๑This is interesting, a dark elf huh?๑

~Is there a way for us to know what dark elves are?~

۶Wait, no it's too easy, the lady said the rune necklace has all information needed۶

◯Gosh, why do you have to be such a genius!◯

๑We'' investigate the rune later, we can't do it right now in front of people๑

"I have never met a dark elf before"-said Caleb

"There is a stigma with us dark elves, people believe us to be evil-aligned but we are not"- the guy sounded embarrassed and could not look Caleb in the eye.

"Nice to meet you Airdan"

Airdan, Scarlet, and Caleb talked for a while before a tall guy in his sixties, with slick black hair, white milky skin, and two pointed fangs came into barrack B.

"Hello, student, my name is Azriel Noctem, I am the recruiter for the Reaper Academy, you three passed your exam so we will meet you here at the Behemoth in exactly two weeks, you have until then to finish preparing for the academy. You can only bring one spatial rune and whatever you want inside. The size of the rune does not matter but it can only be one. I will come to pick you up so we can travel west to the Undead Woods where the Reaper Academy is. Any questions?"

"No sir!"- said the three new students in unison as in the military.

◇Dude, is he a vamp?◇

۶Yesss! I love vamps۶

๑We really need to investigate how that information rune works๑

~We will also have to store it inside the spatial rune if that is even possible~

۶Rune-ception۶

Caleb then said goodbye for now to his new associates and went back to his original hotel, it had been a few tiring weeks and now he could finally remove his uniform to go Echoing one more time and prepare all kinds of spells.

The spells sold here were accessible to everyone but there were some spells that belonged to certain classes. Some were physical while other magical, so until Caleb chose a class and then a specialization, they could buy all type of spells, except the ones that were characteristic of each class like ༒Barbarian's will༒ or ༒Friend of the woods༒ which was a Hunter spell. The specialized spells were way more powerful than their non-specialized counterpart.

In the hotel room, Caleb first tried putting the information rune inside of the spatial one, what happened was not what they expected. As the two runes were put together and mana was supplied, a blinding light shone and the two runes merged together creating a spatial/information rune. They then used the spatial part of them and it worked perfectly, the information part was next. They supplied mana and the thought of the desired information and it flowed into their brain.

Dark elves

Race: elf

Dark elves are a special type of elves that specialize in the shadow elements, They were elves who were exiled from the Badven Rainforest due to their innate connection with the shadow elements. Elves are a proud race that believed such alignment would corrupt them.

The elves then roamed Eraos in search of a new home, they found the Undead Forest. The undead residing in the forest allowed them to stay and so the dark elves faction was born. They hate the normal elves. They do not like being disturbed. However, younglings are usually weak compared to other races but once they find their inner shadow, they are one of the most proficient users in shadow magic.

Vampires

Race: undead

Vampires are one of the Ancient races of Eraos. They have lived in the Undead forest for thousands of years, they love new things and support young talents. Their lifespan is around three hundred years. They like blood from any race but specially beastmen. They are proficient in shadow and blood magic.

◇Wait what?!◇

๑Blood magic huh? Now that is an interesting development๑

◯Wait but Nya didn't say anything about that◯

๑Perhaps it is not an element, so it is not elemental magic๑

~How many types of non-elemental magic are there?~

๑So far spatial and blood magic, however, I have a feeling there are lots of other magic types in the world.๑

They continued Echoing in the two weeks they had and then spent all their flowers and petals in grimoires, tomes, scrolls, books, and opuscules. They had hundreds of spells at their disposal.

Rank: D+

They had to make another card after their name changed from Caleb Silverfang to Caleb Umbra, Ty believed Silverfang sounded way better but he had no say in the matter.

Due to their new rank as a D+ Echo, they were allowed to do more dangerous quests but it also allowed them an opportunity to practice their new spells and make them their own. They also practiced the elements they would not be practicing soon as in the Academy they could not practice every element without raising flags.

"The kid is on his way Garzar"-said Nya

"Thanks, I will make sure he knows the ways of the shadows."

Nya then walked away, her black leaf gown flowing behind her as she turned. She was a mesmerizing view. The black-robed skeleton stayed in the middle of the fog that surrounded the Undead Forrest looking east, where Caleb was. He could feel the kid would be a truly wonderful pupil, however, he would want to try him as an opponent first. One needed to be sure if he had the resolve and the guts of a warrior.

Plans started plotting in Garzar's head, he always loved pranks, after all, how deadly could a prank be?
