(Xavier Edwards point of view)

Our day concluded without any progress. We returned home with Ren under my arms and Gabrielle on my back.

After I carried them inside of the house and placed them on the couch, they both moan like zombies. Upon hearing their stomachs growl in hunger, I said, "I will make dinner." and the painful growling of their stomach served as the perfect response.

(Two hours later)

"DINNER IS READY, COME AND GET." The two children rushed downstairs from their bedrooms and to the living room table, holding a fork and knife in each hand while chanting, "We want food."

To which I presented their appetizers, a Greek yoghurt Tzatziki with veggie sticks and following was their main dish. A lemon herb salmon with quinoa and roasted vegetables.

They immediately went feral and ate away. After a short prayer, I followed suit.

After they finished their meal, I noticed their eyes were focused on the dessert I made for us.

Gabriella and Ren had a warm expecting smile, "So are you not going to share?". Gabrielle said with a fake innocent smile while pouting her lip.

Ren was doing the same action as her, "Gotta supply to the hood man." Originally, I was going to ask for a favour but now I am debating whether to share or not.

After finishing my meal, I stood up with the tray of Berry Chia pudding and approached them, saying, "I will give you guys for one simple favour."

Both seem confused at first but ultimately, they appeared to want to hear my request, "Sure what's up?" Said Gabrielle

"I need you guys to show me how to use the soulstream. And use sorcery in general." I asked

Ren teleported besides me with his right arm around my neck while he adjusted his glasses, "If that's all then I will show you how it's done-" but knocking him out of the way, Gabrielle confidentially stood in front of me, "Why not learn from a-" but Ren instantly pushed her out of the way.

Then they began fighting yet again.

I was beginning to question why they are even friends in the first place, but I ultimately decided to smile and come up with a solution, "How about this, you both can teach me sorcery while I teach you both individually how to progress in your training task. That way everyone will get what they want." I explained.

They stop bickering after realizing the solution that I came up with, "Sure that can work." Replied Ren.

(Ten minutes later)

We have finished our desserts, and we were satisfied.

All three of us were in my bedroom where we could have this whole sorcery discussion.

From my understand of sorcery, using Gun-wo explanation earlier today.

Sorcery was created from a seed known as the veillotus seed. From his explanation, its first sighting was within the lost arctic island on Earth. It was apparently destroyed by early mankind who fought over the plants healing capabilities, which explains why modern humans are able to become bounded since they have the seed within them.

Suddenly four people understand the seeds true potential and are known as the elders amongst the sorcerers.

The seed is located within our souls which is also located within our hearts. The soulstream acts like a connecting network, starting from the soul and going throughout the body.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

He also mentions about our aura representing our potential and morality. Brighter aura is for pure heart individuals while those with darker aura are known for having a sinister morality.

That is all I know for now, but these two will explain the rest for me.

Before even coming to my room, Ren had to get six different books within his room. All with different symbols and colour.

Ren placed all six books around me as I continue to meditate on the floor, "How do you feel?" He asked

"Not only did I feel tired, but I also feel an irritating feeling within my chest. Am I doing it correctly?" I asked.

"Yes, that irritating feeling in your chest is caused by a hormone being released by the seed to which your body is currently reacting to. Focus on the source of your irritation, and when you no longer feel that heavy sensation in your chest, open your eyes." said Gabrielle.

I followed the instructions and felt something expanding inward until it suddenly vanished. When I opened my eyes, I found myself enveloped in a golden aura, "Woah, what now?" I asked

"Relax yourself to turn it off." Gabrielle responded.

I took a deep breath and removed my focus from my chest. The aura disappeared, "Now as you can see, your soul has its own unique aura. You must fill the network with that aura inward. Once that is accomplished, you will be to use sorcery." Gabrielle explained.

Fascinating, "And the books?" I asked noticing that Ren has been placing candles around me as well. Each one was behind a book.

Following up, Gabrielle closed my curtains and switched off the lights, "Switch your aura on and Ren will explain what going to happen next." Gabrielle said.

I followed her instructions and once again enveloped my body in my golden aura, "This part is known as rooting. We sorcery hunters employ two types of sorcery techniques that best suit our fighting style. The six categories are elemental, enchantment, transformation, conjuration, controlling, and specialization. To discover your root, you must identify the two candles that burn the brightest. Therefore, examine each candle and us your aura as a guide to find the correct root to." he explained.

I followed his instructions and stared at each candle. I noticed the network were beneath me. Some candles nearly reached the network, while others barely made it. However, the two that illuminated the room were the two only candles connected to.

Gabrielle went to turn on the lights while Ren picked up two books, "You are conjurer and an elemental." he said after handing me both books.

"This bizarre ritual determines whether or not I have a Sorcery technique. And what are these books used for?" I asked

Ren open both books and it had different types of drawing and movement patterns, "Sorcery technique are all taught to us by these textbooks. These basic skills and spells are used by everyday sorcerer. Once you manage to put your aura within your network, then you can start practicing these." Said Ren.

Following up after Ren explanation, "But it not that easy. It usually takes two days within your first day in the academy to unlock your aura. But the filling up your network part takes nearly two weeks of intense focus and concentration." Said Gabrielle while she picked up the candles.

Their explanation was extremely helpful, and I believe that I can practice this later before I go to bed.

After I turn off my aura, I got up from the floor and looked to both of them before taking a short bow, "Thank you, I truly appreciate your assistance." I said as honest as I was.

Judging by how the both of them made a unique reaction to my thanks, I can see that they are happy as well.

Gabrielle loudly yawns before heading out of the room, "I'm going to bed. You can teach me how to fight tomorrow."

Gun-wo words echo within my head about a potential punishment, "Should we not be concerned about the punishment?" I asked.

Ren picked all the remaining books and follow Gabrielle while saying, "He was obviously joking with us, there's no way in hell we would be able to complete those task without having some kind of advantages. Let's call it for today and do the whole thing tomorrow."

Now looking back he's training for both Gabrielle and Ren seems impossible to do in a day. Especially since one of them is unfit.

"I understand. I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow and I will be making breakfast this time." I said with a bright smile.

We exchanged our goodbyes, and I was left alone in the room. I leaped into bed and attempted to close my eyes, but I remembered something...

I still had Vita number.

(Five minutes later)

It took some time for me to figure out how to use this hunter watch and I can't deny that it felt similar to a smartwatch.

However it was fairly simple, after I registered Vita number in my contacts. I typed a quick message saying, "Hey this is Xavier, the guy whose number you gave in the hospital."

It took a couple of seconds, but she read the message an instantly replied by saying, "Oh hello." With a shy cat emoji.

I ask the question that was on my mind, "Why did you give me your number?" I made sure to add a laughing smile to make sure that she doesn't take it negatively.

A few seconds later she replied by saying, "I wanted to introduce myself, since you are new to the Hunter Sanctuary. I would be pleased to show you around, since everyone deserves a friend."

Statement sounds valid to me, so I reply by saying, "Okay are you available for a long night chat." With an upside-down smile.

In a few short minutes she replied by saying, "Yes" with a smiling emoji.
