In the second day of classes, the instructors started teaching the students the specifics of the different subjects. In the class of formal language, Kael was beginning to understand how to pronounce each of the letters comprising the new language. The lectures in other non-magic related subjects were either easy for him, or he didn’t need relearning. However, in history class, it was hard for him to retain to memory the things that were taught to him.

The history class was centered around the Divine Emperor, worshipped by the Rezelus faith. He knew that Rezelus didn’t exist back in his time as Lucien, but he kept on hearing that the Divine Emperor created everything in the world. It intrigued him. He wondered who is the Divine Emperor, and what is the objective of the people that created the false narrative.

Magister Zahe and Magister Lucius continued their lectures in their magic related subjects. Just like yesterday, the students were paying full attention in the discussion. But being in the second day, the magisters didn’t instruct them to attempt to perform any magic. Some of the students were still disappointed that they couldn’t do actual magic. Others accepted the instructors’ decisions. After Lord Lucius’s lecture in magic incantations, another instructor entered the room.

The students didn’t know the person. He was the instructor that was absent yesterday, that’s why he wasn’t able to introduce himself. The man looked suspicious at first, but seeing that Lord Lucius let him enter, and they even exchanged greetings, the students realized that he’s also an instructor.

“Magister Kever”, the instructor stated. He didn’t waste any time after introducing himself. “All of you, follow me”

The students were caught off guard with the sudden command, but they quickly followed Magister Kever. The magister was marching along the hallway, not stopping once to see if the students were following. The students could barely keep up, but they managed to go to where the magister directed them.

Magister Kever was waiting in the academy’s open field. He was with four other people who were behind him, also waiting for the students to come.

“Too slow”, the magister lectured the students, then he started rambling about courteousness. The students were confused as to what’s happening that they could only look at each other.

“Magister, we should be starting soon”, one of the four people behind the magister said.

Magister Kever stopped lecturing the students, and introduced the four people. The students were surprised to know, that the magister will teach them along with the second years. The four people introduced themselves individually, and after that, the magister didn’t let the situation sink in. The class immediately started.

Magister Kever is their instructor for body enhancement magic as well as basic combat practice. He stated that enhancement magic was under magic incantations, and so, he wasn’t planning to lecture them about it. Instead, he claimed to be a practical instructor, letting the students to actually practice magic early on.

The students were thrilled to hear the magister’s statement. They set aside what they initially thought towards the magister and followed along the magister’s instructions.

The magister let them meditate first. He wanted the students to be full of mana during the actual attempts of body enhancements. The students were looking forward to it that it took many of them several minutes to fill their mana vessels. Of course, Kael filled his vessel with ease.

“Too slow”, the magister lectured some students. Half of the first year students were not able to fill their vessels within the magister’s allotted time. Once again, they heard the magister’s lecture about courteousness. Yulian was one of them.

One of the second years reminded the magister about the time, which saved the students for more lecturing. Magister Kever commanded the second years to demonstrate different body enhancement magic. The second years prepared themselves.

[Speed Boost]

The first person to demonstrate circled around the open field. At first, he looked like he was just running around at a normal pace, but then, he repeatedly enhanced himself until only a few of the students could see him. He stopped running after the magister told him to.

Many of the students were amazed, but Yulian got a little curious. He raised his hand and was allowed by the magister to speak.

“Magister, how can he see if he go that fast?”, Yulian asked.

Magister Kever seemed to smile a bit, then he answered the question. He explained that whenever someone use speed boost, that person may also need to magically enhance his vision. At a certain degree of speed enhancement, the peak of human reaction time will not be able to keep up. The magister’s statement was already proven as they saw the demonstration.

The next person demonstrated strength boost. His fist went through stacks of bricks he prepared during the first demonstration. The first year students were not fond of the perceived brutality of the enhancement magic.

Magister Kever warned the students that strength enhancement needed the assistance of a defensive boost or a magic barrier. The boost could also harm the users if they didn’t have any defense. Such information discouraged the students even more from using it.

The next demonstration was for defense enhancement. The person that showed the strength enhancement was allowed to punch his fellow second year. Most of the students didn’t want to look, but when the punch hit, the demonstrator was unharmed.

The last demonstration was for invisibility. The students were bewildered seeing that the demonstrator suddenly appeared behind them, but some of them were also freaked out due to the magic enhancement’s implications.

After all the demonstrations, the magister commanded the first year students to practice one of the magic enhancements they saw. They became busy for half an hour trying to imitate what the second years did.

Kael was assigned on strength enhancement. He could do it without breaking a sweat, but seeing the struggles of the other students, he pretended to be struggling as well. He didn’t know at that time that Magister Kever was carefully observing him.

The magister’s teaching time was almost over. He let the exhausted students to take a little rest. Then, all of a sudden, he asked the students.

“First years, why do you think I’m teaching you about enhancements?”

One of the students claimed that enhancement magic integrates with their fighting capabilities to become stronger. The magister agreed to him, but it wasn’t the main objective. Another said that the purpose of the magister’s lecture was to teach them how to protect themselves. The magister agreed as well, but he argued that creating elemental magic and magic summoning were better options. Several students also stated their thoughts, but all of their statements didn’t satisfy the magister. When the students wanted to know the answer, the magister said one thing.

“We will see the answer soon enough”

With his statement, Magister Kever concluded the lecture.
