He asked Kane, < what going on here? Is Sam also a main character?>
Kane's unsure voice came, [I don't know. There is no Sam in the novel man.]
For a moment, he doubted that all this time Kane had the illusion of them being part of the novel, but then the information Kane told him so far was mostly correct.
Kane even recognized Chris and those 2 girls in the class, but then how he missed Sam.
He asked, < Are you sure Sam was not part of the novel you read? Maybe you just missed him or the novel never mentioned him.>
[Nope, that's not possible. I read this exact scene in the novel. It is the opening scene and there is no Sam in the scene. Even in the first volume, there was never a mention of a character with Sam's name. Something changed?]
Silence!
None of them said anything. 100s of the theories came to his mind. Kane did explain to him about the butterfly effect, but there was no way a person with a legendary grade would pop up due to some butterfly effect.
There was just one theory that made sense here so he asked,
Not a second passed, Kane said, [Nope! If he had a second soul, then he would also go through element poisoning.]
It struck him, 'Right having two souls means element poisoning. He did not see Sam in the last group that came out from the mana chamber. It's damn clear this guy did not go through any element poisoning. But if that's not true, then what?' He wondered.
Kane said to him, [Let's take time and just observe Sam for now. If this guy knows about the future event, then he sure will give us a clue. ]
The commotion once again started in the whole classroom.
"Whoa, one more legendary potential."
"Bro, this guy even had the rare space element."
"Don't tell me Sam is also not part of a top family."
"Nope, he is also a commoner."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, Sam and Chris were in the same batch."
"Shit!..."
This time there was more craze among the students. Even Miss Luna was barely able to control her expression.
Soon She slammed her podium, which made everyone stop talking. She stared at the duo and said, "Take your seat."
There were only two seats left at the back end of the class, but at that moment, two of the Duisberg's in the front seat got up and moved to those back seats.
Jenny looked at the duo and politely pointed toward the empty seat next to her. He saw Chris hesitating at the start, but Sam just smiled and sat next to her. Chris soon followed Sam and sat in the first row.
Few of the students looked at the scene in frustration while most of them did not think much of it.
Miss Luna did not interfere with any of this and just smiled at Jenny. She looked up and said, "I think it is the best time for me to explain a few important things about the working of spirit wielders and the academy. Throughout the lecture, if you have any doubts, just ask it."
This made everyone sit attentively, and they relaxed after hearing the last part.
"Let's start with the spirit wielders. There is a myth that spirit wielders are the people who can use magic or mana. That is wrong. In reality, spirit wielder uses the element energy or some people also like to call it element mana."
Many had confusion on their faces and one boy in the front asked, "Mam what is this element mana and how do we get it?"
"The spirit inside our soul space absorbs the pure mana and then they release the element mana. Element mana is same as the pure mana, but it only has a few types of elements based on mana affinity.
If someone has a fire affinity, then the element mana his spirit produces will be red fire mana. If that person had 2 elements of affinity, then his element mana would be a combination of both elements. This is the core principle of how mana works for the spirit wielder. Always remember that."
Everyone in the class nodded. Now they understand why a normal person could not use mana when there is mana everywhere in the world.
One girl from the left asked, "Mam do Orcs and Vampire also have spirits?"
Miss Luna nodded. "Yes, all five peak species on the planet have spirit. It is not like spirits are the only creatures that can use mana directly. There are mutants, mana beasts, and many other creatures that don't have spirits, but they do develop some organs that help them use the mana."
Ayaz asked this time, "Mam does our potential have any effect on the element energy?"
"Good question. Before I answer, let me tell you that the quantity of element energy you can have at a time depends on your spirit level, and the element energy is stored in your soul space. But the quality of the element energy depends on your spirit potential."
She looked at Sam and Chris and said, "The higher potential you have, the more pure element mana your spirit will produce."
As she said, the entire class looked at those two with envy.
Miss Luna paused for a moment and continued, "I believe everyone understands the role of spirit and soul space. Now this takes us to an important question How can we use the spirit to increase our strength? After all our ultimate goal is to become a powerful spirit wielder. So any guesses?"
All the class shouted in unison, "Mana arts."
Miss Luna clapped, "Correct, the way to gain strength is by learning mana art."
