I Never Wanted To Be a Hero

Chapter 12

"Hey, master... Did you managed to read that woman?" Yujin said while walking to his home.

"No... not really, either she's far enough for us, or your noctian potency is not that strong enough for us to read her yet."

"But you did that a lot of times before."

"Yeah, but it seems this woman is a lot stronger than expected. Typically, an average human would at least possess 100 noctian potencies at max. But the special ones contained at least a thousand. But no matter how special these people are, the Miracle still possesses the maximum power in the universe. It could possess unlimited noctian potencies. That's why, at some point, it will improve, and we'll get to read that woman."

"Why didn't I just have that million noctian potencies at the very start?"

"Well, it's because you'll die."

"I'll die?"

"Yes. Just like other people, having too many noctian potencies that your body couldn't take will only lead to death. Sometimes it ends with a brutal explosion of the body. It is the same for everyone and also to the Miracle holders. But since the Miracle holders had built-in immortality and regeneration inside, you won't get killed that easy. But still, at some point, it will wear off. Just like now, if you fought somebody and it killed you around five times, your immortality and regeneration might not take it, and you'll really die. The same goes for when you kept on exploding. That's why you will always start around 100 then 200 then 300 and so on at a fast rate when you're with the Miracle. It was a rapid progression but not that fast to protect the successor."

"That is a lot of facts. What more should I watch out for?"

"Hmmm... before, there are many confusing factions in the universe. But now they split it up into just two. The low beings and the high beings. The low beings included both humans, animals, and many plants that never had the chance to possess noctian potency or had a very little noctian potency. These beings could never use noctians nor magic, which is now called celestics."

"Yeah, I met a few of them, they're rarely in Aruka. They said they're mostly on the Octavian Empire."

"As for the high beings, these people are humans, animals, plants, hybrids, and zexians who possessed noctian potencies that they could use their noctians and celestics."

"What about hybrids and zexians who couldn't use any noctians?"

"Even if that was the basic definition of high beings, hybrids and zexians were strong enough even without using their noctians. The same goes for the Ur family. Most of them don't also use their noctians anymore due to their speed and combat skills. These beings, despite not using their noctians nor celestics, can match any noctian users."

"I have a question, do I need to learn celestics? Some people use it while some don't. Why is that? It was supposed to be discussed in my upcoming classes."

"Noctians and Celestics were nearly the same. All high beings were gifted with a least one noctian. That is always the case. But there are a few cases in which they possessed two, three, or four noctians. At max, I've only seen a man who possessed five. But that man who could use five noctians learned how to combine his noctians to make it feel like he's using around 15 noctians. There were also some cases in which some beings received noctians who could either copy or steal other noctians for a few moments. Fighting these people would feel like you're competing against 100 noctians even though they were only using one noctian. But since this world is like this, living is a survival. Usually, people receive these noctians through the genetic pool or through horrific experiences that they needed evolution. But there were some people who tried to obtain these noctians through illegal procedures such as experimentations, injections, pills, and other illegals mean.
