After Redrick uttered those words, nearly the entire class swiveled, their gazes locking onto the five newcors seated strategically in the center of the room.
"Who said these seats were good?" Beatrix whispered, trying sheepishly to shrink into herself.
"I said these were the best seats to see everything, according to my system," Liam hissed back, a blush creeping up his neck. "I didn't think about the fact that everyone would be able to see us!"
Redrick snapped his fingers. A loud, crackling fla erupted, blazing brilliantly for a mont and sending a surprising zap of heat through the room before flickering out of existence.
"Everyone, look to the front," Redrick commanded, his voice echoing with authority. "I only wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the guests we have in our room. Since it's the middle of the term, you should all take note of these individuals, because they, like you, have been awarded the chance to participate in Class A. They are your colleagues, as well as your rivals."
More stares, even more intense than before, zeroed in on them. And they weren't exactly pleasant, either.
"Today's lesson will be a particularly interesting one!" Redrick claid, a theatrical flourish in his voice. "As you all know, all academies, including ours, have moved to beco more combat-focused. In our trust as an academy, we have decided to grant you all your first practical battle enchanted equipnt, to enhance your fighting journey. And before that, we need a refresher on battle equipnt that can be used."
The luminous screen behind Redrick began to shift, cycling through a dizzying array of colors until four distinct objects appeared on one side, and a single item on the other. The objects, arranged from left to right, were a pair of gloves, a wand, a staff, an orb, and a sword. On the right, separate from the others, was an enchanted robe.
"Let's first talk about the standard equipnt that mages use. The two main items mages tend to wear are the robes and blazers," Redrick explained, gesturing to the enchanted robe on the screen. "The enchantnt on this equipnt differs from mage to mage. So focus more on protection, so focus more on enhancing aspects of their power. They're a major boost overall to a mage's power. The uniform you are all wearing is the sa. It has a protective barrier that will absorb levels of magic and will self-repair itself if damaged."
The screen shimred again, bringing up other items: rings, earrings, shields, and various other enchanted objects.
"Then we have other enchanted items, all of these used in so way to support the user in different aspects. Now, so of these items are considered artifacts. Artifacts can be enchanted items as well, but the major difference between an enchanted item and an artifact, at least as we differentiate them, is that an artifact is able to use powers beyond what a typical mage is able to enchant. Now I say a typical mage, do you know why that is?"
One of the students raised their hand, eager to answer.
"Is that because of Idore the Noble?" a student answered confidently. "Aren't all of his enchantnts so powerful, with their effects, that they're considered artifacts?"
"Yes, the Grand Magus, correct," Redrick affird. "There are other mages that can do similar things, but that's one of the clearest examples we have."
Redrick then waved his hand, and all the extra items on the screen faded, leaving behind only the original four that had first appeared.
"However, what we will be talking about today are the main items that mages use to help them out specifically in a battling sense. In truth, all items help mages in one way or another, but these stand out among others and are another staple in nearly all mages' arsenals."
Raze nodded along as he heard the explanation. It was certainly true, especially for the lower tiers of mages. However, when one reached eight-star status, the level of understanding of one's mana was so great, along with the control, that the enchantnts provided by these objects were next to non-existent. Although Raze had lost his star level when he had gone into a new body, there were two things he hadn't lost: his mana control and his vast knowledge, allowing him to cast spells just as easily as he could before.
"These items are used to help casting in multiple ways and often are enchanted. Today, you will have the choice to choose out of these items," Redrick continued, a hint of challenge in his voice. "So of them are enchanted in particular ways to boost specific elental abilities. Whether you go for one that matches your core or not is down to you. There might even be so artifacts placed among them, allowing you to do great things, but it won't be as easy as just picking out the weapons. We aren't a charity case."
Raze understood what he ant by those words, though he wasn't sure the other students did. Wherever they were going to select the items, there would have been a special enchantnt made in the room. Unless the item resonated with a user's magic in one way or another, as if the item itself chose its wielder, they wouldn't be able to select the item.
"The weapons match your fighting style. Gloves allow for quick casting of particular spells for a fast-paced fighting style. Second to this are wands; they can cast slightly more powerful spells but still at a good speed and a greater distance. Then you have staffs that are able to aid in casting the largest of spells. Lastly, there are orbs that focus more on defensive spells and more intrinsic setups in fighting, and there are magical swords which are left for those wishing to fight in a more unique way or style. Now, let's all choose our weapons, or should I say, let's see what weapons choose you."
