190. A Mistake
[Dinsional Mage]. [Fairy Maiden]. [Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus].
I could only think of my three Classes, even as I went about my day, almost chanical. I was still trying to study and learn whatever I could. Just a little bit distracted.
The thing about [Dinsional Mage] is that it probably wont give a Skill to travel through planes at this level. Its too simple. Maybe at later levels, when I advance my Class to 100, it may give what I want.
What was its description again? I tried to recall.
[Dinsional Mage]
A [Dinsional Mage] is a [Mage] specialized in manipulating space and reality itself to their own will. Unlike their [Space Mage] counterparts, [Dinsional Mages] focuses on making slight alterations to what is already there rather than rapidly weaving the fabric of space to achieve their goals.

Right. So it already had pretty good Stats. But it was limited.
The thing was, I wasnt in any rush. I had all the ti in the world. I could just choose this, the safe option, and wait until I reached Level 100.
It was as Veronica said: it would work out, eventually. I just had to keep at it.
Which was why [Fairy Maiden] appealed to .
I thought about the Class, even as I sat through lecturer Claudias explanation on the various axioms of space theory. I nodded along, trying to parse what she was saying. But my thoughts were ultimately focused on the benefits of choosing a Fairy Class.
I knew the cons were how Fairy Classes were scored by Fairies. They often devolved into fanaticism which resulted in actually hurting Fairies sothing which I didnt want to do. I adored them. Like Lily. They were so different from Humans: I felt a kinship with them.
Nevertheless, I decided to ask Claudia about what she thought of Fairy Classes. Of course, I didnt directly ask the question. I made sure to be elusive about it.
Fairy-related Classes?
She quirked a brow. I made up an excuse.
I was doing so research the other day, and stumbled across the existence of Fairy-related Classes. Those that worship Fairies and gain their natural ability to manipulate space to their liking. If thats the case, why exactly have I not heard of anyone with such a Class?
Claudia furrowed her brows. Her forehead wrinkled as she thought about it, speaking slowly.
Fairy Classes are first of all, they are generally banned. Out of fear of invoking the wrath of the Fairy Queen once more, the Den of Souls have imposed a ban on attaining such a Class. But more than that they are far too limited, as far as I understand it.
Limited?
It is common belief that Fairies are space magic specialists, but that cannot be further from the truth. Only those who co to the Mortal Realm are skilled space magic users. Those who are not just simply cant cross over. My dissertation was actually on this subject.
I piqued her interest. Claudia always seed to be quite monotonous, even when she was teaching space magic theory. But now, she seed invested.
The kind of space magic youll thus be able to utilize if one goes down such a path with a Fairy-related Class will face the sa limits a Fairy would have. What you learn will aid your Class only if it pertains to Fairies and their magic. It will punish such general space magic theories which are learned and studied here in Mavos Academy.
Huh. I see.
By the sound of it, Fairy-related Classes were far more instinctual than theoretical like Human [Mage] Classes. Which sounded like itd be a boon to , if not for the other downsides.
I didnt know how Fairies worked. Perhaps their magic only let them enter and leave the Spirit Plane. If that was the case, I wouldnt be able to see Haec again. And its main drawing point to
[Fairy Maiden]
A [Fairy Maiden] is a [Mage] who has earned the trust and blessings of Fairykind. Under the tutelage of a Fairy, a [Fairy Maiden] has learned many things. Yet, she still knows not the true secrets of the Fairy Queen or her goals. Perhaps, in ti

Was the fact that it spoke of sothing about the Fairy Queen. My curiosity was piqued. I wondered what that was. But Lily said shed tell if we ever t again.
So, that wasnt too much of a draw for anymore.
The last Class option was [Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus].
[Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus]
A [Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus] is a [Mage] of renown. The world is their playground. Its inhabitants are their friends, although so are their enemies. For those they abhor, they will show no rcy. But for those they love, they will show kindness everlasting. They are free. Not constrained to rely a single location in the vast world. They know there is more to existence than what is before them. Their magic lets them seek out things beyond their periphery, no matter what.

Truth be told, I just liked its na. And it gave the best Stat Points. Even as I left Claudias office hours, heading back to the library for so last bit of studying, I could only think of this Class.
It felt like I was already decided.
Yes, I had all the ti in the world I could choose [Dinsional Mage] and probably be able to return to the Netherworld.
But Haec didnt. I didnt know what had happened to him, or if he was even alive. I had to know.
[Fairy Maiden] was interesting, but I just didnt feel like it was a fit for . I liked Fairies, but I didnt worship them.
[Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus] it is.
I slamd my books shut, drawing the attention of a few students studying in the library. I blinked.
Oops.

I left the library soon after, knowing what I wanted. I wanted to head to my Lair, but I rembered the main problem with advancing in Class. It would make fall asleep. That ant I was vulnerable. Even if in my own space.
I didnt like sleeping because of that. So, I returned back to the only place I knew was safe. Saffrons room.
She wasnt in her room when I entered. But I had the key, so I didnt have any trouble going in. Matthew wasnt there either, so I was free to do as I pleased. I grabbed a quick snack of so insects, before closing my eyes and passing out on the couch.

I know what I want. [Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus]...
It was a risk. It might not even have been a Class related to space magic for all I knew. But if it was, it might have helped reach my goal sooner rather than later. And I would have had a cool Class.
So, I made my choice.

I sat up abruptly, blinking and glancing over at the clock, checking to see how much ti had passed. Just as I expected, I had passed out for a few hours thanks to undergoing my advancent. Now, I was awake, looking around the room, trying to see if anything seed different.
[Planar Navigation]. I had an available Skill and a current Skill consolidate into a single new Skill. That was the first ti such a thing happened. Veronica was right when she said that things would work out at our levels due to our specialization!
I didnt see any significant changes with my vision not until I focused, narrowing my eyes. I saw the way everything seed ever-so-slightly pull themselves into each other. That was a concept Daniel talked about once, right? Gravity.
Everything with even a modicum of mass seed to slightly tug at the things next to it, even going as far as to affect the space between them as well. It was an odd sight. The objects were almost bending, but they werent, really.
That seed to be a passive effect of the Skill. I got to my feet, folding my arms together. I shifted slightly, annoyed by the way my clawed hands almost dug into my blue jacket.
I closed my eyes, speaking the Skill na softly.
[Planar Navigation].
And suddenly, the world opened up. It was like I could see everything around and how it was overlaid into this plane, but not at the sa ti. I didnt get a sense of the objects themselves or how they moved. Just how they interacted with each other and the world in this dinsion.
It was like [Spatial Sight], except it was far more detailed, and extended as far as fifty feet all around . And even as figures entered and left this area of spatial vision of mine, remnants strands of their being almost seed to leave itself behind, allowing to pick up and follow that trail unless enough ti passed. And it wasnt just five minutes.
So, it was like an enhanced version of [Spatial Sight] and [Spectral Tracking]. Which was quite good, honestly. This way, I didnt just have to rely on [A Hunters Sense] if soone was stalking . I sat there, waiting to see how long itd take for the Skill to end, but it turned out that it would remain active until I ran out of mana.
Which would take a while.
There wasnt much to see either. The hallways slowly emptied as people returned to their rooms for the night, chatting and talking, before I decided to deactivate the Skill and activate my next new Skill.
[Scatter Shift].
I raised a hand, pointing at the various books I had laid on the floor. All six of them vanished, appearing in the air where I wanted them to appear, falling back to the ground. I blinked. Then I grinned.
Woah.
Unlike [Banish] which was limited to only moving a single object at once, I seed to be able to teleport multiple objects at the sa ti. There was a brief ten second cool down between uses, but I was certain it would decrease as the level of the Skill increased. I was impressed, honestly.
It was a pretty good Skill, all things considered.
Thats not to ntion my other new Skills.
I tapped a sharp finger on my chin, mulling over the available Skills I had.
[Temporal Distortion], [Object Levitation], [Mystical Projection], and [Short Range Teleportation] which didnt improve
The sound of a key turning drew my attention. I glanced over at the door, seeing it open, and I bead.
Welco back, Saffron!
The pink-haired woman stepped through the door, rubbing at her temples. She glanced up at .
Hello, S
Then she paused. She rubbed her eyes, before they widened. She stared at for a mont as I cocked my head. She dropped down to her knees, pointing a finger. And I glanced down at myself.
Oh no.
Sohow, so way, I was not in my Human form. After undergoing my Class advancent, I beca well, a
Demon!
