Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

In the Magician Academy classroom, a lot of students were sitting in their seats when the doors to the room opened and walked in Instructor Nina Olsen.

"Hi guys, today I will be teaching you about a magic technique that will help you control the magic energy inside your body. So, Listen well! The name of this technique is energy control. You only need to memorize twenty hand signs and execute them in the correct order to activate the energy control magic technique. I will perform them three times, so remember them by heart. There is no handbook for this technique, so do your best to learn it in class." Instructor Nina Olsen said in a loud voice, making sure that her voice reaches the ears of every student in the class.

"Do you understand?!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Everyone turned to look towards her, staring at her intently as most of them wanted to memorize the hand signs necessary to activate the energy control magic technique while some of them wanted to admire her beauty.

"I'm going to begin," Nina said before she performed twenty hand signs simultaneously. The very next moment, a large of blue energy surged out of Nina's palms, spreading outwards and permeating the surrounding, twirling around the students.

"Once you learn this technique, you'll be able to push magic energy out of your body. However, it will require a lot of practice for you to control your magic energy." Instructor Nina explained to them.

Elliot used his godly eye to appraise the energy control technique, causing all information about it to pop up in his mind and become a part of his memories.

<You've learned the Energy Control Magic Technique>

[Name: Energy Control

Type: Magic Technique

Effect: Allows the user to control the energies inside of his body. Once you activate it, you'll be able to direct God's Qi out of your body and move it according to your heart's desire.]

He cheated his way to memorize the hand signs for the very first time, engraving them in his memories, but what about the others? Theo was able to do the same as he used the power of his eyes of give and take, a extremely unique ability that he had kept hidden from everyone, including Elliot.

Lisa, John, and some other members of the class managed to get it after she performed the hand signs for the third time. Most of them, however, failed to memorize them. Seeing them sad, Instructor Nina promised to perform the hand signs until they learn about it.

"Before you leave the class, please write your name and draw your signature on this piece of paper. "

"Ma'am, what is it?"

"It's a magic contract and it will bind you to a rule that you must never break."

"What is that rule?"

"It's to never intentionally reveal or teach the way to perform energy control technique to others," instructor Nina explain to them.

Leaving one's sign on the magic contract was compulsory, so the students couldn't help but leave their names and signatures on it even if they didn't want to.

The same went for Elliot, but he escaped the foolish rules of the magic contract by paying a few hundred units of the essence of life.

After returning to his living quarters, Elliot sat down on his bed and pulled out the fruit of Earth and the Moons, placing it before him. To purify it, he needed to pour God's Qi into it. However, to do that, he needed to activate the energy control technique. He raised his hands, executing the twenty hand signs a bit too clumsily, which resulted in him failing to activate it.

He didn't feel disappointed, however, as he had expected such a result and knew that he needed to practice the hand signs a lot of times before he can perfectly perform them as well as decrease the time needed to perform them.

It took him a good amount of time before he managed to perfectly perform the twenty hand signs in the correct order, causing his magic matrix to release a golden glow that signified he had managed to activate the energy control magic technique.

Elliot's eyes brightened, not only because the magic matrix told him that he had activated a magic technique but also because he can feel that a mysterious connection has been established between him and the energy in his body.

He could tell that God's Qi will move as his heart's will from now on, and as he willed it to move out of his hands, a huge amount of golden blue energy surged out of his palms, swirling about before condensing into the shape of a ball under his will.

<-10 God's Qi>

<Remaining God's Qi: 70 units>

Elliot willed for the golden blue ball in between his palms to move into the magic herb, and It followed his command, doing what he told it to do. The balls floated away towards the magic herbs, latching on to it before slowly seeping inside of it.

The golden blue energy went inside of the magic herb, eliminating ten units of impurities, causing the herb quality to increase.

<Ten units of God's Qi have eliminated ten units of impurities from the herb>

<Remaining impurities: 90 units>

<The quality of the magic herb has increased as well as its effect. Now it will permanently increase your energy capacity by 11 points>

Elliot's eyes brightened up in joy after he finished reading the notifications that had popped up in his mind. Previously, the magic herb could only increase one's energy capacity by 10, but after purifying it from one-tenth of the impurities present in it, the number increased to 11.

"Doesn't that mean if I purify it from the remaining impurities and increase its quality, then it will increase my magic energy capacity by 20 points?!"

Elliot beamed a smile and started to purify it, killing the remaining ninety units of impurities present in it by using his God's Qi, hence increasing its quality.

«Name: Fruit of Earth and the Moons»

[Type: Magic Herb

Impurities: 0

Rank: Peak of the Magical Realm

Effect: Permanently increase the consumer's energy capacity by 20 twenty points!

It's effective for magicians in the magical realm and the Channel opening stage]

It has become effective for even the magicians in the Channel Opening Stage. Wonderful!" Elliot said in his mind before taking eating it, feeling a huge amount of energy go down his throat and into his body with each bite.
