Chapter 7 [Teaching and training]
[In Asoka's divine realm, the garden world trees]
All eight young elves stood in front of a lake filled with cosmic water, which can strengthen and clear any body or soul from impurities. They were gazing toward Asoka, who stood on the water wearing a black jacket, pants, and white spectacles.
"When I am teaching or training you, you can not call me 'father'. Instead, you will call me 'teacher or master'. Do you all understand?" Asoka asked.
"Yes, master," all of them replied.
"Your training will start from now on," he said to them with a devilish smile.
Upon seeing that devilish smile, all the young ones' bodies began to shudder, and they got Goosebumps. They simultaneously whispered in their hearts, "Holy shit."
Asoka created eight cubes in his hand, with each cube inscribed with a name.
He then said, "I will throw these cubes into the lake, and you are to retrieve the cube on which your name is inscribed, without using any of your innate abilities."
Asoka threw the cubes into the lake and tapped his single finger in the air. The clothes of all the boys and girls changed into swimsuits, covering their whole bodies.
(Nyx Volthar POV)
When I saw the devilish expression on our father, I got scared, and goosebumps started to appear on my body.
Then Father spoke. He said that we had to retrieve a cube from the lake, in which our name was inscribed.
After that, he pointed his finger in the air. Suddenly, the cloth on our body changed into a tight-fitting swimsuit that covered our whole body.
Then Father gave a signal and we went into the lake.
I was the first to jump into the water and swim towards the depths of the lake, followed by others.
The deeper we got into the lake, the more the pressure increased on our bodies.
I can only hold my breath for 20 to 25 minutes.
After five minutes, I reached the bottom of the lake and started to search for the cube. I found many cubes, but none had our names inscribed on them. They were all fake.
After some time, my lungs started to hurt, and my bones started to break because I could not bear the high pressure of the cosmic water. The idea of quitting started to appear in my mind.
Just as the idea of quitting appeared in my mind, I discarded it because I could not disappoint my father and partners, just because of some pressure and hardship.
"I do not want to quit. I still have the energy to go on. If this is not enough, then I will break my limit time and time again to achieve my goal. If this is not enough, then I will surpass my previous self. I'll keep pushing until I achieve it," I thought.
I started to search for my other partners while going in an upward direction. I found Sonia's and Rye's when I arrived on the water's surface.
They are also in a bad situation. they looked someone pale, and I was also not different from them. I saw Sonia, who took a long breath and drove into the lake
I also do the same and again swing toward the depth of the lake.
After 3 hours, we were at our last limit, but we still could not find the inscribed cube.
Before I can doubt our Father, we hear the voice of our Father in our head.

Do not see with your eyes "child," talk to nature, and feel its voice. Ask your question while communicating with nature and feel its answer. this ability is called nature sense.
After I listened to the father's explanation, I took a meditative stance underwater and started to try to communicate with the surroundings.
Just in a second, I entered into a state of selfishness. Even without my eyes open, I can feel the surrounding area.
My consciousness has arrived in a blank space, and the blank space is filled with tiny particles. All the tiny particles are releasing some type of waves in space. I started to observe and tried to feel it. After some time of trying, I succeeded in communicating with tiny particles. During the communication, I can feel their joy and happiness.
yes, I learned how to communicate with nature. I tried to express my intention to tiny particles to help me find a cube object in which my name is inscribed with their wave fluctuation in Elven tongues.
After I communicated my intention. All the particles started to move and create a path to a specific place.
I followed the pathway and when I opened my eyes. I was right in front of the cube, which was embedded in the Vertical Wall of Lake.
I picked up the cube and inspected my name. And yes, I found my name inscribed on the cube.
With happiness and enjoyment, l swim toward the surface of the lake.
I also see others who have found their cube and move toward the surface of the lake.
Just as I kept foot on the land, my vision got dark, and I slipped into unconsciousness.
(end pov)
Meanwhile, Asoka was sitting on a 'Tree of Creation' in a relaxed manner and enjoying the fruit of creation.
Asoka knows everything, what is going underwater, the situation of each individual elf, and their thoughts.
The first one to complete this challenge was Nyx Volthar, followed by others.
When they all kept their feet on land, 5 out of 8 had fallen into unconsciousness, and three of them were just lying on the ground, without the power to move a single muscle except their eyes.
Asoka floated near to them and healed all the internal and external injuries. Asoka also helps their body and soul to absorb excess amounts of energy due to the cosmic water entering into their body.
Cosmic water has refined, clenched, and strengthened their physique, spirit, and soul to a very extreme level.
After some time, all the children recovered, and now they can move easily.
All the young elves feel the strength course through their body, which gives the illusion of destroying a star with a single punch.
All of them were now standing in front of Asoka.
"I just wanted to check your determination to know how far you can go in the extreme, and truly you did not disappoint me," spoke Asoka.
Asoka continued to speak, " When a person gets anything for free, he will forget its value. Similarly, when you are given power for free, you will forget the value of power and its responsibility. This is your first lesson, Respect your powers and feel proud to achieve that strength on your hard work, and do not forget the responsibility that comes with power.
Do not be overconfident in your strength, but be confident to accept both victory and losses.
Now then, you are ready for the next training.
-----
Asoka teleported himself and the other children to the training hall inside the castle
Asoka and children's clothes have changed, and now they are wearing a tight combat suit in black.
The training room was very large, and the wall of the training room was decorated with all types of weapons from the whole Omniverse.
"Now, this will be your training palace, For today, I will only give the introduction about the weapons and its features and function of this Training Hall," Asoka spoke
The wall of the training room was content with all types Of Weapons And a 20 platform with a size of 5 feet was created in the training room.
When any person stands on the platform, they will be teleported to another dimension where they can choose any type of opponent they want from any race.
A person can also create their dream weapon just by imagining it in the training room and using it in combat.
There are also 25 combat puppets. They can help elves' children learn and advise them in close combat or any form of combat training. The puppets appear similar to adult elves. They are professional in every and any type of weapon and form of combat in the Omniverse universe. They are also the best teacher and advisers in the universe.
five hours later---
Asoka talks for 5 hours about the basic knowledge of the weapon and the features of the training room.
Now, they all appear in the alchemy room. Asoka also gives basic knowledge about it and moves to the next blacksmithing room. He also talks about the basic knowledge of blacksmithing.
Now, they all appear in the meditation room. Asoka and all the children were sitting in the meditation stands.
Asoka spoke," You already know the power-up system of this universe. But your power system will be different from theirs. Now, I'm going to tell you about your power-up system/level. First of all, you will not absorb the Mana. You will absorb the prime force of mana, which is Aether energy. The people of this universe awaken their element of affinity at the age of 8.
They absorb element mana related to their element. They did not absorb any elemental mana, which they have no affinity with.
Aether energy is the raw and prime form of mana, which is very violent and destructive. it is unable to be easily subdued like mana.
To absorb Aether energy into your body, there are mostly three types of problems:
First problem, The body must be strong enough to bear its destructive and violent force when you are channeling your Aether energy all over your body.
second problem, you must have the ability to sense or feel the aether energy. But you are Origin elves, you can easily sense the aether in the atmosphere.
The third problem is to subdue the aether energy.
