An unknown amount of time passed until Jason finally gathered his emotions slightly under his control.

When he loosened up his firm grip from his teacher's clothes, Jason could see tears in his teacher's eyes which wondered him slightly

A weak "I'm sorry" was the only thing Jason could hear and he wasn't aware that his teacher was almost crying in front of him.

Till didn´t know that such an accident would happen and the worst thing was that he wanted to be generous to Jason as a promising student.

As such, Till placed many grade-4 mana stones into the magic circle without considering the dangers that might occur.

He himself had once eaten a devilish valkyrie-shield fruit to finish a certain exercise, but he endured the pain only for 12 hours...He was multiple ranks higher than Jason and it wasn´t even remotely comparable.

Still, he never wanted to feel like that ever again but now he foolishly gave such a fruit to his students, who endured such pain for 5 times the length he himself had to endure.

He gave him the fruit which was the main cause for the exaggerated long time his dear student was tortured.

Thinking about the pain Jason had to endure, Till embraced Jason again and he continuously apologized. "I´m sorry….I´m so sorry…"

Jason was still overwhelmed by his emotions and it took some time until his dried-up voice rang out.

"It's okay" Jason said faintly, and he roughly knew why his teacher was apologizing. He noticed the grade-4 mana stones and was thankfully for them before.

Now, however, did Jason hate them more than anything else…

Nevertheless, Jason accepted his teacher's offer and the devilish valkyrie fruit, after getting reminded about the dangers many times.

Even if the last few days would be imprinted deep into his mind for his whole life, Jason finished constructing his first sub-area already and he was only a novice rank at that.

Even so, right now It was not that comforting for him when Jason finally noticed a 10-centimeter long scorpion trying to climb up his clothes, struggling to reach Jason´s head.

His teacher was loosening up the embrace and looked at Jason, taking a glance if his eyes were not dulled or if he was crazy through the unbearable pain he endured after finally regained control over his emotions.

Staying up, he helped Jason, who was holding Scorpio, up

Jason was mentally completely exhausted but he still noticed Scorpio´s lush green exoskeleton and wondered why it looked like that.

Activating his eyes for a short moment, Jason noticed that Scorpio´s mana core was now radiating a denser black color as Till noticed him taking a look at his soulbond.

"I have to say that your personality is really weird. You're impatient and irritating. Wasn't it a little bit too dangerous to feed your maturing soulbond a mana core cleansing fruit, even if it was the weakest possible one?" He questioned Jason while holding up his grade-2 perennial neoxid box that was empty.

"Your soulbond somehow opened the box and ate everything when I was worried about you and it began to undergo a molting...Now it's completely green and I can sense that it is slightly stronger than before."

Jason scratched his head in embarrassment, but his will was completely used up, without him being able to tell a lie as he told Till that he considered almost everything within the purity theory and his own research.

He also told his teacher how exactly he did what he did and how careful he was.

"It could have been extremely dangerous for your soulbond and your soul...but nevermind.. It worked but I'm curious if you already knew it would work and someone told you that the theory was already proven, which could be considered a secret of the big clans, or if you just experimented with your own soul and your soulbond´s life, fool!"

Till lectured Jason for a short moment before he noticed that he told his student, that the theory was already proven and a top-secret at that.

Not many people on the Archipelago knew about the purity theory and its worth, while much more people were aware of it on Canir.

But it was still cheaper to purchase a beast with potential than buy expensive core cleansing fruits.

However, this was when Beast-creators came into play which interested Jason but Till wouldn't answer him right now.

Till was still embarrassed because he cried in front of his student while the whole situation they were in was getting awkward.

Before Jason could say anything, Till told him that he should go home, sleep and regain his mental energy, before coming back when once he was ready.

Almost 40 minutes later, Jason arrived at the Fler´s house, where he was greeted with warm hugs before he was pushed away gently as his clothes were full of impurities and reeked extremely bad.

They wanted to know what happened but seeing Jason walking around like a living zombie, they let him go into his room, where he subconsciously took off his clothes before he fell into the bed.

Jason had not slept long for the last 10 days when one included the time he needed to learn everything about the Splitting mind´s first level.

Right now was the first time he smelled his bed once again and it felt like he was sucked into before the darkness devoured him as Jason closed his eyes.

While sleeping, the pain he felt during the last three days resurfaced and Jason couldn't wake up from the nightmare he lived through, even if he knew that he was sleeping.

There was nothing Jason could do as his limbs were torn out, his eyes dug out, getting skinned alive and the only thing he was able to do was to cry.

Jason was crying in pain and he was too scared about the pain when a golden light covered him, loosening his tension.

His body shook violently and Jason was forcefully waken-up from the nightmare while his back was completely covered in cold sweat.

Suddenly he felt the unimaginably vast amount of mana stored inside his eyes declining in a rapid pace as Jason sensed that the memories about the pain and torture he went through over the last days were becoming more distant and untouchable for him.

It was as if his memories were stored away and locked and Jason suddenly felt too tired to comprehend what happened when he fell into a dreamless sleep.

He wasn't sure how much time passed but it was already bright when he woke up and Jason felt somewhat weird, completely different from the time before he constructed his sub-area.

He could still feel pain in his heart to a certain extent and how painful it was in addition to him wanting to die rather than enduring the pain for 60 hours.

But somehow, Jason didn´t feel scared anymore.

It strengthened him, rather than turning him weaker and Jason remembered that his eyes somehow woke him up from the nightmare before.

Sensing the mana inside his eyes, he noticed that the vast liquefied mana was completely used up.

He wasn't sure how this could happen but he had the gut feeling that it had something to do with him not being scared about the pain and torture he endured, anymore.

Meanwhile, Scorpio was lying next to him, transmitting his hunger to him…

Looking at the holographic screen of his quantum watch he was astonished to see that it was already Friday and he had slept for more than 24 hours.

It was 10 am and he made himself ready to go to school, even if he would be late after feeding Scorpio some amber fireflies.

He was the only one at home, right now and Jason wasn´t sure why but he didn´t want to be alone, which was the reason he was going.

It was around 10:40 when his shuttle set off.

During his drive to the school, he practiced the Heaven's Hell technique and he noticed that his Soul energy had already reached 9.

Considering that Scorpio was now a three-star wild beast, he only had one soul energy left, which was not enough for either Artemis or Scorpio to increase to four-star wild beasts without Jason losing complete control over them.

Jason was still astonished to see, that his soul energy reached 9 and it was also the first time for him to notice that his mana core had already reached the 8th Novice rank which shocked him.

His physique and mana core size were still at the 8th Novice rank even after getting a 33% share from Artemis and Scorpio but they were indefinitely close to the 9th rank as Jason smiled lightly thinking about his two soulbonds.

Jason was holding Scorpio all the time because he needed anyone to rely on at the moment before entering the school gates as he felt suddenly reluctant to enter the school grounds.

After a few minutes, Jason stood in front of the arena, where he saw his classmates from far away.

`They are practicing martial art techniques?` Jason wondered and he entered the arena, while Scorpio was placed on his shoulder in order to free his hands.

Walking into the designated arena for his classmates someone noticed him walking in

"OH!! It's Jason!!" The first one said and all of his classmates turned around at once.

Some students immediately started to gossip while looking at him while other students didn't care about Jason´s absence at all.

But a few of his classmates stopped their practice, running up to him, not caring about their instructors' orders.

Apparently, their teacher was also absent and doing something else, causing Instructor Brian to suddenly appear inside their classroom Monday morning.

Nobody knew what was going on and they began to learn a Tier-1 martial art technique that could be used by almost all kinds of weapons.

This caused the technique to lose some of its potential, making it into one of the weaker Tier-1 techniques.

Nevertheless, the technique was still better than most tierless techniques and the students were quite happy to learn such a technique, which was not easy, as it was difficult to receive permission without relying on the school´s authority

Brian knew that one of his students was absent for the whole week which caused the ambitious instructor to feel slightly angry.

He wasn't even told a reason why the second last student was absent and Instructor Brian unconsciously labeled him as someone lazy.

It was already Friday, and only now he came to school, distracting his diligent classmates which caused him to become a little bit furious.

"STUDENTS! GATHER TOGETHER"
