Ray heard about the princess. She was born with a bloodline of heart formation. And she is only six years old. She is the same age as Ray. Her ancestor was a great formation master. From time to time she will be given a formation diagram in her mind.
Ray was interested in making her join the team but has no interest in making her his wife. Ray said to his mother that he has no interest in a child. He was around 24 before he died. So he has the mind of a grown-up.
Hearing this, Diana has nothing to say and waits for the future. He is only six years old now. There is more time to deal with this brat in the future, she thought.
Ray asked, "What is the party about?" Diana replied that it is for the same princess we were talking about. She is going to show us formations that she can make using runes.
Ray looked at his mother and said, "You are giving me more reason to ignore her, Mother. I do not want any attention. So I guess I will avoid her.
Mother looked at him with annoyed eyes and said, "Why are you talking like a coward? You are supposed to be brave and be more manly."
Ray says with a smile, "I am only six years old."
Diana gave him the stare and said, "Didn't you say you are 24 years old?"
To which Ray replied with an even bigger smile, "My mentality is 24 years old, but in this life I am six years old. Look at my cute eyes and say I look like 24 years old to you."
Diana surrendered and said, "Fine, let's leave it to fate then."
Ray ignored her words and said, "It is just that there are too many nobles of 10 years old and above who will be interested in the princess. I will watch from the side and enjoy the view, staying with adults like you, Mother."
Diana wanted to coax more but always got an answer that always made her retreat every single time. If she says to show his rune talents, then he would reply with, he will become the target. If she says try to woo her if you get the chance? Then he would reply that he will be bullied by all the other children. This back-and-forth retort came one after another. Diana got frustrated and left the room.
Ray finally got the free time to see what his soul core can do. He saw that he has a lot of runes made like a matrix or something like that inside of his stomach area.
After trying to make a simple basic formation. He actually made a 3D version of the box. He started to spin and see it with his sparkly eyes. Then he started to make a bit of a complicated formation. He started to make runes and connect with one another.
Diana came back in after taking a breather from outside. Then she went in and saw what her son was doing. Her eyes went round seeing how Ray made a smaller version of Diana herself using runes.
Diana came and said, "Wow, this is beautiful, my son. You know how to make your mother beautiful."
Ray says, "Sadly this is not permanent; it goes away if I am not powering it anymore." He stopped using his soul power, and the picture-like mother formation went away.
Diana also felt it was a pity. It felt like something beautiful just went away.
Ray said, "I want to make something permanent like this that people can see or want to see like this again and again and can see it."
Diana understood and asked, "Well, there is a solution to that. Just put the formation in the formation disk. Is that from your world?"
Ray gave a smile and said, "It used to be called television; we call it TV for short. It is you who can see everything that they want you to see. It is like everything is recorded..."
Ray then started to describe TV in ten thousand words and describe how it works. He says something about moving pictures and then making sounds. The more Ray speaks, the more Diana gets hooked into it. She wants this to be their first product. The more vision he gives and shows to Diana. She understood finally why his son wants it to be protected and not allowed for others to get their hands on it.
He would need to become stronger himself and need a strong team to protect it as well. There will be more enemies that will come for it.
Diana only has one thought: her background is formation. Wouldn't Ray be protected by his maternal grandparents and be able to help them? So when Diana says this.
Ray says, "It is a great idea; maybe we can do that. As long as Grandpa doesn't give it to the king to have it. I am up for it."
When Diana heard that, she had sweat drops. She finally knows who Ray's biggest enemy is going to be. The king will definitely want to covet it. And his father, who is loyal to the king, would give it to him on the spot.
Diana sighed and said, "Forget it, your maternal grandfather is the king's loyal subordinate. We can only make our own army to protect ourselves."
...
After some time Ray then asked for books related to the formation. What types of formation does his mother know, and how will she help him learn those?
Diana became very happy hearing that, and this time she is not letting Ray do as he pleases after reading the books. She shows everything one step at a time. Which runes to use at a time.
And Ray could smile wryly after seeing what his mother was doing. She doesn't want him to make another stupid experimental mistake like the last time. He knows that very well. And he has no complaint for his mother. He is very happy if someone teaches him with a live demo. It is faster for him to learn.
The first formation she taught him is how to make a soul cultivation formation. This will help him in his daily life.
Ray started making what Diana is showing, slowly making one rune after another and connecting them together. But Ray's formation would go poof when he went for the 16th rune.
Diana smiled because Ray is not fluent with connecting. And smile that Ray has started having problems with the 6th rune and not managed to connect first. Then the 11th. And now the 16th. It is like every 5 runes he couldn't break through to the next one.
She didn't mind because when she was young, she had made even worse mistakes. And her father used to scold her for her mistakes. So with tears she would run away towards her mother and would always go to learn with her mother instead. Leaving her father speechless. Diana smiles now, seeing some of the past.
After four hours of trying, Ray has managed to make his first formation. He was so happy after managing to make his formation. His hands and head have made him filled with sweat.
Seeing her son finally managed to make it made her happy as well. Then she brought out a disk for Ray to keep his formation inside it. He slowly put it in.
Now if he activates the talisman, the formation covers them, and they can cultivate soul energy. Diana finally told him to freshen up and get some rest. So that he can sleep and get ready for the party tomorrow. She left after seeing his son go to freshen up.
Ray learned from his mother about the formation disk—that he usually needs to make a formation diagram inside the disk with runes. So that no one can see their secrets. But this could be done by professionals. Amateur likes him; he needs to do it outside and then slowly keep the formation inside.
For the first time he feels like he has taken a huge step. In two years he needs to make more members join his group. And after the awakening day, he would need to join the academy. That would be the time he will have difficulty finding men who could help him. The academy students will have more attitude. And it might be very hard for him to make friends there.
So after showering, he changed his clothes and then climbed up to his bed and started to think of the party that is going to happen.
He didn't like to party much in his last life. He had to attend some of the party the team used to make for them to join. To connect with people of other teams or show off their aura. He wonders how his parents and friends are doing in his last life. Are they crying for him? His mother must be crying and feeling sad for him.
He started to have tears when he thought about his mother from his past life. Ray hopes that his other siblings are helping his mother out. It has been more than 6 years. He hopes that they have moved on by now.
He then thought of the mysterious princess that could help him if she teams up with him. After some time, he was exhausted doing the formation. So he has fallen asleep.
