26 Becoming a Mentalis (1/2)

...

The next morning, Shin wake up on the usual time. Even though he got his sleep a little late because of Arthur and Leonard's pestering, he still need to do his morning practice if he don't want his strength to detoriate.

After all the is a saying in this world that 'If you slack on your training then you will never reach the apex of Martial-Art'.

After taking a shower, Shin directly go the forest garden not far from the hotel. He do three sets of foundation training to warm himself up, then he start practicing his Martial-Arts Skill after.

He train for two hours before going back to the hotel, for him to have his breakfast. After that he go straight back to the forest garden to start his Mentalism training.

”Base on what Alice have said, different person have a different kinds of way to start practicing their Mental Energy. It is because each person have different kinds of personality and have their own way of thinking. Maybe that is also why the 'Four Symbol Scripture' didn't mention about how to start practicing Mentalism.” said Shin while sitting in a lotus position on the small grass field at the forest garden.

Shin picked this place to train his Mentalism because from what Alice have said, environment is also important for the first entry on the Mentalism.

”In Mentalism, someone need to find their true self first, for them to know how they can start their own training.” muttered Shin to himself before closing his eyes and calming his mind. And then after few minutes he start entering Deep Meditation.

Even though there are different kinds of training method to train someone's Mental Energy, they still need to set their foot first in this kind of state for them to properly start practicing it.

After all Mentalism is different from Martial-Arts where everyone can have similar starting points and can start their training immediately. Because in Mentalism everyone are required to have their own entry points before they can start learning it.

Shin empty his mind and try to reverse the effect of his Deep Meditation. Instead of sensing his surroundings, he try to feel himself.

This is the method that Shin come up, after a careful thinking. Since he thinks that if he want to know himself, he need to look at himself on a different perspective. Just like an angle in the third person point of view.

After training on this state for almost an hour, Shin started to clearly feel the movements inside his body.

The breathing of his lungs, the pumping of his heart, the circulation of his blood and others. All of these are starting to clearly reflected on his eyes. He felt like he transformed into a God that overlooking the world that he created.

Then few moments later his vision turned dark. After that he turned around and look at his surroundings trying to know which part of his body is this place.

*Swoosh*

*Tssst* *Tssss* *Tssst* *Tssss*

Then suddenly the area above him formed a bunch of shining diamonds, transforming that space like a starry sky at night. Some of those are staying still, some are moving in a fast to slow motion while others are appearing and disappearing like a shooting star.

”So I am in my brain. No... it is more like my Sea of Consciousness.” said Shin while admiring the sight around of him.

Then he saw an avatar of himself in the middle of the stars sitting on a lotus position

Shin stared at it for a few seconds before saying to himself. ”That should be my spirit. And for me to start, I need to gather the scattered Mental Energy here and refine my spirit with it.”

Then Shin close his eyes trying to feel the moving formless energies around him and attracting it to himself.

And when all the Mental Energy gathered around Shin, he started twisting it in a spiral motion forming a huge whirlpool.

And when that Mental Energy whirlpool gain its peak speed, Shin send it straight to his spiritual avatar.

”Ahhh...!!!!!!”

Shin felt an intense pain coming from his mind when that Mental Energy whirlpool come in contact with his Spiritual avatar, it felt like his head is being place on a meat grinder.

This is a technique that Shin got from the 'Four Symbol Scripture', it is use to strengthen ones mind and spirit. So that it can release an even more powerful Mental Energy.

The stronger the Spirit that one have, the more powerful the Mental Energy it can release.

And since this is the first time that Shin train his spirit, the pain that he felt is even more intense. If not because of his strong willpower then he should have been forced out from his 'Sea of Consciousness'.

After that brief pause, Shin gritted his teeth and continue refining his spiritual avatar with the same method.

An hour later, Shin is forced out from that state and return back to his actual self.

”Hou.... Haaa.... Hou.... Haaa.... Hou..... Haaa... Hou... ”

Shin inhaled and exhaled repeatedly in a hurried manner, for him to catch his breath. His back is drenched with sweat while some were falling from his forehead.

He is gasping because he have exhausted his Spirit through repeated hammering of his Mental Energy.

”So refining one's Spirit put a heavy toll on it.” said Shin to himself while laying on the grass.

”I didn't know that a Mentalist need to go though this kind of torture just to become strong. What is more is that this is just the enhancing ones Spirit to become a 'Psychic Mentalist'. I wonder how much pain need one to suffer to become a 'Kaleidoscope Mentalist', after all they also need to strengthen their body using their Mental Energy.” said Shin while looking at the moving clouds in the sky. Then he muttered to himself. ”Good thing that I have already refining my body using the 'Force of Nature' and my inner 'Qi'.”

”Tsk, sure thing being a Mentalist is much more harder than being a Martial-Artist.” said Shin while clicking his tounge.

What Shin didn't know is that refining someone Spirit consumes a lot of willpower and not the other way around. He only manage to hold himself until his Spirit is exhaust, was because his willpower is almost unlimited.

Then Shin raised his right hand in the air before gathering a revolving Mental Energy on top of it.

After that he pull his shoulder downwards while closing his hands, then he thrust it upwards throwing a palm strike in the air.

*Bang!!!*
