His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God? Chapter 17: How to take care of a God's temper? (1)

Lideon Sepher raises his brow.

"What is his rank?"

"His rank..." I glance at Mogrok. Spirit and spirit beasts are divided into three tiers. Spirits are a pure form of ehr with consciousness. Spirit beasts are beasts with the ability to channel the ehr. There are three tiers. The top tier creatures are called Dema. Dema is too powerful to form a contract with. The difference between any two-tier is too much.

Mogrok belongs to mid-tier. His rank is one.

"...I can't say." This is a lower realm. Everyone has mistaken mogrok to be rank three spirit beast of a low tier. Rank three is the lowest rank in the low tier. Mogrok's rank is one in the mid-tier. He is freaking more than ten thousands years old. He is probably the oldest spirit beast in the lower realm.

He turns around to look at Mogrok. "What is his tier?"

I purse my lips. If I answer that question, I will attract unwanted attention. Though, low tier spirit beasts are common. A rank one low tier beast is already a luxury in the lower realm. If I say his true tier, then I will attract unwanted attention. I don't want people to co for Mogrok. I am afraid that he will beco annoyed and eat them all.

"I don't know."

"I see." He is watching with apprehension. "You don't know your spirit beasts' tier or rank. Are you an ignorant one, Kresi?"

"I suppose, I am," I answer him with a sigh.

"Kresi, your na is different." He presses his palm together. "The part of your na sounds like the nas of the runes. If you combine those two runes, they make a combination rune. The aning of that combination rune is special. Can you tell the na of that rune and its aning?"

That's a tricky one. Kresi. I have not studied any rune that sounds like my na. Kresi. Kresi. Kresi. I repeat my na in my head. Kre? Si? What does Kre an? I don't know how runes can form nas. Runes are complicated to draw by sound. A single rune can an one thing. The other rune can an sothing else. But, when two runes are combined, the aning is completely different.

"I don't know." I give him an embarrassed smile. "I know the aning of 'Si' and 'Kr'. I don't know how to combine runes yet."

There is a flicker of disappointnt in his eyes. It's gone in the next mont. My score is four out of the eight now.

"Combination runes are not part of the curriculum." Teacher Hohan shouts from the corner. "Lord Sepher, she is the best student in my class. She knows the na of all the basic runes."

That's unexpected. Of all the people in this place, I didn't think that it would be him who would take a stand for . I thought that he disliked .

"I understand." Lideon Sepher waves his hand dismissively. "Nas are important. Using runic nas can bind a person to a certain fate. Even having a part of runes in soone's na can bind the person. I will tell you the aning of your na. Your na, Kresi, is ford of two runes. The rune 'Kres' has many anings."

"Kres?" I have never heard of that rune.

"The first aning of Kres is 'Perish'. But, this rune is too powerful. An average Sehr of the higher realm can turn mountains into dust with this rune. The second aning is 'chaos'. When a Sehr uses this with that intention, it can create trendous instability. The third aning is 'erase'."

"Erase?" What kind of na is this? It's an unlucky na.

Lideon Sepher raises his brows and tells with an amused look in his eyes. "Only the Renasir can use that rune with that intention."

"What?" I feel like my intestines have been twisted. The Renasir is the one who looks for the harbinger and kills it. Damn!

He scratches his chin. "However, the combination rune of Kres and Ei ans 'Making marks that cannot be erased'. Whether the marks are good or bad, they will stubbornly exist forever. I am curious now. Tell , Kresi. Are you from the higher realm?"

"I don't want to tell." I have no idea where the original owner was from. She wasn't from Beggar city. The score changes to four out of nine. Damn!

"Tell the aning of your na." He asks the final question with a cunning smile. I know what he is doing here.

"Making marks that cannot be erased," I answer him shalessly. The final score is five out of ten. I have made it to the next round.

Lideon Sepher smirks at and leaves the stage without a word. I go back to Kyo and the others. Mogrok is lightly snoring.

I can hear the whispers. I ignore them completely. I have abandoned my old na and taken this one. The one who makes indelible marks? Why does this na have such an ominous feeling? After a year, I am hearing about the Renasir again.

"Don't think too much." A cold hand presses against my forehead. "You did well, Elder Sister."

I glance at Kyo. "It's your turn, Kyo. Don't let them screw with you."

He gives a rare smile. "Don't worry."

Another official cos for Kyo's turn. Lideon Sepher is sitting on his high seat and watching pensively. Did I steal your food? Stop staring at like this. I ignore him and concentrate on Kyo.

"Kresi." Teacher Shyl calls my na with concern. "You have done well. Don't feel bad."

I give him a nod. The audience doesn't think so. They think that I have won it unfairly. It's not my fault if Lideon Sepher has been asking random unrelated questions.

"How co a Wahr don't know about her own spirit beast's rank and tier?" Teacher Hohan scowls at . "You pretended to not know, brat!"

I close my eyes again. "Teacher Hohan, thank you for stepping up earlier."

"Hmph! I did it because you are my student whether I like it or not. He asked an advanced question."

Kyo is focused. The official has been asking him related to basic runes, ranks and tiers, nas of the basic spells, and spirits. He has answered eight out of eight questions right. He is going well so far.

"Making marks that can't be erased." Teacher Hohan speaks after a long pause. "It suits you, brat. Only you are arrogant enough to carry that na."

"I guess so, Teacher Hohan." I don't know what kind of person the original owner was. But, this is my na now. I will arrogantly bear this na and continue to live this life.
