10 Rings (2/2)

Back with Gurasu and Tsunade who were walking back to their carriage.

”What did you talk about with my mom”, said Tsunade with a curious look.

”Well….We talked about how our time in the mage academy will be dangerous…..She told me to watch our backs….And gave me something as well”, said Gurasu.

”What did she give you”, said Tsunade as she became more curious than ever.

”She gave me two rings”, said Gurasu with a smile. They both had arrived at the carriage and went inside.

”What…..Why would she give you rings”, said Tsunade with a puzzled look. They both sat down next to each other.

”Well….These rings have a special purpose….It will tell the individuals who wear it of their safety and location to each other”, said Gurasu as he took two rings. The rings had the color of black and had strange markings on it.

”Here one for you and one for me…..And always remember to wear it”, said Gurasu as he put the ring on his left hand, specifically on his middle finger.

Tsunade took the ring and also put the ring on her left hand, specifically on her middle finger. She wanted Gurasu and her to match.

When Gurasu saw, he just chuckled and did not say anything to her antics.

”Look Gurasu...Do I look good wearing it?”, said Tsunade as she looked at the golden eyes of Gurasu.

”Yes, Tsunade….You look good but remember to wear it always”, said Gurasu as he looked at her brown eyes.

”Ok”, said Tsunade as she admired the beautiful ring.

Gurasu and Tsunade continued to talk and have fun throughout the day.

Nighttime, the Royal Palace, Gurasu's room

Gurasu was sitting on the bed and meditating. His eyes were closed and he started to relax. Gurasu became a beginner apprentice mage level yesterday and he wanted to train.

He didn't tell his parents about it because he didn't want them to be suspicious of him. If he told them, they would be suspicious of how he became an apprentice mage at 11 years old. Even though they are loving parents, he is still cautious, and he knows that greed can change a person easily.

As Gurasu tried to meditate, he felt the Amg energy in the air. He tried to guide the Amg energy into his body. The more Amg energy a mage has in his body, the more spells and more powerful spells they can cast.

Gurasu tried to guide the Amg energy to his body by imagining himself that he is pushing the energy to his body. This way didn't make sense at all, but he had no other ways, so he just bullshitted it.

However, it worked, but only a small amount of Amg energy went inside of his body. Gurasu was able to sense a pool of energy in his body. However, it is only a little amount. It takes a lot of time for Amg energy to be permanently added to the energy pool in the mages' body.

Therefore, mages constantly cultivate and try to gather the Amg energy to their body so they can slowly increase the amount of Amg in the energy pool.

Gurasu continued to gather the Amg energy to his body, but he eventually got tired. 'So people can't cultivate all day long or even years like in the Cultivation novels…..I knew it those cultivation novels were just bullshit…..Who could cultivate all day long and not get tired', thought Gurasu.

Gurasu got comfortable on the bed and eventually fell asleep.

1 year later

Gurasu and Tsunade were sitting under a tree.

”One year went by fast”, said Tsunade. Tsunade was holding Gurasu's hand as she looked at the sky.

”Yeah it did”, said Gurasu as he looked at the numerous clouds in the sky.

”We are going to the mage academy tomorrow”, said Tsunade signing. She felt sad that she is not going to see her family for a couple of years.

”Don't be sad….I am going to be with you there”, said Gurasu trying to cheer up Tsunade.

”Yeah”, said Tsunade smiling.

As they relaxed under the tree, Gurasu looked at his stats.

Name: Gurasu Chlos

Race: Human

Rank: Beginner Apprentice Mage, Peak Knight level

Strength: 20

Vitality: 20

Agility: 20

Spirit: 0.9

Ability: Devour

When Gurasu looked at his stats, he just sighed. He realized that cultivating as a mage without using his Devour ability will take a long time to get stronger. 'Fuck….Just cultivating every day without having a lot of progress is a torture', thought Gurasu.
