pearl spoke "one question at a time please~!"
pearl continued "we didn't even finish discussing about class yet, geez~"
alice replied while rubbing the back of her head "oh, right haha"
blake spoke "now who's a dummy~"
snicker*
alice replied "grrr~!"
chuckle*
after chuckling, pearl continued "ahem~!, since were done with the category of class, let's moved on to their grade. the weakest grade is, 10th grade class and the strongest is, a 1st grade class."
blake asked "then what grade is your magic engineer class?"
pearl replied "I'm not boasting alright?, although my class isn't strong in combat, it's true value shine when used in production, thus my magic engineer class is a grade 7 class!"
***silence***
pearl asked in a surprised manner "why aren't you impressed?!!"
alice asked "is 7th grade that good?"
blake replied "I don't think it's impressive either."
pearl was frustrated and spoke "of course it's impressive!! among the 45% awakened, only 20% have seals!! not to mention, only 25% have a natured mana and the rest of the 45% are masters."
blake asked "if there's a lot of masters, then why are they criticize and discriminated?"
pearl reluctanty replied "u-umh~, b-because.. that is, ummh~, y-you see, m-masters, t-they can never surpass people with natured mana, so they are look down upon"
pearl hurriedly spoke again "b-but by all means, masters aren't weak at all, the strongest masters can contend with an 4th grade class, although, that's their limit, you won't need to worry at all, because people with class below 5th grade class are super rare~."
alice spoke "pearl, when you were talking about the population, you meant everyone living in the world right? "
pearl anxiously replied "a-ah, t-that, I-i, a-actually, I was only referring t-to human population."
!!?!!
this revelation shock alice and blake, and once again, widened their horizon, pearl continued "do you know why humans are barely recognize as one of the major races?"
blake asked "why?"
pearl replied "because humans, unlike the other races, has a low chance of awakening a natured mana, even though they have a huge population."
blake replied "i-is that so?"
alice replied with a serious tone "then pearl are you human?"
**silence**
pearl abruptly replied "of course I am!!"
blake asked "what you are? what about that wings on your back?"
pearl replied "didn't I say it was my seal?!"
alice replied "what, I thought your seal was the silver-gold armor on your wings, so they're attached together?"
pearl replied "yes, and I removed it when I'm home, it's uncomfortable walking around with a wing and armor armor after all."
alice spoke "than can you remove it now? "
pearl replied "yeah, sure"
pearl extended her hand, before the wings on her back glowed and turned to light, then the light came to her palm and formed a shape of a feather with color similar to that of an owl.
pearl spoke "ah~, much better~"
