《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

The Formations Guild could also be found at the city's center, like most large organizations. Using a different appearance given by Rean and Roan, Frandin entered it and headed to the counter. Rean and Qia were also following him, pretending to be his slaves.
The worker at the guild then looked at Fandin before asking, "Hello, what can I help you with?"
Frandin then pointed at the test rules on the wall and asked, "I came here to take the test. How much is it?"
"It's 100 Rank One Spirit Stones. After that, you will have to take a knowledge test. As long as you get 50% or more of the questions correct, you can advance to the second test. There, you'll have to analyze a few random formations selected by the guild and tell their effects without activating them. Last but not least, you will be asked to draw a formation of your own. Of course, you would also need to provide your own materials depending on the type of formation you want to use."
Frandin quite liked it since it was more or less what Rean and Qia told him. Rean and Qia needed the study materials for formations of the Earth Peak-Level. The materials for beginner Formation Masters were always available to the public, and Frandin had gotten it a long time ago. Besides, Rean and Qia knew a lot already, having to just do a few revisions on the actual material since the planet's formations were of lower quality. Their main interest was simply the fact that they used Soul Runes, something they had never looked into before.
Frandin then headed to another room where he could see a few other contestants waiting. From its looks, the guild received quite a few candidates every day, so there were daily tests. Some of them also had their own human servants, so no one cared much about Fandin and his own.

Their group waited there for another hour or so before the guild sent someone to give the test.
"Alright, all of you. You can call me Hudin in case you haven't seen me before. I will preside over today's test. Come with me. The knowledge test is already prepared. As for those with their humans, please leave them here. They can watch the test from afar. That is to prevent any cheating and make sure that the ones who have the knowledge are yourselves."
Frandin, Qia, and Rean nodded at each other before Frandin headed to the test. Once inside the room, everyone was given the test, containing over three hundred questions. Nevertheless, Rean and Qia weren't worried. They made sure to carve all the points of low-level formations into Frandin's head during the past few months. If it was just an Earth Low-level Formation Master test, then they were certain Frandin would have no problems.
The Zasfins had three hours to answer the questions. Whether they finished all of them or not didn't matter. As long as they got at least 50% correct, they could head to the next test. Frandin was a little nervous at first but gradually became more relaxed as time passed. It was not like he knew all the answers, but he could definitely identify far more than just 50%.
Frandin reduced his pace close to the end of his questions to not obtain any unnecessary attention, finishing it just a few minutes before the three hours were over. Hudin's assistants then collected the sheets before he said, "Good. My assistants will take some time to finish checking your answers, so let's start the second test while we're at it. Come with me."
Everyone followed Hudin to a much larger room. There, they could see one large formation projecting several images on the air through the manipulation of Spiritual Energy.

Hudin then looked at everyone with a nonchalant expression as he explained, "As you all know, the second test is to analyze the formations displayed here. The formations that appear are random, so even I can't tell which ones will be selected. Each formation on display will be there for five minutes. After that, it will automatically change to a new one." He then pointed at the sheets of paper on a few tables prepared for the participants as he continued, "Just mark your answers there, and that will be enough."
Everyone acted as if it was a normal thing. From its looks, quite a few of the participants had tried it in the past but failed. Obviously, it didn't matter much if you failed as long as you pay the fee to try again. For Rean's group, that was a good thing. Well, from what Rean and Qia saw so far, they didn't think Frandin would have any issues with it. As people from a planet with more developed formations, this test was more or less a joke. Frandin definitely benefitted from this fact when they were teaching him.
Hudin then checked the display formation one last time before giving the order, "Alright, this test will take two hours. You may start."
As soon as he said that, the first formation was displayed in the air. Some instantly showed dark expressions, while others seemed to ponder over something. There were also a small few who identified the formation straight away. Frandin, as one could imagine, was one of them as he marked the answer, 'Mist Concealing Formation, Earth Low-Level type, self-sustainable but it could be strengthened if Spirit Stone is added. Can be broken through...'
Five minutes passed before the next formation appeared. And just like that, one formation after another was displayed as everyone answered the questions. Frandin was feeling no tension anymore. Sure enough, the level that Rean and Qia put him in was far above what the test required.
Eventually, then the last formation disappeared from the air as Hudin nodded. "Alright, this test is over. Give the answer sheets to the assistants on your side." Hudin then looked at the other Zasfins coming back with some papers as he said, "It seems like your knowledge test results are ready. Whether you did well in this test or not won't matter if you didn't get at least 50% correct during the previous test. Alright, I'll start from top to bottom—first place with 93% of their answers correct, Walton June."
Walton June...was the name Frandin used with his new appearance.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
