Chapter 59 - Basic Spells

One hour later, they were both eating their breakfast after having enjoyed each other, taking a shower together and getting dressed.

Kevin barely had time to finish his hour of stretching before going to class as he had been interrupted earlier by his man's insatiable appetite.

But in the end, Kevin had managed to get his 2 hours of training, satisfy his man, make them breakfast and all that by arriving on time for his spells class.

The rooms for the spells class were in another building right next to where they had their alchemy class. There were only 8 rooms in the whole building and they were all very spacious.

Each group of students had to go to their own classroom again and this time it was room C as their group's letter.

This room was completely empty except for the 23 dummies who were presumably there to serve as targets.

The professor who was already there motioned them to stand in the circles that were drawn on the floor and facing the dummies.

When they had all arrived he finally introduced himself : "Welcome to your first spells class, my name is Julian and I will be yours teacher throughout the year.

Some of you already know the basic spells, so at the start I will focus more on those who have never done them.

To make it easier for me, you are all going to come and take small colored squares that represent your elements and place them in your circle, put your main element on the right, you will have to do it in each of our classes."

Professor Julian then stepped aside and everyone could see a small table with squares of 5 different colors behind him.

The students did as he had asked and all went to look for the colored squares that represented their elements, Kevin was the only one with 3 elements and when the other students noticed him a heavy silence settled in the classroom.

They didn't forget that yesterday their teacher already said that he had an affinity with 3 elements, but what were disturbing them was that he had succeeded to craft not one but two Healing potions low grade with his so low Soul force reserve, while others with bigger reserve had struggled all the afternoon to finally succeed to craft only one.

And now, they all could see that his main element was the lightning one, the rarest of all the elements … If they were already annoyed before, how should they feel now ?

Even the professor Julian seemed to be rendered speechless, but he recovered quickly because indeed he had heard that there was a new student who had 3 elements, the main one being the lightning element, but he hadn't expected to have him in his class.

Julian was inwardly jubilant, it meant that the Sun Sect leaders found him the most qualified to guide him.

He finally continued where he left off : "Well, now for those who don't know it yet, the basic spells are all the same whatever elements you have an affinity with, and we only use the spiritual energy around us to create them.

Once you will be able to see and gathered the particles of your elements into your basic spells, only then, your basic spells will become specific to your elements and they will get a level.

The level is determined by the number of particles you will manage to introduce into your spell, your spell doesn't have to be something big to be of high level, sometimes a simple arrow with a very dense concentration of particles can be qualified of level 3 or 4.

Let me show you what I mean with a basic arrow spell. I will transform it into a water element spell level 1, which is called the Water Arrow spell, and then I will show you the difference between the level 1 and the level 2 of this spell.

Focus on the spiritual energy around us and watch it carefully."

Kevin focused on the spiritual energy around them and he clearly saw an arrow forming in the professor Julian's hand.

The concentration of spiritual energy was such that the arrow at first invisible to the naked eye turned quickly into a milky colored arrow.

Kevin could hear the students' exclamations of surprise but as he had already experienced this with Alan yesterday it wasn't new for him.

He didn't attempt to copy this technique as the professor Julian had been very clear in saying that basic spells only used spiritual energy, what interested him was what was going to happen now.

The professor Julian threw the arrow at the dummy in front of him and an indistinguishable mark appeared on it, this basic spell was rather weak thought Kevin.

Then without adding a word he did the exact same thing again and this time Kevin activated his observation skill.

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to learn a new spell, and a message popped up instantly.

[ Water element spell level 1 : Water Arrow, need 150 Soul force points to activate the observation skill, Yes / No. ]

Kevin thought 'yes' immediately, and the same message than the last time appeared.

[ Congratulations, you succeed to copy the Water element spell level 1 : Water Arrow. ]

Kevin remained unmoved as he watched the professor's demonstration, but he was delighted, just for that it was worth coming in the spell lessons.

The milky arrow was transformed into an electric blue arrow, and the professor Julian threw it the same way at the dummy, who this time it didn't end up as good as the first time.

A hole the size of a fist had appeared inside the dummy's chest just after that they had heard a small explosion when the Water Arrow made contact with it.

Too cool, Kevin thought, and it was only the level 1. Their teacher made the last Arrow Water and Kevin was surprised because when he tried to copied it the System just sent him a message to say that he had already copied this spell.

Well, he didn't think to much about it right now and get focus on what was happening right in front of his eyes.

This time, the electric blue color of the Water Arrow was even brighter and the arrow was bigger too, it was very impressive.

Julian then dispersed the spell and told them that if he had launched it against this poor dummy, it would have exploded into a thousand pieces and he added that he would also have made a hole in the wall that was in front of them.

Kevin was really excited, that was just too awesome !
