Chapter 3 Training

Disclaimer : I own my story.

On the barren planet we see Ben and the being known as Willpower standing in the center planet that they currently reside. Ben was still kinda sleepy  but he was wondering what type of training  will be doing with  Willpower.

The being replied," The training begins now, young Benjamin. You must first learn to channel your willpower and focus it into Mana. This will require intense concentration and meditation. We will begin with simple exercises to strengthen your mind and your will. Are you ready to begin?" He looked at Ben with a stern expression as if testing his resolve.

Ben nodded his head in agreement. He was ready to learn and grow stronger. The being smiled and began to teach Ben the secrets of wielding the Mana of Willpower. He showed him how to focus his thoughts and channel his emotion into energy. 

The being takes a seat on the ground and he gestured for Ben to do the same which Ben did reluctantly as he sat down.

The being spoke,'' Now we begin." He closes his eyes along with getting into a lotus position on the ground.

Ben mimic the being's position and he took closes his eyes. The two sat in silence for a couple of minutes. 

Ben was growing concerned to why are they are just meditation in the middle of the barren planet.

The being spoke,'' This exercise is used to strength the mind and your will young Benjamin in order for you control your mana you need to be control of your emotions." He senses Ben 's confusion and elaborates, "When you are able to control your thoughts and emotions, you will be able to channel your willpower much more effectively. This will make you a formidable force to be reckoned with."

With those words, the being fell silent and the two continued their meditation in peaceful silence. Ben focused his thoughts and tried to control his emotions, just as the being instructed. Minutes turned to hours as they meditated, but Ben did not give up. He kept pushing himself to focus his willpower and control his emotions.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Ben felt a surge of energy coursing through his being. He opened his eyes to find that the barren planet around him had transformed into a beautiful paradise. He looked at the being known as Willpower and smiled, "I did it. I channeled my willpower."

The being nodded, "Well done, young Benjamin. You have taken your first step towards mastering the mana of willpower. But remember, this is just the beginning. You have much to learn and much to master."

With those words, the two resumed their meditative state, ready to continue their training and push Ben to new limits.

For the next couple of hours they continued meditating Ben felt a tinge in his coursing through his body and he assumed it was his mana.Ben could feel the mana. He can feel it flowing through him like a river.

This is feeling is spectacular.

Its sensational.

This teaching  of mana is way different Verdona's or teaching method from who he recalled taught Gwen everything she knew and what she used to bully him in his youth whenever she was feeling like showcasing her superiority over him.

Ben's face etches out in hatred as he recalled being the victim of Gwen's " harmless pranks" which his former family calls it.
