Chapter 74 - Classes , Cultivation , and old Hegemons
It turned out that actions truly influenced the available Class choices . After some hesitation a slender demoness in charge of education started explaining the mechanics behind classes , quickly finding her confidence after entering lecturing mode .
The Ruthless Heavens allow you to start progressing on the path of cultivation starting at the age of 16 for both humans and demons , but it varies between species . Many forces are able to bring up the levels of their young to 25 in a day with various treasures and Nexus Crystals , so preparation before they officially enter the path of cultivation is necessary . An academy prepares the young generation , and help them attain the Class they wish for . Or at least have the most aptitude for , - the schoolmistress started to explain .
If they want to become a Sword Master they will have to arduously train with their sword , and physically train their natural attributes to the peak . If they wish to become a magic user it’s a bit more complicated , but essentially they have to study the elements and learn all they can about cosmic energy . Craftsman Classes are best gained by apprenticing themselves to someone , - she said .
It was as Zac had assumed . His classes were largely based on his actions , and it was possible to influence the options the System gave . But it seemed unlikely that too good a class could be attained from just swinging around a sword within the safety of the school .
What rarity of the classes do the students get this way? -
It depends on the grade of the school . Normally only common classes can be attained at an academy , with one or two lucky students out of a thousand getting an uncommon one . Out in the multi-verse there are far greater academies who have curriculums that can guarantee uncommon classes , and even give a decent chance for a rare one . - She said as her eyes glistened , obviously yearning to visit such a place .
Besides , if the youth accomplish great things after becoming 16 years old , instead of rushing to level 25 , they can improve their chances to get a better class . -
Still , being stuck with a common class doesn’t seem too great , no? Won’t it negatively influence their future? -
Getting common classes is by far the most common starting choice in C-graded to E-graded worlds . Classes like Warrior or Swordman have a multitude of well-documented advancements paths . For example it is well known that a Warrior can advance to an E-Graded Uncommon Champion . It can also advance to E-Graded Uncommon Captain , then D-Graded Uncommon General . - She explained , getting more and more animated as she started looking at Zac less as an axe-wielding lunatic , and more like a student .
They won’t get as many attribute points or as good skills as someone who gets a Rare or even Epic class in the start . But the requirements for each advancement is well documented , giving cultivators a clear and unimpeded path of progression . The multi-verse has an endless amount of classes , and only a small part of them is public knowledge . Many promising youths have had their path of progression cut short since they got an unknown rare class , and wasn’t able to progress it . -
Zac found all of this very illuminating , and decided to have this teacher accompany him into the mines to keep his education going while he tried to get his pathways repaired .
If the multi-verse contains endless classes , why did so many of your kind seem to have the same class? - Zac probed , his memories slightly clashing with the teacher’s explanation of the class system . For example , there had generally been three types of mages ; earth , lightning , and fire . But no demon mage seemed to use wind , ice , gravity or any other types .
The demoness slightly hesitated and looked at Ogras for instructions . He shrugged and continued the explanation himself .
It’s called heritage . - He said . - The progression paths are public knowledge , but the details are fiercely guarded secrets . Those classes that Alyn mentioned are public knowledge , but the exact method to advance past E-grade is not . Clan Azh’Rezak has bought guides that explain the progression to E-grade Uncommon for over a dozen classes , but only had two clear paths to reach D-rank . -
Buying a full progression path from F to D with all required attributes , Dao-requirements , and hidden requirements is costly enough to set back a D-ranked force quite a bit . So most only have one or two , and they are the foundation of the clan . Clan Azh’Rezak has the progression path of Lightning Warrior , which evolves into Tempest Warrior , and finally Stormblade . It’s a mix of lightning magic and bladed weapons . Rydel followed this path for example , and only the main branch of our clan is allowed to progress this class path , - the demon continued , and Zac immediately remembered the three demons he had killed whose skills contained the black dreadful lightning .
