Chapter 4 - Meeting Ning’er

It has now been 2 months since his memories has awakened and he has completely adjusted to the life he is now living. Not much has happened in these 2 months. The lifestyle at the orphanage is fairly routine. Wake up in the morning, take a bath, then help the matrons around in different chores. After that he is given some time to play around and socialize with other children. Not that he does so. With his cold demeanor and reluctance to play around with children he was quickly singled out as unapproachable and was therefore left to his own devices. After playing around they are quickly called back and then taught by the Matron taking care of them and then once again sent out to play. They are then called back and after taking care of some chores, are served dinner after which they are sent to prepare for the night and quickly told to sleep. This has been fairly routine. Due to his genius comprehension, Daniel has already learned up to to the average of 12 years of age of knowledge. But he is lacking in the knowledge of spirits and cultivation. That is due to the lack of knowledge available outside of the academies. Thankfully all this knowledge can be covered with his second wish. Due to this he has quite a lot of free time during the lectures and the playtime.

He has not been lazing around with all his free time. Instead he has been spending all this time trying to develop his cultivation techniques that he will be using when the time comes for him to cultivate. He has a large pool of techniques to choose from due to his second wish. It has not been fun but he realizes that it is important for him to develop suitable techniques. The immortal realm has been especially helpful in the development of techniques. He can check the techniques in the immortal realm and be safe of the dangers of the techniques. He has already developed the mental cultivation technique he will be using and started practicing it. He calls it the Minds Eye of Divine Entertainment. He named it such as a reference to his situation. This technique has a passive and active effect. At its strongest, it can be used to sense up to thousands of kilometers with pin point accuracy and also develop a domain where the users range will be restricted but the quality of the minds eye will be boosted up to 500% the normal. It can also be used to sense the spirit energy and affinities that a person may have. It can also determine the emotions of a person thus making it impossible to lie to the user of the technique. The only reason that he was able to develop this technique was because he had a large pool of techniques to take from and combine to form the technique.

The reason that he had developed the mental cultivation technique first was because of the welcome surprise that he found in the skills he inherited from Kiritsugu. The surprise being 2 techniques, Parallel thought and thought acceleration. He had not anticipated Kiritsugu knowing these 2 techniques. Because of these 2 techniques that are mainly a mental art, Daniel decided to complete the set by developing a mental technique.

Next he will develop a body cultivation art and he already has an idea about the technique he wanted to develop. The only clue he will give is that this technique is based on the Forbidden 8 Gates technique from Naruto.

When he woke up today he was sure that it will not be any different from the other days. But then he was called for help by the matron. Turns out there was another knew child left in front of the orphanage and she had chosen to receive his help in hopes that he would open up. He was only planning to only do the absolute necessary in helping out but suddenly when he used his minds eye. He was surprised when he sensed a relatively large source of energy apart from himself. He focused in on this source and was surprised to discover that it was the baby he was supposed to care for. This changed his mind and he decided to put some time in taking care of the baby. After all the baby could grow to become a remarkable asset in the future. With the amount of spirit energy it has, it will most likely have at least 8 spirit rank in the spirit awakening. He decided that he had wasted enough time and went to greet the matron.

"Little Daniel, look here is Ning'er. You will be helping me take care of her. She is very small now so she will be asking for your help a lot."

"So her name is Ning'er. And of course I will help you in taking care of her."

"Yes her name is Ning'er, Xiao Ning'er. And I am very happy that you have agreed to help me take care of her and have opened up a bit." The matron replied happy that Daniel was opening up. But she did not know that it was just him acting so that he can be closer to watch the development of Xiao Ning'er.

"Of course. Thank you, it is all thanks to you and the other in the orphanage. I will take care of her in the future. She will be the sister I never had." Daniel says while thinking of his future plans.
