…The empty last page of the book, had left Chris astounded, questions echoing through his head, questions which he desperately needed an answer, he flipped the pages back and forth and nothing changed, he uprooted the book from the ambry and returned it to the shelf through the aid of the erected nanobots. He was not satisfied and he kept rummaging through the shelf, other books on skills and techniques popped up, but nothing related to the book he had just read, the questions flowing through his mind made him uneasy and he left the bibliotheca and went to the Scorpio academy...
… As he stepped into the academy, he was met by a slim figured women with a curved v shape upper body and a plump lower body she was dark skinned with dark purple eyes and dark purple curly long hair, her incisors were sharper than her canines and her nails were quite long, she was the instructor of the Scorpio academy and her voice was as light as the mixture between a buzzing butterfly and a screeching ladybug, she was clothed in a darkish purple instructors attire signaling she was the head of the Scorpio academy...
"Hey Zodiacians, I am Instructor Ria of the Scorpio academy, I am pleased with the number of matriculants this year... she gave a light chuckle and a brief smirk, with the large number of all of you this year, I am really going to enjoy myself and that means i will drill everyone of you to the core... she stuck out her tongue as she caressed the upper part of our lip... Well lets begin". she uttered.
"I will begin with a simple description of Scorpio, Scorpio is a unique sign and as every sign specializes in a particular category, Scorpio is basically poison, and what is poison, poison is something that kills, the poison manifests itself as mist... she gave a grin as her body began dissipating, her aura swirling around her as poisonous mist erupted at her single point, a mist aura so grotesque, most of the Zodiacians began to expectorate, the mist kept swirling and her energy subsided at that point... Aura will always aid your skill, especially when it is something like mist. When manifesting Scorpios mist, there is every possibility that one can get envenomated and this can take place slowly if one does not properly manifest the mist, and with this one can reach the brink of death", Instructor Ria said as she kept speaking
"Mist, a vey tick form of air, one thicker than fog, has both the qualities of solid which allows it to reverberate ones particles from the inside out, liquid which allows for the dilution of the poison into ones body giving them a sharp and stunted death and finally Gas which simply strangles them internally and corrode their body externally. All three properties of mist can be incorporated in various ways... she sneers as her body's aura begins condensing once again, her aura pulsates round the entire academy as she depicts the first form of mist, her body began to evanesce and her particles became denser, as well as the energy density around them, the swirling mist around her was so dense, it felt like it could simmer a blade in half and the energy kept growing denser, she snapped her fingers indicating her transition to the liquid state, he particles became larger and more dense, her aura vigor became more resilient, the energy became more potent and the new swirling aura showed she could use the mist and drown any that stands in her path. she gave the last snap indicating a large dynamism of power, her energy fluttered round and all the particles became loosely packed, while she maintained an energy density so corroding that the oomph of the mist kept increasing, Splutters of energy simmered round every end of the academy and her aura spoke corrosion at that point in time, she gave a playful grin and everything ceased at a single point... I hope all of you could grasp the significance and method of the three states which I just portrayed, one will have to dive deeper and immerse themselves in Scorpio's energy if they are to make use of such energy". Instructor Ria articulated.
"This now brings us to an entirely new category, one that should be completely discussed by every entity in this academy, how does one immerse themselves in their own aura and how do they resonate with it, Aura the foundation lifeline of every entity, but simply as a foundation, it only represents life, aura can aver life, energy, pulse and lastly for this category strength, Aura has many fundamental and basic steps which entails it create various forms out of itself... She smiled, as her darkish purple aura seeped from the top of her index finger, he aura moved in a ribbon like path and twisted itself round the other, the aura kept twisting itself and its density became larger, the more it intertwined with her energy, the larger and more in-depth the density, the aura began to spiral and it became hard, a hard ingot of aura had begun its release of a high pulsed density, she raised her hand up as the aura occurred at the tip of her right index finger, the aura spluttered and the falling particles had maintained their position around her palm, she rotated the flowing articles and all the energy around it, she had created a purple sophomore of energy one which vanished at her last smile... Everything about aura simply depend on your energy and thought, whatever you envision can be brought to pass with proper control of your aura, skills are just a manipulation of aura, abilities are just a definite form of aura, techniques are just proper placements of aura and the style which one decides to embody their aura depends on you and you alone". Instructor Ria said.
"Various embodiments of aura are unique in their various ways and most times they are envisioned by a single entity, the identifications of Kamons come from proper redefining, reconstruction, recreation and placements of various aura structures. A Kamon is built with the aid of a life attribute, simply say life attributes are specific resonances one has with an element, now for everyone of you present to understand the deep in depth scope of Scorpio, you should understand its attribute, attributes are simply elements, elements which one resonates with, the resonance one has with a particular element is said to be their ascribe". Instructor Ria atoned.
… Nanobots flew round Instructor Ria and at her back, they erected a slate at her back, the nanobots moved at a compounding speed and erected a slate so large, every Zodiacian in the academy was astounded, the slate began displaying various life attributes and Instructor Ria picked up from were she left off...
"There exist thousand of life attributes and one which people are yet to discover, attributes which one is waiting to uncover and attributes which have not even been analyzed further, the life attributes displayed before you all are the major life attributes which we have viewed over the years... The slate's nanobots began convolving at a single point and brought out the large image of the first life attribute, the image was darkish red at the bottom, with the top slightly lighter than the bottom, the life attribute was flame.. Flame a special life attribute which has been around for years, it allows the user recreate their structures using flame and the largest number of users come from the Veritox clan... The nanobots began restructuring the slate and the next life attribute popped up, the next attribute had a symbol of an ice berg, a darkish reflective light blue embodiment of ice was exemplified on the screen... Ice, a special life attribute recorder to only occur in the Frost clan, it has various abilities of which no one outside the clan effectively has effectively understood the attribute, it embodies itself in their aura, which always feels like the tip of an ice berg, sharp, pointed and blood cold...
…The nanobots began their restructuring once again and brought out the attribute mist, it was a cloud with various cracks along the shaft, the cloud looking like a combination of the three states of matter and it had a light ring erected diagonally around it...
"The mist life attribute, it is the center of Scorpios embodiment and it has various form of aura pulsation and dense fluxes of aura, the main clan which embodies this attribute would be the curvature clan, most of the progenies are not resonated with the mist attribute and most of them not articulated with the mist attribute would be articulated with any form of the three states of matter". Instructor Ria uttered a sigh of relief as she kept on speaking.
…The nanobots began restructuring themselves and this allowed them to bring a new life attribute to the slate, this attribute was lightning, it took the form of a spherical arc with cracks at the edges and blades at the ends elongated out resembling the structure of a spiral blades, little cracks emanated from the side illustrated lightning marks...
"Lightning attribute, one of the most unique and unpredictable attributes, its main existence only occurs within the Kaminari clan, the lightning attribute is one of the fastest attributes and its depicts the personality of its users as sharp, spiky and vigorous, it is an attribute with various skills, techniques, Kamons and even Myojins which have not yet been fully discovered". Instructor Ria paused and turned to the slate waiting for the next attribute to be prognosticated.
…The nanobots restructured the slate once again, an octagon with chains spiked all around surrounded the octagon, with the chains surrounding the internal expanse, the chains stemmed from one point at the exterior of the pentagon, the projection from that point looked like the tentacles of an octopus, as the chains made for a good tentacles for the octagon...
"Aethel links, special spiked living chains with instinctive actions, they take the orders of their user, they resonate deeply with the body parts of their user, they are the attribute of only those belonging to the Drack clan, the aethel links obey their users and have the ability to increase their size and aura density, and the spikes present along the chains are able to reciprocate the skills of the aethel links itself". instructor Ria proceeded
…The nanobots began their reconstruction on the slate once again,, this time an icon resembling a cuboid appeared with a spherical ring enshrouding it, the icon symbolized the life attribute of barrier, the attribute entails the creations of barriers, which could practically be called impenetrable, it contains pores on the order of the user, which allows them to create wave beams using their aura energies and densities, the barrier can be remodeled to form anything and this attribute specifically belongs only to the Shirudo clan, a clan proficient in the art of encumbrance, only those with the blood of the Shirudo clan can use this attribute...
"The Shirudo clan, a clan which has completely monopolized the attribute of encumbrance, simply put they specialize in barrier productions, those barriers of which are efficient in various aspects, it serves as a shied and it specializes in all ranges of attacks, for long range, they make use of coherent emissions, for mid range they make use of short style monochromatic beams, and for close range they make use of a compressed form of the barrier, they compress it and reform it into various shapes which aids them as weapons in close range battles". Instructor Ria took a brief pause.
…The nanobots restructured the slate once again and this time a diamond appeared, the diamond had all of its crystalline side erect and was viewed from a dorsal point of view, the diamond had three cracks which linked with one another to form various other diamond structures, this was the c crystal life attribute which belongs to the Kessho clan.
"The crystal attribute is lighter than air and harder than air, it can be crafted according to the views and perspective of the user, it has a unique fade to it of which allows it poke and scavenge every particle around it, it collates together at a single point and has a very large density mass". Instructor Ria snapped and the nanobots dispelled from the slate.
"Various attributes exists like lithic mass, water, zephyr, acoustic waves, pyroclast and many other attributes, if one wants to dive deep and understand the true value of an attribute, they must understand resonance, resonance is the syncing of ones pulse and life energy with any element or ability, one unique thing about resonance is that a life attribute can be created from scratch with it and when an attribute is created from scratch no other clan or anyone outside the blood line can posses it". Instructor Ria took a brief pause to catch her breath as she continued to speak.
"A life attribute created from scratch can manifest in various ways like the barriers of the Shirudo clan, and the aethel links of the Drack clan, the attribute would only run within their bloodline as they were able to reconstruct and redesign it from scratch, the design of an attribute simply and usually begins with an element, one places their aura and forms a bond with the element or one discovers an element by forcefully aligning their element with a particular structure of a sign. There are three methods, the first of which is called Tanoshii Hibiki, one finds or discovers an element, the element has not been bound, and now a user resonates their energy and life pulse along with their aura until they mange to form a bond with the element, the second method is Tsuyoi Hibiki, this type of resonance occurs with elements with strong vigor, the element has been discovered but has not been bound, for one to bound themselves to such an element, they would need their aura, life energy, pulse and finally their blood, once they mange to create a bond with the element they can create a life attribute after it, but in cases like this there can be multiple adopters to the attribute, attributes like zephyr is an example". Instructor Ria took a brief pause as she immediately went back to her explanations.
"The rarest and final method, one which has a probability with an equality to zero, a method so hard it causes an end repercussion, it is called Hibiki no Sōshi, this is the rarest form of resonance and it occurs in two stages, stage one called Zokusei, this is the first part which usually occurs with ones body, mind, aura, blood and energy pulses, the element is drafted and created from scratch with a solid base and structure through the aid of the signs the adopter has, the emblems of the zodiac are used as a channel for their creation, this is the only part most adopters are able to achieve and this is where the aethel links and barrier attribute fall, the second and the most unpredictable, simply put nearest to impossible, the second stage Tanjō, creation of the element, here only three things are needed, the human embodiment-spirit, mind, body, soul and consciousness-, aura and finally blood. The Tanjō entails using the human embodiment as a sacrifice to restructure and recreate a new element, the spirit as the medium for the base of the new element, the mind as the structure for the element and its ability to evaluate, Body to determine the part of the body which the embodiment of the element will reside. soul and consciousness are the most vital parts to the element creation, the soul serves as thee core and the vessel, while consciousness allows for its infinite growth and evolution. the aura serves as an eternal binding link to the adopter and the blood allows for transfer only amongst the bloodline of the adopter, BUT there is a condition, it can only be carried out between two people of the same clan, as one will serve as the sacrifice and the other will be embodied into the creation of the element in the other. no one knows how the ritual is carried out, the only information I have now through painstaking research is a simple rumor that the MALCHIFICHA EYES of the Nox clan is a Tanjō, no one knows anything about those eyes, all one knows is that the Nox clan, the second only to the aristocrat clan has eradicated all traces of information on the eyes, another rumor holds that there is a weapon a Hojisha{holder} has performed Tanjō with, his human embodiment, aura and blood formed the weapon, a weapon so powerful it has left traces all over the existence of the world, one which if anyone possesses, they may have the power to dispel the aristocrat clan". Instructor Ria took a deep sigh of relief after the long exhausting explanation as she took in more breaths .
…A Zodiacian with a curly top orange hairstyle, a bit muscular at the sides and slim on the inner parts, he had dark brown eyes and had a slim stature, he was curious and placed his hand out for a question, and Instructor Ria allowed him the privilege to ask a question, and he asked" Hola Mam, you skipped some details, what the hell are the repercussions of a Tanjō", He asked in a vulgarly disgusting tune.
"It is simple, if one succeeds, it simply ends up with the death of the other person, but in cases where the other person is not strong enough to handle the element they both perish and since no one is present to absorb the element, it eventually withers away, there is also the case of which one of them is not consummate enough and the ritual kills them off instantly, there is also a case where the ritual works perfectly but eventually can become a venom which begins to erode or eradicate the clan slowly. Finally the last case which I know off is that of the quality being extremely high, that no one can inherit it and the element dies off with its adopter, it is an almost impossible ritual which no one ventures into and when they do, almost no one comes out". Instructor Ria answered the curly toped student as he took his plinth.
…It had occurred to Chris on that spot, after the colloquium, the key he had been looking for to understand what the book in the bibliotheca said and what the main structure pointed out, it had all be hinted to him on that single spot....
