Lessons and Libraries

As the sun peeked over the far off mountains, the time has already started to approach seven in the morning.

Rolling out of bed, Clay got up before taking a moment to remember how he got in this elegant yet simplistic house.

'That was slightly chaotic.'

Little did Clay know, his days where about to loose any sense of calm. Without even realizing it he had been the cause of a political uproar between the Divine fox faction and the dragon factions of the gods.

While he was doing some personal hygiene, Nirin walked in just before the doors to their calm residence was bursted into, shattering all semblance of the previous calm.

"Hello disciples! Hells, I mean heavens boot camp begins." Mizuki stated while Walking inside with a devilish grin. "The eternal gardens, Academy For The Hard Working's new year is soon to start, and I have been tasked with catching you up to speed. Meet me outside in 10!" And with such words, Mizuki turned around before leaving out the doors she had previously blown through.

Finishing up with preparations Both Nirin, and Clay where outside in front of their house after about nine minutes. Here they waited for about one minute watching as their supposed instructor combed her own bristly looking hair.

"Alright students one, and two! Let's start by going over how the world works. Previously you may have only known about one or two cities or maybe only a town or two. The world you came from is a fledgling planet where twelve high gods are currently fooling around, or somthing. Most worlds of low tier only have a god or two, usually of opposing elements or ideologies."

Continuing with her lesson Mizuki sat down on a small rock under a tree. " All being in existence can be primarily measured in soul tier. Most being only have a soul strength of 1, with the highest beings, that even I can't conceptualize, being tier 9. Anyone with a soul strength of 2 can be considered divine and tier 3 can be considered gods to normal people."

Wanting to ask a question, Clay tried to speak up before being completely ignored as Mizuki continued their explanation. " Now while a can't really help you with anything godly, I can inform you that neither of you are gods yet, even if lord Cade may have said otherwise. This is due to, A, you soul tier is 2 just like me, and B, you don't have a divinity."

"Now what did you want to ask Clay." After completing her explanation with little bravado, Mizuki finally let Clay ask his question.

Being direct Clay asked a seemingly simple question, not knowing that it was in reality very complicated. " How do you gain a divinity?"

"Well the easy answer is fully comprehend a concept at the level in witch you soul is at. The hard answer is something you can read about later! Now that I have gotten that out of the way let's do some basic arithmetic!" With surprising enthusiasm Mizuki got up from her rock like seat, and pulled out some white-boards from behind the rock only to start explaining not only how they functioned, but also some of the basic structures governing basic arithmetic systems such a multiplication, division, and fractions.

Through out the eight hours in witch Nirin and Clay had to sit around listening to Mizukis lectures, a world shaking prison break was.. not occurring.

"Coming to you live from the scene, Tod Howard former CEO of stary-sky technologies

Has quit literary vanished. Guards within report that not even ten minutes after locking him up, Tod had vanished with zero traces of how left in his cell or around the state prison." Said a reporter intern who had done nothing but make coffee until now during his internship.

The on-site report ended with a well animated blue to dark blue gradient transition sweeping the screen from the left.

"Thank you John for that report, on other news the new game Erebus online, from stary-sky technologies. Has announced a official release date in about two months. This news excites…" continuing on with the news report, the news anchor was still confused why they where reporting on video games when they where a weather focused channel.

After about a month of learning basic math, literature, and geography of their current home plane alongside Nirin, Clay walked for about 20 minutes to a nearby library within a small town.

Getting some interested looks from a predominantly divine fox town worth of people, Clay found that after stepping into the library there was only a magic circle with a sign hanging from above it describing its use.

Before Clay could even read the sign hanging from above,the magic circle on the floor lit up and a group of girls walked out. bypassing Clay, the girls continued their conversation beyond clays perception.

Activating the teleportation circle Clays surroundings changed from a simple room to the inside of a vast tower. The inside of the tower seemed almost maze like the curve of its walls barely noticeable and it's verticality out of sight.

Clay couldn't help but utter a soft "dam." From the sight the sheer size of the library out of his comprehension let alone experience.

"Hello there sir! I assume this is your first time?" turning his head to meet the voice, Clay found a elf in a white short sleeved shirt, and a turquoise vest with an overly long inner corner near the neck that was folded backwards in a manor that made it a fashionable rather then a design flaw. In addition she had black breeches and brown boteu to match. Her bronze hair, which complimented the brass buttons that adorned her outfit, tied up in a ponytail that brought the whole look together.

Coming from his stupor rather quickly Clay got right to the point. "Ah yes! Um how would I find a book I'm looking for?"

"This is the library of babel, a tier 4, S class divine artifact. If you need a normal book, they are all sorted and labeled by category and then further by authors name along the outer wall. For books related to magical studies you can try to venture deeper towards the towers center to find them, the more valuable the deeper they are. Also please not that gravity is reduced within the library limits." After giving the long of it, the elf receptionist bowed before going back to reading her book.

Decided if it was time to find an easier book to understand about Druids, Clay ventured towards the sprawl of bookshelves with wide strides.
