Time passed away in a blink and it was now time for Sage Chanakya's training.
Ashoka who rested enough in break started to stride towards their usual training spot.
As Sage Chanakya who was the prime minister and also the master of the Tower of Wisdom was incredibly busy, he could only spend an hour on Ashoka's training every day but even that was considered as extreme leverage.
But apparently, Ashoka was not so happy about the training...
Sage Chanakya's training was… pure drudgery, even for a training maniac like Ashoka.
'Even princes and apprentice mages who envy me for receiving his guidance would immediately change their minds if they were in my shoes.'
Ashoka smiled bitterly in his heart before looking up at Sage Chanakya.
"My dearest apprentice."
"Yes, Master?"
"Today's training will be the same as yesterday."

"Yes, Master?"
"Today's training will be the same as yesterday."
"I am aware."
"But you will have to change your approach and methods every day during this repetitive training."
"Yes."
Sage Chanakya walked towards Ashoka and closed his eyes. Ashoka copied her and also closed his.
Then, the same line he had heard over and over during the past month resounded.
"See that which is invisible to the eyes, hear that which is unhearable to the ears, sense that which is untouchable, smell that which is oderless and taste that which is non-existent…"
This was the boring in question.
Sage Chanakya's lessons weren't methodical, intuitive, and physically painful like the knight's lessons.
It was always about… Something he couldn't do!
"See that which is invisible to the eyes, hear that which is unhearable to the ears, sense that which is untouchable, smell that which is oderless and taste that which is non-existent…"
He would just repeat that.
'This is driving me crazy.'
Ashoka had often heard the 8-star and above knights mention the 'Ethereal realm'.
But normally speaking, one would start training the 'Ethereal realm' after reaching the 7-star stage. And it wouldn't be through silent lessons like this, but… by trying to scatter aura in all directions naturally.
It was something that everyone was aware of but the current training method was very different that what the general people spoke of.
'Why doesn't the Sage do or say anything else? He always stands still, telling me to feel something I can't possibly.'
Ashoka was questioning if it even had any meaning in the first place.
He had never heard of a training like this.
'As I thought, maybe Sage Sage Chanakya is going crazy due to old-age, is he nearing his...'
"I assure you that I wouldn't die anywhere in the near future"
Sage Chanakya spoke as if he had read his mind.
"Heik..!"
"For normal people, these all may feel pointless, but you are not normal Ashoka"
Ashoka didn't know what Sage Chanakya mean by that but he also agreed with that fact.
Leaving aside his identity as a prince, Ashoka was a reincarnator who was reborn into this world with his memory, he was anything but normal.
" Etheral realm or more commonly known as the Mental world, one would obtain the power to implement their mental imaginations in the real world when they achieve it"
Impleimenting thoughts into reality?
Just the concept itself was crazy!
"But obliviously there are limitations to that as an individual can't imagine what he hasn't experienced"
Of course, the human had a limited life span and the things they could experience in this short time was even shorter, so Ashoka could agree with that fact easily.
"The training we are doing now, it will all become a solid foundation for your mental world, your imagination must reach a level where your enemies could not keep up with your thoughts or they could predict your thoughts and to do that you must reach a level where you can imagine something that doesn't exist"
"You must see that which is invisible to the eyes, hear that which is unhearable to the ears, sense that which is untouchable, smell that which is odorless, and taste that which is non-existent…"
It made no sense to Ashoka who not to mention the Etheral realm but haven't even reached a level where he could glimpse of it, he nevertheless obeyed his master's guidance and kept his eyes closed.
Not because he had that much enthusiasm but knew his very stubborn personality.
Moreover, he was widely known as the strongest in the whole Mauryan empire and it wouldn't seem right to deny an individual like him.
'I'm sure the day will come when I finally understand master's guidance.'
Even though Ashoka couldn't understand any of it now, he was sure that there would come a day when he would be able to implement all his teachings.
The insights from the 9th-star mage were very far too rare and important, Ashoka didn't know if could get any guidance like this in the future so he would try his best to learn as many things as possible even though he was questioning if Sage Chanakya was in his right mind.
'I heard that all the strong people would have some screw lose...maybe that was true...'
The two of them stood facing each other, eyes closed, until evening came.
Once their lesson ended, Ashoka wore a refreshing smile not sure why, but was complimented by Sage Chanakya for it.
"You did good today. You can head back now, my dear apprentice."
Ashoka had absolutely no idea what he had done well, but he could only nod to his statement.
Ashoka began walking away and Sage Chanakya pondered as she watched his back.
'The incredible concentration he shows when he closes his eyes, and the tenacity to maintain that posture for several hours… With Ashoka's potential, he should realize it within a few years. Keep growing like this, Ashoka...The Great Mauryan is waiting....'
Ashoka who wasn't aware of her thoughts wore a satisfied smile and walked away.
'The incredible concentration he shows when he closes his eyes, and the tenacity to maintain that posture for several hours… With Ashoka's potential, he
