Law Of Creation

Day 11, the month of the earth, aka spring.

[NO! THIS WAS NOT A CLA.S.S! IT WAS A HELL!!!]

[I lied down on the floor again. Do I have an affinity with floor today? Today was the first class for physical class. It was only the first class! I am already dying!!] Mingyue was screaming in her mind as she couldn't move her body at all.

Never crossed in her mind that the class would be this tiring, glued her body on the ground.

"Mingyue, are you okay?" Fangfang asked Mingyue with a concerned look.

[Well, I am happy with your concern. But, couldn't you see yourself? Didn't you know that I couldn't open my mouth? Seriously??] Mingyue rolled her eyes as she couldn't even move her mouth.

Peeking from the corner of her eyes, she could see a lot of fellow classmates were in the similar situation with her.

[From all first-grade children, there were only a few people that were standing. Really?]

[From four of us, Linlin and I were even unable to talk. Xiao Lin was in a little better condition. A little. And this little monster Fangfang stood there while holding our drinks. Sorry big girl, we couldn't even tell you that we couldn't move anymore. So please. Hey, don't touch my foot. Hey! HEY! DON'T TOUCH MY FOOT! IT HURTS YOU KNOW!!]

"Looks like there are not a lot of kids that could handle this class. Fine, class ended. Don't drink too much. Don't eat oily and chilly food. Make sure to have good rest tonight." Said by a muscle-man.

[If I was not wrong, his name was Dog. Eh, I meant Gou. Well. It was the same.]

[Originally this class should be filled with stamina building session. But why did it become a hell? Ran around Academy, lifted your friend while running, jumped, and another running session crap!]

…

[In the end, most of first-grader skipped their lunch. Well, no one was hungry. I meant, no one wanted to eat anymore.]

In the Fundamental Education stage, there were three grades. Mingyue, as one of the fresh student, automatically became the first-grader. If one was unable to finish their education in three years, he or she wouldn't be able to enter the Advanced Learning stage.

It was a strict system.

Now was already one in the afternoon, the spirit class should begin soon. The class was designed with many desks, with each had three chairs. Made it short, one desk for three people. But since the group of four didn't want to leave anyone, Fangfang pulled a chair quietly so they could sit together at one desk.

[Good job!] praised Mingyue while her body was laid on the desk, as if she was a luggage.

Thanks to the morning's physical class, most of the first-grader was dead tired as they were lying on their own desk.

"Hungry. . . " Xiao Lin was chanting the same word many times.

[Who told you to overslept, making you skip your breakfast. Linlin too is in a similar situation with Xiao Lin.] Mingyue rolled her eyes to the pair as it was not her fault.

"Then you better wake up properly. Mingyue and I have been trying to wake both of you up." Fangfang warned them. Thanks to Fangfang brought two bowls of veggie soup from the cafeteria, both of them were saved. Both of them were forcing themselves to drink those veggies soup.

[Well, I had a proper breakfast you know? Half a bowl of grain's gruel and a small piece of jerky. Enough to make people full.] Mingyue was proud of herself as she had the chance to have breakfast together with Fangfang. But unfortunately, she didn't escape Fangfang's lecture.

"You should eat more Mingyue. Your breakfast didn't even half of my breakfast, you know?" Fangfang reminded Mingyue with an earnest expression.

". . . Didn't you ask for the second portion? Don't expect me to eat as much as you." Mingyue retorted.

[Fangfang is a big-eater. No wonder she has so much stamina to waste.]

"Ah? You could speak now?" Fangfang was surprised, but everyone around her could feel a happy vibe from her tone. The reason is simple. She couldn't have any conversation with anyone as most of the people here were already dead tired. No one wanted to waste their 'hard to gather' stamina for a mere conversation.

"Yeah, blessed by the spirit." Mingyue was saying the truth. She tried to circulate Elemental to remove some of her muscle fatigue, that's why her recovery rate was better than yesterday. The bad news was, she couldn't hold this recovery any longer.

"Ah, if only we are capable to circulate the spirit to remove this fatigue." Xiao Lin chimed from the side.

[Circulate the spirit? Doesn't the one circulated is the Elemental?] Mingyue was surprised by Xiao Lin's wording.

"Circulate the spirit? Doesn't the one to be circulated in order to heal our physical body is the blood? Why is it the spirit?" Fangfang was surprised.

[Eh? I am surprised too. By your word too. Also, if one doesn't have blood circulated in their body, what is the difference with the dead?]

"Doesn't the one we circulate is the Elemental?" Mingyue chimed in, giving a light in their dark path.

[Because all I knew is the Elemental.]

"Eh?" The three of them surprised too, not expecting Mingyue's word.

"No, we cannot circulate the Elemental inside our body. If you do so, you will burn your body." Fangfang explained to Mingyue.

[But, but. . .] Mingyue felt wronged as she never expected the three would be in the same song.

"Okay, time to take an attendance. Nah, forget it. Let's skip the attendance, we will begin our class." Said by a young teacher. He suddenly appeared in the class, and no one realized when he had arrived.

Not wasting any more time, the teacher continued on blabbering in high speed.

"We will only talk about the spirit in this class. There are no other things like Elemental, flame, weapon, or even spell. Remember, we will only begin the very basic of the basic. The Spirit.

There are a lot of names that were related to spirit. For example, nature, blessing, world, air, prayer, infinity, god, heaven, and many more. Remember, it is us, human, who connects with spirit. Our research still tried to find out spirit's secret. Let's leave about research, we talk again about spirit.

Talking about spirit, we would hear spirit connecting right? Spirit connecting, a phase where human create a tunnel, a pipe, a string, a connection between the human and spirit world. What is the spirit world? What is that phrase? Hold your question while we are talking about spirit connecting phase now."

"Spirit connecting, let's say something like a pipe. This is the only way humanity could get closer to the spirit world. Spirit world or some people would say spirit. There are some contradictions between the two concepts."

"The concept of spirit, human will ask a small part of the spirit, or you could say Elemental. Meanwhile, the concept of the spirit world is, the human would get into contact with spirit every time he/she used the spirit connecting. And the power we receive was not called Elemental, but spirit. The power of spirit was believed as the rawest form of this world. And there was a saying, if you could control the spirit, you would control the world."

"Of course, these two theories still a theory, but both their argument is solid. That's why there would be a contradiction between you first-grade student's knowledge."

"Remember. Don't think your understanding is wrong and other people's understanding was right. Vice versa."

"Now we will talk about spirit history. Or more like, the oldest record of human came in contact with a spirit" The young teacher didn't give the students any chance to interject or asked any question as the young teacher continued his lesson.

…

"Hey, any of you understood the lesson earlier?" At the end of class, a pair of girls came to us and asked this question.

"Ahahahaha." Fangfang only smiled bitterly as this class was too complicated for her.

"All I remember is that teacher didn't tell us his name." Xiao Lin joked with a big smile, but no one thought that it was a joke.

"I'm tired. Tomorrow morning would be another physical class. Who know I would be able to hold my life or not." Linlin despaired as she had a gloomy aura around her.

[Well Linlin's body condition is kind of similar to me, no one could blame her.] Mingyue chuckled weakly. Deep inside her heart, she was happy since she was not the only one with a weak physique.

"Right, right, that Teacher Dog is killing us!" A thin, very thin girl that was standing in front of us was fuming with anger. Her body was very thin as it was similar to a skeleton. Her body was like a bone wrapped by a skin, kind of scary. "Ah, that's right. My name is Hanni. Just be casual is fine, he he. . . Sigh. . . My body will break sooner or later. Humph that teacher. . ."

[Your change of mood is kind of fast, you know? Earlier you are angry, then you can laugh, and you return to be angry.] Mingyue was baffled by Hanni's antics.

"But at least you could stand at the end of the class right?" A girl beside Hanni sneered at her. She was called Xiao San. She had freckles all over the face.

[Well, poor girls would get to know each other faster thanks to you. Thank you very much, teacher Dog.] Mingyue was being grateful to the teacher Dog

"Hey, are you all interested in touring around the outer side of Academy later? I meant for the 19th day of this month. I want to buy some snack." Xiao San invited the four of us.

"If you want to make me run around Academy, then I wouldn't come," Mingyue answered reflexively as she remembered her experience yesterday.

[Yesterday's experience was enough to make me dying enough! Don't kill me!!] Mingyue screamed in her mind.

While the girls were surprised by Mingyue answer, Fangfang was laughing hard. When the girls knew the reason for Mingyue's answer, they were laughing together.

[Humph. . . Today's physical class was only a little harder than Fangfang's jog you know.] Seeing the sulking Mingyue, they finally stopped their laughter as they were planning for their day off.

In the end, the six of us made a promise to walk around the outer side of the Academy later.
