Chapter 266: Treatment: Part 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Sheng could feel the faint envy and jealously from the side glances the apprentices were throwing at him .

Even when these emotions were concealed, he could still perceive them .

“Continue, aside from the new students, all of you need to finish two antidotes by five . Those who fail to do so will be fined ten thousand, and three failures will get you the boot!”

Auldmandiller turned over and roared with a stern voice at the apprentices .

“Do you hear me!” He raised his voice .

“Yes, sir!” the group of apprentices quickly replied . It seemed like they were being drilled thoroughly on this .

Aside from Mylissa who was not used to it, the rest were already used to lowering their heads and work .

Auldmandiller then turned over and said warmly to Lin Sheng .

“Let's go, Lin Sheng . We'll first have breakfast then I'll commence with the first of your initiation cla.s.ses . ”

“Thank you, sir . ” Lin Sheng nodded .

Standing before the group of apprentices, he now knew what it was like to be on a level with special privileges, how it was like to be treated as a genius…

Compared with Mylissa who had come together within on equal standing, there was now a ma.s.sive gulf between them, as though they were in two different worlds .

Auldmandillar gave the apprentices another fierce glance before taking Lin Sheng for breakfast .

The menu was crispy maple syrup pancakes and ironfowl eggroll with orange juice and mashed potato with beef liver and tomatoes .

The ironfowl eggroll was not something Lin Sheng had eaten before . According to the books, the ironfowl was a large bird and their eggs were cooked using peanut oil .

Lin Sheng wolfed down three in one go and felt that his body was all warmed up, seemingly overdoing it .

Yet Auldmandiller kept offering him to eat more, and the gentle care in his eyes surpa.s.sed even his own father .

After breakfast, Auldmandiller brought Lin Sheng alone into a small cla.s.sroom and got him to sit on an independent set of tables and chairs . On it were a stack of brand new study materials, and by the books were all sorts of stationery and an empty notebook .

A moment later, four people entered the cla.s.sroom, and two of them were Mylissa and the tall lady with a mole on her nose .

The two moved quickly as they fearfully looked for a seat at the edge of the room .

The two other persons were panting boys, their looks were una.s.suming, but caution was apparent in their eyes .

After everyone had gotten to their seats, Auldmandiller stood calmly on the lectern as he said to everyone below .

“Alright, we will commence our first cla.s.s . This will be about the basic type and properties of dark powers .

“During my lecture, if you have any questions, I hope to not be interrupted . You may keep the questions until I've finished a section . Ask questions only when I indicate that you can start asking . Am I clear?!”

His voice was calm, yet there was a stern warning laced within it .

“Understood!” everyone answered at the same time, Lin Sheng included .

“Of course, that excludes Lin Sheng . You can interrupt me and ask questions at any time . ”

His tone literally s.h.i.+fted from the cold winters of Siberia to the warm breeze of Hawaii, and the sudden s.h.i.+ft had all of the other students gnas.h.i.+ng their teeth .

“Thank you, sir . ” Lin Sheng smiled in reply .

“Alright, let's start then . ” Auldmandiller whipped out his teaching cane and pointed at the air in front of him .

*Humm…*

A cl.u.s.ter of green orbs appeared in the air and floated about .

“This is what you call dark powers,” he said as he pointed at the orbs .

“All of us know that dark powers originate from the soul, the spiritual powers from the malevolent side . And because of its nature, it has powerful corruptive and destructive powers, hence we are able to use it as a weapon to protect ourselves .

“Of course, there are powers from the benevolent side as well, but those kinds of powers cannot protect us, so we'll leave it for the time being . ”

When it comes to lecturing, Auldmandiller did have the air of a professor .

“The history of dark powers, I'll be pa.s.sing on that . You can go through the books if you are interested . It's in the study materials .

“What I want to talk about are the properties and usage . Properties first!”

He gently tapped one of the dark power orbs, and the orb immediately split into a green color crystal prism and a slightly fainter green orb .

“There are three types of dark power properties . Corruption, Violence and Phantasm . ”

“Corruption, Violence and Phantasm?” Lin Sheng had some inkling . He had, after all, fought against quite a number of Darksiders now, and the moment he heard the categorizations, he immediately had some ideas .

“Every type of dark power will have all these three properties, but their weightage will be different, hence the differentiation .

“Your study materials have also recorded these three categories . So what I'm going to focus on, is their difference,” Auldmandiller continued .

“The first type is Corruption . These Darksiders are the most numerous . The dark powers that they awaken are mainly to corrupt objects or minds . This kind of Darksider would start to have nightmares every day, normally a continuous sort of dream or an endless dream state .

“After their dark powers are awakened, the first thing that they need to corrupt is themselves .

“Without proper guidance, these Darksiders, unless they managed to defeat their fears, they would quickly devolve into all sorts of monstrosities and are hunted down .

“The next type is Violence . These Darksiders are average in numbers . The powers that they awaken mainly stimulate their muscles to create a stronger physical body . And here, at least 90% are the second type of Darksiders .

“The dark powers of this type could either increase strength, speed, self-recovery, but the side effect is that their temper is short and would go berserk easily .

“The third type, Phantasm . This type of dark power is mainly to create illusions . You'll probably run into a bunch of people called the Audial-mesmers, their specialty is phantasmic dark powers .

“This type of dark powers have all kinds of style and patterns, but when it comes to combat, they are either terrifyingly powerful or terrifyingly impotent . It's very easy to veer off the edge with that . We'll delve into the details when we have the chance . ”

Auldmandiller swept aside the green orbs and kept only the green crystal .

“Next is use . Normally, upon awakening their powers, they'll simply use it crudely to improve their powers, either on the surface of their bodies or within their muscles .

“But only a few know that if one were to modulate it into weapons, items or even living beings, the potency and usability of dark powers will be greatly widened . ”

He pointed at the floating crystal, and the crystal soon shuddered . It twisted and turned into a small, intricate cup . Not long after, the cup changed again, and two seconds later, it became a four-winged dragonfly .

The dragonfly then flew about, letting out a buzz as it sped across the cla.s.sroom .

“All dark powers have these three properties, Corruption, Violence and Phantasm . And everyone will have different inclinations and specialties, so you need to find which area you are good at, and choose your path from there .

“Amplication, modulation, and short-term activation are the three basic usages of dark powers, and is the content that I'll be teaching you next . ”

Lin Sheng sat still as he listened on intently . To think that such a crude and simple green light had all sorts of different properties to it, and to have so many different usages .

What got him interested was Auldmandiller's talk about the general state of the Darkside .

Based on his demarcations, there were three types of people in the Darkside .

The first referred to the powerful Darksiders trained by the military . They possessed both a strong will and body . While their average power was the highest, their number was the lowest .

The second type were those from the civilian universities led by the Three Hidden Realms . The ability of this group was not consistent but their strongest ones were a match for the first .

The third consisted of the wanderers who did not belong to any organization . They were the most numerous in numbers and the most dangerous . The monsters, disasters, and horrifying tales that popped up from time to time were usually their handiwork .

Most of them would have no idea that they had awakened their dark powers until their minds were corrupted and they had turned into monsters .
