Chapter 66

Dylan spent several days practicing spells with built-in will constructs. He learned a lot, but it was only applicable as a convenient addition to practice, nothing more. At least that was the calculation, creating a simple construct took too much time, which he could not afford during a fight. He also managed to read the remaining books "The World of Ramiast", "Worship of the Light and Other Religions". The first book opened his eyes to the geography of the world. The planet Ramiast was about 14 times larger than the Earth. Which made him wonder why gravity was so weak and close to Earth's. Of course, like any normal person, Dylan decided that all this was due to some magical nonsense. He did not even try to explain it any other way.

From other books he already knew that there were two continents, they were about the same size and were on opposite sides of the planet, in addition to them there were many large islands and that only two were colonized by intelligent races. Then the book told about the races of the continent and gave them a short description. Previously, Dylan thought that there were only four races - humans, elves, gnomes and beastmen. But besides them, there were also giants, fairies and many others. They were just few in number and almost never met. What he found curious was that the monstrous races were not even mentioned in the book, which again spoke of the author's great bias.

"Worship of the Light and Other Religions" told him about the hierarchy of the church, a short set of rules and duties, but everything that came after that was solid propaganda. Reading this book, Dylan wanted to pull out all his hair and more than once hit himself in the face from extreme disappointment. In his new life, he did not deny religion and deities, as he did before, but he still could not bear to read about the new 10 commandments. Remembering how fanatical those priests were, he could not imagine what the proof of the divine and millennia of creating ideal followers led to. He was sure that now most people would not doubt the actions of the church itself, even if it violated the laws of the kingdom or the framework of morality, justifying it with the most absurd arguments.

What was most hateful in the book was the addition "other religions". After all, almost nothing was said about them. Elves worship the World Tree, Dwarves worship the gods of crafts, entertainment and the depths of the earth. Beastmen also worship the Holy Deity Katerina like people. Nothing about other religions... At this point, Dylan closed the book and slammed it into the wall with all his might, and then tried to trample it with mad cries. He spent several minutes like this until he calmed down and decided to practice magic again.

...

Early in the morning, Dylan woke up to go to his first real lesson, as yesterday a message about the beginning of formal training had arrived on the card. Standing in front of the mirror, he once again made sure that he had not forgotten anything, he was dressed in the uniform of the academy, with two swords on his belt, his hair had a slight blue tint in the sunlight. Dylan spent an extra minute admiring himself in the mirror with a particularly good mood.

Walking around the academy he couldn't help but think about what the first lesson would be about, maybe they would reveal some incredibly useful skills, or spells. Maybe teacher Elton would tell more about the very basics of magic. Fantasizing about this, he reached the right room and opened the door. Inside was a large auditorium with panoramic windows, looking around he saw that most of his classmates had already arrived and that Liam and Lynella were probably waiting for him together, they looked great as always.

Noticing him, Lynella smiled contentedly like a cat who had eaten too much sour cream. Liam, however, gave him a small smile. Dylan wanted to say hello to them, but Lynella immediately interrupted him.

"You were in no hurry to contact us? What have you been doing that's so interesting all this time?" She asked quickly, pouting her lips cutely.

"And hello to you too Lynella, Liam is glad to see you." Dylan said and sat down next to her, Liam gave him a small nod. Dylan continued, leaning back in his chair and thinking about what he should answer, deciding that he was not in the mood to lie, he answered honestly. "To be honest I needed a little rest, despite how much more enjoyable it would be with you, I decided to just practice magic and read books."

"And what was in those books that you preferred me to them?!" She asked with a little indignation.

Rolling his eyes and laughing at her behavior, Dylan replied, "Oh, you have no idea, after my 'conversation' with management, I received some very interesting, useful, and traumatic books. I guess I won't say any more."

"If it's that serious, I'm not asking you to, but you should contact me more often." She said and winked at him. Dylan completely ignored the subtext.

"Better tell me how you spent this time, in peace and quiet?"

"Well, I immediately spent a lot of academy points on higher mana potions and a few other things, bought books on illusion magic and finally got my spatial ring. How I envied you." Linella answered, focusing on the small ring on the ring finger of her left hand. Dylan and Liam were a little surprised that she did not have a spatial artifact.

"And how come you didn't have a ring?" Dylan asked with interest.

"Ah, unlike you rich idiots, I am the daughter of a baron in the boondocks. Only my father has such a thing, and even then he values it too much and keeps it only as currency. Do you even have any idea how expensive they are and how they are made?"

"I asked once, but the answer "complex spatial weaves holding space in the crystal with the help of an etheric Mana grid and a portal array inside" didn't tell me anything." Dylan shrugged and Liam repeated after him.

"Oh, and I'll call them "Nobles", but to give you a rough idea... Teleportation or Warp are 6th level spells, Portal is a 7th level spell. These spells are about equal in complexity to the creation of a ring, and I'm not even talking about all the resources and the huge amount of quality mana needed to create it."

"Sounds expensive, so it turns out you need a Great Mage of Space and possibly a Great Rune Mage to create one ring?"

"Exactly so." She said, proud that she was able to personally acquire such a valuable thing.

"Liam, what are you going to tell me?"

"Mmm, practicing magic, meeting your parents." The next second, Liam's smile widened and he continued. "The story of your meeting with your mother and the unpleasant conversation with the Archon."

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"And what was interesting about Dylan's meeting with his mother?" Lynella asked with interest.

"Haha, you're also to blame for this, by the way, to sum it up. Dylan not only didn't contact us, but also ignored Mrs. Limia. For this, she slammed him into the wall and forced him to tell everything that happened in the camp, he blabbed about you, then she beat him up again. Listening to this, I almost died laughing."

Linella became slightly worried after his answer and looked questioningly at Dylan.

"Yeah, I spilled the beans. I had no choice, but rest assured it's more of a plus than a minus for you." Dylan said, to which Linella's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Okay, but next time contact us and your mother so that such a situation does not happen again."

"Sure." Dylan agreed easily, but he hadn't really thought about doing so.

By the end of the conversation, the last student entered the classroom, followed by the teacher Elton, and Heather. Everyone went silent as Elton walked down to his desk, looking around at everyone with great interest. As he approached, he silently looked at the students for a few seconds until he smiled widely and clapped his hands so hard that a sonic boom occurred.

Dylan didn't expect such strange actions from the teacher, like most of the class, but now everyone was decent and no one even dared to ask why he did it. As well as him, so he just lazily pinched his nose with his hand and blew into it to easily get rid of the slight noise in his ears. Swallowing, Dylan was pleased that the noise was gone and focused on the teacher Elton, not paying attention to the others.

After clapping his hands loudly, Elton folded his hands behind his back and began his speech.

"I will not tire of reminding you how weak you are, so try to get used to it, perhaps some of you will reach the level that will make me regret it, but this is a matter for the future. Today, I have gathered you to direct your physical and magical classes to the further path of development. It is clear that you should practice techniques, spells, develop your skills, but this is only the beginning. Although let's not forget that owning a rare class for most ordinary people is just a dream, especially at the first level, but today we are not talking about that."

"Further development of rare classes consists not only of leveling up, but also of more complex things. Although nothing prevents you from only developing a level and subsequently being crushed like an ordinary bug on the road. Usually a person of a rare class with sufficient constitution undergoes body reforging. In simple terms, several Arcane Healers rebuild the body, thereby making a person stronger in all respects. The more advanced the healers, the more "free" statistics you get and possibly several other privileges. But for you, everything will be different. You will be spared the harsh consequences of this procedure, which even affects the soul and a very long recovery time and adaptation to a new body. You will be provided with rare alchemical mixtures that will increase your characteristics and improve other criteria of your body without such serious consequences."

"Thank you that no one interrupted me on this. In advance, answering your questions. Yes, the mastery of the flesh is prohibited in all countries, so it is very strictly controlled. Believe me, it is really strict control, as well as over the mages of the soul and mind. Answering the second question, you have not used strong alchemical means before because your young body, with a relatively small physique, could not withstand the side effects."

"Going further I must note that this is only the first step. Next you will learn how to fight in real team battles, and not in that spectacle that you staged in the forest. You will also be taught tactics, strategy, reconnaissance and other necessary knowledge. Rest assured that you will leave the academy as a completely different person."

"You will also be given higher level techniques and spells. For warriors, it is necessary to have a technique of healing, strengthening, acceleration, and rapid regeneration of stamina. Perhaps for the first time, you will learn to use vitality and stamina in one technique. As for magicians..." Elton slowed down in his speech to think about something.

"Mages will need to choose another specialization in their class, besides the usual form magic. It could be Karmic Magic, Ritual Magic, Rune Magic, Enchantment, Transmutation, Alchemy, perhaps blacksmithing?"

"All this is necessary to expand the capabilities of elemental mages and add more potential due to the equipment made by hand. Or do you think that it is enough to simply create a flame that is stronger than the previous one with each new spell and you will always win? This is far from true. For the same flame mages, there are incredibly many opportunities to increase their strength by preparing for battle. Among the most simple is to buy a lot of flame mana crystals and engrave explosion runes on them, or runes that will release a spell due to the crystal mana. Prepare a spell ritual that is much stronger than your usual, a million possibilities."

"The same goes for other mages, even if you aspected your core, nothing will stop you from creating runes or enchantments, although there are many nuances to this, which we will talk about later. And even if you aspected your core and are not sure about all this, Word Magic is incredibly strong in this regard, since with great skill you can significantly increase the power of a spell without spending additional mana on it."

"If everything is clear about the other schools of magic, you are probably wondering why study something as obscure as Karmic Magic. In short, it is important to understand whether you have potential in this school. This does not happen often, but if someone is lucky, they will get a new opportunity."

"I'll tell you more, perhaps the most famous examples of this magic are Oaths and Witches. An oath gives the opportunity to impose restrictions on oneself and receive a noticeable increase in the power of magic for this. The most famous example is the Supreme Paladin Yuriel. He swore to protect the weak, to be fair, not to turn a blind eye to evil and to punish the wicked, if I'm not mistaken he only has these four oaths and each of them strengthens all his spells and skills."

"I won't insult Yuriel, but if the user of the oath breaks it, catastrophic consequences await him. Most often, this is a wound to the soul and death. If the user did not intentionally break the oath, he may be able to recover later and use it again, but this happens extremely rarely."

"The second well-known example is coven witches. They bind each other's spirits with a branch of karmic magic, thereby giving the witch the opportunity to use much more powerful spells in need, due to the greater power of the aura and stronger control over the surrounding mana. Also in this case, the witch's karmic magic becomes much stronger. Of course, such magic has to be paid for, in case the limit is exceeded. This can range from a temporary decrease in characteristics to a torn soul."

"In addition, witches use karmic magic as a protective and attacking one at the same time. To be precise, these are some rules of etiquette. If you come to a witch and are the first to show aggression, her magic becomes stronger because you have violated the rules of etiquette, but at the same time the witch cannot openly attack you because if she violates her hospitality, she will lose the additional power of magic. And I emphasize "openly" again, nothing prevents her from adding poison to you until you understand this, she is not formally violating any rules. And the point here is somewhat in order to show aggression and violate etiquette, this can be any little thing, up to the fact that you did not say hello first, or switched to a formal tone, with each such "violation" the power of the witch's magic will increase.

"These are just two examples and I advise you to delve deeper into this topic, because karmic magic is primarily the magic of connections. And the connection can be very insignificant to become fatal for you, because even names have power." Said teacher Elton, turning his gaze to Dylan and smiling mysteriously.

Damn, don't tell me that knowing and pronouncing the guardians' names has such a deplorable meaning for me. Oh, I imagined it, every time someone pronounces my name, my attention involuntarily turns to it.

Congratulations, you have increased the skill level of [Reincarnator's Madness] [Special][Unique] Lvl 404 > 405

Bitch!!!
