World history.
Ace looked around his appartment, finding a bedroom, living room, kitchen, Training room, Experimenting room, e.t.c.
'How Luxurious'
Ace wondered to himself.
After looking around for a while, Ace felt tired, the sensing of his core had refreshed him to some degree, but the fatigue he had accumulated was just to much.
With his body laid across the soft fabric of the academy mattress, Ace slowly drifted off into sleep.
Tweet! Chirp! Tweet! Chirp!
The summer birds chirped loudly, in the wake of sun's rise filling the academy campus with a melodic tune.
"I didn't know Culmen city had birds."
Ace muttered in interest, while he was stretching his body, getting it rid of any fatigue that remained.
He went to the bathroom–with droopy eyes–to clean up for the day. He hadn't had his bath for two days, It was a miracle he didn't stink.
Ace brushed his teeth using the brand new toothbrush that he found in the bathroom cupboard.
Ace's hand moved back and forth, throughout the innermost parts to the inner most of his mouth, scrubbing It clean.
Revealing his pearly white teeth to himself in the mirror
Ace grinned.
"My teeth may be bright but my future is brighter"
After he finished brushing his teeth,
Ace went on to scrub his body clean of filth. After he finished having his bath he filled the bathub up with water and lay down in it. He had woke up early–Just after the day broke–There was still quite a while before the first morning class started.
And even if he was late they weren't teaching anything other than core sensing, so he had nothing to be afraid off.
'Speaking of core sensing can I sense my core here. . .'
Ace thought to himself, while playfully blowing bubbles in the water.
". . .Then that means I could have sensed it at any moment, during the past fifteen years." Ace mumbled to himself as he lifted the bottom half of his face from beneath the water.
He grumbled internally.
'Such a pity, I could have been a bestowed earlier? Sigh ~ what's done is done, no use crying over spilled milk, It's better to focus on the present'
Ace took a deep breath, then concentrated deeply on the location of his core; the brain.
He closed his eyes and started to breath slowly in a specific rhythm.
The warm embrace of the water slowly turning cold as time passed.
After a while.
Ace abruptly opened his eyes, Only this time his deep dark eyes were laced with purple light.
'Huh? Why was it so much harder to focus on my core this time '
'Does the class environment have something to do with it, come to think of it, It did feel easier to relax and concentrate on there, but I'll have to meditate there again to really make sure'
Ace stepped out of the bathtub, making the water within it shift and spill.
Ace turned around and faced the bathtub.
He stared at the water surface and a dark-haired naked man stared back, with purple light streaming off his eyes.
Ace looked thoughtfull at the sight.
Ace closed his eyes for a brief moment, before opening them with great force, concentrating on the water.
Purple light spilled out of his eyeballs, Making an invisible force desended onto the bathtub, bringing chaos to the previous orderly water, a myriad of things happened to the water, a whirlpool, violent ripples, e.t.c At some point it even floated six inches above the water surface. Ace only stopped when It threatened to spill.
The purple glow in Ace's eyes dimmed, as peace was restored to the water's surface.
Phew!
Ace took a deep breath.
'That was intense—and also exiting.'
Ace wondered as he exited the bathroom in a bathrobe.
'Is the force I just used the force called 'spirit' by the old man, It has to be, no other force fits the description'
"I wonder how much time I used to sense my core this time."
Ace said outloud to himself as he opened the living room's curtains.
"Oof" Ace exclaimed as the curtains parted.
"I took too long, It's almost sunset" Ace said in shock.
he ran to his bedroom, swiftly got off his bath robe and was about to wear his academy uniform, when he realised he didn't need to go to school today.
It was first week of the semester so they weren't teaching anything, and even if he went to class, all he would do was sense his core, so it was okay to 'homeschool' himself.
Mubling to himself if a half excited tone.
"And I've already done my school work by meditating, so it's free time for me, yay!"
After Ace convinced himself to remain at home. He ran towards the living room, holding the new laptop the old man had given him.
"Let's see what this baby can do"
Pushing the power button on the laptop, It lit up with blue light around the frame and made a loud noise upon it's start up.
Vroooom!
«_HELLO USER»
«_WELCOME TO C.M.B.P LAPTOPS»
«_ENTER USERNAME OR ID TO PROCEED»
Ace fumled around for his ID before he slotted it into the computer.
«_ID INSERTED»
«_WELCOME BESTOWED ACE»
«_WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A SHORT FILM ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BESTOWED?»
'Sure I have nothing to do anyways'
Ace clicked his answer.
«_YES»
«_HISTORY OF BESTOWED. . . .»
«_BY SERVIS CLAM.»
«_LONG AGO BEFORE BESTOWED WERE EVEN A THING, THERE WERE BILLIONS OF MUNDANE HUMANS LIVING IN A BLUE SPHERE, CALLED EARTH THAT TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 700BB.»
The laptop showed a planet like view of the earth, blue sphere with landmasses on it, With 700BB Hovering above it. Ace highlighted the BB part of the text, prompting a response from the laptop.
«_BB IS SHORT FOR BEFORE BESTOWAL, THE TIME PERIOD IN WHICH BESTOWED DIDN'T EXIST.»
The laptop resumed the film.
«_APPROXIMATLY 700 BB, THE WORLD STARTED EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE NATURAL DISASTERS, EARTHQUAKES, METEORS,E.T.C.
THE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON THAT PLANET, WERE CULLED UNTIL THE FITTEST ONES SURVIVED. AFTER 700 YEARS OF NATURAL SELECTION, THE FIRST HUMAN WITH A CORE WAS BORN, INDICATING THE START OF THE AB PERIOD»
"What" Ace yelled out in suprise
"This doesn't match up, how could humans survive those disastrous times, If they didn't have a core to use supernatural powers."
He highlighted the part about it in the film, but the information didn't pop up, showing things like;

«_HIGHER LEVEL PERMISSION REQUIRED»
