Chapter Eight The Child and the Sledgehammer

 When the initial shock subsided, Calvin gradually calmed down. He began to think about an obvious question:

"What they see are these walls. Or...influenced by the nature of the soul, all they can see are walls!"

While thinking, he returned his perspective to normal until the ball that symbolized his soul became the size of a table tennis ball again.

Looking at the sphere in front of him, a fact that made him feel shuddering and uneasy was placed in front of him: as an outsider, his soul was fundamentally different from the people in this universe.

And the black gem in front of him is far less docile than it appears now when faced with people other than himself.

Calvin opened his hand and gently held it in his palm, watching the sphere float quietly in his palm.

The black lightning that was originally as thick as a giant tree became almost invisible from this perspective... But Calvin, who had already had a close observation, was no longer deceived by these appearances.

He already understood how majestic the sphere in front of him, or his own essence, was compared to the soul of the native species in this universe. And how powerful the current as subtle as silk was when facing others.

The violence.

A lot of information about his soul itself was conveyed to his consciousness at the first sight of those pictures:

"Lightning is composed of spiritual energy, which is the energy that maintains the operation of the sphere, and is also the weapon that protects his own integrity. The broken walls are the memories and emotions lost during his soul's journey to this universe."

This is the conclusion that Calvin came to during this observation. It turns out that after 14 years of slow recovery, the spiritual energy in his soul has approached the minimum standard for rekindling more than once.

But in addition to spiritual energy, the loss of the soul, which is the main substance that makes up the sphere, cannot be restored by itself.

Therefore, the subconscious-dominated sphere can only instinctively try to rekindle its consciousness every time it has enough psychic energy.

But without enough soul fragments of intelligent beings and the emotions carried on them, the failure of the restart operation is inevitable.

And he could only have the opportunity to observe this body that was mentally deficient because it had no soul at the moment when the ignition failed.

If Calvin just waits like this, waiting for his body to age step by step until he dies, he will never be able to wait until the day he regains consciousness. What a despair it will be.

After waiting for 14 years, the witch by chance filled up the last one-billionth gap for him, giving him a chance to see the light of day again.

The long wait is excruciating, but it is not a bad thing. It is precisely because of this that Calvin has 14 years to allow his body to grow sufficiently, and then when he regains consciousness in the future, he can barely withstand the pressure from his soul.

The terrifying spiritual pressure.

During these days on the ship, he had the opportunity to understand that in most cases, the strength of a psyker is actually inversely proportional to the strength of his body in reality.

After all, most people with powerful spiritual powers are born with them. The powerful but uncontrollable power creates unequal oppression on the undeveloped body. This also prevents most people from developing normally.

Except for a few weirdos who were born in the wild world, it is almost a law for this group of people that the stronger the psychic energy, the thinner the body.

A person like Calvin who can give his body enough time to develop before picking up psychic talents is unique in the entire empire's recorded history.

This is also the reason why his subconscious can’t wait to feed himself back after digesting the “offerings” from the witches.

In terms of the soul his body carries, his bear-like strong body is still completely incomparable.

Fortunately, in the short time after he regained consciousness, he neither thought nor had the chance to use this power. (A group of Sisters of Silence patrolled around him 24 hours a day...)

Otherwise, even a child swinging a sledgehammer would not be enough to describe his danger. Thinking of this, Calvin touched the back of his head with some fear.

Before releasing the first bolt of psychic lightning, it would probably be the happiest way for him to die...

One day later, the Mariachi, which was allowed to enter the port, was finally captured by the moon's gravity and slowly docked in the towering star port in orbit.

After successfully docking with the spacecraft at the docking port, the cargo represented by Calvin was carefully transferred in batches to the staff of Star Language Court stationed on the moon.

This is also Calvin's first opportunity to observe closely the airport that best represents the prosperity of the empire.

Countless huge cargo ships and locusts are constantly coming in and out of the star port built around the entire moon's gravitational orbit.

After unloading the special products and materials produced from various planetary worlds, they hurriedly drove away.

And these massive supplies are only a part of the daily shipping system that the empire maintains.

His career as a veteran in his previous life also allowed him to see through the prosperity in front of him, and the territory it supports spans the entire galaxy, and sits on a huge empire with hundreds of millions of armored soldiers. How powerful and arrogant it is.

Without staying too long, Calvin and his fellow travelers, who were "sensitive materials", were quickly taken to the spacecraft in batches by heavily armed guards and flew to their assigned units.

Far away from Saturn on the other side of the sun, a gray spacecraft with the same destination also quietly sailed towards Terra from Rhea...

The spaceship carrying Calvin also carried five children of similar age. Their exquisite clothes were in sharp contrast to Calvin, who only wore a set of gray training uniforms issued by the black ship.

They did not show off to Calvin because of this. To be more precise, they ignored Calvin.

These children from extraordinary families have obviously received a sufficiently good elite education since childhood.

This made them face a strong man who was 210 centimeters tall and weighed over 130 kilograms at close range. Except for the leader who raised his eyebrows slightly when they first met, they had no other expression.

Soon, the spacecraft carrying Calvin landed on the landing pad in a corner of the majestic palace complex in the Himalayas.

The destination of their trip is also the Star Yuting’s training institution for all junior psykers - City of Vision, they have arrived.

There were already people waiting on the tarmac. After reading out the personnel numbers, these people in black robes led the corresponding students and left.

The same goes for Calvin. He followed the guide in front and walked silently to the main square in the distance.

Calvin saw a huge square in the distance that almost exceeded the limit of his field of vision. The Romanesque buildings at the end of the square were numerous and solemn. On the main building in the middle, a huge striped battle flag hung from top to bottom.

In the center of a pure black background is a red eye with a sun crown and two wings. It is the emblem of the City of Vision, the alma mater of all registered psykers under the Empire's Astral Court.

After a full 2 ​​hours, the group finally reached a tower on the edge of the building complex.

This is also their living area. After receiving basic living supplies, a set of black robes, and two sets of black training uniforms at the door, Calvin was assigned to a single dormitory.

The facilities in the room include only a bed and a set of tables and chairs.

It was 7 o'clock on Terra time. After a brief wash, Calvin, who had been too active during the day, quickly fell asleep.

At the same time, a figure taller than Calvin had just stepped off a Thunderhawk assault boat. When a large pick-up team saw this man's figure from a distance, they all jumped up.

Ying Li knelt down and read:

"In the name of the Emperor, we would like to represent the Star Yuting Psionics Seminary. Welcome to your arrival, respected Grand Master Aidan."
