Raised in Dungeon



Petronella stood at the front of the class, her gaze sweeping across the assembled students.

"Since you guys are already Praeterea, I'll assume that everyone has learned the basics of amnis. But I feel like I should explain about my own version of amnis," she began.

Petronella started her class with a brief explanation.

"Amnis means river; it indicates which stream is in our body. Which stream will we give to the elemental spirits by giving commands through chants or the amnis we want to cast. So humans can only use amnis when spirit exist. Fortunately, " Petronella continued, " Headmaster Eliphas has full control over the dungeon, so all the spirits are present in this academy."

Petronella gracefully drew a circle of amnis, the ethereal lines shimmering in the air. With a swift motion, she conjured a small fireball that hovered in front of her, only to vanish in an instant.

"This is the fundamental amnis, and it's also a mandatory skill. Do you understand why mastering basic amnis is obligatory?" she inquired, her eyes scanning the room.

Hallie raised her hand quickly, blurting out, "Because it has the shortest cast time and can launch a quick attack!"Please visit https://novel-next.com website to read fastest update

"I knew you'd say that, but unfortunately, that's incorrect," Petronella responded.

"Why? I'm positive about my answer!" Hallie protestested.

'What a smartass,' Petronella thought. 'She must always be challenging her teachers and championing righteousness.'

Petronella then directed her attention to someone with real-life battle experience in the room. And of course, he was,

"Allen," petronella pointed to him. "Why did I think she's wrong?"

Petronella asked.

Everyone looked at Allen,

waiting for his answer, though skepticism lingered in their eyes. 'How could he know? He's also a student who entered the academy without studying at secunda. The teacher is probably ignorant to put him on the spot,' echoed the unspoken sentiment among the students.

Allen replied, "I'm not sure,

amnis isn't my forte, but definitely not for a quick attack.

Such a small burst of fire is practically useless for an effective assault."

A basic answer that makes others think "oh right, why didn't I think of it?" and it made Hallie look at Allen cynically.

"Why was she angry?" Allen asked.

"Just ignore her, Allen. She just felt humiliated by the class because of you," Geirhild answered.

Rasheeda, the dark elf, gracefully raised her hand, taking the opportunity to contribute directly to the discussion.

"The utilization of basic amnis is used for daily life works. Apart from its practical applications, we can employ it as a diagnostic tool for determining which amnis is accessible," Rasheeda explained, her tone cool and composed.

Petronella confirmed, "Exactly," then she proceeded to draw another set of basic amnis, this time representing water, earth, and wind.

"Elemental spirits are not always around us, and we don't know when they are. Just now, Hallie was able to give a speculation like that because she only used the amnis in the academy, which could we confirm the presence of all elemental spirits.

But what if you're in the middle of nowhere? Or maybe in a dungeon?"

Petronella posed these questions to the class.

"For an enchanter, all one has to do is identify the presence of an elemental spirit. We can find out by using all the basic amnis of each element. If the amnis is active, then the spirit is there; if not, then it is not present around you," she explained.

"No matter how many times I try, the result is the same. At this rate, my mana will run out first," Sharik confessed.

"The point is you just need to empty your mind while thinking," Felicia explained.

"Wha-what? Empty your mind while thinking?"

"That's called calm. All you think about is the amnis you're going to launch in that short period of time."

Felicia demonstrated, and just like Petronella had done earlier, her amnis flame emerged sharper and faster. Onlookers watched with admiring glances.

Rasheeda followed suit, drawing a basic water amnis. What should have been ordinary running water transformed into a sharp, precise shot.

Observing the successes of others, Hallie couldn't remain silent. "Why can't I do it?!" she shouted in her mind, oblivious to the fact that such thoughts hindered her progress.

Meanwhile, Francis sat quietly, sharpening his sword, seemingly uninterested.

"Prince Francis, don't you want to try it?" asked one of the students next to him.

"I don't need to," replied Francis, seemingly unconcerned.

"Perhaps you can do it already!"

Francis, carried away by the praise of others, replied "That's it! I have no intention of showing anyone how it works! This is just basic amnis, my tutor had teach me in the castle."

"Amazing!"

"As expected of this royal prince!"

"I thought princes must all be geniuses."

Meanwhile, Allen.

He couldn't cast the amnis.

Let alone casting it, even drawing it gave Allen trouble. Difficult enough to make his head dizzy and break out in cold sweat.

"Allen, don't you want to try it?" asked Felicia.

"I-I'm trying."

Allen created an amnis circle, but his slow pace resulted in the mana dissipating before completion.

"Allen, what are you doing?" Felicia asked, confused.

'It's weird, my body feels heavier every time I try to use mana,' Allen thought.

"Is it possible that Allen can't do it either?!" Sharik exclaimed excitedly. "I thought so, we faculty fighters don't need to learn mana theory like this!"

"No, Allen should be able to do it, in fact, faster and more precisely than anyone else," said Felicia. However, she sensed something amiss with Allen. "It looks like he's just not feeling well."

'This is probably…' Allen guesed the reason of his headache. "My demonic mana overflowing inside the dungeon," he thought.

Because the academy itself was a dungeon, and in the dungeon, there was demonic mana, his use of divine mana was disrupted, making it difficult for him to use it

"That unsurprising thing we have here," came a voice from behind Felicia, walking towards them.

Felicia look behind, that was a man that previously sit next to Hallie, probably, Hallie's guard or something.

"There's no need to use the excuse of not feeling well. He can't use amnis, can he?"

"'Allen Boldenville,' from his name, he's your knight, isn't it?" said Hallie, appearing next to the man. "Get the family name because you don't have one, then the rumors are true, that you appointed a commoner as a knight, how pathetic."
