Obscene World Chapter 61

"Essence creates the difference. That's why I told you about it first." The devil—my sister's master—lectured. "People who cannot sense it are unawakened, and those who can are awakened.

Once a person is awakened, he or she trains so they can control Essence. That's why I am training you."

'Oh!'

"Well, I also enjoy tortur—I mean training others."

"..."

"Cough—so, the harder you train, the faster you can control Essence, and we can move on to other parts of tortu—I mean training."

'Just say it. Why even try doing this?' I sighed at her actions. Just looking at her face once was enough to tell me that she was doing it because she was enjoying this.

But her words also caused a thought to emerge.

'Did Sis also go through this?'

"No, Aurelia didn't." The devil spoke. "When I first met Aurelia here."

'Here? In the forest?'

"Yes, she had wandered here because a certain someone said he hated her." She said, glancing at me.

'What?'

I didn't know this. I knew that the day she and Eden fought was the day she told everyone that she had awakened as a prodigy. And that was also the day she told Eden that she had 6 elements to please him, or maybe make him admire her.

However, it didn't work. Instead, he started to feel jealous of her.

But...

'Why did she come here? In the forest? Is it because of—'

Before I could fall into a spiral of thoughts, a voice cut through.

"Anyway, so when I met her, I was surprised because she had 6 elements. But I didn't know that your sister was a pack of surprises. Because in just one day, she learned how to control Essence." My sister's master said, in a soft voice and with a pleased smile. "Your sister is the most insanely talented—no, the word 'talented' is not enough to describe her."

I didn't say anything because my mind was still on Aurelia coming into the forest. But once more, a voice cut through my thoughts.

"Mistakes happen, but correcting those mistakes is what we should do." The person in front of me said it gently.

"Hm," I hummed, glancing at the woman before me, who now sported a soft smile.

"Ok, so how about I tell you what I wanted? Because it's about time you go home."

"Yes," I nodded, and she started her lecture with a smile.

"So, once a person learns how to control Essence, he or she chooses their next step. What are they going to be or become?

Mages, who can use spells and spell circles. Warriors who use Essence to strengthen their bodies. Invokers who use elemental manipulation or arcanists who use spell circles and runes."

Finished speaking, she glanced at me.

"In case you think, why not choose all?. Well, you can't because you have to focus on different aspects in different cases. And in reality, people do not choose their classes. They are born with it. Mages can't strengthen their bodies; they can't use elements and runes. That's why they are mages. The same is the case for other classes. Yeah, a person can have more than one class; it just depends on his or her constitution." She spoke before adding. "What do you think your sister is?"

I thought for a few moments before answering. My sis could use elements, and she used swords. So the correct answer should be, "Warrior and Invoker?"

"No, your sister is an anomaly. She can use spells and spell circles, like a mage. Can strengthen her body like a warrior. Can use elemental manipulation, like an invoker, and can also use runes like an arcanist."

'What?!'

"Heh," She smirked at my surprised reaction. "Yes, there is another class, called 'Anomaly.' They can use the powers of every class, and your sis is one of them. Don't go around telling this about her, because, just like her 6 elements, this is also a secret. I only told you because I knew she told you that she has 6 elements. And I am pretty sure she will do this too."

"Ok," I nodded in understanding. But a question rose in my mind.

"What class am I?" I mumbled to myself. I mean, I have elements, so Invoker has already been added. But was that going to be it? I will be pretty disappointed if that were the case.

"Found out yourself." My sister's master said, with a smirk, bringing me out of thought. "Let's move to the next point. After choosing a class, the said person trains and advances to the next PHASE."

Finished speaking, she stopped for a few moments before once more parting her lips.

"A person starts from PHASE 8, and he or she can advance to his or her said potential, like you being the PHASE [0]—DEMIGOD. Every PHASE except PHASE[0] has three subranks: Lesser, Master, and Expert.

Then comes [Orders], starting from 1 to 6, with the same subranks—Lesser, Master, and Expert—that people with Element follow. It states their elemental masteries in their respective elements. But you can advance your Elemental Mastery according to your PHASE. At PHASE [8], Order (1), [PHASE] (6), Order (2), [PHASE] (4), Order (3), [PHASE] (3), Order (4), [PHASE] (1), Order (5), [PHASE] (0), Order (6)."

I nodded, listening to her while trying to memorize everything. And being an awakener now, I didn't had much problem with the memorization.

After this, our lesson ended, and I was once more teleported into the air and was once more saved by my sis.

'THAT FUC-'

Before I could wholeheartedly swear at her, my sis asked me in a soft voice. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I replied, standing, while my legs felt like jelly. "Thank you."

"Hm."

Seeing my sister's face, I was reminded of what her master told me.

How could a person still love and care for another person after getting so much hate? I didn't know, because if that was me, I for sure would have never glanced at him or her. But Aurelia did, even after getting so much hate from her brother. She continued to love him, no matter what.

While I was thinking about that, my sis closed the door, glanced at me, and spoke up, but before she could complete her words, I cut in.

"I will prepare the bat—"

"I love you, Sis."

Hearing me, her poker face flustered.

"Huh?!"

"I love you," I repeated my words with a smile. I didn't know about love, but I am certain about one thing. I like this girl before me.

"I love you too," She replied with a soft smile—that made my heart beat faster—while reeling in her flustered expression.
