CH-25 Core

"Oh, where are you going, Iris?" I had specially intended to make my way to the classroom…

Haa…Due to my fractured hand, I changed my path towards the infirmary since my healing capabilities are not that great at present.

However, a voice halted me in my tracks. As I turned, I knew this figure as it was Gwen's. "Good morning, Iris!"

"...Good morning, Teacher!" I greeted her back with a slight nod.

Observing her agitation, she glanced at my hands, And exhaled a fresh air from lungs before gently examining the injury.

[Heal!]

My skin tingled as though brushed by a scurrying ant doing a sexy tango... Ahem.

'It felt as though the injury had never existed.' My broken fingers and bones mended in a millisecond, joined seamlessly together, including skin.

"Light element?" I cutely tilted my head to the side in pure innocence. Typically, those endowed with a light element have the capability to mend another's injuries.

Thanks to Se's intervention, one has the ability to facilitate healing in others.

Admittedly, this method may not be as potent as the healing powers of light element bearers, but it certainly surpasses having no aid at all.

I had some healing abilities. But average cultivators surpassing the resonance realms are able to fully utilize the potential of Spirit Essence Energy.

As for myself, reaching the next realm will mark my accession to this proficiency.

For the time being, I have to depend on medical professionals to tend to my wounds, as these methods are inferior to the healing technique I managed to cure Mis.

"Yes, And let's head to class since I'm running late too." Gwen glanced at her smartwatch and proceeded, striding forward and leaving me trailing.

I hurried to catch up, walking beside her with my hands clasped behind my back. Though my gaze was fixed forward, My focus was on her.

"Teacher, aren't you eccentric about how I injured my hands? It wasn't just a simple contusion or bruises." I spoke primarily, eager to pierce the quietness.

"Hmmm... not as if you would disclose that information." Gwen retorted sharply, her words edged with a hilarious smirk.

"Mmm! That does make sense." I responded, nodding with mandate.

"By the way, would you consider becoming my disciple?" The teacher inquired, pausing to gaze directly into my eyes, which clearly confounded me by flummoxing.

"Not interested!" I rejected it plainly. As a goddess of destruction with pride, the notion of addressing someone else as a master was inconceivable.

How could a deity with my intellect and power, prime minister in wisdom and strength to all, submit to another's tutelage?

After all, there is no one better suited to apprehend my complexities, I have demonstrated: I am smarter, stronger, and snooty to any counterpart.

In my previous existence, I had mastered nearly all there is to know about cultivation. There is scarcely anything to evacuate for others to edify me.

"Truthfully... I don't mean to impose, but your roommate approached me with a request so here we are."

Gwen explained, rubbing the back of her head as we entered the classroom, as it fell silent by our company. "Please, provide me with your response after discussing it with Amelia."

I threw no reply and continued walking towards Amelia. She gave a short wave before returning her concentration to the holographic screen.

"Good morning, Dumb Amelia!" I folded my arms below my chest. She shifted slightly to make space for me to sit beside her.

"Someone appears downhearted today…

Wait! Could it be due to the tight cuddle I gave you last night?" Amelia said loudly, with a nonchalantly face.

My cheeks heated up as I took my seat, our bodies brushing against each other under the watchful eyes of the entire class.

Amelia pistoled a glacier glared their way, the students froze before avoiding their eyes from us.

"C-Come on... don't mention it so casually." I whispered close to her ears since it was a blatant dialogue to me.

Amelia blinked — an expression I found as endearing as that of a puzzled cat. "What about? Is it about sucking your blood? Or the hugging you from behi-"

"You shameless roommate! Just be quiet!" I quickly covered her mouth with my hand, wishing I could dig a black hole and absorb myself into the ground.

Huh… Why am I acting like a kid? Fuaa… yeah, It's because my soul and habits are mixed with Mia's.

"Mmm!" Amelia moaned and rolled her eyes, her gaze landing on the teacher who had a big knowing smile.

"Students!" Gwen announced, her chalk tapping against the blackboard as she wrote her thoughts upon it.

"What is the core? How does it form?" I read aloud.

The words laid out a fundamental concept, familiar to all. As Gwen began her explanation, I repose my chin in my palm, the monotony of the chapter heavily boring on my enthusiasm.

As for the core for living beings development, a child undergoes a have evolution around the age of five or six.

It is during this age that an innate core is thought to form within their soul, license them to perceive spirit essences inside one's vessel to cultivate.

This locus is natural…. Of course not universal; there are rare instances. where an individual doesn't have this internal core, construe them to be incapable of sensing few forms of energy like Se.

Interestingly, these people are often deemed as defying celestial norms.

Crying out for the ability of employees' energies, their bodies reimburse in extraordinary ways, prosper enhanced strength and resilience than a normal cultivators.

But these attributes allow them to possess powers akin to those of deities, all while maintaining their earthly existence.

The probability of such a case is very unique, estimated at one in a billion, smudging those who experience it as truly exceptional beings.

"And Yes, does anyone know how you can figure out your core's ranking?" Gwen scanned the classroom like a hungry lioness eyeing a field of plump gazelles.
