Breaktime had ended, and Class 1B had their last classes before school ended.
Along with their classmates, Xavier and Jupiter went into their classroom and settled in to wait for their teacher, who would be teaching them about the Ancient Rune Language.
Then the door to the classroom opened, shocking all the children to discover that their teacher was an elf.
It was the first time the students had ever seen an elf, let alone one that was in the human world, so they gazed in wonder.
Their elf instructor apologized sincerely for being late, saying, "I had a meeting with the school councils."
Their elven teacher continued, pushing back her gorgeous long dark-purple hair and saying, "My name is Faelwen Brightmind."
"And I will be your teacher, and I will be teaching you all about ancient Rune language and how to use it," she said.
Miss Faelwen looked around the classroom, but when she saw Xavier sitting peacefully at his desk, she was instantly filled with fear and shock.
"Who on earth is he?" she asked, sweating profusely as her purple eyes began to glow brightly.
Miss Faelwen noticed that Xavier did not possess an ethereal core within him. But with her Eyes of Revelation, she glimpsed something much more terrifying than that within Xavier.
In addition to providing her with insight into whatever she saw, the Eyes of Revelation made all hidden forces that are invisible to mortal eyes visible to her.
Miss Faelwen looked uncomfortable and perspiring, and one of her students asked, "Is everything alright, Miss?"
Regaining her composure, Miss Faelwen replied, "Yes, I'm alright, just a little tired," while wiping the lens of her glasses.
Coughing awkwardly, Miss Faelwen began her lecture.
"Since this is you guys' first time learning about the ancient rune, I will first explain to you all what it is before we put it into practice," remarked Miss Faelwen.
"Now, ancient rune language, also known as The Runes of Eldoria, is a conceptual language created by the Supreme Being, known as Dragon God Eldoria.".
"Eldoria, the Dragon God, was one of Origin's two all-powerful creations. Additionally, he had the title of imperial dragon king.
"Dragon God Eldoria was the very first dragon to be created by Origin and was also the founder of the Great Dragon Regaliath Family."
"He was a very powerful creature who possessed true omnipotence, and his understanding of ethereal force and core was beyond mortal comprehension.".
"His possession of a colorless ethereal core was what truly set him apart. which is the zero-stage core, above the Grand Herrschers' nigh-omnipotent power.
"And so he was given the title of Supreme Being, a boundless entity that possessed powers beyond omnipotence itself."
"Supreme Being?, There exists a stage that is above a pure-white core, Grand Herrscher?" a shocked student asked, raising their hands.
Miss Faelwen said, "Yes," in response.
"But there are only two entities who currently have that title: Dragon God, Eldoria, the Supreme Being of Dragons, and Beast."
"And Voidless, the Devourer of Dreams, the Supreme Being of Dreams and Imagination,"
"So with all that knowledge and wisdom the Dragon God Eldoria possessed, he decided to create a language that would help the four great races to be able to perfect and harness their gifted abilities."
"And be able to understand better the ethereal force and core they possessed and the universe we live in."
"So with the possession of the Runes of Eldoria, the four great races were able to reach new highs, and that's where the 7 stages of the ethereal core were formed.".
After Miss Faelwen finished telling them the tale, all of the students said, "Wow..." in amazement.
Miss Faelwen smiled, pleased at their admiration for her tale.
"Anyways, The Runes of Eldoria is very important for one to learn and understand how to use," Miss Faelwen said, putting back her glasses.
"Because it will help you better understand your abilities, and it is also one of the two key factors needed to achieve a high ethereal core stage.".
Miss Faelwen then said, "I assume that Instructor Joshua has already told you about the first method of reaching higher stages, right?". To which the students nodded in response.
"Great, because one has to be physically capable to withstand the growth of their ethereal core and the energy within it.".
"And so for The Runes of Eldoria, it will help you tap into more of the boundless energy within your core and refine it.".
"Which, in technical terms, implies that there is a more powerful, refined, and mastered stage for every seven core stages."
"And it is between your current stage and the stage to come.".
After explaining the Runes of Eldoria to all of the students, Miss Faelwen began her next class.
It would test their existing understanding of what the Runes of Eldoria are.
"Now, for the next lesson, we will try to put The Runes of Eldoria to practice.".
"By using it to check what level of stage you are in," Miss Faelwen said.
"It's important to note that the Runes of Eldoria are more than just words or letters before we get started."
"Additionally, they could be used by utilizing mathematical symbols and numerals".
Next, Miss Faelwen took chalk to write the words "power," "formation," and "reveal" on the chalkboard.
She then said, "To begin with, try saying this incantation I wrote on the board."
After reciting those incantations, all of the students were completely left speechless as a little, bright blue light appeared at the palm of their palms.
"You see, that little glowing light is the ethereal force that is within your core," Miss Faelwen stated.
She went on, "And that blue color indicates that you are all in the beginner stage."
One of the male students said in excitement, "Wow, this is so awesome!"
"Yeah, I agree!" another student added. "It looks so cool."
To which Miss Faelwen smirked proudly.
Miss Faelwen started to move around the classroom while the kids stared in interest at the bright blue light on their hands, before coming to a halt directly next to Xavier's desk. As she watched Xavier express his contentment, she learned that he was just beginning.
Miss Faelwen used The Eyes of Revelation on Xavier once more, gazing coldly at him as she did so.
Then Miss Faelwen thought to herself, "Dragons may be more skilled at using the Runes of Eldoria than elves are."
"However, we are unmatched when it comes to using the ethereal force and core."
"As we understand the ethereal core and energy better than any other race,"
She then thought to herself, "But this boy... no, I can't even call this creature a boy," as she began to sweat uncomfortably.
"He doesn't even possess an ethereal core.".
"How is that even possible?".
With her Eyes of Revelation, she saw that there was nothing where the ethereal core should have been.
But in its place was an infinitely large pool of ethereal energy that flowed like the roaring oceans.
"This child is a freak of nature, just like that born Herrscher of a monster, Aleksander."
And as she walked away, she thought to herself, "I can't believe those two monsters are related.".
As Miss Faelwen approached Jupiter's desk, she was shocked to see that the bright light on Jupiter's hand was yellow rather than the usual blue of the beginner stage.
Miss Faelwen asked herself, "Is he already at the intermediate stage at the age of 3 years old?" with astonishment.
Miss Faelwen then said to Jupiter, "Oh, I didn't realize someone in this class was already in the intermediate stage."
The fact that Jupiter's ethereal core was already at the intermediate level astounded the entire class.
"What? "Jupiter, I had no idea you were a genius!" exclaimed Xavier, looking surprised and excited.
Jupiter was flushed and said, "Well, I never really knew that I was at the intermediate stage, to begin with," in an embarrassed response.
"You're very awesome," Xavier answered. And that caused Jupiter to laugh awkwardly and flush with shame.
Miss Faelwen smirked and said to herself, "It seems like this class is full of geniuses this year."
