96: Dungeons and Bloodline

Dungeons and Bloodline

An image of a gate appeared on the screen behind Gilson.

"The first Dungeon appearance is assumed to have happened thousands of years ago. In the records, it was said that humans have never used mana like we do now," Gilson said.

"Mana Core Formation was found too late, and the first dungeon breakout exterminated 90% of humanity at that time. Although we are not sure if all those records are true, we have assumed that as the truth," he continued.

His words were quite intriguing as students from a common background didn't know much about the old records.

"But, Hunters were born, and humans learned about their dormant powers. Although we are still improving till now," Gilson added.

"Moving on to the dungeons, there are three types of Dungeons: Blue, Yellow, and Red," Gilson raised three fingers.

"Each Dungeon is said to have its own unique environment. Although it is said that Dungeons are the epitome of space element, we can't really assume such theories when those Spatial mages can't even live long enough," Gilson threw a remark at Alyssa.

"But Professors, if Dungeons keep appearing, wouldn't the world become full of countless Dungeons one day?" a student asked.

"Good question," Gilson replied.

"Well, even I don't know the answer. But what we do know is that Dungeons only appear in highly dense mana regions. Not like the artificial ones we create using runes and mana stones but the natural ones," he continued.

"But this theory is only valid for Blue Gates. Except for blue gates, both Yellow gates and Red gates are considered one-time dungeons. The equilibrium has been maintained throughout human history, but Yellow Gates and Red Gates are the anomaly that breaks it," Gilson explained.

Gilson went on to explain some other things regarding the dungeons and how each of those gates was different from each other.

"Coming to Bloodline," Gilson's words perked many ears as they were excited about this part.

"Bloodline is a special ability, or you could say innate talent that is passed by blood. In today's world, only elite families and people related to them are said to carry high-ranked Bloodlines. Although very few people actually have bloodline abilities, only some of them carry high-ranked bloodline abilities," he continued.

"Only our Principal has the artifact that can rank the bloodline ability of a person, and it was one of the artifacts that are part of the foundation of World Academy," Gilson said proudly.

Asher opened his eyes as the talk of the artifact came.

'Scripture of Thoth,' he thought in his mind.

"Asher Greville has won the duel," the referee announced. Suddenly, a voice came that surprised everyone.

"I heard that you are not attending the Sword class. Do you mind if my friend here has a friendly duel with you?" The identity of this student shocked all the first-year students.

"Student Leonard, he is a Third-Year Student. You cannot-" The referee was speaking, but he was stopped by Professor Erwin.

"Why not allow it? It's just a friendly duel, isn't it?" Erwin said with a smirk on his face.
