Chapter 164: The Divine Beast, Valkyrie

A young-looking elven man with a monocle in his left eyes entered the room. Although this elven man looked young, his age was already old in the perspective of the human race.

In the Holy Alliance, three races comprise its organization. Among the three races of the Holy Alliance, the race of the elves has the longest lifespan while the humans have the shortest. 

Members of the elven race live twice the lifetime of the human in this world. While the dwarves can live up to one and a half lifetimes of a human.

Despite the big difference between the lifespan of the races, It did not make the other races have more advantages in terms of seishin cultivation. After reaching the age of one hundred, the people from the other races' seishin cultivation would greatly be decreased and their cultivation speed would be greatly reduced.

It was the design of the creator of the Nidriege Welt continent to avoid the other races to dominate the others completely. All those seishin practitioners from the other races who exceed the age of one hundred would go retire as soon as they reached that age. They would be only useless on the battlefield if that what they did.

After the teacher of the Light seishin class entered the room, the elven teacher welcomed all the other students from the first grade to learn from him about seishin beasts with affinities to the light element. 

Before he started his lectures about seishin beasts with light attributes, he introduced himself first because there were students who just met him. As soon as the light element teacher noticed the other students who are not familiar to him, he knew that he had to do introduce himself for formality's sake so he did.

He said to them, "It's a pleasant morning, students. Since the lessons about seishin beasts were starting today, I'm sure that some of you are not my students in the light seishin class so I'm gonna introduce myself before I start this. My name is Haldir Le Knochem, the younger brother of the governor of the elvish territory, Tarsus."

This man standing before Kraftvoll and the others was one of the nobles that belonged to the Fhinnuisce Kingdom, which currently was the territory of the elven race. Something like this was a normal occurrence in the Verrater Academy because of its wide influence across the Holy Alliance.

If he had stayed in the territory of Tarsus in the Fhinnuisce Kingdom, he would just be someone under his older brother. Teacher Haldir decided to give up his nobility in the elvish country so he decided to teach when he was invited by the current headmaster of the academy. Even though he can live well through the rest of his lives, he did not want to live without any purpose.

Teacher Haldir started his discussion after he introduced himself to his students. He said to them, "Let's start our discussion about the seishin beasts. I'm sure some of you know that there is six seishin beast that tops the others. According to the known history of all races, these six divine beasts were the originators of all the elemental seishin cultivation."

This piqued the interest of the students of the 210th class. The existence of this majestic beast was a commonly known fact to all the people even those from the other side of the continent. Even a normal child in the Nidriege Welt continent knew their existence because parents would always use the name of these creatures to scare them.

That's why Kraftvoll and the other students of the 210th class knew of the existence of these mythical beasts. But the knowledge that they were the originators of the elemental seishin cultivation was only passed down from generation to generation of seishin practitioners so they were not familiar because they just started in this path.

Teacher Haldir continued his discussion without further ado. The students of the 210th class noticed it seemed like their light elemental teacher was in a hurry in his discussion but they decided to ignore it.

The elven teacher continued his discussion without any delay. He said very loudly, "There are six divine beasts. They are known as The Dragon, The Gryphon, The Devil, The Giant, The Phoenix, and The Valkyrie. Among the seishin beasts, all of these divine creatures are distinguished by using the article 'the' in their names because all of them were the originators of their seishin beast bloodlines."

Kraftvoll was fascinated by what he had learned just now. His interest in the matter was at its peak. As someone who wants to reach the top, Kraftvoll wanted to know as many information about the world he's about to enter as possible.

Now, all of their teachers were currently teaching their class about the seishin beasts at the peak of the Nidriege Continent. Those divine seishin beast were even older than those seishin practitioners who attained the level of the gods in the known history of all the races. They already existed right after the creator god created the world.

It was a piece of great knowledge to know so all of the students of the 210th class, including Kraftvoll, were very absorbed as they listened to their light elemental teacher. After introducing the originators of every element, Teacher Haldir decided to move toward the main focus of his class.

While Kraftvoll and his classmates were very absorbed in listening, Teacher Haldir continued his discussion. He stated, "In the light cultivation's history, The Valkyrie is known to be its originators. The ancestors of the humans believed that The Valkyrie bestowed the way of cultivation of the Light Element to them in the early formation of the continent."

After hearing the last sentence of their light elemental teacher suddenly made the eyes of the students of the 210th class very wide. They were shocked by what they had heard. After all, all they had been hearing about the mythical beasts were how strong they were.

Despite the reaction of his students to what he said, Teacher Haldir still decided to continue on what he was saying. He said, "It is unknown as to how the other races living in the continent obtained this but it is a known fact in the seishin practitioners' world that The Valkyrie is the originator of the light seishin cultivation."
