Parallel Memory

Hiro and others also got the news of their selection to learn the new Art developed by Seraphine.

Seraphine was one of those rare people who learned more than one Art. With both her Art at perfect proficiency and their level being 7, when she combined them into one, the power it produced was incredible.

They had seen the incredible result of that Art on TV.

Many were stunned when they saw this demonstration by Seraphine. They were eager for the day when they got their hands on this Art. Many young people had already been searching for a new Art to learn.

However, among those people, Hiro and others were thinking about different matters. What Seraphine showed was something that they had witnessed many times already and were stunned when they realized that.

Yes, what they were thinking about was when Zero Elea would use his Dual Art. They didn't really understand when Zero used Dual Art. They thought of it as some kind of Skill that Zero possesses. There were many incredible skills like the Hiro system which could do incredible things.

However, after listening to Seraphine talk about some of its concepts, they were certain that Zero used to wield the same Art as Seraphine. And Zero seemed to have better control over it. Seraphine could only use the Dual Art once or twice before she got exhausted.

With that standard, Zero who could almost battle in that state seemed almost as proficient in Dual Art as someone who had mastered the art of Dual Arts. They had seen him use Dual Art as if it was any other Art.

"Isn't it the same thing that Zero used?"

Sylvia asked.

"It could be. I am not sure."

Lisa replied.

"I am sure that is how he used those ridiculously powerful techniques."

Sylvia said. She had always wondered how Zero could use two Arts like one. She only understood that when Seraphine explained it on TV.

"It might be the same or he could have skills that could result in similar things."

Misha answered.

"Anyway, we were invited to learn this. I think we should use this time to learn new Art."

Hiro chipped in. There was some time before they could learn this new Art. It is known by everyone that having two art is necessary for Dual Art to work. However, it is unusual for a person to practice two Art.

That is one of the reasons why Zero was considered a weirdo. And also the reason why many wondered how both of his Art were so powerful. One had limited time on hand, and it was already hard to level up one Art, not to mention two.

Zero always seemed to be strong whether he used Sword or Magic. While his Magic Art was obviously stronger, he was not weak with his Sword Art either.

Anyways, Hiro and others who were selected to learn Dual Art had to get a new Art or else what was the use of taking lessons from Seraphine.

They nodded at Hiro. They were already asked to get a new Art by the time they started the lesson from Seraphine. Seraphine wanted them to reach proficient proficiency in both of their Art.

Seraphine knows that it is important to know both of the Art to combine them. However, that was not the only requirement, one would also need to have good control over mana. That is what Seraphine was going to teach her students before they became proficient in their new Art and they could start combining them after their control and proficiency in Art reached a good standard.

For that week, Hiro and others had to search for compatible Art which they would be combining with their existing Art.

Similar Art was a good choice but that would not be powerful. Like combining two swords, Art might be easier but of no use. It is better to use higher level Art than to combine two sword Art.

That's why they need to find Art that might go well with their other Art. They already had an example of two vastly different Art being used in Dual Art. Zero's Dual Art is strong because he combined the Art of Sword and Cryomancy. Otherwise, if both of his Art were Sword Art, then it might only be slightly stronger sword Art and nothing like what he currently possesses.

Hiro and others had found their Art easily. Hiro can get any Art from the System though he used most of his points to buy one of level 7 Art. Similarly, Lisa and others had backers who could easily supply them with Level 6 and Level 7 Art.

Only Misha was having some trouble. She already has Level 4 Art. Now, she needs a higher level of Art. However, it seems Zero, who knows the future, has already prepared something for her as well.

Zero had told his information agency to get Level 7 Art or higher and give it to Misha. Well, the time that he told them to give her was around the graduation period and they will know. As a matter of fact, they knew their boss was talking about the time when Misha would be searching for new Art.

The only thing they told her was that Zero gave it to her as a graduation present or something like that.

At first, Misha could not understand what was happening, but she accepted this. She didn't just practice the Art as it might have been a scam. She went to talk to her parents and also Zero's parents.

Zero's parents gave a call to Zero's company which verified the information. Knowing that their son had prepared this for Misha, they knew that they could trust them.

Zero parents reassured them and told them that it was indeed their son who sent this Art.

Misha was first reluctant and tried to give it to them. The value of Level 7 Art is something that she could not buy with all the guild resources. It is an Art that only some people would get in their lifetime.

She didn't think she deserved to get such incredible Art. However, Zero's parents insisted that it was something that Zero wanted to give her. They also said that it was of no use to them.

Misha could only learn the Art. She was thankful to Zero and hoped that she could say that to him. She then went on to practice this Art until the Seraphine lesson started.
