Beast Evolution

Beads of sweat were running down both of their faces, their breathing was ragged but they were smiling.

"I really underestimate you," Gabriel said.

"You are quite good yourself," Ray said.

"So Ray why are you at rank 68?" Jake asked.

"Uhmmm... nothing Sir," Ray said back.

The students were really surprised that Ray could be this talented.

"If he was this good then what is he doing in rank 68," a girl said.

"Maybe he not that good, who knows maybe he and Gabriel planned it"

"Okay students, no more sparing, so what did you guys learn from that fight?" Jake asked.

The students all looked at him without saying anything. What were they supposed to say, they just watched an interesting battle so none of the learned anything.

"We should move on, how many of you know what Ki is?"

'Ki what the heck is that, I've heard of it but I don't remember' Ray tried to think.

"Gabriel do you have something to say," Jake asked.

"Ki is the power from inside our bodies," Gabriel said.

"Correct, so today we will learn how to control it," Jake said.

"But before we do, let me explain all about Ki," Jake said and took a wooden chair and sat on it while he told the students to sit on the ground.

"Now before we start practicing Ki you need to learn what Ki is and how we can use it. Ki is very similar to how mages use Mana. Mana is the force borrowed from the world. A mage's Mana pool determines how much of the world's energy they can control, in mages, their Mana pool determines how big or how many spells they can cast. So as Mana is the force from the outside, Ki is the force from the inside"

Ray listened carefully to what Jake was saying and he was really confused.

'If so, how come he has Mana, and his Mana pool increases if he levels up'

Maybe that's all because of the system, but the system didn't give him Ki, so he wasn't sure if he could learn it.

"The power of Ki is from inside our bodies, so if a mage's Mana pool determines how much force they can borrow from the world, what determines how much Ki we can use?"

Ray looked around, at least he wasn't the only one lost, no one among the students seems to know the answer, they were all staring at Sir Jake.

"The strength of our bodies, the stronger your body is physically the most Ki you can hold inside. This is why all new students would undergo basic training for 3 months, so that their bodies would be able to handle Ki, using too much internal force in a weak body would cause it to explode"

"What!!" the students shouted.

"Uhmmm Sir isn't that dangerous?"

"No it's not, all of you can handle the force so it's safe, don't worry most of you already have Ki in your bodies you just don't know how to control it"

"Let me show you an example of Ki," Jake said and stood up.

He walked towards a medium sized rock and carried it, the students were wondering what he was doing, and he placed the rock on top of another large rock that was on the ground.

"Now try to divide the rock with this sword" Jake handed the boy in front a sword, a real one this time.

"Sir is that even possible, how can a sword divide a rock," the student said.

"It's possible if you use Ki, try it"

The students stood in front of the rock and held the sword tightly, all the others watched him as he tried to divide the rock.

'Is that even possible, I mean a sword divide a rock, that's crazy' Ray said inwardly.

The student readied himself and with a powerful swing, he landed a hit on the rock. The hit was so powerful that it sparked.

The sword vibrated in the hands of the boy and he couldn't help but let go of the sword.

"Why did you hit it with so much force?" Jake asked the boy.

"You told me to divide the rock Sir," the boy said.

"Yes, using ki not strength"

"Okay, it seems non of you would be able to break the stone so we are moving on," Jake said.

"Sir" Ray smirked.

"Yes, do you want to try?"

"No, you should try it, how can a sword divide a rock that's impossible, so you should divide it so we can know if it can truly happen," Ray said.

The students were in support of Ray, they also think that a sword can never divide a rock, even though it was a small rock it was impossible.

"Haha, you caught me, there's no way a sword can divide a rock, that's impossible," Jake said.

"Ha, I knew it" Ray shouted.

Jake picked the sword from the ground and held it with his left hand.

"Sir if it can't be possible why did you tell me to do it?" the boy asked.

"I just wanted to test your imagination, I knew most of you thought it was possible" Jake laughed.

'I thought that was possible, so that was a joke, I mean how can a sword divide a rock'

"Okay, we are moving on, but before we move on, I want to try something," Jake said and turn towards the rock.

With his left hand he used the sword to strike the rock, he didn't even apply force he just let the sword hit the rock.

*Boom*

The rock split into two parts and fell off the larger rock. The student's eyes were glued to the rock, and most of their jaws were dropped as they witnessed this impossible feat.

"It broke, I thought if I used my left hands it wouldn't break," Jake said and smiled.
