William felt as if he had been hit by a full set of sarcastic skills aimed at making him furious, his chest felt like it was about to explode.

Taking a deep breath, William reminded himself to maintain his image, he had to keep his composure. He couldn't stoop to the level of this trash; he was half a young master of the Wilson family, while this guy was just the son of a servant.

"This useless waste not only awakened successfully, but he also awakened a fire element that has a significant early advantage. Even a waste has its lucky breaks... And what's even more infuriating is that a rare lightning element appeared in the next class, completely overshadowing my ancestral ice element. Damn it!" On the surface, William looked like a prince charming, but inside, he was already cursing up a storm.

Lucifer returned to his seat, feeling the distinctly different gazes of his classmates around him...

"Fire element, better not provoke this guy in the future."

"What do you mean 'not provoke'? We need to build a good relationship. As a light element user, I need the backing of the fire element big brother to survive in this school."

"By the way, what's his name? Is it Lucifer?"

The whispers of the surrounding classmates reached Lucifer's ears, making him feel refreshed. He deliberately glanced at William, who had also heard the conversation, and sure enough, William's mouth was twitching.

Lucifer already knew what kind of person William was—pretending to be a gentleman all day long. Just by looking at his fake nonchalant expression, it was clear that he was feeling extremely uncomfortable inside.

Hypocritical guy, you get this worked up just because I awakened a fire element. Wait until you find out that your grandpa Lucifer has a lightning element... won't you just want to commit seppuku??

As summer turned to autumn, leaves swirled in the wind, drifting onto the school playground.

Beside the playground, a dense shade of green provided a cool respite. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating beams of light, like a special autumn stage.

For Lucifer, time passed quickly; it had already been two months since his awakening.

During these two months, Lucifer had done only one thing: sitting under this tree—meditating!

On the first day of class, the homeroom teacher, Jemson, gave all the magic students an important lesson: the release of magic!

The release of magic consists of three very simple steps.

First, meditate.

Second, control.

Third, release!

Meditation, as the name suggests, is to concentrate fully on thinking.

When a person closes their eyes, their mind is constantly conjuring various images.

But if one thinks of nothing and is not disturbed, their mind becomes completely empty!

After awakening, a magician's empty world will manifest corresponding elemental stardust.

In other words, as long as Lucifer closes his eyes and allows his mind to reach a state of emptiness like a black universe, the lightning and fire stardust will appear in that empty mind.

The lightning stardust is purple, resembling a cloud of purple cosmic dust floating there, beautiful and enchanting, vibrant and colorful.

Within the lightning stardust, there are seven little stars, moving around in a chaotic manner, like seven mischievous children running around energetically.

For any awakened magic student, as long as they can manifest stardust in their emptiness and see the lively, glowing stars within, they have completed the meditation.

It can be said that this first step is really simple, and for the past two months, all magic students were assigned this as their homework.

Meditation starts right after dinner and continues until exhaustion, then they go to sleep.

The next day, after finishing daytime classes, they still meditate, meditating until exhausted before going to sleep...

Lucifer did not slack off; he did this for a full two months, including weekends. Many times, he wondered why the teachers assigned such a simple task for two months.

"How about I try controlling it myself first?" Lucifer thought he had become quite skilled at meditation, so he wanted to move on to the next step.

The second step of magic release is also very simple.

After entering meditation, one will see the stardust, and within the stardust, there are seven lively, energetic stars running around chaotically.

Control means using one's mental will to calm these stars down and have them obediently stop at specific positions, forming a star trail.

Once the star trail is formed, the magical power will be transmitted through this star trail into the magician's body, transforming into real magic and being released!

"They're really fast; let me touch them." Lucifer began to attempt communication with the stars.

Using his will to control the stars, Lucifer had already locked onto one of the playful stars, trying to make it obediently stay still.

"Whoosh~~~~~~"

That star was incredibly aloof, not paying any attention to Lucifer, like a child encountering a monster, fleeing rapidly!

"Damn, so proud. Forget it, let me try another one." Lucifer started to communicate with another lightning star.

"Little cutie, daddy's here, come over, be good..."

"Whoosh~~~~~"

The second star also acted as if it had encountered a lunatic, running away at full speed.

Lucifer tried several other stars, and they all reacted the same way; none of them took him seriously. A few even seemed to run faster when they sensed his will trying to control them!

When the stars are spinning and racing, magical power cannot be transmitted.

It's like an electric wire; the electrical energy is within the stardust, and to release that energy, the stars must be connected in a line to transmit it into the magician's body...

Unfortunately, none of these lightning stars were obedient. If he didn't try to touch them, it was fine, but once he attempted to communicate, they would run away quickly, never stopping!

"How am I supposed to do this? When will I ever learn my lightning mark skill?" Lucifer felt a headache coming on.

The initial skill of the lightning element is—Lightning Mark.

This skill is probably the most practical among all initial elemental magic skills. Once learned and mastered, it essentially grants outstanding combat power.

But unfortunately, skills are not so easy to learn.

The activity level of the lightning stars is extremely high; getting them to stop is not something that can be accomplished in just a day or two.

"Right now, I can't even control one star, and I need to control seven at the same time... this is going to be a long road."

Indeed, learning magic is just like studying; it can't be accomplished in a day or two.
