System vs Rebirth

After a bit of explanation from Shale, all junior soldiers sat down in a lotus pose. Shale had given them five Demon Crystals each for this next training.

"Just close your eyes and take advantage of the peaceful atmosphere in the morning to feel the Spiritual Energy from the Demon Crystal," said Shale while observing their progress.

As expected from Anna, she already absorbed the Spiritual Energy with her own Spirit Seal. In fact, she had been emitting Spiritual Energy from her body in perfect harmony as if this meditation was just a way for her to strengthen the connection between them.

'She has been using Spiritual Energy skillfully in the training, so I don't need to teach her anything. The control is very stable, so she'll get stronger just fine. On the other hand…' Shale turned to Noel who had been training with Anna.

In the training, Noel also let out his Spiritual Energy, but unlike Anna, his control was sloppy. He could only use the Spiritual Energy on his sword.

'Well, he has absorbed the Demon Crystals, but…' Shale glanced at the purple crystals that now had turned gray. It was the proof that he had absorbed all the Spiritual Energy from it. However, Noel couldn't release any Spiritual Energy he had despite having plenty of it. 'It's going to be tough for him from now on. He needs to learn how to control his Spiritual Energy as soon as possible.'

After a while, Shale said, "Every morning, you'll be meditating for four hours! The rest will be your physical training and group training. Because of the missions you can get, attending my class is not compulsory anymore. You can do your own meditation and training at your own room, but if you're here, you can consult me with your problems. I'll help as much as possible.

"If you want a mission, just come to me and I can show you the mission catalog you can choose from. I can read them for you but I'm sure that you can understand why we want you to have basic literacy skills.

"Anyway, that's all I have to say. For now, you can go to your pair and discuss your schedule and plan for the next one year. After that, you can continue meditating." Shale then walked away from them, giving them some space.

Anna came to Noel and sat in front of him while asking, "So, what do you have in mind?"
