Aetheric Chronicles: Reborn As An Extra

Professor Elara started explaining the ranking system of the beasts one by one and in detail.

The first tier was obviously the Novice Beast.

It included young or inexperienced magical creatures, just beginning to understand and harness their magical abilities. They are not harmful nor pose any threat. Even the unawakened adults can handle them easily. And it is not divided into parts or levels—just Novice Beast rank.

The next one is Elemental Beast. Just as its name suggests, they have a strong connection to a specific elemental affinity, such as fire, water, earth, or air. These creatures wield elemental magic with varying degrees of skill and can be found in habitats corresponding to their elemental nature.

They often exhibit traits and abilities related to their chosen element, making them both fascinating and potentially dangerous to those who encounter them. Their power is equal to the Nebular Tier of our, intelligent races' system.

Elemental Beasts are further divided into subcategories based on their elemental affinity, allowing for a more detailed classification of these magical creatures.

However, according to the instructor, this topic will be explained in another lesson. Well, I already know them. And we will be seeing them soon.

Anyway, moving on, the next one is the Arcane Beast rank.

The Arcane Beast rank marks the beginning of truly formidable magical creatures. These beings possess a deep understanding and mastery of aether, wielding it with precision and power that surpasses that of Elemental Beasts.

Unlike Novice Beasts and Elemental Beasts, Arcane Beasts are not as easily tamed, controlled, or defeated, requiring a skilled Awakener or even a group of Awakeners to handle them effectively.

In simpler terms, the Arcane Beast has mastered a unique ability just like we awaken an ability and master it. Arcane Beasts are known for their versatility and complexity, often wielding a diverse array of magical abilities that go beyond elemental affinities. These creatures may possess abilities such as teleportation, illusion-casting, or even an ability to see the future, just like mine.

Moreover, this rank is further divided into two tiers, with each Tier including three stages: 1st Tier - Arcane Conjurer; 2nd Tier - Arcane Archon.

They are respectively equal to our Lunar and Stellar Tier Awakeners.

The next rank is named Nightmare Ranked Beast or Mythical Beast. The beasts will be categorized according to their origins and nature. For example, a phoenix will be called a Mythical Beast while a Hydra Nightmare Ranked Beast.

They are insanely powerful magical creatures and even a dozen of Solar Tier Awakeners won't be able to easily defeat them, except if they are seriously powerful or their luck is off the charts.

They are simply a Nightmare as they are called.

"That's all I needed to explain." Professor Elara finally stopped. Her explanations were thorough and enlightening, shedding light on the intricacies of the magical world and the diverse creatures that inhabited it. As she continued to delve into the details of each rank, students found themselves growing more fascinated by the subject matter, eager to learn more about these magical beings.

But, the real surprise was yet to come.

"I am sure some of you have seen and encountered magical creatures before. Even though, it is still interesting to see them in person, right?" Professor Elara asked with a playful smile.

As Professor Elara's question hung in the air, a hushed excitement rippled through the class. Many students nodded eagerly, their eyes bright with anticipation at the prospect of seeing magical creatures up close.

And then, as if on cue, a shimmering light enveloped Professor Elara's hands, drawing everyone's attention. When the light faded, a small creature appeared in her palms, emanating a soft glow.

The creature was small and delicate, with iridescent wings that fluttered gracefully as it hovered in the air. It was a Novice Beast, its gentle demeanor and innocent expression eliciting a chorus of delighted murmurs from the students.

"This," Professor Elara began, her voice filled with warmth, "is a Sprite, one of the most common Novice Beasts found in our world. Sprites are known for their playful nature and mischievous antics, but they are also fiercely loyal to those who earn their trust."

As she spoke, the Sprite darted around her hands, its tiny form buzzing with energy and curiosity. Some students reached out tentatively, their fingers brushing against its shimmering wings as they marveled at its beauty.

But just as the excitement over the Sprite reached its peak, another flash of light illuminated the area, causing everyone to gasp in surprise. When the light faded, a much larger creature stood beside Professor Elara, its imposing presence sending a ripple of awe through the class.

It was a majestic creature, with sleek fur and piercing eyes that seemed to hold centuries of wisdom. This creature was no Novice Beast - it was an Arcane Beast, its powerful aura radiating strength and intelligence.

"And this is Solaria," Professor Elara said as she stroked the creature. "She is a Sun Fox. Sun Foxes are rare Arcane Beasts known for their connection to the sun and their ability to use powerful solar flames. They can even reach Mythical rank if certain conditions are met. They are also revered for their wisdom and intelligence, often serving as guides and protectors to those who earn their trust."

As she spoke, the Sun Fox gazed at the students with an air of regal aloofness, its eyes glinting with a knowing intelligence. Some students gasped in awe, while others leaned forward in fascination, eager to learn more about the magnificent creature. While there were some who stepped back in fear.

"Sun Foxes possess a wide range of abilities, including the ability to manipulate light and heat, as well as communicate telepathically with those they deem worthy," Professor Elara continued, her voice tinged with reverence. "They are often found in regions bathed in sunlight, where they bask in the warmth of the sun and draw strength from its rays."

The class watched in wonder as the Sun Fox prowled beside Professor Elara, its movements graceful and deliberate. It seemed to exude an aura of tranquility and power, leaving no doubt in the student's minds about its status as an Arcane Beast of great significance.

"Wow, it's amazing!" one student exclaimed, his eyes wide with wonder. "I've never seen a Sun Fox before!"

"I know, right? It's like something out of a fairy tale," another student whispered in awe.

"Now, since you guys have seen a Novice and an Arcane Beast, let me show you an Elemental Beast." She said and flicked her fingers. With another burst of light, another creature appeared beside the professor.
