The Teacher

As the soul and spirit energy differ by nature as one is strong and the other one is abundant. But naturally, they are balanced into the energy-storing chamber or the energy sea. When there is an imbalance in the system the soul energy can be transmitted into the muscles as physical energy to form additional physical strength to nourish the body and they are called the knights. The spirit energy can be transmitted to the sea of consciousness which is the brain that forms and replenish the mental energy.

Both mages and knights have spirit, soul, physical and mental energy but for mages, the physical energy is used for maneuvering and soul for strengthening the spirit energy while spirit and mental energy unlock their abilities. The knights use it the opposite way they use the mental ability for thinking and spirit energy to replenish their soul energy while physical and soul energy to use their skills.

Knights depend on their physical strength, including physical training in small age. But for a mage, only he can practice after his mental stage is strong enough, which means they cannot practice at a young age they should be at least ten. Before training a mage would learn more to increase their knowledge thus improving their mental strength.

When madam Lin saw Lin Cian practicing a water bubble spell she was furious. She yelled at him

"Are you crazy? Do you know what is a mage? How can you do this behind my back? Do you think of me as your mother?"

As she said this she felt like she was betrayed. She went to a very cold state. She held her anger and her tears. She looked away from him. She didn't want her son to witness her cold face.

A mage should be trained with the proper guidance of a senior mage. Because when the mental energy of the mage is depleted there is a huge possibility for mental shock which causes them to become an idiot without senses. Thus the senior mage is responsible to check out his disciple's stats until the disciple is under the wing of the senior mage.

"I am sorry mother. I won't practice anymore" a gentle and pitiful voice heard.

Madam Lin turned her eye to the direction of the sound. She saw Cian kneeling. He tightened the grip of both hands in his clothes. He was grinding his teeth. Tears flowed from his eye. His head was bowed.

Cian felt like his hope was shattered. He knew it is dangerous. But he doesn't want to give up. He spoke in his embracing voice

"I am sorry mother"

Madam Lin wiped her tears and forcefully calmed herself.

Madam Lin cleared her throat, straightened her posture inhaled a deep breath then exhaled to calm her down,

'Lin Cian, my son did you ever listen to me?'

She thought about it and asked him

"Will you be my disciple"

Lin Cian was stumbled; He was shocked to see that his mother volunteered to guide him, he said to himself 'My goodness, I wasn't expecting that. I wouldn't have been surprised if she wanted to kill me, what should I say'

Upon seeing her son shocked and frozen, madam Lin asked Cian

"Am I not eligible to be your teacher?"

Tears flow from Cian's eyes he never expected this day to come. He couldn't express his joy. He nodded his head which meant yes.

Madam Lin wanted to spend more time with him. So she decided to be his teacher. She blamed herself for her son's failure in the attempt of awakening. She was in the war when Cian was in her womb. He couldn't get his nutrients because in the camp they didn't have supplies. She wanted to save others but she failed to save her son. She was so depressed when her son stopped to talk to her and address her as madam Lin. She didn't want her son to be worried. After all, no mother wanted her child to be worried.

Madam Lin said with a cold face "meet me at the library, tomorrow morning"

Lin Clan is a noble clan so they had a library in their mansion. The library is not very big it had nearly seven thousand books. Compared to other nobles of their status they had a small library. Lin clan became noble because the members of the Lin clan are anonymous and they only appear when the country is facing any threat. They never fought for the throne or title. They never served any royal families. They never interfered in political affairs between any royal family. Because of them serving the nation, the Lord of the Lin clan was given the nobility title of Marquis. But the lord of the Lin clan never accepted because he thought the title may involve him in political affairs. So to protect them from enemy nations and other royalties, the title Baron was given.

The next morning Lin Cian went to the library. He saw madam Lin waiting for him in the library. Cian said

"Mothe...Teacher, a very good morning"

"Teacher? "madam Lin said it with an unexpectation.

Lin Cian understood what she meant. He suddenly said

"Morning mother"

Once madam Lin heard this her cold face turned into a smiling face. She happily nodded her face and said "Parents are the first teachers and teachers are your next parent".

She asked her son to sit near her and gave him a book. The book looked like a diary. It is one and a half feet in length, one feet width and four inches thick. It looked like it has overwritten words, struck words and it looked like someone practiced writing. It never looked like it was purchased. He has read all the books in the library but he never had seen this book before. He has seen this handwriting, it belongs to his mother madam Li. While browsing through pages he never a page without strikes or overwritten words suddenly he turned to the last page before the cover. Lin never expected that. It had the words Bīngdòng zhī xīng. Lin Cian was stunned for a moment.
