21 Great Knight & New Classes (2/2)

With the newfound drive, she made a breakthrough and entered the sixth realm of Mana Cultivation.

The night passed in a blur of cultivation and before Nora knew it, it was time for her first class. Unlike the previous day, she had a different schedule compared to yesterday. Following the class list instruction, she went to the Outer Courtyard for Physical Conditioning. Unlike the other classes Nora had, Physical Conditioning was taught by a Great Knight named Galahad. A rather large figure who wore an imposingly large silver armour. His facial features both bold and sharp only accentuated his golden hair.

To Nora's surprise, everyone in the class was handed a small bland manual with the words, 'Allosian Beginner Knight Technique'. Although she had been surprised, it quickly died down as she read over the technique. Although it was, in fact, an outer-cultivation technique, it was far from a decent manual.

According to Great Knight Galahad, the original founding families created this technique from observing some of the native creatures and their innate body tempering techniques. Nora couldn't help but scoff. What creatures, mice, rabbits? This technique was trash in her eyes. It barely qualified as a mid-mortal ranked technique. The fact that Great Knight Galahad seemed proud of the history of the technique, it left a bad taste in Nora's mouth.

With the vast majority of the class having not started any form of cultivation, Nora breezed through the class as the ”conditioning” didn't even cause her to break a sweat.

The only real boon from the class was Nora finally had an understanding of what a 'Great Knight' was. Using Great Knight Galahad as a base for Nora's estimation she inferred that a 'Great Knight' must've been within the bounds of the Core Formation Realm.

With the wrapping up of the class, Nora headed to Language Studies. This, another class coincidentally without Percy, proved rather interesting. Following the similar format which she'd now seen several times, she received a textbook for the class and from then on, class rapidly progressed. The teacher for Language Studies was far older than any other teacher she'd seen. His aged skin significantly drooped and all his movement carried a frail appearance. Even through his age, he taught with a passion which countered his age. The class quickly dove into the fundamentals of the 'Common Tongue' which was widely spoken within the Allosian Empire.

Nora became engrossed in the textbook which she had been provided and read ahead. Madly flipping through page after page, ravaging the new information. Nora only noticing the end of class once the other students around her began to leave the classroom.

Before leaving, Nora returned the textbook. As she left the classroom she spoted Percy. He was patiently waiting for Nora in the hall.
