Chapter 65






"Hey Paul mind if I stay a little longer??? . . . " I asked him

"Sure no worries . " He replied propping his pillow behind his back to get more comfortable . "Wassup?????" he asked .

"If you wanted to sleep I can go . . . . " I replied to him sitting up .

"No no . . . its alright . . . . I'm sorry I can't spend more time helping and explaining everything . . . . . " He replied looking sincerely sorry .

"It's okay . . . . I understand you have alot of responsibilities here . . . " I replied .

"So what did you want to ask? . . . " He said with a smile .

"Just some stuff about you . . . . . if you don't mine . . " I asked .

"Sure no probs ask away . " He said still smiling at me .

"Did you know I was coming here? . . . " I asked .

"No sorry . . . . . I only noticed when I saw your name on the list when choosing students . " He replied .

"I see . . . " I replied .

"So how come you can cast spells without needing a wand or speaking the spell?? . . " I asked .

"One of my old teachers taught me the secret of Casting without a Focus . . . . and casting spells without speaking is pretty common in very proficient casters . " He answered me

"Ohhh I see . . . do you think I'll ever get that good??? . . . " I asked a little curious .

"Of course you can . . . . but wait till you've mastered a few spells first . " He smiled .

"Ohhh ohhh by the way is it true that we get sorted into houses?? . . . " I asked .

He chuckled my excitement, "like your favourite book???" he asked .

"Yeah yeah . " I nodded impatiently waiting of his answer .





"So we have three 'houses', Phoenix: represents Teamwork and friendship . Dragon: represents cunning and intelligence and finally Kraken: represents power and strength .

"So that means you're in Phoenix right??? . . " I asked .

"Sadly I'm not . . . . . I'm in Dragon . . . " he answered .

"But . . . . . Dragon sounds a little evil no? . . . " I asked .

"You know me I've always wanted to be in that house anyways . " He reminded me .

"That is true . . . . " I chuckled, " I still think you're a Phoenix though . . . " I added .

"You're not wrong I do rely on my friend's alot . . . " he added .

"What house do you think I'll be in?? . . " I asked .

"Defiantly a Phoenix . " He answered .

"Are your thing to say I'm weak??? . . " I joked .

"Phoenix doesn't mean you're weak . . . . . Phoenix although doesn't consist of the strongest individuals their bond and friendship is what let them get past the most harshest of situations and get through the most devastating travesties . " He explained .

"So Phoenix are the best??? . . . " I asked .

"All of them has their own strength and weaknesses . " He explained

"By the way . . . . . I was talking to my friend about ancient magic, because I saw the Deputy Head mistress use one . . . . do you know any?? . . . " I asked .

"Ohhhhh . . . . . Yes she uses ancient magic . . . . I think rune magic" He answered .


"Do you happen to know any??? . . . " I asked .

"Any ancient magic? . . . . I know a few . . . . " he replied .

"Really??? A few??!!" I asked in shock almost in disbelief .





"Yup my first teacher was extremely proficient in a number of ancient and forbidden magic . " He answered .

"Ohh like what? . . . " I asked .

"You know . . . . when I told you I can make clones and alter minds, you gave me this look of disgust and fear . . . . like I was a monster . . . . It made me hate myself and what I've become . " He replied to me his face plastered with pain and guilt unable to look at me again .

"I'm sorry . . . . . I didn't mean to . . . . . " I replied quietly feeling guilty for making him feel that way .

"You know I would never do anything to harm you right . . . . " he said quietly .

"I know . . . "I replied not even knowing what to say to make him feel better . . . . . "Thank you by the way . . . . for helping Jays parents . . . . . Again I'm so sorry . . . . I should have realized sooner that you're still the same Paul . . . " I apologized to him .

" . . . . . I'm not exactly the same person . . . . . But I try to be a good person . . . . " He replied .


"I know . . . I heard you saved a town from a Black dragon . " I said .

"Ohhh yeah . . . . that was what made me famous . . . . " He said .

"Yeah . . . people say that Dragons are almost impossible to kill . . . . " I replied .

He chuckled a little, "Is that how the story went? . . " he asked .

"Yeah . . . that's what people have been telling me . . . " I replied .

"Well . . . . I'll tell you this secret . . . . I didn't kill the Black Dragon that was harassing the area, I just gave it a better proposition . " He smiled .

"So it was all a lie . . . ? . . " I asked .

"I guess so . . . . . I understand why they thought I killed it though . . . . " he answered .

"So are you . . . . Strong? . . " I asked .

"What do you think? . . " he asked me in return looking curious at my answer .

"I dunno . . . But when you held my hand back at the snowy place . . . I felt ALOT of Arcanum pouring out of you . . . " I answered .

"Ohhhh nice!!! You already can sense Arcanum?!" He asked with a giant smile .





"I guess? . . . " I answered kinda unsure .

"It's a good skill . . . . generally the amount of Arcanum someone has is proportional to their power . . . so . . . . If you feel an individual have alot of Arcanum it tends to mean they are strong . " He explained .

"But does that mean you're stronger than all the headmasters and headmistresses? . . " I asked shocked at the revelation .

"Well . . . not really . . . . in their case . . . . . Raw powers doesn't necessarily mean overall strength . . . Egwene is Ageless . . . some say she's even immortal . . . Abbraxsoth is rumoured to be a descendant of a Titan . . . . . And Hanna in terms of Arcanum she's probably the weakest but no one really knows what sort of technologies she has in Aspa if needed to get her hands dirty . " He explained .

"So what sort of Ancient and forbidden magic do you know? . . . I promise I won't do that face again . . . " I asked honestly adjusting myself to sit more comfortably on his bed .

"The only other people who know this is Ashley, Scarlet and the Headmaster so you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone . . . " He replied .

"I promise . " I promised him in return .

"Well my arsenal of spell is quite vast . . . . . And I have never used any so far . . . . . But similar to the Deputy Headmistress I can use Runic Magic . . . but I also have a very strong Offensive version of it . Another extremely powerful one . . . . is I can create a Null-field . . . . . -" He explained

"Null field? . . " I interrupted him .

"So I can essentially instantaneously make a zone around me . . . we haven't measured its distance yet but it nullifies everything that utilities Arcanaum within it . " He explained .

"So like an EMP? . . " I asked .

"Yeah like a lasting EMP for Arcanum . . . . so it will disable individuals from using Arcanum . . . even golems won't operate . . . . but I'm unaffected so they will be hugely disadvantaged . " He explained .

"Okay that sounds ridiculous . " I replied hearing him explain it .

"Yeah . . . . so you can imagine coupling it with my Portaling . . . . it's pretty much overpowered . . . " He added .

"So that's why you're known as the strongest . . . " I replied in understanding .

"Well that was only two of my Ancient and Forbidden Magic . . . but I've never used them in combat before . . . people have only ever seen me use Normal magic . . . . and my Portals . " He explained .

"Well your portals alone seem ridiculous . . . " I added .

"It is . . . there are some high level spells you can do that does similar effects . . . . but they aren't as instantaneous as mine . . . " He explained .

"Do you think I'll be as strong as you? . . " I asked him feeling a little hopeful .

"Of course! . . . . like I said before . . . everyone has potential . . . you just need to practice and train . " He said explaining to me .

"Do you really think that? . . " I asked .

"Of course . . . like you I started from nothing . . . . I was just as oblivious about magic as you was . . . " He replied, his answer giving me a little more hope .

"I Went into the other room and saw loads of weapons and an arena . . Is that your training room? . . " I asked .

"Yeah . . . it's my training room . . . me and scarlet use it when we want to spar or practice and training . " he answered .

"Do you? . . . know how to use weapons? . . " I hesitantly ask not wanting to offend him .

"Of course, why? . . " he asked .

"No reason . . . . . Just generally people who use magic only use magic . . in movies and stories . . " I answered him .

"That's true . . . . . but I like to practice close combat . . . an over reliance on Magic and Spells is a weakness in battle . . . . Imagine if you met someone who can nullify magic . . . or make a null-field . . . . . You're gonna be screwed . " he explained .

"Other people can use Null-fields? . . " I asked in shock .

"Well strong casters can use counterspells and counter magic . . . . . but the only thing known to use something similar to a Null-field is a creature called a Beholder . . . . it had many eye stalks each doing something special . . . one of them being a Null-Cone . " He explained .

"Ohhh I see . . . it must be pretty dangerous . . . . " I said hearing him describe it .

"Ohh yeah . . . . . Don't ever think of fighting one ever!" He warned me .

"Is there anything you might lose to? . . . it sounds like you're unbeatable . . . " I asked .

"You think I'm unbeatable? . . . there are a great deal of monsters of unimaginable Godly levels of power . . . " He answered me .

"By the way… . what Gods are there in this plane? . . . " I asked .

"Well . . . there are a quite alot . . . . . The Pantheon it the main group of 'Good Gods' then there are neutral Gods . . . and there are also bad ones . . . . but they dwell in their own plane . . . . . They can't physically manifest themselves here but they can help and have partial influence . . . . " Paul explained .

"How do you know so much? . . " I asked .

"My first teacher was very intelligent and knowledgeable, listening in class also helps as well . " He joked .
