C25 - Basic principles part2

.

*argh....argh...*

Quick breaths.

Reminds a person with asthma or wheezing.

This is the sound that spreads throughout the room.

If we look at the origin, we notice two silhouettes. That of an adult man and that of a child. Do not wait. Looks like a big baby. Anyway, as you might be thinking, this is Alvis and Julius.

Right now Alvis is practicing breathless meditation. A method of meditation in which the objective is to accumulate mana more effectively and accelerate the transformation of the body. To do this, mana is accumulated in the lungs and the heart accelerates. The racing heart drives more blood through the body with the aim of bringing oxygen to all parts of the body.

With mana in her lungs, she ends up going along. Breathless meditation forces circulation and breathing accumulates a lot of mana in the body. Thus, the heart is stressed to the limit. Therefore, there is a limit to how long someone can meditate per day. Otherwise, a heart attack is the lesser of two evils. Clots, failures, swelling and other problems can arise. Despite this, the mana in the body allows a person to become accustomed to the mana and increases their sensitivity to it. Not to mention the obvious: it drastically reduces the time needed to form your mana heart. Despite all the benefits, only those with enough monetary power can use breathless meditation. Without resources rich in protein and mana, using this method is suicide as the heart will wear out quickly, drastically reducing lifespan and causing other problems. Therefore, several resources that strengthen the body and eliminate fatigue are essential, resources that only families with enough power and influence can afford.

Of course, none of this is a problem for rich families, great nobles and Kings. As for Elite families? They have even rarer and more precise resources.

And the Potens family stands out even among other Elites.

Like a rhythmic drumbeat. Or perhaps like the roar of an engine. Whatever the best description, I hear my heart beating so fast. Every time I breathe, every time I hold my breath. I feel him speeding up even more. Is weird. I should feel suffocated but no...all I feel is boundless pleasure and euphoria. It's like having an orgasm or trying delicious food. And in the midst of it all, I find myself in a sea of stars. Do not wait. Lights. Thousands of points of lights. I think it's the sister. I feel like I'm floating, sailing through this sea of lights. And all of them entering my body. So this is meditating...?

Since my awakening I had not meditated once. Has something changed?

I should look at my status....

Yes, as soon as I have time I will evaluate my status.

'Alvis...'

? Did anyone call me?

'ALvis...'

Again...who's there?

"ALVIS!"

*fssssss*

Breathing quickly, I feel as if my lungs are full of water.

"Welcome back. How was it? You're surprised, right? It's okay. In my first meditation after awakening I was also fascinated. Seeing all those mana particles is crazy. A truly unforgettable experience."

Hearing my father's voice, I finally came to my senses.

"Will this happen every time I meditate?" I asked. I mean, I was curious. Will I see sis every time? And that feeling of suffocation?

"Regarding mana? Well, yes. You will see. In time, you will also see and feel mana even if you don't meditate. But that's for the future. And as for the feeling of suffocation, that was my fault. See , breathless meditation is self-explanatory. If you don't know when to stop, you could kill yourself without even noticing. So, don't meditate without my supervision. In the next classes, you will learn how to meditate without going into a trance. You need to be in control. This and the previous meditations you have practiced are what we call deep meditation. You will learn to meditate without going into a trance."

Pausing for a moment, my father removed several foods from...a ring? Will...will it be...don't tell me...hahahahha

IS THIS THE FAMOUS SPACE RING CLICH?????

*fsss*

Taking a deep breath, I asked him

"Dad, where did you get that from? Is it magic?"

"Ah, yes. Do you see that ring?" Pointing to a black ring on his finger, I watched my father remove a table and chairs.

"This is an enchanted ring. Basically, I have a huge space inside it."

You knew! A cliché!

But it does not matter.

"So...when can I have one?"

I asked with the cutest eyes I can make.

"When you have a full awakening."

Hmm? Full awakening? what did he mean with this? Am I not already an Awakened?

Watching the confusion on his son's face, Julius couldn't help but smile.

"You will learn this in your Basic Principles class wake up or something. Anyway, an awakening has 2 phases. The first is the circulation of mana throughout the body and the second is when your mana heart is formed. When this happens, your consciousness will strengthen enormously, allowing you to withdraw mana from your body. So if you want a space ring, you better create your mana heart soon." Julius said with a teasing smile.

"Now, enough talking and come eat. Remember: every time you meditate, you need to eat foods rich in mana and nutrients and invigorating. Unless you want to die."

Watching his son eat, Julius began to replay the experience of the last 10 minutes....
