The next day, Arran was once again at the combat arena and he had just finished the morning exercise. One thing that was worth noting was that he currently did not finish in such a horrible manner as he did yesterday. This could be attributed to all that energy that he absorbed yesterday that slightly raised his fitness level to a new height today.
After the exercise, Arran was also singled out like yesterday as he would this time be instructed on how to further increase his fitness level and upgrade his mortal body to that of a Demi.
As Arran stepped out, different pairs of eyes were looking at him. Behind those eyes was the light of curiosity. The cadets were wondering if there would be another commotion just like yesterday.
Fortunately or not, there wasn't.
Standing before instructor Fel, Arran waited as she said, "Cadet Galen, yesterday because of certain events which you are aware of, we could not go on with the training that was designed for you, an
An electromagnetic special ability.This was an incredibly special ability for an Aeth to have for just one particular reason.That was because on the Aeth mother planet or on any of the surrounding satellites that orbited the planet was filled purely with active electromagnetic elements. It was by far the most active and abundant of all elements found on the Etherium or the Ether for that matter.This could be seen from the rolling thick purple storm clouds that were filled with charged lightning that filled the skies of the planet and barred entry to the Etherium and the geographic terrain that was primarily floating mountainous ranges that hovered over the seas of the Etherium.Let there be no misconceptions, just because the electromagnetic elements are highly active did not mean that it was very easy to acquire an electromagnetic special ability. No, the reverse was definitely the case.In fact, an electromagnetic special ability was one of th
The combat weapons training class was overseen by a man that went by the name Dan Schneider.On Arran's first contact with instructor Dan, he was left with only one impression.Fierce!Instructor Dan was very fierce indeed.Instructor Dan was a battle-hardened veteran with crisscrossing scars on his face that did nothing to subtract from his handsomeness.He always seemed to have a scowl on his face and was the type of person who felt that it was a waste of his time to be away from the battlefield just to train a bunch of babies who were still wet behind the ear so that they could effectively wield a weapon when he could have made better use of his time and strength winning more battles for the Aeth.In his own words, he said, "One day I spend teaching a bunch whining children is another day that the Aeth may lose ground in the frontlines of battle!"Rumors said that instructor Dan used to serve in the frontlines of the aeth explorato
Instructors Dan's suffocating aura had no effect on Arran at all.This discovery was quite shocking, to say the least.The thing about a person's aura that should be noted is that one's aura is basically just another person's perception of you.In other words, your aura in the eyes of another person is how they see you as an individual. If to a person you are someone that was big, imposing, and intimidating, then when that person looks at you your aura as perceived by that person would naturally be big, imposing, and intimidating.Usually, no one has any control over the emission of their aura, but for some special people who have special experiences or occupy certain positions, like the head of organizations or persons of authority, for example, these types of people under certain circumstances could just barely control the emission of their aura.Such is usually the case for normal people but for warriors of the Aeth of the same caliber as instru
Arran was currently standing before the field of weapons.In front of him was a little distance the length of one foot that separated Arran from all the weapons that are planted there. This meant that after one step, Arran would officially have stepped into the field but that one step seemed to be too heavy to take.As Arran stood before the field of weapons, he closely observed the weapons that were planted here. Every single weapon he set his eyes on had one obvious characteristic, they were battle-worn.No matter if it were the swords, axes, or spears, they all had tell-tale signs of what they had experienced and the battles they had been through. While the weapons were kept in really good shape, and there was still a lot of use left in them, basing solely on the purpose of their creation, then it was without any doubt that these weapons had been retired from active duty.Why then was the last step too heavy for Arran to take?Well, that was bec
There was silence in the arena.Arran's eyes were clear and reflected in them was an unshakable conviction and resolve towards his own beliefs. The look in his eyes showed a stubbornness that said, 'come hail or high water, my will shall not be broken!'Instructor Dan could understand this resolve and it resonated with him.All of a sudden, instructor Dan laughed out loud in a boisterously loud voice as he slapped Arran on his back with a light amount of force, making him stumble which immediately resolved whatever atmosphere that Arran was building up with his aura.While laughing, Instructor Dan said to Arran who was trying to keep his footing."Hahaha, kid, I like you. It seems it is not only your battle intent that is impressive but your will is also sturdy. A rare gem indeed and I'm going to enjoy every moment I spend polishing you into a fine warrior."Arran who heard instructor Dan's words felt a breeze pass through his legs and a gaz
The first exchange between Arran and the training dummy ended with Arran's loss but Arran did not think that it was an entire loss. As a probing attack, Arran felt that he had succeeded. at least now he could roughly gauge the standard of this dummy.According to how Arran felt, he thought the dummy was most likely at the level of a veteran swordsman with twenty years of experience who had been using the sword since they were old enough to wield one.That was where Arran judged the dummy to be in terms of its skills with the sword alone, that did not mean that its strength was only at that level.This dummy was built with beginner Demi's in mind so naturally, its fitness level would be around that level, coupled with the fact that it was a man-made creation, Arran suspected that it had been programmed with intricate code of commands and intrinsic reactions.In order to prove his suspicions, Arran continued probing the dummy.After a few probes whic
It was a new day in the kingsman royal academy for young warriors.Arran had been here for seven days since the first time he had set foot here and gradually he had been able to adjust to the way things were done around here.During these seven days, the most significant adjustment Arran had made was in regards to the time difference between this planet and those of the Earth.In this satellite that revolved around the main planet, the Etherium, all the natural environments, and the cycle of the seasons were very identical that this small satellite could be said to be a perfect carbon copy of the main planet. More incredibly was that among the many satellites that revolved around the main planet, quite a few of them share the same characteristics.Here as compared to Earth, there were three main satellites that revolved around the mother planet and these three moons were also responsible for the change in season.Back on earth, humans from the age
"So I'm telling you, if you ever want to increase your status with the Aeth, the fastest way is to get married to someone from a very powerful family. Believe me, we Aeth are all about family relationships and marriage." Charmy was informing Arran.As Charmy and Eris were escorting Arran to the venue for his invitation, they were discussing the social distinctions between members of the Aeth race.Among the Aeth, there were usually different class structures that differentiated a person's status from another. While it did not get to the extent where people were discriminated against simply because of their status it could not be said that such discrimination was not entirely nonexistent.As they talked the topic gradually moved from the different class systems to how an Aeth could increase their social status.At least in this part of the universe, it was relatively easier to improve one's social status. Apart from the usual options like gaining vast weal
