Amon headed straight to the personal training rooms after the lessons.
He entered the largest one at the end of the row, unlike Daniel's normal-sized one.
There, Athena was already waiting for him.
Like always, she had her long purple hair tied into a high ponytail and was wearing a tight black bodysuit that accentuated the curves of her body.
Though most people never took her into consideration because of how unapproachable and cold she was, Athena was one of the most beautiful people at the academy.
Only beaten by Alia and Katherine.
Those two were just on another level.
"You are here," Athena said and Amon nodded.
After training continuously for one month, Amon felt like she had gotten used to him.
A sign of this was the informal speech between them now.
And unlike before, she would scold and rage at Ren freely before him now, not caring about her image.
"Yeah."
"With weapon or without weapon?" He asked.
"Let's go with the forr today," Athena said.
Amon nodded and quickly retrieved the nodachi from his inventory.
There was no look of surprise from Athena.
It was because Amon had explained the Inventory to her as an application of his [Void] elent.
Because of this, he could access it freely in front of her and Arthur now.
Taking a stance, Amon got ready.
But just as the battle was about to start, Athena paused.
"That reminds , your reward for the incident should be given today or tomorrow."
Amon's body sparked up.
That was right.
With so string pulling of Arthur and Athena, they were able to guarantee him a reward for the smile incident.
This was because the forr didn't want to let him go without any reward.
Amon felt a being slithering up his neck.
His gaze tilted down where the coiled Vain was yawning.
[yawn....What's the reward, Amon?] He asked him telepathically.
Like Athena, the snake familiar with his had also gotten used to him now.
They no longer used to call each other 'human' or 'snake' anymore.
[Okay.] He replied and turned to Athena.
"Any idea on what it might be?"
"Hmm?" Athena pondered with a hand on her chin.
"As far as I know, it might be a weapon manual or mana to, though I'm not sure which one."
Amon's eyes started shimring.
He didn't care.
He was fine with both as both of them were perfect.
Mana tos or Weapon manuals were basically the sa as familiar arts.
Mana tos would grant you a skill that might or might not be associated with your elent.
However, after learning the skill, you could get it stronger by learning it and unlocking different phases of it.
It all depended on your mastery of the art.
You couldn't learn more than 5 mana tos as any more would make your mana pathways burst under stress.
These manuals were usually written by the founders or a successor of those skills.
Or dungeons.
As for Weapon Manuals, they were completely different from tos.
For one, they were restricted to a certain weapon.
A sword manual couldn't be applied to a spear or shield.
However, a sword manual can be applied to all its sub-types.
And the sa for the other weapons as well.
And unlike tos, a weapon manual was based on various categories.
Footwork, form, stance, movent, etc.
This was why weapon manuals were much rarer and expensive than mana tos.
They also had a slow progression and mastery rate compared to the tos.
For weapon manuals, you can't learn more than 5 weapon manuals as well.
But for the sa weapon, you can't learn more than 3.
If you learn 3 sword manuals, you can't learn more and have to fill the other 2 spots with different weapons if you want to.
There was only one downside for the weapon manuals that made them even affordable for middle-class people.
And that was that nobody really bought them except Arnists, who were much lower in population as compared to Clovists.
However, both of them were still ranked on the sa basis.
And that was Tier 1-9, just like weapons.
And like he said, Amon was in dire need of both of them so he wasn't complaining about what
he would get.
Either was fine.
As long as it was a useful and high-ranked one.
He asked Athena on what rank it could be but she said it depended on the Lancasters.
And pondering upon it, Amon knew that Lancasters, although greedy, never forget to repay
their debts in full.
Since Alya got her mories back, there was a slim chance that she might have talked about it
to her parents.
Of course that would only be the case if they discussed the matter to her first.
Amon couldn't imagine Alya doing that by herself.
But by any chance, if this happened, then he could expect a good reward from the royal family.
"Let's get back to the lesson now," Athena said and Amon nodded.
The lesson nowadays was simple.
Athena would create spatial ripples in the air, and Amon had to familiarize himself with them.
Familiarize and Manipulate. These were the two things she instructed him to do.
He had to counter space and find ways to bend it to its will.
And with that, Athena brought down her hand.
"Let's begin,"
Instantly, the air started to wriggle in the constant symphonious ripples that stretched out
from Athena's hand.
Amon stood still, grasping his nodachi with his eyes closed.
Imdiately, he felt a strange sensation at a certain spot and leaped towards it.
He slashed his nodachi which was faintly coated in [Void] mana.
A strange shock passed through Amon's body as his nodachi connected with the space.
The space ruptured and a tallic ringing sound.
This was the nature of [Void]. Complete destruction.
It even ruptured the space mana that it ca into contact with.
But Amon kept his sword still, bearing the shock, and instantly leapt towards the next
sensation.
And continued on and on, until he was fully dripping with sweat.
No.
It still didn't happen.
Zephyra still hadn't woken up. Even after a month.
