CHAPTER 220: MORE CLASSES

After several minutes of lecture, Alex had gotten a new understanding of mana and how it worked, they had also copied a lot of materials that they could study on their own later.

Ellie also told them that if they had any questions or were confused about something, they could come look for her later and she would explain it to them.

"That will be all for today’s class. Now take a look at the board." Ellie said and everyone looked ahead.

On the board, words began to appear rapidly; it was the timetable for first-year students.

The various classes were scattered across the week, some appearing throughout the five days of learning, while some only appeared on some days.

Ellie told the students to quickly memorise the timetable or copy it down so they could remember when they would need to attend classes.

Alex also wrote down the timetable even though he had already memorised it with a single glance.

From the timetable, he still needed to attend three more classes for the day, and his next class was spell structure, which was a private class for only students with the space element.

Since they were done with today’s learning in the general mana knowledge class, the students all left for their next class.

Reaching outside, Alex went in search of the space element spell structure hall. He soon found it after looking around for a bit and entered.

Alex was shocked to find out that he had over fifty classmates in this class. He didn’t expect other students with the space element to be so many, some of them had even reached the Expert mage rank!

Their instructor was a woman who looked like she was in her early thirties, she was a space mage as well and was at the Archmage rank.

She introduced herself as instructor Bree.

The first thing that instructor Bree did after the students settled down was to call an attendance just like Ellie had done earlier. The students stood up one after the other and announced their names, the names then magically appeared on the file that instructor Bree had brought out.

After taking attendance, instructor Bree went straight to teaching. She talked about the basics and fundamentals of the space element.

In essence, the strength of one’s space element was tightly related to the strength of their mind which would grow stronger after they broke through a sub-stage or a major rank breakthrough.

In other words, when a mage at the low stage Adept rank and a mage at the mid or high stage Adept rank used the telekinesis spell, the strength of both spells was meant to be different.

The stronger one was obviously the one who was at the mid or high stage of the Adept rank.

However, there were other cases where some mages were born with stronger minds, causing their spells to be stronger than their peers or even those of higher ranks.

It was also possible to train one’s mind to grow stronger but that was a painfully slow process compared to breaking through sub-stages or ranks.

Throughout the entire 40 minutes plus of lecture, instructor Bree only talked about these things to the students, but it was a whole new world to Alex as he was receiving new information that he felt was valuable.

After all, he didn’t get to learn much about the space element back at the Dragonic Magic Academy since they didn’t have any instructor with the space element.

They just had a few books about it in their library which they had purchased after getting a student with the rare space element.

Leaving the hall after the lecture ended, the next class was general magic knowledge which was a mixed class.

Alex had to return to the hall where they had learned about mana from Ellie. As they had been told earlier, this hall would be their permanent lecture hall for mixed classes for the rest of the year. So all of the students who were present during Ellie’s class had come back for their third class of the day.

The instructor in charge of teaching them General Magic knowledge was instructor Dave whom many of the students were already familiar with.

Again, there was an attendance taking before class started.

What instructor Dave thought today was the effect of awakening. Signs and changes that happened in one’s body when they were about to awaken and after they had awakened.

The students learned that their bodies would already start to become stronger than the bodies of ordinary people when they were about to awaken, and their sensitivity towards mana in the air would change.

However, this was usually ignored because most people didn’t pay attention or the changes would be too little for one to even notice unless there was a mage nearby.

That was all they learnt in the general magic knowledge class that day. It was useful information, especially to Alex because his sister was going to awaken soon.

He planned to go back before that time and check if she was showing signs because, apparently, showing signs before awakening meant that the chances of awakening successfully were very high.

After all, they had learned that it was still possible to fail the awakening even though one had shown these signs.

Showing the signs just greatly increased the odds and made it nearly impossible to fail; there was only a 0.1% chance of failure.

Some time later, General Magic’s knowledge class ended, and it was time for Alex’s last class for the day.

This was only for Alex by the way. Other students still had other classes after their fourth class.

As for Alex, he only had four classes on Monday, the rest of the week, however, was different.

There was even a day when he had to attend all of the classes that he had picked because they appeared that day. Luckily, they didn’t overlap with each other so attending all of them was possible.

For his fourth class today, Alex had the basic formation knowledge class.

Alex arrived at the hall where his last class for the day was going to take place. He was about to push the door open when a burst of light flashed on the door and the words "full" appeared on it.

Alex was stunned for a moment to see the formation on the door. As expected of a class teaching about formation, it wasn’t surprising for them to use it in such a way.

This meant that this hall had reached its capacity of students and Alex should go to another hall. There were many students, and it was surprising that many of them had chosen to learn about formation.

Since there were other halls for this class, Alex didn’t mind and went to another hall where basic formation knowledge was being taught.

Luckily, this hall wasn’t filled up when Alex arrived and there was still space for more students to come in. He took a seat and waited for class to start.

Some time later, the instructor appeared in front of the class using a formation. This startled the students but also got them excited, as expected of an instructor who was teaching about formations!

Alex recognised this instructor as well. He was the one who was controlling the formation during their admission test, Instructor Henry.

"Let’s begin, but first...we’ll take attendance."
