Noticing that her essential rate got reduced by one degree, she recalled that her core is broken which means she will be leaking essential most of the time. She grumbled at the fact that her essential capacity is leaking, like it wasn't just enough being it already low.

"One more note to keep in mind, if you have a good team with you, as a main damage dealer you won't suffer at the beginning".

Hurricane stated this drawing Feng's attention.

"Alright, I think this is all for the basics, any questions?".

All hands lifted up at once, she sighed then pointed at excited Sara.

"Yes, student Sara?"

"So...can someone with sphere or rectangular core be a main attacker on a team?"

Rubbing her chin she replied: "Well, they can but...it require two things, one is high affinity mastery, or two... a fancy soul weapon with high attack rate. However, with these requirements the pyramid core are way stronger than the others, or at least when having one of these".

They complained making a fuss about it, then lowered their hands down except for Sky.

"What's affinity mastery and essential absorp..tion?"

Hurricane gestured shaking her head saying:

"Dante really didn't tell you anything, huh? Maybe I should give him a hell earful when he gets back".

Sky awkwardly avoided Hurricane's eyes hearing Dante's name, yet of course it's not a secret for the academy since they have the same last name.

"Anyways, affinity mastery is the knowledge you gain from using and understanding your element's features.Take Natalie for example, water affinity have healing properties, so if she had full understanding about it's nature she will develop a skill, it's very important to keep boosting it in order to enhance your strength".

Natalie was startled staring at the skill heal lv1, it's seems she have already learned it but she have no idea when or where? But passed her thought maybe it was during the trials.

"Oh! almost forgot, as for absorption or absorption rate is how rapid your essential shifts to your soul weapon. Of course, with the recommended weapon by the chip's system, you can avoid the rapid drop. Now if there is no more questions let's get to the next lesson, mana affinity".

The students groaned in distress, which just fell in dead ears.

" Hey! remember you're not here to goof around, you're here to be nigh...haa... nightwalkers..."

Yawning lazily, Hurricane got back to her screen. She obviously seemed board, which wasn't encouraging for the students either. She then walked toward the empty desk next to Sara and sat over it stating:

"Mana affinity is the element's trait that your soul core is drawn into. Here they are divided into four prime elements: main element, branch element, divine element, lastly the elements of unknown origin. In the main elements, we have fire, wind, earth, water which give their users the ability to recover the essentials faster than normal people, these are the common among the main. As for branch element like lighting, poison, plants, metal...etc.They buff their user speed..."

Natalie and Sara sighed in relief hearing that, continuing with explanation, Hurricane said:

"Divine element, there is light, shadow, and...um..honestly I only know the basic ones since users of these elements are close to none.They also have unic abilities, some say they can teleport or travel through space...Ah..."

Suddenly her face beamed, gesturing she continued:

"Some say they can summon outer existence... that's a bit exciting, don't you think?However, like I said nobody knows the truth since everything is like the fog surrounding Camo. Actually, they are similar to those of unknown origin element.They suddenly show up on this land although the Greens tried many times to track their origin but end to fail. A mystery indeed".

That threw Sky to think deeply about her affinity, How can she increase a mastery that even the academy doesn't know much about it. She gazed once more at her screen, thinking is it even written right? maybe they were mistaken.

"With this I can say I covered most of the topic, from now on it's your turn to work harder and figure things out on your own".

Hurricane exclaimed as her gazes were locked on both Sky and Feng.

"Now that the morning is approaching, I will give you twenty minutes break. All of you after that, wear your training suites and meet me at training center, it's the under ground floor of the teacher's hall".

Being contented with that, she stood up then left the classroom in haste, they couldn't be more befuddled.Their thoughts were a mess.

'Twenty minutes only? I got here in ten minutes and the dorms...'

Sky's thoughts screamed looking through the window at the far away dorms. All of them got up immediately coming into same conclusion. They run through the hallways while stuffing breads on their mouths.

"We should eat...get ready...rest and be there just in twenty minutes?!! Are you kidding me!!" Shouted Sara.

"Rest? that wasn't an option to begin with!" Ironically, stated Sky.

"And why the hell this hallway is too long!" Shouted Sara again.

Finally reaching the dorm, she dashed up to her room panting, her expression turned sour right away looking at Cheryl sleeping like a top, drooling. Since she has no time to waist, she ignored the feeling to kick her. Putting on the black training suit similar to that she wore on the trials, the only difference...it was more comfortable and not very tight. Remembering cake treats that Cheryl bought earlier, she stuff some in a hurry while closing the door.

Running back to teacher's hall she met with the others halfway, at that moment, they only thought of how she wasn't joking about the class being too long today.

A long time passed, where the gray layers of the new morning slowly shifted into darker shades. Sky dragged her corpse-like body way back to dorms, full of bruises from the hellish combat training they got from Hurricane. She opened the door and walked with heavy steps across the room, then threw her body on the bed, her buried face muted the groans. Not noticing that Cheryl sat on the bed beside her, spacing out on the air, as she was reading something on her screen.

"Fancy to see your face after a day and half, piper".

Not having energy to talk back, she raised up her middle finger then heard Cheryl laughing.

"Lady Hurricane really pushed you guys over the edge. Although it might be hard but it's kinda nice to have a caring teacher, unlike that Helton, I swear sometimes I just want... huh..Sky! Are you listening?!"

Cheryl asked but the only reply she got was a loud snore.Time flies and Sky's eyelids flattered then opened, she yawned while getting up, stretching her hands up with a broad smile.

"Healed...the magic bed is so powerful..."

She said looking revived with a lazy soft undertone.

"It's a normal bed...so..you up?".

Cheryl asked while wearing her shoes ready to go.Turning her gazes outside the window, she noticed it's already mid-dark, not much time passed since she got back.

"Where are you going this late?"

" Well,...Helton invited student from both class (A) and (B) to a party in teacher's hall, it's on the twelfth floor, for god's sake do you believe it?".

Sky nodded trying to fix up her messy hair not paying much attention.

"So...you want to come?"

She switched over to a disgusted expression instantly, Cheryl chuckled then waved goodbye at the door before she left.

Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
