God´s Eyes

During the following week, Jason found that practicing the pain-full Heaven's Hell technique was one of the most relaxing things he could ever do, as the pain he received from injecting soul energy treads into his soul world core lessened by a large margin.

His soul energy was getting more and more stable while the circulation of it was much easier due to the removed impurities.

With Malia´s help, Jason imprinted the knowledge about all foundational and basic books into his mind as well as possible but it was still very difficult.

His head ached almost all the time during the last week because of all the highly technical language inside them but it was still extremely practical.

It was a tough decision but Jason decided to learn dual mastery of daggers as his main weapon for the moment because he was the most proficient with them right now as his combat experience was solely from fighting with daggers as main-weapon.

That didn't mean he neglected to practice knife throwing and archery training, rather than that, it was balanced out.

While he trained them for half an hour each day, his training with the daggers was around two hours long.

But that wasn't even the hardest part through the last week because the most exhausting thing Jason did, was the high-intensity workout prepared by Mark, which allowed every muscle group in his body to be trained and tempered.

He didn't even know that some of these muscle groups existed until he had to train them.

The main problem with that was however that there was not really much time given for Jason or his muscles to relax and regain strength.

Doing the workout twice a day was too much under normal circumstances as it was recommended to be only done one time in two days because the muscles had to take a rest in normal cases.

Eating high-nutrition food and medical baths increased the benefits of working out and decreases the chances of cramps and tearing muscles.

This caused his small stature and feeble build to gain a lot of muscles and his weak body without fat turned into a more healthy state with the appearance of some muscles all over his body.

Luckily Jason didn't look like Greg and his body structure seemed to be more leaned to the athletic shape.

He also grew a few centimeters as eating very nutritious food caused his neglected growing body to absorb the energy like Artemis, with gluttony and unrestrained.

If Jason had to estimate his growth, he was probably around 1.67+ meters tall and the small amount of baby fat in his face was burnt away, leaving an almost chiseled face behind.

Greg was envious of his looks which he showed obviously by beating him up during their spars.

Their fights couldn´t be considered long but they were intense for Jason and he noticed huge improvements in his overall combat prowess while he got better in evading Greg´s attacks each day passing.

Sometimes, Jason was even able to attack Greg but these attacks were always blocked and Jason was left behind with many bruises

His whole day was scheduled by Gabriella, who he called Aunty Gab sometimes because she liked it.

This however didn´t change the cruelty in her timetable

→ 5 am: Waking up

→ Breakfast

→ 3 hours Mana gathering

→ 8 am: Stamina training High-intensity workout

→ 9 am: Reading time including martial art technique manuals for 3 hours

→ Lunch

→ Sparring with Greg ~~30 minutes

→ Picking out flaws and training dagger master

→ Practicing dual-dagger mastery 2 hours

→ Knife throwing and Archery 1 hour

→ 5 pm second high-intensity workout

→ 6 pm medical bath

→ Dinner

→Time for himself to increase his knowledge, flaws, practice Heaven's Hell technique or gather more mana(optional)

Overall this schedule looked really nice for Jason but he had to squeeze in two additional times to practice the Heaven's Hell technique which made his schedule really complicated and annoying but the results Jason could see were obvious.

His soul energy increased to 6.2 while his physique was now truly at the 6th Novice rank.

Previously his physical capabilities were at the 6th Novice rank while Jason´s true strength was far below but now it was entirely different.

In addition to that his mana control increased consistently because the high-intensity workout included subconscious training and also an accurate control over mana due to certain exercises with the use of it.

Jason also felt that his combat prowess increased by a lot and at the end of the week, he was even able to fight Greg for a few minutes before he was pushed to the ground.

Taking into account that Greg trained martial art techniques for a few years and Jason only for a few weeks, this was an exciting achievement for him but it hurt Greg´s pride a lot as he thought of himself as an extremely good fighter.

In the end, it caused Greg´s determination to soar higher, and his motivation to get stronger heightened because he felt that Jason was catching up too fast, even if he was still at the 5th Novice rank.

Jason´s mana increased by a lot and his mana core was slowly getting stronger.

It would only be a matter of time before he would reach the 6th Novice rank and Jason felt this wasn't too far away.

He was expectant for the following week and only the weekend was left for him to increase his strength as much as possible.

There were many positive things Jason could think of but rather than being too excited, he was concerned if he would stain the Floors reputation with his weak strength.

This was why Jason gave 150% and each day ended with him falling into a deep slumber due to exhaustion.

One thing Jason could be extremely proud of was the vast increase in his knowledge.

Absorbing the content of each book inside his mind, Jason wondered how far his capabilities could go on.

One could say that his memories and reading ability worked together perfectly fine which allowed him to learn everything faster and easier than others.

Gabriella told him that with each increase in level and rank, the body would change overall which included his brain.

That means the higher his level and rank were, the smarter ones would be.

This however didn´t mean each human was equal smart.

Having a theoretical final exam result with full marks, Jason was still only at the 1st Novice rank while the other students at the 8th Novice rank or higher couldn't do that even if they learned for a longer time.

Most students didn´t focus on knowledge as much as he did but in his opinion, knowledge was the strongest might on Argos, followed by actual strength.

Tactics, martial art techniques, technology, beast creators, alchemy, blacksmithing, and much more was invented and developed by smart people and not crude muscleheads who used their fists to smash each other's heads.

The weekend passed using the present schedule, and Jason fell into dreamless sleep midnight Sunday.
