Bab 7: Chapter 7: First Day IV
As the class buzzed with a mixture of excitement and unease following Claire Ainsley's unexpected visit, Professor Kael took the opportunity to delve deeper into the fundamentals of Astarcus's curriculum. He was a seasoned educator, adept at breaking down complex systems into manageable pieces of information.
"Now that we've covered the basics of your abilities and talents," Professor Kael began, his voice resonating with authority, "it's crucial that you understand the full scope of what you'll be learning here at Astarcus. This includes not only the cultivation system but also the levels of martial prowess and the inherent dangers you'll face."
The room quieted, students straightening in their seats as they prepared for what was clearly going to be an important lesson. Arthur, though already familiar with many aspects of Terra's power system, listened attentively. The professor's explanations would provide a deeper understanding and possibly new insights into the world he had recently entered.
"First, let's review the power system," Kael said, his tone becoming more formal. "As you already know, mana is the fundamental energy source used in cultivation. It flows through everything, and your ability to harness and manipulate it is what determines your strength. The nine stages of cultivation are divided into four levels: Low, Medium, High, and Peak. Each stage represents a significant leap in power, and mastery over mana increases accordingly."
He paused, letting the information sink in. "At the Peak of each stage, you have the ability to exert control over vast areas, but this is still limited to the physical realm. True transcendence involves reaching beyond these limitations, but that is not covered in this course."
Arthur, who had previously reviewed the basics in his library, nodded slightly. This reaffirmation was useful, but he was eager to hear more about the practical aspects of their training.
Professor Kael continued, "Beyond individual cultivation, martial prowess plays a crucial role. There are different levels of martial arts, from Beginner to Grandmaster. These levels determine not only your combat effectiveness but also how well you can integrate your mana into physical techniques. Mastery of martial arts is essential for practical application of your powers."
He turned to a large screen at the front of the room, which displayed a series of diagrams and charts. "Each stage of martial prowess also has four levels, mirroring the cultivation stages: Low, Medium, High, and Peak. Training in martial arts will enhance your physical abilities, allowing you to channel mana more efficiently and effectively."
The students absorbed the information with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Arthur found the details about martial arts particularly interesting. It was clear that physical combat and mana manipulation were closely linked, and mastering both would be key to advancing in this world.
"Now, let's talk about one of the more dangerous aspects of your education here," Professor Kael said, his tone growing more serious. "The world of Terra is not just about cultivation and martial prowess. It is also rife with dangers, many of which stem from the dungeons that appear throughout the world."
Arthur's interest was piqued. He had encountered references to dungeons in the library, but he had not fully grasped their significance until now. Professor Kael's next words would shed more light on this aspect.
"Dungeons are mysterious, often perilous areas that appear without warning. They can be found all over Terra and are known for housing dangerous creatures, valuable treasures, and ancient secrets. The difficulty of a dungeon is generally classified by its tier, which can range from Low to High. Each tier represents increasing levels of danger and complexity."
Professor Kael continued, "As students of Astarcus, you will be required to engage with dungeons as part of your training. It's not just about testing your strength; it's about understanding how to survive and thrive in unpredictable environments. The ability to navigate dungeons and deal with their challenges is essential for your development."
Arthur listened closely, his thoughts racing. Dungeons were a new and intriguing aspect of this world. They represented a different kind of challenge, one that would test not just his mana control and martial skills but also his adaptability and strategic thinking.
"The dangers within dungeons are real," Kael warned. "Many students have lost their lives or sustained serious injuries while exploring them. It is imperative that you are prepared and equipped with both knowledge and skill before attempting to enter any dungeon."
He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle over the room. "You'll receive more detailed training on dungeon exploration in the coming weeks. For now, I need each of you to understand the gravity of what lies ahead and to begin preparing yourselves accordingly."
Arthur thought back to his extensive reading in the library, where he had come across some references to dungeons and their significance. The practical application of this knowledge was becoming clearer now. He knew that preparing for dungeons would be an essential part of his journey at Astarcus.
"Before we conclude today's session," Professor Kael said, "I want to emphasize the importance of teamwork and strategy. While individual strength is crucial, success in dungeons often depends on how well you can work with others. You will be expected to collaborate with your classmates, share knowledge, and support each other."
The professor's final words echoed in the classroom as he dismissed the students for the day. Arthur sat quietly, his mind racing with thoughts about the upcoming challenges. The information provided was invaluable, but it also raised many questions. How would he apply this knowledge in practice? What were the real dangers of dungeons, and how would he prepare for them?
As the students gathered their belongings and prepared to leave, Arthur's gaze drifted to the three girls—Elara, Seraphine, and Liora. Their talents and abilities had been impressive, but now, with the new information about dungeons and the challenges they posed, Arthur wondered how their paths would intersect.
The classroom buzzed with the excitement and apprehension of the students, each processing the day's lessons in their own way. Arthur knew that the real adventure was just beginning, and the journey ahead promised to be filled with both opportunities and perils.
