3919 Fourth
The sweat dripped from my body as I performed the pose after pose of the dance of ukasanavor.
Every moment, a massive amount of energy would enter my body. Filled with the solution that I had drilled through the syringe.
I could feel the powerful soul sense covering me. As always, it tried to sense the energy but was failing.
I had found out, that one couldn't sense the energy clearly. They could sense it, but not as clearly as me. It was a surprise when I found out.
It was the first shown in the test.
One day, I asked Anna to sense it. She could sense it but told me there was a repelling force, that is keeping her soul sense away from it.
I do not feel any repelling force.
I could sense every bit of it clearly, since this dangerous energy entered every part of me.
Buzz!
I was halfway through the practice when I had felt my badge buzz. A message came and it must be as important as only those rings.
Well, it may be important, but I cannot see it, till I finish with the methods.
Minutes passed, and the sweat kept dripping through my body. When finally, the solution and energy seeped inside me before getting covered with the formation.
I nearly stumbled before I stabilized myself and sat down on the floor gently.
I wiped away the sweat with my energy, before picking up the badge and opening the message, that came.
"Good," I said enthusiastically. It is the message about the mission.
Many organizations have some quirky rules. Arvos had a few too. One of them is, after a big level-up, the first three missions are given by the organization.
One can not choose them. The only thing, one could do was reject.
That won't change the things about the mission. The organization will keep giving them until one completes the three missions.
I think it's stupid and restrictive. One should be able to choose the kind of missions they have to do, with the exception of mandatory and confidential missions.
I read the mission details, before accepting it.
I would have loved it if it had come a week or two later.
It had just been two days since I had seeded those three. I would have loved to have information on my hand, before going out to send to the tor.
I barely have anything useful until I do. I won't be able to send anything to the organization.
It's such a regret, that I couldn't decline the mission. In all his time, Ranis Card had declined the mission only once and there was good reason for it.
So, I accepted it, to not arouse any suspicion.
Buzz!
A few seconds later, more details came, but there weren't many. I will have to leave tomorrow and will know the details on time.
It will be the team mission; there are three more people besides me.
I closed the window and started to practice the talaras constitution.
Which is just as dangerous as the dance.
There are things happening in it, but it didn't stretch as it had during the completion of the first level, but it is getting stronger.
I could see every session was making it stronger, which is good.
The last time it had stretched itself. Though it wasn't weakened or even cracked. I was a little scared, since it was not something I had ever seen or read about.
The stronger it is now, the better it will be during the completion of the second stage. If something like that had happened.
If it had been conventional, I wouldn't have been worried about it, but it is not.
It is something unique. This means a lot of things could go wrong. If it had happened, then it would have been terrible for me, because there would be no saving.
There will be a death, and it will be painful.
Finally, the session was over, and I fell asleep on the floor.
When I woke up, it was morning. I need to meet the teammates, two and half hours later.
So, I did what I hadn't done in two weeks. I went to shower and felt the water.
I wanted to moan as the water cascaded on my body, but I had controlled myself. Instead, enjoyed it silently.
I didn't want to go on the mission, but at least, it let me have a shower.
If the mission is long, I might be able to shower a few more times and even eat the fresh food made from my hands, which I miss very much.
I came out of the shower fifteen minutes later, which is longer than what Ranis spends on it, but I couldn't control myself and indulged a little.
I came out and sat on the ground crossed-legged before closing my eyes.
A moment later, I started to practice the soul method, while I entered the core.
Hun!
The lesson had finished, and I was working on homework when suddenly, I got out and took the reins of the method in my hand.
It had started advancing.
It had advanced before three times already, but not in here.
The runes lit up and sent the energy if it is normal. I don't want them to know, I am advancing the method.
Ranis was at the fifth level of it, while I am advancing to the fourth.
I had advanced pretty fast in the method. Which isn't surprising seeing, I had a pure soul. It makes practice quite easy and method nearly useless.
It is a soul-cleansing method with the side benefits of providing stability and healing to the soul.
Which is what helped Ranis. My soul already has that.
The only reason I had even practiced the method was because the organization had asked. I could have just faked it, but decided not to reveal my abilities too much.
I continued to practice since I came here because it helped me fake the method better by adding the original element.
It didn't take much from me aside from a little focus. If it had taken more than that, I would have stopped.
I circulated it faster and faster, till I began to feel the soul getting tighter and tighter.
Crack Crack Crack…Bang!
Finally, I started to hear the cracks, and they widened before the bang rang out, making my soul free again.
I felt the effect rushing in and they lasted for over two minutes before they had finally stopped.
Hun!
I was planning to return to the library when my clone saw something, and I appeared beside it.
'Interesting,' I thought, looking at the changes in my soul.
They have affected me more than I had thought.
I thought the effects would be unnoticeable, but they are quite noticeable. However, they are still level of Sovereign. It is still quite surprising.
My soul is clear. So, it is quite hard to affect it to the level it had, especially at the Sovereign level.
'It seemed like, the method is a little special. I should put more focus on it,' I thought.
If I wanted to, I would have reached this level weeks ago. Its progress depends on circulation. The faster it is, the swifter would be the progress.
Seeing the effects. I decided to put a little more focus on practicing it from now on.
