"Now, let's talk about Runes, since I told you about their grades, you must be wondering, 'what Runes are', right" Celes ask to which Nova nods even though its not his first time hearing about them but seeing how much excited Celes is, he just said yes.
"well, in simple language they are language, A language that allow you to communicate and interact with Mana" Celes
"the chants and incantation are low end versions of Rune language, they are interrept by great Sages to lower the difficulty of being a Mage, but less Difficulty also resulted in less power and longer chants compared to original language. So compared to Origin Magic these New magic is very weak and limited to their own world while Origin Magic is universally usable. " Celes
"but, master if the Origin Mage were that great why is there no information on them any more, even the hall of honor, which has names of greatest path weilder in this Universe has no mention of Origin Mage path wielder" Nova ask, as from her teachings, it can be clearly said that the Origin Mage was the progenitor of all Mage paths.
"Also, Master i have heard of Runes before and they are involve in spell incantations but it isn't called Origin Magic" Nova
"The reason is difficulty of Rune language and simplicity of chanting magic, with passing time more and more people started leaving Rune language or original Rune language to be precise because of easy magic formulas and theories that became available , the Modern day Rune you have heard of are only the basics of the Forgotten original Runes, therefore there is no Origin Mage alive, atleast until my Master died which was around 1 or 2 Billion years ago of Cosmic time" Celes answer clears his doubts.
"For now you will be learning low to advance class Runes and before Awakening you will only be learning introduction to Origin Runes and Complete Modern Runes, got it" Celes asked Nova to which he replied with yes.
Another has passed and now Nova is 12 years old, he has reached complete mastery for purification stage of listless mana art, 1st form of true splitting sword art.
As for origin Runes introduction even with his Clarity eyes its progress can said to be even slower than Sloth compared to Modern day Runes in which he learned and Practiced many useful Rune magic upto paek of Tier 3,He is practically equal to Peak B ranker in terms of Rune Magic.
As for why he can practice spells despite being unawakened, all credit goes to Training area.
Training Area is basically a big white room that seems almost endless, it can be transformed into any terrain, also it has simulations and time dilation feature making it the best place to become stronger in less time.
Time dilation makes the time inside the flow inside the training area 10 times slower compared to outside or real world.
Simulation feature allows him to experience being a age despite being unawakened and not only Mage he can choose any path he wants to experience.
These features and his natural talent allowed him to make these much progress in just one year of real world.
Right now Nova is sitting in the class listening to Teacher lecture.
"Assimilating Stone, an advance version of Awakening stone developed by Monarch of Wisdom Clifer Demac, after 10 million years of time when magic was discovered, humans also found that in these vast space we are not the only intelligent species, when first legendary ranker was born on Ancia (Nova's world name), he traveled to outside of our world to find if the legendary rank is the limit that's when he encountered another human who was many times stronger than him and he got his answer" Maria, nova class teacher is now telling them how first time other worlds were discovered and how assimilating stone came into existence.
"There were not only humans outside of our world but many other races too, like elf, dwarfs and other races, the humans were at disadvantage against those races as humans were blank their chance of Awakening a talent during Awakening ceremony is very low when compared to Elf's innate magical talent, Dwarves innate dexterity, Orcs strong body talent and many other such talent. Thus the need of better Awakening stone was greater or human might become extinct due to natural disadvantages. The Assimilating stone was the result of improving Awakening stone even though Awakening a talent is still same but it allows humans to use their beasts natural abilities.
It was developed by Wisdom Monarch Clifer Demac by studying his own beast master talent that allows him to use his tamed beast abilities.
Later he conducted many experiments and the assimilating stone was born. It's existence was kept silent until a powerful ranker appeared among humans, from then Humans were no longer the weakest species but became one of the strongest species present in these Universe." Maria
" Now, you must all be wondering why I am telling you all about this when everyones already know about it, right?, the reason is one of the family that are tasked with protecting the formula of assimilating stone is now destributing Mana breathing method to everyone for free" Maria dropped the bomb and as expected class erupted in cheers as everyone knows the importance of Mana breathing art.
'Maria Reas is literally a succubus just by her figure, although all high rankers are beautiful but she's on another level.
Her beautiful blue hair and golden eyes along with her succubus body can even arouse the lust of saints, her.."Pervert stop it I can't hear you lewd thoughts any longer" Nova's thought got cut off by Celes nagging.
"who are you calling a pervert, I was only admiring her beauty" Nova rebukes her
"humph, your head is going all about succubus and you say you are admiring her beauty, make a better excuse, little pervert" Nova's blushes hearing Celes words.
"whatever, Master are also thinking the same thing as I am" Nova then asked
"I am not a pervert like you" Celes sneered
"I was talking about free Art thing, don't you find it suspicious as this has never happened before" Nova frowning his brows asked Celes.
"I have a guess but.. I will not tell you" Celes replied.
"And why you can't tell me, don't say I am weak is the the reason" Nova.
"yes, that's the reason, if you reach SSS Rank I will tell you the reason for free Art thingy" Celes
"promise?" Nova
"yes, Promise" Celes
