The first class the saint had in the morning was Energy control. The professor was Azazel, he explained that in that class they would learn how to control the flux of mana inside them and how to maintain and use that energy when necessary. In the afternoon, the class was Energy body enhancement. There they were learning essentially the same thing as in the morning but focused only in how to raise the body strength to the limit using mana, that was what 41 was doing non—intentionally this hole time. He and 13 had an easy time in this class. The next day they had Melee and long range weapons classes. Haamiah was the instructor; she took them to the front garden and started her class. The first lesson was to introduce the saints to the most used weapons. Short and long, one and two—handed swords; claymores, rapiers, cutlass, hook swords, scimitars, sabers, daggers, katanas, kodachis, even zweihanders. Axes, spears, giant cleavers, halberds, maces, tonfas and many more. She presented those to them in the first half of the class and then talked about the long—range weapons. Those consisted basically of bows and guns, there was some other things there to throw but none of the saints paid much attention to it. The other weapons dazzled them all. Haamiah, after introduce the long—range ones, allow them to get close to the weapons available and test them, 41 rushed to the biggest sword he could see. It was a giant two—edged sword, it was almost two times bigger than him. He tried to grab the hilt expecting a heavy object but for his surprise, the weight he felt was incredibly low, he pulled it with both of his hands and hit himself in the face. The other ones stared at him, 21 and Adam laughed loudly seen what 41 did to himself. Haamiah did not stopped him or seemed worried, encouraging the other saints to start looking at the weapons too. Some were very interested in the apparently deadly axes, while knives and daggers hypnotized others. 13 started to look at the light swords; she showed a deep interest in the rapiers and others lunge weapons. 21 did not showed any particular interest in a specific type of weapon, he gave a quick look in all of them, but no one stood out to him. After swinging the huge sword a couple of times, 41 putted that one away and tried one of the spears, he got close to one of them and 13, who was there with an axe in her hands, said:\\
—Hey, 41, since you already were hit by that sword and didn't get hurt, let me hit you with this axe…\\
—What?\\
—Let me hit you with this axe… Please…\\
—Are you out of your mind? Hell no…\\
—C'mon, just one hit… You will be fine.\\
—No look at this thing.\\
The axe she was holding was huge, she needed both of her hands to lift it, it had spikes all over the edge and even smaller spikes on the spikes. 41 was terrified. Haamiah, who was hearing the conversation, decided to intervene.\\
—If you want to hit someone with this axe, you can hit me. — Everyone looked at her.\\
—Really? — 13 asked.\\
—Yes, go for it — She lifted her arm — Try to cut my arm.\\
—What is happening here? — 41 was scared for her.\\
13 lifted the axe above her head and prepared herself to attack. Haamiah was smile looking relaxed, all the saints were surrounding them trying to see 13 hit her. The axe started to fall down, everyone was silent, and as it was getting closer to the impact, the tension in the ambient was raising. When the axe hit Haamiah's arm, everyone flinched, except her. When they looked, the axe didn't even cut her arm, she stood there smiling the whole time.\\
—That was super anti—climatic… — Adam whispered to 11.\\
—What happened?? — 21 said from the back.\\
—Is the axe broken? It is just for demonstration. If it is… you can hit me if you want. — 41 said to 13.\\
Haamiah lower her arm and 13 let the axe hit the floor. When the axe fell in the floor, it made a little crack on the rocks. 21 noticed that and asked what happened again to Haamiah.\\
—This is a technique that you will learn in some of your classes. When you focus a part of your mana in a specific part of your body, you can make that part stronger and more resistant than all weapons. If you have enough mana, you can make your own body the best of all armors and the deadliest of all weapons.\\
—But, if that is how it works, why do cavaliers use armors and weapons? Aren't they useless? — 21 immediately asked.\\
—It would be if it wasn't possibly to do the same with them. From now on I will teach you how to use your mana to power up the weapons, how to concentrate your own energy in the weapons that you are holding and use them in combat.\\
—Sooo, you are saying that weapons cannot hurt you. — 41 said to Haamiah.\\
—No, I'm saying that weapons used like that do almost no damage to me.\\
—Can I try to hit once? — 41 asked her.\\
—Go ahead. — She said getting ready. \\
He grabbed the axe from the floor; it was way heavier than the sword he tried before. He lifted and start walking backwards, the others gave him space and started to walk backwards until they were at a safe distance. He started to charge towards Haamiah, he still wasn't running normally, with both of his hands in the axe he did not had a good balance, when he was half way through his run he jumped in the air up to fifty feet. Haamiah looked up surprised, at the highest point he pulled the axe above his head and started to swing it down. Haamiah haven't flinched yet, but she realized that if he hit her with the axe, she could get hurt even using the mana protection. At the last second, she gives a small step to the right avoiding the attack. The giant axe hits the floor cracking it and creating a big smoke screen, no one saw what really happened. As the dust was going down, 41 was trying to see what he hit with axe and 13 was getting closer to them to see better, as she as walked towards them, she saw Haamiah standing right beside the axe starring at 41.\\
—You missed? — She asked to 41.\\
All the others were scared to get to close, but after 13 said that they started to walk closer to see what happened. When 21 got close enough he saw 41 standing there looking to the hole he made in the ground and Haamiah beside him laughing at the situation.\\
—I can't believe you did all that and missed in the end. — 21 said with a disappointed look on his face.\\
—He didn't missed… I dodged it.\\
—WHAT?? — 41 screamed at the top of his lungs. — Why you dodge it? Didn't you said that weapons used like that were no problem to you?\\
—Yes I did.. But you didn't use them like that right… You used your mana to jump making the hit stronger… Sooooo, that means you cheated.\\
—I just wanted to test and see what happens.\\
—It is all right. In the combat classes you will have a lot of time to test everything you want… In a safe way. — When all the saints got close to her she finalized — This is it for today, our next class will be next week. See you guys then. Dismissed.
After lunch, they had Elemental Magic class with Seraphim. He was a complete Paladin, but his primary class was Mage, after his first year he reached the rank of silver cavalier being approved in Elemental Magic, Energy Control and Manifestation and Alchemy. He also performed the tests for Melee Weapons, Long Range Weapons, Dueling and Dual Wielding in the Warrior tree and Forge in the Specialist tree but he passed only in Melee Weapons and Forge. The others sub—divisions were conquered by him in later years. He became a complete Paladin three years before and the Archduke one year after that. In the first class of Elemental Magic, his objective was identify which natural element each saint exuded from his soul. He took them to the front yard and made them stay in a line.\\
—To discover what is your element, you guys will do this — He showed to them and explained at the same time — Lift your hand and try to concentrate a small amount of energy ABOVE your hand, as if you want to expel that energy through your hand… When you think you got it, try to remember all the elements you can think of, it can be anything, water, air, light, darkness, fire, lightning, metal… It can be anything, try to think in elements you like or the ones that you think it fits your personality. Usually the personality and the element of a person are pretty close to each other — In his hand, a small flame rose. It was shining orange, almost gold.\\
The saints started to try; the first part was not problem to them. Seraphim could see that the biggest part of them had a control good enough to concentrate their energy above their hands. The only ones who were having problem with this part were 13, 41 and the girl 11. 13 could separate an amount of energy and send it to her hand, but that energy would not leave her body, 41 was not managing to separate a small quantity in his hand, the mana he was able to control was scattered throughout all of his body and 11 did not had enough mana to manifest in her hand.
Seraphim went to assist them while the others were starting the second part. The first saint to make it was Adam, he was trying to focus in the basic elements when a fly started to annoy him flying close to his ear, he screamed at it to stop making that stupid noise. When he said that, something appeared in his hand making all types of sounds. After him, two more were with an element in their hands, both 12 made it. The girl 12 element was stone, above her hand a small rock with pointy edges, the boy 12 element was wind, above his hand a gentle gale appeared and started to dance around him. After Seraphim helped 13,11 and 41 he went to assist the other of the class, 41 slowly was being able to focus his energy in his hand, but it was unstable, the amount of energy increased and then dropped. 11 and 13, after Seraphim explained to them, were having the same problem as before. One of the saints had an amazing control, even though it was his first time, he was able to concentrate a specific amount of energy in his hand without much effort or waste, but still, no element had appeared in 21's hand. At first, he was thinking about the seven basic ones, but when he saw Adam's hand, started to think specifically in water and its derivatives, ice, vapor, blood, but nothing happen. He went back to the basics: fire, stone, wind, water, lightning, darkness and light. One by one, none of those was giving results, until he started to think about light, that's when a small flasher appears in his hand, when he realized the image in his head started to get clearer and the light slowly stronger. Seraphim looks at it and smiles. 41 also looks at it and gets jealous, 21 notices and decides to go brag to him, they were not close to each other, 21 walked all the way to 41 with his light in his hand, when he gets close to 41, his light almost disappear once he stopped focusing.\\
—Sooo, are you having problems there? — He said grinning.\\
—Shut up you are distracting me.\\
—That is your excuse? What was distracting you before I get here?\\
—Shut up!!\\
As 41 was getting mad, 21 decided to help him.\\
—What elements have you tried? \\
—All of them…\\
—That is not possible. Think straight. Think about a rock right in front of you or a tornado. Try with a clear image in your head.\\
—It is hard to keep thinking at the same thing for a long time without thinking about other things… \\
The girl 12 who was hearing got close and tried to help.\\
—Try this… Close your eyes and I will narrate something for you to imagine.\\
—Ok\\
—Imagine the red stones of the castle… The first time you saw them… Nothing? Ok. Now imagine a giant hurricane and you are right in the middle of it, all of the directions you look is just wind and dust, and then, the strong wind takes you away…\\
—Then you fall on top of a witch and take her shoes. — 21 interrupted her narration. \\
She nudged him with her elbow and continued.\\
—Let's try water now… You… are in a lake… and starts to get inside the water…\\
—But the water is frozen and you slip and fall. — She poked 21 once more.
When 21 said that something little twinkled in 41's hand. They looked at each other confused.\\
—Is it working? — She pokes him again — Continue…\\
—What… ok, let me think… You stand up and starts snowing. — A little thing starts to form in 41's hand — You look in front of you and there is a giant statue of ice. — A small piece of ice takes shape — It is… Giant… ICE… WINGS…\\
—Giant ice wings in the middle of the lake?? — 12 asked.\\
After he said that, what was a small piece of ice became a refined and translucent ice crystal, with sharp edges and small wing on the side. The other two looked scared at it. 21 poked 41 for him to open his eye. When he opened and saw it, he screamed:\\
—WINGS! MY ELEMENT IS WINGS!\\
—It is ice dumbass…
Seraphim saw it and smiled. He was about to go talk with the kids when 13 approached them and asked for help. 41 proudly showed his crystal to her, she smiled and tried to show to him her element. She focused in her hand and some small lightings appeared between her fingers.\\
—What is the problem? It's lightning your element. — 41 said.\\
—Yes but it is supposed to form something above my hand… Like yours. When I try to put more mana into it this is what it happens.\\
Slowly her entire hand was becoming living lighting and energy, all the others were looking at it impressed and a little scared too.\\
—How are you doing this?? Can I do it too? — 41 asked her and then 21.\\
Seraphim got closer and took a long look at her hand.\\
—It is all right, your element is lightning, the only difference is that it is not manifesting outside of your body. I have seen this happen but not at this level…\\
—What do you mean? — 13 asked scared.\\
—I have never seen someone turns into an element. I have seen armors being turn into an element but never the person. Interesting…\\
—Is it bad?\\
—Well, that depends, on the way you are going to use it… In the hands of a talented craftsman, the dirtiest clay can become the most valuable of the arts.
She thought a lot about what happened and the Paladin words, until dinner, she kept trying to control when to turn her hand into lightning. When she entered the cafeteria to dinner, 41, 21 and the girl 12 were already eating the yellow mass, she got her food and sat down with them. She started to eat and noticed something.\\
—Where did you guys find ice for the juice?\\
One of them proudly puffed his chest and started to smile, with his mouth full of food. She looked at 41 and started to smile, lifted her cup and asked to him for some ice too. They stood there eating, talking until the refectory closes, after that, the boys went take a shower and the girls went sleep. After the shower and before they go to sleep, they talked about the classes they had so far and the others they were going to have in the next day. Forge was the one that 41 was most excited for, he wanted to learn how to make wings for an armor. Forge was the class that 21 was least interest, they were going to have Healing, Alchemy, Forge and Potions classes in the same day, and any of the others seemed a lot more interesting to him. 21 was not a big fan of staying locked up in an underground room full of fire hitting a piece of rock for hours according to him. In the girls room, they were talking to each other sitting in their beds, except for 13, who was sitting in the floor next to the others using her hand as a light switch. 12 approached her.\\
—You seem really into this…\\
—I'm just… curious…\\
—It looks like you are getting the hang of it. In the class it looked like your hand was almost coming apart, the rays were all over the place. Now it has the same shape of your hand… — She said while looking to it hypnotized.\\
—Yes… It is getting easier over time, I was trying to do it in the whole arm earlier but it didn't worked out.\\
—What happened?\\
—My arm didn't turned… Only some sparks came out.\\
—Can I see it? In the whole arm…\\
13 sat correctly and tried to do it in her right arm. 12 saw the sparks and smiled. She slowly raised her arm and touched 13's arm. When she did so, her long curly black hair stretched and got up forming a big ball of electrified hair above her head. They laugh it off and talked for a couple of hours, then went to sleep.
