The class was full of students using different weapons and the teacher was moving around checking if each student choosed the right weapon suitable for them.
Baylas decided to go for a bow and arrow because that was one of the weapons she had been taught to use back at the Castle.
While Mark on the other hand went to the arsenal of weapons and choosed a sword that almost looked like the one in his Black Hole but of course this one was of a poorer quality.
Mark tried to make a few swings like the one he had seen in videos and ended up hurting himself but that was no big deal because his wounds covered up and healed back at a very fast rate.
' I must look cool while trying out this professional moves ' He thought to himself.
The teacher was moving around when he spotted a boy who was swinging the sword Carelessly like a mad man.
' Does this boy want to hurt himself?'
" Hey be careful with that sword, you might hurt yourself. The way you swing the sword shows that you have never held a sword before. So do you mind if I show you a few moves that you can keep practicing?" The teacher said extending out his hand with a smile on his face.
" Not at all sir" Mark handed the sword over to the teacher. Everyone stopped what they were doing and they now were starring at the teacher who was making some cool moves.
" I will say you choosed a very good weapon there. This reminds me of an old friend. So this is what we call a diagonal slash. With this move, you can attack your opponent at a very odd angle wich will be difficult to block, even if he blocks it, his body will be left open for another quick attack so you can use this move as a distraction." said the teacher.
With every move and skill shown, Mark discovered that his intelligence was going up.
The teacher demonstrated the moves over again and many people decided to start using the sword. They were imitating the teacher's every move with swords of their own.
The teacher stopped showing the moves and called up Mark for a little spar. They both took their stances and the match began. Mark was asked to defend for sometime wich he didn't do bad and after that time Mark was asked to attack and Mark could easily replay the moves the teacher had shown.
The teacher was supprised of how fast Mark had learned the moves and that made him willing to teach more.
Every single day as Mark learned how to use the sword, his intelligence and perception was increasing. The teacher had been so fond of Mark that he decided to make him his personal student wich meant extra classes and extra moves.
Mark's father was cleaning the house one day
and he heard the doorbell ring. When he opened the door he saw someone with a long overall also covering her face with a veil but her white hair could be seen from under. Mr Hanstine immidiately noticed who this was and tears started pouring from his eyes and he gave her a warm hug.
"Oh Mona my love, I have missed you so much." said Mr Hanstine.
" I have missed you too. I wish I could always be with you and I hope that day comes but for now you must listen to me what I want to tell you is of great importance and urgently needs to be addressed." said Mrs Mona Hanstine. Her face changed from sorrofwul to serious.
" The king of the Vampire kingdom had made a new decree that every offspring of a vampire and a human must be killed. This means you and Mark are in danger. For now Mark is safe in school but you are not out here.
" Please you will have to leave this place immidiately because yesterday I overheard a messenger from the Vampire kingdom requesting the Grand Master to give them the go ahead to search for you." Said Mrs Mona with tears in her eyes.

Back at the dorm, Mark and his friends had made a plan to leave the school and go out for a little fun but they had agreed to make sure they were back before curfew.
They left the School the school and they decided to head first to a shop. Everyone wished to get themselves a new weapon since most of them were in a weapon class.
When they entered the weapon shop, They were all carried away by the beauty of the weapons. Mark was not really interested in buying a weapon because he believed that the one in his black hole was enough.
James and Baylas went out to search for a weapon. James looked at all the swords in the first section and he did not like any because they were of low quality.
" You do not like any of those swords, do you? If you don't mind you can consider trying swords that have been fused with monster crystals or you could get an artifact made from the core of a dungeon? It might be expensive but they are worth it." A sales person spoke to james with a cheerful voice.
A dungeon was a tunnel that had a core Crystal. This types of tunnels were found deep under the mountain. They had so many dangerous beasts protecting the core crystal. The tunnels were in tiers.
The tier one tunnels mostly consisted of tier one beasts and few of the tier two beasts. It was the most closest to the surface.
The deeper they went, the higher the tiers for both the tunnels and the beasts or monsters.
From tunnels at the level of tier 4, they were were called dungeons.
This was where most explorers went to get crystals and other Materials to sale.
Weapons that were made from the core of a tunnel were not actually weapons. they were called Artifacts and they were mostly made in the form of a ring or a chain and other items. They had the power to grand magical Ability to their wearers.
James was taken to a different section and he decided to buy for himself a tier 3 weapon with a Fire Ability. This showed that the weapon was from a beast with Fire Ability.
While Baylas got for herself a tier 3 Bow but but there were no arrows because the arrows were made of wind, Meaning she just needed to pull the string and an arrow made of wind will form by itself. The strength of the arrows depended on the power level of the user.
James saw that Mark hadn't gotten a weapon and he offered to buy one for him but Mark told him he already had a sword and at the end James had gotten Mark an artifact.
The group left the shop and the next place they wanted to visit was the Pillar of Truth.
