38 Limiter

Nodus left the girls and Irvin in the basement of his shop. Bu One was given the full authority to train them into elite soldiers like the ones from his army. The android also injected the syringe into the slaves that would boost their overall recovery cells which mean they could get result three times faster than a normal warrior. Now with his new problem , Nodus could not feel his mana as much as he could with his psychic qi. 'I have to seek for guidance..' The young man left his bed and went out to the field where Kathrina and the girls were. Ivy and the rest of her guards were out on business while the parents was taking their daughter for a walk.

"Sister Kathrina , I cannot feel it.. the mana substance is too faint." The teacher told him to show a demonstration. With his palm open , a small fire ball appeared and he slowly aimed at the air. Fooshh , the small fire ball flew with a lightning speed and exploded in mid air. After the explosion , six more mini fire ball appeared and curved into each other , resulting in a additional explosion. "Your control is amazing but.. I do not feel it like you said , you are igniting your spells with mana but also half of something else while your control was fully on the something else , what are you using Nodus?" The man stared at the teacher with a serious expression. "I use something call psychic qi." With a lift of his hand , a tiny bush on the side of the mansion floated infront of Kathrina. "Amazing.. I can feel a entire foreign energy without a hint of mana.."

After pondering for a while , the teacher came up with a resolution. "I understand.. It must be because of that qi you are talking about.. can you not use it at all?" The young man shook his head as it was like telling him to breath in a different way. "This is a time seal.. I still wear one even now!" He suddenly heard his sister voice echoing through his mind. 'That's it! The limiter.' Nodus threw out his locker chip and after going through his stuff , he found a tiny metal box. After opening the box , he picked up a black metal pin that had a planet engraving onto it. 'Sister...' The teacher stared curiously at the tiny pin he was holding with his fingers. "What is that Nodus..? Your solution?" The young man nodded and folded the sleeve on his neck and punctured the sharp bottom side of the pin.

"Hmmm!" Nodus grinded his teeth as he felt a immense pain that spread out to his entire body. His muscle cramped while his brain felt like it was drowning in boiling water. With his knees on the floor , Nodus held onto his head as he silently shouted in pain. 'Sister did this every times as a child! I can do it!' Kathrina ran toward Nodus but was blown away as a strong gust of wind hit her back. "What is happening!" An old man with the glowing magic robe who was in the crowd yesterday came out from the balcony door that was all the way on top of the school academy tower. "A tornado inside the city?!" Nodus was like the eye of a tornado as he pulled all the wind toward him. The young man felt the pain fading away as the gust wind gradually died down.

Looking around , he could see that the tiles of the mansion were on the field along with fully uprooted trees and plants everywhere. Kathrina was holding the two little girls as she set up a small barrier while the two little girls was dumbfounded at the messy garden. "Nodus! Are you alright?!" The teacher put away her barrier and held Nodus. With his face slightly pale , Nodus had no visible wounds or internal bleeding , the young man simply nodded. "The solution has worked.." Painfully opening his palm , a magic graph slowly appeared with a fire ball on top of it but with the pain he felt , Nodus couldn't focus onto the magic graph any longer.

"Don't! You have to rest Nodus..." The teacher lifted him up and supported the young man. Laying him onto his bed , Kathrina could see the disappointment on his face. "What's wrong child..?" The teacher sat beside him and stroked gently on his face. "I wanted to learn today." The teacher chuckled." Silly.. I saw you relying solely on mana to ignite a fire... You did it as if it was a part of your life..." Nodus stared at the teacher as he inclined his head sideways. "Don't you get it Nodus..? Normally a beginner magician would have to focus on their casting that they memorized through training and that take months of practice.. while you did it easily just like that and faster than any enlightened magician I've ever seen..You are a natural."

Understanding that the teacher was trying to tell him that his comprehension level was abnormal , Nodus nodded and smiled at Kathrina. "Thank you sister Kathrina and I am sorry about the damage.." The teacher cuddled the young man until she was satisfied "Aslong you are fine and that would be the payment!" And then she left the room to help the maids clean up the mess. "Teacher , what happened to the field? Is brother Nodus alright?" Mimi and Ali questioned the teacher as they yanked her sleeves. "Don't worry , Nodus will be fine.. and he will be practicing with us soon!" The girls were jumping around in joy but Kathrina quickly shot them down. "Nodus already left you two far behind so you need to work harder to catch up to him!"

With him as a motivation , the two little girls quickly went back into a deep meditation states.'These girls.. they are quick learners too...' Kathrina was unaware that not only Nodus had a high comprehension , he also had a blessing from a magical beast that would help him alot in the future with his mana cultivation. "Girls , stand back." With a staff appearing in her hand , Kathrina slammed it onto the ground as she casted a white magic spell. The tiles , trees and every thing else was pushing into one pile of mess in the middle of the garden. Kathrina then ordered the maids to go call a builder to fix the mansion. "Principal? What bring you here?" An old man who was standing on his staff quickly descended and jumped off his staff in front of Kathrina. "I felt a abnormal occurrence so I hurriedly and came here.. judging by that pile of debris , it must of came from here." The old man with a long white beard held onto his staff as he stared at the young lady for answers.

Kathrina eyes glowed as she thought of an idea. "Forgot about the event.. what if I ask you to lend me your mana cultivation technique?" The old man was shocked and rebuked Kathrina. "W..What do you mean! I would never , ever , ever and NEVER give my-" "He mastered a basic ball after casting it once and came up with a stronger version that he perfectly casted again for the first times." Before he could even finish , the old man froze upon hearing what Kathrina said. "What! Where is that child?! Bring him to me I will take him as my disciple and pass down my cultivation technique to him!" Kathrina spread her arms and stopped the old man from breaking into his mansion to look for Nodus.

"I found him first!" After fighting with words back and forth , they came into agreement that they would both teach Nodus , during the day times he would be with the principal and night times he would be thought by Kathrina. With that settled , Nodus unknowingly gotten himself two ultimate magicians as teachers. "Now that we came into a accord , where is that child? and who are those little girls?" Kathrina led the old man to a chair and explained to him that Nodus has to recover from a little wound and he should be fine by tomorrow. "What!? Who dare harm my disciple!" The old man stood up furiously and attracted the attention of the maids with his loud shout. "Dummy old man! Shut up and listen to me!" The old man obediently shut his mouth and sat back down.

"Child! I am still a rank higher than you , where is your respect !?" The old man gently stomped his staff repeatedly as he pretended to be angry at Kathrina. "Principal.. I respect you as an elderly , as for your rank , hmmp I am 100 years younger than you , I will surpass you soon!" With a sigh of defeat the old man calmed down and allowed Kathrina to continue. "Nodus... We don't know where he is from but he isn't from this continent for sure.. and as for his age , he is 16 years old." "16 ?....-" Before the old man could doubt her again ," He built his foundation in less than a day." The words that were in his throat turned into air as he breath them out of his mouth. "Puuuuh , WHAT!? How is that even possible?!" Kathrina crossed her arms as she enjoyed keeping the old man in suspense.

"Stop that! Your mocking smile won't get me... Fine tell me! please!" The old man gave up really quickly as he begged Kathrina to continue her introduction about Nodus. "That's what you get for cutting me off hmmp... Anyway not only he has a high comprehension , he can also gather mana and purify them because of his ... foundation , I think.." The old man stood up and almost fainted as he supported himself with the staff. "Kathrina! You know what that means!? I never been so happy in my entire life! Good job! " With a thumb up , the old man slumped straight onto the ground. "Sigh.. Principal you..... fainting from happiness should be something only for women.."

"Beep! 3000 push up! The one who doesn't finish the courses won't get to eat for the entire day!" The android shouted loudly with his unfazed expression by simply turning up his volume level as he watch over the training of Evelyn and co. "You call yourself a Proximus mercenary with just this?! Even the newest squad can easily do 10 000 push up a day!" Not knowing who Bu One was comparing them to , the slaves still felt a sense of anger as they cursed at those abnormal people. 'How many push up does the oldest squad have to do then!?" With Nodus permission , Bu One transferred 10% of pure energy from White Jade and build a second floor underneath the first basement. The second floor was mainly for training purposes and it simulated a dense forest with the center of the forest empty.

The slaves had to learn how to set up their own tent and beds during the night by 11 PM. The slaves would then have to wake up at 5 AM to do thousands of push up , sit ups , heavy weight lifting and run 65 miles around the forest. While they ran through the forest , Evelyn and co received many small wounds and scratch but they realized that it would quickly heal up with no marks behind. 'It must be because of that liquid needle..' Other than Irvin , the girls all thought of the same thing as they knew that they could not normally do even 40 push up in a day.
