Chapter 17: An Hardworking Ghost
"You think you have mastered Clairvoyance just because you can see some few kilometres? Clairvoyance can see the entire world like you are seeing this entire window, you can find a specific ant that you want to find amidst everything that exists in this world, nothing is lost to you, and no one is hidden to you, that is Clairvoyance. But then I understand that you are a newbie and it will take some height to master Clairvoyance to its peak hence I'm not going to disturb you but there's one thing you must be able to do with Clairvoyance."
"See future?"
"Hell no! Why would I have that cursed ability." Her reply was quite offsetting.
"I disagree with that, how's that a cursed ability, back on earth there's a movie about a guy who can even run into the future and it was cool."
"Goshujin, get your head straight. Nothing good will come from knowing the misfortunes that are ahead of you. Plus it's an imbalance with a hefty price. What you will be learning is how to see the circuit of the body."
"What's that?"
"You know how the Duke..."
"You mean my father..."
"That's what I said, the Duke, don't distract me."
For some reason, I felt like she deliberately did that.
"When he touched your chest, what he was doing was using your breathing pattern to trace the circuits in your body. All circuits carry energy from the core to other places, so all he had to do was trace it back to the core. We will unlock your Clairvoyance such that you will be able to see the entire circuit and even the core just by looking. If you can do this, you can tell what level a person's core is, you can even put to numbers how much energy they have and it will be as accurate as of the magic item the humans use." She concluded.
Before I knew it, I was riled up, there's no dull moment with Anastasia's training, that's what I thought until...
"So what you will do now is sit in front of this wall, stare deep into it and don't blink until you have seen through the wall. Hold your eyelids up if you have to, I don't know how long it will take for you to see through it but the moment you blink it'll be like a restart. Now! Goshujin! Sit in front of the wall!!"

>Morning<
~Creak~
"Young lo- - Aahhhhhhh!!!" She screamed with her head voice as though she had seen a ghost.
The other two maids that were outside ran inside and had the same reaction.
What did they see?
My already stubborn hair was all tangled as I twisted them all night because I need something that I will continue to do that won't let me get distracted or sleepy and pulling and tangling my hair was just the perfect thing. It was a habit from when I was young, when I was reading for an exam I used to play with my hair, tangling and losing it and I won't get distracted or sleep.
My sclera had reddened and even veins could be seen on my eyes, maybe my red eyeballs were hiding them a little but to top it all the bag not only under my eyes but on it made my whole eyes swell out.
'Darn Anastasia...'
"Young lord! What happened?!" The eldest maid shouted as she ran to me and went on her knees, coming down to my eye level.
My eyes hurt, they really hurt, I thought training in a fantasy world was supposed to be enjoyable apart from when it is physical training but aren't magical training and stuff like this supposed to be easy peasy. The only good thing was...
"...with this size of core... the energy it can hold should be around 7,000. But if we take away the energy that is being used every day... looking at this particular circuit, even her breathing is exhausting energy instead of replenishing it... she exhausts half of her energy on menial daily works, she can't last ten...no five minutes on the battlefield with primas."
"Oh my God, I think the young Lord is sick, he is even saying all sorts of things." The maid behind the head maid said in a shaky voice.
Ana grinned while slapping my head, I could barely feel her tap but compared to before her size had gotten slightly bigger.
"As expected of my Goshujin, You managed to pull it in nine hours." She said happily.
Those were words of relief to me..
"I think I'm going to faint..." I said faintly as I looked at the head maid, whose beauty did not seem to be fading even though she was aging. My eyes slowly went dim, I couldn't even tell whether they were opened or closed, perhaps that was because of the swell. I slowly fell into her arms as I lost consciousness.

>Knights Quarters<
The seven knights that had a little rumpus with me yesterday all stood in front of Reilfreid, who folded his arm and angrily stared at them.
"We truly apologise Sir Reilfreid, all we wanted to do was push the young Lord to his limit." Knight Gustav, the guy that instigated all of it said.
"I take that, seven people going against a child who was not even armed is pushing him to his limit, one of you would have been enough but seven of you? How shameless. The Duke will not let this slide. Even right now, I'm burning with the desire to grill your heads and give it to the bears for dinner, but the Duke has decided to put your judgement into the hands of the very one you wronged." He looked over to Denethor who humbly bowed his head.
"Knight Denethor, I will confiscate your vassal weapon, you have proved that you do not deserve to be a prima..." He said, stretching out his hand. Knight Denethor removed the silver sword that was hung on his belt and placed it in his hand.
Afterwards, Alfred arrived and said something into his ears. He looked at Denethor.
"It seems your aunt has arrived, I'm sure by now she'll be hearing of your disgraceful act. Lock them all up." He said and walked away.
Immediately other Knights gently escorted them to the prison.
