63 The Boring Class
Zeras looked around the gigantic hall as he noticed the majority of the students looking sleepy from the topic being discussed.
The female instructor talked about Mana and its origin but the majority of the students found that boring due to it being pretty common knowledge but the same couldn't be said for Zeras.
There was nothing like Mana being taught in the orphanage, so unlike the rest who didn't pay much attention to the topic, he paid all attention to it.
"Mana brings about evolution, it brings about change, a change so wide the destiny of our world was entirely re-written..." The instructor said her voice lit in seriousness.
"The change due to Mana spanned massively from the birth of new energy to the birth of genes in humans. From the mutation of different animals to the birth of new hybrids, from the birth of new ores in the earth's crust to the creation of powerful advanced technologies..."
"The very first ways of Mana cultivation was discovered by a powerful A-grade Gene awakener who goes by the name Sir Alexander Titanic...
The greatest hero of humanity and the founder of the EIA itself..." The woman said as Zera's interest was piqued. The founder of the Cultivation Ways was also the creator of the EIA. However, according to the book given to him by Commander Shiron, it says the EIA was a conjugation of the Major world forces like the Nine families to battle the Alien races under one banner.
"The ways of cultivation created by Sir Alexander Titanic are four that need to be known at your stages. The first is the Star rank stage.
The lowest stage of cultivation and the first process toward the path of Mana.
With the presence of the Mana discovered at the age of 13, the process of cultivation is supposed to immediately begin. The star rank stage is the absorption of Mana into the Mana core. Divided into the early, middle, and late Star rank stages. At the Peak of the star rank stage, the Mana core would have become a flaming star burning with the color of one's elements.
Normally one should have arrived at the Early Star rank stage at the age of 13-14.
The middle star rank stage at the age of 14-15.
The Late or Peak star rank stage at the age of 16-17.
This is the regular average age to achieve the above stages. However, some anomalies can achieve a higher stage of mana cultivation at a young stage. An example is our grand commanders who all achieved the Meteor rank stage at the age of 16..."
Zeras looked at the female instructor strangely. She said the average age for the early rank stage was 13-14, but he was 16 and only at the Early Star rank stage.
It seems he could only be classified as below average at best. Zeras turned to Quinn who was to his right as he couldn't help but ask what cultivation stage he is but he immediately paused.
"System, Activate System Scan..." Zeras thought in his mind.
[Host does not need to say activate System's Scan like a barbarian. Just say scan, besides you can only activate the ability by looking into the eyes of the victim...]
Zeras looked at the system's notification as he hissed at the grumpy AI.
"Boring right? Told ya..." Quinn said as he thought Zeras hissed due to the boring instructor.
Quinn smiled as he maintained eye contact with Quinn, even though the guy was using a blindfold, the ability still worked.
[Host has activated Scan.]
[Scanning Victim.]
[Name: Quinn Voidspace]
[Race: Human]
[Gene: Voidspace Gene.]
[Gene grade: A-rank]
[Cultivation stage:Peak Star rank stage.]
[Host should upgrade the ability to unlock other features like strength, stamina, speed, composition, weakness, skills, and abilities, etc]
Zeras looked at the information wide mouth as he easily obtained information about Quinn without asking a single word.
With this ability, he could even learn everything about his opponents and things such as surprise attacks wouldn't affect him much.
And even with all that, the system's scan ability wasn't even at its peak yet. If he upgraded it to the peak, then it'll become quite the fearsome abilities.
Besides, he also noticed Quinn's cultivation which was at the Peak Star rank stage.
It was very high and explained why Quinn could his teleportation abilities so many times in the fight without a sign of him running out of Mana.
"After the Mana core had been filled it looked like a flaming star. Then the continual absorption of Mana will lead to the creation of a phantom. The phantom of a soaring meteor. Once the phantom of the meteor has been created, one would have stepped into the Early Meteor rank stage.
Steeping into a new rank will usually lead to a massive increase In strength and reaction speed about twice that of the Peak Star rank stage. Most importantly, a new ability will be awakened related to one's genes which will be even more powerful than the first gene they have awakened. Stepping onto the path of the meteor rank will mean stepping into the path of the real strong as a meteor rank stage expert will have no problem defeating two Peak Star rank stages not only due to the increase in strengths and the birth of a second genetic ability but due to the Mana concentration which will change on arriving at the Meteor rank stage.
Change in the sense that higher levels of Mana will be sensed and awakened. Yes, there are different stages to Mana and the higher your cultivation ranks, the higher the grade you're able to absorb...
Let's take a brief moment to explain the grades of Mana..." The instructor said which piqued Zera's interest.
"Grades of Mana?" He had never heard of that before.
