 ## Takanobu Nobuchika C
 \f[2|Takanobu]
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 Ah ha! Nobuchika-san, brother of\n
 Motochika-sama. Good to finally meet.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \f[5|Nobuchika]
 \s[5]
 Hmm? Ah! Yes, yes, your name\n
 escapes me at the moment...\n
 Takanobu-san! That was it.|
 
 \s[2]
 Indeed. Glad to know one of your\n
 stature is aware of my lowliness.|
 
 \s[5]
 Lowly? Were you not one of the most\n
 respected scholars in all of Ryu?\n
 I would hardly call that low.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|0]
 Key word being 'was', my good man.\n
 Without a clan and without a home, I\n
 am nothing but a wandering philosopher.|
 
 \s[5]
 Nonsense! In fact, this is a rare\n
 opportunity for me to converse with\n
 one as intelligent as you.|\e[5|1]\n
 Why, I feel giddy just thinking of the\n
 various topics in which we could discuss.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 You seem far more excited about this\n
 that I thought possible. Very well,\n
 let us decide on a time for this event.|
 
 \s[5]
 Incredible! I will write down my schedule\n
 and give it to you; whatever time best\n
 suites you will work perfectly fine with me.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \m[5|5]
 \w[8]
 
 \m[5|5]\s[5]
 Here you are! Until next time, Takanobu-sensei!|
 \s[-2]
 
 \s[2]
 Of course, Nobuchika-sensei.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \f[5|nil]
 
 \w[18]
 
 \e[2|0]
 \s[2]
 What the bloody hell is this?\n
 Old Arnetian? How obnoxious.\n
 I had heard he was a bit of a\n
 show off, but this is absurd! Who\n
 writes in such an archaic language?|\e[2|1]\n
 Very well then, 'Nobuchika-sensei',\n
 if this is the game you wish to\n
 play, then consider me on board.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \f[2|nil]
 \w[16]
 
 \f[5|Nobuchika]
 \s[5]
 That Takanobu... Not nearly as smart\n
 as he thinks he is. And hear I thought\n
 I finally met my match...|\n
 The humble act was irritating at\n
 best, so on our next meeting I will\n
 really show off what I can do.|
 \s[-2]
 
 ## Takanobu Nobuchika B
 \f[2|Takanobu]\w[8]
 \f[5|Nobuchika]
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 Ah! There he is, the man of the hour.\n
 Good to see you, Nobuchika-sensei.|
 
 \s[5]\e[5|1]
 Likewise, Takanobu-sensei.\n
 Now, let us being our discussion.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \e[5|0]
 \s[5]
 Now, I wished to speak to you on the topic\n
 of magic, specifically the natural magics.|
 
 \s[2]
 You refer to Wind, Thunder, and Fire.\n
 I am well versed in each of them.|
 
 \s[5]\e[5|1]
 Actually, I am referring to all of them.\n
 Surely you are aware of the lost natural\n
 magics Water, Earth, Prism, and Blood?|
 
 \m[2|2]\e[2|0]
 \s[2]
 E-er, of course! Only a fool not worth\n
 their salt would be caught unaware.|
 \s[-2]
 
 \r[2]
 \s[2]
 (What the bloody hell is Prism magic?!)\n
 Some kind of light-based magic? Must be.)\n
 (Another name for Soul magic?)|
 \s[-2]
 
 \w[16]
 \r[2]\e[2|1]
 \s[2]
 Ahem. What is it you wanted to say?|
 
 \s[5]
 Well, during my youth I have always wondered both\n
 why those magics have fallen out of favor what\n
 kind of connection they have with Light and Dark.|
 
 \s[2]
 Ah! You mean to ask why Light and Dark mages\n
 need to resort to tomes while user of the\n
 natural magics merely need a channeling totem?|\n
 It's rather simple, really; Light and Dark\n
 magic are not "true" magics, but merely an\n
 adaption of our lost magic types.|\n
 For example, Blood magic became Dark magic\n
 over time, and lost much of its strength\n
 in the process, forcing a need for tomes.|
 
 \s[5]\e[5|0]\m[5|5]
 Ah... Right, how could I have forgotten...|
 \s[-2]
 
 \r[5]
 \s[5]
 (Blood magic is raw Dark magic?) (How is\n
 that... Would that mean Prismatic magic is\n
 Light magic at it's most volatile state?)|
 \s[-2]
 
 \r[5]
 \s[5]
 Ahem! W-well, are you aware of why these\n
 magics became lost in the first place?|
 
 \s[2]
 Blood magic is far too powerful in its\n
 natural state, leading the practice of\n
 it to be widely banned in many countries.|\n
 By Prismatic, I assume you mean Soul\n
 magic? Prismatic is a more modern term.|
 
 \s[5]
 Soul...? Er, yes, I believe those are the same.|
 
 \s[2]
 Then the reasonings are similar. With the\n
 other 5 magics, the sacrifice needed was much\n
 smaller, just a bit of energy and the totem.|\n
 However, Blood and Soul... required the user's\n
 actual life essences or procuring it from\n
 another higher being.|
 
 \s[5]
 Fascinating...|
 
 \s[2]
 Don't you mean "Of course, I knew that"?|
 
 \s[5]
 You saw through my facade... I admit it,\n
 you have bested me, Takanobu-sensei.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|0]
 I was acting a bit childish myself. When\n
 you said Prism magic, I had no idea what\n
 in the world you were referring to!|\n
 And honestly... I barely know anything\n
 about Earth and Water magic as well.|
 
 \s[5]
 Truly?|
 
 \s[2]
 I never had a need to look into these\n
 sorts of magic before, they have been\n
 lost to time. I'm a Dark Mage after all.|\n
 Whatever pertains to what I specialize\n
 in will be what's most important to me.|
 
 \s[5]
 That makes sense, I understand you.|\n
 However, I have a proposition: Instead\n
 of the two of us trying to impress the\n
 other, why not put our brains together?|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 Are you certain you can keep up with me?|
 
 \s[5]\e[5|1]
 I should hope so! I have read the\n
 books you published after all, and\n
 I have not become a blubbering mess.|
 
 \s[2]
 Heh, some of them are difficult to\n
 grasp, I suppose. Something I should\n
 have probably taken into consideration.|\n
 But yes, working together sounds lovely.|
 
 \s[5]
 Fantastic! I shall meet you in the study?|
 
 \s[2]
 I will be there.|
 \s[-2]
 
 ## Takanobu Nobuchika A
 \f[6|Nobuchika]\m[6|5]
 \w[8]
 \s[5]
 Takanobu-sensei, look what I\n
 have stumbled upon!|
 \s[-2]
 
 \f[2|Takanobu]
 \s[2]
 Hmm? What have you found out?|
 
 \s[5]
 Well, you know how each of the natural\n
 magics have a direct race tied to them?|
 
 \s[2]
 Right... Aracana are Thunder, Lycan\n
 are Fire, and Kites are Wind.|
 
 \s[5]
 Well it turns out Earth and Water were\n
 tied to a race as well. Earth being\n
 Saytrs, and Water being the Undine.|
 
 \s[2]
 Hmm... I feel as if I should have\n
 known about the Undine connection...|\n
 However, the Aracanae are still the\n
 odd ones out. They do not have any\n
 elemental affinity tied to them.|
 
 \s[5]
 Right, they are classified in\n
 the old chronicles as monsters,\n
 devoid of elemental affinity.|\n
 Which we now know to be demonstrably false.|
 
 \s[2]
 The connection with magic makes me question\n
 if our elemental affinity chart is also wrong.\n
 Elves are not actually tied to Thunder...|
 
 \s[5]
 You think the two are closely connected?|
 
 \s[2]
 Given how every other magic type lines up\n
 with a race that is tied to the same\n
 elemental affinity, it seems logical.|\n
 Perhaps elves and humans have a common ancestor.|
 
 \s[5]
 Ah, meaning they have no specific affinity\n
 that they are drawn to... an interesting theory.|\n
 However, if we are stating that all elemental\n
 affinities are tied directly to a magic type,\n
 that leaves out one rather glaring problem: metal.|
 
 \s[2]
 Metal magic does not exist, right... Perhaps\n
 it refers to physical weapons? Most are made\n
 out of a hard metallic material.|
 
 \s[5]
 Hmm... And it was said that Orcs were the\n
 race to really jettison the entire weapon\n
 making practice... This seems quite plausible.|\n
 I have a question, though.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 Hopefully I have an answer.|
 
 \s[5]
 Earlier you stated that Blood magic is the\n
 more raw version of Dark magic. This would\n
 mean the same applies to Prismatic and Light.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|0]
 That was my conclusion as well, yes.|
 
 \s[5]
 This would mean that the... Er... Demon tribe\n
 were practitioners of Blood magic then?|
 
 \s[2]
 Indeed. And the Celestials were users of\n
 Soul - er, Prismatic magic to combat them.|
 
 \s[5]
 So much information to wrap my head around...\n
 We should document as much of this as we can\n
 for the future generations, Takanobu-sensei.|
 
 \s[2]\e[2|1]
 A sound idea, Nobuchika-sensei. There is no\n
 use in having information and not sharing it.|
 
 \s[5]
 Hmm... You have written books and scholarly\n
 essays, would you be able to help me as well?|
 
 \s[2]
 Only if you agree to be my co-author.|
 
 \s[5]\e[5|1]
 Nothing would make me happier!|
