"Forget everything?" The three young magi glanced at each other in confusion.

Adam nodded. "Just do as I say."

"Yes, Professor!" Art, Aiden, and Eleniey nodded their heads vigorously.

Adam gently guided them. "Now sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes."

After the students had taken their seats on the ground in a lotus position, Adam continued. "Now I want you to count from 100 to 0. If a random thought interrupts your countdown, I want you to start from 100 once again."

"That's it?" Art opened his eyes and asked.

"Heh," Adam smirked. "I assure you, it sounds simple but it is extremely difficult."

Aiden chuckled, "Hehe, this is nothing, Professor."
