Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 37: Training start

"I’m also going. Goodbye," Elowyn said in a blank voice.

"Can I still not hold them?" Renan asked again, trying his luck.

But alas, he wasn’t lucky.

"No, you still can’t," she said, walking out after the embarrassed Sylveria.

’I guess it’ll take time before I can hold those fluffy tails,’ he thought, getting off the bed and heading to the washroom to freshen up.

Renan walked out of the washroom after ten or so minutes, having freshened up and changed his clothes. While walking out of the washroom, he thought inwardly, ’So when is the so-called training of mine starting?’ He continued walking out of his room, but he didn’t need to wait for long to find out when his training was starting, because he could see Gracen standing in the middle of his room with his hands folded behind him, looking at him with his usual gentle smile.

’It looks like my training is starting now,’ Renan thought inwardly while greeting Gracen outwardly, "Good morning, Father," he said.

Gracen also greeted him back with a slight nod and then asked, "So, are you ready, Renan? Your training will be starting from today onwards."

"Yes, I’m ready, Father. Let’s go now and start the training," Renan said, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

Gracen, watching Renan get so excited about training, raised a brow and asked, "Why are you this excited? Is there some reason for it?"

"Of course, Father, it’s because I will finally get to use my Elements again, which I have never been able to use since awakening them and getting into that accident. And every time I asked you or others to train me, they would always dismiss me by saying something like, ’Your training will start when you are one year old, so go and enjoy the time you have before it starts,’" Renan said, mimicking the voices of those who had told him that.

"Ohh, I see," Gracen said with a chuckle. "Anyway, let’s go now." He then turned around and started walking out of the room, with Renan closely following behind him.

"Hmm, Father, where are we going?" Renan asked while walking through the hallway of the castle beside Gracen.

Gracen replied without looking back and continued walking, "To the Training Hall." He gave a short answer and didn’t say anything more.

Renan, hearing the obvious answer, didn’t ask anything else and simply continued following behind Gracen quietly. But inwardly, he was definitely not quiet. ’I feel stupid for asking that question. Where else would we be going to train? Obviously, to the Training Hall! Huh, also, isn’t the Training Hall the place where Mother always goes to train? I wonder if I will see her there,’ he thought as he silently followed Gracen.

Gracen and Renan continued to walk through the hall in silence. After five minutes of walking, Renan and Gracen finally reached a big door. Renan, who saw the door for the first time, thought inwardly, ’Wow, the door is quite big. I think it’s as big as the door of the awakening hall, but it’s less luxurious,’ he thought as he observed the door from top to bottom.

Gracen stepped forward and pushed the door open. As Gracen opened the door, Renan saw a very big hall. In the middle was an arena, covering almost ninety to ninety-five percent of the hall. If one were to compare this hall with the awakening hall, which itself was quite big, it would be about one hundred times bigger than the awakening hall. Renan, who saw this, was beyond surprised and amazed. ’Wow, this is so big! I thought the biggest hall was the awakening hall in the castle, but to think there’s a hall that would make that one seem like a small room in comparison to this! But how is it possible? This place seems even bigger than the castle itself,’ Renan thought as he admired the hall.

"Let’s go in," Gracen said, pulling Renan out of his thoughts and admiration. Renan, who heard Gracen’s voice, shook his head inwardly to shoo away his thoughts and started following him inside.

Gracen stopped walking when he reached the edge of the arena, not stepping on it but turning around and looking at Renan, who had also stopped walking when Gracen stopped. Gracen spoke, "Renan," his voice heavier than usual. "This will be the place where you train from now on for seven years, or until you turn eight years old," he said. Renan, who heard him, felt excited to train and confused at the same time, thinking, Why for only seven years? What will I do after that? But before he could ask, he heard Gracen continue speaking, so he stopped to let Gracen finish first before asking.

"And I will be the one who trains you for seven years in fighting, martial arts, and other various things like mana control," Gracen finished. Observing Renan’s curious expression, he added, "If you have any questions, you can ask me," he said with a smile.

Renan, who was currently listening to Gracen and observing his surroundings, thought inwardly, ’So space element is used to expand this place,’ he thought as he observed the space in the hall stretching like rubber. ’This space element is truly fascinating. Sometimes, it’s like glass, and sometimes, it’s like rubber. I should explore this space element of mine; it has great potential,’ he thought. But before he could continue thinking, he heard Gracen and turned his focus back to him.

"Yes, I do, Father."

"Then go ahead and ask,"

"Father, does Mother also train here? If she does, then where is she right now?" Renan asked, starting with the simplest question.

"Your mother used to train here."

"Used to?" Renan repeated.

"Yes, your mother used to train here. But as you know, she finally made a breakthrough about a month ago and reached the Eight Circle. After reaching the Eight Circle, she became too strong for me to train with, so your Grandpa started training her in different training grounds," Gracen said with a sad expression.

"I see, Father. Also, why are you going to train me for only seven years? And who will I train with after that?" Renan asked.

"Well, that’s because, from what everyone and I have observed, seven years will be enough for you to learn. Also, there is not much time, as you know, because of the war. After that, you will train with your mother in a different training ground," Gracen answered.

"I see, Father," Renan said, pointed his finger to his side, and asked, "How is this place so big? Even the castle is not this big. How is that possible?"

Gracen, who heard Renan’s question, just smiled as if he had been waiting for him to ask. "I was waiting for you to ask. The reason this place is bigger than the castle itself is because of the space element. How it’s done, I don’t know either. After all, I don’t have the space element. But who did it? Of course, it’s your grandmother, Belinda," Gracen said with a smile.

"Wow," he said and thought in his mind, ’Of course, it’s Grandmother Belinda. She is amazing. I should ask her to teach me to use the space element,’ he thought excitedly.

"Anyway, since there aren’t any more questions you have, let’s start the training," Gracen said.

Renan nodded eagerly, excited and ready to start his training.

"Today, I will train you on how to control your mana and how to form a circle around your heart."
