Capítulo 45: Technology
"So what does it mean?..." Jay asked.
"Hmmm not really sure myself.... maybe his ability to use almost all schools of magic seamlessly. If you can catch him at a good time you could always ask him how it was for him learning spells." Professor Meha answered.
"I'll try!" I answer her feeling a little more hopeful.
"Well... if there anything else I can help you with?..." Professor Meha asked us.
"I think that's all...Thank you professor" Jay thanked her standing up.
"Ummm can you give me tips as a beginner?...." I asked the professor politely.
"Hmmm... I would say... take it slow... everything will come to you, and sooner or later it will be second nature." She smiled.
"Okay! Thank you." I thanked her with a big smile waving goodbye.
Closing the door behind us, "Wow! Do you think you'll be as good as Paul?!" Jay asked frantically full of excitement.
"I really doubt that.... I've never been amazing at anything..." I replied to him.
"Don't be silly! Didn't you hear! This only ever happened to you and Paul!" He replied feeling way more excited than me.
"Let's go... and meet up with the others! I wonder what we could do..... By the way you know their room number right?.." I asked.
"Yeah... Helen told me at dinner." He replied
"Cool let's go!" I said to him leading the way but then slowly slowing down letting him walk ahead of me.
"It's a bit fortuitous that you and Paul are friends as well so you can ask him about the pearl." Jay said making conversation.
"Yeah.... kinda...." I replied.
"So what's life like in your plane?.." Jay asked.
"Ummm..... Normal?... I don't have much else to compare it to." I replied.
"What's it like having the strongest Sorcerers all coming from there?.." He asked.
"Well... we don't actually use magic there....." I replied.
"Ohhhh...." he replied sounding a bit confused and unsure what to ask next.
"We do have Technology... if that counts" I added.
"What's that?.." He asked.
"It's like... the weapons and some other stuff is what we call technology.... so back in my plane we use electricity to power things to do things....." I tried to explain but realizing that it made more sense in my head.
"I see?..." He replied in understanding but sounding confused.
"Ahh well if you ever get the chance to visit you'll see...." I replied.
"So just to make sure... No magic?.." He asked
"Yup...." I replied.
"That must be pretty weird.....how do you grow food.... or kill monsters... or power cities?..." He asked.
"Well.. we rely on the natural weather to grow plants like rain and sun..... There aren't really any monsters where I come from.... and cities.. Are powered with large factories producing electricity through various methods..." I answered him.
"Ohh I see..." He replied struggling to understand.
"How about here?...." I asked curiously.
"Hmmmm so as you may know.... Arcanum is what we use to cast spells and enhance ourselves..... But the energy that powers inanimate objects are powered with Visium power cells....." He answered.
"Visium power cells?..." I asked in return extremely curious.
"So..... Inanimate objects can't utilize or harness Arcanum.... so someone a long time ago managed to develop process where we can harness and store Arcanum in a different form inside a Visium power cell to be used in various things such as Computers." He explained.
"Ohhh that's exactly what Technology is in my plane.... we create electricity and store it and transfer it around the world." I explained.
"Ohh that makes much more sense now." He replied nodding in understanding.
Arriving at the dorm building making our way up the stairs towards Grace and Helen's room.
"Do they share a room?.." I asked.
"Yeah... you can request to have a shared room." Jay replied.
"Ohhh that's pretty cool I wouldn't mind bunking with someone....." I replied.
"Maybe you can ask Daisy... I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Jay added.
"Yeah... maybe..." I agreed thinking, seeing the image in my head of Daisy crying black Ichor and Jay crying about his parents during the attack.
Arriving at a door, Jay knocked on the door waiting for a response. "Come in! Its unlocked Daisy" voice yelled from the other side of the door.
"So when you gonna go see Paul?.." Jay asked opening the door.
"No idea... I guess if I bump into him..." I answered.
"HEYYY!!!" they all yelled welcoming us.
"Wassup!!!!" we both replied.
"Ohhh you guys already changed?.." Jay asked.
"Yeah!" Grace answered.
"Nice room!" I said looking around at their larger room with two large beds, already furnished with making it look less bland.
"Come take a seat!" Daisy said sitting on one of the bed patting the mattress beside her. No longer wearing her thick heavy plates of armour but now wearing a red silk sleeves nightgown.
Taking a seat next to her I instantly noticed that the mattress wasn't made of the same material as the one back in my room. Feeling noticeably softer yet firm.
"Thanks for the clothes by the way." Daisy whispered to me.
"No problem, nice nightgown I wish I had the body shape to make that work." I replied to her.
"You would look great in anything, you're gorgeous." Daisy replied to me wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
"So what's there to do?..." I asked feeling curious what people do in their spare time here.
"Well it depends what you enjoy doing." Grace smiled emerging from a room wearing a black top and shorts and placing a bullseye on the wall. "For example I love practicing my aiming." she said as she began throwing daggers across the room in all different poses almost hitting the centre.
"Yeah... Grace always takes training abit too seriously..." Helen said emerging from another room with wet hair and a similar top and shorts but in white.
"Of course!.... when danger comes, you will wish you practiced more!" Grace replied to Helen.
"She not wrong." Jay said sitting on the floor pulling out a small rustic book and began reading it.
"Ohh what's that you're reading?..." Daisy asked him.
"This was a spell book my first teacher passed down to me." He replied still focused on the book.
"Kinda weird actually... back at the church I would do chores before bed time... haven't really had this much spare time before..." Daisy said lying down on the bed.
"Emilia so what was your life like?.. before coming to Atlantis?.." Helen asked taking a seat next to me.
My gaze quickly shot to Jay for help but he was too focused in his spell book to notice, "Umm well..." I replied as I began panicking and started to think of a cover story. "Well my Dad worked on the port just a local fisherman, sometimes he would take me out to sea to help catch fish and hauling them back to the town to sell." I lied.
"That sounds pretty awesome!... I've never been out at sea before..." Helen replied.
"What about you?.." I asked her in return.
"Elven life is pretty dull.... Once born your family name chooses the path you will take…..and your future in out society." She replied.
"..... That sounds pretty constricting..." I replied.
"Yeah it's extremely dull.... Grace and I was always envious of other Elven societies where they had the freedom to choose their own paths and explore." She added.
"Yup!" Grace added as she carried on throwing her sets of daggers while doing all sorts of acrobatic flips and spins still maintaining her accuracy.
"Ohhh Helen... do you know much about the fighting pits of Eshia?..." I asked her.
"Yeah I've read a little.... It's the biggest of the cities in the Desolate Dunes of Eshia, a vast expanse of blistering hot desert. They believe the harshest of climates breeds the best of warriors." She explained.
"Yup.... and they aren't wrong..... It is a known fact that they have the strongest Students in all the school." Grace added.
"Yup although Atlantis has the two strongest S Ranked Students the number of students they have that are S and A rank equivalent is dangerously high." Helen also added.
"Is that a bad thing?.." I asked.
"Sadly the diplomacy between our four schools isn't peaceful, there's a reason each school, year by year builds up their military might....." Helen explained.
"So we are at war?..." I asked.
"Not really... Arcadia and Atlantis stays out of any conflicts and only defends the lands we control... but the other three schools there's a battle for influence, and even though it hasn't happened yet but if one has a much stronger military I wouldn't be surprised if they start a war." Helen replied.
"And that's not including Dark cults and Dark gods constantly trying to gain a foothold, and trying to rise to power...." Grace added.
'........ This world is alot more volatile then I first imagined....'
