Closing his eyes to start meditating, Dele couldn't take his mind off the conversation he just had with Tomi about the famed son of the heavens. It's too identical to not be the same person. He needs to find more clues before concluding that the gods from his previous life came from this magical place. Immediately, he cleared his mind to start practicing. Circulating energy into his body is not that hard, maintaining the same amount and speed of the energy is where the hard work is. After a few minutes, Dele was able to successfully complete the circulation and also maintain a reasonable amount of speed at the same time hereby strengthening his muscles and tendons as the energy keeps flowing through his body. As he was training his body with the cosmic energy, he kept having the feeling that the energy is trying to communicate with him as it's moving inside him. He tried asking Tomi for guidance on this but she just shrugged him off claiming that the energy drawn from the cosmos has no consciousness like the main body itself so it can't be trying to communicate or whatsoever. Dele continued training but he still has the feeling that the energy is trying to send him a message, so he decided to test it out on his own. Instead of just guiding the energy around his body he decided to feel it by sending his own consciousness to the area where the energy is. The moment his consciousness got to the strand of energy he suddenly felt a loud thumping and he immediately withdrew his consciousness to avoid any accident. Although what he felt was a loud sound, he was still able to hear the message saying " Who are you ?". Dele was shocked after understanding the message in the loud sound but he was sure that the message came from the strand of energy and not something else. Knowing that this is a huge matter, he decided to keep it a secret and go back to his room before he continues this conversation with the cosmic energy."Ahem, I think I'll have to go and continue my meditation in my room ". Dele informed Tomi before packing his work items and rushing away."Tsk, and I thought he really wanted to change". Tomi said disappointedly while shaking her head at the sprinting Dele in the distance.

Not too far away in the distance was a tall building facing the field, sir Karli shook his head at the sight of Dele running off in the distance. "Running away from training again, if only he could just be a little more hardworking ",Karli said helplessly." why do you seem to care so much about this lad teacher?", Yanni who was at the side asked wishing to know the reason why the teacher always pester Dele to train."You guys don't know this, but when you kids first enrolled in the academy we always do energy check to confirm that the kid has indeed awakened the ability to tap into the cosmic energy and also check the level of your energy control to determine the class you guys will be ". Karli took a pause while turning to look at Yanni who was listening attentively by the side."Most of the students energy were always chaotic at the start and we'll have to train them to control it and duration of them learning this is what we use in determining who are genius in the set and who is not. When I checked Dele's energy level, it was calm like nothing I've ever seen before. It was like the energy and his body is one".
Yanni couldn't believe his ears and couldn't help but ask. "What if he was taught by someone before he got enrolled in the academy ?"Karli shook his head and replied." I asked his guardian if he there was a teacher before he was enrolled and she denied it, claims she doesn't have enough money for a private tutor. Now Yanni couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but blurt out. "You mean he mastered energy control all by himself before he was enrolled?!".The teacher smiled knowingly at him and shook his head slightly before saying, " now you see why I'm so concerned about his cultivation journey. At first I also thought he was self taught, but as you can see for yourself, no one is as lazy as him. So unless he suddenly changes character or something else inside his body helped him control his energy".Yanni couldn't believe all that he was hearing at all."Is that even possible ?" Yanni asked in amazement."Nothing is impossible ". The teacher replied with a low tone. "Keep this a secret, no one must know about this for now. We might be looking at another son of the heavens".Yanni sighed before answering." It's a pity the genius in topic does not even want to leave his room ".Karli also felt that it was a pity, but there isn't much to be done except to watch how things unfold.

Upon getting to his, Dele quickly settled down and began circling the energy in body once again to continue his conversation with the energy. This time, he didn't rush his consciousness into the energy but poked the energy a little bit to make contact with it. "Who are you and why is your energy similar to his?" . This time the message was clear and not too loud but it only made Dele confused the more. Why is the cosmic energy asking him who he is, and who is it comparing him to?? Dele tried conveying his thoughts to the energy to see if it was a two way communication." What are you?"." I'm the cosmos of course, what else could I be?". The energy strand replied baffled."It worked!.I can communicate with the cosmos directly . Doesn't this mean I've also formed a connection with the cosmos?" Dele was beside himself in happiness totally forgetting that the cosmic energy is still present." what do you mean we've formed a connection? There's nothing between the two of us yet, humph".The energy strand quickly refuted Dele's claim of having any form of connection with it.It was now Dele's turn to be stunned." Then what is this we are having right now?" " What we are doing is called a conversation not a connection,I'm only curious about the energy in your body and nothing else ". Dele was a little disappointed but he continued with his questions anyway. "What do you mean by the energy in my body and why do you think it's similar to someone else's and who is this someone else?."You ask a lot of questions ,tsk. Anyway, the energy in your body is very complicated, there are two main energy in your body and also I feel other multiple energy locked up in your body also. The locked up energies feel familiar but I can't remember clearly where ..." The energy strand seems to be deep in thought as if trying to recollect something Dele was shocked to hear all what the cosmic energy is saying, he doesn't even understand what it means by having multiple energies locked up in his body." what about the person my energy similar with ?", he quickly pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind and continued asking his questions. " oh, that's Oba-Talar ". The cosmic energy strand replied absentmindedly.
"…What???….".
