Chapter-8: Spell model

An average third class apprentice’s mental space can hold up to 6-0ring spell but most apprentice only learn 3 or 4 0-ring spell on average.

Most apprentices focus on specialization, since most missions in the academy performed in groups.

For example an ideal group composed of a scout with stealth spell, support with recovery spell, control with control spell and an attacker with an attack spell.

After calming down, Robin took out the memory orb from the space and held it near his forehead and in next second he felt a complex spell model being imprinted on his mind.

It took about a minute form him process the huge amount of information that directly imprinted on his brain and it almost made vomit due to the dizziness.

He sat on the floor and gasped for air, after a series of heavy breathing, he started to recover.

He clearly overestimated himself and underestimated the difficulty of the spell.

Since shadow cloak is a powerful 0-ring spell, the spell model is much more complicated than normal, so it requires twice the amount of space compared to normal 0-ring spell.

A first class apprentice’s mental space can accommodate only one 0-ring spell, so in order inscribe the spell in the mental space, not only he has understand the corresponding knowledge, he has to at least be a second class apprentice.

So Robin’s dream of challenging across the realm ended before even it began. Even though the spell model and the relevant knowledge is imprinted on brain, without understanding relevant knowledge he cannot learn this spell.

Since it is impossible to learn the spell till he reaches second class apprentice, he has to adjust his future plans. First he plans to buy a zero ring spell model from the academy with magic stones given by his father when he left home.

An apprentice without a spell and without spell is totally different concept. Even though the academy is a safe place, he only believe in his own strength and he feels uneasy handing his safety over to others.

Next day, Rabin went to the academy market after the class was over, after searching around for a little bit, he managed to find the stall that was selling zero-ring spells and he asked the apprentice in charge.

“Can I have a look at the spell models available?”

The apprentice gave Robin a deep look and the he took out a book, which seemed to be a catalog and placed in front of him.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

“Suit yourself”

Robin took the catalog in the hand and started reading it. 5 minutes later, Robin gave the catalog one last look and returned it to the apprentice.

After hesitating for a little bit Rabin gritted his teeth and said to the apprentice.

“I would like to buy the spell model of the sharpness spell”

“Are you sure?”

The apprentice gave Rabin a surprised look, when he sensed mental fluctuations of a first class apprentice from Robin, at first he thought he was just looking, after all apprentices generally learn spells after they become second class apprentice.

After getting an affirmative look from Rabin, even though the apprentice is surprised, that doesn’t delay him from taking out a memory orb from the shop and placing it in front of him and quoted the price.

“20 magic stones”

Robin gave a heartbroken look and took out 20 shiny black stones from his pocket. After getting the magic stones, the apprentice said.

“You know the academy rules right?”

For which Robin gave an affirmative nod and took the orb and put in his package.

After getting the spell model, he doesn’t stay there on the market any longer, directly went to his room and locked the door.

In the catalog he saw many common 0=ring spells used during apprentice stage, prices ranging from 20 magic stones to 50 magic stones.

At first he thought of getting the Spell model of elementary fireball, after all, casting a fireball and obliterating the enemy is the standard wizard trope.

When he was a child he dreamt of destroying his enemies using an explosive fireball with a flick of his finger but after seeing the price of the spell model, reality gave Robin a huge slap.

The spell model for elementary fire ball costs 40 magic stones, highest among the offensive spells in the catalog, for the context, with 40 magic stones you can buy some common defensive spell models.

When he left home, his father gave him only 25 magic stones, it is not that he gave little, the total revenue of the territory itself is only 1 or 2 magic stones. 1 magic stone is equal to 1000 gold coins.

When his father gave the bag contain the magic stones, his face was like, he was cutting his flesh and giving it. His father felt so heart broken, he nearly cried.

Robin chuckled at the thought of the image of a grown man holding back his tears when he gave the bag containing the magic stones.

At first, he mistakenly thought he was crying for him but after seeing his look of reluctance when he gave the bag, he know, he was crying for the loss of his precious magic stones.

After searching on the catalog for a cheap and useful spell some time, he finally decided to buy the sharpness spell.

Sharpness spell is a 0-ring spell belong to rare space element. Like the fire element that is known for its destructiveness, space element known for its sharpness.

The sharpness spell, as the name implies, works by sharpening an object beyond it's limit, using the space element present in the surroundings.

It is not a type of spell that is very popular and has limited use cases, that’s why it so cheap, even though it belong rare space element.

Robin has his own reasons for selecting this spell. Since he is knight, he mainly battle using the sword and breathing method he practicing mainly focuses develops his agility.

He excels at speed and stealth, if he used sharpness spell on his sword when fighting, he might able to do lethal damage to the enemy.
