“As you can see for yourself, the ranks have subdivisions that take plenty of time, practice and dedication to go through. Only the determined ever make it past the five ranks. This is true in the case because most people that have graduated from the academy, which ever one it may be, be it this district or the next, have all fallen within these ranks,” Miss Katherine exposed.
“Huh? What you are saying is that the other five ranks that are for the special cases are really that rare?!!” A student raised their hand to ask.
“Yes, as a matter of fact, those that reach the fourth rank, Azure sorcerers, are considered to be mavericks in their own rights. The crimson Archmage is a very rare one. As you all may know, unfortunate as it may be in our current situation, I do have to mention that even your head teacher is a level 3 Azure sorcerer,” miss Katherine said.
“What the hell?!! That’s like super weak?!” Someone blurted out.
“Idiot, no it’s not. How many people do you see on the streets go past the basic elemental control?!! Huh? How many?! We are talking about someone who can create illusions here and so much more and you say he is weak?!!” An argument erupted in the class.
Kan who was new to the whole topic sat listening and trying to make sense of all that was being said. He sat thinking about a lot of things.
“The information on display now is like a power system much like in video game.. Now if they are saying that the so called Head teacher hasn’t even gotten past the normal five ranks, then that must mean that the power gap between each rank is wide as fuck!!” Kan observed.
[Absolutely! The thing with magic though is that strength alone just wouldn’t cut it. Skill and mastery over ones arts is key in most cases. However, a lot of people have trouble with this] Hela added.
“Mother! …wait, I have seen her heat up the water and cool it as well. Does it mean she falls under the first rank? She’s an indigo initiate? A level one for that matter?!!” Kan thought of the new information presented before him. It began to make perfect sense. Certain things were falling in place then and he began to rethink some of his assertions about his mother.
“Miss Katherine says the ranks usually determine demand and chances of being employed or getting into a good spot. Now I don’t really know the jobs they offer people here but from what I can work with now, given everything I have seen and known, could it be that because of my mother’s rank, she had to go through other means to survive?” Kan slowly began to thread a new path.
“But what about my father?” A new doubt sprung up as he struggled to make sense of the numerous ideas coming into his head.
…
“Okay class, I think we are all caught up. It’s best we get straight away to the ranking room. There would be other classes waiting to have their individual turns as well. If we hurry now, who knows we might get a good spot?!” Miss Katherine said excited as she clapped her hands, hurting everyone to get up. She seemed excited about the whole thing just as much as the students were.
Although after seeing how tough it was, a lot of students had a knot tighten in their stomachs. However, the thrill of knowing where they could potentially fall into in the society and school life was beyond exhilarating!
“Shoot! Hela, what do you think? With my current stats, where would you place me?” Kan asked, even he who could careless about school was becoming worried.
After all the bits and pieces he had gathered, he began to share in similar anxiety as his classmates. They were all mostly around his age or older by a year but what he had learnt was that the world operated on a completely different wavelength. How eighteen years olds were considered kids to such degree bothered him to a great extent.
Yet, it created some relief. At some point, he didn’t have to bother much about the popular question…”what are you doing with your life?!!” Popping up when he hits his twenties because then he would only be considered as “growing up”. At least this was what he believed from common logic alone.
As they walked behind miss Katherine, Kan couldn’t help but notice her tightly hugged ass accentuated by her red leathery skirt, which fit perfectly on her huge backyard. Kan saw how both ass jiggled as she walked like two planets coming to shake hands.
He wondered how everyone else seemed to not mind the beautiful sight before them. Truly, not everyone has eyes for greatness as he did.
“Okay, no pressure okay? I trust you will all do well. You are to listen to every instruction given, is that clear?” Miss Katherine said, her palms placed together as she bent low and talked to them.
At the moment, they stood in front of a door and from the looks of it, they had been beat to it as there were rumblings and sounds of chattering coming from behind it. I
