These Riddles Again?

Question

With the beginning, I can make you totally emotionless

Add a few letters to it and you can even find a special kind of school

In the middle, a special kind of energy awaits you

Something that flows in every living thing, they say

The ending is quite a short one

But it is actually what you do to this riddle

What am I?

Hint (Usefulness Level : 0)

This word is not commonly used in daily conversations

Hint (Usefulness Level : 1)

This word consists of 13 letters

Hint (Usefulness Level : 1 again)

You need to use mathematics when doing (The word)

Hint (Usefulness Level : 2)

The special school in the second line was created a very long time ago (BC)

Hint (Usefulness Level : 2)

The word is actually a part of a subject at school

Hint (Usefulness Level : 2)

What I meant by few letters in the second line was 3 letters exactly

Note :

Will add more hints if no one gets it after a while

Maybe I might make a Riley Riddle, too. My most recent one is admittedly pretty lazy, so I might just make a better one to make up for it :) — Mr Pie, Aug 24 '18 at 11:19
I will post one very shortly... perhaps $5$ minutes (max) :D — Mr Pie, Aug 24 '18 at 12:10
Is the prefix the full name of the special school or just part of it? — Hazel へいぜる, Aug 29 '18 at 02:42
Well, from the prefix (It's the prefix right since it's the beginning) you add just a few letters and it becomes a school. Will edit my post @PerpetualJ — Kevin L, Aug 29 '18 at 02:43
Hrmmmmm just out of curiosity can we get a century or country of origin on the school or will that give it away too easily? Did a search on old schools and there are hundreds. — Hazel へいぜる, Aug 29 '18 at 02:47
Well, that didn’t help either haha gonna keep digging, solid schools are recorded with names to the sixth century, everything before that is mostly focused on biblical teachings and there aren’t very many names, maybe with luck I can narrow it down lol — Hazel へいぜる, Aug 29 '18 at 02:53
Yea, I didn't want to make the riddle too easy but will add another hint tomorrow:) — Kevin L, Aug 29 '18 at 05:00
Any new hints coming today? Hoping to solve this one as I feel like I'm getting close. — Hazel へいぜる, Aug 29 '18 at 15:13

All the hints add up as well

Is it

Resolving

With the beginning, I can make you totally emotionless

Resolve, a strong resolve can make you hard to sway

In the middle, a special kind of energy awaits you

Sol, short for solar energy

Last but not least, the ending is what you are doing to this riddle (I guess)

Solving!

sorry wrong answer mate :) Gonna add a hint – Kevin L Aug 24 '18 at 12:01
I think the first one was kind of a stretch and the last part was half correct (find another word that has similar meaning for the ending part. Nevertheless, nice answer :D – Kevin L Aug 24 '18 at 13:58
Hmmm, let's see what we can do here – R.D Aug 27 '18 at 04:08
@KevinL is the last part rot13(qrpvcure) ? – R.D Aug 27 '18 at 04:10
Sorry but that's wrong :) – Kevin L Aug 27 '18 at 04:14
I'll wait for a hint XD – R.D Aug 27 '18 at 04:15
Very well, will add one shortly :) – Kevin L Aug 27 '18 at 04:16
Thanks. Gave it an upvote so more people can look into it – R.D Aug 27 '18 at 04:16
Thank you, I'll probably add another hint tomorrow ;) – Kevin L Aug 27 '18 at 04:18

Okay, so I know this is an incredibly off the wall shot here, but....

Chuanqiandian? - Relating to the West Hmongic branch of the Miao languages.

special kind of school - make you emotionless

Chuan (pronounced QUAN, 拳) is used to identify schools of Chinese martial arts.

a special kind of energy awaits you - flows in every living thing

Qi (variant spelling of chi) - vital energy that is held to animate the body internally. However, I believe the true infix is going to be chi.

a short one - what you do to this riddle

Diǎn (典) - to be in charge of. I am in charge of this riddle. :D Gave me a good laugh anyways.

Hint 1

I have never actually seen, spoke, or heard of this word. :)

Hint 2

Is only 13 letters long.

The wikipedia page of Chi redirects to Qi, so I think you're right there (maybe it's the more common spelling?). (But I do agree, if I were to say, Chi, I'd probably use Chi or Ki). – Joe-You-Know Aug 28 '18 at 21:30
Did you take it from my comment (the qi part) – Duck Aug 29 '18 at 00:16
The energy part is correct but the others are not – Kevin L Aug 29 '18 at 01:47
Is it my first or second guess on the infix? – Hazel へいぜる Aug 29 '18 at 02:29
The Qi part although the other word was what I meant (Chi) @PerpetualJ. Btw, should I add another hint? – Kevin L Aug 29 '18 at 02:33
I would like to say yes, because I’m stuck too. I posted this answer because it made me laugh. Adding another hint is up to you; but I would love one! – Hazel へいぜる Aug 29 '18 at 02:40
@PerpetualJ Yup just added one. I might have made this riddle a little too difficult :) – Kevin L Aug 29 '18 at 02:42

Also regarding Hint 3, the word includes Rot13(puv), which could represent the letter $\chi$ in Greek, and which (ROT13) vf nyfb eryngrq gb zngurzngvpf nf gur terrx nycunorg vf hfrq dhvgr bsgra va vg. – Mr Pie Aug 29 '18 at 11:52
That would be not only mean, but really clever! – Hazel へいぜる Aug 29 '18 at 15:10

This is probably wrong, but

Are you reinforcement?

With the beginning, I was made into a special kind of school

But I can still totally make you emotionless

Rein referring to reining in your horse, so like an equestrian school. The second part refers to reining in your passions, which means to hide your emotions.

n the middle, a special kind of energy awaits you

Something that flows in every living thing, they say

The force, as Yoda says, "Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter."

The ending is quite a short one

But it is actually what you do to this riddle

Cement. We are trying to cement our answers?

Hint 1:

It's not really a word you use regularly unless you're playing DnD or in Construction.

Hint 2:

Reinforcement is 13 letters long.

Unfortunately you're incorrect :). Just added a hint :) – Kevin L Aug 29 '18 at 01:46 — Kevin L, Aug 29 '18 at 01:46
