What In This World! Oh... Wait A Minute. It's Another World.

Chapter 17 - 16: Magic School: Blood Ties

When we reach the bottom of the stairs, we realize that the entrance to the changing rooms is below the stairs, or to be more precise, at the bottom of the stairs in between the two sets of stairs, there is one for males and one for females as per normal, however, there is a third door also labeled "Private, One student at a time with exception to special cases."

"Well, that was easy. I'm guessing that this 'Private' room is for nobles and/or those who are either neither, or both genders, if such as those who are neither exist that is." (Dawson)

"That seems like a safe assumption, and yes, there are some anthos that are neither and some that are both genders, also sometimes humans are born with both or neither genitalia." (Ariko)

"Alright, well, let us see what of the arias below we are able to enter since no-one else is here at present, let's have Ariko lead the way since she is the most practiced of us all." (Dawson)

Said as she grabs my arm and leans her head on me, "Okay, that sounds good." (Carmen)

A smile emerges on my face due to this development. I also notice Ariko and Harrold smiling. Harrold's smile, however, shows longing as well. I assume that the longing is him missing his wife Honey, so I place my free hand on his shoulder and give him a meaningful look.

"Alright, I'll lead the way, please follow me." (Ariko)

After that, we enter the doors on the right. Doing so we step on the blue tile.

Upon entry, "I was right, So I wonder if any of us will even be able to go into the red section." (Ariko)

"That is something I would like to know as well... well let's have the four of us continue on to the green square." (Dawson)

We all walk onto the green square without issue, then only I cannot step onto the yellow, while the other three can.

"You three continue and see if you can step onto the red square, I'd like to know the difference in power levels if it is that easy." (Dawson)

When They try to enter the red tile, only Carmen is able to.

"WHAT!!! I mean I know you are royalty, but to be able to go where I cannot due to a power level shield, I am astounded!" (Ariko)

We hear footsteps above and look up.

"What are you doing here?" then looking at Carmen, "And just how powerful are you?" (Woman)

"We came in where you are now on a self-paced tour, then we saw that no-one was in this entire room, so we decided to see how high of level arias we were able to access." (Dawson)

"Please come up here, so we don't have to continue shouting to be heard." (Woman)

We do as asked, leaving the gym, going up the stairs, then entering the gym through the doors we had originally entered it through.

"Now, who are you four?" (Woman)

"Where are my manners, I am Prince Dawson Sen, this is my fiancé Carmen Shawl, And our personal guards, Ariko and Harrold." (Dawson)

When I spoke each of their names, they bowed or curtsied accordingly. When the woman heard my name, her eyes widened.

"Prince Dawson? I had not been informed that the king's son would be starting here." (Woman)

"May I know your name?" (Dawson)

"My apologies, I am Oda Ikin, the physical education Instructor for the capital's magic school. Now, Miss Carmen was it, I would like to know just how powerful you are? It seems like you for some reason can enter the most restricted grounds in this school, so please tell me, do you know your ranks and affinities?" (Oda)

"I do know that my affinities are Fire, Water, and Light. However, I do not know my power levels, this is because I have only done two spells using my magic, and both were with the direct instruction of others." (Carmen)

"Well, I would like to test you, imagine all of your bodies magic is pooling in front of you, it is all three elements you have, are just sitting there in one pool, you wish to condense that pool, focus hard to make it into a ball the size of one pill." (Oda)

We see three spheres created, one of light, one of fire, and one of water, we see what looks like more and more of these three elements are created, but the size of the sphere, currently about the size of a basketball, does not get any smaller. Then after about 20 minutes of this happening, the spheres stop taking in new magic, and then start shrinking. After about another 10 minutes, the spheres are about the size of pills. That's when Carmen opens her eyes and grabs the three spheres from the air.

"Well done Carmen, you have successfully created three cores in one go, now the amount of magic that these cores contain will show how powerful you really are. I actually have a Void magic that can use these to determine such with ease. Can you please hand me your Light Core?" (Oda)

Carmen did as asked.

"Thank you. I am one of the towers above all, I shall see now who is here, what power is this." (Oda)

After that incantation, Oda opened her hand. The Light Core slowly grew back to the size of the basketball, then it disappeared altogether. After about 3 minutes, a light started to form in the shape of letters. The letters said "Light Rank of Simple, Light Power level of 19000".

"Mrs. Ikin, what is this power level?" (Dawson)

"Power level is what these shields use to determine if one is strong enough to enter their areas. Our red high-level shield keeps all those with power level under 1000 out... Normal power level is between 1-150, the only exception is normally those who have some sort of special lineage or who have achieved God Rank, God rank tend to be from 175-1500, and those with special blood tend to be from 80-1250, so having a power level of 19000 is beyond my wildest dreams... I have seen our crystal ball shatter due to God Rank, and since it is unaffected by power level, only by rank, I understand why we did not know this until now." (Oda)

"With your explanation..." (Ariko)

"That would mean..." (Harrold)

"That she is more than 19* as powerful as all of us combined?" (Dawson)

"Yes, I am afraid even if you include me into that equation, it would still turn out with what you said." (Oda)

"So, what of her other cores?" (Dawson)

Oda did the same as she did with the first core with the remaining two. The results were "Fire Rank of Simple, Fire Power level of 1000" and "Water Rank of Simple, Water Power level of 1000".

"So her other two levels are normal for one with royal blood?" (Dawson)

"She would not count as royal blood in this world, she would, however, count as anointed blood. Anybody who travels from another world has anointed blood." (Oda)

"So why is her light magic so strong?" (Dawson)

"Carmen, How many spells have you cast in each element?" (Oda)

"Does creating these orbs count as casting a spell?" (Carmen)

"No." (Oda)

"Then I have cast a grand total of two spells, both in light." (Carmen)

"So you gain 9000 levels per spell you cast is my assumption, but as to why that is the case, I don't know... Maybe a blood blessing?" (Oda)

"What is a blood blessing?" (Harrold)

"A blood blessing is something that transmigrators sometimes have, as well as royalty. It will give them special abilities that will boost their performance in some way and has a chance to be passed on to their children." (Oda)

"Does this 'Blood Blessing' have a test?" (Carmen)

"Yes, but I don't have the element for it, it is a water spell." (Oda)

"Well, you saw my stats for water, perhaps I could do it, that is if you feel confident in instructing me in how to do it?" (Carmen)

"Okay, create a puddle of water under the three of us." (Oda)

Carmen did that, then followed Oda's other instructions step by step.

"Next, try to turn that into steam... Using your fire attribute is allowed, but not necessary. After you do that, surround us with that steam." She waited for the steam to surround all of us then continued, "Okay, now repeat after me. I am one with my blood, and so are they, show us now, who is our blood, and what is our right?" (Oda)

"I am one with my blood, and so are they, show us now, who is our blood, and what is our right?" (Carmen)

After Carmen said that, we saw the steam turn into more of a mist, then it suddenly disappeared... or to say it better, it got s.u.c.k.e.d into our noses by some unforeseen force. Then about three minutes later, all of us got a nosebleed.

"This is normal, just let it bleed, it'll stop on its own." (Oda)

We all did as asked. The blood dripped on the floor and became words and numbers based on person. The next few lines are the words written in blood in front of each of us.

Oda: Your only blood tie is inactive, it will grant anyone with an active form of it double their length of life. Chance of passing on the active form of this blood tie 10%. Chance of passing on the inactive form of this blood tie 44%. Chance of not passing this blood tie on 46%.

Harrold: You have no blood tie.

Ariko: You have an active blood tie allowing you to use of all the elements. Chance of passing this blood tie on in an active form 30%. Chance of passing this blood tie on in an inactive form 60%. Chance of not passing on this blood tie 10%.

Dawson: You have an active blood tie granting you a magical evolutionary path for non-affinity magic... If you complete this path, you will become a True God. Chance of passing this blood tie on in an active form 100% if the child has no affinity, 0% if they have an affinity. Chance of passing this blood tie on in an inactive form 0% if they have no affinity, 100% if they have an affinity. Chance of not passing on this blood tie 0%. Do you wish to learn more? (Step on your answer.) Yes~No

Carmen: You have an active blood tie giving you a 1000 starting power level in every element you have and non-elemental, and giving you a 9000 power level boost every time you cast a spell (You receive this boost in the (non)element right after you finish replenishing your magic). Chance of passing on an active form of this blood tie 2%. Chance of passing on an inactive form of this blood tie 1%. Chance of not passing on this blood tie 97%.

After all that was written, the blood stopped flowing.

"Mrs. Ikin, do you see what mine says? I want to click yes, but I wonder if that is safe?" (Dawson)

"I'm not sure, but I know a way to make it safe... Carmen, are you willing to learn another, more useful, water spell?" (Oda)

"Okay?" (Carmen)

"Alright, place your hands on him, say the words 'Blood Duplication' and imagine his blood amount returning to and staying normal." (Oda)

Carmen did exactly as asked.

"Keep channeling your magic until he stops bleeding this next time... Okay, Prince Dawson, feel free to choose yes." (Oda)

I stepped on 'Yes'. After I did such, blood once again started flowing from my nose... after a little while it stopped forming a lot more words on the floor.
