[For him to be alive means he is a blessed, and that leads to a theory.] The system said. [What is the prominent deity worship in the empire and who made that so?]
"Vulcan, the lord of flames and destruction. The royal family.' Blake answered.
[It might look like a coincidence, but if you check the date when the religion was introduced into the empire you will notice that it was when Synder was close to dying.] The system pointed out.
"So, you are saying that when Synder was proclaimed dead, he had transcended to godhood?" Blake was stunned.
[Yes.] The system said.
"It makes a lot of sense because there was no way his grandchild wouldn't be his Blessed." Blake stated.
[And that explains how he was able to defeat the emperor tier Inazuma in the battle angel realm.] The system added.
All history books about Emperor Synder had one thing in common, and that was him dying at the peak of the Battle angel realm.
The stories didn't make much sense to non-believers like Blake because it was impossible to perform all the feats he achieved even if he was a genius.
But now the system's theory had explained some things but not all.
"If your theory is right then the royal family is still being controlled by him but is it him helping me through Prince Bryon or is Bryon doing it on his own?" Blake wondered.
Blake and the system had no idea that they had just discovered a piece of information that only the top families in the empire knew of.
The strength of the royal family wasn't the only thing that feared the top noble families. It was because they had one of the strongest deities on their side.
So, if none of the noble families were loyal to the royal family and even if they were to borrow the strengths of other empires there was no way they would beat a deity.
Also, if they were to truly have evil plans against the royal family, it wouldn't get to that level because they would have already been wiped out before then.
After pondering over a few more things, Blake continued studying arrays.
The most difficult part of the integration method was learning how to merge the arrays properly, and according to the system he needed adept knowledge before he could proceed.
It involved understanding the rhythm of the different parts of an array at an atomic level from when it was activated till when it was fully operational.
Once he had understood that, he would be able to decide the point to join a different array with the same rhythm, thereby forming the chain of array displayed in the previous class.

Due to the team knockout exercise, the next day was the for the students to rest after weeks of relentless preparation and a draining team knockout exercise.
It wasn't the same for the Order of chaos adventurer party. Unlike the nobles who got their beast cores on request, they had to grind for theirs.
The party went hunting for beast crystals for beast cores and after close to 6 hours of hunting, they made their way to the adventurer's association to sell the spoils.
They currently had a problem and that was the number of beast cores they were getting was barely enough. This was because the more stars they filled up the more beast cores needed.
So far, they had been using quantity over quality to meet up but currently, the number of beasts needed to be hunted to meet the quota wasn't corresponding with the number they came across in the forest.
"We have 2 options right now. Either we move deeper into the Mina woods or we could sell the spoils of the hunt and purchase better grades of beast cores." Blake said.
Strong magic beasts possessed a certain level of intellect and due to the fear of being hunted, they choose not to stay close to the city.
If they chose to go in search of them, not only was there a chance they would meet a beast beyond their level, but it meant they would be looking at camping overnight in such a dangerous place.
"First option." After thinking about it Castiel and Brian stated.
Since the school's exchange points covered all of their needs they had no use for gold coins at the moment. So it wasn't a bad idea.
"Although this is much safer, it is only a temporary measure to meet up with our needs. Sooner or later we will still have to hunt for them." Blake said.
The carriage soon reached the adventurers association and they went straight to Susan.
"Before I proceed with your request I would like to inform your party about the latest update.' Susan said as she pulled out 3 communication orbs from beneath the counter.
"Due to the assassination attempt on your party, the association has upgraded its policies to protect its adventurers.
Every party and adventurer at the C rank and above will receive a communication orb that links them to the association and are only meant to be used for emergencies and special requests." Susan explained.
The grade and functions of the orb were determined by the level of the adventurer.
That of Blake could connect him to the communication department of the association, while that of Zirrack could link him directly to the guild master of any region he was in.
'This is so thoughtful of the association.' Blake couldn't help but admit.
If they had this during their journey to the Bulian hills, it would have been reported and actions to identify the problem would be carried out immediately.
"Thank you, this will go a long way in making life easier for us." The team collected the communication orbs and went ahead to meet an appraiser.

The next day, classes had resumed but it did on a sour note. At the start of the class, they were informed that their test with the 2nd years was scheduled to hold in 2 weeks time.
