The rose high into the sky and the day descended upon the world.
Through the window, sunshine illuminated the room causing Chris's eyelids to twitch ever so slightly. He gradually opened his eyes and looked towards his chest where Amelia was still sleeping, a gratifying and affectionate smile was written all over his face.
He pushed gently Amelia off his chest, and he slowly got up from the bed before heading towards the bathroom, in order to take a bath and shake off the smell of sweat that was clinging onto his body.
' Today is the day our training begins, I wonder how much different it will be from the military training in my previous life. If I remember correctly, in my previous life in the military we still had to study some extra knowledge that could be useful on the battlefield, this knowledge included physics, mathematics, chemistry, geography, and more. In the beginning, I thought it was useless, but I still paid a lot of attention to it since if you couldn't learn this knowledge before entering the battlefield you were almost certain to die or so I heard, even though I thought it was exaggerated I still didn't dare to play with my life so I studied carefully. '
' Later I realized how right the choice I made at that moment was. Not only did it help me to keep my life and saved me in countless situations, but it also helped me to completely annihilate all of my enemies, every single time I was sent on a mission. Like the say goes " Knowledge is power ". '
' When I came to realize that saying, I furthered my knowledge through self-studying and I managed to practically apply this knowledge on the battlefield, which helped to raise in the ranks of commander. I was truly the youngest commander they had ever seen, and they even gave me the nickname of " the walking library ", now that I think about it it was quite a funny nickname ha. Sigh, well all of these, belong to the past, what I need to do now is to focus on the present as well to make some plans for the future. '
Having his thoughts somewhat sorted out, Chris walked out of the bath, changed clothes, and started to prepare breakfast for him and Amelia, the previous Chris didn't know how to cook, but since he lived alone in his previous and he always had to prepare his own food, it could be said that the current Chris was a well-versed cook.
After he finished making the breakfast he put the food on two plates and walked towards Amelia who was still soundly asleep.
He lightly knocked Amelia and gently woked her up.
" Morning, Amelia, here I made some breakfast, better eat it now while it's still hot and while you still can since we're gonna have a big day ahead of us. "
Having said this, Chris carefully handed one of the plates to Amelia who was clearly half asleep, as he took the other and sat on the bed beside her and began eating.
Amelia who was still half asleep took the food from the plate and placed it into her mouth. The moment the food entered her mouth, her eyes widened as she instantly woke up completely and looked with a doubtful expression at Chris.
Even though it was hard to believe that Chris was this good of a cook, she didn't say anything as she quietly ate her part, afraid as if she said something that she shouldn't, she would never eat this delicious breakfast again.
After finishing the breakfast, Amelia looked towards Chris and then looked at the food on his plate with pleading eyes.
Noticing her expression Chris didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
" Do you want some more? I can give you my share if you want. "
" No need you should eat it, we have a busy day later and we will need all the energy we can get. " said Amelia as she lightly shook her head.
Pondering for a while Chris opened his mouth to speak once again.
" Then give me a kiss and I will go cook some more for you. "
Hearing what he said, Amelia's eyes immediately lit up as she hurried to give him a long passionate kiss.
Having received his reward, Chris wore a gratifying smile on his face as he said.
" There are still, some leftover in the kitchen, you can go eat. "
" You cheated me? " She asked with furrowed eyebrows and a fake angry expression.
" Yes so how do you plan to punish me? " he said with a grin on his face.
" Humph. We'll talk later now I'm still hungry, I tell you, you won't get away easily this time. "
The two of them continued to chat happily and half an hour later Juliet knocked on their door.
After Juliet greeted the two of them, she guided them towards an old building with a single floor.
Inside that building, were various desks and wooden chairs facing towards the back of the room where a huge board covered almost all of the wall.
Juliet bid them goodbye and told them to wait there for Lawrence.
After what seemed like five minutes Lawrence arrived, greeted them, and walked towards the back of the room where the board was.
" Alright, from today I will teach you about the general knowledge of this world as well as some other mysterious arts, such as rituals, potion-making, witchcraft, etc. "
" I already have told you about the basic knowledge of the three power systems. So I'm not going to repeat it again, if you haven't told about this to Amelia, you can fill in her gaps later. "
" Alright, first let's talk about mages. Mages have different set paths, but the same beginning. They all have to go through the same ritual and build what they call a basic core, in order to become a rank nine mage. After they build their basic core then they fill it with essence. There are different essences and all of them correspond to a different element, thus we call them elemental essences. When they fill their basic core they have to choose which elemental essence they will use in order to fill it up, as different elemental essences also correspond to different paths. Also for mages to bring out the full combat power they possess, they have to use elemental techniques. Mages of a certain path can't use techniques from a different one, for example, and a water essence mage is of the water path and so he can only use techniques from his own path otherwise he will bring imminent danger to his life. "
" Next are the warriors. The warriors all have one path. They have to first build a basic core and then fill it with mana before they advance. They also bring out their fullest power through combat techniques as they call it. Every one of the warrior power system can learn any combat technique he or she wants without limitations. Even though the warriors, have the same path, they divide themselves into specialists, in accordance to what weapon they are most skilled in, for example, sword specialist, spear specialist, fists specialist, etc. "
" Till here we can say that mages are the most complicated, and warriors are the most simple. "
" Now, last but not least we have the mystics. Mystics are the rarest, most powerful, and extremely mysterious among the three power systems. They are the most powerful because once they master their abilities they can use them without any backlash and for an unlimited time. Unlike mages and warriors who use their mana and essence in order to execute their techniques, and can also execute them till their mana or essence runs out, but mystics once they master their abilities they don't have such limitations. Mystics are also the rarest since only one in a million can successfully advance from a normal human to a mystic, but if a mystic wants to advance a rank it is much easier than advancing from zero, as the beginning. Moreover, they are the most mysterious since once, someone goes through the metamorphosis and becomes a mystic they no longer can be considered humans but another higher level of existence. Also, every mystic has his or her own unique path that will be revealed to them once they master their current abilities, of course, there are some exceptions like you two who used the shared life ritual and thus share the same path. "
" Also you two will have higher chances for advancing through the ranks since only one of you needs to go through the metamorphosis and since there will be two people who will advance together the burden and danger of the advancement directly decreases by half. "
" So you two should be considered lucky, to have this opportunity as well as have each other, "
" Now let's end here today's lecture and we can continue tomorrow. For now, you two should head over to the training fields, that I show you yesterday. "
