Chapter 121 - New Milestone
Randy mused for a bit after hearing about his sister's second ability from his mother and then spoke after a while.
"I see.. Taming beasts and monsters, huh? That's an interesting ability. If that was possible, then we could alleviate the damage done by monsters and beasts that abruptly appear through the sudden rifts in the residential areas."
And then he thought of something as realization dawned on him and he immediately asked: "Wait a minute, with this kind of ability.. isn't Lydia's ability considered a type of unique ability then?"
"It should be. After all, no one had awakened to this kind of ability despite the many years since the day of people awakening to different kinds of abilities. Even among the bizarre kinds of abilities, Lydia's ability should be considered quite special." Riley agreed and then said.
"That makes sense. But then, what is her class? If she has two abilities, then her class might also be unheard of, right? Or is she a mage like mom?" Randy then asked.
The reason why he asked this was because of his abilities and his unheard-of class. No, was it more appropriate to say that it was unknown instead? Since he could not make out the remaining words regarding his class.
Hearing his enthusiastic question, Riley shook her head and said: "No, she is not a mage like me. Well, it's not like the class one received during awakening would ultimately determine the path one takes. After all, my class was not the 'Ice Mage' class per se. It was a very strange and ambiguous class that said, 'Dominion Over Frost' or was it 'Frost Dominion'? Anyway, this class gave me the ability to have absolute control over ice."
"Nowadays, I don't even bother looking at it anymore. But I decided to become a mage since my energy compatibility was mostly mana. Your grandfather wanted me to become a cultivator since I appear to have some talent for it, but I declined it at the time because I wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps instead."
After saying this, Riley seemed to have recalled something as her expression changed momentarily before she sighed and continued: "In any case, your sister also has an ambiguous class that said, 'Mother of All Bestial Creatures' which sounded more like a title than a class. But I am assuming that it was the reason for her taming ability."
Randy was instantly surprised by what his mother said and immediately pondered the meaning and reason behind such strange and ambiguous classes which were unlike the popular ones that had been established in the current society.
Those classes that were popular because they were self-explanatory would be the basic classes like warrior, magician, Swordsman, Blade Master, Flame Mage, Ice Mage, Barrier Mage, and many others.
Although there were multiple instances where there were special prefixes next to the basic classes like 'Blood' next to Warrior like his father's class which was essentially a type of warrior class.
And then there was the magical warrior class which simply meant that the person with this class mostly uses enhancement-type spells to fight their opponents along with their well-trained body using mana.
The training with mana was a method that enables one to circulate mana through their meridians just like martial artists do with their qi to improve their constitution.
The process of training one's mana was complicated and even if one mastered the process. Because to attain enlightenment, one needed to go through arduous training, and it could sometimes be dangerous until one eventually attains their— Mana Aura.
The mana aura or aura that one's mana exude is the ability to have control over one's mana circulation and then utilizing this method to execute techniques or enhance their physical abilities. Thus the body would exude the aura of mana around their body due to the effects of natural enhancement.
Furthermore, with their ability to use enhancement-type magic spells to further improve their physical capabilities, Magical Warriors were held in high esteem and favored in the western district as knights of royal families and such.
Sometimes, they were even conferred noble statuses and given their very own territories just for reaching the mana aura realm.
With these kinds of benefits, one could tell that even those with basic classes could still attain greatness with their awakened abilities.
But for Randy and his family, that had unusual classes that could be interpreted directly or might even mean something else entirely if one thought too deeply about it.
At this point, Randy recalled what his mother said about her class, which was 'Frost Dominion'.
This class at first glance could mean that the one with this class had control over ice just like some evolved humans do when they awakened to ice abilities.
But according to his mother, she was not an evolved human, thus this class does not make sense in that regard.
That was because only someone who evolved should have an unusual and powerful ability like absolute control over ice.
And his mother, who was not an evolved human, should only have an ordinary ice ability as an innate ability.
In other words, something like Ice Mage or Ice Creator or something along those lines should be appropriate.
But instead, she had the prefix 'Frost' and then the subsequent word 'Dominion'. historical
This sounded almost like she would have authority over frost rather than control over ice.
And then his sister's newly awakened taming ability which also had a literal interpretation as the 'Mother' of all 'Evil creatures'. Since the word bestial could be interpreted as violent or corrupted creatures.
This could then lead to a bigger misunderstanding if someone with a different mindset were to interpret it like that.
However, based on what Randy could infer, all the class, 'Mother of All Bestial Creatures' most likely meant was that his sister could tame any, and all beastlike creatures that were most of the time violent by nature but not inherently evil.
Thinking about this for a while without understanding the reason behind these classes, Randy suddenly felt a headache and decided to stop thinking about these unnecessary things.
Although it appears that he may have been thinking for a long time, but he only took about a few seconds to think about this matter.
This was due to the increase in his Psi-Realm, thus an increase in his psionic energy or mental energy, which then also affected his way of thinking tremendously.
Right now, he could afford to think about things at the speed that he was not able to achieve before he broke through to the first realm of the Psi-Realm.
This was a new milestone that he discovered that could prove to be very useful during the comprehensive part of the university entrance examination.
But that does not matter right now as there were still some other things that he needed to take care of before the exam, and it might even prove helpful in the upcoming special training session.
