Seriously..! C1s: Anyway, Prologue starts now Hey!... don't cut… ahh! Whatever

The Sun started to rise on a Ruin City and a Large Castle. Just scattered around were sword and spear lying around with armors collecting. Some swords were stab into the ground and many of the armors have arrows impaled into them and some into the Walls.

Near the entrance a group of people just walking in, , "Lord Hermes, we have arrive" A Blue hair girl stated, , "Then let's immediately go to the Library" Hermes look up "We need to hurry up, our time is limited", and all of them immediately go a abandoned Library.

They spend 4 day traveling form Orario to here, the former Capital of the Lakrios kingdom. They spend three days searching for this book but couldn't find, , Hermes began to think "Have Rakia stole that book…", , "Lord Hermes we found a secret passage" a blond hair elf stated

Asfi and Hermes run to where she was and saw the passage behind Mechanism that usually involve book shelves, they went down and saw a chamber, "This must be the royal mage's study chamber" Hermes stated "Good job Laurier" and they began to search.

Meanwhile on Orario, The city of Heroes and adventure. On the headquarters of one of the two Strongest familia, The Loki Familia. Some members are currently in lecture theater, With Bell and Kya on the front. "Alright we're ready" bell said to Kya, , "we can start"

Both turn to the people comprised of Ais, Menia, Cassandra, Line, Naaza, Daphne, Finn, Riveria, Gareth, Lefiya, Raul, Aki, Tiona, Tione, Rakta,Elfy, and unexpectedly Loki. "Alright… The last time we were here Brother explain the first three lesson *Grumbled* also my eleventh to thirteenth Lesson" Kya whispered but immediately snapped out "So today's lesson is the fourth one and is about one aspect of this World… Spirits"

Everyone listen and Bell Began "while are Spirits are mysterious, they are also the first guardians of The mortal world" … "there are many Spirits, ranging from Regular Spirits, Great Spirits, Grand Spirits" … "Regular Spirits are Newly form Spirits" … "Great Spirits are Spirits that have living beyond 100 years" … "Grand Spirits are the one's that have live beyond a thousand years"

"Spirit are bring into life by two method, either born from a natural pool of high concentrated Mana Reserve… or when a Mortal like us, have so much Mana… that when they give up their physical form, they became Spirits", , "Is this true Loki?" Finn asked his Goddess and People stared at her, , Loki Grin "Yes… this is true" Everyone was surprised "I'm not going to explain since we have our instructors clearly haves the knowledge about 'this"

"Okay" Bell Began Chanting "illusion, mind away…… Mind Illusion", , The scene change to a white, , A human silhouette appeared "when a mortal being's Mana pool reach a point where it starting to leak to the outside world" he said "Mana pool are always isolated from the outside world and only can be detected when used"

Kya was next speak "Is much easier to detect a magic user when they using a spell than one that doesn't" she said "you can still detect their Mana but only the last used spell", , "Huh… that explains a lot" Alicia stated, , "No wonder why is hard to investigate when is a magical incident" Lefiya.

"Now back to the topic, Now depending on the person, They can give up their physical form or wait until they die" "The Form they can take depends on them to pick" Bell said and once again change the scenery. "Now that we know the basics, is time to learn the first 12 spirits of the Mortal realm, The Ancient Spirits, or what the gods of Tenkai called them, The Fallen 14" they look at loki

"Oh them…" Loki smile "The other half of the creation gods" loki reminiscing the past "I won't be telling it today but maybe another time" Loki said "continue on with the lesson"

"Sure" Bell said "Jupiter, The Sky Spirit" "Juno, The Unity Spirit" "Neptune, The Sea Spirit" "Ceres, The Harvesting Spirit" "Vesta, The Caring Spirit" "Venus, The Love Spirit" "Vulcan, The Crafting Spirit" "Vulcan, The Battle Spirit" "Plato, The Earth Spirit" "Delian, The Art Spirit" "Mercury, The Commerce Spirit" "Minerva, The Fair Spirit" "Diana, The Forest Spirit" "Bacchus, The Festival Spirit"

Back with Hermes,

When they enter the chamber, they many books scattered around. Without wasting time they began to searching for the book. They search endlessly until one of the books contain the information they were looking for. "This is…!" Hermes look shock "everyone we'll be heading out now, we need to return now, Time is ticking until the 'Goliath' becomes one of the Calamities"

Before leaving, a book glows brightly, and Hermes took it with him.

3 days later, 10 am in the morning.

Bell is currently attending his Apprentice, Line "Line, today well be talking about our 5th lesson, Basic…" he got interrupted when, , "Bell!" A familiar half Elf from guild decided to pay a Visit, , Both Master and Apprentice look at her, But Bell felt something "It's Hermes… isn't it?...", , "yes… he's currently at the guild… it's an Emergency", , Line look at her Master.

"Line, we'll have this lesson another time" he said and waited for her Respond, , "Uh… sure Master…" Line nodded and Bell leave…", , Bell left and Line goes to meet her Friends"

Several hour later

All the top Familias Executives and their respective God along with Bell and Kya are currently inside the building.

"The situation is dire than I thought" Finn said "What would be our action, Prince Bell"
