Chapter 57: Magic Class (1)
Elysia and Evelyn returned to the main building area to head to the training field according to the study program schedule that was given yesterday.
There were already gathered many students eager to take magic classes even though it was mandatory for them to take part, only two people who only considered it just mediocre because they had done it a year before.
Teacher Ruth came right behind Elysia and Evelyn who had just come to the training field.
"Why don't you come in?" Teacher Ruth asked the two girls who were standing near the entrance looking around the training field.
"Good morning, Teacher Ruth." Elysia and Evelyn immediately turned around to greet the teacher who was wearing a white cape that covered a portion of her teacher's uniform.
"Un, morning. Please gather with your friends, the class will start in five minutes." Teacher Ruth nodded and walked towards the crowd of students in the middle of the training field.
Meanwhile, the two girls who felt they had seen enough of the training field followed Teacher Ruth from behind and immediately gathered together with four of their new acquaintances to chat about the heavy rain last night.
Teacher Ruth glanced at the students and found three people had not arrived yet, she folded her arms as she tapped her feet on the ground to wait a moment.
Before long, Serena walked into the training field with a bright and proud face while puffing out her chest slightly, her two servants following behind. They purposely come a little short on time for some reason.
After yesterday's afternoon class, it had made her seem like an important person as usual. Almost all the new students had become acquainted with her and made good connections with her, but provided they needed her and not the other way around. So, Serena can arbitrarily use them freely later, that's what she thought.
"It's good you're not late." Teacher Ruth smirked when she saw Serena come over with pride for some unknown reason, she could guess from decades of experience working as a teacher.
"Hohoho~ Of course, I'm always on time."
Serena closed her arrogant laughter with the back of her hand as she walked over to the crowd of students who happily welcomed her with welcome and praise.
"All right students, have you chosen wisely the three study programs that you should follow this year like I said yesterday?" Teacher Ruth as a teacher clapped her hands once.
"Yes, Teacher Ruth." The students answered with a similar answer.
"Good, now fill the paper with the three study programs you have chosen." Teacher Ruth distributed a piece of paper and a pen with her magic to all the students.
"Ely, what study program are you going to take?" Evelyn didn't immediately fill in the paper she was holding.
"I'm going to take a few classes, but for a minimum of three study programs... I'm going to take this." Elysia filled the paper which already had her name with what she had decided with Elena yesterday before showing Evelyn her paper.
"The Knight, Deacon, and Magical Research? Hmm... I'm confused about what to choose, so I'll choose the same study program as you~" Evelyn shrewdly wrote her choice based on the choices Elysia had selected on her paper.
"Oh my... Don't tell me if I force you later, okay?" Elysia just shook her head slightly at Evelyn who was cheerfully cheating on her choice.
"I won't regret it." Evelyn smiled when she finished writing, she had decided.
Meanwhile, Brian and David had deliberately stood close to the two of them and immediately added their choice to the study program Elysia had chosen without the person in question knowing about it.
After that, one by one the students returned the paper to the teacher.
"Magnificent, what about the homework I gave you yesterday? Have you managed to feel the flow of your energy with Hypmond's help?" Teacher Ruth put all the papers back in her [Space Bag] and saw some students were silent or confused.
She knew that some of the students still had not managed to feel and channel their magical energy to Hypmond. Therefore, she needed to slowly teach how to use Hypmond from the most basic stages.
"Alright, I'm sure you have familiarized yourself with your Hypmond. Let's start the magic class by using this tool from the most basic stage. You are aware that the magic energy in your body has awakened and what elements you mastered during enrollment. Now, close your eyes and feel the magic energy in your body, then slowly flow the magic energy into your hands and then to Hypmond."
Teacher Ruth took out her Hypmond and held it for all the students to follow before giving basic instructions and moving on to the next stage when she saw that all the students had successfully followed her instructions.
"Open your eyes and try to give a little turmoil from the magical energy you are channeling at Hypmond as if you are going to cast magic or try to throw that energy into something."
After the instruction was said by the teacher, from all the Hypmonds held by the students, a white magic circle appeared and only Teacher Ruth's was dark green.
"That is what is called a magic circle, an intermediary to make difficult magic easy to use. Now try channeling a little more of your magic energy and strengthening that magic circle into elemental magic energy that you have channeled to Hypmond."
One by one the students managed to create sparks, lightning, gusts of wind, and so on from the magic circle they had just created, they tried different things several times with the elements they already knew when they applied to this academy.
Only with this, some of them were excited and happy with the realization that they were already magicians, but there were still some of the students who still couldn't cast magic from their magic circles.
"It's great that you can convert your magic energy into elemental magic that matches your energy, but don't be happy just yet, it's too early for you to feel happy because it's all still the basics..."
Next, Teacher Ruth started explaining how difficult it would be to use magic without Hypmond's help for beginners. They needed concentration to channel their energy before forming a magic circle and manipulating their energy into elemental magic that matched their energy.
Hypmond is useful for reducing all those concentration processing tasks to cast magic easily. A magician no longer needed Hypmond because they were already adept at using magic in their own way and their brains were no longer burdened for this task of concentration.
When the user is proficient and skilled in using magic, they no longer need tools like this anymore. They can use magic directly without even shouting, magic circle, or anything.
