Their days continued like so, from one exercise to another, from morning to night. Physical training drains them of their vitality and some mental energy, while Spiritual training drains them of their mental energy and some vitality. When done one after the other, it leaves the body lacking and at its limits. This will encourage it to find a more efficient means of metabolism that can cater to its needs. Something like mana for example. In more ways than one, the exercise regimens push the cells to adapt to mana so that trainees without a bloodline to help them will be able to break through to become mana entities on their own.
Soverick took the training seriously. He was fundamentally different from the prissy high elves but he had to admit that their means of training is much more efficient than what the battle sage can do. The high elves use a combination of life manipulation, mana manipulation, body control, and heavy exercise to achieve physical superiority. A lazy person will always look for an easier way to achieve something and the high elves succeeded in finding an easier way to physical exercise.
Being raised on life essence makes their cell activity and vitality beyond compare. Only dragons can compare but that's just in vitality capacity not in cell activity. The dragons can heal a lot more damage while the high elves can heal damage a lot faster. The high elves are also blessed with the highest innate mana affinity and manipulation ability. What they do is perform physical exercise that brings the body to its limit quickly, destroying lacking cells within weak muscles and reinforcing strong ones with mana. They heal the damage done with their incredible vitality. Their approach achieves faster cell adaptation and strengthening, in short, they become stronger faster without prolonged physical labor.
Muscle cells grow stronger by healing injuries done to muscle fibers during physical exercise. The shortcut of the high elves performs this manually but it needs incredible vitality and mana control skills. It is not something that the battle sage monkeys are capable of achieving at their stage. Only transcendents are capable of such a feat but they don't bother with it because they can easily transform energy into muscle mass. As long as they have Origin energy they can become physically strong as they want. The mind must be capable of holding the body together but it is still faster than physical training.
Soverick took the training seriously, maybe a little too seriously. He battered his body and reworked mana into them every day. For the elf's training to work, the entire muscles in a muscle group must be dealt with together. He used weights beyond his limit to cause a quick burst of damage which he healed. To bystanders, he looked as if he wasn't taking the training seriously. They will see him struggle with an exercise, then he will sit down and meditate. That's all he did but they noticed he was moving on to more difficult exercises and heavier weights. He was still struggling with it but he was making progress.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ The spiritual training on the other hand could not pose any sort of challenge to the mind of an Origin god. Only the physical training pushed him to the limits of his lacking body, but that too was easily overcome through the use of the muscle development shortcut. He blazed through the spiritual preparatory stage in a month. The AI continued to increase the difficulty, it passed the normal stage until it reached the limit of what was acceptable in its programming. Soverick was able to split his mind into 10 parts simultaneously, create 10 threads with each mind and manipulate the threads through the obstacle course in less than 30 seconds. The normal difficulty is 5 mind splits. It was something that took people years to achieve but it was just a simple matter to Soverick.
The physical preparatory stage was also completed in 3 months. His body had a lot of potential because of his immense vitality. The various exercises and his life technique pushed his potential to its limit of raw capability. He was soon able to reach a top speed of 120m/s and a steady speed of 90m/s. His initial burst of acceleration reached 30m/s/s and can be sustained for 4 seconds. His top record for acceleration reached 40m/s/s. His punching power was almost 1,500kg and he could lift the same amount. He had reached the limit of what his body could achieve without special skills.
His progress was unprecedented but the AI permitted him to move on regardless, but it decided to highlight the event and report the achievement to the necessary authorities. He had broken the record for the fastest time to finish the preparatory stage after all. The last person spent 1 year for the physical training record while the record for spiritual training is 1 and a half years which was created by a different person. He broke both records with a wide margin too.
The AI would have been shocked if it was capable of emotions. It would have been shocked to realize that there was a file in the system about Soverick that it didn't know about with a high priority. It seemed some very powerful people were interested in Soverick's performance and capabilities. The information contained within the file provided enough proof to validate his new record.
The process of validating a record is not a strict procedure. The academy is a family business after all. They know each other's information. It is easy to find out when one is born if you are part of the family. It was accepted that there was no way a year-old boy will cheat the system. It is even more ridiculous than the thought of a mana entity destroying the academy. So the record stands.
In a room within a secured location within the academy.
It is called a room within the academy but it is really a small world. The world is filled with plants and flowers of all kinds and colors. There is a large tree at the center of the small world with spotted leaves. The spots are pink in color while the leaves are purple.
A small fist-sized battle sage monkey is sleeping on a leaf of this tree and snoring loudly. The battle sage monkey looks like a fairy, tiny with multicolored wings. The tree's leaves seem gigantic when compared to its sleeping occupant. The snoring sound of the battle sage monkey is making is so pleasant that the plants are drooping as if they are sleeping.
The entire forest is quiet except for the snoring sound of the fairy. It is because all the living things in this small world capable of making sounds have all died in their sleep. This entire forest does not contain a single animal, they fell asleep and then die in their sleep. Only plants are capable of living in such a "blissful" environment and this is because these plants are capable of photosynthesis even in their sleep. Animals have to wake up and eat sometimes.
This is the office of the director of the department of education and training of the Ghastorix family. It is the most secure place in the battle academy. It is not secure so that someone wouldn't break in. It is secure so that her voice or any of her powers will not leak out. Sound waves might seem very easy to isolate but the sound she makes infects her very surroundings like a disease that seeks to spread throughout all of existence. Even space can be contaminated if given enough time.
The small world is in fact another dimension with its point of contact anchored to the Virut plane. She is not actually in the plane at all but in the void between planes. Then the space between them is scrambled occasionally with void energy. A simple spatial enchantment is much too loose to isolate her powers. Her powers will corrode the spatial enchantments and spread to the space beyond it. This entire small world is a prison used to contain an unruly power.
There's a small table woven out of tiny green wood fibers and a small fitting chair with higher silk to other materials content than what is possible for a chair but her small weight makes the lacking frame support work. The table and chair are placed a short distance away from the equally tiny bed that the fairy is sleeping on. A pink apparition that looks like the director is hard at work at the table.
The apparition is made out of some of the fairy's soul force and will. It is a sort of clone that will make the same decisions that she would make. There might be some deviation due to probability but they think exactly alike, so it is a perfect substitute for her, it does her administrative work for her. The will clone is created using her powers over the mind and illusions to manifest her thoughts.
So it is this apparition that first got to know about Soverick's new record. But it was another thing about Soverick that made it focus on him.
