22 Chapter 21 - Gaining Information of the Supernatural Society (1/2)
Alice became very cheerful after Iris accepted her offer, with her even answering many of Iris's questions about the 'Supernatural' Society.
And her answers has delightfully made Iris much less ignorant about the World, due to her previous reality being smashed ever since the System, Iris honestly had no clue about the True Powers who rule over Earth, and this irritated her to no end.
Why?
Because Iris could end up randomly offending some powerful organization by complete accident, not to mention it reveals to her on what she can expect to encounter within the future, therefore having some information on this topic is hugely beneficial towards her.
Moreover, what she gathered from Alice it seems that there are actually many different races in the Earth which hide within plain sight, these races include Vampires, Demons, Werewolves, and even Fae.
There are many more different races, and she was genuinely surprised how many of these 'Fictional' beings were real.
But, of course, there are many sanctions and laws to maintain order within Earth, as it seemed humans were still the real power despite the obvious advantages the other races possess.
However, most humans on Earth do not contain the potential in being able to become either a Mage or Warrior, which Iris found out depends on one factor, your genes.
For, example within Earth at the moment, not everyone can be a top athlete in the Olympics regardless of how much more effort they put into their training, as some people are simply naturally more talented than others.
So, this principle is the same for both Mages and Warriors, and not everyone will be born with the potential to become one, and the higher the talent you have within either path, the more likely you are to progress into the later stages.
Of course, there were many times more Warriors than compared to Mages, making Mages a rare commodity.
Therefore, as a result of a Mage being incredibly rare has made them become highly haughty and arrogant people, typically individuals from Mages family looks down on all humans, including the individual's who are Warriors, with them thinking they are the most 'Perfect' form of a human.
Thus, in doing so, the Mages families typically have the highest influence within the world, though there are a few incredibly powerful warriors who contain great power also, making them highly respected individuals with even the Mages not being arrogant towards them.
Mages families also tend to do arranged marriages between them, due to the increasing likelihood of an offspring with magician potential being born between two mages has made many of the powerful mages family only wed into each others families, and they typically disdained warriors and other humans, therefore the families wouldn't permit a Mage in having a long-lasting relationship with someone unless they were a Mage, not to mention a Mage would believe they were lowering themselves if they, for instance, marry or commit to a regular human or 'Warrior'
Explaining exactly why Alice is being forced into an arranged marriage, due to her being born a mage, but one with average potential, she ended up being used for her great beauty in order to be wed as a chest piece for her parents in gaining a connection to a powerful mage's family.
Not to mention, the man she is being married to himself, as even though he is known for being a 'Playboy' which has slept with many women, that doesn't mean he is a man without talent and is actually a very talented mage with also himself being a very Handsome man.
Therefore, this has made many see him as a 'Catch' despite the flaw in him sleeping with many women, and he is still desired by countless women.
In fact one of the main reasons why Alice caught his eye was of her disdain of him. Thus he ended up asking her parents for her hand in marriage, with them instantly accepting not even bothering to ask for her feelings in the matter.
Causing Alice to be highly dissatisfied which such an arrangement, but this just made the man desire her more, wanting to conquer her as soon as possible.
But, Alice has managed to keep her virginity from being taken under the pretence of it being on the date of the marriage, making her still hopeful for a saviour to prevent herself from being forced into a loveless marriage with her even giving her virginity to a man she despises, which is one of the reasons why she is so desperate towards Iris.
As a result, of there being not many who awaken as a Mage outside of a Mages family, in addition to having such high talent as well, has made Iris, the ideal candidate within Alice's mind.
However, not every Mage is arrogant and there a few kind individuals who don't look down on everyone, but they are incredibly rare.
But, why does the Society know nothing about these 'Mages' and 'Warriors', in addition to the supernaturals lurking around the world?
Well, as most of the world will never have the potential in becoming either a 'Warrior' or 'Mage', it was decided long ago that it would be better to let them remain in ignorance, rather than create chaos by allowing them to know that monsters lurk within the shadows that can kill them within an instant.
