Chapter 41: New Spells
The teacher’s mood improved a little after hearing George’s words.
“Then it’s settled. The class has already ended, you will come with me to continue the training.”
After saying those words, the teacher modestly bowed to Yale, Yale’s status as Swordmad’s disciple made him someone worthy of the teacher’s respect.
Then, the teacher left the training grounds with George following him in silence, even if George was exhausted, he didn’t dare to complain.
Yale’s classmates saw and heard the whole scene and didn’t know how to react.
They had never imagined that behind Yale would be such a fearsome figure capable of made trembling a teacher from the Nacesai Academy.
The teachers in the Academy were respected by everyone even if not all of them were powerful.
The minimum requirements to apply for becoming a teacher in the beginner classes was reach the Rank 1. The payment was also excellent, so there were always some students who applied after advancing.
After that moment, they would also be representing the Nacesai Academy, obtaining a great background.
Of course, the academy would choose only the best among those who applied, but powerful teachers usually didn’t fancy the newcomers.
The only exception was the healing, poison and darkness lessons.
The academy was more restrictive towards those three for different reasons.
Healing was a very valued element, and thus the very few students who wanted to learn it should have a good teacher. Yale’s promotion was extra lucky because they had Ange’s master who wasn’t only a good healer she was one of the best healers in the whole city.
Poison and Darkness were dangerous elements, making mistakes when learning them could lead to death, so the Academy only let experienced teachers impart those.
The sword class teacher wasn’t one of the weakest teachers, but he also wasn’t a highly experienced one.
Given Yale’s prowess, for him having a master stronger than the sword class teacher wasn’t impossible in the eyes of his classmates, even if they were shocked by the exaggerated reaction of their teacher.
After the teacher and George departed, Yale also left the class and went to the Archery Battle Class.
Zack was already with the bow in his hand expectant to start the lesson, so he wasn’t in his chatterbox mode.
The lesson was almost the same as the previous day and finished without any surprise, Yale and Zack managed to get perfect punctuation again, and they were unable to break their tie.
However, Yale’s stats had increased since the previous Archery lesson; even if his dexterity hadn’t raised a lot, he should have surpassed Zack if both were at the same level of ability.
The fact that they were still tied showed that Zack’s pure archery ability surpassed Yale, but Yale used his increased stats to remain at the same overall level.
That wasn’t strange as Yale didn’t focus too much on his archery compared to the sword or the spells.
However, Zack lived for archery, the main reason he was slower to making a breakthrough than Yale and George was that he focused more on pure archery than practicing skills.
After the lesson, Yale didn’t go back to Ange’s house to train a bit before the start of the Magus Classes.
Instead, he asked Zack to teach him the wind spell to increase his speed.
In exchange, Yale also wanted to teach him a spell, but Zack said that he only wanted to speak about archery with Yale until the Magus Classes started.
To Zack being able to talk to someone nonstop about archery for almost an hour was far more valuable than learning a new skill.
Zack taught Yale how to use the spell, and just after that, he started to talk about archery while Yale was still trying to use it.
Yale needed to try it fifteen times before being able to use it correctly and trigger the system notification, his talent in the wind element was the worst of all the elemental affinities he had.
“The user successfully created the Magic Skill [Quick Wind]”
“Quick Wind Level 1: Create a magical wind that enhances the user’s speed. Wind Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 10.”
When the hour for the Magus Classes’ start neared, Yale ran towards the Light Elemental Class saying to Zack that he didn’t want to be late.
The truth was that Yale was regretting promising that much speaking time to Zack, if Zack wanted to speak non-stop for one hour, Yale thought that at least he should have asked for a Combined Skill.
Even if Zack never showed a Combined Skill in public, Yale was sure that given his talent he should have learned at least one.
When Yale entered in the class, he found that Aizu was reserving a seat to him.
“You don’t need to do this; we can be all in the first row as we’re only ten students in the first class.”
“You will teach me about swordsmanship. Reserving the best seat for you is the least I can do.”
Indeed that was the seat at just the center of the row and the nearest to the teacher.
“You don’t need to do that; I’m not asking you anything in exchange for the lessons.”
After Yale said those, he still seated in his reserved seat, that was a good seat, and he didn’t have any problem with sitting there either.
Aizu was really grateful to Yale, so she wanted to help him in some way. However, in the class, she couldn’t do anything more than securing the best seat to him.
The Magus Lessons were similar to the previous day; there weren’t any surprises besides Yale’s and Aizu’s breakthrough.
Aizu managed to wash away the shame from the previous day with a perfect execution of a lot of little fireballs, their size wasn’t big, but there was a considerable quantity of them.
Yale didn’t cast his Fire Ball as he considered it was too weak compared to Aizu’s. As for the wind class, as he had just learned the spell and had even less mastery than in the Fire Ball spell, so he didn’t want to make a laughingstock of himself.
In fact, no one would have laughed at him as he already learned a lot of different skills, Yale was too strict with himself.
Zack appeared in the Wind Elemental Class and showed that his mastery increased a lot in the Quick Wind spell. Fortunately, he didn’t disturb Yale, because Zack was happy as he had talked a lot with him before.
In the Water Elemental Class, Yale executed his Water Battle Armor, but he did it in the same way as in the Sword Battle Class, the liquid state was something Yale didn’t dare to show, the skill was already too shocking with only the solid part.
George didn’t appear in the Earth Elemental Class; Yale thought that the teacher of the Sword Battle Class should be teaching him at that moment and thus he hadn’t time to come to the lesson.
In the Thunder Elemental Class, Yale decided to show his Tri-sparkling Sword.
Even if that skill was still at level one, a Combined Skill with three hits was more extravagant than a Combined Skill which only infused an element to a weapon.
The second day didn’t give Yale the advantages the first day gave; Yale was even a little bored as he felt the teachers’ explanation were a bit repetitive.
Fortunately, the Healing Class was different.
The old woman was the only teacher who had the intention to teach spells to her students in the beginner classes.
Of course, to those in the 1-star, it was impossible to learn what she wanted to teach, it required more Intelligence and Wisdom than a 1-star mortal could have.
Her teaching was mostly directed at Yale and Aizu who were at the 2-star and at the same time had the two highest talents in the class regarding healing.
Of course, the other three students could remember what she explained and then using it to practice the spell afterward, even if the efficiency wasn’t the same.
If the spell were a self-healing one, all of them would be able to learn it, but the teacher always focused on teaching healing magic to heal others as that was the primary task of healers.
The old woman wasn’t as strong as Sainac or Swordmad but was definitely top-class regarding healing magic.
Hearing her explanations, Yale only needed five minutes to learn the spell successfully.
Yale had an incredible talent and very high stats, but to learn it that quickly had also a lot to do with the one who taught it. After all, the old woman was on a different level compared to any other teachers the beginner classes had.
“The user successfully created the Magic Skill [Basic Healing]”
“Basic Healing Level 1: Basic natural healing to the target. Healing Element. It requires 7 Origin Points. Mastery at level 10.”
Yale looked at the cost; it was much lower than Time Healing as he would be able to heal some injuries with only seven Origin Points.
However, it was still very high compared to other skills.
Aizu also managed to learn the spell although she needed twenty minutes. However, she barely had enough magic to cast it; she needed to train a bit more her magic before being able to use it without ending drained completely.
The old woman seemed satisfied with Yale’s performance, even if he was slower than Ange to learn Basic Healing, his speed was still extraordinary.
