Chapter 20 - Jack Again (1/2)
The auditorium was filled with students attempting to practice this technique that Simon had just showed them. Many of them ended up forming curves all over their cubes, making them seem more like putty rather than a real shape. Some weren't even able to condense their VP into a shape, and others were able to get it done relatively better on their first tries. By whatever it is, all of the students found themselves learning something that could change their perspectives on theory and practice.
The technique that Simon had demonstrated had managed to induce significant growth in most of the students, causing them to skyrocket in their VP quantities and quantities. By the end of the exercise, everyone but one student was able to create a satisfactory cube. As for that one student, Simon decided to take a look.
”Student, face me and tell me your name.” Simon spoke to the slouching student.
”F.u.c.k off. Like you can tell me what to do.” It's Jack.
Simon hadn't seen Jack in a couple of days, and it turned out that he is the only person in the class that Simon could actually recognise from the novel, yet he was so obscure.
Clenching his fist, Simon pouted. ”Jack, why haven't you completed he exercise?”
”Cuz I don't want to.” Jack responded in a mocking voice.
”Okay, fine.” Simon gave a faint smile as he took out a cellphone from his desk. While it was a school provided cellphone, he still had to resort to use it. He didn't want to be exposed by using his own phone after all.
”Admissions Office-”
”WAIT! I will do the exercise... please don't expel me.” Jack shouted.
”Good... good.”
While Jack began to try out the exercise, Simon had already begun his lecture on fundamental visionary laws.
The laws covered were of little value to him at the moment, since he had already moved past most of these laws upon reaching Master rank, but to the students, these laws were groundbreaking and extraordinary in profoundness. Even Jack, who was condensing shapes, tried his best to listen in on what Simon was saying.
”Law 1 can be better interpreted to include the usage of not just electrical power, but natural power and weight power. Training with weight and absorbing other powers can increase your VP. When paired with visionary art such as paintings, training becomes much more efficient and quick. A better way to train would be to use the exercise that I have just taught you all, but condense the scene of the visionary art that you are observing. Doing so will train your VP quality and quality, as well as your control.”
Each one of Simon's words were frightening to hear, every single one was so powerful that students began to record the lecture out of fear of missing things when writing. The whole auditorium became quiet as all eyes were on Simon.
”That's the end of the laws explanation, so let's move on to the 3 visionary branches. The branches are the Warrior Branch, the Mage Branch, and the Ranger Branch. Each of these branches split off into more branches, for example, I am a Ghost of the Ranger Branch. Ghosts specialise in not just stealth, but deadly visionary attacks that deal crippling damage using daggers. This may just sound like any other assassin type branch, but to be a Ghost, one must have an incredible level of durability and regenerative capabilities.”
Simon already entered those capabilities into the identity, giving him the ghost qualification as the best option. As such, Peter White could now be consider to have a very high standing as a visionary.
