28 Duel

"Can you leave now?" Navea looks at Elferin the spoiled night elf. He nodded and enter the room he occupied. Kellen walk closed to the door and stick a scroll. Markings crawl out of the scroll enclosing the room.

"I don't like him..." Kellen said going back.

"Okay, Let's start... I wanted to tell all of us here that we need to cooperate and with that, we can't study the same thing. We need some of us to focus on one path of black magic. Curse, Hex, Voodoo, Puppetry, Necromancy, Poison, and Alchemy. This is what I know as the basic path of our branch," Navea gave a good suggestion and everyone accepted but Kellen raised his hand.

"What if we pick the wrong path for us and we are better at the other but someone is already doing it?" Kellen raised a perfect scenario very possible to happen.

"That is why we will have a trial... In my birthplace, we have what I call Calling Divination. This week, every day we will change a topic. Using Calling Divination, we will know what path we likely to focus on and excel more. Will, Soul, and spirit always combined when they came to one conclusion and that is the principle of Calling Divination. It will measure the synchronization of the three during the process," Navea said while looking at the other Nymph who has a smirk on his face while nodding.

"I get it, what nice information you have but I already know my calling. I'm destined to create the greatest summons of all!" Celedor proclaimed with his arms wide open. Henry looks amused as the boring meeting somehow has a twist with weird ones being in.

"Okay, that's acceptable," Kellen said.

"Who will get the books?" Oghar ask? Everyone turned to Henry who is having fun watching them all.

"What?"

"Nothing, you just need to get all the books we need. You're closed to the librarian, right? Go use your head..." Navea replies shaking her head.

"Done... I'll go now. But remember, you guys hate me. The only rule I need you all do agree when we are outside," Henry said leaving the room.

"Hey what's wrong with him?" Kellen ask.

"Just play along, I know he won't do anything bad for us," Navea replied with confidence.

"Hahaha!! A warrior like him will surely do anything to protect his mate!!" Oghar shouted and Navea blushes from his words. Everyone then nodded with a knowing smile.

"Now, let's start the real meeting." Navea calm down and became serious. She goes to the kitchen. Coming back with a jag of water and floating glasses," Navea then gave them all the glasses and makes the jag pour out green water to the glasses.

"I want you all to prink a drop of blood to the water and drink it when I say."

Everyone did what she said except for Jin and Celeste who look at her weirdly.

"Sorry, dip your finger on the water for you two..."

It didn't take long before the water change in color. Yūya, Kellen, Celedor, Celeste, and Vinz' glass of water become black with a streak of white lines. Jin, Hibbly, Oghar have a dancing fire inside their black water. The remaining have the same reaction being spinning black water with different spin speeds.

"Drink it..." Navea did it first and everyone followed. The core inside them started to spin rapidly guiding the water that soon becomes a vapor of energy. When it touches the core everyone shuddered in shock.

"What is that?" Celeste ask. If Jin is a skeleton Celeste is like a zombie with no deformity except for her pupil-less eyes.

"Talent awakening, we just did a ritual for talent awakening. Now you all know where you can focus on. The con is your learning speed of other stuff besides your talent will worsen." Navea answered with everyone having a grateful nod at her.

"Shaman is true about what he said huh... Nymphs are guides..." Belto mumbles but everyone heard it. Celedor nodded at his words but remained tame in his seat.

"My job is done, how you will advance is on your own," Navea said walking toward the door and tried to open it but got back to the group with a blush.

The group started to chat. Stories were told to ease the boredom. Stress that piled up seems to vanish and having fun for some time.

"I'm here madam!" Henry shouted opening the door. On his shoulder is the sling bag Hagard gave him. Henry then dumps all the books he got on his bag before stowing away again his own sets of books.

"Nice work!" Jin complements and Henry just flashes a thumbs up with a smile.

Navea let them get what they needed.

"Hey!! Fight me!!" Oghar yelled at Henry and Jin.

Henry pointed at himself and Jin. Oghar nodded at them and pull out his ax. Henry runs out of the room with Oghar following him.

"Fuck you orc!!"

When they arrive at the large clearing at the center. Oghar slashes his Axe at him where a wave of black flame came flying toward Henry. He got shocked at his action and quickly jumps to avoid.

"[Spirit Warrior Assimilate!]"

In front of Henry, a panel of warriors appear and he quickly chooses a big man. Rollo of Normandy (911–927) – Viking who became the first ruler of Normandy. He was so tall that there was no horse who could bear his weight. In battle, he dominated his foes and was successful in gaining large tracts of land in France.

His upper body opened with only his head and waist being covered by leather armor with metal guards on his shoulder and a cape with white fur on his neck. Sword and a shield with two pointy edges at top and bottom on his hand.

"Fight!!!" Henry yelled attracting the people's attention.

"Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!!" Cheers rung as humans among the students recognize the armor.

"Haaa!!!" Oghar brings down his ax to Henry and he then diverted the ax with his shield before swing his sword to his knees.

*Ding!!*

It meets the knee bone but the sound of the clash seems like a collision of metal.

"Haaa!! Your powerful compared to a normal human! Fight!!" Oghar yelled in warcry. Making a large horizontal cleaving toward Henry. He being only reaching Oghar's chest gave Henry more space to move and dodge. He tumbles forward and slammed his shield to his guts and tripping his overextended right leg that lowered his height.

Oghar then fell on his back.

"Haaa!!!" Henry gave a loud warcry but didn't try to follow with another strike. Jin helped Oghar up. He looks at other audiences that having amused and some having awe mostly humans.

"Any more!!? Who wants to fight!??" Henry yelled still in frenzy. Jin looks back to the hallway he came from and sees Navea nodding at him.
