Chapter 13: Unique Knight Technique
"Hmm? He never falls asleep when I'm telling stories, though. Is he really sick?" Athena hurriedly checked his body temperature but found nothing abnormal.
"Don't be too worried. I feel his body is actually improving." Shirley said as she took Raven from Athena's lap and went to the bedroom.
She quickly placed Raven on the soft bed and quietly left the room while closing.
A minute lasted in silence.
Then, all of a sudden, Raven opened his eyes and spoke.
"I want to enter the Library now. Also, please tell me more about the Knight Technique for my sister too. Her birthday is coming soon."
[Yes.] Zera said calmly, instantly pulling his consciousness into the 'Memory Library.'
Like the last time, he experienced the visuals of a person's memories about the 'Instant Memorize' skill and noticed another form of information deep within his mind.
Once he was done, he opened his eyes in the bedroom and stayed in bed while gripping his head to endure the pain. Although the pain made him tear up a lot, he endured without making any sound.
The next day, Raven woke up early, went to school, and attended the class.
"Are you alright, Raven? Your eyes look so red. Did someone scold you?" Robert noticed the tired expression on Raven's face and asked in a concerned tone.
"No. I couldn't sleep properly due to a headache." Raven said while leaning forward on the desk, noticing that the Grammar Class had already ended.
"Finally! It's breaktime!" Robert's face brightened as he saw the teacher leaving the classroom.
At that moment, Raven thought of something, took the monocle from his inventory, and put it on his left eye.
"Hmm? What is it? Monocle? Oh? It looks expensive, like the ones in our shop! Where did you get that?" Robert looked curious at the monocle and tried to take it from him.
"Wait. I want to check something." Raven said with a smug smile and looked at Robert.
A second later, a blue screen appeared before his left eye, showing his physical status.

...
[Not surprising, he indeed has an average mortal's affinity rank, lad.] Zera said.
On the other hand, Raven looked at other students and checked their status individually.
Among the 50+ classmates, he only saw four people with 'Intermediate' rank affinities and above rank.
But what startled him more was that three kids came from the Noble Gang. In his class, there was always a gang that beat all the commoners in tests and even bullied the weak.
Raven and others call them 'A-Class.'
There were a total of seven people who belonged to this gang and always roamed together.
[Even though affinities aren't passed down through bloodline, there is a high chance for Nobles to awaken good affinities.] Zera suddenly muttered.
'Why is that?' Raven asked.
[There is a myth circling the noble's circle that anyone who consumes high-quality magical materials during pregnancy will have a high chance of giving birth to a child with one or two good affinities. Of course, it was just a rumor] Zera said.
'Where did you hear that?' Raven asked, but he received no response from her. With no other choice, he focused on the blonde-haired young girl, around 120 cm tall. She had olive skin and brown eyes and wore a white shirt and blue skirt.
The girl's name was 'Mary Whitbard.' She had a 'High' affinity for 'Fire' and an 'Intermediate' affinity for 'Light.'
'She must be a relative of Baron Alexander.' He thought.
The second one was a silver-haired kid named Dennis Sunfire. He had a 'Genius' rank sword affinity! But Raven didn't get a good impression of him thanks to his cold and arrogant attitude.
'He actually looks down on commoners and rarely mingles with us.'
The third person was another male kid named 'Chris.' He had a 'High' rank shadow affinity. Although Chris was among the gang of Dennis and Silvia, he never showed any arrogant attitude and even talked with everyone like others.
More than that, he was the only commoner among the nobles.
And finally, the last person was a pale-skinned girl named 'Daisy Spade' who had a 'High Rank' Water affinity. Unlike others, she quietly sat with commoners and never talked much with anyone.
[Try your best to be on good terms with those four and form a friendly relationship, lad. They might one day turn into good subordinates for you.] Zera spoke.
'Subordinates? Why? I don't want to.' Raven shook his head and quietly stored the 'Monocle' in his inventory.
"Hmm? Where did that monocle go? Where did you hide it? Give it to me, Raven. I'll return it after I show it to my dad." Robert asked and tried to check his pocket and bag but found nothing.
On the other hand, Raven shrugged his shoulder and shook his head.
"It is a gift from my teacher. I won't give."
"Humph. Let's see how long you are going to act like that." Robert made an angry face and sat next to him quietly.
After a few seconds, he slowly glanced at Raven and smiled.
"Please."
"No means no." Raven didn't even turn around and soon stood up as he saw Teacher Elizabeth entering the classroom.
Robert stood up and greeted her with others in unison with no other choice.
Meanwhile, Raven focused on the class and continued to take notes. The day ended as he returned home and started focusing on the visual experience.
Days passed quietly.
Every day, Raven would wake up in the morning, attend the Elementary School, and focus on classes. During the night, he would do his homework and spend time with his sister and Aunt until 9.30 P.M. After that, he would enter the 'Memory Library' and go through the visual experience to learn the 'Instant Memorize' skill.
One week passed in a blink.
During the past week, Raven continued to go through the painful experience and had already comprehended around 19% of the [Instant Memorize] skill. Thanks to that, his memorizing power had far surpassed any ordinary moral. He could remember everything right now as long as he started reading twice or thrice.
9.45 P.M, August 26th, Ivory Calendar Year 1410.
Raven slowly opened his eyes after confirming his sister had left the room and slowly sat up before speaking.
"Zera, my sister's birthday is only a week away. But you still haven't let me memorize the 'Knight Technique' you mentioned before."
[I didn't forget it. For the past few days, I've gathered information about your sister by watching her training through your eyes. After going through lots of searching, I just picked up the best Knight Technique suitable for your sister.] Just as Zera spoke, a familiar, strange pulling sensation appeared in his mind.
Before he could blink, he found himself standing in the middle of a large hall filled with shelves of books.
[This is the book I was talking about.] Zera's voice came from behind, causing him to turn around slowly.
Soon, he saw a black book filled with complex, strange characters. He also noticed that this book had a total of 100 Pages!
"What language is this? Why does it feel unfamiliar to me?"
[It's called Rune Language. Although this book is written in a Rune Language, I will translate it for you in the local Ivory Language.] Just as Zera spoke, the words on the first page started to twist and form into a familiar one.
[I can only translate this book page-wise, so memorize everything carefully. After you wake up, write everything in the notebook your sister brought you two days ago.]
Upon hearing those words, Raven nodded and started to read the translated line more carefully. Usually, it would take around 3 hours for him to read and memorize a 100-page book thoroughly. But today, it took him more than 5 hours!
"These words are so complex and non understandable for me." Raven said as he finally completed memorizing the last page and soon asked.
"But Zera, after completely memorizing this book, I noticed that this is only a small part. If that is so, wouldn't this technique be weaker than the current Knight Technique my sister is using?"
[Are you comparing your sister's strange daily exercise with this technique? Foolish! She has been practicing an imitation of a broken Knight Technique. That's why it doesn't help the user understand any Knight skill but only exhibits muscle power. Although she and all other so-called knights combine swordsmanship with their muscle power to fight battles and survive against monsters, they still won't even stand a chance against an ordinary Rank-0 Magical Beast. Like your Aunt said a few days ago, only the Radiant Knights and above rank might stand a chance.] Zera paused for a moment and soon spoke.
[But what you see in this book is a by-product of research based on the 'Class-Gem' pathway, Faith Plane's Exclusive Knight Technique, and Awakening Method. After awakening, I looked into the information I gathered about this world through the wisdom link and noticed no class gem pathway here. That's why even the Wizards only rely on Bloodline essences and rune technology to understand the elements to achieve a higher realm. But that's the most expensive path you guys can't even afford. That's why I plan on making her a real Knight like the 'Walkers.' As long as your sister practices diligently, it won't even take less than a year for her to become a Rank-1 [Knight] Class Mystic. Judging by this world's power level, her strength would be more than enough for her to even battle equally against an [Elite Knight]]
"Class-Gem pathway? Faith Plane? Rank-1 Knight Class Mystic? What are those?" Raven was dumbfounded by her words and stared at her with gawking eyes.
[Even if I tell you now, you won't understand a thing. Now, start writing down the memorized content in the new notebook. Also, try your best to change your handwriting style when writing. Otherwise, your sister might suspect you.]
As she ended her speech, Raven felt the familiar suction force and soon found himself returning to his room.
