Davi initially had thought of asking the system to give him the 'Windcaller', but soon decided against it as he realized there won't be a good enough explanation to give as to why he suddenly obtained a new staff.
"Lets see if I can reach the first level of body refinement before the exam" Davi thought as he soon began to absorb the nen energy within the room and beyond.
The hell's initiated realm of body refinement are divided into six minor realms.
-Refinement of the skin,
-Refinement of the muscles,
-Refinement of the bones,
-Refinement of the blood,
-Refinement of the meridians and finally
-The Hellfire Baptism.
If Davi was still in the blue wind town, then even in the next three months he wasn't confident that he would have reached the peak of the first minor realm of body refinement.
Now however, he is in the capital… The blue sky city.
With how pure the nen energy is in the city, it is indeed an ambitious goal to reach this realm within the short span of a 1 week plus, but not impossible.
Closing his eyes, Davi sat into a lotus position as he slowly absorbed the nen energy around him.
The nen energy swirled about Davi, forming a mini vortex slowly refining the nen into asura qi before being slowly absorbed into his skin.
Unlike the time he was fighting Jin where he had to forcefully strengthen one part of his body, this time the qi was evenly distributed and absorbed into the pores of his skin.
After about 3 hours of intense cultivation… Davi managed to absorb 9 drops of asura qi.
Soon he heard the door close behind him.
Slowly adjusting himself out of the lotus position in which he sat, he heard Russells voice.
"Brother… I see your control with nen is improving fast eeh?" Russell spoke.
It would be a lie to say he didn't notice the nen energy revolving about Davi.
Smiling sheepishly he responded.
"Hahaha… Brother praises me too much, however all I know how to do is just harden my skin with nen" Davi said in an attempt to look not so special.
"Don't act all polite around me hehe… You realize that it is an elite ability itself that only the minority of awakened obtain besides how many can possibly absorb endless amounts of nen while fighting all the same?" Russell asked, proving his point in the process.
~Sigh
"Well I have good news and bad news… which would you like to hear first?" Russell said after a slight pause.
"The bad?" Davi responded.
"Hehe… I would start with the good then" Russell said in mischief
"Ayo! What's the point of asking me to choose then?" Davi asked.
"To annoy you obviously what else" Russell replied.
"Well… Am pleased to inform you that you succeeded okay? Now; spill the beans and stop keeping this blind brother of yours waiting!" Davi said.
~Sigh…
"You're no fun… Anyway after scouting the city I was able to find a few interesting details concerning the exam.
About the good news, I have found out where registrations would take place and we would register ourselves first thing tomorrow morning… The crowd is scary and if we do not arrive on time I am afraid we won't be able to register until the day after tomorrow" Russell said.
"That's great… where are you able to find the requirements?" Davi asked after a brief thought.
"Yes I did find out about that… Turns out that the exam would be split into two based on two requirements.
The newly awakened would be tested differently, but as for those that have already awakened their powers for example you and Gerald the captain of the red rock mercenaries would be tested differently.
According to what I heard the exam would have at least a Magic master overseeing each test, one magic grandmaster overseeing the exam;
But that's not all, I heard that five famous magic academies would be recruiting new students… The competition would be intense!" Russell said.
~Sigh
"What or who is a magic master or grandmaster? I have never heard of such before" Davi asked.
"Neither have I… I heard that a grandmaster is at least three major class above a magic acolyte and a magic master is at least two major class above a magic acolyte
That said, rumor has it that the king of Blue Sky Kingdom is a magic master… Therefore for a magic grandmaster to supervise the whole test isn't a small feet in itself
Rumor has it that even the king of the blue sky kingdom is only at the level of magic master" Russell said.
"At least now I am beginning to have some sort of understanding of the power system of this world…
Although I am still curious what class exists above the grandmaster level, I can always find that out later" Davi thought inwardly.
"So? Is that all? What about the bad news?" Davi asked.
Russell's face narrowed as he spoke expressing its relevance… Of course Davi could not see such expression as he was oblivious to this.
"I heard that there has been no progress to locate the 'new' treasure and the top mages, already disappointed, are already making plans to return to their respective powers.
This has resulted in the exam to be rescheduled for the next three days… It is indeed our luck that we managed to arrive on time. If not we would have totally missed such an important event, "Russell responded.
"That indeed is true… If not for old man frank's help we probably would still be in the blue wind town by now" Davi said.
"True… That is why we need to register with haste, this information has already spread far and wide hence the huge influx of mages and commoners alike into the Blue Sky Kingdom.
Thinking about how I have already paid for our stay in the inn makes me want to cry… If only I had known this bit of information earlier" Russell said as he sighed in regert.
"But look at the bright side brother… Although the money has a non-refundable policy, we can ask the inn to increase our meals to three quality square meals a day at least for the next three days.
While we focus on consolidating our foundations… What do you think?" Davi asked.
"That's a great idea… I feel I might awaken an elite ability.
Who knows? Besides, that was already my plan… To improve my control of nen in the next few days" Russell replied.
"Then what are you waiting for? Start training immediately!" Davi said.
"Hahaha, brother in case you have not noticed, we stink ok? Let's take a shower first then have our night meal before we go in for an all nighter.
Besides, I got us a new pair of clothes worth about 20 bronze rubbies each… It would be a waste not to wear them, don't you think?" Russell said, stating a solid point in the process.
~Sigh
"Fine I give up… Lets do it your way then, now you brought up food the worms in my guts are already going insane" Davi said faking a pained expression.
"Hahaha… You won't fool me brother with that" Russell laughed.
"Hahaha… Fine, you caught me!" Davi responded.
Soon enough, both Davi and Russell had taken their bath and eaten and changed into a new set of clothes… It was finally time for their training to begin.
Only one problem across… Both Davi and Russell knew absolutely nothing on how to proceed.
