"Hmmm not really sure myself . . . . maybe his ability to use almost all schools of magic seamlessly . If you can catch him at a good time you could always ask him how it was for him learning spells . " Professor Meha answered .
"I'll try!" I answer her feeling a little more hopeful .
"Well . . . if there anything else I can help you with? . . . " Professor Meha asked us .
"I think that's all . . . Thank you professor" Jay thanked her standing up .
"Ummm can you give me tips as a beginner? . . . . " I asked the professor politely .
"Hmmm . . . I would say . . . take it slow . . . everything will come to you, and sooner or later it will be second nature . " She smiled .
"Okay! Thank you . " I thanked her with a big smile waving goodbye .
Closing the door behind us, "Wow! Do you think you'll be as good as Paul?!" Jay asked frantically full of excitement .
"I really doubt that . . . . I've never been amazing at anything . . . " I replied to him .
"Don't be silly! Didn't you hear! This only ever happened to you and Paul!" He replied feeling way more excited than me .
"Let's go . . . and meet up with the others! I wonder what we could do . . . . . By the way you know their room number right? . . " I asked .
"Yeah . . . Helen told me at dinner . " He replied
"Cool let's go!" I said to him leading the way but then slowly slowing down letting him walk ahead of me .
"It's a bit fortuitous that you and Paul are friends as well so you can ask him about the pearl . " Jay said making conversation .
"Yeah . . . . kinda . . . . " I replied .
"So what's life like in your plane? . . " Jay asked .
"Ummm . . . . . Normal? . . . I don't have much else to compare it to . " I replied .
"What's it like having the strongest Sorcerers all coming from there? . . " He asked .
"Well . . . we don't actually use magic there . . . . . " I replied .
"Ohhhh . . . . " he replied sounding a bit confused and unsure what to ask next .
"We do have Technology . . . if that counts" I added .
"What's that? . . " He asked .
"It's like . . . the weapons and some other stuff is what we call technology . . . . so back in my plane we use electricity to power things to do things . . . . . " I tried to explain but realizing that it made more sense in my head .
"I see? . . . " He replied in understanding but sounding confused .
"Ahh well if you ever get the chance to visit you'll see . . . . " I replied .
"So just to make sure . . . No magic? . . " He asked
"Yup . . . . " I replied .
"That must be pretty weird . . . . . how do you grow food . . . . or kill monsters . . . or power cities? . . . " He asked .
"Well . . we rely on the natural weather to grow plants like rain and sun . . . . . There aren't really any monsters where I come from . . . . and cities . . Are powered with large factories producing electricity through various methods . . . " I answered him .
"Ohh I see . . . " He replied struggling to understand .
"How about here? . . . . " I asked curiously .
"Hmmmm so as you may know . . . . Arcanum is what we use to cast spells and enhance ourselves . . . . . But the energy that powers inanimate objects are powered with Visium power cells . . . . . " He answered .
"Visium power cells? . . . " I asked in return extremely curious .
"So . . . . . Inanimate objects can't utilize or harness Arcanum . . . . so someone a long time ago managed to develop process where we can harness and store Arcanum in a different form inside a Visium power cell to be used in various things such as Computers . " He explained .
"Ohhh that's exactly what Technology is in my plane . . . . we create electricity and store it and transfer it around the world . " I explained .
"Ohh that makes much more sense now . " He replied nodding in understanding .
Arriving at the dorm building making our way up the stairs towards Grace and Helen's room .
"Do they share a room? . . " I asked .
"Yeah . . . you can request to have a shared room . " Jay replied .
"Ohhh that's pretty cool I wouldn't mind bunking with someone . . . . . " I replied .
"Maybe you can ask Daisy . . . I'm sure she wouldn't mind . " Jay added .
"Yeah . . . maybe . . . " I agreed thinking, seeing the image in my head of Daisy crying black Ichor and Jay crying about his parents during the attack .
Arriving at a door, Jay knocked on the door waiting for a response . "Come in! Its unlocked Daisy" voice yelled from the other side of the door .
"So when you gonna go see Paul? . . " Jay asked opening the door .
"No idea . . . I guess if I bump into him . . . " I answered .
"HEYYY!!!" they all yelled welcoming us .
"Wassup!!!!" we both replied .
"Ohhh you guys already changed? . . " Jay asked .
"Yeah!" Grace answered .
"Nice room!" I said looking around at their larger room with two large beds, already furnished with making it look less bland .
"Come take a seat!" Daisy said sitting on one of the bed patting the mattress beside her . No longer wearing her thick heavy plates of armour but now wearing a red silk sleeves nightgown .
Taking a seat next to her I instantly noticed that the mattress wasn't made of the same material as the one back in my room . Feeling noticeably softer yet firm .
"Thanks for the clothes by the way . " Daisy whispered to me .
"No problem, nice nightgown I wish I had the body shape to make that work . " I replied to her .
"You would look great in anything, you're gorgeous . " Daisy replied to me wrapping an arm around my shoulder .
"So what's there to do? . . . " I asked feeling curious what people do in their spare time here .
"Well it depends what you enjoy doing . " Grace smiled emerging from a room wearing a black top and shorts and placing a bullseye on the wall . "For example I love practicing my aiming . " she said as she began throwing daggers across the room in all different poses almost hitting the centre .
"Yeah . . . Grace always takes training abit too seriously . . . " Helen said emerging from another room with wet hair and a similar top and shorts but in white .
"Of course! . . . . when danger comes, you will wish you practiced more!" Grace replied to Helen .
"She not wrong . " Jay said sitting on the floor pulling out a small rustic book and began reading it .
"Ohh what's that you're reading? . . . " Daisy asked him .
"This was a spell book my first teacher passed down to me . " He replied still focused on the book .
"Kinda weird actually . . . back at the church I would do chores before bed time . . . haven't really had this much spare time before . . . " Daisy said lying down on the bed .
"Emilia so what was your life like? . . before coming to Atlantis? . . " Helen asked taking a seat next to me .
My gaze quickly shot to Jay for help but he was too focused in his spell book to notice, "Umm well . . . " I replied as I began panicking and started to think of a cover story . "Well my Dad worked on the port just a local fisherman, sometimes he would take me out to sea to help catch fish and hauling them back to the town to sell . " I lied .
"That sounds pretty awesome! . . . I've never been out at sea before . . . " Helen replied .
"What about you? . . " I asked her in return .
"Elven life is pretty dull . . . . Once born your family name chooses the path you will take… . . and your future in out society . " She replied .
" . . . . . That sounds pretty constricting . . . " I replied .
"Yeah it's extremely dull . . . . Grace and I was always envious of other Elven societies where they had the freedom to choose their own paths and explore . " She added .
"Yup!" Grace added as she carried on throwing her sets of daggers while doing all sorts of acrobatic flips and spins still maintaining her accuracy .
"Ohhh Helen . . . do you know much about the fighting pits of Eshia? . . . " I asked her .
"Yeah I've read a little . . . . It's the biggest of the cities in the Desolate Dunes of Eshia, a vast expanse of blistering hot desert . They believe the harshest of climates breeds the best of warriors . " She explained .
"Yup . . . . and they aren't wrong . . . . . It is a known fact that they have the strongest Students in all the school . " Grace added .
"Yup although Atlantis has the two strongest S Ranked Students the number of students they have that are S and A rank equivalent is dangerously high . " Helen also added .
"Is that a bad thing? . . " I asked .
"Sadly the diplomacy between our four schools isn't peaceful, there's a reason each school, year by year builds up their military might . . . . . " Helen explained .
"So we are at war? . . . " I asked .
"Not really . . . Arcadia and Atlantis stays out of any conflicts and only defends the lands we control . . . but the other three schools there's a battle for influence, and even though it hasn't happened yet but if one has a much stronger military I wouldn't be surprised if they start a war . " Helen replied .
"And that's not including Dark cults and Dark gods constantly trying to gain a foothold, and trying to rise to power . . . . " Grace added .
' . . . . . . . . This world is alot more volatile then I first imagined . . . . '
