《God's Eyes 》Chapter 85: You understand that?
Advertisement
More than half an hour passed when he used the shuttle in order to reach the house from school but not a single page was deciphered by him?
Was that even the same language?
Jason thought so but the problem was that too many difficult words prevented him from comprehending anything important.
Reading around these difficult words was also not easy because they were required to understand something, causing him to frown.
Jason walked inside the house with a disappointed expression as he was greeted by Greg who sat inside the living room, reading something while nobody else could be seen.
Greg noticed Jason's bad mood and they began a short conversation with him.
Jason didn't say anything about the splitting mind technique because he wanted to surprise Greg with his heavenly fast cultivation speed.
However, reading through the splitting mind introductory´s first page did Jason understand that there was a huge wall hindering him in learning the technique.
His shallow knowledge!
Jason had never learned anything about the anatomy of the brain and now he wanted to try how to divide his mind into active main-area and passive but unconscious used sub-areas?
Did he want to kill himself like that?
The only thing Jason knew, was the fact that there were many thin mana channels within his brain maintaining, tempering, and speeding up the thinking process all the time.
It was said that these thin mana channels were the reason why higher ranks would be able to think faster, process things better while their comprehension increased with the elevation of one's level and rank.
But Jason didn't know if that was really true.
When Greg and Jason finished their short conversation, he picked up a few sandwiches from the fridge to eat them as went into his room.
Normally Jason would read some books about beasts, evolutions, and magical ingredients used to evolve beasts because these themes were the most interesting for him recently.
But not today.
Jason decided to go through the first few pages of the 'Splitting Mind' technique without the intention of understanding everything directly because he only wanted to write down the words he didn't know to start somewhere.
Dozens of words were noted down and Jason searched them up in order to understand what was written on the first few pages.
After getting to know the words he didn't know previously, Jason understood the rough meaning written down once he re-read the pages multiple times.
This continued for hours and Jason wasn't even aware of what was going on, while two holographic screens lightened up the darkroom Jason sat in, with his golden eyes shimmered in the darkness.

One screen showed the Splitting mind technique manual, while the other screen was a combination out of a dozen research pages with different main-focus points.
Jason wasn't even aware when the first sunlight entered his room as he was delighted to understanding roughly what some pages really meant.
The brain was extremely mysterious and Jason was astonished to see that so many complex information about the brain had been found out by dozens of scientists.
He would never be able to get to know something like that and Jason was extremely happy that there were many people explaining everything neatly to him.
It was only when he felt a sudden pain in his right hand when Jason woke up from his enlightened and focused state.
Scorpio pinched him with his stinger because the alarm clock annoyed him and one had to say that the alarm clock was truly annoying, even in Jason´s opinion.
Looking at the time, he was shocked that it was already 7:20 am as he immediately ordered a shuttle, before he rushed into the bathroom to wash up as he changed into his uniform.
Rushing out of the house, he ran past Gabriella and Mark who waved at him knowingly.
They heard his alarm clock but both decided to ignore it, thinking Jason was sleeping soundly.
Jason was working way too hard over the last few weeks and he had to replenish some energy. Sleeping was the best way to relax and replenish one's energy causing the Fler´s to ignore his annoying alarm clock.
Never would they have thought that Jason wasn't sleeping but rather putting up a night shift.
Had they known that, Gabriella would have forced Jason to sleep because she was already worried about his health.
Sitting inside the shuttle, he needed some time to calm down while practicing the painful Heaven's Hell technique was the best way for Jason to do that.
Arriving at school, Jason had already finished his practice as he noticed that practicing the Heaven's Hell technique was becoming easier with time passing and accumulated experience while his soul energy increased.
Normally it should be the other way around but for Jason, it wasn't like that due to his high soul energy replenishing process.
Running inside the classroom, Jason was the only one there and he wondered when his classmates would finish their assignment because he didn't think it was too much of a hassle to come to the same conclusion as him.
But that was not necessarily the case because Jason was smart and diligent but more importantly weak, while he didn't cower from using dirty tricks to finish his task.

Maybe his classmates thought using poison would be unfair, forbidden or maybe they really wanted to fight against beasts two stages higher than their own rank alone, without even the slightest help from their soulbonds or others.
Logical spoken, it would already be difficult to defeat a beast at the same stage as one was without the amplified strength from one´s soulbond because the strength of beasts and humans was not comparable.
Only after being strengthened by the shared amount provided by their soulbond, humans would be able to fight beasts at the same stage head-on, but not against beasts two stages higher than their own strength.
If someone´s first soulbond was a magical ranked beast that shared enough strength in order to fight late evolved beast while only being at the novice rank, why would this person go to a school on Astrix?
There could also be someone with an essential strong physical soul that enhanced the physique multiple times or extremely rare high amplifying elemental soul´s that amplifies affinities by a large degree, but who do these people think they are?
Some kind of protagonist?
More likely a new candidate for stupid reincarnation...
Instead of jumping in front of a truck, serve yourself as dinner for some starving beasts if these individuals wanted to die fast....
Jason was waiting for his teacher while looking at the class´ chat group where some students complained about the unfair assignment, causing Jason to shock his head.
`Do they think rewards will fall from the sky without them doing anything?`
These students could learn precious techniques as a reward and Jason was immediately disregarding the previous thought he had about his classmates...They were dumb and useless.
He initially wanted to write into the group chat that they could use poison in order to solve their issue with evolved ranked beasts if they were questioning each other about how to deal with higher staged beasts and what one could do.
However, the few classmates who wrote something in the chat group were only lamenting about the current situation, and Jason immediately understood that the students that tried their best were not wasting their time with such a useless chat group.
It was exactly 8 am when Mr. Greil entered the classroom as he sat down in front of Jason.
Jason was supposed to start his questions about the Splitting mind technique and there were still many things he couldn't understand even after doing some research online.
"Mr.Greil, can you explain the unconscious connection between the sub-areas of the brain in context to the significance of the mana channels flowing through the brain, their uses, benefits, and possible problems that could occur during the transformation of the brain while practicing the fir level of the splitting mind technique?"
Till listened to Jason before his mouth twitched for a moment.
He had thought Jason would ask a simple question for the beginning in order to explain certain words but the 14-year-old youth in front of him asked questions like that after reading the manual for a few hours?
"Can you already understand the previous parts of the introductory!?!" He unconsciously blurred out.
However, Jason just nodded his head at the astonished-looking teacher as he didn't think it was something special.
Since birth, Jason had a determined and ambitious personality. Otherwise, how would a four-year-old child be able to endure gathering mana particles inside his eye for almost ten years straight?
After regaining his eyesight, his determination became even stronger and firmer.
Learning and understanding the [Splitting Mind] technique was extremely important for Jason causing his mind to work with 200% speed during the whole night in order to comprehend anything at all.
Luckily the mana in his mana pool was regenerating his energy and he could replenish the used-up mana while waiting for his teacher.
Till was still suspicious about the student in front of him because Jason was asking a complex question that required a certain amount of understanding.
As such he began to ask Jason questions about the Introduction of the splitting mind manual.
However, to his surprise, Jason answered the questions with flying colors, leaving Till with a weird facial expression.
`Ughhhh` Till was extremely jealous about Jason´s comprehension ability because he wasn´t able to do something like that when he was 14 years old.
When he was 14 years old, he was already relatively mature but Jason was completely different as he had a weird aura around him seemingly like he was already matured, looking at the world differently than his peers.
After he had calmed down to some degree, he decided to answer Jason's questions with a mountain of details.
Hours passed and Jason's questions didn't seem to find an end.
Rather than ending, they seemed to become more complex and it looked like Jason was receiving enlightenment by his teacher's explanations, causing only more questions to come up in his mind, even if they weren't necessary for the splitting mind technique.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Bonespore is a shonen-inspired story set in an academy where students train and fight. There is also a blend of magic and SciFi as it is set in a post-modern world of sorts. If you like something that is a blend of both magical slice of life, and tense moments with battle, horror and other events, then it'll be to your liking. (This will be crossposted onto Scribblehub)
