(since we have crossed 5k views here is a celebratory chapter :P )
"Well, I was also thinking of doing the same but since I will not get any privacy in my room to do meditation, I will also come to your room to do my meditation practice"
"Okay"
Both Kaida and Yomi went to Kaida's room and without discussing anything both sat in the lotus position to begin their respective exercise
Yomi just had to do meditation since she had not unlocked her chakra, but it was by no means easy since her full concentration should be on her exercise and even a little distraction would interrupt and reset the whole progress
Yomi at first could only maintain her concentration for 5 min at max but it was steadily increasing as time passed on the other hand, Kaida was having much difficulty in doing his exercise
The exercise he was doing was known as leaf concentration in which you have to stick a leaf on your forehead with the help of chakra while sitting in a lotus position
When Kaida started to practice the exercise…
"Hmmm old man had said that chakra has both physical as well as spiritual nature so if I want to move my chakra I just have to will it to move in that direction with full concentration
Let's try doing that
Wow my whole chakra started to move in the direction I wanted it to move and I am pretty sure I have to get a stream-like flow from there to stick on my forehead
Ok let's try to imagine it as a river or a stream and see if it helps"
When Kaida started imagining it as a river the chakra did start to move in the form of the stream but it was by no way a small amount if we calculate the rate at which his chakra was flowing out of his chakra reserve it will be around 20% of his whole chakra reserve per minute
so, at most, he can maintain this for 4 to 4 and a half minutes since he can't fully exhaust his chakra, as it is harmful for anyone to empty his or her chakra
Kaida still decided to continue with the exercise while trying to limit the amount coming out of his chakra reserve and it was by no mean an easy task as whenever he tried to slow down or reduce the amount, the chakra flow stopped immediately
he continued to try and after 5 minutes his chakra became dangerously low that's when he decided to do meditation, as the old man had advised, since it would take nearly 7-8 hours to completely refill his chakra, he decided to continue meditation as well
they both kept practicing and only came out of their room to eat but both with different reason
Kaida because he wanted to become strong and he was too old to play with some 4-year children though the age gap was not that big still he was nearly 14 in his previous life
as for Yomi, she wanted to catch up with Kaida's progress as soon as she can
In the evening when his chakra reserve where full, he again started leaf concentration with nearly the same result, but there was a little improvement leaf fell a lot less from his forehead as he was able to maintain a steady flow of chakra for quite some time
after that, he again started doing meditation till the time for dinner and after that, both of them went to their respective room to sleep as they had to go for training tomorrow at 5:00 AM
(next morning …)
Kaida and Yomi met at the orphanage door and went to their training area before 15 min but the old man was still present there and said
"Great to know that my lesson did not fall on deaf ears
Now I hope both of you have done the exercise I have suggested so come forward one by one so I can examine if there were any problems"
since chances of anything going wrong were low in these beginner exercises old man still decided to take no risk
First, Yomi went forward old man again covered his hand with chakra, and placed it at her back near the solar plexus after 2 min he removed his hand stood back, and said
"Yomi, I can easily see that you have been diligent in your exercise so if you keep doing it like this I am sure you will unlock your chakra in a week or less"
After listening that yomi face bloomed like a flower she thanked the old man and went back to her position and Kaida came forward
The old man again followed the same procedure surprised he asked Kaida what he had done yesterday a look of understanding came on his face and he said
"Kaida it is already great that you were able to stick the leaf on your head on your first try so don't worry you will get better at it as you keep practicing the same exercise"
Kaida also thanked the old man and went back to his position
The old man nodded his head and said
"I can see both of you are serious about your training, so I am just going to give both of you your training plan and you can come to me if you face any problems during your exercise, this damn office work doesn't give me much free time"
after that he passed both of them a paper with full instructions about which exercise they had to do on which day with running, stretching and meditation being common for all days and one day rest reading his training play Kaida asked
"old man why is there one day empty, mean without any training to do"
"well giving rest to your body is as important as doing exercise so don't do any exercise on that day and just enjoy and play on that day," said the old man with a smile
Seeing that none of them had any more doubt old man went back to his office and Kaida and Yomi started their exercise
