Max walked towards the ti chamber with his heart beating fast out of his chest. He knew he had no choice here, he knew that he would co out of the other side much stronger than he went in, however, the very thought of not being able to see Asiva, Anna, Sebastian, Severus, Naomi, Ruby, Jake, Amy, Kartikeya and all his other friends for at least a century was making every step towards the chamber more and more heavy.
Max knew that if he thought about it too much he would not be able to step into the chamber and would probably get himself killed fighting Angakok, which is why he steeled his resolve and kept walking without faltering believing that he would beco a god one day and all this would be nothing but a short period of his life when he looked back on it when he was 5000 years old.
" Have you prepared him ntally? " Angakok asked Kreth directly not bothering to interact with Max.
" I did my part " Kreth said emotionlessly as he looked Angakok dead in his eyes.
" Very well it's ti to start training for you both then, I expect him to master wind by the ti you request to open this door from within Kreth" Angakok said as he opened the door of the ti chamber and motioned for Kreth and Max to step-in.
The training was to be completed in phases, not all god's would be present throughout each stage and Max would be left one on one with each ntor till he mastered their way.
The first training session was for him to complete [ Way Of The Wind ] from Kreth, a technique he already had so foundation in.
As the two of them stepped into the chamber, Angakok sealed it back from the outside as ti slowed down significantly for Max.
*******
( Inside the ti chamber )
The ti chamber looked like a white igloo from the outside that was barely sprawling a few tres, however, from the inside it was like a whole world of its own.
Vast plains, sunlight, fresh Breeze and so signs of life in the form of small tier 0 birds and animals was all present.
Inside the ti chamber was a vast ocean, about a country's worth of land and a natural ecosystem of weather and small animals just like on any other planet that was intricately designed and created by the various god's together to stimulate the environnt of the real world and to reduce the ntal fatigue of the student who would live inside.
A small wooden hut was made near the forest tree-line which reminded Max about Kreth's abode back in dragon's paradise as he soon realised that Kreth had built this place from his own mories so that he could feel at ho while tutoring Max.
' Well, at least I'm not stuck in a lifeless white prison wall ' Max thought as he sucked in the fresh air and felt a little better about his current situation which was a little better than his initial anticipation.
" Co sit, boy, today the first thing we do is you tell about the journey you have been on so far and how the brat Sebastian is doing.
Then I explain to you what exactly you will need to do to master the wind elent to give you a ntal goal to follow.
Only from tomorrow do we start training.
The only good thing about this damned ti chamber is that we have ample ti, we can afford to take a few days slow if you want to and still only lose a few seconds in the real world " Kreth said as he waited in anticipation about the accounts of Max's journey after he left dragon's paradise uptil today.
There were quite a lot of things that Max had to say and he took a good one hour or so to explain his account of events that had happened so far on how he made a na for himself in the Titus army, then beca a vampire lord, explored so ancient ruins and was now preparing for the upcoming clan evaluation.
He also explained Sebastian's journey in great detail as he watched the genuine joy in the eyes of Kreth when he began to realise that out of his two students the one to truly take up the way of the coward was Sebastian.
Max also explained in brief about Mira and her troubles back ho and how he beca a dragon slayer but Kreth did not seem much concerned about that part.
Only when Max was done recalling his journey did Kreth start to explain about the Way Of The Wind and the training they needed to undertake in the coming years.
" It's like this boy, way of the wind in great depth has 7 levels, but they can be surmised into 3 levels.
What you have mastered is the first level which is ' Perception '
You have learnt how to perceive the world from the subtle changes in the wind around you, a skill that allows you to see with your eyes closed and dodge attacks that have not yet been unleashed.
It gives you an overall competitive edge, however, does not increase your offensive or defensive prowess.
The second level of [ Way Of The Wind ] can be surmised as 'Harmony'. This is when you learn to harmonise your own energy with the wind around you.
In other words, this is where you learn how to manipulate the wind around you using your own mana.
It allows you to control the wind and use it to your advantage in both offence and defence. You beco one with the wind, moving with it, through it. Your speed increases, your agility rises, and your ability to attack and defend becos vastly superior.
This is the stage where you gain the ability to fly, for the wind itself becos your ally.
However, this level requires imnse understanding and control over your own magical energy and the ambient energy around you. Achieving harmony is not an easy task.
The final level, the pinnacle of [Way Of The Wind] is 'Ascendancy'. It's when you don't just harmonise with the wind, but beco the wind yourself. You gain the ability to transform into wind, to move as fast as a gale, and your attacks bear the destructive force of a tempest. The wind is no longer just an ally, but a part of your very being. This level, however, demands extre discipline, focus, and an almost impossible level of mastery over your energy.
Even I can maintain this form only for a few minutes without the help of the Vayu-Astra ".
Max listened intently, his eyes reflecting the fire of determination. Kreth's words were daunting, but they also excited him.
He wanted to fly, he wanted to control the wind and use it to his absolute advantage! Although he did not ask for this, now that he was here, he was going to make the most of this opportunity.
Looking at the vast expanse of the ti chamber around him, Max inhaled deeply, feeling the cool breeze on his skin. It was no longer just the wind. It was a part of his journey, a part of his path towards becoming a god.
