Diane kept cutting the wood in the backyard, which was quite spacious than she thought.She swung the ax hundreds of times and cut dozens of logs, but she didn’t experience anything different.“You said I’ll feel something, but I’m not feeling anything,” she complained to Jamie who was shaving his beard.“Well, I’m not surprised. Your talent is rock-bottom,” he replied.“Ugh, I’m asking for your advice.”“I’ve already shown you the path. You just need to keep doing it,” Jamie said. “Aura isn’t something you can just manifest just from swinging the ax a hundred or a thousand times.”“Then why the hell did you give me this task?” Diane tossed the ax away.“You have to swing it a million times,” Jamie added.Diane’s mouth dropped. “W-What? A million times? Are you trying to kill my shoulders?”“Shoulders are the most mobile joints in the human body. They are only going to get stronger since ax-cutting movement is natural,” Jamie said. “Don’t ask questions and keep doing what you’re told.

Denver was talking with someone on the mobile. “Yes, Mr. Darrell. I plan to invest in your bank, so I would like it if you come to the event tonight and show your support to me.”“I have heard that you bought a rare item for billions of dollars, sir,” Darrell, the president of Den bank, said. “Do you still have enough money to invest in my bank? If so, how many shares can you buy?”“As much as thirty percent,” Denver replied.Darrell’s eyes grew wide for a second, but then he squinted his eyes. “Are you aware of what you’re saying, sir? Though the public information says that Den bank is worth only a few billion dollars, if we add all of our hidden assets, its real worth is actually close to six trillion dollars. We’re worth more than the GDP of Britain and India combined.“Unless you have at least two trillion dollars, you can’t invest the percentage you said you would. While I don’t doubt the Hawkers’ economy, I doubt you have enough say to get two trillion dollars out of your famil

Diane put her everything into the swings, while making sure that the ax cut the logs as cleanly as she could.One thing she realized was that the logs Jamie had reattached were harder to cut than before.But she didn’t let that stop her.Taking Sandy’s guidance, she optimized her swinging movement. As she kept doing it, she forgot about time.She was supposed to be completely tired, but her muscles were pulling out every last bit of energy reserves she had.Many minutes later, she arrived at a state where every swing trembled the tips of her fingers to the ends of her hairs.At the same time, her swings now got much cleaner, and the sound they made was also strikingly different from the morning.From inside the home, Jamie could hear the sound of the ax moving through the air, and it brought a surprised smile on his face.“She’s achieved that state already. It doesn’t seem like a fluke since she’s been maintaining that state for five minutes now.”He walked out through the back door,
