《Honest Way of Living》Gift

"Fine, kid. I will show how bad your control is. This may also be a gift of being my assistant. Here take this." Steve touched Asfa's forehead with his right pointer finger.
[Memory Transfer]
Asfa senses something is flowing into his brain. He waited until the old man removed his finger from his head. The old man just transferred his method of channelling mana into our eyes.
He starts channelling his mana to his eyes and coats it. Asfa was so surprised because he succeeded on his first try. He looked at the old man and realised how fortunate he was to be able to encounter someone like him.
"Ay ay, kid. Stop staring at me! I know I am awesome. By the way, try your best to see what is the colour of my mana."
Asfa channels his mana into his eyes to see the old man's mana, "It is blue coloured. Eh, I can white coloured mana coming out of my body!"
"Told ya. You suck, kid. The skill I gave you just is called 'Clear Eyes'. You can't teach this to others without my permission. Since you can see mana now, I will teach you the old meditation technique to improve your mana control proficiency."
The old man brought him to the smaller room inside the laboratory and told him to sit in the middle of the room. He followed every instruction given by the old man until he entered the meditation state.
After meditating for an hour, Asfa manages to contain his mana from spreading unnecessarily. Though it was not perfect, it was good enough for him. He thanked the old man many times for showing and guiding him to be an adequate enhanced human.
It was time for him to go to the instructors' meeting in the evening. Before he left, the old man reminded him to be more careful with the serums he hid inside the forest.

"Thank you for the advice, Prof. I am not going to the forest until next week since I will be seeing my parents this weekend. See ya again tomorrow."
The meeting will be held in the meeting room inside the admin facility located in the centre of the college. Asfa has half an hour before the meeting, so he takes his time walking there.
He plays with his phone while walking there to kill time, his expression changes when he looks at the phone screen. Olivia texted him an hour ago, it was just a simple hello and nothing more. Asfa simply replies with a simple hello too since he wasn't really good with texting people.
He arrived at the meeting location and use his card key to enter the room. "Apparently, I got here way too early since no one else is here. Well, at least I can book a flight to visit mom and dad tomorrow."
He manages to book a flight ticket at 4 in the evening which he can just board from the Capital main airport. He wanted to meet them so badly to see whether he could buy a better place to live in. While waiting for others, Olivia is still texting him without stopping.
He appreciated talking with her in real life but to communicate like this just feels wrong especially after knowing that she will lead the country in the future. Asfa shared some of his past experiences with Olivia since she is inquisitive to know about and he had no problem telling them.
When everyone has arrived, the meeting finally started with a brief explanation about the weekly fitness test. Since there are only 6 classes for the first-year students, Asfa finally meets the other instructors for the first time.
From what he observed, the other instructors are not commoners since they are wearing expensive clothes and they look younger than him. Some of them glance at Asfa's clothes and make a disgusted expression while commenting on how ugly the uniform is among them. Asfa stays calm and collected since he just wants to leave this place as soon as he can to have fun later in the Capital.

The meeting lasts for an hour and the instructors are allowed to stay there to discuss anything they like and it is not obligatory. Asfa takes out his phone to see Olivia has been sending a lot of messages since he just stopped replying because of the meeting. Asfa took his time to reply to Olivia,"I am sorry, I had a meeting just now will start replying when I am free later on."
Asfa puts his things back to leave the room, and then one of the instructors approaches him.
"You are not leaving this room without saying anything eh commoner?"
Asfa smiles at the instructor and introduces himself.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Asfa Hunt the current PE instructor for Class F. I don't think it is appropriate for a commoner like me to stay here for too long."
They immediately start laughing while Asfa continues walking to exit the room. Suddenly, he sees blueish coloured mana slowly engulfing his body, and he walks as he can to avoid it.
When he leaves the room, he inspects his body to see if there are any differences. The feeling of being touched by someone else mana was unpleasant. He would want to go through that again.
"The old man must have trusted me so much to go through the unpleasantness. I need to be more careful with those people. Wait a minute, how did I see the mana without using Clear Eyes?"
Asfa recalled that he had been controlling his mana ever since he left the laboratory. He texted the old man to see if he could get a reasonable explanation. He waited for a while before leaving the college.
"The old man must be busy with his experiment. I guess I will just ask him tomorrow. Now, to the Capital for the first time with money!"
Asfa took a cab and told the driver to drive him to the 5 stars hotel nearby since he wanted to find a place to stay first. On his way there, he asked the driver about the attractive places that people go to at night. Strangely, the driver didn't reply. He looked at the driver and realised that the driver must think that he was an elite.
"Umm, don't worry. I am a commoner too. If you look at my attire, you can see that it is quite cheap."
The driver now looks comfortable and turns his head slightly to look at Asfa.
"Oh, young man. Don't do that again! Indeed, you look commoner to me. It has been quite some time since I got a customer that is not an elite. Anyway, what was your question again?"
Asfa asked the same question again to the driver. The driver told general rules that commoners should follow when wandering within the Capital. Though it was not related to the question, Asfa appreciated the driver's good gesture.

Science fiction elements won't be introduced for quite some time. I currently update my work at a rate of one chapter per week. I'm also in the process of editing chapters 1 - 7, changing the format to make it more readable, and introducing more show and less tell. The reworked chapters will have (edited) after the title. All chapters after 8 have already been written in the new style. I have a Patreon page if you wish to donate. Also, there will be intense situations, some explicit violence, and although it is not an erotic work, one or two sex scenes.
