Rune Magic truly was a curious class. When Villin got into the room he was once more surprised. There wasn't even a single chair in the classroom. He saw so objects laying on the floor and a few small Magic Arrays. The teacher seed to be working on one of the objects on the floor while the students that had arrived before him were awkwardly standing at the sides of the classroom, unsure of what to do.
The teacher seed to be extrely old. He had white hair and was sitting while working on the object. Seeing how none of the students said anything, Villin walked up to introduce himself.
"Hello there professor, my na is Villin Grey, I look forward to learning from you."
This was a rather standard greeting bit it got the teacher's attention. The teacher turned back to look at him before he noticed the students that were standing at the side of the room.
"Tch, to think the students these days are so spineless they don't even dare greet their teacher."
He sneered before looking at the object he was working on earlier.
"In my class, nobody will be getting magic crystals. If soone does sothing impressive they will get an opportunity to prove themselves, if they succeed, they shall be rewarded." He said as he looked over all of the students here "Kid, Villin was it, here take this item, it seems to be broken, fix it!"
The teacher spoke in a commanding tone as he grabbed one of the objects on the floor before throwing it toward Villin.
After grabbing it out of the air skillfully, Villin had a decent look at the object. It had the appearance of a large magic crystal, it was about ten centiters high and four centiters wide and was refined nicely, it looked very visually appealing. Just as he was planning to study it further he heard Kayley who had walked closer, in order to see the object, let out a surprised gasp.
"A crystal holder, did the professor actually just gift you a crystal holder?"
As she said this, the red-haired beauty took out sothing out of her robes, it looked extrely similar to the object he had been given. And a mont later the number two-hundred appeared on it.
Villin then understood what the object in his hand was since it had been ntioned in one of the books he read before. It was a special kind of enchanted crystal that absorbs the power of regular magic crystals. It was used often, especially for people that were rich or of noble lineage. It made paying for things a bunch easier since if both parties had one of those there was no need to keep a bunch of magic crystals on you.
When you inserted so of your magic power into it it was supposed to light up and show the number of magic crystals it had, yet when Villin did this nothing happened. He tried feeding it one of his magic crystals but that was also to no avail, it seed to be broken, just as the teacher had suggested.
Said teacher turned to him again before saying just a few words "You have until the end of class." then he went ahead and pocketed the rest of the items that were laying around on the floor.
"Now all of you brats go take a seat and be quiet." with these words said so brown rectangles appeared on the floor, and similar to back in the hall where they arrived, chairs and desks ca out of the floor. "There are three sources of magic in this world. The least important one is the web, the second most important one is the natural magic around and within you and the most important one are runes!"
He said all of this in one breath before explaining the differences. It really was quite simple even though the teacher was extrely biased toward runes. While the teacher was speaking Villin inspected the Crystal Holder. There seed to be enchantnts covering the middle of the object, there were also so scratches in that part, breaking through the runes.
It usually wasn't so easy to destroy an enchantnt but it seed like the attack causing the scratches was magical in nature. There were about six runes affected, each of them getting partially destroyed.
At this point in ti, Villin felt extrely lucky that he took everything concerning enchanting and magic arrays with him. He quickly retrieved the enchanting book and pen and started scrolling through the pages. He had a rough idea of how the four unknown runes should look like but with a part of them gone, he couldn't be sure.
After so ti passed he now knew five of the six runes required to fix the item while the final rune had two possibilities. He couldn't express how lucky he felt the runes were on a flat part of the item making it so that no variations were required.
Now he spent so ti hovering his hand over each of the destroyed runes to try and feel the intent within them. Even though he could guess it now that he found them in his school book, it would be his first ti trying to properly enchant sothing and he didn't want to do it wrong. Even if it was just fixing an existing enchantnt, it wasn't anything easy.
Just like that ninety minutes had passed by and the end of the class was soon approaching. All this ti the old professor had been talking about runes, most of the things he said were already known by Villin as he read them either in the 'Rune Magic' school book or had to utilize it when enchanting.
When only twenty minutes were left Villin breathed in deeply as he grabbed the pen. Once he started fixing the runes he had to do so all at once, if he didn't and lost focus he risked ruining the entire enchantnt. Villin breathed in and out three tis slowly as his enchanting pen was writing the runes in the air.
Without him knowing the teacher had suddenly grown quiet as he also gestured to the other students not to say a thing. When a student would look into Villin's eyes at this point in ti their head would suddenly start hurting, even though it wasn't all that bad it still frightened them.
After he breathed in for the fourth ti, Villin's hand suddenly shot forward as he started writing the runes at a crazy pace. After half a breath passed Villin retracted his pen as he looked at the enchantnt. He felt slightly tired but at the sa ti also exhilarated. He could already tell the intent was there, he just didn't know if the final rune was correct of if he had picked wrongly.
With a nervously beating heart, he grabbed the crystal holder before letting so of his magic power enter it. His nervousness was contagious as everyone in the class seed to gulp nervously, staring at the object in his hands. A mont later a big zero appeared atop the object.
Villin breathed out in relief as he started smiling. A mont later soone started clapping, sothing that was soon taken over by most of the class. The first enchanting class hadn't even been held yet and he had already managed to achieve sothing such as this. There were so people who looked a bit pissed off at him as their pride kept them from congratulating him but most people here seed to be good in nature.
After a few second the old teacher raised his hand. He was extrely strict and so the class nearly instantly fell quiet.
"Well done boy, since you managed to fix it, naturally the object should be yours. And on that note, class dismissed."
After saying this the professor cast a spell before disappearing. anwhile, Villin was still looking at the crystal holder in his hand with awe. Looking at the enchantnts and materials used this object would cost well over a hundred magic crystals to make. In a shop, he estimated it would sell for two-hundred magic crystals.
Seeing an object of such value simply given to him, Villin didn't know how to feel.
