Chapter 5 - THE SOUL HUNTER'S PAST; PART III

It was the day before the practical exam and Zane was one of the finalists competing for the Assassin Class the same as his father. This exam was known as the Grimdor Exam named after the first wizard to classify and rank all CKs. Zane was in class with his pet, Claw, who was now a panther since his species could change their form at will. This was decided so he doesn't cause a ruckus since the truth of his existence cannot be revealed. It was time for class and the class teacher had just entered. "Good morning Miss Freya!", the class chorused. "Good morning class! I hope everyone here is fine? I'm proud of you all for taking the Grimdor Exam. Although you all did not gain your choice of rank you still made it as far as you could and you should be proud of that.", Miss Freya said.

Miss Freya was an S grade Magician Class CK with an affinity to fire and lightning. She was a very vivacious woman not just in power but also in body. She was a G-cup (my fellow otakus you know what I mean πŸ€€πŸ€€πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰), curvy and the dream woman of every male student and teacher in CK Academy. Not only that she was the role model of all girls in the academy too. She had long green hair, fair and was very modest almost like she was trained to be a maid.

"Also I'd like to congratulate the finalists of our school who have made us very proud especially you... Zane😘", she said giving him a kiss in the air.

Now, Zane was not just famous for his academic grades, he was also a personal student of Miss Freya. This was in a way a blessing and a curse. Some boys were willing to kill him just for that others were willing to even buy him breakfast and lunch just to have a talk with Miss Freya. The reason why she was his teacher was due to their similarities in elemental affinity which was fire. Miss Freya taught Zane all he knew about fire magic, it's implementation and limits. He was a very quick learner and he made it through the exam. Now it was time for the finals and Miss Freya had one more thing to teach the class.

"Alright everyone, today we'll be discussing on the classification and rankings of CKs in our kingdom. I'll also explain some details which are not commonly known. ", she said. On the levitating chalkboard that had floated down there were some writings.

"Now class, looking at the table here we can all see three classes we're not familiar with. The Merlin Class is actually a CK title who's next after the King in position. He's the most powerful knight. The current one, who's the 13th Merlin in our kingdom is actually my very close friend. You could even say we're a couple (giggles).", Miss Freya bragged. The class was actually shocked and even some of the girls started to scream in delight. The 13th Merlin was actually very famous. His iconic bright white hair and smooth handsome face was the dream of almost all ladies in the kingdom. He is said to be the most powerful of all the Merlins and that the former Merlin before him was his teacher. Some even say they were lovers.

"Ok class attention!!! Now, with the Necromancer Class they are the rarest of the CKs. Out of 2,000,000 you'd find at best 2 to 3 who are Necromancers. This reason is because unlike the other classes the Necromancer Class cannot be inherited. For now all we know is that it's a random gem in our society. Anyone can have it. A perfect example is Zane. His mother was a working Necromancer Class CK but he doesn't have her abilities. This proves that blood is not a factor in obtaining this class. ", she said while a student raised her hand. " Yes? What is your question please? ", Miss Freya asked. " Umm.... can we know some abilities of the Necromancer Class? ", the student asked. "The Necromancer Class have the ability to resurrect the dead in shadow form and add them to their army. Necromancers can store a number of shadow understandings based on their rank. But this ability comes with three conditions; the level of the person or beast, the level of the Necromancer and the time that has passed since the target's death. There's more but we'll save that for later.", she said.

She continued," The Tamer Class has been updated since our Merlin made a knew discovery. He somehow managed to make a consciousness dwell within his weapon using his own mana and mature enough to transform into a humanoid form like a spirit. He's the first CK to do this and has predicted that in the far future some may be able to do it too if not many. And last but not the least, the Techno Class. This class has been considered a future rank to come and a common one at that. One will be able to craft technology of his or her choice into weapons and they will lead us into a new era.( Bell rings) Now before you go I'd like to say something short about tomorrow's exam. The students who win against others from different schools will be put in AA rank automatically. But our Merlin will choose one of you to fight with him. If you manage to impress him you'll be made an S rank or maybe even a Merlin apprentice. So pls do your best tomorrow okay??", she said with a smile on her face.

Class had ended and it was time to go home. For Zane and Claw they had gone into the forest to train. They didn't wanna disappoint. so they worked harder than anyone and we're ready to give it they're all. After Zane went home he received encouragement from his dad and mom which put his nervousness at ease. He was prepared for anything..... but what was about to happen the next day!!!

To be continued......
