"Ahh, that's the na.. Sorry Seron..hehe... I didn't know how to win otherwise." That was a lie, but he couldn't tell Seron that he was too scared to use his killing intent, which was still not easy to control.
That was a matter of his pride, even if he didn′t have much.
Seron looked suspicious at Jason and wondered how much of his families′ treasured Floating sky movent technique, he copied.
Thinking back on the ti he fought Jason, Seron concluded that he only made use of the most basic level of the floating sky technique without trying his utmost with it.
Sighing in relief, he couldn′t help but jolt, thinking about the possibility of Jason copying more than that.
Once his brother or even worse his father found out, it would be horrifying.
Looking at Jason, who was still slightly with serious eyes, he had to do sothing.
"Jason, I think we have to talk about the last battle and your ability to copy techniques by looking at the mana circulation."
Till was still standing next to them and nodded his head while seriously looking at both of them.
If Jason just copied every technique he wanted to, it could be extrely dangerous for his own health.
But that was not everything, if he copied techniques from big clans, guilds, families, sects, kingdoms, and multiple other monstrous organizations, it was more likely that Jason would be killed in the future before he could grow.
Who would give a stranger the most treasured techniques a family had which they only gave their most promising offspring or disciples as copying them was not easy with the secret inscription inside the manuals.
These inscriptions had hidden anings inside them in order to enlighten the reader.
Nobody! and listening to Seron, Till was sure that Jason copied the special movent skill floating sky, even if it was rough and only in the pre-origin state.
Before they continued their talk, they went to a separate room, while the others replenished their mana for the next Class battle.
Till lectured Jason for quite so ti and Seron tried persuading him to not use the floating sky skill anymore.
But sothing seed suspicious to Jason when TIll and Seron talked to him…
It seed like both knew each other for longer than one month because Till explained things about the floating sky technique and its uniqueness in order to show him how dangerous it would be to continue learning it.
Because the technique was so unique, Jason would like to learn it more in-depth but from Till′s explanation, it seed like it was really dangerous.
If this technique had similarities to other skills, Jason would have continued learning it, because he would still be able to say, he comprehended the additional sequences by himself.
Till knew almost everything about the Floating sky movent technique and Jason was growing more and more suspicious.
In the end, he accepted the fact that he was not allowed to use the floating sky skill, but Jason grew more curious about their relationship as he asked.
"Are you two acquaintances?" Jason straightforwardly asked.
While Till was about to create a story to cover the truth, Seron was only 14-years-old and still green behind his ears and acted naively in front of Jason
"Yes, he is my master!" Seron acknowledged and before he looked at his master.
Till was shocked about Seron′s naivety….
`Did I teach him wrong?` and upon seeing Till′s facial expression, Seron noticed that he did sothing wrong and an "Ohh" escaped his mouth.
Jason only looked at Seron and then his teacher.
He was only slightly astonished about this revelation because he concluded sothing similar, but it was still different than he had thought before.
He was an emotional youth before but when it was important his rationality dominated his mind.
Since he had refined his mind and overco the torture from the devilish valkyrie-shield fruit, his train of thoughts had beco much clearer and less emotional which helped him a lot.
"Why are you two even here on Astrix? Shouldn′t Canir have a better environnt to refine and absorb mana in order to increase one's mana core according to the mana density? Both of you are not hiding from soone and openly showing off your soul weapon and hundreds of martial art skills, whether they are unique, special, or tier-3… It doesn't make sense that nobody is wondering about both of you, except …."
When Jason said soul-weapon both, Seron and his master were astonished because they hadn't thought that he would be able to differentiate a normal graded sword from a soul-weapon, which was not easy.
And wouldn't most people think that rather than a soul- weapon, one would have a mana-weapon?
The difference between normal graded weapons and mana weapons was the enhancent in sharpness, toughness, and so particular even had an amplification in elental attacks.
If one attacked an evolved beast with a grade-1 sword, this weapon would most likely break or if one was lucky get repelled.
A low-grade-1 mana weapon would still be able to pierce through the defense of evolved beasts.
With a wand, which was also a mana weapon, elental attacks could be enhanced and a simple fireball, for example, could double in its might, once the wielder applied everything correctly.
While mana weapons were already special, soul weapons were the sa as mana-weapons with the addition of the connection with the wielder and the adjustnt in strength.
As such the wielder could handle the impact and mana consumption, while the soul-weapon would grow with its contractor.
Soul weapons could not be used by other people, because these weapons were crafted and forged with the contractor′s soul in them.
Not even reforging would extinguish the connection between both of them.
Mana and soul weapons couldn′t be easily distinguished and it took many experts multiple years of arduous afford to learn certain eyesight techniques in order to be able to distinguish between both.
As such, Till imdiately adjusted his previous statent about Jason′s mana eyes in his mind, while Seron was looking at him with widened eyes and an opened jaw.
This ti, Till was the one to answer Jason′s question. He wouldn′t omit or skip many facts because he wanted to tell Jason about it even if he wouldn't ask.
He was curious about Jason, which was also the reason he helped him out with the Splitting mind technique.
Maybe Jason could participate in his mission if he wanted.
He was slightly clueless about how to begin so Till just started
"How do I begin…? First of all, you are right about everything you said. We are not hiding and to be honest, both of us are Canir′s citizens and not from Astrix which you already figured out.
I'm curious how you found out about Seron's soul weapon but that's not very important.
There are multiple reasons we are here but it's mainly for Seron to see how humans live within the Archipelago and the difference of strengths all around humanity's territory.
Compared to the citizens of Canir, the strength one can see here is almost laughable and humans have not suffered mana beast outbreaks, yet.
That's mainly because of the weak beasts we have here and Guardian-ranked beasts are already considered the stronger foes, which is a joke on Canir and the other mainlands.
If a single powerhouse would enter the forbidden areas here, they could easily annihilate these foes and prevent Guardian-ranked beasts to appear, but why is nobody doing that?
I don′t know if you care about that, but I want to enlighten you.
The answer is simple... Guardian-ranked beasts are guarding magical treasures, which need multiple years in order to grow.
Once these treasures are ripe these powerhouses co over to pluck them.
Guardian-ranked beasts could be labeled as workers for these powerhouses, protecting these treasures until the stronger individuals co back to pluck them.
As you may know, the strongest humans on Astrix are at the Grandmagus rank and only a few tens of thousand at that.
Most Grandmagus on Astrix or the Archipelagos are old and one could say they′re retired.
Youths with enough potential won't stay on the small Islands, which are only used to exploit everyone.
The gap between the future developnt of soone within the Archipelagos compared to citizens on Canir is vast.
There are only a few things Canir and the Islands have in common.
First, our origin is the sa and we are all from the sa race.
Second, we all have the sa enemies, which are the invading intelligent races and the beasts all over the wilderness, and third, every human underwent a soul-awakening and it's still not known how to influence these awakenings in order to improve them.
The awakening of a soul is not discriminating about humans origins, while the chances are only slightly higher to awaken better souls if one is from a great background, which might not even be true.... As for our mission
"WAIT!!" Jason interrupted Till and upon looking into Jason′s eyes, which looked cold, he noticed that sothing was wrong.
"You want to say that millions of people have to die and suffer because so powerhouses want to keep their treasures for themself? Are they even humans? Why don't they just clear a few islands for all humans, foster and fertilize so other islands to play gardener or sothing like that? Why do the weak have to suffer like that? Where is their humanity and kindness?"
Luckily they were in a separate room, while Seron shuttered in fear, Till looked astonished at Jason′s condensed killing intent outbreak.
`He really hates the rule of the jungle that much?` Till was raised up by loving families and the only ti he really suffered was when he ate the devilish valkyrie-shield fruit while this mory was still imprinted into his mind.
Seron was already familiar with so feeble killing intent, released from his master to show him how killing intent feels like, that he won't be scared once he fought with bloodthirsty beasts or other human bandits.
However, the killing intent Jason released was multiple tis stronger and more condensed compared to the most basic killing-intent, his master demonstrated him.
Taking a few steps back, cold sweat poured down his back as he fell on his but, while his eyes trembled.
`Is that really Jason?′
