The morning atmosphere was bright, birds were chirping with the wind blowing, in a classroom full of male and female students, Kagena leaned back and breathed heavily.
"Huh... I'm really tired." Kagena leaned against the table tiredly.
"It's rare for you to be so tired, what were you doing yesterday?" Reva asked while reading a book that said [world of darkness]
""Well, I trained my body to be able to upgrade my grusha. It took a long time until I had to meditate to balance my spirit heart." Kagena hissed in a tired tone while closing his eyes.
"As I thought, you should continue to strengthen your relationships with other humans or save their lives, that way you can become even stronger." Reva flipped to the next page while scratching his right cheek.
"The plan is good, but what if there is a mafia who is above my level?" Kagena complained while giving a tired face mixed with annoyance but silly.
"Well, don't die." Reva didn't care as he turned to the next page.
"THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?" Kagena reprimanded with an annoyed expression while hitting his table with his left arm. Then, with a panicked face, he immediately covered his mouth with a scared face because Mr. Zax started to watch his actions with a scary face.
A beautiful slender girl, white-skinned with a very beautiful face, Blue and silver pupils like the flow of the sea, white hair with a few strands of black, wearing a school uniform, sat beside Reva and Kagena's table. She looked at Kagena while giggling while putting her hand near her mouth.
"Well... Kagena, Always be careful when you speak." The girl smiled mockingly and then continued writing.
"What do you want, Ruya?" Kagena looked at Ruya with an annoyed face then he faced the front again while sighing and closing his eyes.
"Well, nothing, just making sure you're on the right path." Ruya looked at Kagena with a grin then looked forward again then wrote again.
"Tch, stupid rich people." Kagena looked at Ruya with an annoyed expression then looked at the blackboard again.
"Alright, so, as we were talking about earlier, today we're going to learn about spirit h." Mr. Zax stood up and took a piece of chalk, then walked over to the whiteboard on his left and wrote down the material.
"Huh? "Why do we have to learn this again? Hasn't it already been learned?" Kagena was confused. Reva looked at Kagena with a normal expression.
"Well, Indeed, we have learned this, but only as a side lesson, not the main one when we were in 11th grade. Besides, you know that spirit is complicated, right? Well, maybe just learn 'spirit is in our body' and that's it." Reva closed his book while closing his eyes.
"If that's all, even small kid know that we have spirits." Reva then took his bag and took out his notebook.
"Well... you... you got the point" Kagena twirled his pen while thinking while looking at the blackboard.
[I forgot to explain, that in this world, it is a fantasy world like many in most fantasy worlds. Before we talk about the fantasy, this world has 3 large regions that occupy this world. The 3 large regions are empires. Well, you heard right. This world has 3 large empires that exist in every corner of the planet.
The 3 empires are Qing shi, Shudoku and Gozaka. These empires have different characteristics and locations from other empires. I, kagena, occupy a place namely sector 2, metro city. Oh I forgot to explain it huh? In each empire, there is something called a 'sector'. This sector is a part or body in each empire. In total, there are 4 sectors in each empire with different placements or functions and different places. So if in a square map, the center of the empire is in the middle, the 4 sectors can be placed anywhere or free in size.
In the empire I live in or the Qing shi empire, each sector is on the right and left bottom and top. sector 1 which is called "Elite Sky" is on the top right, don't take the name seriously or arrogantly because many rich people live there. Then, there is sector 2 or metro city on the top left side, then there is sector 3 which is called 'The nature of truth' on the bottom right side and finally sector 4 which is called "star market" because the economy is the largest economic market among the 3 empires. it is located on the bottom left, below sector 2.]
Kagena wrote, with a sleepy expression, he yawned while stretching his body then looked down and immediately went back to writing. Meanwhile, in front, Mr. Zax was drawing the anatomy of the human body and when he was finished, he put his chalk on his desk and explained the material he was going to explain.
"You must remember that the spirit is a very important internal part of us. Within our bodies, there are 13 flow centers located in every part of our bodies. Spirit serves as a place of energy collection that directly transfers our life energy to each of our bodies. Then, from each part of the spirit, there are 3 important parts of this spirit. " Mr. Zax straightened his hand. Then, a green energy, like a stream of water flowed to the tip of his arm and "KRACK-KRACK!" a wooden ruler was created in the air and Mr. Zax immediately took it. "Okay, so this part-" Mr. Zax explained, while Kagena was playing with his pen.
[And that, is fantasy. In this world, there is something called life energy. What is it? Well, simply put, life energy is a flow of life from every living thing on a planet. In essence, "life". Life energy has an unknown source, but what is certain is that if there is life, then there is life energy. By the way, this life energy will shrink or disappear altogether if the place is a litter or there is no life at all, such as a dead or barren planet. The advantage is that it can be obtained anywhere, is easy to use and is almost unlimited, but life energy can run out because it is actually 'energy' that is stored in our body and if we are in a place where there is no life, the recharge of life energy can slow down or stop.
Life energy is the main energy of every living thing that can be compressed into 3 types, the first is 'vitalist'. What is vitalist? Vitalist is a compressed form of life energy into strength. Vitalist can make strength, speed, stamina, durability and even endurance increase drastically. Vitalist has 2 special unique bonds or powers, namely 'spirit heart' and 'Grusha'. What is Spirit heart? well that will be explained later by Mr. Zax and for grusha? what is it? well, simply put, grusha is a manifestation of life energy that can be transformed into an energy like a beam or even an attack that can destroy many things.
Grusha can also be made into a weapon like an energy sword or can create a destructive energy that is like poison or explosive energy. grusha has different colors depending on the opponent's personality and mindset. Grusha has an exclusive feature called "form", here, people who choose vitalist can create a form that they can develop themselves.
Form functions as an addition to more advanced powers, can create more varied attacks such as bent beams or pulling meteors from the sky. but you can also if you don't want to have a form but you will have raw power and strength or other physical things to be equivalent to the form but with raw attacks. you can also make it stable but mostly raw. To recharge vitalist energy, you need to meditate, interact, get an emotional high or save someone.
However, there are drawbacks to this Vitalist, first, users will experience organ damage, physical or memory damage when they exceed their "limits". The signs are when their bodies show veins with the same color as the Grusha color of the Vitalist user. Second, if a Vitalist is experiencing severe depression or stress, their Vitalist can become chaotic or weakened. Why? Well, Mr. Zax will explain later.
The second is environmental. What is this? Basically, life energy is compressed into natural energy. Like Mr. Zax earlier when creating a wooden ruler, Environmental is a relationship between humans and nature. You must have heard of something called mana, right? Well, the environment works by taking natural energy and bringing us closer to it in order to master what we want.
This environment is free, which means we can imagine as we please by creating things that are in our minds. Suppose I want to compress my energy into the form of wind, I can make a shield from wind or a wind sword. Environmentalism has several advantages, first one, the freedom to imagine our creations, second, the stronger our relationship with nature, we can change the place or area we want. For example, changing a lake into a lake of fire instantly. Third, if our mastery of the element we choose is very high, then we can 'unite' with that element. For example, if I am being punched by a thug and I master the fire element, then my body will immediately turn into fire when the thug punches me.
But there are some weaknesses, first, this environment has a limit where we cannot continue to spam the natural energy that we absorb like a rain of bombs because basically the basic energy is our life energy. Second, if we force an ability that we have not mastered, for example, we want to turn the forest into gold, then nature will immediately cut off our "connection" in a few moments. Third, if we are using an ultimate move, if the ultimate move we made is raw and we force it to attack, then there will be an explosion, uncontrolled or immediately canceled.
How to charge this natural energy or upgrade the energy of nature or ourselves? Well, you can do that through meditation, looking for an artifact or other legendary treasure to improve yourself and you can also continue to practice to maximize yourself.
The third is Cosmic Life. What is it? Cosmic Life is a combination of life energy and cosmic energy. Cosmic energy comes from the cosmic energy of a planet or star and life energy. The reach of life energy can be as large as a planet. Now you must be thinking, how can we obtain this cosmic life if we still can't draw life energy from life as large as a planet, or how can we reach it? The distance between stars or planets can be very far, so how? The method is the same, you can get it from either an artifact or a fallen cosmic item, for example, I'm walking around and I come across a historical relic that has cosmic elements and I just put it into my body. Or it could also come from a family member who has inherited the item. But the simplest is to mix natural and vitalist elements, that way you can access the cosmic.
Kagena's gaze began to fill with stars with heavy sleepiness, he lowered his face to the table and closed his eyes. Seeing his friend sleeping, Reva smiled evilly as he took a piece of paper from his book and wrote something on it. then, he threw the paper forward, which fell beside Mr. Zax, then, Mr. Zax bent down and picked it up and when he opened it, there was a writing [YOUR EXPLANATION MAKES ME SLEEPY! -kagena] and after reading it, Mr. Zax immediately came to kagena's desk who was asleep.
Kagena, who was sleeping at that time, began to slowly open his eyes and he saw an angel and immediately stood up and shouted 'HEY, AN ANGEL!' but when he shouted, he realized something, it turned out to be Mr. Zax while carrying a ruler.
"Your dream... looks so beautiful, doesn't it? Mr. Kagena?"
Mr. Zax smiled as he closed his eyes with an annoyed expression.
Kagena was silent, then answered tremblingly.
"I- I- I w- I WAS JUST IMAGIN-!" Kagena was immediately hit hard by Mr. Zax's ruler.
"YOU IDIOT, HOW CAN YOU SLEEP ON IMPORTANT MATERIAL AND SAY THAT MY MATERIAL MAKES YOU SLEEPY!" Mr. Zax shouted, with narrowed eyes while pointing his ruler at Kagena's face.
Kagena panicked, "NO SIR, I'M NOT WRONG! I MAY HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP BUT I DIDN'T WRITE THAT THING!"
Kagena argued while opening his arms. When Kagena looked to his left, Reva was reading a book but had his right hand on his mouth.
"SIR, IT WAS REVA'S DOING! HE DID IT! WHY AM I THE ONE TO BLAME!?" Kagena tried to convince Mr. Zax that Reva was the culprit but Mr. Zax denied it and got even more annoyed
"YOU KEEP MAKING EXCUSE! IF YOU DO ANYTHING WEIRD OR DISTURBING IN MY LESSON AGAIN, YOU WILL BE EXPELLED FROM MY CLASS!" Mr. Zax got his face closer to Kagena.
Ruya who was writing looked at Kagena with a smile on her face
"I thought that life would be beautiful with these idiots, I'm grateful to be alive." Ruya closed her eyes.
"Sir, can we continue the explanation?" Ruya raised her right hand and Mr. Zax looked behind.
"Oh, Ruya? Sorry for the inconvenience, but the stupid student behind me really makes my blood boil." Mr. Zax stroked his face while exhaling.
"It's okay, Kagena has already apologized. Even though his actions were stupid, Kagena was just tired today. So can you forgive him and continue the lesson?"
Ruya smiled while closing her eyes and covering her mouth with her right hand.
"huh..." Mr. Zax sighed then prepared to return to the whiteboard.
"Okay, I will forgive him" Mr. Zax then faced Kagena
"if you still do strange things, if I catch you one more time, I will expel you from my class, understand?" Mr. Zax pointed at Kagena using his right index finger.
Kagena stood up and saluted Mr. Zax, "SIR YES SIR!!!"
Mr. Zax returned to the whiteboard and Kagena sat down again then he sighed and looked at Ruya who put her right index finger on her right cheek while smiling cutely, "Yeah yeah, I owe you" Kagena looked forward, at the whiteboard.
Mr. Zax then pointed to a transparent image of human anatomy and there were 13 points all over his body. 3 from top to bottom on the head, 1 point on each shoulder, then from the neck to the stomach about 4 points and finally 2 points on each thigh.
"Okay students, let me briefly explain about the spirit first, the point is that the spirit is one of the existential parts of our body. The spirit is one aspect of life that determines our nature, personality and mentality. Then, the spirit has several points called '13 life streams'. Ordinary humans usually only open 3 or 4 points. What are '13 life streams?' It is an aspect of life where we can access a true state of 'life' and if we can open these 13 points, there will be several changes in our bodies. First, if we have opened 6 points, the body will experience a greater level of life energy and more flexibility in the type of life energy they take. Second, if we have opened 9 points, the body will experience a 'reformation' where life energy becomes one with the body and you. What does that mean? If the 3 types of life energy only channel your energy to each body and only increase your stats, if you open 9 points, you will unite with life energy which makes your physical and organs will still be able to use life energy without having to activate it first and usually the life energy that is large has a very large and more varied energy army. If you succeed in opening all 13 life streams, you will be able to access one of the rarest and most difficult energies to get.. It is pure energy. "
Mr. Zax pointed to several parts of the points, while on the table kagena, kagena was confused.
"Hey, Reva, I'm getting a bit dizzy watching this, can you explain it again?" Kagena whispered to Reva.
Reva looked up in surprise while still holding the book he had been reading,
"Huh? How come you don't know? This is an elementary school lesson."
Reva looked to the left, towards the wall. "That's why you got a bad grade in 'life way' class. You're terrible."
"what did you say...?" Kagena held back his anger while smiling.
Ruya turned to Kagena with a mischievous smile. "Fufu~ Need some help, Kagena?"
Kagena turned to his right, towards Ruya with an annoyed face.
"Huh? Who would want to be with a rich person like you? Even though you're the top of your class, I'm not that low!" Kagena pointed his pen at Ruya.
Ruya was shocked as she opened her white, floral fan.
"Oh my, I thought you were asking for help, but it turns out you were just trying to tease me. How pathetic." Ruya put on a sad face as she brought the fan to her mouth.
Next to Ruya, her deskmate, was a white-skinned girl with short blue hair and a red ribbon in her school uniform who was gripping and breaking the pencil she was holding.
"Hoh... What did you say to the princess?" her face grew even more annoyed as she smiled with a blue aura starting to emerge.
"Eh- FASRA!?" Kagena was shocked, then exhaled and then spoke slowly.
"Excuse me, my princess, could you explain what Mr. Zax just explained? I'm sure your explanation will be very valuable." Kagena rubbed his arms with a happy face.
"Okay, I forgive you, because you still owe me food." Ruya smiled as she closed her fan. Kagena smiled softly even though he was hiding anger in his smile.
Ruya then looked forward, "The point of what Mr. Zax explained earlier is the source or soul point in our body. The more we open our soul point, the stronger we will be and will be able to access 'pure energy' if we have opened all 13 energies."
"So basically it's like leveling up?" Kagena was curious.
"Actually, the concept is the same as leveling up, except that levels can be reset or lost. 13 life streams can increase our relationships and lives far beyond that. And each stream that is opened definitely has a large power gap between points."
Kagena nodded, "Oh, so these 13 life streams are our bond with life, huh? Okay, but how do I open 1 life stream?" Kagena put his hand on his right cheek while leaning on the table with a curious face.
Ruya shrugs, "I don't know, Mr. Zax will explain that later." Ruya continues writing on her whiteboard. "But one thing is for sure, since I was born, I've only opened 6 points. Now I haven't opened them again because it's difficult and I'm more focused on my future, what about you?" Ruya looks at Kagena with a curious face.
Kagena put his right hand on his chin and looked up, "I only have 4, because we are from different family statuses that's why you are blessed with 6 streams, but I'm trying to get the 5th and it's very difficult."
Kagena then faced his table, still holding his chin. "Well, as far as I know to get this life stream you only have to train hard mentally, physically and in strength. But guess what?" Kagena looked at Ruya with a serious look, "of course it doesn't work." Kagena was confident in his answer.
"Of course, your education hasn't reached that point yet." Ruya smiled while closing her eyes and hearing that, Kagena wanted to scold Ruya but smiled kindly, "Sorry, what do you mean?"
"Nothing." Ruya looked ahead.
[Tch, girl] Kagena said that in his mind.
The class continued, with various problems and issues, they continued to face it. But from the classroom door, someone was knocking on it, who was it!?!
