Chapter 216 Spell Ranks
When he heard her speak he smiled as he agreed. ''So am I Seraphina, want to have some Zenian food?''
But she ignored him and attacked his neck again. Archer rolled his eyes as she carried the redhead who was using her sharp teeth to bite into him.
As he was walking he spoke to her as he shook his head with a smile. ''You're never going to change this habit of yours.''
He walked onto the balcony and noticed the bad weather, wind and rain was pelting it down.
When Sera felt the rain hit her she stopped attacking him and looked around. She jumped down and stretched.
Archer noticed her nightgown was getting wet from the rain, so he took out a cloak he had and wrapped it around her.
She looked up at him and smiled as the two watched the rain. Archer and Sera stood on the balcony, gazing at the pouring rain enveloping the domain.
Archer and Sera stood side by side on the balcony of their treehouse, gazing out at the torrential rain pouring down on the domain below.
The rhythmic sound of raindrops created a soothing melody, and the earthy scent of wet leaves filled the air.
The sky above was draped in dark, heavy clouds, and the rain fell in sheets, veiling the landscape in a soft, misty curtain.
Despite the downpour, the vibrant green of the trees and the colorful flowers in the domain still managed to peek through, adding a touch of life to the rainy scenery.
Archer felt the cool mist on his face, while Sera's long, red hair danced in the wind. They stood in comfortable silence, appreciating the beauty of the moment.
The sound of the rain was like a gentle lullaby, calming their minds and soothing their souls.
Sera reached out her hand, allowing the raindrops to cascade over her fingers. She laughed lightly, her eyes shining with delight.
Archer watched her with a tender smile, captivated by her joy and presence.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Sera said, turning to Archer with a contented expression.
He nodded in agreement. "Yes, it is," he replied, his voice soft. "There's something magical about watching the rain from up here."
They leaned against the balcony railing, their shoulders lightly touching. The raindrops tapped rhythmically against the wooden deck, creating a peaceful ambiance.
Time seemed to slow down as they savored the tranquility of the moment. They went back inside just as Ella walked out of the room, yawning.
She looked at the two of them and smiled, asking, ''Are you going to meet Hemera's father?''
As he was about to reply, they heard the girl in question's voice. ''Father is sorting out the mess and wanted to meet but can't find the time. He will meet once all this is finished.''
Archer gave a nod and extended an invitation, "Would you like to visit the library, Hem?''
The Sun Elf rubbed her eyes, and a big smile appeared on her face as she replied, ''Yes, please.''
Sera and Ella smiled as they made their way to wake up the other two and have a bath and laze around while the weather was bad.
Archer led Hemera up the stairs until they reached the library, and when she saw it, her eyes widened in awe as she looked around the room.
She approached the spellbooks he had already placed on the shelves and started reading them. After finishing, she turned to him and spoke, ''Archer, did you know spells have ranks?''
''No, I thought it had to do with the amount of mana one has,'' he said with a confused look before she smiled and motioned for them to sit down.
Archer sat, and she joined him, beginning to explain, ''In the academy, they use a system to measure spells from Rank one through seven. The spell you used last night must have been a Rank five or six.''
He nodded as he listened, and she continued, ''Most spells I use are Rank two or above, but Rank three spells or above are rare to find. Not many mages record their spells for future generations, but that didn't stop the academy from researching spells of all different ranks.''
After chatting, Hemera pulled out various books from her bag, but soon her golden eyes turned to him. ''Can I see your status, Archer?''
He looked at her with a raised eyebrow and asked, ''You can do that?''
She nodded and clasped his hand, whispering something. In an instant, her status appeared before him.

Archer felt shocked when he saw her status; he didn't know he could see others' status without his Analyze skill.
After examining it, he turned to her and noticed she was smiling, so he shrugged and gently held her hand as he showed her his status.

When Hemera saw his status, her eyes went wide, and she looked at him as if he was a monster, which annoyed him.
''Why are you looking at me like that?'' Archer asked.
Hemera shook her head, noticing his annoyed expression, and quickly spoke. ''Well, I've never seen someone with so many Elements and spells before. Also, most of your spells are Rank three or above, apart from Cosmic Shield and Cosmic Sword which are Rank two.''
She then started to think to herself before continuing. ''Cleanse is a low-ranked spell, but the rest I've never heard or seen before.''
Archer nodded his head and had a basic understanding of the Spell Ranks. They sat side by side in the cozy library of their treehouse.
Sunlight filtered through the leafy canopy, casting a warm glow upon the room. Shelves lined with ancient tomes and spellbooks filled the space, and the aroma of old parchment filled the air.
Hemera's golden eyes sparkled with excitement as she flipped through the pages of a particularly intriguing spellbook.
Archer watched her with amusement, admiring her curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
"Have you ever seen a spell like this before?" Hemera asked, pointing to an intricate illustration in the book.
Archer leaned closer to examine the diagram. "Hmm, it looks like a variation of an elemental fusion spell. Quite fascinating," he remarked.
After he learned a few more spells as the notifications popped into his view.
[Azur Cannon Learned]
[Azur Comet Learned]
[Flashpoint Learned]
Eventually, Archer realized the morning had passed, and he needed to greet the other girls.
He stood up with a gentle smile and said, "I should go say good morning to the others. Will you be okay here?"
Hemera nodded, still engrossed in her reading. "Of course! I'm having a great time exploring these spells."
Archer affectionately ruffled Hemera's hair and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead before making his way out of the library.
He headed to the main living area where the other girls were gathered, engaged in lively conversation and laughter.
When they all saw him, they smiled and walked over to him, giving him pecks on the cheek before returning to their seats.
Before he could speak, Teuila spoke up. ''Arch, I want to visit Mother and my sister Tausala for a couple of days. Ella and Sera are joining me.''
Archer nodded with a smile before replying. ''That's fine. I'll be traveling to the Lunaris Empire and will be away for a few days.''
The three girls smiled, and Nefertiti added, ''I won't be joining the little girls. I'll be heading back to the academy for classes. Arch, do you mind if I bring my bodyguards to the domain? They will be worried otherwise and will pester Father.''
The girls' plans were set, and Archer was content with their arrangements, he cast Gate to the Aquarian Palace.
