"Advance elents are the higher form of the basic elent, but lightning and space elents, despite being basic, are still considered advance elents. Anyone knows why?" Elsa asked the class.
Eva raised her hand, making the whole class turn to look at her. "Yes, Eva Williams," Elsa gestured her to stand up.
"Out of all the elents, those two can only be learned by people who are born with the affinity to use them," Eva answered precisely, making Elsa smile and sit back down.
"Exactly, but there is one more issue with the space elent. Alyssa, will you explain?" Elsa ordered.
"Using the space elent is killing yourself. The amount of strain on the mind the spells put is considerably higher than other elents. That is why there is no mage alive that has reached SS Rank with space elent affinity," Alyssa calmly answered, as she knew about the space elent the best.
So students even laughed at Alyssa, calling her a mad b*tch and whatnot. It was one case she didn't know the consequences of using the space elent, but she used it like normal. The reason nobody was ssing with her was that her acts were like a crazy person who didn't care what happened to them.
"Silence. You can sit down. As she explained, this is the reason why spatial magic is only used with runes inside magic engineering and artifacts. There are still spatial mages, but nobody has lived past 30 years in all of our history," Elsa explained.
"Now coming back to Advance elents, there are several such elents like Ice, lightning, Mist, etc. Normally, a B Rank Hunter who is a mage can also cast Ice magic, but this doesn't an that he was born with an innate talent to cast that elent."
"Advance elents are all about Innate Talent. For example, I was born with Innate Talent for the magma elent," Elsa raised her hand, and a ball of fire that turned into molten lava shortly after appeared in her hand.
The small ball was enough to raise the temperature of the whole room as students could feel the heat waves hitting their skin slightly. But Elsa removed her spell shortly after.
"Then, apart from elents, there is a subcategory called Miscellaneous Magic. This type of magic does not fall under any type of elents and is the rarest and most versatile form of magic you can have. But, sadly, unlike elents, only people who are born with them can use such magic."
"The best example is two of your classmates who are present here, Alia Greville and Eva Williams," Elsa pointed them out, making them stand out.
Alia had her augntation magic, and Eva used barrier magic, but that didn't an that there were no others who could use Miscellaneous Magic. Asher knew that there was one more person here with such abilities.
"As you see, there are so transparent orbs in front of you. These are called affinity orbs which display all your major elental affinity. Each of you will now put your hand on these orbs, and it will tell which elent suits you the best," Elsa said as everyone started to put their hands on the palm-sized orb in front of them.
Many already knew their elents, and the most common elent that everyone had compatibility with was fire, and then water and so on. There were no students with the lightning elent, but so had rare elents as well.
Elena surprisingly had affinity with all elents except the black elent and the space elent. This shocked Elsa a bit, but she didn't show it.
Eva had affinity with three elents - fire, earth, and wind.
Alyssa was compatible with fire, water, and space, which Asher already knew.
Gavin Neville was an oddball who was the only one who didn't have fire elent affinity but had an affinity for so of the other elents.
Alia was compatible with fire, water, and wind, which was a common result, but it didn't matter to her, much like Eva.
Asher put his hand on the ball, and the ball showed a murky grey color then turned black. He knew he was compatible with the Black elent, but then the orb turned a bit purple, making others a bit surprised as this was the color for the space elent.
"Woah, wait, he also has the space elent," this made many whisper around the class.
Elsa's face turned into a frown as she saw Asher's result, but she kept quiet. Alyssa was different because she had a minor space elent that was gravity, but Asher's elent affinity was pure space elent.
People with pure space elent affinity had a hard ti controlling their emotions, and they were generally unstable, but Asher had always been indifferent and cold.
"It doesn't make any sense," Elsa couldn't think of any possible answer.
And the last result was from the Princess of Halcyon, who was sitting in front of Alia and Asher.
Her orb was also black like Asher's, and then it turned into a bright orange, displaying her affinity with fire. She had only two elents, which surprised others as she was considered to be a rival of Elena Rothschild from rumors.
"Wait, that's it, is there sothing wrong with the orb," such words could be heard as students started whispering.
"Okay, moving on, I will teach you about the flow of mana as a mage, which is similar but also different from other hunters," Elsa said as a diagram of a human inner mana circulation appeared behind her.
"As you guys know, to emit strength, a person usually emits the mana through these channels to amplify and dense their aura," Elsa pointed at the outermost part of the mana veins.
She started explaining how a mage used the similar mana circuit, but the usage of application was different. The main emphasis was on spells, or simply the structure of the magic needed to perform.
"As for a fireball, the easiest to cast, it has three steps. First is finding the elent needed, second is visualizing the spell itself, and third is using mana to weave that structure."
"Each step requires so calculations that you need to do in your mind, like predicting the amount of mana supplied and the output that you need, and the output you get."
"As you increase the difficulty of the spell, for example, turning a fireball into a firestorm which only a B Rank Mage could do, it is impossible to do that in 3 steps. Complexity of the spell will increase with the increase of the power it can emit," Elsa said, but Asher knew that this explanation was not true.
He had already seen a mage who could perform such spells with ease, shortening the amount of calculations and complexity to a minimum. Asher had seen the true power that a mage could emit.
But Elsa was not wrong; it was just that the guy Asher was talking about was simply a genius.
And Asher could see that his mana veins had changed vastly from what a normal human could achieve. He knew that he could both emit aura and perform a spell together without decreasing the efficiency of either of them.
"But there is one other way to cast a high-tier spell without doing it yourself. You can use an artifact, although the amount of mana required is lower than doing it yourself, you cannot control the output of the spell," Elsa kept explaining other things that made so of the students a bit sleepy, but others were attentive.
< Magic Mastery Unlocked -> Novice Rank >
Asher did not mind the novice rank because he knew the way to shorten the complexity of the steps required in each spell. Although he could not produce similar results, it didn't matter to him that much.
What he actually wanted was to increase the mastery of his sword arts, and he knew that he would soon break to the next rank. It was his instincts that were telling him that he was quite close to opening the next gate of the mastery of his sword art.
[ Node Art is Resonating with Magic Mastery ]
The class was over, and Asher was heading back to Block 1 with Alyssa. [ Beast Theory ] was a common subject and was not a joint class.
"Alyssa, how did your class go?" Venessa said as she sat beside Alyssa.
"Normal," Alyssa said as she sat down on her seat.
But before Venessa could say anything else, a man wearing formal clothes entered the class. He was wearing glasses that were coated with gold.
"I am Professor Gilson, and I will teach Beast Theory for this year," Gilson said, making the whole class pay attention to him.
Gilson looked over the whole class and saw Asher, who had his eyes closed. Gilson could feel that Asher was practicing mana circulation in his lecture. Although it infuriated him, he did not have enough authority to do anything to him.
Gilson was a 1-star Professor, so his authority was equal to the Student Council mbers.
But as he saw a pink-haired girl who was wearing a tallic mask, he was even more frustrated.
Although his authority was not much in World Academy, Gilson was from a fairly influential family himself. But now that his authority was below Alyssa, who was related to the Garcia Family, he felt insulted.
"Before we start, let's talk about the structure of our world," Gilson started a lecture as a map appeared behind him.
"There are 5 Continents: Somaria, Desmar, Fashia, Halcyon, and Belvoria."
"Somaria is known for its sumr and grassland climate, and the infamous lost lands."
"Desmar is famous for its winters."
"Fashia is famous for its desertland and their famous underground cities,"
"Halcyon is famous for having the most dungeons, but they also share the lost lands with Somaria,"
"And last but not least, Belvoria, also known as the Water Continent,"
"As you know, each continent has 3 Elite families that represent their continent, and we have a total of 15 Elite families,"
"They are part of the High Council, but can anyone tell what the High Council is?"
A boy raised his hand, and Gilson allowed him to answer his question.
"High Council is the gathering of 22 Seat Holders," he answered.
"Yes, 15 Seats for Elite families, 3 for World Association, 2 for Mage Association, 1 for Artisan Association, and the last was given to our principal,"
"Originally, the High Council only had 21 Seats, but when World Academy was created, 1 Seat was given to our principal," Gilson said, but the students were confused why they were talking about this in Beast Theory class, but Gilson ignored their confused faces.
"High Council decided most of the rules and is called the Ruling Authority of our world. Each Elite family has the voting power of 1/2, compared to the Associations and our Principal. This was done to maintain the system of our current society," Gilson explained.
"Now, you must be confused about why I was talking about Elite families. It's because we will be studying Dungeons and we will also be discussing bloodlines, which are generally found in the mbers of the Elite families," Gilson's spoke and his words made Alyssa frown.
