SSS-Ranked Skill in a New Filthy World-Chapter 52 Probability

’Magic is really interesting, I can see why Roman wanted to pursue magic and not girls, but don’t worry, now I’m going to fulfill your dreams and mine’

"So those seven are the only type of magic there are?" Roman asked.

"There’s one more, but people are still divided whether it’s under elemental magic or a magic type on its own, darkness," Sara spoke.

"Dark magic?" Roman asked.

"Yes, there was nothing like dark magic ever, up until Victoria Aldenworth awakened dark magic, she was the first human to awaken dark magic, and she quickly rose up to now be one of the academy heads"

"She’s now the head of the academy?"

"You haven’t heard of the academy head; they’re really popular," Diana said.

"There are two academy heads, and she’s one of them, but she didn’t become an academy head just because she has dark magic, but because she distinguished herself during the war with the demon general. She and the other academy head earned themselves the position" Sara replied.

"And they are freaking powerful; just to give you an idea, ten years ago, when the demon general attacked, both Victoria and Evelyn were at the battlefront, and back then, they were 20 years old, just fresh from the academy like us now," Diana spoke.

"I know I can stand my ground if something like that occurs, but I won’t be able to do even close to what they did," Sara said.

"So Victoria uses dark magic, and what magic does Evelyn use?" Roman asked.

"Fire and wind" Sara answered.

"Can you learn magic without going to the academy?" Roman asked.

"It’s possible since magic is recorded in spell books, all magic was first created by someone, so if a new magic is created, the person adds it to the academy library collection, but there are spell books that are available to the general public"

"Meaning if you don’t attend the academy, you won’t be able to learn high-level spells, unless you teach yourself which is almost impossible"

"To be a mage you have to attend the academy, attending the academy is like a shortcut since you have people who have already passed through your level, and they’ll show you exactly what you need to do to be a good mage"

"Can you learn a spell before awakening?"

"It’s possible, but there’s really no use to try. First, you don’t know what type of mage you are; if you are an elemental mage and you try to learn summoning magic, you won’t be able to, and the knowledge would be useless" Sara spoke.

"Hmm, so you just have to wait...but you said Victoria is the first person to awaken dark magic, how did she learn spells then?" Roman asked.

"She created all her spells herself; there are no spell books on dark magic; also, when you awaken, you learn a single spell according to the type of magic you have," Sara spoke.

"A spell?"

"Yes, the awakening ceremony was created by a mage of old, he’s referred to as the Founder of Magic, he was a Rune master who used his immense knowledge of magic to create the awakening ceremony"

"The awakening ceremony is simply a way to reveal what type of mage you are and grant you one spell" Sara spoke.

"Wait, how is that even possible, what type of magic did this founder of magic have?" Roman asked.

"All of it, he had all according to the legends, it’s been thousands of years ago, but it was said he mostly focused on Rune and Arcane Magic"

"The biggest question, the Founder of Magic is a male?" Roman asked.

"Yes, according to history"

’For a world the goddess designed to be perverted, it is really complex, and why isn’t the demon lord actually attacking humans? If he brought all his forces, I’m sure he’ll have wiped humans off the map.’ Roman kept his thoughts in his head.

"So can anyone other than the Founder of Magic use different types of magic?" Roman asked.

"It’s impossible, no human had ever been able to, magic is really complex"

"Also, all conjurers are Rune mages since it is used in the awakening ceremony, even the conjurer in this village; the way it works is only known by a few; even as a conjurer, you cannot tell another person the secret of the awakening ceremony" Diana spoke.

"You can’t? What would happen if you do?"

"You die" Diana replied.

"That’s enough about that; it’s no use learning why because even if you learn the secret unless you’re a Rune master, you won’t be able to put it to use, and besides, it’s not like a powerful spell that you can use," Sara spoke.

"True, thanks for teaching me; magic truly is interesting," Roman spoke.

"You should know a male attending the academy is good to be hard; you have to show you’re twice as powerful as a female to even be given a chance, but if you awaken an A-rank ability, you can have a really good life," Sara spoke.

"An A-rank ability is a pass; you’ll be snatched up by some noble family, and you’ll be paid to have offspring with their daughters," Diana said.

"Yes, my sister told me about that, is it because it increases the chances of birthing a powerful offspring?" Roman asked.

"Of course, if an A-rank female mates with an A-rank male, there’s a 90% chance that their child will also be A-rank and a 9.9% chance of being B-rank, why do you think noble families have stayed powerful"

"9.9, where did the 0.1 go?"

"There’s a 0.1 chance of birthing an S-rank mage" Sara answered.

"How many S-rank mages are in the entire kingdom?" Roman asked.

"6...I think it’s six; we got news from a friend that there’s a new S-rank mage from one of the Noble family," Sara answered.

’Then the chances of birthing an S-rank mage is lower than 0.1. I don’t know how many people live in the capital, though, so I can’t get the calculation correct; if I had a child with a female, would my god-tier ability count as an S-rank ability?’
