4 Completing Foundation (1/2)
Over the next few days besides caring for his mother all Sagar did was focus on circulating his internal energy all over his body. He's been close to completing the cycle several times since yesterday but the energy still refuses to finish the last home stretch. It wasn't until two days later that he would finally complete the full cycle of his internal energy.
As soon as he did he felt a rush of power fill his entire being with his internal energy flowing all over inside him. It seemed as if the energy was blood, he could feel every bit of it and how it moved through his veins with the congregation that he formed acting as if it were a heart in that without his control it sent the energy all over his body.
The energy itself looked colorless with streaks of gold flowing through them. Sagar figured that this was the life energy property that his internal energy developed. From what he knows internal energy is colorless for the most part unless it develops attunement towards a certain element but it's not something Sagar needs to think about for the moment.
Opening his eyes Sagar stood up and began stretching as he prepared to see how strong he was right now. He wasn't exactly sure how to test it though so he was just going to pick up something relatively heavy like that barrel sized rock nearby. Usually somebody of his age wouldn't even think about attempting to lift it but he felt like it was possible now.
Sagar wanted to first see how much his basic strength has been boosted, basically how strong he was without actively controlling and moving his internal energy. Coming up to the rock Sagar found some ridges that he could hold so that he wouldn't just hug the rock and be in a awkward stance. He then started to lift the rock and managed to move it up a few inches before he felt that he would probably hurt himself if he tried raising it anymore.
Dropping the rock Sagar started to take heavy breaths as he did exhaust himself a bit attempting his feat. He rested for about fifteen minutes and prepared to test his boost in power when he actual used his internal energy. Sagar took a breath, focused for a moment and started feeling his internal energy empower him. He then felt a lot more ease when he lifted the rock this time around and while he was able to lift it higher than he did earlier he wasn't able raise it over his head.
Putting the rock down again Sagar didn't feel tired at all and he was impressed with his gain of strength, at least considering he was only five years old. He even felt that if he focused his energy on certain body parts he could make them even stronger but he really didn't need to test that right now.
'System can you show me my stats for me?', Sagar thought as he wanted to see how they changed with his gain in power.
Looking at them he saw that his strength increased to three, his agility and vitality increased to two while his magic remained at one. This was pretty much along the lines that Sagar thought they would increase to and he only had a question which he quickly raised to the system.
'Do my stats convey my full power or just what it is at that moment in time?', to which the system responded in it's usual manner.
[The User's stats convey what the present maximum he is able to achieve.]
Nodding his head Sagar decided he was done for the day and went back inside. As he was walking in he saw his mother looking at him in a strange way. He was sort of confused but could narrow down a few reasons as to why she would be.
”Sagar come here for moment let me have a look at you.”, Beatrice beckoned her son over because she wanted to confirm something. She usually spends all day reading as there was not much else she could do in her condition and while her son was practicing outside she didn't pay it any mind. She trusted him and felt that he wouldn't do anything he shouldn't at least not without telling her.
What changed today was that a bit earlier she felt fluctuations that could only be felt from a warrior but she thought it was impossible. A week ago when her son started his training she at least expected for it to take a couple of months maybe even a year before he actually completed the circulation of his energy. This was taking into consideration his natural intelligence as that would help him out by a good margin but she didn't think he would have the talent as well. She didn't have any talent in internal energy and neither did any in her family at least according to what she knows. Garris' family had talent in internal energy but they were considered average among their peers with Garris himself being one of the more talented children in his family's generation.
