[Ether and Class]

The sky was clear when I held a lecture on Ether and Classes. My audience was not limited only to my druid subordinates, but also included the other noble class and rare class goblins. It would've been nice if the king could make it as well, but unfortunately, he was busy.

As I opened the class, I started by asking Gi Do what he thought of classes and ether.

"The higher the class, the more ether one can use," Gi Do said.

It wasn't a complete answer, but correct nevertheless. As expected of one of my druids. Me praising Gi Do seemed to have provoked Gi Gi however.

"Lord Gi Gi, what's the matter?"

"I'm hungry."

"Like a strong wind. Like a swift wind!Wind Cutter"

A wind clad in ether tore the air in front to stir up the dust around the unenlightened fool.

"Eat dust, why don't you?" I glared at Gi Gi to silence him, and then I began explaining.

"From time to time, a goblin is born who can control ether. Such goblins are known as practitioners. And just as goblins evolve into rares and nobles, practitioners evolve into druids and shamans. This was proven a few days ago when I evolved.

When one evolves, the ether one can use seems to increase. But is this really due to an increase in ether? Or perhaps due to an increase in the types of ether?

The answer might vary from practitioner to practitioner, but it is probably the types of ether that one can use that increases.

"Can't you finish in two words or something?" Gi Gi asked.

"Shut up." I said as I hit his head with my staff.

"Shut up... that's two words indeed. Enlightening..." Gi Gi nodded as if understanding something, but I ignored him and continued the lesson.

"To begin with, ether is something that all goblins have regardless of whether one is a practitioner or not. In fact, even the very air is laden with ether. By the way, that's actually something I found out just a few days ago when I was fighting the ogre lord and I happened to sense the ether from the clouds of dust that stirred up."

"Now you're just boasting!" Gi Gu complained.

When he said that, I accidentally casted a small whirlwind toward him, sending him flying into the blue sky, but... more on that later.

[Use of Ether]

"One way to distinguish between the ether inside the body and the ether outside the body is with colors. We can say that the ether inside the body is colored, while the ether outside is colorless. When one's ether makes contact with the air outside, the color of that goblin's ether oozes out into the surroundings. Of course, the color is strongest near the source, growing weaker the farther it goes. Which is also to say that the effect is weaker."

"Teacher, so wouldn't that mean that ether casted at point blank is really strong?" Gi Do asked.

I nodded. "Exactly. But it is important to note that every practitioner has his own ideal range, which we can categorize into three types: long range, medium range, short range. Then there's also the division of ether within the body. Gi Do, it's extremely important to know your range. It's a matter of life and death."
