After Hans's words, the sentients turned their gazes to the young man in the luxurious, white fur coat. At first, he was the center of attention, but the sisters ' abilities completely overshadowed the eccentric appearance of the youngster.
— No need, I'm going to join the Support Hall.
The hall where not the aura masters were trained, but their assistants. Such squires with knights. Despite their relatively low status in the world of masters, they were considered elite warriors in the ranks of mortals. For a common man, even if he is a member of the lower nobility, it is an honor to become one of them, but…
"Outrageous! Young man, your abilities are already beyond the imagination of the assistants! If you become an aura master, you will surely meet an amazing future. Moreover, the members of each hall pay the same amount of thirty gold coins for a month of training, I don't think it's wise to give up the opportunity to become a master without even trying.
Ragne accepted the gray-eyed teacher's point of view, but he did not forget his position.
"My well is sealed together with ninety-nine percent of my physical strength. The detection artifact, even if it is thrice miraculous, will not be able to detect another source. Only the rarest races, such as the Devil-Gods and the Dragon-Winged Phoenixes, possess two wells due to their dual nature…"
The young man could not share his thoughts, so he decided to certify the persistent teacher in the correctness of his own choice. With measured steps, Ragne stepped under the crossed arches and stood with an indifferent face as the rain of light poured down from above. The seconds dragged on, no change, yet after half a minute, when the stream of light began to weaken and Ragne was about to exit, transparent streams of aura burst out of the body.
- Great!
The face of the head of the Beast Hall was filled with joy, but soon the contentment faded, the transparent aura spread only three meters.
Three cubic meters meant that the master was able to develop to the peak of the Formation stage(1), six to Accumulate(2), and nine meters to Release(3). It turned out that the boy could only reach the peak of the initial level, which, with his amazing skills, seemed like a real tragedy. Also, the three strongest halls, including the Beast Hall, only accepted students whose auras reached four meters or higher.
- Don't worry, such a result is already very rare. You can easily become an army officer or even a military commander.
Mirra's consolation should have encouraged Ragne, who stood with a completely pale face, taken by those around him for an expression of despair. The young man was in shock, completely unaware of what was happening.
"The power in my body… Where is she from? Is she... mine?..."
The attempt to control the colorless aura was successful, the rippling power curling into an acorn-sized ball.
— How did he do it?"...
Control is the most problematic facet of mastery, throughout history Falenar has been recognized as the scourge of geniuses gifted with seven, eight, and even nine meters of primordial aura, but some weakling easily harnessed the energy? The watchers rubbed their eyes, but for Ragne, such an impact was nothing. At the age of three months, he already controlled a sevenfold condensed aura that measured seventy-five meters.
"Yes... yes!YES!!! MY aura! Even though it's not as powerful as it was in the true well, it's a real godsend right now. A tool that will allow you to reset the shackles of printing!"
Ragne's lips parted in a slightly insane smile.
— Young man, would you like to join my party?"
The dumbfounded glances of the students and Ragne's joyous tossing stopped when a melodious voice rang out from the window of the fourth floor of the school building. The Sentients had unmistakably recognized the blond man, whose perfectly straight hair cascaded down to his thighs, as the head of the Hall of the Glass Ghost, one of the three strongest Halls of Issus.
— Doesn't your hall make the same demands as mine?" The boy has an aura range of only three meters. What is not enough to…
— Who cares about your demands, Hans?" I can see the potential. Unlike your hall, where brute force decides everything, the Glass ghosts rely on control, and the young man's control is simply incredible.
The unhealthy gleam in the blond man's eyes was slightly alarming, but his motivation left no question. In choosing the Hall, from the point of view of its significance for development, Ragne did not emphasize it at all. To him, all methods of interacting with the aura of the seventh-order world seemed like dirt.
"With my knowledge, the limit of the three-meter range can be turned into a peak talent of the world of the sixth, or even the fifth order, however, if you choose... the Hall of the Beast is most likely specialized in interacting with animals. All types of auras have both external and internal effects. For them, this is the control of pets, and the conversion into an animal, respectively… As for the Glass Ghost… Weird. Ghosts are usually called masters of soul incarnation, but they hardly exist at all in the world of the seventh order, which means that there is something else here… At the beginning of the name - glass… Is it the lowest variation of the discharge bonds: the diamond body and the aura of the fire opal?… In any case, this is better than turning into a beast, let alone controlling pets, my fighting style does not involve interacting with anyone… Resolved, the Glass Ghost is the beginning of the rebirth of the True Well…"
"All right, I'll do your honor."…
