Chương 6: The Way the World Works (exposition dump)

"Funny thing is if you're talking battles, warriors. Even though there are fewer of them and when compared to anything outside of combat they're completely useless. Their sheer power, whether they admit it or not, makes both Martial Artists and Mages quiver. Well, enough about them. Let's move on to which ways the classes differ, please understand there are different subclasses, but those are so rare you just learn about them as you meet them. First, off Martial Artist use Martial Energy form certain things. Sometimes they make swords, armor, or beams of energy, it differs for each Martial Artist. They do reinforce their bodies, but they constantly have Martial Energy in their body, in a pure form, never do they have it where it's their actual bones or muscles that are strong. Instead, they have Martial Energy hidden in their body parts and subconsciously move it, making them quicker and stronger. Mages, on the other hand, don't use pure World Energy, or as Martial Artists call it Martial Energy, but instead you the chameleon properties of World Energy to form other entities, such as the elements, water, fire, earth, etc. They call this form of World Energy, Mana, this Mana can also work as food for certain beings which allows the Mages to summon creatures to help them fight. Invoking magic can be done in different ways, chanting, writing, hand motions, or sometimes even through thought. Unlike the other two, Mages can't use Mana to strengthen their bodies, but their firepower is by far the strongest. Using the elements, they can open the earth to sallow an army. I once saw with my own eyes a Mage, who was at the same rank in which other classes couldn't do it, wiped out a city with one spell. It was a coastal city, so the Mage used a tidal wave and made a new beach. Well, the point is their strong, but believe it or not, even with that firepower, they wouldn't be able to easily kill a warrior of the same level. Warriors, or as some call them Battle Born, only do one thing, strengthen their body with Ether. They catch up with Mages and Martial Artist by physical strength and pure combat skill. Mages have to be very intelligent, but the mind of a warrior is unbreakable. Martial Artists use unique attack patterns to better help their Martial Energy travel and damage their enemies, but the skill which the warriors have is unparalleled. Yet, as all classes due the drawbacks of the warriors are the biggest. Outside of fighting, they are useless. Their nickname Battle Born comes from the fact that they are only born for battle. While other classes have sub-categories such, Forger, Healer, Array Masters, Pill Masters, warriors don't. Even in the subclasses, it's fighting only; thus most people don't choose to become warriors. Not to mention it is the hardest to train in if being a Martial Artist and Mage can be called trial by fire. Then training as a warrior would be trial by Dante's Inferno!" Right after The Magician finished his statement, Gott Feuersberg spoke up.
