207 Teachers and Mentors

"Hey Emilia you okay?" Helen questioned.

"Yeah, you've been rather silent in training and breakfast." Daisy agreed.

"Nothing special." I sighed wondering when I'd get the chance to explain to Paul while nonchalantly practising spell casting.

"So Grace do you use the same spells we do?" Jay questioned curiously.

"Right now for cantrips, I do but once we progress to higher-level stuff I'd probably request to have Rangers Specialised spells.

"Ohh, can I do that for Cleric and Paladin as well?" Daisy questioned looking excited.

"Yeah, I'm sure you could." Grace smiled.

"So what different spell do you guys do?" I questioned trying to get involved in the conversations.

"So Rangers spells generally aim towards enchanting my arrows, making targets easier to hit or making us more hidden to surprise enemies," Grace answered.

"So Duridic spells and your spells are generally the same, the only difference is mine tend to lean towards natural elements, like thunder and plant growths" Helen answered.

"Mine obviously are more attuned to holy and fire." Daisy smiled.

"Yup us sorcerers and wizards sadly have the most extensive spell list, meaning it will take a long time to master." Jay sighed.

"Oh Jay, when I spoke to Paul he told me that he's heard of your previous Mentor," I replied excited a little to tell him what I know.

"Oh? and what's that?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Paul said that Master Dildamzed is a master of four elements and that he probably left in search of two more disciples for the other two elements," I answered.

"Oh, so Jennifer is Air and Jay must be Fire what are the other two?" Daisy questioned.

"I think it was Earth and Water." I struggled to remember.

"That explains why he was always so good in casting Air and Fire spells when training us." Jay nodded.

"He also said that he'd keep an eye out for any sightings of news of him," I smiled.

"That would be really great, I would love to know how he's doing." Jay smiled.

"How comes I didn't get an awesome famous mentor," Daisy mumbled clearly a little jealous.

"Well, I'd say you have the strongest being deity." Grace chuckled.

"She's not wrong, I mean you have the favour of a God and powers given by a God, that's so amazing!" I chuckled.

"So who trained you two?" Daisy asked Helen and Grace curiously.

"My Aunt and Uncle.." Helen answered quietly.

"My teacher was Captain Themaer he was personally responsible for my safety and looked over me most my life." Grace explained.

"Were they famous as well?" I questioned.

"You wouldn't have heard of my aunt and uncle, but they were very old Arch druids," Helen answered.

"Ohh Paul told me that Druids live for a very long time," I added remembering what he told me.

"Captain Themaer was a Captain of a small regiment renowned in expertise in fighting Orcs," Grace answered.

"That's so cool!" I replied at how everyone has had previous training from such awesome sounding teachers.

"By the way, do you think the Demon incursion was fully dealt with or what we discovered was just a simple cell?" Jay questioned out of the blue.

"Yeah, I'm surprised there wasn't any effort put into letting the students know," Helen agreed.

"Why would they keep it hush hush?" Grace questioned.

"They probably don't want to set the school into a panic." Daisy suggested.

"I mean when we got stuck defending the city so many students were essentially soldiers, I 'm sure they would be able to handle the news," I replied.

"Well, I'm sure Ashley will keep us informed if we should be looking for anything suspicious." Jay nodded.

"And what is going on in the below ground level floor of the school," I asked in shock.

"Yeah, it's so weird." Jay nodded.

"Well if Atlantis is truly the same floating fortress that met Elves generations ago, I'd assume the full extent and capabilities of this floating fortress is unknown," Helen answered.

Her answer suddenly made me connect the dots with one of my visions, I distinctly remember a vision telling me that we had to unlock the full potential of Atlantis. "So you said Atlantis visited the Elves?" I questioned curiously.

"Yes To be specific the Elven home plane in the Fey." Helen answered.

"How do you get to the Fey?" I inquired.

"It was surprisingly easily accessed through Archways in Ancient Druid groves, but they are corrupted now and unreachable. One more Archway is in the Elven main city Iyferserin." Gelen answered.

"Hmm, so how did Atlantis get there?" I asked hoping to learn more.

"I dunno, maybe it has the means to traverse into other plans, I guess," Grace answered.

"Hmm," I began to ponder.

"I do wish we'd spend some more time learning new spells." Jay sighed doing the same of cantrips are so boring.

"Yeah, I do wish we spent more time learning new stuff." I agreed. "Scarlets training has made me stronger though despite being relatively simple," I added.

"Yeah, we felt it too!" Daisy and Grace smiled.

"When do you think we can get some cool equipment and items?" I asked feeling really excited.

"Well, there should be a few magic shops in all the main cities and some larger towns," Helen answered.

"Yeah and with the gold you have, you can probably buy a lot of nice gear." Daisy smiled.

"Ohh with the money Paul gave me," I questioned.

"Yeah, he gave you like an absurd amount, to be honest," Grace answered.

"Ohhh... I was thinking of maybe earning it myself." I honestly explained to them.

"Well we have a number of options, earn gold and rewards from bounties and requests, hunt for the ingredients ourselves and pay an enchanter to enchant or create magical gear, or loot dangerous dungeons and treasures." Grace chuckled.

"Wow, you guys really do live in an RPG fantasy world." I laughed making them all look at me utterly confused.

"What's an RPG?" Jay questioned.

"Oh, it's... like a game where you play a character where you would collect loot and equipment and save the world." I gave them all a very basic explanation.

"Oh? So our lives are like a game?" Hele questioned.

"kinda." I laughed awkwardly since as everyone looked at me like I was a weirdo.

"Some of the things you say are so weird." Helen chuckled.

We all began to listen to Professor Meha as she began explaining the difference in Cantrip spells and how each one is for advantageous in different situations when suddenly out of nowhere an unbelievable large wave of Arcanum rippled over us. Causing us to instinctively brace our tables and chairs for an impact like an earthquake or something devastating would follow. I looked at everyone else in a panic feeling this new sensation, my heart beating quickly as adrenaline surged through my body.

"What was that?" Other students in the class began to ask as more and more of these ripples began to pass over us in waves.

"You guys feel that?!" I questioned in a panic as Professor Meha began to look towards the source of the rippling.

"Miss are we under attack?" A student asked.

"Calm down children, I'm sure it's okay." Professor Meha smiled but even she had a hint of concern on her.

We all began looking at each other extremely concerned, "How could something possibly attack Atlantis?" Jay asked like it was an absurd idea.

"If I'm not mistaken that was a large release of Arcanum, but even I have;t felt anything on this scale before," Helen whispered.

"Professor what should we do?!" I questioned professor Meha,

"Don't worry Miss Emilia, Atlantis is very safe since the founding of Atlantis its walls have never been breached, I just waiting for further instructions and an update on the situation." She smiled trying to keep us all relaxed. "But just in case if everyone could prepare to end the class early, just as a precaution." She instructed.

"What the hell?! I questioned looking at everyone as the whole class began to prepare their things ready to finish class early each with a clam but worried look all over.
