Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 weeks old)
Over the course of the meal, the new four students were able to forge new bonds with the other seven, particularly, Riyah and Icarus, acquainted Saber and Lila, Princess Lang befriended Celine only, and Flin was acquainted to Allen, Ken, Wilbert and Glen,
After lunch, their next schedule would be magic education, which will be a lesson for the eleven, Klein opened a portal to his cave where he will be having the discussion along with the other two masters and everyone proceeded in.
Surprisingly -in Princess Lang’s thoughts- armchairs, a black board and a table was prepared beforehand. Books for the discussion? They were summoned out of thin air from their town’s library, for they did not want to discuss with the class inside the library for fear of burning, or accidentally destroying the building, that’s why they do it on Klein’s cave.
The lesson introduced was quite familiar to the eleven, the basics of magic, how magic is formed, how they are able to control and create elements, which made it easy for them to understand and fun along the way,
As Klein introduced a very practical teaching which made all of them engage in, seeing that the class wasn’t lagging behind in terms of knowledge of the magic arts, Klein proceeded to other deeper topics concerning magic.
Half an hour along the discussion, Ken stood up from his sit exclaimed that he would like to have some alone time at the other side of the center, to which Klein approved, the other six weren’t bothered by this as they had gotten used to Ken walking out of the class halfway through the discussion.
But the other four were disturbed, curious as to what Ken might be doing.
“Lila, what was that about?” asked Riyah to Lila.
“That’s one of Ken’s habit, halfway through the discussion he excuses himself, sometimes he doesn’t say where he would be going, but after we find him either at the edge of a cliff floating or atop a tree hanging, but this time he said he would be at the other side, I wonder why.” explained Lila to her friend, Riyah nodded in affirmation and returned listening to the class.
One person who overheard their conversation, got intrigued at the information, and she wanted to know for herself what that person could be doing so she could humiliate them, Princess Lang sneakily went out of her seat while master Lana was discussing in front with her back to the class, and went to the direction Ken walked out.
Now that she’s mention it, she remembered that master Klein also went to the same direction Ken went, when he abruptly finished his discussion and let master Lana take over, now she was more interested on what they might be doing.
Not far away from her location about twenty meters away from where the others are she felt an immense magic fluctuation in the air making her hair stand on edge, prompting her to hasten her movements.
Upon arriving at the other clearing at the left side of the center, there she witnesses Ken floating, and surrounded by magic circles big and small with different colors, but the most dominant, was the color white, while some had stuck to his body and the others floating aimlessly around him with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, Ken opened his eyes making the magic circles disappear, Princess Lang thought that that would be the end of her astonishment but she was wrong, as soon as she released a breath, magic circles started to appear and disappear slowly in front of Ken who was facing the wall of the cave, and as each magic circle subsided,
Magic would be flung towards the wall stopping at an invisible wall, before bursting in the element they were casted, some magic that were flung had passed through the invisible wall and had hit the wall of the cave instead,
Creating craters, and sometimes burnt, frozen, slimy, thorny, blunt, patches, but the ones that hit the wall didn’t subside, as the element remained stationary as if their energy weren’t able to disperse.
As the last magic circle flung its magic towards the invisible wall, suddenly, a big magic circle the color of grey appeared below Ken, and the invisible wall sucked in all the elemental energy that were stuck on its surface by a black hole before disappearing, it then formed into a small orb the size of a palm emitting raw mana which then floated toward Ken’s open palm.
“I did it.” He exclaimed to himself he then faced to his left and showed his achievement to someone who came out from the shade of the tree, which was Master Klein.
“Master, look, I did it!” he exclaimed happily, grinning from ear to ear as his master approached him, Klein congratulated him for successfully converting elemental energy back to mana energy.
While this was going on, another individual was stunned to her feet, the princess could not believe what she just witnessed, nobody has ever done this before, not even their strongest magician, to convert all those elements into a mana orb.
She was just about to turn around and return to the class when a hand touched her shoulder making her jump and squeak out -which she never noticed-, she looked at the person who was holding her, only finding out that it was Celine, and behind her the others are present as well along with the other two masters.
Allen walked out of the group and approached his father and Ken and conversed with them, congratulating Ken for achieving such a feet, to which Ken returned with a thank you and a smile, eventually the rest gathered where the three where and congratulated Ken as well, leaving the two girls to themselves.
Princess Lang calmed herself down and asked why they were here, Celine said that the magic education class has ended fifteen minutes after she had left and that they decided that they will go watch Ken, so they did.
“What do you mean watch? What was this all about? This wasn’t in one of our schedules.” Princess Lang exclaimed. Celine chuckled a little and explained…
“Our next schedule was either one-on-one or self-improvement, clearly the masters must have given you the schedule of self-improvement since you don’t know about it, nope wait, it wasn’t written on your schedule rather.” The princess cannot help but feel embarrassed but still continued to ask about the one-on-one session.
Celine then explained that this schedule is free for everyone to enter either the magic one-on-one class with master Klein, combat prowess one-on-one class with master Ulysses, or support one-on-one class with master Lana,
It’s all up to them to decide which one of the masters they’d like to train within a day, but that it’s compulsory to attend one-on-one sessions with each of the masters at least once a month.
Celine then adds that once in a while the masters will make them form teams in an objective centered activity during the afternoon classes, reasoning out that it will train and help them in working together in a team,
For introducing them to teamwork will increase their chances of winning or in their case, claiming the objectives, even in surviving or survival activites.
The princess nodded in thanks of the information and they decided to join the others, so far the princess could not help the uneasy feeling rising within her, but one thing was for sure, the object of her discomfort, was Ken.
