Chapter 81 Meditation (I)

Meditation, this is something that can be traced back all the way to 5,000 BCE according to history on the blue star.

However, with the passage of time meditation did not die down, rather it became a vital part of most modern-day religions back on the blue star.

So what is meditation? According to the blue start, meditation is the art of using a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm, and stable state

Although not widely used, no solid proof had confirmed its effectiveness

Due to this, Elric, as well as many other scientists subconsciously looked down on those religious fanatics who meditated and shouted every day to become a Buddha.

Fast-forward time to the present, and the meditation techniques that Elric once looked down, have become a major foundation and help in pioneering the wizarding path

Thinking of this, Elric couldn't help but wonder if the blue star he lived on was really just an ordinary planet, if so, why can the useless meditation techniques from there resonate with the mana here

"It seems that when I'm strong enough, I have to go back to the blue start and investigate it for a bit"

Sitting in a room not too far from the practice space Elric sighed as he felt his hometown might not be that simple

"However, now's not the time to think of that'

"Primitives I hope you don't let me down, you're my hope to make a comeback on the main plane"

Clenching his fists with excitement, Elric decided to forget about everything for now and rather focus on the meditation session that was about to begin

With this I'm mind, Elric pulled open a curtain by his side.

*Swoosh!*

Immediately the curtain opened, the full scenery of the practice space was displayed before his eyes

Looking at the orderly row behind George, Elric let out a smile as he was happy by their good behaviour

Soon, under Elric's watchful gaze, George began to arrange them one by one into position so as to not disturb anyone during their mediation.

"Haha, it seems I should leave George in charge of them often, so how easily he's putting them into order, it's like he was made for this!"

Seeing George handle everything so easily, Elric couldn't help but sigh, compared with him who prefers to just lock himself up and study, George who is more active and should be left to do all the things related to interacting with people

Thinking of this, Elric silently made up his mind to Puch most if not all of the remaining duties on George

However, just when Elric thinking of putting all the pressure on George, George who was in the centre of the practice space suddenly felt a shiver down his spine

"What was that just now!"

Feeling the shiver, George turned his head left and right unfortunately he couldn't find the culprit

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"

Spending almost thirty minutes running and not seeing any culprit, George couldn't help but wonder if he was going crazy. Too bad at this moment, there was no one to answer his question.

Slightly sighing, George decided not to think much about it, instead, he focused on the group before him

Sitting in a lotus position, All eyes turned towards him waiting for him to give the go-ahead before they started meditating

Luckily, George quickly understood what they meant and quickly followed suit sitting in a lotus position in front of the crowd

"Ahem!"

Clearing his throat, George began to address everything he could think of before they started meditating, introducing all the rules and regulations to them

"Everyone, before we start meditating, there are a few things you should know"

"Firstly, under no circumstances must you interrupt someone in the middle of meditating, according to headmaster Elric, a sudden interruption might result in mana deviation"

"And no, while I am not going to explain to you what Mana deviation is, let me just tell you"

"It's definitely something you'd never want to experience during your lifetime"

Saying this, George suddenly looked at the crowd trying to scan their reactions.

And sure enough, at this time some of their faces were already pale after all although George didn't explain what it was, but the hand signs and gestures used by him let them know of its terrifying nature

George, sensing their change in attitude, knew his plan had worked.

"However don't be scared, as long as you behave calmly whether you're meditating or not, none of that would happen to you"

Hearing George's words, the crowd couldn't help but sigh in relief

"Alright! Next thing!"

Seeing that everyone had already calmed down, George continued speaking

"Secondly, once you're done meditating, you can either leave this place quietly or continue staying here hoping to enter meditation mode again. However, no matter what you choose make sure not to disturb anybody"

"And lastly if you meditate and you can't enter a deep state or see mana, relax! , Don't think about it too much and force yourself to succeed"

"You can try today, you can try tomorrow, and even the day after that, so take your time there's no rush"

"Remember what I said before, I believe all of you have a chance to become wizards!"

Listening to George's words, the crowd couldn't help but nod seriously, even Nico, Lilith, And Aoma had stopped joking around and looked in George's direction with eyes blazing with determination

Everyone here knew what as stake, although George and even Elric earlier said that it wouldn't matter if they didn't become wizards, but deep down everyone knew their status would remain the same

According to the current trend, it was most likely that non-wizards would have little if not no role in Elric's next plans, so in order to remain relevant everyone clenched their fist tightly ready to give a hundred-and-one percent

And George, although he didn't know what was exactly going on in their minds, he could roughly tell judging from their body

reactions and expressions, and seeing them like this, George knew there was nothing more he could say to them

"Alright everyone let's start"

"I, George, am once again wishing you luck!"

Closing his eyes, George as well as everyone else began to slowly fall into a state of meditation .
