Woon repeatedly swing his sword vertically while the weights is still in his wrist his arms is screaming in pain because of repeatedly swing of his sword.
"Ahhh ahhhhh this is much harder than I think will it be!"
*Panting
'my whole arm is screaming in pain I can't even lift it anymore!'
"That bastard already left the moment he explained everything!"
'my body is getting more robust and gaining more muscle even though it just been a day!'
While resting Ron enter the room and extended water to woon to drink and sit beside him.
"Hey woon how'd you encounter Eric?"
'what strange question!'
"Um we met at the barren lands where the holy war happen!"
"Oh it's there!"
'strange it's the same place where he died!'
"Why'd you ask by the way?"
"Just gotten curious! You know before you met Eric he was such a asshole a jerk you know he's disrespectful!"
"But before that happens he was a light he always smile and share with his friends!"
"But the day if the holy war his Childhood friend sacrifice himself just to save him from the corrupt beast!"
'such thing happened to him! I didn't know.'
Woon thought to himself.
"Eric become so gloomy and negative atmosphere surround him after that war!
But now that he met you he changed to his old self and become more energetic"
"So I'm deeply grateful to you that Eric and you become friends!"
"It's nothing and he's the one who help me after all I'm just trying to repaid the debt!"
"By the way Ron whos this childhood friend of Eric?"
"He's one of the seven skies and the youngest in history to ever reach that position!"
"His name is ##### you and him just look alike that what I noticed the moment I see you!"
'what I didn't hear the name something block it!'
"Me and him look alike what a coincidence hahaha!"
"Yeah right! Go back to your training slacking is bad for someone!"
'i didn't even get a proper rest!'
"Yes yes yes"
Woon continue to swing his sword his arms is shaking but he still didn't give up and continue relentlessly. Hours passed but he still continue the fatigue is building up and his body is starting to weaken and shaking his eyes yes he still continue and kept swinging but suddenly the door burst open and Eric shows up shouting.
"Hey dude your still alive?"
Woon collapse from the sudden shock of the door and fall in the ground Eric rush to him as he immediately see him fall.
"Dude your ok?"
'he lose consciousness he didn't even rest for a bit the fatigue building up in his body!'
"Hmm?"
Eric notice the sword in woon hand that it change color compared from before the color of steel is now mix with a hint of reddish color.
"What the grip in the sword is completely destroyed and the sword is hot!"
"Wait did he already unlock his core?"
Eric hold woon hand and check a light illuminated in his hands flowing through woon veins as he check Eric is confused on why he can't feel anything at woon core.
"Theres nothing the mana I just sent on him just flows out of his body!"
'and his core it's completely empty I tried to fill it with mana but it kept dispersing!'
"Old man!"
Eric shout as he calls for Ron after calling him Ron walks in to the room and ask what just happened and why woon is on the ground.
"Hey what happened in here?"
"Before that come here check his core!"
"What?"
Ron check on what just happened and why Eric is asking him to check woon core.
"There's nothing and it kept dispersing!"
'this is the first time I see someone can't wield mana and other energies!'
"Yeah that's what I'm trying to tell but I just let you know on your own!"
"Is divinity can be store in him?"
Ron said
"I don't know let's try tomorrow!"
"Yeah we need him to wake up after all let him rest in one of my vacant room let's take him to the cathedral tomorrow!"
"Yeah!"
A day passed since woon lose consciousness but he slowly wake up and dumbfounded on why he is in bed and not training swinging his sword.
"Why am in the bed?"
'did I lose consciousness?'
The door open in the side and Ron enter the room and sat down in the chair near woon.
"You lose consciousness yesterday I don't know what happened but there's a chance that you might not be able to become a mercenary!"
"What! Why?"
"Because you can't gather mana in your body and the other energies can't too but you can still sense the energies right?"
"Yeah much clearer at that!"
"That good!"
'did his sensitivity sharpen the moment he can't gather energies?'
"But don't worry you still have a chance!"
"Really what is it?"
"Through divinity!"
"Divinity?"
"Yeah it's a borrowed power from gods there are a total of six gods first the god of destruction and Creation, the godddes of darkness and dreams, the goddess of light and hope, the goddess of Nature and Living, the god of knowledge and Time and last the goddess of peace and stability!"
"Hmm so I will wield this borrowed power in order to continue being mercenary?"
"Yeah!"
"So I will chose from this gods right?"
"No they will decide whether they take you in or not!"
'what?'
"Ok so what will happen if they did not take me in?"
"It's over for you!"
'its a gamble!'
"Ok so let's go now!"
"Let's wait for Eric he make an appointment in the cathedral to well have to wait for him!"
