Element Magic
Chapter 4: The Academy
Chapter 4: The Academy
Two Months have passed since I took the entrance examination which turned out to be my fault for not following what Erika told me about how to enter the academy. I should have entered through the invitation line, and not the exam line. But since that was already the case, I could do nothing but accept it and begin to enter the academy.
At the academy, students will be given two options, namely staying in a dormitory or staying at home. And I prefer to stay at home because to stay in the dormitory is given a high cost in accordance with the quality obtained. That's why I prefer to stay at home, because besides my house is quite close, I can also spend my time with my parents.
And the day I wait for has arrived, the day that all the passers will gather and become a permanent student until graduation or expulsion from the academy. And also We were told to remain in the academy hall. And on the stage, Erika the headmaster stood up straight while looking at all of us with a slightly frightening aura.
"Welcome To The Undine Academy In Talnear City. The Kingdom of Lucytra and is the Second Largest City After the Capital! This Academy Was Built By My Ancestor, Erika Undine, the Water Hero Who Successfully Defeated the Demon King In Past Times. Introduce My Name Is Yuna Undine, The Current Principal." Yuna said on the magnificent stage.
Then, Yuna explained about the rules in this academy, and explained many useful things later on. Right after all the teachers took turns to deliver his message to us, the students who successfully completed the entrance examination as well as the nobles who entered through the degree path.
And lastly, the opening remarks of the students with the best grades in the exam. When the last part was about to start, the light suddenly turned to my seat. Then a voice said my name. In other words, it was I who would deliver the opening speech to all the students in the hall.
I walked slowly, but from a distance felt a very stinging aura from the direction of the entire student. I can assure you that they envy me for being elected, but I feel that this is very little bad for me. And also I felt a stronger aura than among the students, but I did not know exactly the location of the aura.
Next, I arrived on the stage and at the table was a piece of paper and written the opening words to be conveyed to all students. I spontaneously read the writing, and used the non-elemental magic [Sound] that I managed to develop and I made my voice heard in one large hall.
"Thank you so much for being called up to the stage to say the opening speech before starting a new life at the academy, I as the person who gets the highest score feel proud of the achievements I got. Therefore, I ask all students, all friends to try better and do not give up easily. So much from me." My reading.
After reading the writing, the entire hall was initially silent, then some of them were immediately shocked by the appearance of my voice everywhere. But it only lasted for a while and the Headmaster again took the attention of everything by using his water magic directed towards the entire hall.
That way, the show is over. We were asked to enter each class according to what we got at the time of the exam. I entered the Non-Element class together with Molda, and we decided to walk together towards the class.
I walked through the water class, then the fire class, the wind class, and then the land class. Then at the very end, I finally found a non-element class. From the outside, the wall is full of scribbles, then the door looks full of holes and even very fragile and easily destroyed. I looked inside and saw that everything had arrived before us.
From what I saw, there were 32 students including Me and Molda, but from what I saw, there were 18 noble students and the rest were commoners. Even so, I saw the faces of all the students become very moody, I don't know the reason exactly, but from what I've seen it seems like they're disappointed to have entered an outcast class like this.
"Loids! there's an empty chair. Let's hurry before someone else picks it up" Molda said, pointing out a chair at the very back and directly next to the broken window.
Molda and I walked towards there and passed the other noble children. But something that doesn't fit with what I thought happened. Those nobles look unconcerned with us, and instead look very pale. I don't know if the nobles of the past and present are any different, but they should be a little arrogant with their titles or feel that they are the most powerful. But I don't really care about it.
I sat by the window and put all my tools in the drawer that I could use in my dimension storage, but it will be so conspicuous that I will be made a transporter of goods by other classes and nobles.
Then a teacher came in, He looked tall with long black hair and also dark gray eyes. The teacher carried a pile of books in his hand and also wore a long magic wand. Then he placed his book on his table and then let out a long sigh and directly faced us.
"Alright, Everyone Introduce I'm your homeroom teacher, Larn Sebart. I was originally a researcher who researched ancient magic, and the results concluded that a lot of ancient magic that uses non-elemental magic or what is now commonly called Null. Null is not only one type, but many types, some can control space, create, and so on. But the problem with this magic is that most Nulls are personal magic, so this causes many Null Magic to disappear from the world." Obviously Master Larn.
"However, Null Magic can be learned by anyone as long as it has a spell. And right now the remaining Null Magic is space magic, to store a weapon with ease. Healing magic, cleansing magic, and others. And what's more, at the time of the ceremony was very surprising, a Null Magic that I just saw for the first time, Loid Astra's Personal Magic." It made everyone look at me.
I was confused at first but at the same time, I understood it immediately. I stood up and faced the teacher and said,
"I'll explain the magic I just used. The name of the Magic is [Sound], the Magic can control any sound, including my voice that can be reduced and enlarged. Then I can also negate the sound so that witches can't cast spells." I clearly.
"Very Interesting!, that Null Magic would be an extremely powerful magic, and it was perfectly suited to fight witches. But the drawback is, magicians who use grimoires can still launch attacks. So I can say it's still lacking to be used in combat. However it is very suitable for use in big events and so on. I want to ask her the spell, is it okay or not?" Said the teacher.
"Of course, no problem. The main mantra is, 'Voice', then the command mantra, 'Grow My Voice', then the complementary mantra, 'With Your Control'. That way, the spell is complete." My speech.
"Wait, hold on a second. Aren't you wrong? A spell with three lines with two words in line like that should be impossible. Are you tricking us?" Larn replied with a little suspicion to me.
"Voice, Raise My Voice, With Your Control, [Big Voice]" Rapalku
"DID YOU UNDERSTAND?!" connect me slowly but my voice immediately filled one room.
"Enough, enough. I understand that, your spell is amazing" said Master Larn as he covered his ears.
I looked around, saw that everything was closing my ears, and there were even people who fainted from my loud voice. Fortunately the windows did not break due to the resulting vibration. Then I sat down again at my place and waited for the next direction.
"Alright, back to the beginning. I'm here to teach you directly about Null magic. Before that, I'll give you the package book. O Handler of the Clean Room!, For The Blessing You Have, Move This Something, Based On My Will, [Transfer]" Right after the rap is done, suddenly a book appeared on the table of the entire student.
Everyone looked surprised, but I wasn't. Since this is the most basic spell of Space Non-Element Magic, by controlling space and eliminating the distance between the target and the object, then the object can be sent closer to the target.
"Now Open the First Page, And Learn...."
A few hours passed, suddenly the bell rang from outside indicating the time of rest has arrived. Teacher Larn immediately stopped his learning and asked all of us to rest immediately before the next lesson began.
I looked around, and it seemed that the others had gone before me, so I decided to go straight to the cafeteria to buy the food I was going to eat in class. However, when I arrived at the cafeteria, I was very surprised to see the canteen was very crowded because there were students in the first school year until the sixth school year. And luckily Molda bought two loaves of bread and shared them with me. He's a really good guy.
"By the way Molda, are you interested in learning Non-Elemental magic?" My toot.
"Well, because at first I didn't want to get into the Non-Element class, Because of destiny, I couldn't change it. But luckily I was able to use water magic despite being very weak. If you're interested or not, I think I'm more interested in learning water magic." Clearly Molda.
From what I saw from my appraisal magic, it was seen in Molda's body buried a hidden talent, namely Water Magic Rank A and Ice Magic Rank B. However, it was difficult for him to train alone. Therefore, I decided to help her in learning water magic up to that stage.
That way, I feel that this way will work. And again, by giving it a water element magic stone and telling it to absorb the magic stone can make the element strong, but only increase it for a day only.
But my trick, though, I will make him feel used to powerful magic so that when his body has been used to emit that much magic energy and as effective as that until the next experiment his body can follow the movement of magic energy well. So that the development of magic energy will increase rapidly and the possibility of Molda reaching Rank A can be easily achieved.
"I can teach you powerful water magic. Do you want to?" Much
"Hahaha, thank you for comforting me. You don't have the water element talent." She laughed a little because she didn't trust me.
"[Water]" I said to activate the spell
Right after that came the water in my palm that continued to flow nonstop until I stopped it myself. For a magic size like this, I don't need any spells and just need to cast magic and imagine it. But when I turned to the side, Molda looked very surprised.
"That's water element magic? It's great! There's no spell at all." Said Molda whose face immediately turned into awe.
"Originally you know, I can use all four elements. Just, please keep this a secret from the others. As a gift, I'll teach you how to use the water element appropriately." My reply.
"really? That was very nice. Is it possible for me to grow?" The look on Molda's slightly agitated face.
"Just calm down, as long as you try, I'm sure you'll be able to. Alright, first I'll teach you a short and powerful spell." My reply
"Oh yes, by the way, what is the difference with the spells commonly used? It's not that there's a theory that the longer a person's spell, the stronger and better the magic control." Clearly Molda.
From what I've heard, it should be the theory that makes magic in this day and age weak. The shorter the spell, the stronger the magic produced because each letter in the spell will drain the magic energy released as payment to activate the spell, this also applies to grimoires.
"I'll explain this. Spells are basically just a keyword to devote a magic. The more obvious the keyword, the more powerful the magic produced. However, if you lengthen the spell, you add the key word to drain more magic energy, and the result is less magic than normal magic." I clearly.
"In other words, you mean that by shortening the spell it will get stronger. How do you determine the right keywords?" Ask Molda back.
"If so, what do you imagine from the word Forest?" Much
"Trees, wood, leaves, twigs, maybe.." Reply to the mold while thinking hard.
"Well, if you imagine the word forest, what appears are trees, green leaves, and so on. How about imagining the word Tree?" Ask again.
"If the tree is a tree" said Molda in confusion.
"In other words, one word that has many meanings is better than one meaning only. This can be applied in a mantra, for example 'O Water!', then what comes to mind is like asking for water, then what about 'Who is calm'?" Ask me back
"Hm... If told to imagine, then what I imagine is to beg for calm water" he replied
"True, then what do you imagine with water?, something flowing, and calm" I said spontaneously to Molda's surprise.
"Y!! Really Once!! That way, the spell should work just fine. Rather than making it long, it was better to make it short with the same meaning." Looks like Molda has understood what I said.
"Yes, thank goodness you understood that. Tomorrow after school, I'll teach you the spells. Besides, because today is the first day of school, you must have a lot of activities after school. Lose me, well will eat together with my parents to celebrate my first day of school." I said with spirit.
"I am. of course... I also have a lot of things I need to do after I return" he said with a slight gloom.
"Then, I'll wait for you tomorrow" I replied.
And after a while, suddenly the bell rang again without me noticing at all. And a few hours passed, until the time came home. I hurried to run towards my house. Today is very different from the days before.
And also one mistake in the past, I've solved. And I'll soon solve my next mistake. However, there is still a lot of time before finishing it, is not it better for me to enjoy this new school period.
A few moments later, I arrived home. I held my robe tightly and went inside. As my feet stepped, and right after landing my feet at home, there was a lively sound from within. My father and mother welcomed me so openly.
"Welcome Loid, How's the school going? Have you made any friends yet?" I get a lot of questions from my mom.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" My father spontaneously asked nonsensical things.
"Where is it, anyway I just made one friend." Reply with a little annoyance.
"Your friend must be a good boy huh, how about inviting him tomorrow" Pinta My mother.
"Of course, that was my plan from the start. I'll get him to practice magic tomorrow. So prepare a festive event ma'am" I said with a smile to my mother.
After that, the dinner with my parents began. I spent a lot of food, because food is one way to recover magic energy other than sleep. And of course, after I went to school, my family received an allowance given by the principal to keep me in school.
That way, my first day at the Academy has finished.
