4 CHAPTER 4: Origin and lecture

Ash POV

2 years after that hunting session people of my village look at me like Hunting god because when the crew hunt with me, their always new species into my Farming pit. That boars change the concept animal in my vocabulary when one of it kin charge at me but I dodge it and crash it into root of Ironwood tree, I thought its going to dizzy but who knew that it put a hole on it. Yes it push into it back to back of a giant root of Ironwood tree that a giant with 10 men bear hug it.

It give me fright I swear! so I stun it with Spear of judgement to put it on cold when I put rope that made from Ironwood tree fiber that waived by villagers,then I hit by wave of mana, Like tier 0 array 2. I was surprised after I bind it and ask myself, are this boar have mana tempering technique? Because occasionally I ate venison meat from boar but it doesn't have mana when It serve into my table then light bub shines on me. Natural instinct, they gatherings mana base on their instinct to live longer in wild while we sentinel being have capacity to think have think way from gathering of mana, this is the way of world that balancing itself from further chaos. Thinking this if sentinels have capacity to absorb mana without doing anything just to keep him or her self alive then world will crumpled apart. Then why its doesn't have mana when it serve into table? When I look around and see one of the crew slit the neck of one boar its hit me one big gush of remorse, I know the answer

(sentinel-beings have capacity to think)

"Dont kill it we going to kill it when we're going to cook it" I command the crew

"why ash? you know this is heavy enough so draining some of blood and removing its bone can lighten it weight" Uncle hunter said

"because it has mana If we kill it now the mana leak into it, just look at me and wolves, we are young but powerful than our peers because of mana in our body that strengthen me and them" I said to them that made them amaze

"Yeah, now you mentioned it 10 hunters is not match with that lead wolf of yours" uncle sam, Uncle Hunter's subordinate said but he doesn't know 5 of fang is no match of me

(Hunter-it's a name of a major character

hunter- people who hunt game. Well I know it's confusing so check the first letter)

"Yes Uncles if you eat mana fill meat you can strong as fang, well of course you need to meditate to stored into your body" I explain to them

"You heard the young chief, now tie them, hey you get your team and find relatively slim but long branches we saddle them up, Sam butcher the half dead with your team" Uncle Hunter delicate the task

"Wait take the Half dead into one place I need some parts from them that you deem unworthy but I give you surprise later on"I said to them

I will teach them to take tendon and later on make bow

From that we amassed great numbers of tendon mana fill, meat and live boar and other animals. The tendon has retained their mana , same to their bones and tusk but for some reason I don't develop anything from bones because its too brittle for tusk... I developed one of my(our) past time in game, carving. Well the process is both easy and difficult, using Iron Chesil, I conduct my mana on it and carve runes on it. My mom love to look on it but she didn't know that this ornaments have great use, some of it have buffs like mana amplifiers, mana gathering, strengthen bone and many more

The forest is natural treasure trove waiting to unearth, It has metal, herbs heck even resources for my endeavour it has it so I use it wisely without using waste... I guess it has because of my students

By the way the kids that I teaching has great potentials. To mathematics till chemistry then alchemy to mechanical forgery. I have talents in class. My students is 7356 but I batch them into 7 class for 7 days of my week. 1300 of it is natural mathematicians, 2000 of artistic talent great for rune making or ornament making, 500 alchemy protege, 1000 mechanical genius and so much more

Dont belittle this scolars and mechanics because they are all warriors. 3000 of them is warrior harnessing mana, 2500 of them is mage and the rest? They are biggest talents I every laid eyes on. If one of this kids respawn in CTSAM they going to treat by players like their own child than their own sons or daughters, because of one thing, they have elemental bodies. Elemetal body can harness even harshest and cruelest elements base on their elemetal affinity, they can exhibit the 100% of their talent if nurtured meticulously. Since then after awakening ceremony(elemetal affinity test) I give my all attention to them. Giving the best teaching and nurturing.

Monday, vito(june/God of wine) 11,890 era of gods abandonment

"Guys what do you think on mana? Gifts from gods or curse? Guys think about it if gods didn't give the knowledge about magic can you use it while animals in the forest keep evolving because of mana. Yes mana is gifts from us but also curse. But it's not gift by gods" I was lecturing 1000 Student in a In close stadium, I order to build it for teaching and gathering

"But young chief gods is powerful. They can split mountain, wave the sea and move the clouds then where it came from?" A Girl with golden Iris with amber colour hair ask, she is Amber the leader of this class. She has Golden flame salamander Elemetal spirit

"Mana... Well the origin of mana is... The boundless sea of stars or outer space. Last time I lecture about astronomy because of this, did I say the outer space is both heaven and hell? Because on it has purest mana but also black matter that can kill you when it touch you even millisecond"

"Our planet has filter that purified the things in outer space, the purest mana enter without any obstruction but black matters purified by our hemisphere and convert it into harsh element or you can say rogue elements. Rogue element can birth elemetal spirits that can be both mindless or sentinels beings.

"mana in sense can be describes as water flowing in boundless sea of stars and going into faucet in planet to nurture it" I explain my hypothesis to them base on my experience.... Or same explanation of CTSAM

"Then young chief you said to us that Elemetal spirit useful and harmful in the sametime, why?" Ask by young man with black Iris with long black hair, his name is Umbra, one of member of elemental body holder, he has light body holder and have Luminous lion elemetal spirit

"because element spirit can help you in cultivation and fighting but also in too much reliance on it will hindrance your growth. Example, you have strong spirit like Undying tree of life, you think you will be unstoppable but remember even basic and technique is your best reliance to stay alive because even you are undying you get tired, overdraft your mana, exert your muscles, broke your bone after that you want to die but because the spirit resides in you you can't die... It is worst than death don't you think?"I said to them but one of holder of elemental body petrified, his name is talas he has shadow body and Tree of Agris elemental spirit.

Angris is Lord of underworld according to Tree, it was plant by lord himself then gain undying life but tree spirit like it can't stay in living realm for too long so he sign contract with other spirit to take over to take it place after 500 years.

"Hehe then young Chief we can cut them into pieces, let then see their own body so let them wish they we're dead" said by young man with white hair and gray Iris, his name is Penumbra, twin brother of Umbra and also holder of darkness elemental body, has shrouded leopard elemetal spirit and always antagonise Talas because they always arguing who is best warrior in dark element category

When you compare umbra and penumbra is like comparing day and night with inverted shade also personality, if umbra is merciful Penumbra is sadist

(umbra-light penumbra- dark)

"Hmmm you can do that if you have great hatred to that person but personally that was to cruel in war or fight and tarnishing your name as warrior" I said to him but I know Talas has blanched face now like he drink bleach, I need to kill his arrogance before he kill himself in any battlefield... Or despair that he wish he is dead

"Great but according to your wolf elemental spirit Our clan is first to establish contracts to them, then young Chief why we still lecturing this subject" Ask by amber

"Establishing contact with Elemetal spirit is one of the kind that righteous faction path, but don't you think their always other part of coin, no? Think about legend about our forefathers, They lived as human sacrifice back then by dark elves, is because the offering our grandparents to their god? No, they asking their god to give them strength to fight in mainland. Magic, might and bravery is not enough to became one of power back then they need powerful weapons.

Yes,Gia forbidden any gods to interact with their followers but they can help them by releasing their might to captured spirit and printing slave crested to give to their followers" I said to them with calm voice but the impact to them is like 100 nuke exploded to their heads

"How dare them!"

"Elemetal spirit is messenger of world like Gia and they slaving them, I will help them If I strong enough"

"I hope our forefathers is in peace now in afterlife"

"Slave crest, life lease and other kind of evil path is unorthodox path. We revs is one of orthodox path maybe their is other type of path but our way is way more beneficial" I said to them

I end the lecture after few mins and left them in their own course, leasure and hard work hand in hand. You can't pour water in pot of plant constantly you need let them digest it to nurture themselves

I went home after tidying my things what welcome me is 3 pups of fangs hooping around in front yard of our villa

Shockingly this pups is all omega type wolf, a rare type dire wolf. Their is 4 types of dire wolfs, 1st is normal type dire wolf... Well they are the premitive ones but numerous ones. next is alpha wolf strongest but its base on pact it owns, which mean the more the better. Next is omega wolf, they are the well rounded also the true stongest type- they are lone wolf, the more experienced they are the stronger they are. Last is beta dire wolf the weakest but whole level wickedness and cunning, they are sickly but smartest can be brain of pact, wicked is strength

This pups is my number 1 priority to nurture because like in the game, CTSAM, their is a player who like wolves so he kidnap pups of wolf king in his land and nurture it and one of it is omega dire wolf. He train it, give best treatment and also care more than his biological son till he broke their relationship. It is sad story but for some reason it paid it well, the Omega wolf he nurture became legendary entity in game, it alone protected his country and fight 3 neighbour County siege simultaneously and defeat them, with only minor injury. His son amaze to that wolf and reconcile with his father and together nurture that wolf together

But nurturing this pups is one scary expensive. One each eat young wild cattle a day or 3 adult boar, by the way the meals of this food prey is also precious, they are Ingremida herb, a magic herb that I domestically plant with so much effort of trial and error. Ingremida herb is most basic but important ingredient in making potions and pill in alchemy so even in the game it has many supply it also very demanding

But thank goodness in this world, Ingremida is not very demanding base on people who visit main land, people in main land use them as tea leaves only and take note by commoner only. If any player who knew this they will massacre this wasteful bastards. Yes, the herb is very fragrance and deliciously mild, of course because the mana in it but using it as tea leaves is wasteful beyond redemption, well who is talking? I using it as feeds for animals if they knew even my soul will be imprison

When I get home 1st thing I do is get the treat I prepared for them of course for me also, it is Meat of Golden rabbit that marinated in Ingremida herb essence. Golden rabbit is king of rabbit born once every 1000 days, well rabbit in wild has very life existences because of being prey but dont get me wrong this kind of rabbit can knock out a 1 tonne of cow, what's more a wolf. So I personally hunt it. It's meat has high nutrition value and permanently increase strength and dexterity plus with Ingremida as catalyst to retain and improve the meat the effect is magnificent

I cut 3 pieces for 3 of them and take the rest in kitchen, when I get there their is 4 people holding wooden plate and pointy steel like pens. They are one of rare jobs in CTSAM, magic Chefs. This 4 is 3 girls and 1 man, their name is Mesh, Alein, Gwen and Astro respectively

"Oh? You are early today young Chief, so what is the dish you will teach us?" boldly ask by Astro

"Astro get dryed Ingremida leaves, Mesh ground Maybells nuts, Alein stir fry some woodsling mushrooms using essential oil of haze tree and gwen heat the mana stream plates" I give some instructions while running my hands into body of the rabbit like plucking guitar, if you think the size of this rabbit is small then you are mistaken, this bunny is size of boar weight in 50 to 100 kilograms so even I cook for 3 houses I have spare for tomorrow. The ingredients I states is also mana base plants, maybells nuts is taste like almond nuts but more earthly flavor well its earth base mana plant so yeah. woodsling mushrooms is one eccentric fungi, it is wind base mana plant with juicy and tasty flavor but one make you think is way its way of living, like fungi in the world it attach itself into trees or moss places but went wind blows even breeze it fly or detached its self into ground and fly like bullet of slingshot and who know one where it attached it self again well. Haze tree is one species of tree with soothing smell using it as incense give you wonderful mana practice much more using it as ingredient. mana stream stone is not a plant but its rare material, its mana stone look like Diamonds which more fragile but harder than regular stone, it doesn't have many practical use as digestion of it can make you golem, using it as weapon makes you laughing stokes because it's like drunk warrior and his or her weapon is beer bottles, but using it as gourmet plate is one of most practical use of it, mana stream stone is like volcano of planet with much less dangerous the excess mana of planet flow to stone and steam it to the world so using it as plate is like adding rocket fuel into food

"I will teach you the main dish of forest series, the Sizzling forest steak" I said while I make some cut into back part of rabbit, it's has 90% meat and 10 fat, and by using novice magic circle with command of control so the hidden plate float using pure mana, flame to ignate flame and ignition control to monitor the flame heat

"in cooking of this dish 1st and most important thing you need to remember is heat control because meat of golden bunny is too tender moreover its cured by Ingremida essence, did I tell you that the essence of Ingremida is tasteless and ordorless but I use it as curing purposes it because it can retain the mana of any meat with our affecting the flavor or aroma" I was lecturing while looking at them and my hands is above the floating plates then I add the stir fry mushrooms with its oil in each plate, like withered plant that taste sweet rain the dryed mushroom bloom again because of Ash affinity on light, it revive the mushrooms but unfortunately it cooked next he place big slice of meat on plate

*sizzle*

"preparing the sizzling forest steak need balance to light flavor of soup I teach you last time, so it need heavy flavor but the meat of golden bunny is tender and not meaty enough correct? But you can't add many seasoning because you will ruined the meat flavor instead, so the maybells nut is solution to its problem but using only it can't solve the problem in aroma you need to add the dried Ingremida then some natural seasoning and let it cook. The sizzling forest steak is best to serve in half cook to retain it freshness flavor but also well done to have heavy grease flavor" I end my lecture and let them ask the question
