The Seventh Sense

Cian has the habit of using a note. It was a magic diary his mother bought when he was little. It used to be very small as its dimensions are half a foot height and half of its height as its width and having a little thickness. He always carried it with him and wrote anything he felt to be important.

Cian wrote everything the blind old man who claimed to be an earth bender told him about how he walks without his eyes. It's been a month since he met the old man and reunited with his mother.

Little did he know his mother was watching what her son is doing.

"It's been a month I've been practicing this technique but ...." he told himself with a deep sigh.

For a month Cian is been trying to figure out the technique that the old man used. Upon each failed attempt, he used to come up with a new solution, and now he is almost dressed up as the old man.

He wore a fully torn robe with a worn belt and stood without shoes.

"What's wrong with me everything seems to be fine but why am I lacking the capability to see things. I wonder how it will be without seeing through eyes" suddenly something strokes his mind.

"ooh my god, oh my god, how can I not think about this, how come I am so dumb?" as he was screaming in excitement he took a piece of cloth and covered his eyes.

"Yes, yes it must be, this time I may succeed"

When he closed his eyes and concentrated he felt like something flow out from his body as he was covered in sweat and the sweat is flowing from his body to the ground. But when he touched his body he wasn't covered in sweat.

A few meters away a woman who was watching this entire thing was confused at the action of this boy. It's madam Lin she found it strange that her son is looking like he was allergic to something. Of course, she misunderstood Cian was trying to figure out what was going on and from where did that amount of sweat come from?

Madam Lin used her purple gaze technique to see whats going on with him. The purple gaze technique is a technique that is cultivated through the ultraviolet rays of the sun to use to penetration strength of the ray to see through the things.

As she used the technique her pupil had a purple ring around it. She was astonished when she saw Cian would pour out his spirit essence as he liked.

The sweat that covered and flowed through Cian's body is the spiritual essence. But he never knew it.

Now Cian could sense something like a hard and big particle blocking his way. Yes, Cian tried to walk around a bit, and once he had a sense of something big and bulky. Now he remembered it was the huge tree in the yard. He was very happy and jumping up and down blindfolded. 

Suddenly he felt something near his right leg but his reaction speed was too slow that he tripped out.

Upon seeing that his mother rushed him to help. She didn't remove his blindfold because she knew the determination of his son to master this technique. She did her part of caring her blind son for six months.

After six months Cian is very responsive to any sound even a faint one and even a small step of a mouse can alert him because the sense of presence, smell and hearing was vastly improved in the six months.

Sense of presence is the name given by him to the skill which he learned from the blind old man.

When he became familiar with the sense of presence he used to switch between being blindfolded and not being blindfolded. Since he was struggling to inherit the sense of presence while he was not blindfolded his mother proposed that he could switch between being blindfolded and not blindfolded so his body would adapt to both the senses of vision and presence at the same time.

Cian spends another six months switching between being blindfolded and not blindfolded as a result he learned another version of this technique. When spirit energy is poured into the ground at the same time the soul energy is dissolved into the air and this is called the aura. When Cian sensed the aura in his body would cover his whole body he did had a silly idea and now he used the same method but with the soul energy and could tell if an enemy is throwing an attack on him. If something gets near less than six inches from his body he would be alerted. But the problem is he could not use both techniques at the same time.

It took time for Cian to switch between spirit and soul.

This one year the young man was in the care of his mother. She saw his determination and hard work even if he couldn't be a mage or knight which had no potential to select one.

When Cian was born the Lin family was nearly deserted because of the war and drought. The family couldn't even provide good food for him up to his age turned three. That's when the war for resources ended because of heavy rain for ten days straight. Drought became a heavy flood and nature pour its judgment over the sinister and killed many of them. Thus no one gained anything this period of peace arrived.

As a result, his body was very weak. The first five years of nutrients getting into the body of a child decide the child is in good health or not. In Cian's case 'not'. So, had no strength to hold on to a spear which is three to five kilos, he couldn't wield a sword that weighs over two kilos, to put it simply Cian couldn't even able to resist a round of sparring with these weapons because he had no physical strength.

As a mage of gold level madam Lin could see through everything that his son. Even though he is lame she never blamed him for being weak. When he was mocked by the other members of his clan when he was young his mother would hug him and kiss him and say

"you are strong enough for me to hold you and kiss you"

 After a year of practicing the sense of presence, Cian was able to adapt both his sense of vision and sense of presence. Sense of presence kinda became his seventh sense. Now he went to create a water bubble and this time it didn't go well.

His mother shouted, "Are you crazy ?????"
