Only Wisdom Awakened-Chapter 168: Something

"There is going to be a contest between all the Academies, and participating will be every awakened over sixteen and under nineteen."

"So we are talking about our first class…"

"That’s right, but there’s another problem:

While for them it’s just their first year, in other Academies at that age they are already three years in."

"What is this all about?"

Asked Hans.

He knew the dean was not stupid, and would’ve just refused the invitation if it wasn’t compulsory.

"It is a project officially held by the Association, we have no choice but to prepare accordingly."

’The association intervened?

It must be a serious matter.’

"Is it because of the Japanese Academy?"

Ava looked up at Hans, surprised to hear this question.

’I guess he isn’t a night market executive for nothing..’

She thought.

"It’s supposed to be top secret, but I’m sure you will be able to find out the reason whiteout me telling you, so I will just save you the hassle…

Even though publicly it’s a tournament held to encourage the students to improve and compare themselves to the others, that is far from the truth.

The real purpose of this tournament is to show the world how important academies are.

After the Japanese academy incident got out, many of the other academies received complaints, and some parents even wished for their kids to stop attending them.

When the previously untouchable figure of the Academies was finally pushed down, the reputation of all the other sites besides Japan’s also decreased.

That is the reason why this is going to be a show of power, in which academies can display what they have done for their students.

The reason why none of this is said publicly is because some people may find out actions as transforming these naive and inexperienced guys into powerful weapons."

"I see"

"And that’s why all the instructors have been forced to change their teaching plan.

The tournament will happen during next year’s spring, but from what I understood from that dwarf in NY you will be leaving at the end of the year."

She said, referring like that to the NY association Branch Leader.

"Yes, I will be leaving as soon as the year is over, a prolonged stay here is not included in my plan."

"I will ask you just one favor then.

Hans, whatever you can, please teach them something yours, not something they can learn from any mage above the fifth rank, but something that could make them geniuses among others of their age.

I’m not asking you to take them all as disciples obviously, but please, pass by the relationship of a normal teacher and his students, because if our guys were to go the contest as they are right now, not only would their morale lower even more, slowing down their growth, but they would also risk serious injuries.

Not to talk about possible traumas.

Think about it, how would a seventeen-year-old feel if he got beaten shamefully in front of millions of spectators?

Hans, imagining the scene of his student losing in front of so many people, felt bad for them, he had spent a whole six months of his life with them after all, and even if not as much as he did for Aiden, he still cared for them.

"Sigh…"

"Thank you"

Said the dean.

"I haven’t even replied yet"

Exclaimed Hans.

"But you were about to agree … weren’t you?"

"This… I mean… yes, whatever"

Hans got out of the dean’s office and decided to go for a walk while thinking about a solution to his problem.

’Something to teach them? Where do I even find it?

My only specialties lie within my ability to control many elements and the ability to absorb knowledge and transform it into wisdom.

None of them can be passed down, and even If I could, I wouldn’t.

The reason is the same as why I haven’t taught them the complete version of the meditation skill, even if I do trust my students with it, if something similar were to get out the consequences would be terrible.

It would be like giving every mage the possibility to advance quicker, and that would not only apply to those who planned to use their powers for good.

He needed something that would allow his students to stand toe to toe with the other Academies without dropping a knowledge bomb onto the magic world.

’Do I have something like that?….

Nothing comes to my mind, I think it might be better to ask Caelan later…"

As Hans began walking back towards his apartment, appeared in front of him someone he almost didn’t recognize.

" I heard you returned, I almost can’t believe it.

To think that the first time I would meet you after you gave me that task I would have accomplished it…

You didn’t lie,

I really got it…

The {unique} class:

{barrier grandmaster}"

It was Henriksson Bergstrom, the disciple of Lars Jensen.

After his master had attacked the academy and had lost, he had been told by Hans that he had the potential to awaken the unique class previously belonging to his master.

There was one condition to It tough, he had to create a barrier better than any other he knew about.

Since he had learned his Master’s, that indirectly meant he had to surpass what Lars Jensen had created.

’Just three and a half months?

That’s all it took him to create something better than the barrier known as ’perfect’?

It’s not just talent…

I might have… picked up a genius.’

’See… I want to see it

Hans immediately utilized his {mystic insight} to analyze the spell created by the man in front of him.

{Perpetual rainbow barrier

Current tier: 2

Description: a barrier made to improve an already incredible creation, this barrier defies all common sense, and cannot be cast by anyone other than its creator.

Effect:

Not only nature’s mana, this barrier also absorbs the shock and energy caused by the attacks directed at it, transforming them into mana to sustain its duration.

It is effectively indestructible.

The only way to destroy this barrier is by overcharging it with mana, causing the structure to collapse.}

This was a completely busted ability, the only thing stopping it from being a definitive barrier was a higher tier.

"Show it to me"

Said Hans.

And taking it as a challenge, the man proudly created a semispheric barrier around himself.

"You know, when I started my research, I could tell it would’ve been difficult.

The deeper I went into analyzing master’s barrier, the more I realized it would’ve been impossible for me to create a better one.

I went as low as almost giving up, but right after that, I understood I had been taking it the wrong way from the very start.

I didn’t need to improve my master’s barrier, I had to create something different.

And that’s what I did…

After two months of work, I came up with this masterpiece:

A barrier that is completely opposite to today’s standards.

Instead of breaking when there isn’t any more mana, this barrier breaks when it cannot hold any more mana.

Now, for example, this barrier is impossible to destroy-"

Hans had already read the explanation, so he decided to test it with his own hands instead of hearing something he knew.

"Crack"

After a loud shattering sound, the barrier crumbled to pieces on the ground, leaving the man in front of him speechless.

"Are you sure this is it? It doesn’t seem that much"

Said Hans.

Of course, he obviously knew it wasn’t like that, but he wanted to test whether or not the person in front of him was aware of what they had just made.

"This… it’s just because the barrier tier is low, even right now, it functions perfectly

Your hit was absorbed and transformed into mana, and it was then spread throughout the whole barrier, unfortunately, your punch produced too much mana and caused it to collapse.

However, as soon as I raise its tier, and increase the mana capacity, this won’t work anymore"

’Good… he seems convinced’

"Alright, if you say so"

Hans continued acting nonchalantly, pissing him off a bit.

"What are you waiting for?

Go on, upgrade it, I shall test it myself once it reaches the appropriate level."

"This… hey!

Could you tell me something?"

"What is it?"

Said Hans turning around.

"Why do you need me?

You knew the condition to change to this class, anyone loyal to you could’ve done it, and maybe they would’ve made it even faster than me"

"Why you ask?

Because I saw it, I saw the potential you have, and I know, your barrier may reach a level that can block them."

"Them?"

"I refer to them like that, haven’t you always wondered about it?

About who was behind those question marks"

[??? Has eyed your planet]

’Hans Richter…

This man right in front of me….

He knows.

He knows something no one else does.’
