(Rodova Military Academy – Meditation Manual Storage Room)
Leo followed the thick-glassed assistant down a winding corridor, the soft hum of energy panels beneath his feet echoing through the otherwise silent hallway.
Unlike the Genetic Testing Chamber, which had been sterile and clinical, the Meditation Manual Storage Room exuded an entirely different atmosphere.
Rows upon rows of holographic shelves lined the massive chamber, each one containing glowing data scrolls suspended midair, categorized meticulously by tier and specialization.
The assistant adjusted his glasses, his fingers rapidly tapping on his data slate.
Moments later, three manuals floated forward, their luminescence brightening as they drew closer.
"Traditionally, meditation manuals are written in physical books that can only be used by one owner at a time. However, since we are a university, who may require multiple students to use the same manual at once, we have created a digital library of some of the universe’s finest techniques.
This library here is probably worth 70% of all the material wealth poured into this university.
Because, each manual in here costs about as much as one Genetic Testing Machine" the assistant explained in awe, as upon hearing his explanation, Leo’s whole perspective of the place shifted.
There were thousands of holographic meditation manuals in this room, and if all of them were as expensive as the assistant claimed, then this room was no different from a literal treasure trove.
"Alright, Skyshard," the assistant said, still slightly giddy from their previous conversation. "Based on your genetic potential and test results, the academy’s manual selection system has narrowed down three meditation techniques with maximum patibility to your physiology."
Leo crossed his arms, studying the three floating texts carefully.
"These are all high-grade meditation methods, each with unique strengths," the assistant continued, adjusting his glasses. "Whichever you pick will shape your foundation moving forward. So choose wisely."
Leo nodded, his gaze narrowing as the first manual unfolded.

[plete Marrow Meditation Manual]
A technique that gradually alters the body’s bone marrow position so that it produces modified red blood cells capable of carrying both oxygen and mana.
Strengths:-
•Improved mana control and stamina – Red blood cells infused with mana allow for better endurance and sustained bat.
•Improved bone and muscle density – Strengthens the skeletal and muscular system, reducing injuries and fatigue.
•Enhanced explosive movement and recovery – Allows for faster bursts of speed, quicker healing, and extended stamina.
The assistant smirked. "This is a top-tier foundation-building technique—nothing flashy, but extremely balanced. It will not only improve your mana control and capacity, but also improve stamina and physiology."
Leo nodded slightly.
This was undoubtedly a solid technique, but he wasn’t going to decide just yet without looking at all the options.

[Abyssal Vein Circulation Manual]
A method focused on refining mana circuits, allowing for deeper mana absorption and purification.
Strengths:-
•Extreme mana capacity increase – Grants three times the mana reserve of an average warrior at the same level.
•Hyper-efficient mana circulation – Converts external mana into internal reserves at 40% higher efficiency than standard techniques.
•Passive mana absorption – The body will naturally absorb ambient mana over time, even without active meditation.
Leo raised an eyebrow. This was far more aggressive in terms of energy cultivation.
If he picked this, his mana control and spellcasting would skyrocket—but his physical body wouldn’t receive as much reinforcement.
"You’d bee a walking mana battery with this one," the assistant noted. "Best for those who rely on energy-based bat rather than pure physical confrontation."
Leo nodded but said nothing.
Then, the third manual revealed itself.

[Titan Physique Refinement Manual]
A technique that gradually alters the user’s muscle fibers and skeletal frame to develop a physique that surpasses the natural limits of physiological strength and resilience.
•Enhanced raw strength and durability – Muscles are reinforced at a cellular level, drastically increasing physical power.
•Shock absorption and endurance – The body can take extreme impacts without suffering internal damage.
•Passive regenerative factor – Minor wounds heal quickly, and stamina loss is slowed during prolonged bat.
Leo narrowed his eyes. This one was purely physical-based, unlike the first option, which focused on stamina and mana synergy, however, it offered better improvement in departments like defence and raw strength.
"With this technique, you’d develop a monstrous physique, resistant to external damage and capable of wielding overwhelming raw power," the assistant explained. "It’s ideal for those who favor close-quarters bat and brute force. And with your unique muscle fibre position, it’s a fighting style that suits you well."
Leo took a deep breath, considering his options carefully.
1. plete Marrow Meditation Manual – Enhances stamina, mana control, and explosive movement.
2. Abyssal Vein Circulation Method – Greatly increases mana reserves and absorption efficiency.
3. Titan Physique Refinement Technique – Boosts raw strength, durability, and physical recovery.
Each technique had its own charm, it’s own appeal, however, in general the Abyssal Vein technique was broadly focused solely on improvement in the mana department, while the Titan Physique was only focused on the physical department.
Either could have been the best option for him, if he knew what kind of a warrior he was and what would plement his fighting style best, however, without having that knowledge, Leo did not want to risk not working on both departments at once.
Hence, as the plete Marrow Meditation Manual improved both mana circulation and physical attributes, to give the user a solid foundation, Leo decided to choose it in the end.
"I’ll take the plete Marrow Meditation Manual." He said eventually, as the assistant smiled knowingly.
"Smart choice. It’s one of the best meditation manuals from the Mu Clan, of course it’s the best suited for you–" The assistant said, as Leo raised his eyebrow in surprise.
He had no idea that the technique he chose traced its origins to the Mu Clan, however, coincidentally he chose it as his final option.
The floating scroll pulsed brightly before descending gently into Leo’s hands.
"You won’t regret this one, usually, we wouldn’t remend this scroll to individuals with low talent, because it’s notoriously hard to master.
However, with your talent and speed, there should be no issues–" the assistant said, as he gave Leo an honest smile.
"It’s not the most glamorous, but it will build your body into something unshakable. A strong body is the foundation for everything else." He continued further, as Leo nodded and began looking around, as if asking permission to leave.
"Oh, right, this concludes your Preliminary Evaluation. You have nothing more scheduled for today.
Once everyone else is evaluated too, a class list and class schedule would be posted on the academy notice board later in the evening.
You’re almost guaranteed to be in the Elite Class, so make sure to check the class schedule, because classes start from tomorrow—" The assistant said, as he gestured for Leo to leave the building as he sealed the room shut behind him as per protocol.
Immediately, Leo began making his way back to his dormitory, not wanting to run-into anyone else, as he wanted to take a moment to organize his thoughts after today’s events.
His evaluation today had brought to light a lot of shocking discoveries, and as a result of those discoveries, Leo found himself pelled to organize and plan for what was going to e ahead.
