Rishi did as the professor asked him. He first forgot about all the hate and revenge, and then he imagined himself as a tree that only provides for other beings. The enhanced focus of Rishi activated, and he started to release a peaceful presence.
He then started to release a kind presence, and before he started thanking everyone that helped him in his life, he also started thanking nature for making it possible for others to survive.
When Rishi started doing it in an extreme-focused state, he unintentionally hypnotized himself.
He started believing that he was a tree and that his job was helping others. This process led to the life force present in nature getting attracted to him.
The presence he was released, combined with his high charm stats, made his belief even stronger. The green mist started appearing around Rishi, and he started to feel that there were uncountable living particles surrounding him.
The more he focused, the more calm he became; he also broke through the level of his meditation before breaking through the max level of his Enhanced Focus skill. This skill became Extreme Focus, but Rishi didn't notice as his focus was becoming one with nature.
When the professor saw this, a chill ran through him. "How is it possible? How can he attract the life force of nature like that?"
"From what I know, he always releases an evil presence filled with hate and revenge, but now he is able to release the presence of a saint."
"And what is this charm? Was his charm not working due to his presence, but with the calm and peaceful presence, the effect of his charm has multiplied? Even the grass, plants, and trees are getting attracted toward him."
"I have just asked him to feel like a tree, but he is releasing the presence of a literal tree. I think this idiot has accidentally self-hypnotized himself into believing that he is a tree. Should I intervene or let him continue?" The professor was thinking with his right hand on his chin.
After thinking for a while, he decided, "It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. The life force of nature is reacting with his life force."
"If he is able to absorb the life force of nature, then I believe he will be able to regenerate his aura very quickly."
"This will also increase the amount of aura he can release. I should ask the students to guard him and not let anyone come close to him. If someone accidentally wakes him up in between, it could be dangerous for him."
The professor contacted the disciplinary committee and asked them not to let anyone enter the park; he informed the head teacher and got permission from him to close the nature park.
Many students tried to protest, to which the professor replied that maintenance was going on and the park would open again for all people in the evening.
The professor checked again to see if someone was sneaking into the park before visiting again. This time some plants have started growing near Rishi, and the vines are climbing all over his body.
The Magic Beasts were also playing near him; everyone looked very happy. The view was very peaceful and phenomenal, but the professor was not happy.
He started to reconsider his decision. If things kept going on like that, then it was not far-fetched to think that Rishi would literally become a tree.
The plants near him started growing rapidly due to the presence of nature's energy and life force, and the life force inside Rishi started to transform. The life force of nature mixed up with his life force and started becoming one.
The life force in the surrounding started to enter Rishi's body, filling up every cell in his body with life force. His skin started getting cleansed, and all the imputities started coming out.
Some injured tissues that are still not healed started regenerating at a rapid pace. The hairs on Rishi also started growing. The effects of the high level of life force started becoming visible on Rishi's body.
His body also started to become stronger and bigger. When the professor, who had gone for a walk, saw Rishi again, he was not able to tell if it was the Rishab he knew or some humanoid magic beast.
His long silver hairs with black ends were floating, and he was now getting covered by the plants, which were covering him in a sherry ball. The professor was losing patience, so he brought out his sword.
If things started to get out of hand, he would fight nature. But when the thought had just come out of his mouth, the trees and grasses around him suddenly started moving in a strange manner, as if asking him to respect nature and not interfere.
The professor was confused and anxious. A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and suddenly a hand fell on his shoulder. He turned and saw a beautiful lady with long green hair and emerald-green eyes.
She was wearing a white dress that made her look even more beautiful. The professor, like last time, forgot everything else when he saw her.
She now had the same beautiful smile on her face. "Don't be anxious; it's not what you think; he is receiving a blessing from nature."
The professor kept looking at her and nodding; she bypassed him and started looking at Rishi. "Strange, how can someone who was always surrounded by an evil presence look so holy now? Is it because this is his real presence and his heart was always pure—the evil of this world just tainted him?"
The professor asked, "What are you doing here, Professor Trisha."
The beautiful woman said, "I sensed the presence of the strange phenomenon in nature and decided to take a look myself."
"Can you explain to me how it all started, Professor Roy?" said Trisha as she looked at Roy with a smile.
The professor explained the whole incident while adding somethings about how well he explained nature to Rishab, due to which he was able to sense Life Force very fast.
He also explained how he asked Rishi to belied he was a tree while adding how beautiful this nature is.
"Really, I never knew you liked nature so much, Profesor Roy," said Trisha.
"I plant the same number of trees on my birthday as my age, I don't try to brag, but I am also someone who cares about the environment most. Look, this park was created due to my idea did you like it."
"It's alright; You should have asked me. I would have given you some suggestions," said Trisha.
The professor took Trisha's hand and said, "It was because I didn't want to disturb you, or I would have contacted you. It is still not late; we can try to improve this park further together."
"If you both are done, can I also take a look," said a voice from back; Roy and Trisha separated.
Professor Roy asked, "What are you doing here, Professor Anya."
"Why wouldn't I come when my student, who somehow always gets into dangerous situations, Is again in trouble? If something happens to him, I won't forgive you Roy."
