NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 30: How the hex art works
### revised chapter ####
Xane asked Zayn, [So are we just going to sit here?]
Zayn shook his head and took the ID from his pocket.
Xane asked in a serious tone. [And how are we going to do that? Do you know any way to resolve the problem?]
Zayn shook his head.
With that, Zayn's hands started dancing on the ID.
Xane just stared in shock as the single screen split into multiple screens before his eyes.
It was like the screen of some advanced smartphones.
He asked in shock, [How the hell do you do this stuff?]
Zayn continued to look through different screens and said,
Xane didn't know what to say to that. He just quietly waited for Zayn to choose.
Not long after, Zayn zoomed in on one page. Xane read the title: [The Cursed Property of Mental Corrosion.]
Xane looked at the massive page and complained, [Don't tell me you've read this entire thing.]
Zayn shook his head.
Xane's eyes moved around as he tried to find the relevant section, but there were just so many foreign terms that it all went over his head.
Not long after, Zayn leaned back.
Xane stared at the page and asked, [Okay, explain to me what we're dealing with.]
Xane read it through and asked, [Oh, so we just have to stop this fog from entering our brain?]
Zayn shook his head.
Xane quieted down and just stared at the half-empty classroom.
He saw a few students glancing at him, but he didn't care and just read through the rest of the chaotic fog explanation.
After going through the last details, he asked, [Okay, so how can we deal with this?]
Zayn tapped on the table and said,
Xane asked in surprise, [Wait, we can use multiple hex arts?]
Zayn rubbed his head.
He switched to the introduction of hex arts.
Xane just stared at the list blankly. [That went all over my head.]
Zayn paused for a bit and then looked toward the empty podium.
Xane asked in confusion, [Okay, then what is this Art of Hex Invocation that she talked about?]
Xane asked in an uncertain tone, [Is it like the difference between the type of martial art and a specific martial art?]
[I mean, like in martial arts, there are blade arts, sword arts, spear arts, and so on. Then within them, there's something like slashing martial arts.]
Zayn tapped on the table.
Xane said in realization, [In that sense, the martial art of slashing would be the complex hex art you're talking about.]
Zayn smiled.
Xane thought for a bit and said, [Okay, so if we talk about the Core Hex Art of Cursed Weapons, then learning how to use hex energy with different types of weapons—like swords, spears, and so on—should be the second category, right?]
Zayn smiled. He didn't know if he was just an excellent teacher or if Xane was naturally smart.
He mentally patted himself on the back and said,
Xane glanced at the door as he saw both Liam and Samuel walking out of the class.
[Well, if we're talking just about theoretical concepts, then sure. There are 11 core hex arts → their major arts → minor arts.]
Xane thought for a bit and said, [Okay, by that logic, this Fire Glove should be based on the Core Hex Art of Invocation. Then the major art should be fire-related arts, right?]
[In that sense, we can only use chaos-type attacks.]
Zayn nodded,
Xane paused for a bit,
Zayn shook his head.
Xane mentally nodded.
He was starting to understand what she meant by the five things that affect hex art.
Just to be clear, he asked, [Zayn, what would happen if we were to use the same Fire Glove art?]
Zayn shook his head,
Xane cursed, [Fck. Don't tell me we're also going to face trouble finding suitable hex arts.]
Xane sighed. [Oh, that's a relief. By the way, I was asking—let's say we do have the fire element, and then we use the same Fire Glove art. What would be the result then?]
Zayn thought for a bit and said,
[Is that the one the House of Zenaris Master belongs to?]
Xane thought for a second and asked, [In that sense… is Luna weak? I mean, fire isn't suitable for freezing. Her element contradicts her hex property.]
Zayn waved his hand up and down.
Xane froze. [Death? That's a basic element? What the hell is the main element of the Ice Desert?]
Zayn switched the page.
[Fck… controlling death is definitely higher than death itself.] Xane had no complaints about that.
He looked at the screen and saw that Zayn had opened the list of available mentors.
It hit him that he had gotten sidetracked, so he asked, [So you were talking about the two core hex arts, right?]
