"Continuing from that line in the Ancient Book..." Scythe said. "What does it mean exactly? You might asked.."
Certainly, it's quite ambiguous as to what the text actually meant since it contains words that some of the students never heard before, they all looked at each other, trying to see if any of them knew the meaning of it, but none of them said yes, they either shrugged their shoulders or just shook their head.
"The first sentence, 'When the last judgement draweth nigh' has some pretty interesting words, what does 'last judgement' mean?" Scythe said, he threw the answer for everyone to guess.
Deon, seemingly confident, raised his hand and said, "Death?"
He wasn't sure if his answer is true or not, but he's confident that it would still be somewhat related.
However, Scythe knocked the doubts inside of him when he said, "Oh? that's right, you seems to get it." and nodded. "Death is our last judgement, its the absolute end for us, when facing with death, our mind will separate itself from your body, you will feel as if you're in another place, whether its nothingness, your home, or even heaven, before you know it, your lifeless corpse will rot for eternity."
Everyone was listening more closely than ever, their eyes now focusing solely on Scythe.
'What is he trying to say here? I still don't quite get it..' Calea thought.
Without wasting any delay, Scythe continued his speech, "Draweth nigh– what does it mean?" He said, asking the students again about the words meaning.
This time, Carsel was the one who raised his hand up, he then said confidently, "It's Near, like about to happen."
"'The Last Judgement is Near', correct." Scythe replied, his voice stayed the same. "Death is near, that's what the sentence meant— Usually, once your conciousness has woken up in another place, there's nothing that you can do to save yourself— However.. What if i tell you, that there's one situation where you can fight death." He said, smiling as he placed his palm over his face at the last sentence.
"What?" Said Seir, not sure if what he just heard was true or not.
"Interesting.." Carsel said, he found Scythe's words intriguing and worth listening to.
"Alright.. And that situation is?.." Said Kalios, he can't wait for the answer.
"The second sentence, 'The blade of the scythe shall guide you to a halcyon path'" Scythe said, continuing his speech, his eyes squinted and his voice is slowly getting louder. "This essentially meant that the scythe will be a guide for you towards a blissful path– Still lost?"
Scythe's hunch was correct, his students still didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he had to make it more simpler, he sighed before talking again..
"Let me ask you this– What's the one thing that every renowned and powerful swordsman have?" Scythe said.
Everyone thought about it for a while, Calea also tries to think of an answer, there's a feeling at the back of her head that said she should've known the answer, yet that answer is locked behind some sort of a wall, she needs to unlock it and searches through her mind for the key.
But before she could find the key, someone suddenly raised his hand, it was Zayn.
"Uhh, A- aura?.." He said, his voice trembling, he was clearly hesitating.
'OHH! Yeah, it was aura!' Calea shouted in her mind, the walls instantly crumbled and she remembered everything about aura, her bodyguard Arken also uses Aura, but she almost never saw him using it, the closest one she got was seeing the aura flame that engulfed Arken's sword.
Then, it was Scythe's turn to respond, "Hmm, you're correct." He said, his voice relived Zayn's anxiety and he smiled after realizing that his answer was correct. "Every powerful swordsman uses aura in one way or another, that's how they were able to perform moves that would usually be impossible if done with just a normal human body and strength– Now, how can someone obtain aura? Is it talent? ? Or a result from one's hardwork and training?.. Although those two method are proven to be the case, there's more to it, another way of acquiring aura that is way more superior and produced more strength in return."
"With this method that i have personally tried and succeeded, even someone who was born as a mage and doesn't have much endurance can produce aura comparable to an elite knight or A-Rank adventurer."
'Huh?.....' Calea thought, her mind went blank upon hearing what Scythe had just said.
The same goes for everyone, it was like a bomb had just dropped infront of them, they frozed, confused, and doesn't know how to react, whilst everyone was turning into stone, Scythe couldn't help but enjoy the sight that is presented before him, the way his student's face turned into confusion just fueled his spirit.
"Are you serious..." Deon whispered quietly.
Before anyone else try to whisper again, Scythe opened his mouth and told them that..
"If you, who dreamed to be a swordsman, were to succeed in using this method, then imagine how much power you would gain." He said, enticing everyone with power that they wouldn't be able to imagine.
There was a brief silence, Scythe seems to be purposefully holding the information and kept everyone at the edge of their seat, waiting for him to say the method, then after a few seconds had passed, Vedra suddenly shouted..
"Just tell us the method you damn instructor!! Goddamn psycho!"
A vein appeared on Scythe's face after he heard Vedra's shout, he squinted his eyes and wondered about what he should do to him.
'That guy is getting on my nerves, but i shouldn't kill my own student, they will do it themselves sooner or later..' Scythe thought, He then goes on to say, "Hmm, you're quite the impatient one aren't you."
His smile faded, both of his hands held together on his back, with a cold voice, Scythe said, "Remember that line from the ancient book, and think about it for a second– What am i trying to get here? What is the method? It's related with the text right? So, what's the answer?— The answer is, You need to be revived from death."
"Experience death, and come back from it, fight yout destined fate, but that's not all– Scream out your desire, your last hope, ignite the fire in your heart, and use that as a basis for your awakening. To put it simply, you need to have a strong desire, stronger than you'd think, an unbreakable desire, whether its for revenge, protect, selfishness, as long as you are able to give your heart a fuel, you'll see a miracle in that world, that miracle would be– Your scythe."
