The Devil WithInn 20 Edseria 4

"Like the fighter, the rank begins with the Starter rank, then Low rank, Intermediate rank, and High rank. But Magic users do not have any specialized fields so they proceed directly to Senior rank, then Veteran rank, then finally, Sage rank. Similar to the Fighters, there are 3 stages each rank: early, middle, peak."

"Just to let you know, I'm an Intermediate Priest in Middle stage." He puffed out his chest in pride before continuing.

"Low-leveled magic users can temporarily enhance things at a set time interval. Also, the higher the level, the longer the temporary enhancement. While those high-level ones from Senior rank and above can use permanent enhancements, but only on non-living things. Permanent enhancements on living things can only be done by a G.o.d. Which is called a divine blessing."

"No one has even done a permanent enhancement on someone before. Few have tried but they always expired at a certain time. The only Sage recorded in history tried once, but the longest enhancement he was able to do was a mere 5 years. And it held the record for the longest spell ever existed."

George held an expression of awe as he explained. His greatest dream was to be a Sage and to achieve that dream, he doesn't care how he does things at all!

Inna looked at the neat diagram he laid out. Then she looked at her body clad with different types of weapons.

"Is it possible to learn all three cla.s.ses as a Fighter? Or all three cla.s.ses as a Magic-user?"

"Yes. Although the learning process and strengthening is very slow, most adventurers learn two or all to avoid any unwanted situations. After all, some adventurers like to go solo rather than party up. But the problem with Fighters learning more than one cla.s.s is when they specialize. Most has to choose one cla.s.s and stick to its specialized field. It's because it's very rare for people to be able to specialize two cla.s.ses. It usually results to a clash when being trained. Also, specializing two or more makes the progress so slow, it will usually take you decades to reach the next stage and centuries to get the next rank. This is the same case with Magic-users. If you choose to learn all three, it will be too time consuming and the yield is too little that it's not worth the time and effort. So, I wouldn't really recommend sticking to all three whether you're a Fighter or a Magic-user."

Inna looked at George as he rolled up his sleeves to avoid getting dirt on it. And she remembered that back when she was in the water, George had a fighting stance with his stick. He also have a strangely lean muscled body which strikes her as odd if he was just a Priest.

"Can a Magic-user be a Fighter?" Inna blurted out as she stared at George's exposed biceps.

"Oh, naughty naughty." George winked. "Quit staring at these pieces of meat." He said while flexing.

Inna just rolled her eyes at that.

George gave a chuckle before replying. "Magic-users can become fighters too. But then again, it comes back to the main topic of focusing on one aspect to strengthen. It's very hard to strengthen both magic and combat skills without proper training and soon, to rank up further, you will have to choose which you prefer to strengthen more. Since the higher your rank, the harder and longer it gets to rank up. For me, I'm an Intermediate Shadow at early stage. But if I were to choose, I'd pick the Priest to strengthen. After all, magic is about talent. Not everyone can do Magic, but everyone can be a Fighter."

George said as he put down the stick and dusted his hands off. "Now, are we good? You understand everything right?"

Inna nodded.

"Good, because this knowledge is known by children as early as 5 years old. If you don't know that, people will just think you're incredibly stupid." George snickered.

"What age do they start training?" Inna was actually curious. If they knew this when they were 5, then when do they actually start to do it?

"They start training from age 5 and when they are 10 years old, they usually reach the Starter rank in early stage. But those who are more talented reaches a higher stage when they're 10 years old."

They start holding swords and reading books at 5 years old.....

Meanwhile, at 5 years old, I still wet my bed.
