47 Large Training Field (2/2)

A few minutes passed, and the three Moth students were already breathing rapidly. Sweat was dripping down their foreheads, however they continued to persist. Arnin was still doing fine. His endurance was high because of previous training, and because his realm was higher than that of the other three. The Teacher noticed this of course, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

'This one seems to be a great talent. His realm is much higher than the other students.' This teacher did not know much about Arnin since the principal wanted to keep quiet about it. Some teachers did know that Arnin was very talented, but they didn't know about his evil personality and the mysterious backer.

”This…*huff huff*... is so… *huff huff*...tiring.” One of the boys couldn't help but quietly complain to his fellow students. Of course, he tried to make sure that the teacher didn't hear him.

”Yeah, I… am about… to drop.” A little girl replied, her face completely drenched. Even her clothes were soaking with sweat.

”Keep going Alisma… we can… make it… *huff huff*” The third student replied. He seemed to be doing the best out of the three. Although he was exhausted and sweaty, he still looked like he could go on for a long time.

Arnin watched as the three spoke. He didn't say anything, and continued following silently. If they fell, then they fell. It didn't affect him much, so he didn't want to interfere. He just found them somewhat interesting.

Ten minutes passed, and the group were about a kilometer away. Arnin noticed that the change in speed happened every two-hundred meters now, rather than every one hundred meters. Arnin was able to go on for a long time, however he felt that the other three were at their breaking points. They were basically sprinting towards the Tower now, however the three students' faces were extremely pale and their lips looked dry.

'They are only five-years-old, so this much is already acceptable.' The Teacher nodded his head and began to slow down. He was satisfied that all the students were able to make it so far with sheer determination.

”Alright you guys, let's take a break first. Try to gather as much energy as possible, because we will be increasing our speeds much more.” The teacher stopped and turned around. When the three heard what the teacher said, they fell onto the ground and tried to catch their breath. They didn't have any water to quench their thirst, so they could only silently gulp down their own saliva.

The teacher looked at the three on the ground before his gaze fell upon Arnin. The latter was standing about three meters away from them. His eyes were closed, and his breathing seemed to be very steady.

'This kid is really something. He doesn't seem tired, and is even doing a breathing exercise.' The teacher could, of course, figure out what Arnin was doing with just a glance. Arnin didn't try to hide his actions either, so it was fairly easy to figure out.

He walked towards Arnin and began to silently watch him breath in and out. He saw his chest rising and falling, and even saw his nose quiver when taking in the air.

Suddenly, Arnin sat onto the ground and opened his eyes. He looked up at the teacher and asked without a single thread of emotion. ”What do you need, Teacher?” There was neither respect, nor disrespect in his voice. The teacher didn't take his attitude to heart, rather he admired it. He found that Arnin was different from the others, not because of his talent, but rather because of his composure.

When he first took the group towards the field, he found that Arnin gave off a feeling of something ancient. He quickly found that Arnin was quick witted, and exuded an air of confidence. His face had some arrogance, but he didn't interact with others.

The teacher found Arnin to be different from the normal, cold and haughty students. His arrogance seemed to be innate, but for some reason, he felt that it was not out of place. The feeling was extremely weird, and he couldn't even describe it properly.

”Nothing, I just wanted to see what you were doing.” The teacher smiled towards him. He didn't say anything else and continued to stare at Arnin.

”Have you seen enough? If so, you can leave and check on the others. I don't like being bugged by flies.” Arnin smiled wickedly towards the teacher.

The teacher just smiled when he heard Arnin's words, there was no other reaction. He then turned around, and waved his hand. ”I will be here then. If you need anything, do ask. We will be leaving in about five minutes, so get ready.” The Teacher then went and inspected the other students. He said some things to them, however Arnin scoffed before ignoring him.

While he ran from the forest, he had been sensing the essence in the air. The closer he got to the Essence Tower, the more chaotic it became. The essence in the field was like slow moving balls. It moved freely without much action, however around the Tower, the situation seemed to be different.

He noticed that the essence would move much quicker as he got closer to the Tower. It felt as though each of the essence components were at war with one another. Arnin also felt that the variety of essences increased as he got closer to the Tower. This made him very excited.

Five minutes flew by quickly, and it was finally time to head out. The three weren't completely ready, but they were in better condition than before. Quickly, they set out towards the Tower once more. A kilometer was overtaken speedily since they moving much faster than before. By the time they got there, the three Moth students were about to collapse of exhaustion, while Arnin couldn't help but grin widely.

He felt it. He could feel that the Tower had hundreds, or even thousands of types of essence components. He could even vaguely feel some time essence somewhere in the tower.

'Time essence, I can feel that you are in the Tower. Haha, good, good. This is perfect.' Arnin couldn't stop himself from smiling evilly. When the teacher noticed this, his body couldn't help but shudder.
