11 Orientation : Soul 2

[???'s POV]

"The woman on the stage, Tyr, exudes the calm and overwhelming aura of the sea, as if to match with her azure hair. She calls a few other people up to the stage, introducing a few more teachers, all with distinct auras coming from them, but none of their auras can withstand the overwhelming pressure of the sea. Well... I say none, but one of their aura's are struggling against the Tyr woman's aura," the gentle woman observed the "aura's" of the people on stage.

[Margaret Bastia (Nickname : Margarita) Lv. 69]

"Indeed, the person who's aura was contending with Tyr's was conceived due to one too many margaritas. It's in her character description, but I've decided I shouldn't peek too much at person's character description. Not after what happened with the late Hero of this world, a Hero being an adventurer who has reached Hero-Class strength without the help of a sponsor, and has vowed to protect their home world... that damned lolicon. Of course he'd receive ample judgement after I discovered such a thing, after all, I've reached God-Class. His strongest attack as a Hero-Class would barely reach an ordinary punch from a God-Class," the gentle woman stated matter-of-factly, as if we- as if I was supposed to know what the words "God-Class" meant.

"Ah, I'm sorry... this must be very confusing, as you've only just awakened a little over a year ago, and haven't been able to go far from that pitiful boy, Ruto. I'm sorry, the boy still hasn't noticed your existence even after I gave him information on the soul... the experience of his first summons must be interfering. Here, I'll provide you with the information on souls directly, maybe it'll awaken the knowledge I gave on souls to Ruto too," the woman formed a small orb on her finger, which eventually floated into what I think is my "forehead."

"#%%^#@$@," strange symbols flashed into my vision, which is barely above the vision of Ruto's, sending a blinding stinging sensation into my "eyes."

And then...

[Opening Prompt...]

=======================

[Soul + Status Menu Info]

(General Definition)

The consolidation of a person's knowledge, experiences, skills, and abilities, given an ethereal form. The class of their soul commonly acts as the persons title, like King or Queen (see soul-class).

(General Info)

Inside the body, the soul cannot function without the brain, establishing the connection called the <Mind>.

Outside of the body, the soul can still be connected to the brain, thus being controlled by <Mind>, but that is only if the person had enough experience, and if their body was in perfect condition.

Otherwise, the soul would only leave the body in small portions during the use of skills, or if the person died, but the latter often results in the soul dispersing.

The <Mind>, the connection between the brain and the soul, is the only place personalities reside. This does not hold true for King-Class, and souls with mutated progressions.

(Soul-Class)

System-Class :

It is thought that the system, which aids and limits development, has a soul. One theory suggests that someone once reached something above God-Class, with the desires to aid all life, but maintain their absolute strength, the existence known as the system.

God-Class :

Peoples/Beings at this class have become very specialized. They have pioneered their own paths to dominance, destruction, and/or creation, usually forfeiting control to their Soul Guide.

Emperor/Apostle/Imp-Class :

People/Beings with souls at this class possess strength and/or knowledge that ranges from the ability to threaten planets, to threatening galaxies. Their Soul Guide has most likely affected their personality to the extreme.

High King/Hero/Trickster-Class :

People/Beings with souls at this class possess strength and/or knowledge that ranges from the ability to threaten continents, to threatening entire planets. Their Soul Guide's personality usually starts to noticeably affect their main personality.

King/Legend/Venerable-Class :

People/Beings with souls at this class possess strength and/or knowledge that ranges from the ability to destroy cities, to toppling entire countries. Most nobles would now claim the title of King, Adventurer's of Legend, and Scholar's of Venerable. They now have access to their soul guide, which can slightly alter their personality.

Noble/Adventurer/Scholar-Class :

People/Beings with souls at this class have a skewed balance, and have abilities that range from destroying a boulder to a town. Noble's have a balanced, but inexperienced, soul. Adventurer's have an unbalanced, but experienced, soul. A Scholar's experience and balance varies greatly.

Peasant-Class :

Everyday people, who don't seek out strength or knowledge, possess soul's at this class. They possess very weak magical and physical prowess due to their lack of observation and/or training.

Morphing-Class :

The Morphing-Class, sometimes called a pseudo Enlightened-State, holds no definite shape or strength. Due to its loose form, it reaches out for anything it can get, making the person an extremely fast learner. The natural Morphing-Class lasts about 9 to 12 years in humans/demi-humans, spanning their childhood. An artificial recreation of the Morphing-Class, or an enlightenment, has no estimated time-limit, as not many people undergo it more than once in their lifetime.

(Soul Guide's)

A separate personality, only developed by King-Class and above. Occasionally, soul's with mutant progression, which are soul's that have strange shapes and growth, develop soul guides without reaching King-Class. Soul Guides are sometimes thought to be the person's desires and beliefs, boiled down to their purest aspects, as the moment a person develops one, they experience minor personality changes.

=======================

"Oh... So, I'd be his soul guide," I eventually reached that conclusion after going over the information on the soul.

[Ruto's POV]

"Would anyone like to be first-," Tyr was asking all of us something when I suddenly remembered everything about my encounter with my "sponsor", and the information she gave me on the soul.

"I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING!!!" I screamed out.

All the eyes in the auditorium looked back at me, well, of course they were. I'm the idiot who just yelled out in the middle of Tyr's question.

'Fuck, she isn't mad is she,' I prayed that Tyr wouldn't be upset as I slowly looked towards her on the stage.

"Ah, I'll take it you want to try first? Alright, come on up kid," Tyr's tone sounded a bit annoyed, butI avoided a disaster... I hope, because I fail to remember what I was about to do.

"Pssst, Erin! What does she want me to do? I kinda spaced out..." I whispered to Erin as I shuffled around to make it seem like I was getting ready to go up.

"Hm? O-oh, uh, you are just going up their to see your status," Erin replied to my question.

'Oh... that weird information bomb had pretty good timing, because I know what that is! It was oddly tucked in with all the stuff about the soul. Convenient! I must have a Soul Guide... I've been getting excited very easily, and it has been a bit difficult to act serious,' I continued to think over the information as I walked up to the stage.

The closer I got to Tyr, and the teacher's standing off to the side, the tighter my chest felt. It kind of felt like my head was under water.

'What do I do now?' I thought, looking up to the woman, Tyr, while tilting my head.

After noticing me look up at her without doing anything, just standing around, she instructed me, "Just touch that modified Magic Crystal. Oh, er, the floating glowy thing."

"Oh! What does it do?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah, you seem like quite the curious kid, so uh, let me think of something simple... Okay, this one lets you see things like your name, but others usually help you use magic!" Tyr explained to me, but it was obvious her excitement was forced.
