After Wong left, Peter continued reading, but not at a normal human speed.
When Wong returned and saw Peter with another book, he thought Peter had just changed his interest and grabbed another book.
But I was wrong.
Peter had already recorded the information from the first book in his mind and had begun scanning the information from the second book.
It must be said that the books in the New York sanctuary library weren't thin, they were very thick, so the fact that Peter finished a book of his size so quickly was incredible.
For the past 2 weeks Peter has meditated at night.
These nights of meditation leave Peter with many advantages.
The first advantage is the increased control of internal energies.
The second is that Peter can replace sleep with meditation, so Peter wakes up in perfect condition.
Best of all, Peter's meditation is so efficient, he only needs to meditate for a few hours to replace 8 hours of sleep.
The third advantage that meditation has given Peter is control of his mind.
Peter has discovered a kind of mental space where he can see and manipulate all his memories.
Little by little, Peter is building a mental palace where he protects his mind and stores a lot of information.
Every time Peter turned the pages of a book in the sanctuary's library, similar pages appeared in his mental space.
And when I finished, all the pages were combined into a single book.
When Wong returned, Peter had already recorded the first book in his mind space.
After Wong left afterwards and left Peter to continue reading, Peter wasted no time and devoured one by one the books near him.
For now, Peter will only record books in English and other languages that Peter understands.
When it was time for lunch Peter stopped and looked for Wong to ask what they eat here.

After lunch, Peter returned to the library to continue reading. He only stopped when he finished the books Wong said Peter was allowed to read as an apprentice.
Since it was almost 5 p.m., Peter decided to go back and review everything he recorded in his mental space.
Peter didn't take long to leave the New York sanctuary. Since Wong had already mentioned during lunch that he needed to do something, Peter had already said goodbye and told him to come back another day so Wong could test Peter's knowledge of ancient languages like Sanskrit.
In less than an hour, Peter was back home and let himself in the door with his key.
"I'm home" Peter shouted, hoping May would answer him.
"I'm in the living room," Peter heard May yell at him.
When Peter arrived in the living room, he found May watching a movie while eating some snacks.
"Do you want some?" he asked further as he offered Peter the tray and stepped aside to give Peter some space.
"Sure," Peter accepted the tray and ate an alfajor as he sat next to May.
"What are you watching?" Peter asked as he stretched out on the couch.
"It's a romantic movie that came out last year," May replied.
"Is it good?" Peter asked.
Shrugging, May replied, "It's decent enough to make me want to see it again."
Peter accepted May's statement about the film shortly after.
The movie wasn't entirely cliché, but the viewer could already guess what would happen in the end due to the clues in the movie.
Peter and May watched the whole movie while eating snacks.
After the movie ended, May went to prepare dinner and Peter went to help her.
The rest of the night passed quickly, and Peter had to give May a shoulder massage at her insistence.
Peter had no problem with that.
During the last week, seeing that May was coming home tired from work, Peter offered to give her a shoulder and foot massage.
Something interesting that happened when Peter was giving May a massage was that he found another useful use for his spider sense.
Every time he was about to cause May pain, his spider sense warned him.
But it worked on other occasions too.
When Peter wanted to make May feel good, his spider sense also warned him and guided him to which areas to squeeze and which areas to rub.
Peter became very good at this, so May has Peter give her a massage every night.
As he saw that May went from being very tired from her work to being very relaxed after the massage, Peter did it with more enthusiasm.

After his first visit to the New York sanctuary, Peter continued to visit when May went to work at the hospital.
In the mornings he helped May clean the house and exercised his body.
Since he could now buy more food, Peter casually increased the intensity of his training.
In the afternoon, after May went to work at the hospital, Peter would get on a bus and go to the sanctuary in New York.
And if May had different shifts, Peter chose that moment to visit the New York sanctuary.
'I hope they give me a sling ring soon,' was Peter's thought as he rode on the bus.
A Honda ring is a mystical object that allows its wearer to create a portal or interdimensional link to a specific location.
Honda rings are small artifacts that serve to create and maintain portals between two points on the planet and also, although it requires extra effort, throughout the entire Multiverse.
Masters of the Mystic Arts use them to facilitate their long-distance travel by creating a temporary link to their destination.
When conjuring the portal, the ring is usually worn on the left hand, while with the right hand, the sorcerer must trace a circular pattern pointing toward the place where the entrance is to appear. This artifact should always be in a sorcerer's inventory, and is carried attached to the belt of their uniform or robe.
If Peter had a sling ring, he wouldn't have to travel by bus to the New York sanctuary.
The lack of a sling ring in his possession is one of the reasons why Peter has not yet gone to take down another gang.
The other reason Peter didn't start hunting gangs at night is that he's not ready to do another hunt yet.
Even if Peter doesn't get depressed about killing, it takes him a while to get over the heavy feeling in his stomach he gets every time he remembers what happened.
Peter can only remind himself every time that these guys are no longer human beings.
By doing such disgusting things without caring about the suffering of others, they have already abandoned their humanity.
Those guys are no longer human, they are now animals.
And when animals get out of control, they don't lock them up so they can think and repent for their actions.
Animals that get out of control are euthanized.
At least that's what Peter tells himself to make the heavy feeling in his stomach go away.
For now, Peter spends his time increasing his magical knowledge and training his body.
After studying at the sanctuary, Peter takes the same bus and returns home.
That's Peter's routine in the mornings and afternoons.
He spends his evenings with May, having dinner at home and watching a movie or going out to eat.
As usual, May doesn't forget to have Peter massage her muscles to relax them.
Peter can't complain about anything.
'Who told me to be so good at this?' Peter thought.
Plus, May is beautiful, so Peter has no complaints about becoming her personal masseuse.
Since May works every day to pay the bills, Peter has no problem relieving her stress a little by helping her with the housework.
Although Peter hasn't done anything inappropriate, May is still a beautiful woman, so there will inevitably be awkward moments during the massage.
But Peter is not a desperate virgin.
Although he only had a few experiences in college and going to a brothel with his friends, he's not a horny guy who will bother every woman who stands in front of him.
So thanks to his state of mind thanks to all the hours of meditation and control of his body, Peter was able to relax his body quickly and hide the evidence and not make the moment more awkward.
'Thank goodness May didn't notice something,' thought Peter.
