"Quick Question!" Nex said as her hands shot up. "What are the different types of mages? you said so yourself you were an achlemist." She asked while her eyes shone brightly. Wierding both Nick and Setsuna. "Uhh... I appreciate your enthusiasm. Although It's kinda odd. No... wait... let me be franks, Nex what the fuck that's super fucking wierd that you're actually paying attention. I thought you'd be asleep by now."Nex rolled her eyes towards his statement, "It's a rare boost of motiation Nick, fucking sue me." She said as she stared at her well trimmed nails. However He shook his head, "I literally made you two drink super energy bossters splashed with a small portion of hangover cure. I say it has worked better than I expected.""You spiked our drinks!? That's it I'm talking to HR!" Nex said as she crossed arms and looked aside. Setsuna on the other hand coudn't sit down properly as she rocked back and forth, "What about training? I can't sit still! When's the fucking practicals!"
"Well, follow me. We got a lot of work to cram in a single week. I hope you two are prepared." He said as he gestured towards the outside of the room. The two followed suit, and after walking for a while they soon found themselves outside. What greeted them was a wide coliseum, empty yet filled with some kind of sand.Nick walked towards the middle, "What do you two know about grimoires?" He said as she looked back towards the two. Nex scratched her head, "It's unique magic bound to the soul?" She said rather unsurely. Setsuna on the other hand stared at her blade, "It holds the mage's most prized magic formulas?"Nick nodded his head, "Well technically that's true. However it wasn't always like that. A long time ago Grimoires were just enchanted books where a mage would store his life's work. Many and all sorts of magic formulas were contained within that only they can decipher. However as time advanced, and many mages sought after different things. They started stealing each others
After discussing the differences in grimoires Nick took distance away from the two. "Now to practicals. Mages have different kinds of Grimoires. Figuring that out is key to defeating them. Now I would like you two to figure out what kind of Grimoire's mine." He said as he brought out a book and made it hover mid-air. He then took out a small vial filled with golden dust. He scaterred the dust on the grimoire, then it shone as it was incased in a golden sphere filled wit hblue runes. "Obviously I'm not going to make it that easy." He said as he slammed his palms together and a magic circle appeared from the ground, enveloping the area around him. The arena floor rumbled as bits of sand gathered on the golden orb as it hardened and formed an almost humanoid shaped golem. Setsuna raised her eyebrows, "I'm pretty sure the extent of Magitech's knowledge isn't that profound." Nex nodded her head as she scratched her chin, "As much as I'd like to stay wary from those fucks. They're not tha
Nick cracked his knuckles, "Alright that was a nice attack. That caught me off guard." He cracked his neck and body as his fists were covered in flames. He started hopping up and down and started changing his relaxed posture. He raised both his fists his entire torso started bobbign up and down. He then kicked off the ground as He charged towards Nex and applied constant pressure by barraging her with burning jabs. She was evading all of his strikes however each time he strike it felt like it was getting faster and faster. Setsuna tried to come and help. She turned into lightning and struck down, however Nick was once again replaced by the golem. Setsuna clicked her tongue as she glared at Nick. She looked towards Nex, "I handle Nick, you handle the grimoire." Nex nodded her head as she wielded her hammer and aimed it towards the golem. However the Hammer didn't budge. No skulls lit up. It weighed just like a normal hammer. HEavy and cumbersome. She then dropped it as she covered her
Nex and setsuna looked around after being kicked out of the arena and saw nothing but the bustling streets of Cor Aureum. "Fucking Bastard..." Nex clicked her tongue as she started walking towards the nearest restaurant along with Setsuna. They sat down and ordered some food. While they were waiting they checked out the book that was handed to them. It was a book in all red, pristine and not worn down unlike the book Nick showed earlier. > Setsuna started flipping through the pages seeing if she could understand a word. Surprisingly it was translated into galaxia. Nex on the other hand rubbed her chin and summoned Nova. He popped out of her shadow and stared at the book in her hands. She dangled the book in front of Nova, "So can you use this?" Nove narrowed his eyes trying to scrutinize the object. [Hmmm... Maybe. The mana traces are faint but it's enough to give you a small boost in strength. Besides that's not the main point. Although faint, it's still a co
Blair woke up Nex at an ungodly hour, "Blair, what did I tell you about being punctual." Blair tilted her head and said with a monotonous voice. "I shoudn't be. But I didn't listen. Just like you." Nex groaned as she massaged her face. She stared at the nearby bed where setsuna should be only to find it empty. The door swung open and Setsuna entered whilst wearing somthing unlike her usual punk styled clothes. It was a greed uniforn that wierdlt fits. It's neat and tidy and it made her look sharp. "What the fuck are you wearing Setsu?" She said as she sat up on the bed earning her a shrug. "Adventurers Guild Uniform. They sent it earlier. I think this uniform is more of a formality for the assessment later." She said as she sat on Nex's bed. "So Freshen up. We have an early day today." Nex sighed and stood up reluctantly as Blair prepared her clothes, "I mean seriously, you gotta stop Blair from catering to your every whim." Blair however tilted her head, "What do you mean Miss Sets
Setsuna found herself in an unfamiliar place. She looked around and saw nothing but a seemingly never ending forest. The trees looked crooked, and littered with both scratch and bite marks. She looked up and saw nothing but a ceiling of rocks littered with glowing minerals that light up the entire area. She clicked her tongue as she narrowed her eyes. She looked through the purple leaves and saw glaring red eyes peeking through. She cracked her neck and her shoulders while grinning. "Perfect I can loosen up with this kind of bastards."She dashed through aiming right at the heart of the forest. Thick webs made of silver barred most of her path. She narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue, "Fuck, goddamn spiders? Seriously?" What crawled out of the trees were half spiders and half humanoid. It had the face of a spider and lengthy arms with razor sharp claws.Setsuna had goosebumps as she stared at the monster crawling out of the thicket. The Arachnosapiens roared as they jumped toward
Nex snapped her fingers to remove the green blood from her chains. She stared at the corpses of the Arachnosapiens that rushed towards her. The Ice knights she conjured were mangled into peices, yet she alone stood tall unblemished from all the infighting that just occurred. She looked around and saw nothing but the craggy interior of the cavern illuminated by blue minerals that pop out of the cave's interior.Then a rage filled screech that shook the entire cave echoed. Nex frowned as she looked towards the only pathway leading towards the innermost part of the cavern. She looked towards Nova who was hovering around the knights. [That doesn't sound good. I think you just woke the queen.]Nex cracked her knuckles, "Ain't that a good thing? The sooner we kill her the faster we get out of here." Nova shrugged his shoulders, [I'm not gonna stop you. Suit yourself. These creatures are filled with exquisite mana.]Nex repeatedy balled her fists as she was filled with vigor. She channeled h
