After reading the update of his skill, Lu Ciel felt that morning was indeed good. After checking his skills, he got up and take off his clothes and dive right in on the small pond. The small pond was only slightly bigger than the usual jacuzzi pool, however, its depth was more than twenty feet.
Lu Ciel let himself sink over as he was feeling the morning water which was fresher than ever. As he was sinking at the bottom, he thought about his previous life and how the life of the previous Lu Ciel's had been. Comparing the two different settings of life, he still realized that there's not much of a difference.
As Lu Ciel was about to reach the bottom, the fishes started nibbling on his naked body which cleansed him as dirt and dead skin on his body being eaten away. The receptionist mentioned this to him where the pond could clean himself up in this kind of method.
Lu Ciel stayed at the bottom of the small pond as the fishes continued to nibble away the negativities on him. After staying for seconds, when his about to ran out of breath and with renewed realizations, he still can't believe that he was transported or reincarnated to another world. However, even though things happened unexpectedly, pushed himself up with his feet on the ground as he decided to go with the flow with what will be of his current life from now on and see things through that this unexpected life will brought to him.
Splash!
"Haaaa..!" Resurfacing on the pond, Lu Ciel sucked a mouthful of fresh air right away. He got out and took a towel that was laid on a table at the corner of the training room, and donned a new set of clothes that was in his
As he was about to finish wearing his new clothes, his
"Happy birthday, Lu Ciel." An elegant woman with a long hair that was silky black just like the night sky greeted the very young Lu Ciel. As the elegant woman lowered herself to match the very young Lu Ciel's height, he saw the full bangs that fell down evenly on her slender yet thick eyebrows, displaying the deep blue eyes that looked like the ocean itself. The elegant woman's beauty was otherworldly.
"Mommy!" The very young Lu Ciel was very happy seeing the otherworldly woman's face as he hugged right away her head. The woman chuckled on his son's reaction endearingly. After hugging, the woman sweetly kissed Lu Ciel and smiled as she said, "This is my gift for you." She presented a blue book.
"Thank you, mommy!" The three years old Lu Ciel happily received the book right away. As he looked at it woth his sparkling eyes, his expression became confused. "Mommy, why can't I read this?"
The woman chuckled seeing how the expression that his child making was so adorable. "That's because you can only read it once you've grown up, my dear baby boy."
The woman continued as she softly pinched Lu Ciel's cheeks. "Keep it very safe until you're able to learn its content one day, okay?"
"Yes, mommy!" Lu Ciel eagerly nodded as he held the book tighter and closer to him. "I promise."
"Good boy!" The woman praised as he ruffled Lu Ciel's hair.

As the flashback ended after taking out the book from the
"Eh?" Lu Ciel wiped the welling tears om his eyes as he looked at the book.
LU VIEL'S MAGIC

Lu Ciel willed to open the blue book and a new long hexagonal window popped up providing a new information.
Table of Contents
{Chapter 1: Water Manipulation Skill}
{Chapter 2: LOCKED}
{Chapter 3: LOCKED}
{Chapter 4: Dark Manipulation Skill}
{Chapter 5: LOCKED}
{Chapter 6: LOCKED}
Reading the information provided by the system window, Lu Ciel's eyes brightened. To think that the book that his mother gave to him contains a collection of skill that he can learnt. This made him held the book tighter and embrace it closer just like what he did from the first time he recieved it from his mother.
Lu Ciel was not able to stop the tears from silently falling anymore. He felt the love of the mother to his child. He misses his own mother now as well, but there's nothing that he can do about it anymore as he is now living in a different world.
After a moment of his silently falling tears, Lu Ciel opened the blue book that was given to his mother once more and learned the water and dark manipulation skills. The gloomy aura that surrounded him disappeared as motivation started to radiate in his eyes and on his body.
"And here I thought I'll be bored from the repeatitive training which only gives stagnant fruits." Lu Ciel's started to become active as a plan formulated on his mind. However, as he was about to act on his formulated plan, his big fatty stomach started to growl. Thus made him abruptly stopped and smiled wryly. "I guess, I'll have to eat first."
As Lu Ciel walked down to the cafeteria, he looked at his fatty physique. This body is already obyss. He remembered that the previous Lu Ciel intended for his body to become fat and will only start to work it out once he has gotten himself a hunter license. This was actually a bet against himself, to make it as sort of motivation. And right now, the new Lu Ciel was the one who will suffer on fixing this body, and the only thing he can do is sigh about it.
After getting some food in the Cafeteria, Lu Ciel went straight back to the training room. He only ate his food in the training as the cafeteria is crowded and some people were taking a glimpse at him. He doesn't want to be bothered and get into any incident or any unexpected events that will caught him and waste his limited time.
After eating, he went at the pond and started to practice his Water Manipulation Skill for more than straight two hours. Right after ending his skill training, he started to do some light work out.
The goal was to complete the Saitama workout; 100 pushups, 100 situps and 100 squats and 10 kilometers run. Each of these exercises were barely completed. In a small area, running is not workable, and as a fat pic, barely 10 pushups, situps and suqats were completed.
Lu Ciel was aggravated from the indignant feeling of sufferring. He was panting hard as his body was soaking wet in his own sweat and his mind began to feel woozy. He laid down on the mat not knowing that he eventually fell asleep from the fatigue. Despite the sun shone brightly, he only woke up by the time when the day was almost turning into dusk.
After waking up, Lu Ciel's stomache growled, asking for food again. He got annoyed by it. With that, he gritted his teeth as he ran to the flowing water on a bamboo faucet at the small pond, and gulped a large amount of water until his hunger was drowned.
Lu Ciel patted his water filled stomach in success as he motivated himself to work out. After an excruciating hour, he was able to complete 12 pushups, situps and squats without passing out. This was a great achievement for an obyss like him, and with that, it calls for a celebratory feast!
Cleaning himself up and going to the cafeteria to get some food once more, Lu Ciel went back to the training room right away.
After eating, it was already evening, and which he started to train his Dark Manipulation Skill. After ending the training for three hours, Lu Ciel slept like a log once more. This has been his life for two days.
