Chapter 88: Zephyr’s Progress
’Well this is awkward’. Zephyr thought that after the fight the students would form their own little group, it was common for like minded people to gather together. But no.
Everyone did their own thing, ever single person minded their own business, acting as if they were strangers. They had been living together for at least a year now for goodness sake.
He discovered that they weren’t the only people in the black maw dorm, all together they were eighteen but still everyone minded their business.
Turning in his bed he could see that Oliver buried his head his his pillow pretending to be asleep, but judging from the erratic breathing of his heart Zephyr could tell he was still awake.
To Zephyr pleasent surprise he realized that after the use of the eye, all his senses where heightened. And also, his Aether had thicken even more then before pressing on the edge of grade 3 despite being at grade 1, he also discovered that the problem the entire world was facing was now ineffective to him.
For example look at these students, there had been stuck at grade 3 despite being a grade 1 when they started the academy Last year. It was because to advance to the next grade
To cross the boundary from Zeta to Elpison, one must maintain the phenomenon known as the Aether Convergence.
The individual must synchronize his Neutral Aether and Affinity Aether, they must pulse in perfect unison, creating a Harmonic Aetherwave.
This wave must be sustained for a continuous period during combat or under intense situation, signaling to the user’s soul and the world that that the individual is ready to ascend.
So when the world acknowledges that fact, it forces a unique Aether— the world’s life blood, into the soul of the individual and effectively rank then up, but this act of forcing itself leaves scar in the soul of the individual. And soul injuries takes time to heal.
And by the time it heals the individual would be ready to ascend again, but the individual would have to wait an awful amount of time to ascend or risk soul fracture.
