"Too much bloodlust?" [Too much bloodlust] Hearing the affirmation in my head, I held my neck and sighed. I raised my finger and glanced at the Ring of Solomon. This artifact had somehow subconsciously activated very subtly and strangely to my emotions and intent during the last moments of my exchange against Derrick at the General Combat Class. Because of that slight gap, my disguised intent by the Crown Veil's enchantment was subtly released and multiplied by Ruler's Authority. But I'm not sure if Derrick or the others noticed, but it was most likely. In the first place, Derrick wasn't an opponent I was hoping, or needed to beat. It was just a light exchange to gauge my level, but i was ready to put considerable intent behind my actions by revealing a little. Even i wbated to see how far i could possibly match up. But the difference between Derrick and i was obvious, even without me holding back anything. That was just the difference between ranks. And that was how I accidentally ended up releasing a tad bit too much of my bloodlust. "Well, all is well that ends well.' I sighed again and got up from the bed in the spacious, and well ventilated infirmary. [It was over as soon as it began.] The synthetic voice in my head seemed to scoff as Meta sneered at me inwardly. At that, I actually didn't have a comeback this time around. "What was that about showing Aegis a glimpse of my true ability again? I got my ass handed to me without even realising how..." I mused with a hollow chuckle. Just then, I felt the presence of a person approach from one side, and the figure of the female staff currently in charge of the infirmary came into view. She swept her gaze across me oddly for a second, before she said. "Were you just talking to someone...?" Silently I nodded, then added dismissively with a shrug. "No, I was just murmuring to myself." After saying that, I reached for my coat and was about to leave when I was abruptly stopped by the next thing the nurse said. "I have." Turning back to face forward as we continued to walk, i daid shortly. 'In fact, i already made up my mind on my faculty, major and specialized courses.' "Faculty of Combat, Tactical Close Combat major." This was my most obvious choice. The three main departments were established to accommodate the natures of the Awakened or Heroes. Awakened possessing an Aura core, and Aura were mostly considered Warriors or Knights, and would often fall into the Department of Combat as their chosen faculty gor obvious reasons. Awakened with Mana, and Mana cores, called Mages, or Sorcerer, or Mana users were more likely to choose the Faculty of Magic, or Faculty pf Alchemy. And if an Awakened possess either of those natures or characteristics, but chooses of his or her own will or preference, they may decide to choose the Faculty of Research. Now the thing was, upon closer inspection, each of these four mahor Faculties were all connected, and interconnected in some manner. A mage could also choose to have a Major under the Combat department, and when this happens, specialized individuals called Battle Mages, or War Mages are created often in the process. Same could be the the reverse for Warrior oriented Heroes who chose the Department of research instead. Although, Alchemy was a little different... 'I don't really know much about that one too...' I spoke matter of factly to Alex, and as expected, he didn't seem all that suprised by my response or choice. I was an Aura user, a Warrior by nature, the combat department was my most likely option, as the department of magic required Mana users. 'Yes, matter of 'factly'...' As Alex and i, side by side, drew nearer to our next class, my footsteps slowly came to a stop as i stood with a casual and dismissive expression before an entrance. But deep internally, silently in my heart, i thought, estranged. 'But i no longer exists within the boundaries of facts and reason...' [A/N: Sorry for the delay!]
