Chapter 1446 Formations
While Emery had his apothecary and Julian had the crystal sphere for the deed, Klea had her own way to analyze the fey kids' talents. It was the rune formation.
The group made their way to a corner of the village that was filled with lots of small and medium rocks cleverly arranged in a fascinating arrangement. There were various drawings etched into the rocks and the ground around them had been prepared for a specific purpose.
This was one of the projects Klea took on after she returned to Earth. In order to further increase her understanding of the [Hexagram Formation], Klea had gone ahead and purchased several formation techniques prior to her departure from the Magus Academy.
Some of them were crucial to her future, while some were something she picked up because they seemed interesting.
[Elemental Formation]
It was a formation that allowed the caster to manipulate elements to a limited degree, enhancing or restraining all or specific elements. It was also apparently the formation that Fuxi's Hexagram Formation was based on.
[Shield Formation]
It is a formation whose sole purpose was to create a barrier capable of withstanding attacks for its caster.
[Mental Formation]
It was similar to the Shield Formation, but the purpose of this formation was to disrupt Spirit Reading's senses and protect its caster's mind against spirit based attacks.
Each formation had their own specific rune pattern that was so complex and intricate that even a brilliant mind like Klea needed months to reach an elementary understanding.
The formations also required certain items to act as catalysts in order to work, and with the materials she currently had in her possession, she could only construct the most basic formations in her repertoire.
Standing in front of the group of Fey children, Klea swept her gaze over them one by one before speaking in a firm tone. "It's been one week. Let's see how much you all have improved."
The formation Klea had prepared for this assessment was actually one of the simplest ones named [Sonar Formation]. The formation wouldn't be able to show the information due to its low rank, but it was more than enough to use in this case as the targets were barely reaching Rank 8 acolyte. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
It had a similar pattern to the symbol on each of the Magus Academy's acolytes' palms. With it, Klea was able to analyze a person's talent without the crystal sphere as it was directly connected to her own symbol.
Moreover, the best thing about this formation compared to the crystal sphere was that she could analyze them all at once.
Klea beckoned the kids, the moment they entered the formation circle she promptly cast the spell to begin the process. The drawings engraved on the rocks started to glow brightly, the Fey children stared in awe at this magical sight. At the same time, a notification popped up in her mind.
[Target analyzed]
Like a rushing river, strings of letters and numbers quickly appeared in her mind. A glint flashed in her eyes as she quickly scanned through the notification.
Most of these Fey kids had C rank aptitude with their spirit force ranging in between twenty to forty points. Due to their young age, their spirit power couldn't rise too much. Despite that, they were still on average better than the thousands she mentored at the Roman Academy.
As for the Fey sisters, she nodded her head in approval at their results.
[Lilith]
[Battle power: 45]
[Spirit force:120]
[Acolyte rank 6]
[Spirit aptitude: C
[Lelith]
[Battle power: 48
[Spirit force: 115]
[Acolyte rank 6]
[Spirit aptitude: C]
[Glita]
[Battle power: 48]
[Spirit force: 148]
[Spirit aptitude: B]
From the results she received, Klea could see that those who possessed the C rank aptitude all obtained an increase of two points in a week. The exception was Glita, who obtained three points with her B rank aptitude.
Once she told the children about their improvement and were over with the analysis, Klea started giving instructions about spells. With her understanding of all eight elements, she was able to teach about this topic without any trouble, even the ones she was not proficient at.
At the end of the day, she had taught the Fey children about basic spells of the respective elements they had affinity with. She made sure all of them learnt at least one spell from either the offensive, defensive or support category.
"Alright," Klea said as she clapped her hands. "That is all for today. Until next time."
With that, Klea's routine for the day was over. After saying goodbyes with the Fey children, she turned around and promptly made her way towards the hill where the stone formation was.
Just as she was about to arrive, she could see a small camp built by the Briton's knights. She chose to ignore them and just went to sit on one of the rocks there, her gaze staring at a certain spot remained there unmoving for hours.
It had been almost a year since Emery's body had been inside the Khaos space.
She received news that Morgana had stepped out of the Khaos space twice when she left for Rome. But now, it had been six months since the female wolf was last seen. Therefore Klea couldn't help but hope that she would come out bringing good news soon.
Remembering about the window that could see the outside world from inside the Khaos space, the Queen of Egypt believed that the rock she was currently sitting on was the closest she would come to while she was waiting for him.
"Come out soon please… I really miss you."
Her longing, coupled with the exhaustion she accumulated from her training, weighed so heavily on her mind that she unknowingly began to fall asleep. Hours passed until she was awakened by the sound of footsteps approaching.
Turning around, she saw it was a woman. Unfortunately, it wasn't Morgana. It was Luna of the Quintins family.
Seeing her wake up, Luna smiled wryly as she said, "I'm sorry to wake you up."
Shaking her head, Klea replied, "It's okay… What is it, Luna? Why did you come here?"
Luna had a concerned look on her face as she saw the raven-haired girl's response and facial expression, "It's about King Arthur's invitation… It's in three days."
Clearly, Klea had lost track of time, she had almost forgotten her plans to go to Camelot.
The King of Briton had sent her an invitation to attend an annual event, which had not been held for the last three years. It was a well-known event throughout the island, but with a new kingdom and its ruler, it was now called by a different name.
The Knight of the Round Table Tournament.
