52 Entering the Special Realm (1/2)
After advancing, Yale started to switch between training his Origin Qi and practicing Basic Healing.
Increasing the Origin Qi was equivalent to increasing the Origin Points, that would let him use more skills in battle, and that was important in front of a dangerous situation, and he was sure that the special realm would have a lot of dangerous situations.
As for training Basic Healing, Yale wanted to be able to heal his friends, even if they had scars afterward, as long as they avoided dying from loss of blood it was alright.
Furthermore, Basic Healing could also heal with altered states like when he healed Wyba after leaving the portal.
After all, Yale could only use Time Healing for one second before exhausting almost all his Origin Points; it could heal a big injury a bit, but not fully treat someone.
Yale practiced in his room, with Wyba as his only company for the whole week.
He had managed to increase Basic Healing to level six, which also lowered the cost of the spell.
Most skills increased the cost as the skill leveled up or at most remained equal, however, it was just the opposite in the healing magic.
The power of healing was always the same, but when the skill leveled up its cost was reduced. However, the reduction was also related to the affinity.
At the level five, Basic Healing required seven Origin Points, while at level six it only required six Origin Points.
Yale also managed to increase his Origin points to twenty-four it wasn't a huge increase but was very good for only one week of training.
In fact, the formations in the Imperial City made easier to practice any Path inside it; even mastering spells were easier than in other places.
Yale wasn't the only one who trained a lot that week; all the other students of the Nacesai Academy managed to improve more in one week than in one month.
They even started to dream about how wonderful it would be living in the Imperial City.
Even if they didn't know the reasons for it, the fact was that their training speed improved since they reached the Imperial City.
The only one who improved almost nothing in comparison was Heruk.
He only awoke on the third day. Even if a teacher had healed him after the battle with Yale, he didn't treat all the internal injuries Yale provoked, so his practice speed decreased.
However, the Imperial City increase compensated it, so Heruk didn't feel anything strange in his body and felt that his training was going as usual.
Yale's plan was a successful one, and thanks to the Imperial City, Heruk didn't even notice the state of his body.
After the week had passed, Swordmad took all the kids towards a big plaza where the space-time tunnel towards the special realm would appear.
The noble clans and the imperial family used a lot of resources to find that special realm and open the passage, it was similar to a teleportation portal, but the destiny was a place that wasn't in the same dimension they were.
As for what was inside, no one knew.
They opened quite a few similar realms in the past, and the result differed each time.
Experts of the past created those special realms, and usually, they had left legacies to the younger generation of the future.
However, some of the creators had wicked personalities and a lot of times the majority of the kids who entered such realms didn't come back.
Thus, the noble clans and the imperial family also gave spots to academies and kids from other cities, they were cannon-fodder.
Increasing the total numbers would diminish the chances of death in their side.
However, even if those kids knew the reason because they were able to enter the special realm they were still willing to enter.
In the past, some of the so-called cannon-fodder had managed to obtain strokes of good luck inside and that changed their whole lives.
Others were noticed by the kids of the noble families and managed to join their clans, also changing their lives.
Thus, even if the chances of death were high for them, the possibilities for their future were enticing enough to risk.
Of the Nacesai Academy group, only Yale knew about their real use in the special realm because Swordmad had told him.
However, Yale didn't mind about that.
The fact Swordmad told to him that even the nobles families felt that the special realms were dangerous and then selected cannon-fodder to reduce the deaths in their side, only confirmed to Yale that it was possible to obtain great rewards inside.
Usually, danger and opportunity were related, the more risk, the more chances of obtaining good fortune.
The ones who were nearest the gate where the members of the noble clans and the imperial family, they had merely sent five people each one, a total of thirty kids.
