He then signaled them to leave, and not bother him at all. He didn't really care about what they wanted to do, as long as it didn't involve him.
He then went upstairs after eating his dinner, took a refres.h.i.+ng bath, and then went to bed. The barrier surrounding his house was already removed, but he had placed several traps and pitfalls if anyone were to invade his home again.

Once the two beings left, Cenele immediately flew her destination unknown. Michel, on the other hand, went to follow Cenele, as he had the mission to convert her into the path of Heaven.
"Cenele, come on! It's been 600,000 years. Are you not tired of this? Return back with me, and let me plead on your behalf!"
"I'm not an idiot, Michel. I know what they'll attempt to do with my powers and my very existence. I have heard stories and personally saw someone do it to a friend of mine. I will never want to experience that!"
Michel sighed, as he could not deny what Cenele had said. After all, he had seen many, many others being "purified" and even partic.i.p.ate in some of them.
"Then you leave me no choice. I'll have to do it by force." Michel quickly sped up, attempting to reach Cenele. Her, being prepared, immediately s.h.i.+fted the dimension she was located in, causing Michel to stop, and then trace where she was going through the small spatial trace the Cenele produced when she changed dimensions.
However, to his surprise, he couldn't find a trace of her at all! It wasn't blocked, rather, it didn't exist in the first place! This left him dumbfounded for a bit before he shook his head and attempted to trace her somewhere else.
Cenele continued to move through different dimensions, before realizing that it's been a long time since Michel located her, causing her to be suspicious.
She then did a quick scan and was surprised that her dimensional movement was not causing any fluctuations. She was surprised, before being confused, and then being wary. She knew her current abilities would not allow her to experience such a benefit, so someone must have cast it before she had left.
Could it be? It's that kid earlier, Cenele thought to herself, before shaking her head. She made a vow. She can't come and disturb him or else she'll return to h.e.l.l or the Abyss, which were quite gloomy despite their progression in housing and education. Not only that, but she would also be controlled by the Fallen since she failed her vow. Ugh, not a good day.
Anyhow, with this, they are both even now, hehe. I don't know how long this lasts, but I'll leave this planet and travel somewhere else.
"Hehe, Thank you boya, but I hope we don't meet again in the future," Cenele whispered quietly as if she a.s.sumed that Xander could hear her voice.
However, little did they know, back in the villa, Xander was smiling, his hand drifting down his bed, his eyes closed. After a while, light snores could be heard.

Xander woke up the next morning a bit sleepy. He took a bath and dressed up, before heading to the school campus by teleporting to a vacant, secluded area of the campus.
He headed to the Magic Training building and went straight to the second floor to eat breakfast. They had good dishes served for today, which was good. For the next few hours, he was just eating and browsing the website.
He headed to his cla.s.s 15 minutes before it started, and began to talk to his cla.s.smates, as well as with Faykes and the others. The cla.s.s proceeded smoothly, and they began their Magic meditation successfully. Once again, some of the students continue to have an easy experience of entering Magic meditation with Xander's help. For the rest of the cla.s.s, nothing went awry, to the delight of Ms. Lim. The cla.s.s finished and Xander left, with Faykes and Maryann following him to the 2nd floor of the Elemental Control building. Xander ordered his food, with the duo also eating and chatting with one another. After a few minutes of eating, Valerie and Carly appeared in the cafeteria, and also joined the trio in their table. Mostly, they were sharing their experiences with one another, as well as throwing ideas concerning their respective spells.
After an hour of eating, Xander and the rest went downstairs and began to talk to the other students. The cla.s.s was about to start, and Ms. Amelia had already entered the building.
She gave a quick overview and let everyone settle into their groups. However, just as they began to move, Xander raised his hand, wanting to ask a question.
"Yes, Mr. Cloverfield?"
"Ms. Wineheart, Is it possible for me to group with the following people? I might not be going to school tomorrow as I have to submit a school mission tomorrow, overseas. I plan to demonstrate Biconscious control to them and leave them to their own devices afterward."
Ms. Amelia was taken aback upon receiving the list of students, before thinking of another way for the whole cla.s.s to learn conductively.
"Ok, how about this: You demonstrate it for the whole cla.s.s to see, and also demonstrate it with these students you have selected. Are you ok with that?"
Xander thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
Ms. Amelia clapped her hands, catching the attention of the other students.
"Cla.s.s, today, we will have Mr. Cloverfield demonstrate to us the different Biconscious control types. He will also demonstrate the types of control against his sparring partners, which are Mr. Valentine, Mr. Corde, Ms. Verdny, Ms. d.y.k.es, Ms. Cordonez, and Ms. Bernoult."
Xander and his sparring partners moved quickly to the center of the training area, where Xander stood and looked around. He gestured that those behind him should move to the front to have a better view of the demonstration.
After the slight adjustments, Xander began discussing Biconscious control in his own understanding.
"When we hear biconscious control of elements, we a.s.sume it is conscious and subconscious control of the elements and elemental energy around the caster. But, which comes first? Is it conscious then subconscious, or the other way around?
In simple terms, it's both. Let me show you an example."
Xander waved his hand, and immediately Air elements were rapidly swirling around his hand, converging and merging. After a few seconds, it suddenly turned into small, tornado-like structures, by then Xander released it at the s.p.a.ce in front of him, causing them to gain traction and become 2 meters tall, before suddenly bursting into flames exploding in all directions. Everything that the flame touched rapidly turned into ice as well. Of course, Xander had prepared beforehand and had placed a thin barrier around the area of the demonstration.
"You can see me using conscious control of a specific element, merging them and causing them to interact to one another to form a simple Wind spell, [Tornado Field], layered with a subconscious control of causing it to react with Fire elements around, to configure the Fire elements to the desired spell, [Flame Explosion], another subconscious type of spell. It is then layered with a subconscious control layer of decreasing the temperature rather than increasing it to the things it touches, freezing them.
This is an example of a Conscious control to create a subconscious command, an air-type magic spell, having its own subconscious control layer which in turn gave forth to another subconscious control, a fire-type magic spell, which had its own subconscious control layer."
"However, you could also do the opposite, from subconscious control, or a magic spell, to conscious control. This one's a bit easier to do because it is similar to placing a subconscious control layer. Here's a sample."
Xander demonstrated it using [Crysis Core Blades]. He summoned three blades, each having a different color. He then created three ice sculptures in front of him.
He then launched the first blade into one of the sculptures. Once the first blade hit the sculpture, the latter visibly shattered, but it did not fall down the ground, but rather remained suspended in its form.
He then launched the second blade, which didn't cause the sculpture to shatter, but turn the ice into water, but still retained its shape. There was also no temperature change that occurred.
He launched the last blade, this time, the moment it touched the sculpture, a small radius around the statue was visibly crushed, with it being disintegrated into small, unidentifiable pieces, some of it producing flames, some producing tinkling sounds like it was metal being rubbed with one another.
"The first one is an example of a subconscious control producing a conscious-type of control in the form of the subconscious control layer. One it hits the target, the air would rapidly solidify around the target, locking it in place and form.
The second one is an example of subconscious control that had a conscious control. Basically, the ice molecules transformed into water molecules once again with the presence of water elements surrounding and inside the ice sculpture being affected by the spell.
The third is an example of subconscious control that leads to conscious control of random subtype. After it crushed the ice sculpture, it pulled in the available elements around, causing the phenomenon that was seen to occur in the first place."
Xander removed the barrier and called for the 6 students to enter. He then said to them,
"I'll now demonstrate a way for the magic spell to have a conscious effect of controlling, or affecting the elements being thrown at it, or around it. For now, I want you six to launch all your spells that have a secondary layer of subconscious control to me."
Immediately, the group did not hesitate. They launched all their spells, targeting Xander's location, who was just standing still.
After a few minutes, the area cleared, showing Xander with his fingers twirling all over, and the spells that the 6 students launched being distorted to the point that they were collapsing bit by bit.
The students were amazed at such control and speed coming from a 7-year old. After all, if they were bombarded like that, they would already have left the vicinity or be dead.
Xander then looked at the students, saying to them,
"I used my pseudo-cla.s.s spell, [5-elements Foundation], which generally allows me to use any of the 5 elements under Yin-yang, to destabilize the runic writings by affecting their respective elements. Once the spell absorbs the elements I have placed my control, it becomes a wrestling match between the target and the caster. If the target, in this case, me, wins the match, I get to steal their control of the spell, using the elements absorbed as the entry points. If I lose, I die. This is the best motivator to learn."
He then snapped his fingers, causing all the spells around him to disintegrate, and then reformed to simple elemental spells, which launched toward the 6 students, causing them to counteract using their own spells. All of their spells were rapidly destroyed and then absorbed by the spells released by Xander, however. The spells destroyed their barriers, before stopping in front of the targets, and then doing a peace sign before collapsing on its own.
"This time, I used the elements that were destroyed to formulate simple elemental spells, each equivalent to a Master rank spell. This is a conscious subconscious spell formation, which requires you to have an imagination of the intended effect, knowledge of the elements, and a sufficient amount of magic and elemental energy in your body. This kind of control, I don't really expect you guys to master easily. Usually, those in the DemiG.o.d cla.s.s or higher can do this, creating spells through their imagination, knowledge, and supply of energy. Of course, there are talented ones who can do it in the Mythic cla.s.s, so as long as you strive hard, it's not really impossible."
Upon hearing the first half of what Xander said, the students were amazed and were nodding in agreement. However, upon hearing the latter half, their faces twisted, looking strangely at Xander.
If only DemiG.o.d cla.s.s or higher can only begin doing this, and if you're talented you can start during the Mythic cla.s.s, what does that make you, a Master cla.s.s, who can do it?
After all, in Master cla.s.s, it is expected you form your own unique spells based on the pseudo-spells you have chosen. There was a foundational basis already for your newly-made, Master rank spell. It was different from what Xander just did; he didn't formally make a master rank spell, but rather emulated the power of it in a simple magic spell. He literally made a series of spells in just a snap of his fingers. There wasn't even chanting or the process of casting. It was as if the spells formulated itself from the conscious control of the elements.
Xander knew what was going on inside their minds, but he was unaffected. After all, he knew that he only got to this point after spending so much time in time accelerated fields, and pocket dimensions. If he didn't have this head start at all, he would probably have a slower pace than the others.
Xander then instructed the 6 to fight him one by one. The first one was Maryann.
Maryann didn't waste any time and cast her pseudo-spells, locking Xander in place using [Frost Nova] and freezing the surrounding area as well. She then prepared to cast [Devouring Firestorm], melting and absorbing the ice around Xander, making it stronger. Xander disabled the [Absolute Defense] and was just using a regular magic barrier, reinforced by almost every element he could control.
When the firestorm reached the barrier, some parts froze, but they were immediately removed by the magic barrier, returning it to normal. The fire continued to rage on but it couldn't get past the barrier.
Xander then cast two Ice-type spells, [Snowstorm] and [Ice Pike], freezing the field of fire, shattering them into bits, before reforming into 3 ice pikes 2.5 meters long each. As soon as they formed, they rapidly rotated, increasing their kinetic force and speed. He then launched it towards Maryann, who activated [Ice Cage] to protect herself and let it absorb the kinetic impact. The cage shattered after the first 2 pikes, and the 3rd one was heading straight to Maryann's head. However, 4 inches before it reached her, it stopped, before turning around and heading towards Xander.
Xander immediately countered with a [Fire Ball], creating 3 blasts and dispersing the ice shards from the explosion, evaporating them. Xander raised his hand, indicating the fight was over.
"Good job Maryann, you managed to delay enough time to understand how the [Ice Pike] worked by letting it hit the [Ice Cage] of yours. This is where the importance of delaying in a battle is important. You don't really need a very high comprehension, but just enough to understand the spell. Once you do, even if your opponent, like me, has a higher comprehension than yours, you can still exploit the way the spell was made."
"Not only that, but you also managed to demonstrate a bit of biconscious control. When you released your fire spell, you were actively controlling it to produce water molecules from the frozen ice around me, thus strengthening itself through its secondary layer control.
You could further improve this by consciously controlling the spell's temperature, so you can make ice and melt it alternately, creating a continuous loop of sustenance for the spell."
Maryann nodded, obviously happy with the bit of progress she had shown. She just needed more time and practice.
Xander then looked at Alexa, saying, "You're up."
Alexa headed straight to Xander, firing 2 [Air Blast] attacks, one of which transformed into a heavy kind of liquid material.
Xander easily evaded them and fired his own [Air Blades] as well as [Water Spears].
Alexa countered the first volley of attacks by using Air Vacuum, which also affected the presence of water molecules and water elements, distorting the spells Xander launched, allowing her to take the lead.
She then used [Summon Water Nymph], creating a small, delicate blue female to appear in front of her, her hair made up of waves, her body made of water.
After instructing it what to do, the Nymph began attacking Xander with a variety of water spells, forcing him to counter the spells with Ice and Fire. When his fire spell hit the Nymph, however, it just fizzled out of existence a few centimeters before it hit.
Xander rolled back, and cast 20 different Ice spells, as well 10 Air spells targeting the Nymph in the span of 3 seconds. Immediately, the Nymph completely froze and was shattered to ice pieces, before being ground to powder by the [Air Compression] spell.
Xander then said, only audible to Alexa, "This is an example of a thought-based spell, and why they are highly sought after in the magic community."
Upon hearing those words, Alexa was guarded, unsure how the spell would proceed. She didn't relax at all, yet she found herself with the other 5 students, with all of them as well as the students watching looking at her perplexed, with confusion, shock, and horror plastered in their looks.
Alexa was more confused. She asked Carly what happened, and showed the video of what happened in the last 20 seconds. It showed Xander merely smiling at Alexa, and then said,
"I think you should cast an Air Blast to yourself."
Immediately, she saw herself raise her hand and point it to herself, and an Air Blast was launched into her body, specifically on her shoulder. Alexa saw her body in the recording being flung high up and landing on the ground.
"What are you doing? I think you should stand up." Xander's voice continued to echo in the recording.
Immediately, to her horror, she saw in the recording that her body stood up, even with the bleeding shoulder with the visible bone and viscera.
"You should tap dance. After 5 seconds, you will do a headstand." Xander said, and to her horror, she still saw her body finish those actions as perfect as possible.
She was still bleeding, and then she heard Xander say,
"You will return to where the other 5 students are. Once you sit down, you will remember nothing."
She also saw in the recording her body being surrounded by a glowing green light, with her injuries visible and internal ones being healed. Once she reached the 5 other students, the light disappeared, and she still carried her alert expression.
"Everyone, you can see that Alexa had summoned a formidable water nymph, and if you weren't able to use fire to lower the temperature and freeze the enemy, you wouldn't be able to defeat it. Of course, other ways can be done, such as using the Radiation element to evaporate the water completely by exciting the water molecules and affecting the water element particles. You could also do an air-based attack, but this can be intercepted by someone who is proficient in Air element. One can absorb the water using Earth/metal element, but in the end, if it self-destructed, it can reform again."
"For our last demonstration, Faykes, come up front." Faykes looked different than before as if he was oozing with power and confidence that wasn't there the day before.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough to Master cla.s.s," Xander said to Faykes after eying him for a bit.
"Thanks. It was by luck last night." Faykes responded, obviously delighted. Before he broke through, he prepared the ritual concerning the bloodline curse, removing the 'binding' aspect of the spell, not affecting his magic circles whatsoever.
Those who heard this were surprised. Another one who broke through to Master cla.s.s? In their cla.s.s? This was unexpected news.
"Don't hesitate to use your Master cla.s.s spells and pseudo-spells," Xander said before he cast 2 spells, [Heavenly Divination] and prepared for [Apocalypse Down]. Since the latter was an array, he needed a few breaths of time to complete its casting. It was different from the s.p.a.ce-time spells that he can activate in a whim since the focus of this spell is the Yin-yang element. Similar to how he needed time to cast [Garden of Eden], as well as [Twilight Sonata].
Ms. Amelia, who was supervising the cla.s.s, heard a whisper in her ears,
"Ms. Wineheart, please evacuate the students up to 20 meters away. It's for their safety. I might not be able to heal or resurrect them if they are closer."
The same message appeared to the ears of the other 5 students, immediately retreating and gathering the students 20 meters away. Everyone was holding their breath. It was a showdown between 2 Master magicians, up close.
