Chapter 28 : Magic Theory Class [ 3 ]

...

Among the vast expanse of the cosmos, two nebulous mists drift lazily through the air, the area between the two was filled with bright stars as they appeared alive.

The white mist glanced to the golden one as it solemnly inquire.

"What did you mean there's an 'error'?"

The golden mist urgently reply to the white mist, "Just as I said, It seems there is an error within the system, and there seems to be something big that will be happening soon!"

Upon hearing there is an error within the system, the white mist pondered deeply as it tries to hypothesize what is the cause of such issue. However, the white mist doesn't know what had happen as this situation has never happened before.

The golden mist seemingly look agitated as it continues to glance at the white mist, waiting for further instructions, the golden mist also forgot to mention another important issue within the records as well.

The golden mist mutter, "Sir.. Umm"

"Hmm? is there something wrong other than the 'error' you spoke off?"

"Actually sir.. there seems to be a rift within the thread."

"Rift? why would there be an rift?" the white mist wondered aloud.

Although this has happened in the past, the rift slowly disappeared as time passes. however this time around, the rift seem to expand as it tries to consume the thin threads of the record.

"I don't know either, the last time this happened the rift just slowly disappeared but this time around it seems to be devouring the threads" the golden mist replied, just as puzzled as the white mist about what was unfolding in this strange situation.

"I'll do something about it" the white mist solemnly responds, as it continue glancing at the golden mist, "Are you able to figure out the 'error' within the system?"

"I couldn't figure out the error exactly," the golden mist said. "But it's somehow related to Acendia."

The white mist' ponders deeply while it took on a hint of unease as it asks, "Could it have anything to do with that child?"

"It doesn't seem so, however the 'error' seems to be within the world of Acendia.'"

The white mist mulled over while turning a glance at an certain planet that is linked with countless white threads, it cannot intervene the world of mortals as the white mist will receive divine retribution from the laws of the universe.

"Send that child an investigation relating to the 'error'"

Inside the lecture theatre, I stared at the teenage woman in front of the stage. Her long, wavy brown hair with streaks of gold glimmers under the light, held back by a single golden hair pin on the left side.

A pair of deep blue eyes, like finest sapphires, peek over the rim of her rectangular brow-line glasses at me, radiating warmth and kindness.

Around her neck hangs a shiny red crystal pendant, sparkling against the long white coat that falls just below her knees just like an professional doctor's garment.

Underneath she wears a loose, long-sleeved black shirt that swamps her slim frame and a pair of wide-legged off-white jeans as the hems frayed at the bottom.

As I slouched in my seat, my chin propped up by one hand, I continued to gaze up at the professor standing before me. Though she carried herself with poise and wisdom befitting her years, if I hadn't known she was 32, I would have thought her fresh from the academy, newly graduated and freshly appointed as professor.

Her youthful spirit and joy for teaching still shone through, seeming to make the very air vibrate with energy and ideas.

She spoke with passion of her topics, gesturing animatedly with her free hand. The passion lit a flame in her eyes, and I could practically see the connections forming in her students' minds, inspiring new thoughts and perspectives.

"Before we continue on the topic, I'd appreciate if anyone of you could explain what is the 'System'?" she inquires the students before her kindly, as her blue eyes scans the classroom.

I continue to gaze at her blankly, still lost in my train of thought.

"Would student Lo like to answer this question?" The sudden question snapped me out of my daydream as I scrambled to gather my thoughts while slowly standing up from my seat.

My classmates all turned to stare at me expectantly, waiting for me to answer. some looked at me scornfully while others watched with amusement as though I was about to humiliate myself for not able to answer the question.

I couldn't understand why some people in my class seemed to dislike me for no apparent reason.

As I took a moment to collect my thoughts, vivid memories from that novel I read in my teenage years came flooding back. Some may wonder how I could recall information about a book I read in my teenage years, despite the passage of time. yet the details were crystal clear, as if the book had been imprinted on my mind.

'Hyperthymesia?' it was the only conclusion I can come upon after the numerous experience I encounter.

Shaking my head to clear my mind, I tried to focus on the present moment and the question posed to me. With a deep breath, I mustered the words to respond to her inquiry

"The 'System' is an omniscient power that came from the integration of mana into one's body."

"This phenomenon causes an individuals whole body to evolve as they are now able to use the power granted by the system called skills, and.."

I paused for a moment before ending my sentence, "That's all."

"Despite your answers are somewhat vague, you answered the question well." the professor named Maria commented with an smile while she nod with approval.

As I sat back down, I felt relieved that I had adequately answered her question, though my explanation had been brief. I had read the novel thoroughly, where the System was described in great depth and detail. There was so much more to the System than what I had mentioned in my answer.

The System is formally known as the Akashic Records. When mana integrates into one's body, it connects the individual's soul to the Akashic Records. With each growth in strength, the Akashic Records updates the System panel to track the individual's progress - this is how the Akashic Link functions.

But the Akashic Records is more than just a system. You can think of it as a gigantic book that controls the entire multiverse - a record of the past, present, and future. This book possesses power that transcends all common sense in this world. The Records and its Guardian were created by the very laws of the universe.

While that's how the novel ultimately explains the System, in the context of the story, this information is largely irrelevant since Leo didn't even become a demigod, much less a full god. In fact, the novel doesn't really show much about gods, guardians, or explore much of what could have been done better.

I couldn't understand why the novel would explain that the Akashic Records can record the past, present and future when that fact is irrelevant in the actual story.

Releasing a heavy sigh, I refocused my attention on Professor Maria's lecture.

"Now we'll move on to exploring mana and nature energy," she began.

I suppressed another sigh. 'Here we go again.'

I almost dozed off from boredom as Professor Maria explained mana and nature energy, a topic I was already quite familiar with. Her explanation dragged on, causing my attention to wane.

"Now finally the last lecture of the day, we'll talk about the nature elements," she continued.

However as Professor Maria mentioned nature elements, my drowsiness instantly faded. As I became fully alert and focused on the upcoming lecture.
