"Vibration." Nux cocked his head to a side. "This is a Vibration Element Beast Soul."Nux stared his Soul Book, where the doodled image of the Resplendent Quetzal was, with a raised brow. The next page, where the spells were meant to be, had only one spell written on it in unique symbols. "Frequency Reading." He read. Nux tried to cast the spell, but he felt nothing. In his previous life, he knew next to nothing about Vibrations, so he didn't know how to approach the situation. He deactivated the spell and activated it again, this time, focusing on a piece of cloth laying on his bed. Still, he got nothing. He tried many ways until he finally figured it out. He activated the spell with his eyes closed. The only difference between the real world and what Nux could see at the moment, was the lack of colors and steady shape of objects. Everything within five meters of him was projected in his mind perfectly. He could see the wavy outline of things in his mind as if they were being s
"Flaming Shield speaks for itself, but what's breath of the Dragon." Nux asked. "Does it let me breath out fire...?"He tried casting the spell, but realised that it was passive, which implied that it was already active and working, though he couldn't feel or sense any changes to his body or see its effect on his surroundings, despite him taking his time to thoroughly check his whole body.This was one of those situations where he couldn't find anything out of place in his body, because it was beyond his ability to sense them. He gave up on trying and casted Flaming Shield, scanned it for a second, before dismissing it and finally leaving his treehouse.He moved with his eyes closed, scanning his vicinity cautiously, and at times suddenly flooding the Frequency Reading spell with Mana and gaining a wider view.He couldn't see the people he thought to be tailing him, however, that didn't make him lower his guard one bit. There wasn't a particular time given to be at the Martial Hall,
A cold aura burst forth from Gregory in violent waves, and his presence seemed to multiply, bearing down on the surroundings and filling everywhere with a bluish cold air.'Icy Aura.' Gregory thought with a wicked smile.Nux faltered slightly die to the cold, but immediately regained his focus soon after his body adapted. Gregory waved his metallic Fans, and two chilling arcs of Ice shot towards Nux. 'Flaming Shield?!' Nux thought swiftly, his mind calculating and going through several simulations at once. 'No.' He dived to the side, avoiding the arcs of Ice, and then barrelled towards Gregory.'Just like Sir Nicole taught me.' Nux thought as his intent blazed. His onyx eyes reflected light, and just at the right angle, they almost seemed to do the opposite. Gregory scoffed when he saw how Nux was charging at him with wild abandon, and swung his fans in a wide curve, conjuring twin blizzard balls and spiralling them towards him. Suddenly, a thick blue shield of solid flames manif
Nux appeared to stagger forward after throwing out a vicious punch, his strength waning. His stamina was great and all, but it wasn't infinite. Moving rapidly for the past thirty minutes seemed to have made him tire out.A normal person would have given up, forfeiting the match before they got too weak to defend themselves from any attack, and risk suffering injuries. But Nux persisted, and that seemed to be coming back to bite him in the ass. He faltered for just a second, but that tiny opening wasn't missed by Gregory, and his clone stepped forward swiftly, and let it's blade-like metallic fans fall like guillotines. Unexpectedly, Nux swiveled on his feets, twisting his body like a ballerina, and blasting a Fireball right at the clone. Even the clone seemed to be taken aback as it crumbled like a brick wall, sending icy rubles flying everywhere. Gregory was suddenly filled with dread. Nux made use of his residual momentum to hurl another fireball right at Gregory, and dashed r
Nux walked out of the dojo breathing a bit too hard. Behind him, was a mound of something releasing thick black smoke, and spasming from time to time. The smell of burnt flesh permeated the air and was irritating, and the students backed away from the dojo, letting Nux pass while also retreating from the smoke. The Nobles were all speechless as they left one after the other, though not without giving the smoking mound an annoyed stare. The fight had taken a lot out of Nux, and he had almost lost had he not acted decisively and swiftly. He, as an all-rounder, was talented in all three major categories of the Awakened. His mental strength was just as good as Mentalists, helping him unlock the ability to split his mind two ways. He could only split his mind for five minutes, which was not much time, and his Mana was also running low. So he used the limited time he had to plot against Gregory, split his mind to control a Draconic Flame Rune, and orchestrated a scene where Gregory wo
The Original Beast Soul, veiled by a curtain of abysmal darkness, stared at its master. Nux couldn't see it's face, but he could feel it's penetrating stare. The Beast Soul stood on the water, but a tide of darkness never stopped pouring out of it's body, forming a base beneath that made it seem as if Nux's Beast Soul and the water, were one. The staring contest continued on for a minute, before Nux heard a word in his mind."Limit."Nux didn't know if all Beast Souls could communicate with their masters like this, so he thought of it as his Beast Soul being unique. "I have reached my limit?" Nux iterated. "Just like I thought."His Beast Soul didn't reply and simply stared at him some more. Nux felt a touch on his body, and jumped out of his Soul Sea just to see Vivian staring at him. "Bind the beast quick. I don't have much time to waste."Nux sighed. 'It seems I have no choice.' He looked at his hand for a second, then suddenly bit down hard on his thumb, drawing blood after
'Nova?' Nux thought. "When did I even name him!" Nux looked down and stared at the academy with a worried look. He couldn't see the whole length of the academy due to how large it was, but he could see a sizable chunk. His treehouse was close by, he could see Mission Hall>X<, Martial Hall , the PE Class's field, which had surprisingly regained it's previous look and no longer had a crater in it, and could see other treehouses, more buildings he didn't know their use, and many students moving about. Nux took deep breaths, then slowly guided... Nova, on his flight path. It wasn't smooth at first, but Nux adapted quickly. Nova too seemed to be cooperative and didn't do things on his own accord. The duo soared through the air at a steady pace, while slowly picking up speed. The wind currents threatened to throw Nux off, but he held on to Nova's fur and didn't let go. His legs were also tightened across his abdomen, giving him a steadier grip. They passed by several oth
Nux walked into the building, looking around curiously. The building was really busy, with students going about looking at all kinds of 'stuffs'. The 'stuffs', turned out to be raw materials used for Inscribing and Enchanting, ranging from Quills and Inkwells, to Hammers and Chisels.Nux had later come to know that special Hammers and Chisels were used to inscribe on large structures.At first Nux was confused about the whole of Inscription, like for example, why did they need Quills and Inkwells to inscribe when they could just stamp the set of World Runes needed?Asking himself this question, that was how he realized that his case was special. Not everyone could stamp World Runes like he did. Though that came with its own con... He couldn't stamp other World Runes, even though he could control them. Still, that was a boon to his strength. Though he might not be able to control other World Runes like others, he could still burn someone or something to ash with his Draconic Flame R
