As Claude was passing through village square he saw the square filled with children and one or two teenagers among them who got awaken with him and few who came from Martin group.
Everyone one of them were sitting on the village square ground and infront of them was Jake waving his hands in air to the childrens to make them calm down.
"Please be quite, don't make any unnecessary noise."
"Listen up I'm going to talk about warrior, knight and mage class rank and its very important to know this."
Everyone became quite after that as they don't know about this class rank and even Claude stopped in his track as this he's first time hearing about this.
No one has has told him yet about class rank, he thoughts only awakening power matters that's all.
"First I'm going to tell you about mage class rank as I'm also mage."
"Mage class have six class rank based on their powers."
"Novice*
"Apprentice"
"Mage"
"High mage"
"Great mage"
"Archmage"
"First one is novice those who just awakened their powers are called novice."
"Second one is apprentice, apprentice study under their mentor about magic, mana, magic circle, magic formation, magic crystal and everything that one has to know."
"Third is Mage those who complete their studies under their mentor or graduate from respected university are called mage as they're full-fledged mage mastering all the knowledge and understanding of mana and the world. They can act independent or still work under their mentor."
"Fourth is High mage as it might sounds bit weird but they're one of the powerful existence in this world known by many and power to reckon with they can obliterate entire city with their magic power."
Everyone got awe by hearing this as who doesn't want to be powerful enough to respected and fear by everyone and known throughout the world.
Claude can't imagine how whole city can obliterate by single mage.
Jake saw everyone face some had face full of respect while some had fear in their eyes but he still continues his speech cause he doesn't want to interrupt the flow of his speech.
"Fifth is great mage they fight with entire nation army and can still comes out alive. Now, you can imagine how strong they are."
"Sixth and the final class is Arch-mage. Only Arch-mage can kill or defeat another Arch-mage from this statement all of you can imagine their strength, one single Arch-mage can destroy the kingdom."
"All the Arch-mage in the world can be counted on two hands fingers."
"No amount of knowledge and mana is enough to be one, no matter how genius one might think they're but they won't become Arch-mage, to be one you have to monster."
"That's how rare it is to be Arch-mage."
Just as Jake stopped all the children start to chattering out loud as they learning about this for first time, few children knew about this before but they always gets shocked and awe by Arch-mage power.
One kid raised he's hand in the air to ask question.
"What's your mage class, big brother Jake."
Jake laughed and kindly respond, "I'm still mage class after few years I'll be High mage."
"Even though I'm still at mage class and didn't reach high mage yet, I'm still power mage don't underestimate me childrens."
Jake had he's way with talking with kids, no one feels uncomfortable while talking with him. He's friendly elder brother that everyone likes to play.
"Now, it time for knight."
"Knight also have six class."
"Squires"
"Knight"
"True knight"
"Great knight"
"Shield holder of truth"
"Knight of the law"
"To become knight usually one has to start working as page after that when get recognised by knight they start working as squires but page doesn't have important task that's why they're not mantioned in knight class even though its the first step to be knight."
"Squires is someone who works under knight and get trained till they become one,
The squire would sometimes carry the knight's flag into battle with his master"
"knighthood is generally granted by King or Emperor and to recognise some meritorious achievement you accomplish."
"As you become strong and achieve more meritorious achivement and bring honour your knight class become better."
"Well, I don't know much about knight class not gonna lie but with every rank increased they get stronger each rank is world apart from eachother."
"Great knight can single-handedly destroy the city."
"Shield holder of truth are worthy enough to be kings royal guards, most shield holder of truth are royal family guards as they must protect them."
"Knight of the law you can count their numbers on your fingers."
"Warrior also has six rank."
"Rookie/trainee warrior"
"Warrior"
"True warrior"
"Great warrior"
"Battle warrior"
"Destruction warrior"
"Just like mage and knight they're strong too based on their rank."
"Okay, that's it children."
"Does anyone has any questions."
"What a lame explanation you got their for warriors." Dave said as he suddenly appeared behind the Jake out of nowhere.
"What do you mean by that, is it you guys are as strong as knight and mage on every level why waste extra time on explaining that they will all understand that." Jake said while laughing awkwardly.
"Oh, I didn't hear that quite right."
"We warriors are much more stronger than mage, we can even beat mage one rank higher than us in fight." Dave said that proudly.
"Why don't you said the same things to knight than I'm sure they would love to show you truth." Jake isn't going to back down from his words.
"Given enough time for preperation, we can take on many warriors on same rank."
"We mage have our own ranking unlike warrior that made of Archer, Swordsman, Berserker and many others in just one class." Jake laughed while saying this as he enjoy teasing Dave unlike other as all of them are bit more serious all the time.
While Jake and Dave arguing with eachother they saw one boy raised his hand for asking
qestion he had in his mind.
"Sir, I'm sorry disturbed but I have one question."
"What's you want to know kid." Dave asked in hurry.
"Sir, I want to know what are the witches class ranks." Kid asked with nervousness in his voice, as if he built up all he's courage to ask this question.
Dave face became grave upon hearing little boy question, he shook his and look straight into the boy eyes.
"This isn't something you should know at this age, you are still child."
"There are many things in this world that knowing would make us cursed just by knowing it."
"So, just remember witches only have two rank."
"Neophyte and Witch."
"Neophyte is someone who trained under witches, after that they become full-fledged witch."
"Now, that's it kid go and play with your friends."
Claude learned new thing today and about this world, every class has five rank and even though he didn't understood why they refused to talking anything about witches.
Claude wasn't dumb enough to ask them again as they don't want to talk about it, Claude pick up his pace to where he was first going.
Knock knock
Susan lifted her head to look at who's knocking at the door and she saw Claude standing there with bag in his hand.
"Claude you are back hope you had good times in the woods." Grandma Mary chuckle while saying this to Claude.
""You know its always fun there I will bring you there tomorrow."
"Ohh, I would love to but this old bones will just drag you down."
"Nahh, it won't." Claude laugh.
"How you doing Susan."
"I'm good." Just like always Susan doesn't respond to anything much, even when everyone makes fun of her she just always have this poker face.
"Still working late here Susan, you should go out and play with other girls around your age." Claude just hope that Susan doesn't get left out by everyone around her age later on.
"Ohh she's helping me out cause some brat decide to be hunter instead of being mage that he is." Grandma Mary said that in sarcasm.
"I've to learn little bit of everything to make living, its not that bad either."
"Well, I bought some pull skein, needles, threads and wooden knitting needles." Claude opened the bag that he was carrying and revealed the things that he bought today
"I couldn't buy sheepskin cause it really expensive and I'm afraid even if we gathered all the money we have we won't be able to buy it."
"It wasn't the right deal for us."
"That's good to hear, you starting to learn things and buy material, we at still few sheepskin here in storage room to make robe Claude."
"Claude you should get ready to help me out in kitchen tonight as we are going to make chicken soup for dinner tonight."
"You can't make excuses that you tired today and can't help out with kitchen work." Grandma Mary said while looking at Claude who was laughing bit silly after hearing heard words.
