Chapter 3 - 3. Discovering Runecairn and The System

Runecairn the same day 8:30 AM

POV: Hyakki

After reciving "The System", Aria suggested to use the rest of day to relax e visit the city, while she explain with more detail about this word and the city itself. For starter the city is very large, maybe it's a little smaller then Tokyo but only a little, and is defendent by "The four mayor squad".

And they are:

"The Lion of EST, The Soldier of WEST, The guardian of SOUTH and lastly The Pillar of Nord.

As you can already guess the Squad are named after the area of the city they protect.

Aria informed us that for the next 2 month, we'll be awake our core then we will train our bodies to adat to the new power and enviroment. In this words excist two tipe of power "MANA" and "AURA". For the first is the one tha is used by sorcers and similar to cast incantetion and spell. Meanwhile the Aura is used by warrior to enhance their streng and physique.

the common thing in this word is to anwake one of the two, but there were very few cases of people anwaking both and the possibility to happen are like 1 on 10'000'000. After the 2 month we are going to a place called the "tower of destiny"

where one at time will chose is class, from what I understood depending on the we have and the quantitative of power in front of us will appear some cards each with a drawing and stars, the drawing rappresent the class while the stars rapprensent the rank it' goes from the weakest

1 Star

To the strongest

5 Star.

after chossing our class we get the oppurtunity to enter in one the four squad.

but this is not something that can be decided easily.

because every squad act in different way from the other.

like the Lion of the est since their aerea is a jungle kind mosty of them have a hunter or animal class tipe.Their primary job is to hunt animal and magical beast.

At west we have the squad of the Soldier thier area is normal urban one so they acceped all kind of class.

Then we have the Guardian at South, that area is where the principal gate is located and their job is to defend it from the intruder. Their mostly composed by tanker or any classes with high defence.

For last we have he Pillar of Nord, they the most important squad of the city, they are composed only by high talented mage type. It's mostly impossibile to enter in this squad because they the most strict of all squad, since their job is to cast long-ranged spell that reach everywhere in the city and use it for both attack and deffense.

Afer viviting the city and the explanation about the city Aria brouth us to castle "tis is were you'll all are goning to live" said Aria. She showed us that had a huge open training camp with lot spece with some dummies and wood weapon. "This is the training ground were all of you we'll be training." Said Aria then she brought us to the dining room she explained that the kichen were next to it but that we didn't need to do anything because there were already a group of chef ready to cook for us. After it She brouth us to the living room it was very spacious, it had differnt sofas some tabble and chairs and some bookshelf with different kind of books. Then she called us to center of the room "a moment of attention please, I'll now show you the disposition of the room." Then in front of us apperend a Blueish transperent screen like the one from [The System] only this time it showed list with our name number of the room and in wich floor we were, our class was composed by 13 male and 12 girls, so in the end it was decided to do like this six girls on the first floor the other six on the second. whilst the guys were six on the thirth floor while seven on the fourth floor. When we reached our room we found some clothes on the bed they were more in comon with this time stile and the screen of The System appered in front of each

[NAME: Workout Shirt]

[GRADE: D]

[EFFECT: A simple workout shirt made with resistent material

that at the same time remain flexible and transpirent.]

[NAME: Workout Pants]

[GRADE: D]

[EFFECT: A simple workout pant made with resistent marial

that are at the same time remain flexible and transpirent.]

The information the System gave us is very usefull for us to undestand the dinamic of this word, i did some kind of experiment with thi System to see what I can do and what I can't.

From what I discovered it's mostly work with one person mind. For eample i can open up a Status Window by only thinking about it. Inside I can find information like my name, level, class and my stat.

[NAME:HYAKKI]

[LVL:1]

[CLASS:???]

[STR:8]

[AGI:10]

[INT:15]

[PHY:7]

from what I can see my highest stat is Inteligent, then is more than confimed that i will anwake the mana core. But that not all from what I saw "The System" is provided with an invetory were I can store many different object. it even provide us a holographic map of aera around us. This is what I could get at the moment maybe when we get our class we'll be able to unlock other function.

After changing our clothes with the one they gave we all met up at living room were we met the our girl's classmate we that they a similar clothes to the one we wore but the girl's had short's that reached the knees. All of us stayed there to chat of what they think is going to happen. While I stayed by myself a bit fram from them minding my onw bussines, until i hear a voice next to me.

"Even in another word you prefere to stay alone brother."
