Chapter 43

The Dotun Mountains ran along the southern outskirts of the empire.

In the uphill road of its dense forest, Charlotte traveled with Maho.

“… Anyone can have mana, but its quality and amount accumulated vary from person to person. That’s why the ‘mana quality’ can theoretically be divided into ten different classes.

The princess from the royal palace had many things she was curious about. Fortunately, her knight happily answered her questions with sincerity.

“An average person’s mana falls under class 9 or 10. A little better than that, and they’d be in class 8. People belonging to class 7 and above can try to be a knight or a wizard. Those who fall within class 6 can become a Professor of Magic or even a Guardian Knight, depending on their background and personality.”

“Aha~ I see! Interesting~ How do you measure class, then? Can I also have the quality of my mana identified?”

They had been walking for two days and nights without a break. Maho’s unwavering vigor made Charlotte smile a little.

“There’s still no definite method to identify one’s class. It’s just a gut feeling among masters. That being said, it’s rare for people to reach class 5 and above due to their high requirements. In fact, those belonging to class 4 and 3 are already so powerful… most of them have important positions in the continent.”

“Woah. If class 4 and class 3 are that good, what about class 1?”

“I’m not even sure if anyone’s strong enough to belong to that class, but if there are, then they’re probably gods. As far as I know, class 2’s members are…”

Bercht’s Great Elder Dzekdan.

The empire’s Guardian Knight Gefrid.

The Great Wizard Demakan.

And the Imperial University Tower Chairman Adrienne.

“Those four are the only ones in class 2.”

“Wow… Even I know those people’s names. What about Professor Deculein?!”

“I’m not sure. That guy might be class 4 or 5.”

Deculein’s mana quality, in the beginning, was class 6, but now it had gone up to class 5, just as the knight said.

“Anyway, hang in there a little longer.”

“Don’t worry!” The princess diligently followed the rugged mountain path.

Charlotte was worried since she was small and beautiful, like a doll, but her perseverance made her wonder if she secretly underwent extreme workouts.

Nevertheless, she smiled proudly.
