C24- Basic principles

.

After yesterday's conversation, my mother informed me about my new class schedule, the only change of which was the addition of new classes. In this case, it looked like this:

Morning: Physical exercises, meditation and principles behind awakening.

Afternoon: language and literature.

Night: etiquette, history and logic.

I know, it seems complicated, right? But it is not. Physical exercise basically refers to Yoga. Meditation is self-explanatory as is "Principles Behind Awakening". Language is the most complicated thing since I have to learn the language of several races. The rest is self-explanatory. In fact the only additions were meditation, history and principles behind awakening or, as I like to short it, awakening class.

I'm currently heading to meditation class. What is surprising is that it will be my father who will teach me since apparently he is the most qualified.

Arriving in the classroom, the first thing I notice is the relaxation of my body. Wow, I hadn't noticed how tense it is. It's actually strange. I feel relaxed but at the same time I feel more vigorous. Strange....

"You noticed, right?"

Taking me out of my thoughts was my father's voice. Looking around, the room is quite empty. No sofas or anything like that. Completely white, with just a platform in the center.

"Yes. I feel...Better." I replied to my father as he walked towards him.

"Don't worry, this is normal. This room was designed especially for meditation. The mana concentration is much higher than outside and can be adjusted to make the mana even denser. Not to mention there are several magic circles that relax the mind and help you concentrate better. Now come, sit here." My father said, pointing to a cushion in front of him. Wow, I've never seen him with a serious face. Wow, he always seems like such a jerk.

Anyway, I walked over and sat down.

"Let's begin. All this time, you've been using the most basic and primitive meditation there is. How long did it take you to feel the mana?"

Sitting in front of me, my father questioned me. Wow, he really looks like a teacher.

"Well...I'm not sure. I remember I always felt like I was attracting something from the moment I tried to meditate. But I'm not sure."

Hearing Alvis' voice, Julius stopped for a moment. 'Hm...that means your mana affinity is natural. Great!' Despite thinking this, he decided not to tell Alvis. After all, affinity is not everything. If your full awakening indicates mediocre talent, then your affinity makes no difference.

"I understand. First of all...why did you decide to meditate? I mean...what motivated you? After all, no one told you about the awakened and mana." Julius decided to ask him a question that his wife had stopped him from doing for months. I mean, his answer is essential. If someone spoke to you, it means they disobeyed orders. Therefore....the culprit must be punished!

"Ah..that...you see. I figured it out."

Pausing for a moment, Julius watched Alvis take a deep breath. He smiled seeing that.

'Hm....he's not lying. Interesting.' He thought.

"When Mom showed me magic, I was intrigued by it. I wanted to know more but none of you gave me the answer and didn't even allow me to look for it. So I started thinking. 'How did she do that?' But no matter what I thought, I couldn't find an answer. Until I realized something. You. I mean, you are my parents. And parents are the ones who brought me into this world. Therefore, you are my origin. This must apply to magic. The magic must have some origin. Since she did that to her own body, I tried to do the same but I couldn't. But I didn't give up. I tried to feel my body. Until something strange happened. I felt my mind plunge into a kind of trance and I felt something being attracted to my body. And that's when I started meditating every day. Even though I didn't feel the same thing afterwards, I still felt something entering me."

Hearing Alvis' response, Julius realized that 90% of what he said is true. But it didn't matter, he had already gotten the answer he wanted.

'I understand. If he deduced all of this then it means that his intelligence is even greater than we imagine. This is worrying. His lineage has well awakened yet. When she wakes up....*sigh* probably...'

Leaving his thoughts aside, Julius decided to teach him about a more advanced meditation method.

"Well, let's start the class. You see, before I teach you about meditation, you first need to know what it is for. Meditating is attracting mana into the body and strengthening it. As your body becomes stronger, you You need more complex methods of meditation. Since your body will require more mana and more purity. But that's for the future. Right now, your body just needs to accumulate mana and strengthen it. You don't need to see or feel it. Just suck in the manna.

Therefore, I will teach you the most effective method for this: the airless meditation.

What you will do is breathe deeply and quickly 60 times. Then, you must hold your breath for 10 seconds. And then do it again, only instead of 60, you breathe 50 times. And hold for 20 seconds. And it will continue like this. Decreasing the number of breaths and increasing the inspiration time. Try."

After saying that, Julius watched as Alvis nodded and closed his eyes as he began to meditate.
