Chapter 121: Comforted Soul

"Alright, now cast your magic at the wooden targets in the order from the front. After this, we will create a study group that is specialized in three different kinds of learning methods." Teacher Ruth looked at all the confused students as if she understood, then she continued her sentence.

"Those who are already proficient in magic energy will continue normally with me. While those who are still unfamiliar with magic energy will be specially trained by Dottie and Buddy in the early hours and extra hours. Everyone understands?"

"Teacher Ruth, if we belong to the group trained by Shadow Teachers, will we be left behind by the other students in learning magic?" One student asked swiftly. He felt it was quite unfair and became favoritism towards those who were already proficient.

The students knew that the Shadow Teachers were the companion teachers of the primary teacher. They were devoted to teaching with a more individualized approach. If that was true, wouldn't they fall further behind the main lesson?

"Good question, but all of you need not worry. Dottie and Buddy are very good at approach and psychology. They will be of great help to you, especially in the initial two hours and two extra hours if you want. The final two hours will be filled with major magic training. So, there won't be anyone left behind." Teacher Ruth immediately explained the common question lightly.

"Yes, so in magic class for the next 4 hours. The initial two hours are special groups, and the other two hours are the main magic training. An extra two hours will be given to the non-proficient if you wish." Buddy just added and clarified what Teacher Ruth said.

"Un. You can also use the empty training ground to practice any time you want, not only during magic class. Don't worry about backlashes because while you are in this academy, all the fluctuation of magic energy will be monitored. As long as you don't overuse your magical energy, then you will be fine." Dottie brought her palms together with a smile.

After that, the confused students immediately asked questions until they finally understood this effective teaching method. The regular class remained 4 hours and 6 hours for the non-proficient in magical energy if they wished it.

However, they were actually allowed to use the training ground to practice magic outside class hours! Some of them didn't know yet. It was good news because the unskilled use of magic outside the academy was discouraged for their own good.

The initial thirty minutes were filled with 295 students who took turns in lines to cast their magic at wooden targets. Then, three rows of groups were created temporarily and separated for different classes of study.

"Ely, I'm glad I was declared proficient in magic and still in the same group with you, hehe..." Evelyn giggled. She managed to make a mini wind spear and break a bit of the wooden target.

"Nice to be with you. Ah, Eve has leveled up, and she is instantly proficient at magic. I feel weak." Elysia covered her mouth with her palm gracefully.

"Ah, ah... Not that again. You detonated a wooden target and burned the whole one. I should be the one who should say 'I feel weak' and not you." Having said that, Evelyn was not offended by her best friend's jokes. She actually smiled so sweetly just because her magic had worked so well.

"I'm glad you're good at magic, Eve. So we can study in the advanced material. I wonder how they combine two or more different elements of magic."

"Oh? Why do I feel like you said it by excluding yourself?" Evelyn tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah, my fault." Elysia slightly shook her head.

What she said was really out of curiosity. Her magic had worked so differently. She just wanted to know how compound magic worked for them. Not to mention, Reinforcement Magic and Enhancement Magic.

"Congratulations all of you who are declared proficient in magic, but don't be proud of that. You have a long way to go. Right now, we are going to enter into greater magic. Do you know how magic energy works to follow our will?" Teacher Ruth spoke firmly to the students, who looked proud.

"We use the magic energy from our bodies and create an intermediary for the output magic outside our bodies. All of that is controlled with concentration and understanding of what we will make using magic energy, ma'am?" A student who appeared to be knowledgeable answered rather thoroughly.

"Yes, the key is concentration and understanding of what elements and magic you want to use. Your magic energy is more than enough to make the magic with bigger things, and not just a wind spear with the size of an arrow or a ball of fire as big as a marble--"

Teacher Ruth explained in a bit of detail, then got all the students in her group to use full magic with closer guidance.

One by one and one step at a time, the students were trained gradually. They experienced an excellent individual approach in the initial training.

With the right effectiveness and method, they could make a fireball with a regular ball's size, or a wind spear with the real measure to match its name, and much more.

Unfortunately, all of this was entirely incomprehensible for Elysia. She just followed in pretense and returned to her own understanding in her mind with Elena.

She only used this time to properly control her magic and train her concentration plus imagination to a higher level. So, the magic she used would match her expectations.

'Ah, today's class feels so smooth and relaxed. Lil Ely, isn't it time for you to tell me what happened last night after I asleep? If you keep leaving me in suspense, maybe I'll look into your memories?' Elena asked in favor of the previously delayed topic.

'Uh? Can you do that too? Then, I won't be able to have secrets? Well, don't do it without permission, and we'll be at peace.' Elysia wryly smiled as if it could really happen.

'Hehe... Don't worry, all your secrets are safe with me. I also can't and won't leak it to anyone. So, the story?' Elena giggled softly.

Elysia saw that she could passively take magic lessons for a while. Teacher Ruth was there guiding students who wanted to cast their magic even better.

The spot was right, and the situation was favorable. She immediately told her story and poured her heart out to Elena about last night's incident.

From the moment she entered the city on the border of the region with an identity that followed Sylvia, the Devil Emperor exposed his identity that didn't seem to mind the scenario.

Everything that Elysia felt and thought was conveyed in the form of an extended confession to Elena. The story was finally over until she returned to the dorm room.

'Ah, Lil Ely, why don't you have the heart to wake me up? I told you, right? Please wake me up if you need me. Uh, poor Lil Ely. We have to punish that rude Devil Emperor later. How dare he touch and scare my sweet little sister.' Elena spoke gently after the narrative and story of Elysia's long chorus.

Last night was a long night, and she wasn't there for her Lil Ely. It was not allowed to continue or repeat itself.

'Um...' Elysia didn't correctly answer Elena's question, or instead couldn't answer it.

'Wake me up next time, okay? I'm always there for you, remember? Do not hesitate, actually I would love to be awakened by my sweet little sister.' Elena spoke softly like a big sister who was kind and caring.

'Uhm...'

'Answer me, with a word, yes, please.' Elena only asked for the answer she wanted.

If Elysia didn't answer with the right word, she would definitely do it again. She just didn't want to be bothersome and troublesome. Due to Ali's past from childhood to adulthood, Elena had to enter stage two of Elysia's inner recovery.

Although Elysia never spoke candidly about herself, complained of pain, drowned in sadness, or anything about what she experienced when she was Ali... Elena knew very well about Elysia when they were on Earth. Her Lil Ely cried inwardly, and Elena was just as a spectator who couldn't do anything to save the wounded soul.

'Yes, I will.' Elysia answered in a small voice.

'Ah~ That's my Lil Ely. Don't be sad and don't be afraid. You are strong, and it's true. I'll try not to sleep as long as you don't sleep either. That way, something like last night won't happen again.' After saying that, Elena immediately thought of a way to punish the Devil Emperor.

'Umm, you know. This morning I made pizza too and got a business idea from Eve and Ella.' Elysia changed the topic to ideas this morning.

She was comforted and felt better by receiving support from her guardian angel. Now, it was time to get away from being perceived as weak and helpless by herself, as Elena and Vanessa suggested.

Elena wasn't aware of the significant progress Elysia's mind had made just because of her presence, and it had soared to new heights.

'Wow? Is it true? Are you going to become a new master businessman in this world?' Elena immediately returned from her train of thought and got into the topic of conversation with the cheerful Elysia.

'Err... Maybe now a businesswoman...'

After that, Elysia and Elena chatted for another hour of fun and exciting chats, business plans, and bright ideas. Without realizing the magic class had reached its end. Then, all the students gathered again in the middle of the field.
