Chapter 21: Early morning activities
After a couple of minutes of following the officers, Shaan finally arrived at the open field. He could see all the sleepy faces of the amateur daemonists sitting on the grass of the field, wearing their sleeping clothes. Strange, what does all this mean?
"Please take a seat and find an empty spot. Wait until all the other Daemonists arrive, and Mr. Luis will begin today’s activities immediately."
"Yes, I understand."
Shaan slowly walked past the other Daemonists and tried to find an empty spot. However, it was not easy to find an empty spot. Almost all the spots, especially the one in the center of the field, were filled, so he decided to look for a spot quite far away from that position.

This will certainly be very useful for Daemonists like us," he stated, then returned to sitting with his legs crossed on the grass. "Alright, then it’s time we start the meditation exercise. Watch closely and pay attention to what I’m doing."
With an upright sitting posture, Mr. Luis raised both of his hands upward and then placed them on the ground. He then closed his eyes, inhaled, and exhaled slowly two to three times with increasingly steady breathing.
’Hmm... strange. I don’t see anything at all." Shaan rubbed his eyes repeatedly. "Is it possible that what Mr. Lius said is-"
