When Asd woke up, his stat page was the first thing that he noticed, almost as if Gaia was just waiting for him to wake up just so that she could show him everything that he has achieved. He was now a first circle mage, and could no longer be called a novice in magic, he had taken the first real step on the road to the very peak of magic. He felt stronger, physically it seemed to him as if he was in his best possible shape, the sounds were clearer, the scents sharper and his sights clearer. He was so in tune with his perception he could feel the wind on his skin, and used that to gain awareness of where he currently was.

He opened his eyes, he was in an infirmary, probably one that belongs to the academy. So far he has not had the chance to visit this place, but then again he never did have a reason to do so. He opened his eyes to notice that professor Hogrin, professor Germaine and Professor Mona were present, along with a despondent looking Rhea with reddened eyes. For a moment Asd envisioned the headache that was coming his way, and then he felt guilty for worrying Rhea, but in the end there were some things that couldn't be helped.

"You have become a first circle mage Asd, for lack of better context it means you are now an official mage of the western Albion empire. Normally congratulations would be in order and the promotion from your current novice class to the 1st circle mage class, but all those will have to wait as it has come to mine and the dean's notice that you created a seven phase method not sanctioned by us. We gave you a few spell books to choose from each of the seven elements, including one of runes to help make you into a formidable rainbow mage, a Triskele mage unlike any other. Instead you ruined your own future by being rebellious.

And for what! Do you think that this affects the academy in any way, all we wanted to do was help you? Now all of the carefully crafted plans for your future has been completely ruined. You've made waste of a perfectly good opportunity, now you will remain common with the rest of the mages in existence. What do you have to say for yourself!" Hogrin yelled as saliva flew every which way in his rage. Asd chuckled, much to his teacher's chagrin as he replied.

"In the face of destiny, yours and the schemes of the Dean means nothing. I regret nothing, and while I have no power to go against you and your treatment of me, I have enough power to dictate my own future because I AM FREE! I am no slave and refuse to be treated like one…. not anymore. So I'm happy with what I have now, my strength is my own, not yours, not the academy, not the dean's, Mine! My freedom affords me at least that." Asd said to him as he swung his legs over the bed he was on and placed his feet on the ground.

"Perhaps you're being a little too harsh on the boy Hogrin, after all I don't think this is a total loss. It might have not been your way, but his way would probably lead us to a path of magic we have never seen before. And while he claims his strength is now ours, he is right, but he will give his strength for the empire, and for the emperor, or he will die, and everything will be over. But I want to know…. What sort of wind spell is [ROAR] and what sort of 7 phase meditation method is [Cradle of The Dragon] I don't know how you have been altering your stats and keeping information from us, but it seems your defenses fell during your advancement to 1st circle? So we know everything you know now."

[I'm sorry Master! I was knocked out just as you were, and seeing as I'm now your mana interface just as much as your summon, the onslaught of magic forced a restart of my systems. It took a while to get our illusions up, so they were able to see, especially since your advancement destroyed three floors of your dorms 7 floors, the attic included. They wanted to know why your advancement was so powerful.]

"Do you think keeping silent will help you, there are ways we can extract information from you, boy! And believe me none of them are pleasant." Professor Germaine said as his elven visage seemed to take on a sinister expression.

"You fools should shut up and stop antagonizing the young man. You can't force him to reveal anything and you know it. He is no criminal, just a child trying to figure his life out and you fools are so blinded by your prejudice that you can't even help him! Also did it occur to you fools that he might just give you an answer if you asked him nicely! He no longer has anything to hid so why are you all acting like fucking idiots!" Professor Mona yelled out in annoyance as the entire room seemed to shake and shudder, the bed Asd was on rattled, its metallic frame creaking in annoyance as Professor Mona's eyes glowed silver. And then just as quickly as it started it stopped, and wisely, Germaine and Hogrin had their lips tightly sealed.

Asd couldn't help it, he was impressed. And for a Werelion; to be impressed was to be aroused. Bestial and animal like in his instincts, but Asd had control. He was his lion and his Lion was him, both of them were one, there was no other and so their vices could be curbed, and instincts mastered and controlled…. Weird…. they were one?

"I do not care what these idiots have to say or ask my dear boy. In the grand scheme of things, especially where your life is concerned their opinions don't mean shit. You only have business with the emperor, so he should be your worry. However, I do need you to clarify some things Young Asd. The rune you used to complete your seven phase method…. I've never seen or heard of it. Not in the draconic, elfish, dwarfish, and Fae library of runes. It looked like you just drew a dragon and placed it there, which in and out of itself is extremely peculiar. I don't mean to pry, but please would you tell me about it." Asd was naïve…. But he liked to think he was growing out of it.

He absolutely did not trust professor Mona, he used to be a slave, he has seen this good cop, bad cop routine a hundred times over from Rhea's Father, brother, Mother, Aunt and younger sister a dozen times over. Sometimes he feels Rhea has used it on him too, but he was backed into a corner. Rather than fight a battled he knew he might end up losing, it would be better to just have a modicum of control over the battlefield and drag the war out as long as he could till he wins it.

"I did not just draw a dragon professor Mona; the rune is the dragon… or better yet I should say all of the runes. Put them together and they form the dragon." The room was silent, so silent that he could actually hear a pin drop. It was Rhea who spoke up.

"That's impossible, that's- "Professor Mona Interrupted her as she asked.

"You figured out the sequence to the Draconic runes." She said, and more as a fact than a question. Asd nodded his head in agreement and Germaine, the ever silent and cool Professor Germaine seemed to explode.

"That's not possible! Thousands of years has seen many mages, high mages and arch mages trying to figure this out, not even demi-gods could get the answer correct and you want to tell me that you figured it all out? Just after three months of coming into contact with magic? What the hell!"

"Tell me young Asd, is it an alphabet as many have speculated, that was how you figured out the sequence right?" Professor Mona asked.

"It's an alphabet alright, but not in the sense that you think. I believe its more like a dictionary; a dictionary of reality. But to complete the sequence you cannot see or follow it like an alphabet. Because that's not what it is…. It's a puzzle. And every rune has its place, and when they've all found it…. You give birth to quite frankly the only rune all 777 runes don't actually have…. the rune for dragon. That's the secret to the sequence, it's a puzzle. However, to complete it…. I think you have to have a deep understanding of rune, not an attribute, but an understanding. And a connection to all of them rather than one." Asd said as he took a deep breath and faced the professors, shifting his gaze subtly to Rhea to monitor the look on her face.

"Rhea take Asd to go get his classes registered. Then make sure you stay by his side at all times, I will send some of my guards to keep watch over you two. If there are any preparations to be made then do so, by nightfall I'll be taken him to the capital to meet with the emperor. No word of what you just heard must live this room…. Or I'll kill all three of you. Now if you will excuse me I have to telephone the emperor of our illustrious empire…. Asd has just made the ultimate discovery of runic magic and it will change the course of history and magic FOREVER."
