Chapter 7: Dark Arts

Jerald would like Shade I think. I hope so. He's been a cool guy so far. Erica Stewart is my other classmate. She's a bit annoying. She's fifteen so I get it but still! I am a grown ass man with a fifteen year old girl crushing on me. I mean my body is in her age range but I mentally am not. Not even her fault really. Who wouldn't fall in love with a prince? For example she often butts into conversations I am having with other people. Or she sits with me and Jerald without asking. It's little things but still it irks me. The worst of it though is when she tries to flirt with me.

Like right now. I shift as she smiles sliding to sit next to me. She leans on her elbow and blinks slowly. “So… What are you doing after school?” Can she be more obvious? I act like I am thinking then shake my head “I have plans to study all night.” She pouts and crosses her arms “Come on. You can afford to take a break. I think you have been studying for the entire first three weeks!” This is true, but I would not want to waste a relaxation day on you. I sigh and shrug “I need to be the best of the best. I do not want to use the time I could be studying for anything else.” She frowns but turns to her food knowing the conversation had ended. I understand every noble girl wants to be a princess. Well those who want power that is. But most noble girls leave me alone.

Luckily for my enchanting class and potion making class I have peace. Enchanting class has given me a lot of ideas for possible skills to add to my list. But I don't know if there is a skill limit. I don’t want to waste my programming abilities to give myself a skill that I can’t get rid of. So far we are doing small enchantments for defense or resistance. Learning what magics exist and what enchantments can counter them is going to be very useful. I make sure to take notes.

Potions class is also fascinating. I learn what kinds of potions exist. There are the basic health potions then the usual mana potions. But there are the wild ones like leaping or water breathing. There are plenty of different ones I think I’ll be making during class. I might need one of these one day. For Sarah or any would be assassin it would be nice to have a health potion on my person at all times.

After school I usually spend my time with Jerald practicing summoning magic or my own personal studies. The school library is vast and I know I can learn much from it. I got all the books about summoning and the different elemental match ups. Unfortunately for me I can’t do much for elementals after receiving the metal lion. Metal while unaffected by water is weak to fire and ice.

Back on topic, my stats are looking fantastic.

Already at this school my skill list has grown! My intelligence hasn't but it's only been two weeks. I expect that to change in the next month or so. Today is our actual summoning test. Where we put theory into practice. Honestly I am excited for this. Arriving in class with everyone else the teacher draws a symbol on the board "We will be summoning today. If you have done the homework you should have your summoning circles drawn. One at a time come up and perform the summoning spell." I look at my symbol and smile at it.

Not the most creative image but it's a classic drawing. Jerald has an actually serious summoning symbol drawn on his homework. It's got intricate smaller symbols on its inner circle. Along the inner circle are lines connecting the symbols. Honestly, it looks more like a real summoning symbol than mine.

Most students summon elemental beasts. Others summon fey creatures. Jerald goes up and he summons an ice wolf. Then it's my turn. I step up and hold out my summoning paper. I channel my mana to the paper and focus on casting the summoning spell. Out of the paper a large lion emerges. Its body is seemingly made of pure steel. A metal elemental? Didn’t expect to see that. I smile “Leonidas. I am happy to make a contract with you.” The lion bows and speaks in a deep metallic voice “It is an honor commander.” it follows after me as I sit next to Jerald. He whistles lightly “Damn you guessed right.” I chuckle at that.

Jerald summons an ice wolf and I eye it curiously. I wonder if my water elemental can turn into an ice elemental? No. I don’t think I can. Ah shame. No worries then Lake. Rain is pleasantly strong. With Gale to provide us with wind we can make a pretty deadly attack. Is that so? Yep! The rest of the class goes on without a hitch. Heading to the cafeteria I hear some people whispering about me. That’s the least of my concerns to be honest. What does concern me is Erica and her advances.

She’s young and in love. I just wish it was anyone but me! I mean there are tons of guys in this school. Hell I have even tried setting her up with Jerald. But nothing I do works. Morpheus can’t even touch her because of her light magic. I sigh as I managed to escape her again today. Never thought I would get [Stealth] from a determined teenager. I kind of feel flattered and terrified at the same time. Jerald, the absolute friend that he is, helps me out when she gets too pushy. If I ever become king I am getting him a promotion.
