Knowledgable Servant

Once I left the room, I went straight to the classes, it seems that I slept for many days that they started without me. The hospital was on the top floor of the school's main building, descending one floor down I found the room where teachers, school staff, and administration staff were situated at. The floor below was where the S classes are taken.

The main school building had a total of ten floors, starting from the underground lab, the entrance, and the classes. From F to S and two more floors, administration and the hospital.

Entering each floor requires one to swipe their card on a pad that will activate the elevator to take them to their classroom or where they wish. Low-class cards can only take one of their respective classes so that F students don't end up entering S classes, however, any class can enter a lower level classroom. And S class can enter any classroom.

I was looking rather haggard, however, thankfully I found a new suit which I had worn before getting down. Still, I was feeling some lingering pain my muscles were hurting all over and I was barely able to properly walk

'You need the body and Qi restoration pill as soon as possible Basara, you don't really look like the person who defeated one of them at all' said Nocturne with a hint of sarcasm.

'Sigh. I would need to wait for the Headmaster to bring me the resources first. It is very difficult to move now… though I can cultivate and repair some of the damage it will take a lot of time to fully restore my body.' I replied

I swiped my card at the door to the S class and found a huge room with a lot of people already seated in luxurious looking chairs. It was an amphitheater of a great size where many people looked to be quite attentive looking at an old woman who was explaining something.

The room was vast, however, the attendants were not many, some of them, however, turned to look at me.

"Oh, it's the servant boy, finally he arrived." Said someone from the front seats.

"Silence!" said the woman who I think is this room's teacher.

She was rather old, had white hair and looked a bit stern.

"Basara, I presume," said the woman whose voice boomed throughout the class.

I nodded to her, yet she said

"I don't really know what you have between you and the Headmaster, nor do I care. In this room, I am the one that has the first and last say. You seem to be lacking some manners, this class has already started and you arrived quite late, I don't tolerate such behavior." She said

"I was hospitalized my lady" I replied

"Here, you call me professor. Leave the titles to your master and those above your status. And frankly I don't care, even if you were at death's bed you should still enter this class in time. Now tell me, Basara, due to your absence I will need to ask you something before you enter this class." She said

"How many assimilation layers can someone achieve throughout their lifetimes and what is the secret behind breaking through the realms of power?"

Many students smirked at me, probably thinking I will not know the answer

"What is it?" said the old woman "if you don't know the answer to such an easy question how are you entitled to study here?" she said

'What an absurd question, this is the most common facts. There are a total of fifteen known layers, the first five are body tempering where the cultivator tries to get rid of the impurities within his body, the second is spirit tempering where the cultivator assimilates qi into their body unlocking the meridians and his Dantian and channels energy between them, the last layer is the saint layer, where the cultivator channels the Qi outside their body forging weapons or armors at will and bending the world to his command, flight is even possible at that level' said Nocturne

"I believe I can answer that question," I said.

"Please do," said the old woman.

I repeated Nocturne's words, and once I finished the explanation, some of the students began to laugh.

"He doesn't even know that there are only ten levels of Assimilation, he even called it Cultivation, it seems that this servant is only speaking nonsense to appear knowledgable. Too bad we all learned about the ten layers of assimilation yesterday, and he can't fool us." A student said this while the others laughed at me.

'Huh? What are they talking about? Nocturne is this true?' I asked

'No, they must have been misinformed' Replied nocturne without care.

"Silence!" said the woman "You there, you have been interrupting order too many times, -100 points." She said and it seems that due to the pale face of the student he must have lost some credit on his card.

"Hmm, You, child. Though I have mentioned only ten levels of assimilations, I indeed didn't speak about a third layer. What you have said, is true and correct. I didn't want to explain about the third layer due to how hard it is to reach or breakthrough it right now. The technique to reach that realm has long since been lost and rare are those that could even manage to reach that realm. And none could now ever breakthrough to it. Qi condensing and unlocking the meridians, channeling the Qi to the body is all that we can do right now. Your knowledge about Qi is praiseworthy. +200 points" she said

The moment I looked at my card I saw that I gained 200 points.

So there is also this way to get points, neat!

"You may be seated," she said with a smile on her face.

A boy with golden hair raised his hand…

This is Lady Lissandra's brother. Dior Visania.

"If I may speak," he said and the professor nodded for him.

"Indeed, I agree with Mr. Basara, there are three layers of assimilation, yet this a secret safeguarded by the highest authorities, limiting this knowledge is a way for the people to not grow too powerful, though we have lost the technique to breakthrough, by chance some may manage to do it, or find the way. What I am interested in, is how did you, Mr. Basara come to know of such facts?" said the prince.

"Hmm, indeed, I would have asked the boy the same question, and now that it has been brought to the open. Please tell us, that is if you can." Said the professor.

"This is some knowledge I have been given by my Mentor. I will have to decline giving you his identity. I am sorry"

"Fair enough," said the Professor and then resumed the class.

However, the body didn't like the fact i hid things from him and scowled at me.

I shrugged thinking, 'Bite me.' then took a seat.

This class sounds interesting.
