Chapter 138: Adonis’s first lesson

Chapter 138: Adonis's first lesson

The next day…

Viktor prepared everything inside his dimension room to start his job as a professor. He prepared a vast empty field in his dimension room as well for practical classes for Adonis. He was determined to teach his magic as soon as possible.

'It's almost time for his class. I should open the door for him.'

A door soon appeared inside his classroom and Adonis walked inside.

He bowed at him and said, "Good evening, master," politely and took his seat at the front desk. He looked around and saw more rows of long benches behind him so he again said, "You didn't have to go that far master. It's not like you're about to teach 100 students at a time. Moreover, what's up with that huge board?"

Viktor looked behind and saw the huge billboard-like board. "Oh, this? Because it's necessary for drawing complicated magic circles. I'm not even sure if it's going to fit or not. Anyway, welcome to my class as my first student."

Viktor created a book with magic and then created one as well on Adonis's desk. "I can't print out these books so I created them with my mana. You will only be able to read them when you're inside my dimension room. You're not allowed to speak or write anything about heaven-class magic outside. So make sure to memorize them."

"Yes, master."

"Then, let's start with the lessons. Open page 4. We'll start with the definition of Qi."

Qi, it's a supernatural energy known as Material Energy or Life Force or a person's body. Qi is similar to mana but there are differences between them.

Mana can be found in nature but there isn't a limitation to it as long as the planet is rotating. It's inside every living and non-living thing and it can be used as energy.

Qi, on the other hand, is also found in nature but non-lining things can't hold it. Qi exists inside living beings and it also increases life energy if it's cultivated. It can also increase if Qi pills or some substance that has growth Qi is present and reaches the peak of life.

The living beings that live below Heaven's gate realm don't have any Qi within their body. They are simply born that way and mana is their only source to accumulate energy. But it doesn't mean a normal manaless human can't cultivate. Anyone can cultivate it if they know how to make Qi ball inside their heart or brain.

"Master, this Qi you're talking about. Is this more powerful than mana that we usually use?"

"Good question. If we look through the term of density, Qi is far more powerful than mana. A human with Qi can cast more than 100 fireballs with 10 magic points. One point is about a small bowl of pure mana. The same amount of mana would only supply 20-30 fireballs. Qi is denser than mana but there's a problem here."

Viktor drew a huge circle and a small circle on the board and said, "A living body can hold this large amount of mana. It's the same as a 9th-class magician with a perfect health condition.

This small circle is the same amount of mana a higher-class cultivator can hold. But it's the same amount as a mana user based on how many magic spells he can cast."

"But master. Since they have the same amount of energy, who will win if they both fight?"

"Of course, a cultivator. Mana users waste too much time on casting spells. Moreover, spell-less magic costs way too much mana than spell magic. This problem leads a magician to waste mana just to save some time. But it's not like any human can visualize that level to master the spell-less magic. They need more field vision as guardians like us."

"Then…how can you compare your current power level with the gods"

Viktor erased the small circle beside the huge one and then took out chalk from the chalk holder. He carefully drew a small circle and said, "If the big circle is the power level of a god, I'm currently at this level.

"So it's never 0%, master."

"Yes. My chances of winning are only 40% through battle. That's because I'm a demi-god. If I were a normal guardian, thinking about that would've killed me a thousand times already."

"Through battle, you say. Is there any way that you can also use it to kill one?"

"Hm? There is though? Have you forgotten about my real identity? I'm the demi-god of living records now. I can wipe any god's existence with a swipe of my hand. But that would break so many balances of the universe and reality so I can't really do that."

I really do want to kill my other part but I can't because he carries half of my fragment and soul though-_-.

Viktor pointed his finger in the air and drew a golden magic circle. "This is the basic formation of Qi. This is a god-level technique so make sure to protect your mortal body with the highest protection magic you can cast. If you successfully draw the circle on your heart, the Qi ball will form and slowly make your body immortal. But don't forget, never put Qi ball and mana core together. They are like lime and milk. If they collide with each other, you will become rotten milk. Or should I say, you'll explode-_-?"

Adonis gulped a little and then said, "Please don't make fun of me in this serious situation, master-_-."

"I'm serious though?-_-."

"I..I'll be careful, master." A drop of sweat formed on his head.

He's trying his best. Well, this level of study is mainly for demigods who live in the heavenly realm. The goddess of light also received these lessons when she turned 15 million years old. Since demi-gods are immortal, they turn adult when they reach a billion years old and still they take their lesson to become a perfect god.

But Adonis is a demon and he had a life expectancy of 10,000 years. But since he lived among humans as a human for more than 17 years, his understanding of time also changed. If he continues to take lessons 2 hours a day daily, I believe he'll complete his lessons in just 4 thousand years.

Sometimes I wonder how those gods can be that lazy? Talking a billion years just to study 4 thousand years of lessons? Hah…

Viktor looked at Adonis and saw he was trying his best to memorize the complicated magic circle and form it in his heart. "Adonis, try using counterclockwise circles first. Then draw triangles at 60° from left to right to complete it without stopping. This Qi formation only takes a line to complete so try."

"I…I'm trying, master."

'I should help him. Shouldn't I?'

Viktor stood up and walked down to help Adonis. He stood in front of him and said, "Look at my finger. I will finish it with one line so concentrate."

Viktor made a circle at first and then started to make triangles one by one as if a pendulum was swinging side by side without any flaws. The golden mana lines in the air were so sparkling that Adonis became lost in his thoughts.

Tikk!!!

"Aww!!!"

"Why are you zoning out all of a sudden?" Viktor clicked Adonis's forehead with his finger to make him come back to his senses.

"I think I should dismiss the class today. I can feel your mental energy all drained out. We'll continue our lessons tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, master." And then, he fainted and slammed his head on the desk. He was so sleepy and exhausted that he fell asleep right after Viktor dismissed the class.

"Heheheh… it's been a while since I saw him sleeping unharmed. I better take him to his bed."

He carried Adonis on his shoulder and teleported into Adonis's room to put him down. The room was dazzled with lights so he shut them all and took off Adonis's shoes and the blue tie around his neck.

'I feel like I'm taking care of a little kid who fell asleep after school. Hm..he's a kid after all. A big 'Adult' kid.'

He covered his body with a soft blue blanket and put his phone on silent to keep him safe from any distractions.

"Sleep well. I'll put your phone on charge. See you tomorrow, my knight with golden wings."

He closed the door and left for his study room.

At that moment, Ifrit came inside his study room with a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Yo…"

Viktor looked at him while smoking his cigarette and asked "What brings you here at this hour?"

"I heard you were busy and just took your day off. So I bought the wine you made. Want a sip?"

"Pour a glass for me then. Let's take a seat on the sofa."

…

"Cheers…"

Clenkk….

"So, what did you do all day?" Viktor asked him and took his first sip with a round of smoke.

"Um, nothing. Just watched some random stuff on the internet. Looked over the two guardians. But something kept bothering me for the whole day."

"What.."

Ifrit finished his first glass in one gulp and poured another cup to drink. "Since you're my owner, it's a responsibility to keep you safe. If you die, I'll die too. So I looked around the house and those two freeloaders and found something suspicious. The male one, Rae Light. He's been meditating when you're not home so I tried to hear what he keeps thinking about. And strangely I found nothing. He's like an empty book."

"Oh, that's because he's concentrating on the stars. He's the guardian of the stars and moon after all."

Viktor smiled and spun his wine glass. "Don't worry. You don't have to suspect him for anything. He's a comrade after all."

"Hah..if you say so. Let's have another glass. The wine you make is magnificent. Let me have more bottles next week."

"Sure. Cheers."

"Cheers."

Viktor finished his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt inside the empty glass. He knew what exactly was going on with Rae but he kept it hidden from everyone. He was merely testing his abilities secretly on him.

'The-empty-mind technique. The term of thinking inside one's mind without thinking about it. It doesn't get recorded in my library records so Rae thought that he could hide from me.'

'Keep trying, lady-like fairy. I'll be ready to give you a big surprise in the end.'
