''This should keep you from any mishaps.'' Alex thought and then refocused on his students.

    ''Most are already done with their void creature. The rest should be getting used to the beatings. It should wake them up soon.''

    True to his words, once the students realized their fears were not helping them, they resolved themselves to fight.

    Several minutes later, they were done and resting, sharing their experience. The realization that this was what they were signing up for hit them hard.

    While some still had their resolutions unchanged, some were wavering. It was only natural. After all, not all graduates turned out to be hunters.

    "Okay, students." Alex''s voice echoed in the ears of the students, catching their attention once more. "I hope you savoured the experience, because there will be more to come."

    A few grumbled at his words, not finding it exciting. Of course, there were those who did.

    "This is something that will help you in the long run." Alex continued, ignoring their cries. "Some of you took too long to react to the void creatures. Under any other circumstances, most of you would be dead already."

    Gulp

    The students knew themselves and knew he was right. They had already realized that their suit protected them from most of the damages the void creatures dealt.

    "I will give you guys a few hours more for resource hunting. Following that, our next lesson will begin."

    "Next lesson? There is more to come?" Alex could feel the dread in the student''s tone.

    "Haha... Don''t worry, it will be a theoretical lesson." The students sighed in their numbers, grateful for the change. "Alright, rest up and get to work."

    ....

    A few hours later.

    Alex split himself into clones and the students into groups of related abilities, ignoring the class barrier.

    This forced the students to mingle with others they usually didn''t relate to.

    Regardless of everything else, they were all fourth-year students.

    Aaron was once again split from his new friends, and while he saw a few familiar ones, he saw many more new faces.

    A snap of his fingers made the colours disappear. "Does that answer your question?" Alex asked and the student nodded. "Good. Now let''s continue... Also, you can sit down."

    The students nodded, finding suitables spots on the ground before getting comfortable.

    "As lightning users, you guys should know a lot about lightning, right?" The students nodded. "In that case, can someone explain in simple terms what lightning is."

    "We lightning users basically have the power to separate particles in our surroundings, creating an imbalance we call charges." A dark-sclera female answered, the others nodding in agreement.

    "Excellent." Alex nodded and then added. "While that may be the case, there''s more to it."

    A wave of his hand conjured a lightning arc before him, frozen in place and unmoving.

    The students were once again taken by surprise. While they called themselves lightning users, they couldn''t just freeze a lightning tendril, at least not at their current level.

    What they didn''t know was that it required an understanding of laws to achieve. They could slow it down, call it off, but definitely not freeze it in place.

    "From this point to that point, we have our unbalanced charges." Alex began, pointing at both ends of the lightning arc. "What you basically do is this..."

    Alex took his time to explain to them the finer details of their abilities they didn''t know about, doing the same for all other groups.

    He used practical examples to make his explanations easier to grasp, sometimes guiding the students to follow his lead.

    Several hours later, Alex brought his various explanations to a close, leaving the students with lights of enlightenment in their eyes.

    "So that''s why my output sometimes plummets." A student echoed in realization, applying what he just learnt. "Hehehe... this will make the use of my abilities even easier!"

    "I''m glad you guys are picking up the tips." Alex said a moment later. "Unfortunately for us, it''s time to leave..."

    The students were about to grumble their complaints when Alex raised his right hand.

    "Don''t worry. This is not the end. There is still more to come." With that, Alex returned everyone to their classrooms. "I will see next time."

    His clones disappeared, returning to the main body as he appeared in the chair of his office, his gaze turning to the darkening skies through his window.
