Levi didn't move from his meditation position for hours after Tobirama left, even when Acnologia came and tried to nudge him to get his attention he just frowned a little which seemed to deliver the message perfectly to the dragon that he was busy.

Hour after hour, he stayed in that position wholly concentrated on clearing his mind and thoughts, he didn't know how but he could feel it, he could feel that his meditation was on the verge of a breakthrough to level 10 and it wasn't far.

He didn't need to eat or sleep which was perfect for his situation as hours turned into days with him not moving from his position, Acnologia went out to god knows where and came back more than once and the parrot guards came to get him a few times at first mostly for his meals before they gave up entirely.

Finally, after twenty days of constant meditation he received the sweet sound of the system notification.

[Ding]

[Meditation leveled up +1]

[Meditation reached level 10.]

[New meditation sub-ability unlocked.]

[Spirit world projection.]

[Meditation (Active) - Level 10: Helps calm the mind and spirit, HP, SP, and Energy recovery increases by 10% during meditation.

Spirit world projection - Level (Max): The user can now use meditation to project his consciousness into the spirit realm.]

[Endurance/Will power +2]

[Wisdom + 2]

Reading through the notification Levi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was a pretty useful ability if he was still in the physical world, in fact, some masters and monks spent their entire lives trying and failing to get even a glimpse of such ability but he had achieved it at just 8 years old.

But what good did it do him?

Laughing bitterly Levi consoled himself on getting points in Endurance and Wisdom, which was at least a little bit helpful.

Levi had the vague feeling that if he got his meditation skill high enough then he would be able to project himself into the physical world, and maybe even beyond that, but how long would that take and what use would it have, even if he projected himself he will be nothing but a spirit that most people couldn't see or interact with, he'd rather spend his time on more useful endeavors from now on.

One of those endeavors was searching for a way back home, and staying in the birds territory -No matter how nice, safe, and relaxing it was- wasn't helping, he needed to go out and explore the spirit realm more, to search every nook and cranny of it until he finds something useful, there was bound to be something out there that nobody knew about. And even if there weren't he could get stronger along the way instead of sitting around and doing nothing.

Stretching himself and feeling the euphoric sensation of stretching all over his body Levi jumped to his feet startling Acnologia who was lying beside him and amusing Levi who bent down and patted his head.

“Sorry for ignoring you all these days buddy, I was… training and I couldn't interrupt it.” said Levi apologetically to the small dragon, he really felt bad for ignoring him the past few days.

Acnologia gave him a look up and down before directing a doubtful look his way, Levi understood what he meant perfectly, ‘You say you were training but I don't see any results.’

“Sigh, I did get some pretty good results but sadly they're useless for now.” replied Levi sighing regretfully.

Acnologia only tilted his head in curiosity before ignoring it entirely and looking at Levi with a look that said, “Where to now?.”
