Parallel Memory

Spirit Amulet was just the artifact that was needed to heal Lilith. It is a Rank-A+ artifact which means its effect is pretty powerful. Even though it could not immediately heal Lilith, Zero expected that Lilith would soon return to normal.

Zero put the artifact around Lilith's neck. The necklace shone and it seemed that the artifact had started to work.

Zero took out the teleportation scroll and headed to floor-27. He wanted to know what his limit was in this Tower Of Obelisk.

A year has passed since Hiro and Ace Academy won the Tournament Of Academies. They had also recently won the Tournament Of Academies without much trouble.

Currently, there was no student who could match Hiro and other students from Ace Academy. Hiro has advanced to Rank-B+ and is on the verge of breaking through Rank-A. If he did, he would become the youngest person to break through Rank A.

Previously, this title belonged to Professor Mia who also had the title of being the youngest to reach Rank-S. Professor Mia broke through Rank-A at age 20 and Hiro could take that title as he was just 18.

Others were also not far behind with Zion, Lisa, Misha, and Sylvia all being in Rank-B.

Not only were Hiro and others ranked higher, but they also had breakthroughs in their Art and gained new skills. They could already conquer some of the weaker Rank-A dungeons.

After the tournament, third-year students were busy choosing where to go. Ace Academy students always have lots of invitations, especially those who participate in the Tournament Of Academies.

They are also offered many lucrative benefits if they agree to join them. Many would choose the guild that is ranked higher while others would choose those that offer more benefits to them.

On the other hand, students like Hiro and Zion already have decided where they will join. Hiro was obviously set to join The Authority while Zion had his parents' guild to join. Sylvia had also planned to join The Authority where her father works while Lisa and Misha were set to join their parents' guild.

Nevertheless, it didn't mean that they would stop working together as a team. Until they are older and had to work like executives, they would continue to work as a team to conquer dungeons. The only difference was that they also had to work at their respective workplaces when they were asked to.

However, that would also be the case in the future as newbies like them would only be asked to accompany them after a few years of training. Despite the fact that Hiro and others were not in need of something like this, their organization would not immediately deploy them to some team.

Anyway, there was still time for them to graduate and they were working in a team to conquer as many dungeons as possible.

During that time, there was a big announcement that shook the whole world. The Rank-SS Hero, Seraphine, the War Goddess had managed to recreate an Art that would combine two Art into one.

Why say recreate? Because the description of the Art is enough to tell that Dual Art already existed before Seraphine. Anyway, they were not bothered by that and were more excited as this Art could revolutionize the world as they know it.

Moreover, because of the current state of the world, Seraphine was willing to teach this Art to others. In order to increase the power of humans, Seraphine decided to teach this Art to a limited number of talented people.

Of course, Hiro and others were included in this program. Seraphine was focusing more on young people as they were the ones that could really benefit from this Art. Older people may be able to become stronger, but not many people would have learned two Art and focus on one.

And it is too late for them to learn. Young people are still in their growing period and can pick up another Art which is necessary for using Dual Art.

Many media outlets have also been publishing news on this exciting news.

'Dual Art? It is now possible to combine two Art.'

'Seraphine brought forth the new Art which could revolutionize the world!'

'War Goddess brings forth a terrifying Art! Will we enter a new age?' ...

Many conferences were held in order to talk about this new Art. Seraphine, who is also called the War Goddess, was a dignified person. She had been trying to use two of her Art together for many years. She had faced lots of difficulties and only recently could she successfully combine her two Art into one.

When she did, her status also did get updated with her new Art. However, her name was included as the creator of the Art to her disappointment. She thought that she would be the first one to create such Art.

Nevertheless, she thought that many people in ancient times were much more powerful and smarter than her. It is possible they had already discovered this art, but as time passed, people had forgotten about it.

Anyway, it was such good news during the time of war between humans and devils. This could entirely change the way people train. Instead of one Art, many would now practice two Arts. This Art could increase the power of humans and they might easily win the war with Devils.

Seraphine was more than happy to share the method. However, because of the limited time, she only chose talented people for the time being. She was also not very proficient in Dual Art and would need time to teach others.

She needed much more time to teach others. And she might not even be able to pass down the Art to the people who are not talented enough. It might change when her proficiency increases in the future. For now, she could only take 20 students.

Hiro and others who were still students were given leave in order to learn Dual Art from Seraphine. This was an opportunity that no one would miss. Not only the opportunity to learn new Art but also to learn from a Rank-SS person.

Hiro, Zion, Lisa, Sylvia, Misha and surprisingly Professor Mia was also invited. Not that surprising as Professor Mia was one of the most talented people but Seraphine was mostly taking in only younger people. But because of her immense talent, Professor Mia was also selected by Seraphine.

In terms of talent, Seraphine mostly identifies Mia Frostine as the best talent. As the youngest at Rank-S, Seraphine was keener to believe in Mia's talent than Hiro's talent who had yet to reach Rank-A.

Anyway, she had called everyone she thought to be talented to learn this Art.
