The students were seated in their seats, while the family members were currently standing. The room had around two hundred people with no wall inside, as there wasn't a limit to the number of guests one was allowed to bring in, and all of this was just in one classroom.
The teacher had walked in wearing the traditional style of clothing, a dark green-colored robe that slightly split at the bottom. It would drag across the floor, only his robe wasn't touching the floor. Instead, it was slightly hovering above it to not touch the dirt on the ground—an enchanted robe.
"No, this won't do," the teacher said, shaking his head as he looked up at all the parents. "Students, huddle up and come closer to the front. Stay in the same position that you are usually in, and family members, you are to stay in the back. Now please remember that today is still very much about the students, so please refrain from interrupting as much as possible."
The family members and students did as asked, shuffling about, moving to the back. However, one person in particular didn't move right away. Instead, the young white-haired man stood looking at the teacher in question.
'That's Professor Quartz, so he's still teaching here after all. At least I'm glad that the corruption of the academy didn't get to you as well,' Raze thought to himself as he hid his smile and began to move.
Being a professor, Raze was bound to run into more people that he knew and disliked, but he was happy to know that at least the class he was in now would be with one of the professors he got along with while he was here.
When Raze sat down, he had chosen a seat right up by the wall. This way, no one could sit on the other side, and he would just be next to one person. As for that one person, Alen had insisted that he be that person, pushing past the other family members who seemed to have no problem at all listening to his requests.
"I hope you don't mind," Alen said.
When Alen sat down, Raze scooched as close to the wall as he could, afraid he might touch him by accident. "I don't, but remember we need to stay quiet during the lesson."
Raze folded his arms, wishing to give the impression he wanted to stay distant, at least for the time being.Please visit https://novel-next.com website to read fastest update
"Alright, that looks a lot better," Professor Quartz said, pushing his glasses up with his index finger. "Now, I want to continue with the lesson that we left off with tomorrow and talk about Counter Magic…"
The professor went on to explain a few basic counters and why it was important for a mage to know so many different types of magic. After a brief explanation, he handed out a quiz to each of the students.
Moments later, rubbing the side of her arm, Kelly stood up for the others to see.
"Of course she would put 'Gust,'" Aurora commented. "The wind spell would cause 'Ember' to go all over the place; it wouldn't even be able to completely stop the attack."
This was common reasoning; it was why nearly none of the students put a wind spell when it came to fire spells as a counter.
"Kelly, do you mind explaining your reasoning for using the spell 'Gust'?" the professor asked.
Nervous, she looked around the room; she wasn't used to being in this position, but she had given her answer anyway because the reason for her answer was all because of her new 'brother.'
"'Gust' is a wind spell, and wind magic is one of the fastest magics to conjure. Although the spell 'Gust' might not completely get rid of the flames, it will be enough to stop the main attack, only getting hit with a few marks here and there. If one were to be in a fight, then using wind magic, they could follow up with another wind spell after. I chose this spell because I was thinking of how useful it would be in battle and what would happen after."
After giving her answer, almost immediately, the professor started to clap. His loud claps were filling the sound of the whole room.
"Now, that is exactly how I wanted you all to think when thinking about Counter Magic, that is a 10/10 answer."
Quickly, Kelly went to sit back down. She didn't want any more attention, and Aurora, she couldn't help but turn back around and look at her.
'That damn girl, what is she trying to do? Is she trying to say all of that just to embarrass me? She could have just moved on or something. What the heck? Does she think she's better than me just because she got one answer right?'
'You want to talk about counter magic, well, in a real fight, let's see how you guys will do then. I could beat you with just a few spells. You are not important in this world; you are nothing, so why the heck are you trying to stand out?'
The blood was pumping furiously around her body. This was her day, her day of glory, her day to show her family and others that she was also special. She was just as good as everyone else, and it was now being completely ruined.
The bell rang, marking the end of the lesson, and it was time for their next class, Practical Magic.
