13 Progress and Vow
Over the span of the past few months, I had been practicing my wandless magic. My training regimen revolved around trying to move small stones. I can proudly say now I can move not one, but five stones simultaneously. Now, I imagined that practicing wandless magic would help me improve my personal magic or maybe even soul, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What actually improved though was my mind. I've finally reached peak tier 1 in my mind.

So does this mean I have suddenly become smarter. Certainly not (at least in not in the direct sense), tier of my Mind just means that my information processing capacity has increased. According to ancient yogic practices, mind's capability can be divided into 4 categories (16 dimensions) : Buddhi - The Intellect (Capability to analyze existing information), Manas - A Huge Silo of Memory (Manas is not just the brain – it is right across the body. Every cell in the body has a phenomenal memory, so things such as muscle memory and genetic memory are included in it), Ahankara - The Sense of Identity (Ego), and Chitta - The Cosmic Intelligence (A type of intellegence so to say that can function without memory or action).
Other than my own progress, I was also able to experiment with Prana's peak tier 1 Universal Magic. She can now expel both fire and life elemental energies, when she expels fire elemental energy she can glow in the dark, as for life energy we were only able to find it's use until recently.
(Flashback)
In the garden,
Prana was flying around the trees as I lay on the lawn, watching the clouds pass by. Suddenly, I heard a *thud*. I looked towards the sound and saw Prana lying on the ground near a tree. She started chirping, but it seemed she couldn't move her wings.
I went near Prana, bent down to pick her up, and noticed an injury on her right wing.
Me: "Prana, how did you end up hurting your wings?"
Prana: *weak chirp*
I looked around and realized she might have accidentally hit the tree while flying. Worried, I picked her up and started to run inside the house to get first aid for her. Prana chirped towards me, and I stopped.
Me: "What happened, Prana?"
She made more weak chirps and expelled life elemental energy. I instantly understood she was trying to heal herself. I watched as the injury started visibly healing. Soon, the wound was healed, but Prana seemed tired. After chirping towards me with a mix of exhaustion and excitement, she tried moving her wings, and she succeeded.
Excited that her injury had healed and that she had figured out how to use life elemental energies, I slowly moved her to her nest in my room and let her rest.
(End of Flashback)
I assume it would take me a lot more time and effort to break the barrier of tier 1 mind to break through to tier 2 mind. So I've decided that I should try to improve my body. I haven't done any exercises per se in my new life, unless you count running around the house and my neighborhood for fun as exercise. One thing I have noticed though is my body's flexibility is very good. I remember how in my past life, even doing simple stretches made my body feel old. But I guess all children have extremely flexible body. In this life at least, I'll try my best to take good care of my body.
I don't know what exercise would be good for a child my age, though, or would exercising be harmful. I think I should just talk to my dad, about this as his status does say that he has a tier 2 body that has broken through the limits of a human, surely he would know how to train the body.
Heading to the study where my dad often delved into ancient scrolls and books, I found him engrossed in the pages of a worn-out grimoire. His gaze lifted as I entered, and he smiled warmly.
Dad: "Regi, What brings you here?"
Me: "Ummm... Dad, are you strong"
Dad said with a smirk on his face: "Well of course, your Dad is one of the best Wizards Athens has to offer"
I of course could also come to that conclusion, seeing my parent's peak tier 3 in personal magic. I dare say they would be the best wizards of Athens, unless someone like Dumbledore or Voldemort exist here in Greece too. But that was not the reason I asked him that.
Me: "So Dad, I was reading a book where the hero crushes a bolder with a single punch, can you do that"
Only someone with a tier 2 body will be able to do that.
"Ho ho, Of course I can do that," He replied with a proud grin on his face.
It was at this moment I decided to take my ultra strong weapon, to convince my dad to teach me something about physical training.
I soon made puppy teary eyes and looked straight at him with admiration and told "Woaah! That is awesome. Can you pleasee teach me to become that strong"
My Dad had a serious look and took and deep breath and out of nowhere he hugged me with a teary-eyed look and said "So the YOUTHFULNESS flows strong in your blood. Well, they do say Dragon's child is also a Dragon"
Hearing him say that made me have a blank look and I started contemplating whether I took the right decision by asking him to teach me.
Dad: "Since your YOUTH is burning bright, even brighter that mine young pad wan, I shall teach you the ways of physical training inherited from the ancestor's of the Vesta Family"
Ah, so my dad was able to increase his physical tier through the family's physical training inheritance. No wonder.
He then continued
Dad: "But you are still haven't crossed your 6th birthday. We'll start your body training after your 6th birthday. Is that okay, Regi?"
I nodded my head with a serious look. It was at this moment my Mom passed by and saw us hugging, so she came over and said "Family hug time!", then she proceeded to join in the hug.
Regi felt an overwhelming warmth and comfort in the embrace of his parents, he couldn't help but smile within the tight embrace.
As he stood there surrounded by the warmth of his family, Regi made an unspoken vow to himself. In his young heart, he swore to protect this feeling, to cherish and nurture the bonds that held them together.
