What was the most important thing to a person in the universe?
His individual strength!
Only with powerful strength would an individual be assured to be able to carve a portion of the territories of the universe for themself.
Then what was the most important thing for a race's civilization?
The collective strength of all citizens of that civilization.
It was only with this will there be new blood to inject into a civilization's conquest of the universe.
Right now as an individual, Arran's talent would ensure that given enough time he would possess the necessary strength needed to make a place for himself in the universe and as an Aeth... more so a noble kingsman... when Arran became powerful in the future his strength would also become the strength of the Aeth.
With the new realization the way everybody looked at Arran changed.
Before for the virtue of his kingsman bloodline, the Aeth was already willing to nurture him heavily,
The reality gate!It sure sounded majestic enough, Arran thought."Doesn't it sound so majestic?"Raising an eyebrow, the vice dean asked Arran with a smile on his lips.The tips of Arran's ears turned red as he was caught with his thoughts. Looking at the smile on the face of the vice dean, Arran was convinced that the old man somehow had a way of reading his thoughts.Finished with teasing Arran the vice dean continued with his explanation."When I say that the reality gate is unique to the Aeth when it comes to understanding the laws that make up the universe what I mean is that for the Aeth when we get to that threshold required to advance in our abilities, the reality gate will manifest itself in our sea of consciousness and it is by opening the gate that we are able to increase our abilities.""It could be said that the reality gate is the only way for us to do so since it is an inborn existence that no other race has access to.
A few minutes after the incident with Arran had seen a close, commander Margo could be seen coming out of an office the was located in the sky.All around the office all that could be seen were purple clouds that flashed with traces of lightning like a storm was brewing in them but amazingly the office was without any barriers to prevent the clouds from flowing through it.The office was an open-air office that was completely open to the elements and all that furnished this office was a transparent platform where there were only a desk and chair resting on it with a few odds and ends on the desk and behind the desk sat the figure of the old vice dean.Watching as commander Margo made her outside and over the horizon, the vice dean sat for a while in contemplation as he thought about the events of the day.These events seemed to remind him of things that had happened in the past.As the vice dean thought, his mind wandered to 400 years ago.A
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
