Magnus smiled as Atticus bowed, the sincerity in his appreciation evident, and this time, he made no effort to conceal his smile.

Atticus, however, remained in his bowing position, unable to see the warm gesture from his grandfather. After a brief moment, Magnus began to speak, his voice measured and composed.

"Good. We shall start your lessons immediately," Magnus declared. He gestured toward the floor in front of him, prompting Atticus to sit cross legged. Without hesitation, Atticus took his place.

Magnus leaned forward and began, his tone direct, "First, let's start by getting rid of your foolish mindset regarding perception."

Atticus's lips subtly twitched at the blunt manner of his grandfather's speech. To be honest, this was the longest time he had heard the man speak.

Atticus hadn't spoken or interacted with him enough to formulate Magnus's personality. But from what he had seen so far, one thing was certain: he sure was blunt.

Disregarding Atticus's mild embarrassment, Magnus continued, "From what I've observed, you mainly utilize your eyesight when training, and you believe that by always pushing that to the limits, your perception will grow accordingly, right?"

Atticus nodded in response to Magnus's inquiry. This was how he had always trained, and he didn't see anything wrong with it because it had always worked for him. Every single time he uses his perception, he had always focused on his eyes, receiving all the information with his sight.

"Your approach," Magnus stated firmly, "Is flawed, deeply flawed. While it's true that pushing your limits can enhance your perception, you are focusing solely on one facet of your perception"

"Training like that is completely superficial and you would eventually reach a bottle neck you won't be able to pass no matter what. You are basically wasting the potential of perception."

With an enhanced sense of touch, he could have heightened tactile perception to help him gauge any changes in the environment.

Lastly, he would be able to detect any and all scents in the area, identifying hidden poisons or threats.

These were all profoundly important aspects he had been neglecting for a long time. A fact that was anger inducing.

Once again, Magnus's words brought Atticus out of his thoughts.

"Now, your bloodline," he said.

"Although I've observed that you still train your bloodline appropriately, I noticed you don't seem to understand how important it is."

"Bloodlines are an integral part of who you are. They define you at your core. Without having absolute control and understanding of your bloodline, reaching the pinnacle will remain unattainable," Magnus emphasized.

Atticus took everything single thing Magnus had said today seriously. After the incident at the Raven camp when he had received that power boost, Atticus had seen the enormous potential his perception had.

He had subconsciously assumed that it was the most important part of his power that he had to train to get stronger, which is why he had been putting more focus on training his perception than his other abilities.

Although he still trained all of his abilities, it wasn't up to the same intensity as he does for his perception.

Seeing Atticus nod, conveying his understanding,

"Good," Magnus continued, "Now let us proceed to the core of our training."
