Magus Supremacy - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: First Class {2} Chapter 120: First Class {2} Chapter 120 “Good morning students of Lunaria academy!

I’m instructor Clark and I will be taking you on the history of magic, how different affinities work, how to unlock them, why the academy/ squad exists, and what you are expected to do in this academy in order to rise up the ranks.” Clark said as he surveyed the room expecting any sort of objections or complaints but there was none as the students all leaned forward listening to everything he had to say.

‘I wonder why there are fewer students this year than the previous.

Was the assessment that difficult or did no one strong catch captain Amir’s eyes?

Whatever the case, the fewer they are, the easier to control.’ he thought.

“So let’s begin.” Clark said.

“What is magic?” “Magic is power!” A student answered.

“No!” Clark said.

“Magic is a way to defeat our foes.” Another student said, “Wrong!” Clark said again.

“Tch!

As expected of commoners.” Greg said.

“Magic is elemental control that allows us to do unbelievable things which commoners and cripples might struggle to do.” “Still wrong.” Clark said with a sigh.

“Magic is…” “Magic is the fundamental force that shapes our world.

It is the energy that flows through everything-through the land, the sky, and even within us.

It is neither good nor evil.

It simply exists, waiting to be harnessed.” The whole class heard someone say and they turned around to see that it was Grey who answered the question correctly.

“Like that would be the answer.” Greg scoffed when… “What did you say?

Repeat it again.” Clark said.

“I said, Magic is the fundamental force that shapes our world.

It is the energy that flows through everything-through the land, the sky, and even within us.

It is neither good nor evil.

It simply exists, waiting to be harnessed.” Grey repeated himself again and Clark looked as if his mind was about to explode.

‘How is this possible?

To be able to give such a precise answer, the person had to have understood magic and studied it deeply like his soul depends on it.

I myself discovered the true meaning when I had unlocked my affinities and ever since then, I was deeply fascinated.’ Clark thought as he kept staring at Grey who looked away.

“Is that the correct answer?” Scarlet asked after seeing Clark’s shocked expression.

“Yes.” Clark said and Greg along with the whole class turned to stare at Grey who just looked out the window.

‘I only got the answer right after reading and researching from the town’s library.

And then my theory was further proven after I became a mage and a powerful one at that.’ Grey thought with a sigh.

“Lucky guess.” Greg muttered.

“Okay let’s move on!

Since all of us here know how to cast a spell, I’m sure we all know what fuels our magic.

Just in case we don’t know, let me briefly explain.

What fuels our magic is an energy known as mana.

What is mana?

Mana is a raw energy that flows endlessly around the world and around all living beings.

Every living being has mana but only a mage can shape it into spells.” Clark said and he paused briefly to examine the class and could see them listening intently.

“Now do we understand all that?” He asked and he saw the whole class nodding along.

“Good!

So let’s move on to how to unlock different affinities.

So first up on our list is wind magic.

In order for a mage to manifest the wind magic, he/she has to be exposed to it either by getting hit by the magic or training with people that already have the magic.

But know this, if you are not destined to have the wind attribute, then no matter how much you expose yourself to it, you won’t awaken it.” ‘Well I guess I was destined to awaken the attribute after all.

Thanks to Clark, I got exposed to the affinity countless times from him bullying me and after I managed to create my core, it clicked the last time he bullied me.

Thinking of him, I wonder where the hell he is now.’ Grey thought as he kept on listening to what Clark had to say.

“Now for the fire affinity, it’s quite simple and hard at the same time.

You just need to train in a very hot and boiling place like let’s say a volcano.

Training there, would get your body and core naturally adapted to the place and you would be able to awaken the fire magic.

When I say training, I mean cultivating one’s core around a very hot area.” Clark said.

‘And that’s why my family has a hot training room to help us awaken our affinities and make sure we unlock the fire attribute.’ Scarlet thought as she remembered the gruesome training she had to endure from a very young age.

“Now for the lightning attribute, this one is very difficult and tricky to awaken and if you don’t have the mind for this, trust me, don’t even think of trying to awaken this affinity.” Clark said.

“And why is that instructor Clark?” Arthur asked.

“This is because of the condition of unlocking the affinity.

One has to get shot by lightning several times over and over again.

Or you train in a thunderstorm everyday with the hopes of awakening the affinity.

If you are not destined to awaken the affinity, then you will just experience worse training in this harsh condition.” Clark shrugged.

“What’s the worse that can happen?” Raze asked with a chuckle.

“Death!

Have you tried getting hit by lightning before?

Trust me, it is so painful like as if you were placed under a moving belt of some kind and tons of needles are prickling you from the inside out.” Clark said and the students all had faces of horror as they gulped imagining if they were put in that same position all except two people.

‘Tch!

Weaklings!

But what Clark is saying is the truth actually.

I died and came back on the day I tried awakening my affinity.’ Greg thought as he remembered being shot with lightning by powerful lightning users of his family including his older siblings.

He remembered the excruciating pain and how he almost died before he managed to awaken the affinity.

The second person was of course Grey.

‘Yeah!

I think I died on the day Max shot me with a high level powerful lightning spell but miraculously, I survived otherwise, I won’t be here.’ Clark was about to continue his class when a loud ringing noise was heard in the classroom.

“Okay that is the end of the class today, tomorrow we focus more on the history of Lunaria academy along with other academies and why they were created.

For now, it’s time for your theory class.” ‘Theory class?!’ Grey thought and then a smile appeared on his face.

‘Now this is my jams.’
