Henry followed the Card until he arrives at a sealed door but it opens with a crack and Henry just ignorantly follows inside.

'Fuck!! Is this the treasure flag!? A sealed door where important things are kept!!' Henry excitedly looks around but the room is just an old dusty one with only one table where a book is sitting. The chair automatically arranges itself for Henry to sit-on.

[Symphony of Soul]

It was the name of the book. The pages open in quick succession before stopping at the very center where Henry looks at the few visible words in two sentences.

[Life is a gamble of fate. Composed of good and bad.]

His left-hand tattoo where is grimoire is hidden glows and the book also shines before burning in purple flame.

Henry started to panic but then the ashes fly toward his left hand and the glow vanishes.

"Shit!!" Henry started to get anxious but he calmed down after having his common sense back and command his Grimoire to appear. As it appears in with Merkaba Symbol different from the normal Single Triangle. On the very first page is a verse etched on it in purple ink.

[At first, there is darkness before the light came. Flash of breathing red light all it takes for all things to come to life.]

Henry unconsciously spoke the verse and a weak vortex invisible to the naked eye appears. It was sucking energies from the air slowly as it pours into his nose as he repeatedly chants the verse. Inside his body, the Merkaba Core lying on his throat was being bombarded by entering wisp of energies. It was a spectacular show of kaleidoscope colors.

Rather than being compressed the core somehow becomes bigger and bloated like a snake stuffed with a hog inside it.

"*Burp!!* That feels good..." Henry mumbles finally ending his chanting. The core inside him was revolving like it was digesting food. Henry came to realization and got out.

"How long was it already?" Henry ask Hagard who was at the desk.

"3 hours, how was it?" Hagard asks with excitement.

"Haaa!! Fun and exciting!" Henry blurted out. He has a smile on his face imagining the feeling like he eats 10 times more than he could and still feels okay.

"Hahaha!! I know right!? My first time knock me out cold for days as I went swimming in my mindscape. It's addicting but also dangerous. Remember that you must not push yourself to the limit as Magic Core is also a type of muscle that when the push to breaking limit it may burst and explode," Hagard gave him advice and also a reminder. Henry seriously nodded at his words.

"Thank you! I'll get going for now!" Henry said running out of the library and boarding the mover back to the lecture room.

Henry didn't see D inside but Jin and others are already inside. Then a black door appears at the front stage. Henry quickly assimilated with a warrior with a shield at the front. D steps out of the door with an amused smile.

"Those who choose Hex follow me," D said while Navea and the rest got outgoing toward the library quickly. Henry just remains in his compartment. Gaz got up following D with another one Henry didn't know.

D then got back again.

"All of you follow me. It will waste our time if I make it like this," D wave at them. They all enter the black door and arrive in a green clearing plain in the square. It spans about 500 sqr meters.

"Necromancy, at the south corner, Voodoo at the North, Alchemy at east and west for undecided," D said following the necromancer. He lasted for an hour before coming toward the west where Henry, Jin, and Oghar are at.

"So how about you three?"

"We three wanted to follow a warrior's path but we don't know how to fused magic to it," Henry said honestly. D smiles at them.

"It's easy, we just need to know what weapon you three wanted first," D asks.

"My fist will be my main weapon!" Jin yelled rattling his bones all over the places as he jumps side to side while punching out like a boxer.

"I want an ax that will eat bones and blood from my slain foe!!" Oghar cleaves his axe on the ground.

"Hmm... I want a great sword, scythe, and guns to look as cool as possible."

The three stare at Henry with astonishment. D in his trademark smirk. Henry just shrugged his shoulders and be done with it.

"Now then, what effect do you want your weapon to have?"

"Hmm, I can already cause soul damage every punch I successfully hit. I'm still don't have a range that has quicker casting speed," Jin said while the other two still thinking.

"Why don't you make something like Henry's thread and mini-explosion boost and turn it to suit your need more? On the surface world, there is a thing called vector and sonic. You don't have flesh to be afraid of air resistance. Try to learn on those two if you can if not then we will search for another way." D walk toward Oghar.

"Is it possible for a weapon to devour flesh, blood, and bones to strengthen your weapon? I also wanted to create my cloud!!" Oghar inquired and D thinking deeply.

"We could work on that but that's rather a darker side of black magic or rather blood magic no one is better than us in using blood magic. Why don't you just make spells that spread a miasma that will weaken your enemy?"

"Ohh!! That's better! I can also make the miasma inescapable!! Hahaha!!" Oghar laughs heartily.

"Henry would you?" D stands in front of Henry.

"I want a big ass sword that has a reflective effect, and each successful slash will inflict poison. A gun that can shoot detonating bullets with different curses and lastly a scythe that every cut will devour blood and that channel to me to heal, relieve fatigue, and magic essence," Henry have an exciting look as he listed what he wanted. D just gave him a deadpan stare.

"Do you know that what you wish will take lots of time before it was even half complete? Okay, then I'll help you with that but you need to learn blood magic, every curse but poison is bad. You'll waste materials during the hunting season. I advise searching for a toxin that will cause paralysis and dizziness." D left Henry after talking and Henry got out of the place going toward the library again for books.
