-Is this Razven Iterian related to the imperial family? -Karven asked in a low voice, since despite being enthusiastic, he was not a fool to offend the imperial family.
-According to historical records and current lineage, everything agrees; It is almost indisputable. -Evans said.
-Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot I was talking about your fiancee. -Karven joked.
"Healing magic, it's true, but it was also called sacred magic. It's as if they had forgotten or forbidden to talk about it"
Student Lunia sat down and Professor Wester spoke again.
-As you can see, the essay by student Lunia Arsac shows the impact that the kingdoms that lasted until today had with respect to the early period of the Crimorian Continent. Now, it is good to mention that although it had already completed its consolidation in the early period, it was in the intermediate period where the Solstirian kingdom became the religious power of the Continent. But that will be discussed later.
-But Razven Iterian wasn't one of the saints of the Solstirian kingdom? Why did he create his own kingdom? -Karven murmured.
Evans put his hand to his face, the whole class looked at them. But, Professor Wester just smiled and said:
-As you know, there will always be differences of opinions or political conflicts, because no matter what organization, kingdom, religion or empire we talk about, there will always be politics involved, and where there is politics there are interests and differences, in the end we can only conclude that there were differences of opinions or conflict of interests that led Razven Iterian to found his own kingdom.
- Wow, I think the professor saved us. -Crystal expressed somewhat relieved.
"After all, how could King Gisgan disappear? Unless he was betrayed or decided to go into hiding. He went into seclusion? He knew there was a rival he couldn't defeat, and he sought to strengthen himself, but he never reappeared. It's a pretty strange topic if we look at King Gisgan's combative nature."
Evans was quite interested in the subject since the disappearance of King Gisgan benefited the Solstirian kingdom in the long term, currently known as the Sacred Temple of the Sun.
"How strong is the Holy Temple? I will have the answers if I recover my memories"
-Evans! -Lizet touched Evans's forearm with the tips of her fingers, who reacted, coming out of his introspection.
-Student Evans. We would like to hear your exposition on the forms of magic used by the kingdoms in the early period of the continent. -Professor Wester said with a firm voice.
-Come on friend; You are the hope of the renegades. -Karven encouraged him.
-Luck. - Cristal told him.
-You will do well. -Lizet mentioned.
Evans just shook his head as he walked to the front of the room.
-It is a pleasure for me to be here, I will make the exhibition as interesting as possible. As the teacher already mentioned classes ago, the early stage of the continent was a stage in which stability was sought, because there was chaos. If it is obvious, there was chaos, that same chaos caused both laws, order and knowledge to be limited by an environment that required strength to survive.
Evans infused mana onto the board and two words and a symbol appeared that left the class perplexed:
Aura>Magic.
After showing those symbols Evans continued:
-It is not at all an insult to magic or magicians; It is the harsh reality, how being born in misery today will make your opportunities limited and will require greater, if not immense, effort to achieve a goal. That is exactly what happened in the period of chaos, the magician needs: time, knowledge and practice. In a chaotic period, how many magicians had such privileges?
Evans again poured mana on the board:
Spiritual magic>magic.
The class remained silent and Evans continued:
-As everyone knows, magicians are tireless seekers of knowledge to empower the position of our profession. That was the solution found by most of the minor kingdoms and organizations with independent territories. Wizards made pacts with like-minded spiritual beings and became sorcerers. But as you see, it was only a solution for those who were born with spiritual magic...
Some students seemed interested, but there were others who seemed to be forcing themselves to listen to the greatest blasphemy of all, as they felt that Evans was going to address a topic that generated much controversy on the continent, the difference between witches and sorcerers, a difference that did not matter to the inquisition when it was more active and imposed atrocious punishments.
-Evans, it is an excellent presentation, but I think that the topic you are going to discuss will be better addressed in the third year, when the teacher in charge of the magical dogmatism classes instructs them.
-As you wish, Professor Wester. -Evans said cordially and returned to his seat.
"Apparently not all teachers are so independent of the outside world"
Evans sat and listened to the talk of the next classmate who had just stood in front of the class.
-It's a shame, it seemed like an excellent exhibition. -Karven told him although he was not really very interested in history classes.
-Yes, Karven is right, later we can discuss the issue among ourselves. -Crystal added.
"I think we are definitely renegades; although I was testing the sensitivity of the class on certain topics; that makes me think that they have made sacred magic something taboo; it would be better for me to stay silent about that, it would have been problematic to draw too much attention from the Holy Temple, especially for a topic that they banned"
That day, Evans understood, after listening to many companions exalt the figure of the Solstirian kingdom, that the Sacred Temple of the Sun had acquired more power and relevance than he could imagine.
When class was over, Saint Rose walked solemnly toward Evans' group.
-Hello, may the Sun always illuminate you.
"Is it serious? This woman is unpleasant, why doesn't she provoke Asert who always looks at her with hidden hostility?"
-The Sun will always shine. -Evans responded to follow the etiquette as usual.
-The Sun will always shine. - Lizet and Cristal responded almost in unison.
Saint Rose looked with a false kind expression at Karven and Eriaz.
-We must be understanding in our hearts. There are people with different beliefs. -Evans expressed politely.
-You are absolutely right, I hope the sun protects you all. -Saint Rose said.
-If he came closer, he must want something, right? -Evans indicated.
-I wanted to know what your intentions were during the exhibition. -Said the holy Rose.
-I only want to obtain a grade worthy of class S. You know that this class is the same as a war, everyone will give their best at all times, if I was impertinent, it was not my intention. -Evans added with a calm attitude.
-I understand, I think I thought things too much. I will pray that the sun always illuminates our path. -Saint Rose said just before leaving towards a group of three students who were waiting for her.
-The sun will always shine. -he stated.
