Chapter 27 Adept Classes

Saturday had arrived once again which meant it was time to teach another class of Psynergy. There was no getting out of this. Isaac would teach the class how to use summons. Though that wasn't going to be the main focus. Felix had approached him saying he had something that Isaac could use for his class.

Everyone was gathered with in their respective groups based on their elements. As per usual, Hanneman and Seteth were there as well as Kraden and even Kyle.

Ivan was watching from the side, while (W) Felix was up front next to Isaac. He was going to be helping him with this one. He also had a box with him.

"So, the first mission is now behind us, and I am glad to see you all made it back safe." Isaac said as class got started. "But today, we will do something different. I will now teach you the most powerful ability an Adept has."

"The ability to summon, right?" Claude asked and Isaac nodded

"Summon?" Shamir asked. This was the first she heard of it.

"I didn't teach it before because I was unsure if you were all ready for it, but with you guys starting to find Djinni, and the events of my last mission with the Golden Deer, I figured it was time to learn it. Felix will help me demonstrate." Isaac said as he and (W) Felix grabbed some training swords and faced each other.

"In order to summon, you need your Djinn to be in Standby mode. When you have the correct number of Djinn on standby mode, you can initiate the summon by calling out the name of the summon you are about to use." Isaac said turning to Felix. "Would you do the honors?" Felix nodded.

"Echo!" (W) Felix shouted as he attacked Isaac with Echo's power. Isaac blocked the attack but then (W) Felix raised his sword.

"SUMMON VENUS!" (W) Felix shouted

The silhouette of a Venus Djinn appeared above Isaac as a pure blast of Venus Psynergy erupted underneath him blasting him. Isaac was sent flying back.

"Professor, are you okay?" Flayn asked worried

"I'm fine Flayn." Isaac grunted as he got back up.

"That looked like it packed quite a punch." Shamir commented

"You should see the one they used before. It was huge." Claude said

"Which we will not be showing since it's too destructive." Isaac said. "But ether way, that is a summon. The one Felix just did is a basic summon that only requires one Djinn."

"Can it be used by any element or just Venus?" Caspar asked

"Any element. There is a Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury summon as well." Isaac said.

"Mind if I try Professor?" Dimitri asked

"I suppose it can't hurt, but I must warn you of the after effects of using a summon." Isaac said

"After effects?" (F) Felix asked

"There are two, and they are big ones. The first is that the Djinn you use go into a state called rest mode." Isaac said as he pointed to Echo, that was a small yellow ball that hovered around (W) Felix. "When they are in this mode, they cannot provide any support for you as they will be recovering their energy. Like standby mode, but you can't choose to put it on set mode. They will return back to normal in a matter of time, and thankfully immediately be on set when they do. But until then, you will be without them."

"And the second?" Dedue asked

"They can cause quite an amount of stress on the body. How much is based on the level of summon you use. The basic that Felix showed shouldn't be all that bad, but stronger summons that require more Djinn can be exhausting. Strenuous even if you are not careful. As a result, it is wise to save them for a last resort." Isaac said

"Though that being said, you can use others Djinn to summon." (W) Felix said

"Right. If Ivan used his Djinn, I can summon Jupiter myself." Isaac said

"Very well. I shall try." Dimitri said as he set Pewter to standby. Isaac set up three targets for the three house leaders to practice.

"Summon Venus!" Dimitri shouted replicating what (W) Felix did and summoned the power of Venus before him.

Edelgard and Claude did the same with their respective Djinn.

"Summon Jupiter!" Claude said. The silhouette of a Jupiter Djinn appeared in front of Claude and blasted the target with wind.

"Summon Mars!" Edelgard declared as the silhouette of a Mars Djinn appeared above the target and caused an explosion of Mars energy.

"Teach wasn't kidding about the after affects." Claude panted catching his breath.

"Agreed." Dimitri said panting

"Are you all right your highness?" Dedue asked concerned

"I'm all right Dedue. I just need to catch my breath." Dimitri assured

"Try not to fall over Boar." (F) Felix scoffed

Edelgard? Are you okay?" Caspar asked concerned

"I'm fine Caspar." Edelgard gasped catching her breath.

"You look worse than the other two." Caspar said

"Shall I take you to Manuela?" Hanneman asked

"No. I just put too much energy into it. I just need to catch my breath." Edelgard assured

"If you say so, but don't push yourself." Isaac said concerned

"Thankfully, the rest of the class won't consist of combat." (W) Felix said as he grabbed the box.

"What about you Professor? Don't you want to practice?" Dimitri asked

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt." Byleth said as she got up. She set her djinn as Isaac put up a final target.

"Summon Mercury!" Byleth declared

The silhouette of a Mercury Djinn appeared in front of the target and fired blasts of water at the target destroying it.

Byleth didn't look all that exhausted

"Wow professor. You're pretty tough." Lysithea commented

"Thank you. Though I did have some practice before we arrived here at the Monestary with the Venus summon thanks to Flint" Byleth said

"Well then, with summons taken care of, Felix has something for you." Isaac said as he stood aside for (W) Felix to take over.

"Now then. I assume Isaac taught you all how Djinn can unlock new powers for an Adept, but there is another way to add to that. In this box are three items that I acquired in my journey. These three items can change your class into something unique." (W) Felix said as he opened the box and took out the first item. A Mysterious card.

"This item is called…a Mysterious card. Name aside, this card will turn you into the Pierrot class. This class focuses on speed and offers mostly fire and wind Psynergy.

(W) Felix then took the next item out, which was a rope. "This is called the Trainers Whip. It turns you into the tamer class. This class is about summoning creatures without strain, and using them to attack. It's very versatile with learning each type of Psynergy." (W) Felix explained

Felix then pulled out the final item. A black book with a red marking. "This item is called the Tomegathericon. It turns you into a dark mage class. It focuses on mainly Earth and Fire spells." (W) Felix said.

(W) Felix placed the three items down in front of him. "I don't have any need for these items, so I figured I would give one to each class. They are sure to help you out greatly. There are three items, and three houses. So, each of you will get one. Get back into your classes with your professor and decide which one you want. Sorry to Shamir and Flayn." He said

Shamir and Flayn stepped aside as Hanneman walked up to join his class as Byleth and Isaac gathered theirs.


Isaac met up with his students to discuss which item they should take.

"I think any of them would prove valuable, but I think the card or the book would be our best bet since we lack fire." Claude said

"Agreed. I can go with anything to be honest, so what is it that you guys want?" Isaac asked

"I think Lysithea would be good for the book since she's kind of our own little dark mage." Claude said

"I'd rather stick with Jupiter, thank you." Lysithea grunted.

"The Trainer Whip sounds nice." Marianne muttered

"This might take a while." Isaac sighed


With the Black Eagles:

"I'm not really an Adept, so I can't really make much of a decision, but all three do sound nice to observe." Hanneman said

"I think the card is out of the question. From what Felix said, it grants mainly fire and wind which we already have." Edelgard said

"The Trainer Whip gives each element, so that could work." Caspar suggested

"That is true, though the book would also give us Venus, and I think I can make good work of it as well. Bernadetta, what do you think?" Edelgard asked

"Huh? Oh uh, anything works." Bernadetta said not wanting to get involved more.

"This is our class to. Your input is most needed." Edelgard said

"Oh…I don't know if I would want the Trainer Whip. I don't need more monsters please." Bernadetta said

"So, should we go for the book then?" Caspar asked

"Maybe. Honestly, our class is at a disadvantage in terms of Psynergy. Both the Golden Deer and the Blue Lions have three elements, while we only have two." Edelgard said. "We definitely are going to need the best support we can get."


With the Blue Lions:

"The Book is definitely out. You're our best at magic-based attacks and if you get that, you trade in your water for two elements we already have." Felix said to Byleth who nodded

"I agree. We should go with the whip or the card." Dimitri said

"I guess I would have to see more in action of what they can do before we can decide. What do you think Dedue?" Byleth asked

"The Tamer whip would give us the most versatility, though the card would give us the Jupiter Psynergy we lack." Dedue said.

"Tough choices." Dimitri sighed

"What do you think Sothis?" Byleth asked in her head

"Honestly, I don't know much of Psynergy myself outside of what you know. I do have to agree with what Felix said though." Sothis said


After a while, the three classes decided to hold off on choosing to better see what they have in store.

"Alright then. Felix here will hold onto them for safe keeping. During classes, we will hold time to have us all test them out and then decide before the Battle of the Eagles and Lions. Agreed?" Isaac asked and everyone nodded as Isaac turned to Shamir and Flayn. "You two are free to try them as well."

"I think I'll stick with what I got." Shamir dismissed

"I would like to just keep practicing with my water Psynergy." Flayn said

The rest of the class time was spent training further with Psynergy. Ivan thankfully gave a hand teaching Jupiter Psynergy to the new Jupiter Adepts as well as assisting the Mercury Adepts allowing Isaac to focus on the Venus and Mars Adepts a bit more.

"As you guys all know, I am Ivan. I can be found in the market place helping Anna with her shop, but if you guys are in need of help with Psynergy, I'll do what I can to help." Ivan said. "Now then. Wind Psynergy is well for supporting your teammates."

"You mean like the Impact spell?" Lysithea asked

"Correct. That spell can be very helpful in giving some more power to your allies, but there are more you will discover when you obtain some Djinn to help you out. There are spells like ward that can boast the resistance you take from negative affects for example." Ivan said

"Negative effects?" Claude asked

"Like if you are hit with a weapon dipped in poison, the ward spell can help protect you from the poison." Ivan explained

"Wish we had that on our mission." Lysithea grumbled in which Claude and Marianne couldn't help but nod.

"There is also sleep, which is pretty self explanatory, but there is also Bind that can prevent the enemy from using Psynergy." Ivan said

"Prevent them from using Psynergy? Like how a silence spell prevents enemies from casting magic?" Lysithea asked and Ivan nodded. He did learn about Fodlan magic a bit on his travels with Anna. "Now I really want to find some Djinn."

"I'm sure you will soon." Ivan assured

"You seem more knowledge about this than Teach." Claude commented

"To Isaac's defense, Earth and Wind are opposite elements. While on our journey, we would shuffle our Djinn around to try out different classes and see what worked best, Isaac had little experience with Jupiter compared to the rest. Like how I did with Venus and you two will likely as well." Ivan said

"I suppose so." Lysithea said

"I suppose that means, I will be less experienced with fire then." Byleth commented and Ivan nodded.

"Wind and Water are close to each other. While I am definitely not as well knowledge as Mia or Piers, I do know a bit if you guys are interested." Ivan said

"I would very much like that." Flayn said

"What about you two. You've been silent since this started." Ivan asked Bernadetta and Marianne.

"I-I'm fine for the moment." Marianne stuttered

"S-Same here!" Bernadetta said quickly

"Don't mind them. They're just shy." Claude said

"I guess so." Ivan muttered


With class done with, Isaac decided to prepare for next week. Lorenz's birthday was coming up and Isaac had no idea how to proceed. Raphael was easy to figure out. He was pretty straight forward and had Ignatz to help him. Lorenz didn't have anyone close to him like that to ask. In the end, Isaac would have to up and ask him what he likes.


With Rhea and Seteth:

"It would appear that the rumors were correct in the end. Lord Lanato is preparing an army for war against the church." Seteth said

"Then we have no choice. We will meet with his army and crush them." Rhea declared

"Very well. How about the students? We need a mission for them." Seteth asked

"We can have them assist the knights. This situation is too dire to ignore." Rhea said

"To send the students to a threat like this? That is too reckless. Fighting bandits is one thing, against an army?" Seteth argued

"If what I heard was true, Lord Lanato's army isn't all that strong, and I never said I was sending the students to the front lines. Have some faith in me Seteth." Rhea said

"My apologies." Seteth bowed

"We will have the Blue Lions and the Golden Deer follow in the back to pick up any stragglers that manage to get passed the army. We will even have one of the finest knights of Seiros there to help them. The Black Eagles will be on guard to a nearby village to ensure that the army doesn't get in and harm civilians." Rhea decided.

"Understood. I will inform the three professors of their missions at once." Seteth said and Rhea nodded.


Djinn Fact of the Day:

Flint: Hey there everyone. Long time no see. But I'm back now with yet another Djinn to introduce.

Jupiter Djinn: Wait! I haven't appeared in the story yet! Shouldn't we wait until Ivan uses me?

Flint: Look, Golden is going to be giving more Adepts Djinn soon, and another Sun Saga chapter will also be coming soon that apparently, I can't do this in. I don't want to fall behind so we are doing this now!

Jupiter Djinn: All right then...

Name: Gust

Attribute: Wind

Stats: HP +9 / ATK +2 / SPD +2

Origin: Golden Sun

Original Location:Bilibin Underground Warehouse

Flint: So, what do you do in battle?

Gust: I power my Adept with some Jupiter Psynergy to make their attacks a bit stronger, but I can also allow a second attack right after the first resulting in double damage.

Claude: All right Ivan. Let's see what you got.

Ivan: Gust!

*Whack!* *Whack!*

Claude lays on the ground with two bumps on his head and Ivan gives the peace sign.


And that's a wrap!

Yes. Ivan has Gust as his only Djinn at the moment. Pretty much each of the Wayward Adepts have their first Djinn with them. (The ones of the elements that you normally find first in a normal play-through, or in some cases, what they had to start with when they joined.)

As for what happened to Edelgard, well I did say that strain will happen to the body with summons, so of course it will be hard on someone who has had strain on their body to shorten their life span by having two crests. And yes, Lysithea is the same.

So as for those items, all of them do give at least one of each element, but what I wrote was their main focus, but I figured I would find some use for them. Take your guess at who will get which item. XD (They have already been decided)

On a side note: Thanks for the suggestions so far. I may not be able to do all of them in the end, or some may wait a bit, but I will try to do as much as I can. Still, feel free to keep them coming. They're a big help.

Anyway, next chapter Isaac and Byleth will receive their next mission, while someone finds a Djinn. Stay tuned.

Guest since Ch 1: That's not a bad idea for Lysithea getting a Djinn
