7 Start of training and my first death 1

With our introductions pretty much finished, Solomon takes me to a residence in the first ring of the city; the residence is white in a style originated from places like Bagdad, or Syria. We enter and Solomon indicates me to follow him to the garden, in it, there's a red carpet with silver and gold linnings in the form of the Star of David that exist in the national flag of Israel. Solomon tell me to sit down and listen.

"Sit down in the carpet; why I'm gonna teach you the very basics of mage craft they are:

Thaumaturgical Foundation

Resistances

Breathing and Walking

Elements

Origin

The the Thaumaturgical Foundation also now as Greater Magical Formula is the basic of mage craft, with this knowledge you can in theory run a magecraft (program) written within it when a Mage sends a command through their Magic Circuits to it. In other words, Foundations are necessary for the usage of Magecraft. They are various kinds of mage craft like:

Alchemy. - That aims at the study and manipulation of the flow of matter.

Flash Air. - is displacement magecraft that substitutes something for something else.

Memory Partition. - is the ability to partition their thoughts to form multiple independent thought

processes. While normal people can only have a single "room" in their brain and focus on one thought, partitioning adds partitions to the one room to create multiple rooms.

Thought Acceleration. - is the ability to multi−expansion diagrams, is like if you have the speed to take different data, analyse that data and interprate that data. If you use memory partition + Thought Acceleration you became some one that can use it in combat or performing Alchemy.

They are more like Geiss, Curses, Flowing and transferring of power, Healing, Jewel Magecraft and much more but first you will start with Breathing and Walking, Memory Partition, Thought Acceleration, Projection and Reinforcement. After that we will continue with Elements, Resistances, and Healing magecraft; This training needs the use of mana but because mana don't exist here in this universe we will use Profound Energy and if I don't remember wrong mother nature gave you something called Profound Core of Complex Nature, well I was investigating this core and Profound Energy can be used in the same way that mana; with this first I will explain the Breathing and Walking Technique" (Solomon)

In my mind I was memorizing all the information that Solomon gave me, if my memory isn't wrong I need to absorb the profound energy with my profound circuit points in my body later with the technique that Solomon will give me I need to redirect that energy from my circuits points to my core and start to circulate that energy.

"Breathing and Walking is a key concept in Magecraft and Martial Arts. Though mainly affects one's physical fitness, it also plays a role in the strength of nature interference. The absorption of outer energy (breath of life) to connect your inner world to the outer world. The acts of inspiring, expiring and everything in between are part of a process that allows one to take in or power equivalent to the Mother Nature. The Magi use incantation spells to cause a specific phenomenon to occur, but those whose breathing, movement, body and very existence can cause nature interference are beyond that, and that's the realm that you need to be if you want to dominate or even create your Noble Phantasm or personal Skills.

The Breathing and Walking Technique that I will give you is Known as Unrelented and Counter Force. This technique enables you to absorb in an unconscious way the Profound Energy in every part of the universe, this technique is very valuable because permits you absorb energy even when you are sleeping, walking, breathing, etc." (Solomon)

Salomon gave me a lot of information and I'm trying to comprehend what he says, in the first minutes I don't feel something. After 3 hours I feel some kind of energy that permates the space surrounding me, I'm absorbing the energy but I can't maintain it inside my body; after 6 hours of meditating I'm starting to catch the meaning of the technique.

In all the time that I was meditating Solomon is watching me with interest; He knows that I'm not a genius. I struggle to comprehend something but when I put my mind and body in to something I have an advantage and quality that not much people have: Perseverance.

Like that a week pass and I can absorb energy in a meditative pose or walking, my energy core is absorbing like mad the profound energy in my surroundings; Solomon tells me that when I can absorb energy in an unconscious state he will be teaching me memory partition and thought acceleration; other thing that he says is that the later needs to always practice because having more "rooms" and the capacity to obtain data and analyze that data in a very fast speed is the best way to react to the unexpected in combat or daily live.

Three months later my Profound Core is 50% full Solomon started to teach Memory Partition and Thought Acceleration, if I use an analogy is like having multiple CPU's in my brain, the information that I have permits me to analyze different kinds of data in my brain; with Thought Acceleration The speed that I can analyze the data in faster. Right Know I only could use 2 rooms with a lot of difficulty and my speed in analyzing the data increased to 100%.

After 6 months my core is finally full and I'm officially in the 1st level of Elementary Profound Realm; with this I can start my courses in Reinforcement and Projection. The first is the ability is the most difficult Magecraft with the purpose of pushing a basis to the utmost limit. It is the foundation of all Magecraft that enhance the existence of the target by pouring Magical Energy, but as no clear expression of how much it can be enhanced is defined, almighty reinforcements are rare. It is the same as adding something to an object that is already complete, in case of failure the target will receive it as a poison (I nearly die in my first try). Success requires a good grasp of the inner structure to fill openings with Magical Energy. Reinforcing the purpose of existence would be increasing the sharpness of a knife, the nourishment of food, or in the case of a living creature, physical strength and durability. It is impossible to reinforce something vague. As living things will resist invasion of Magical Energy, reinforcing someone else is the hardest. Thanks to Structural Grasp that Solomon teaches me I could reinforce my index finger of my right hand, after a month of entering Elementary Realm; after that my progress is advancing my leaps and bounds, I need to thank Mother Nature for that Title.

1 Year Later my profound strength is 5thlevel of Sky profound realm, the ranks of Thought Acceleration, Memory Partition, Reinforcement and Projection is D+. Right know I can reinforce my body and resist the occacional lightning that Solomon shoots when I'm unprepared or that my thoughts are in the clouds. The numbers of rooms that I can maintain now are 8 and my speed of process is 400%; Solomon tells me that the required number of rooms and speed for using the most basic Noble Phantasm is 16 Rooms and a Speed of 800%. That was a really hard blow, I think that with my actual level could use at least an E rank Noble Phantasm but my dreams were shattered by this monster with a Gentle personality.

"Lucius i think that it's time to start your martial training, with the things a teach you maybe you could maintain a fight with karna for like 3 seconds but don't worry I will be cheering for you" Solomon say that cruel words like nothing, my eyes have a few tears streaming down my face when I heard him say that.

"So… It's My turn?" Karna appears from nothing behind me and without expecting and answer grab my neck and we disapper only to reaper in the forest between The Throne of Heroes and the Coliseum.

"First I'm gonna teach you the basic forms of martial arts, so watch attently" That was a surprise! Karna says more than 3 phrases! I think that my surprise is in my face because Karna have a really dark face.

Karna starts to teach me the basic of martial arts, I don't know much about martial arts but even a layman like me can appreciate the beauty and form of art in what Karna is showing me. In the final moment he re-starts to practice the forms again and again; like in some kind of novel, I'm experimenting a trance of sorts when my mind is emulating the movements that Karna is doing, unconciusly I'm starting to mimic the movements of karna, I don't know how much time passed but when I wake from the trance, my body is drenched in sweat and I'm starting to panic.

"W-w-w-what was that!?"(Lucius)

"That was enlightmen" Says Karna with a solemn face "This forest is call the illusion Forest in here ismore easily to enter that kind of state of mind; we will be practicing here for the next year, in that time i will teach you more advanced forms and strengthing your body with diferent kind of talismans that Xuanzang Sanzang gives me like gravity talimans, restrictives talismans, etc. to enhance your body. Apart from sleeping, eating and bathroom time you will be practicing here. After the first three months we will add Combat Training, I will be your partner so pay attention, and after 6 months you will begin to spar with the other heroes. You have an hour to prepare yourself mentally for what comes." (Karna)

I think that I might die this time but without an strict teacher, I don't think that I can't advance further.

"Let's begin, Master!" (Lucius)
