Ascension of the Nephilim

Four others had assailed the great heights and were talking with the Pedagogs!

Emeros\'s teachings were amazingly efficient and helped many rise up and reach the halfway point of the trial!

But even as the teachers and Senior Teachers moved, certain teachers had an exciting way to improve their abilities.

It was all novelty ideas, a new approach to the matter.

Emeros had numerous ideas from what he had seen and experienced and even applied knowledge that the Floating Continents did not know.

Movements of mana and force, imitation, wielding, and divergent evolution of the magic they had were applied.

The Planesworld was already a realm of many diverse talents.

Emeros had seen the divergent powers that Listrel and Leah had with their abilities and even understood the concept behind it.

The Steele family had a remarkable ability to manipulate Force and could easily alter their force to imitate the strength of various paths.

With this memory and Emeros\'s growing knowledge, he could offer numerous advice to all the teachers who asked.

But what he did was make an implication and only lead them towards the right path.

CRASH!

One of the teachers, a battle mage, was amazed at what had happened.

"Force and magic... I could create... a balloon like this!" The teacher was amazed.

Many of the Master Teachers were also amazed by what they saw.

Many Pedagogs soon revealed themselves, and several One-Star Experts of the Continents Above the Sky had also entered the halls.

They were once uninterested in the scene, but now, with the unique talents that appeared, many were moved by the abilities presented.

The shocking appearance of these people made Principal Pedagog Xilar feel as if his heart would leap out from the scene.

Not all One-Star Experts were Pedagogs, but all Pedagogs were One-Star Experts. And many were growing interested in the actions of the teachers who were starting to complete the test as their abilities began to grow.

Many One-Star Experts even had their eyes set on those who had not ascended past one-third of the height to the next level!

The teachings of Emeros had already evolved as Emeros himself was immersed in his teachings.

"So this is what it\'s like... Teaching students didn\'t feel like this... There were many limitations to what they could do, and their control and innate understanding of their powers had not yet reached the level where they could follow their own path. These teachers already had a path to walk on! I\'ve been teaching in error! I should teach them... to find their own path!" Emeros began to understand more as his lessons became more experimental.

Emeros had seen what true power could become and what possibilities awaited them. The greatest limitation of the Planesworld was that it relied on the blessings of Gods and Fallens. But this place didn\'t have that. And Emeros knew that it was possible to acquire such power without the blessings as Kyros proved in the Forgotten Pages.

"This world has lesser heritage compared to the Planesworld. But this is their advantage! They have reached this level of power without all of that! And here, among the teachers and geniuses of the Floating Continent, they can already form new powers on their own!" Emeros was excited, and his expression changed as he talked and instructed the other teachers.

But as Emeros and the other teachers delighted in this, a few could only crash and hurt themselves.

All but twelve teachers were taught. And these twelve teachers refused to learn from Emeros as they were allied with the Crown Prince!

They were shocked that their contemporaries who were beneath them suddenly gained the attention of many who even surpassed the Pedagog that supported the Crown Prince!

The more they saw the One-Star experts and Pedagog move out and show interest, the more they felt the urge to impress them.

"That\'s it! I\'ll cross it in one go!" Andre Artes couldn\'t take it anymore and braved the skies.

Lights and glows flashed as he tore through the weight that tried to pin him down.

Without slowing down, Senior Teacher Artes rose up as he broke through the many obstacles of magic.

Pills and potions were used as he began to show the power of his own creations to cross the heavy skies.

Finally, he reached the top just in time as the energies he used to carry him were drained, and he crash-landed painfully as the loss of the intense gravity made him fly out of control.

CRASH!

His head penetrated the thick walls, and he had to pull his head out of the wall and reveal a bloodied face.

Bearing the pain and exhaustion, he went towards the Master Teachers allied with the Prince.

All were quiet. They knew that Artes couldn\'t impress anyone, and he had no choice but to use this method to reach the skies.

Artes sat down quietly, trying his best to remain awake.

"Wow. That was quite strong!" One of the teachers below was amazed at the power that Artes did.

"Indeed. This is one important lesson that everyone can learn from." Emeros spoke with a serious tone.

"If you have money, you could forward. Look at him, he used great pills and potions, and exhausted energy orbs, ores, and stones to the point of disintegration. Let this be a lesson to all of you! If you are untalented, short-sighted, dull, and do not have the patience to improve your own skills and overcome whatever obstacles that come your way, you better have money!" Emeros sneered at the end.

Many teachers tried, but failed, to hold their laughter.

Even those who had reached the top looked at Artes in disdain.

Though Emeros had taught them, it was their efforts and ingenuity that brought them there. Emeros\'s assistance was not just a one-time lesson. It was a lesson that they could use and apply in the future! Their skills increased! So everyone who had reached the top had the moral high ground, for they rose up through their efforts.

Artes spat out blood in his anger as Emeros continued to make a mockery of his actions.

"Anyone can climb this height if he has money! But do you think it will impress anyone? Please. Those up there are all far richer than Senior Teacher Artes! What can his country bumpkin savings do against the great wealth of those above? Ignore them! Let\'s continue with your lessons. Leave the class clowns to their clowning!"

"You!" The Master Teacher next to Artes stood up in rage.

"You teach others, but can you cross the great distance?! You have low cultivation! Far lower than all the rest! This little plot of yours to draw attention is an excuse since you have no power to raise this! Maybe you are asking others to help you since you have helped many to rise up! I applaud your eyes! But even we, the Master Teachers, would never hand over such easy paths to the ones we teach! We know what it means to advise our students and not help them out by handing everything to them! Do you think you\'ve done a favor to these teachers?! You have weakened their future!" The Master Teacher shouted.

Emeros\'s expression turned blank. There were truths in what this Master Teacher said, but more lies than truth.

"Everyone. I need you up there in ten minutes. Otherwise, don\'t blame me for causing you to fail along with the class clowns." Emeros answered coldly as he turned around and began to channel magic. He began to write something in secret on Vivindel\'s body as it began to expand.

At once, all the remaining teachers turned severe and began to make their attempts to rise up to the second floor.

They knew what Emeros was implying. If he moves, the test would be over. Therefore, Emeros was doing something no one else dared to try. He was going to destroy the examination circle!
