Bab 47: 3
The next morning at the shelter began, as usual, with a light hum of voices and the sound of dishes. I tried to remain inconspicuous, moving along the usual route: dining room, courtyard, classes. It looked mundane, but I was actually thinking about a plan.
I got access to outdoor training, albeit limited. Now it's time to deepen the development of the chakra and, if possible, find new ways to raise your level.
After focusing, I decided to start by strengthening my chakra control. Yesterday's attempts were successful, but not enough. I was going to have a normal workout today.
During another walk in the yard, I went to the old tree. The teacher gave me a suspicious look, but didn't say anything. I sat down at the roots, pretending that I was just playing with a branch I found. However, I was actually focusing on the chakra.
Closing my eyes, I began to slowly channel the energy into my limbs. This time, I imagined it as a flowing river that should move smoothly, without jerks. The flow became more stable, and after a few minutes I managed to keep the chakra on my fingertips.
The next stage was an attempt to use the chakra externally. I tore off the paper and put it on my forehead, holding it with my hand. At first, nothing worked — I just sat there, trying to imagine how the leaf would stick. After several unsuccessful attempts, I realized that the problem was the lack of understanding of how the chakra should feel on the surface.
I changed my approach: now, holding the paper with my hand, I focused on any unusual sensations in the forehead area. On the fourth attempt, I managed to fix the sheet without using my hand. It was a minor but important success. Over the course of an hour, I gradually stabilized this feeling, achieving a longer and longer hold.
However, the training was interrupted. In order not to arouse suspicion, I had to periodically leave my secluded corner and appear in full view of the caregivers. It slowed down my progress, but it allowed me to maintain my freedom of action.
Lunch became the inevitable starting point of the afternoon. After a meal and a little cleaning, we were taken out into the courtyard again. I realized that training with the chakra here would be too risky, so I chose another method.
I "perked up" with the kids and started offering them different games. The games were of a different nature, the main task for me from these games was cheating. I thought this was the most harmless way to digest a scammer at the moment. Although I needed other children not to understand my cheating, it should have been obvious to the teachers, in this case they acted as spectators who gave feedback.
When the walk came to an end, we were returned to the building. The evening was spent on light physical exercises: I performed simple movements that strengthened my body and helped me focus.
After dinner, when we were put to bed, I started a dream-telling session. This ritual became my regular practice — it allowed me to collect fragments of information and try to solve riddles that could be useful in the future.
The next week was monotonous, but productive. I continued to improve my chakra control while maintaining a regular daily routine so as not to attract too much attention to myself. Training with the leaf on my forehead gradually became easier: I could hold it for hours, although the process remained fully conscious and required constant concentration. It was a clear progress that allowed me to move on to the next stage.
One morning, choosing a moment when the tutors were busy, I went to the old tree. It has become my constant assistant in training. After making sure no one was watching, I put my hand to the trunk and concentrated. I imagined the chakra as a viscous substance, like honey, that gently spreads under the skin and is absorbed into the wood. After a few minutes, I felt a faint connection with the surface of the crust. It was a strange feeling, but it was the right one to keep me in place.
Gradually, I made the task more difficult by trying to transfer part of the chakra to my feet. The first attempt failed: the distribution turned out to be unstable, and the connection with the tree immediately weakened. I stopped to focus, and mentally imagined how the energy from the foot connects with the palm of my hand, forming a single contour. The attempt was more successful, but the fragility of the balance remained noticeable.
With each new attempt, I tried to adjust the chakra distribution. My breathing slowed down, my body relaxed, and I gradually learned to channel my energy evenly. Over time, I managed to achieve stability: the chakra flowed smoothly, like a liquid, and allowed me to stay on the tree a little longer.
The most difficult moment was lifting the second leg. As soon as I shifted the weight, the connection with the tree weakened, and I inevitably fell. However, even these failures did not seem like a step back to me. On the contrary, I continued to experiment, changing approaches and analyzing errors.
After a few days of such training, I was able to confidently stay on the tree, moving around its trunk in circles. My movements still required full concentration, but the flow of chakra became more stable. I tried not to rise above a meter to avoid unnecessary attention.
After each workout, I carefully checked to see if anyone had noticed my actions. Just in case, I always went into the caregivers' field of view, pretending that I was just playing or relaxing. This helped to deflect suspicion and preserve freedom for further training.
Looking back at my successes, I thought about the reasons for the rapid progress. Working with wood seemed more difficult than holding a leaf, but surprisingly, the results showed up faster. I came to the conclusion that it was the approach: in both cases, I focused on the sensations, which helped to better understand the process of controlling the chakra.
I was also confused by the fact that training with the chakra was practically not tiring. It made me think about the reasons. According to my recollections, the chakra consists of two components: spiritual and physical energy. Both of these aspects have probably improved due to my consistent practice and development. This most likely affected the total volume of my chakra.
However, the question remained: are these energies increasing at the same time, or do they also affect the potential for its further development? If so, then perhaps my training not only helps at the current stage, but also lays the foundation for something more. It opened up new perspectives, but it also required additional thought.
