Chapter 23: Unexpected Revelation

Chapter 23: Unexpected Revelation

As the trio of stunningly beautiful girls walked down the campus, lots of stares were directed at them.

Of the trio, Aurora, stood out with her red eyes and black hair, while the other two, Emily and Sophia, were equally beautiful. Well not Sophia, she wasn't that beautiful.

However, if one were to choose, Emily would be considered the most beautiful.

While originaly Emily wasn't friends with Aurora ; being the top students of 1st year, it was only a matter of time before they met each other.

They made small talk as they made their way to the class.

[Class A1-1st year]

Sophia giggled, the sound of her laughter filling the room, "Oh no, what have I gotten myself into? If math is the key to 'spell formulations' then I'm doomed!"

Emily placed a gentle hand on Sophia's shoulder. "Don't worry, Sophie. As long as you leave the complicated spells to the experts, you'll be just fine."

Aurora leaned back in her chair, a sly grin spreading across her face.

"Ah, the joys of nicknames. Emie and Sophie, it's clear- you two are as close as sisters."

Emily smiled warmly , "Yes, we practically grew up together."

Sophia rolled her eyes playfully, "And Emie here is always getting into trouble, dragging me along with her every time."

Aurora raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow. "That's a cute nickname. Mind if I use it too?"

Emily shrugged nonchalantly. "Not at all. Just don't say anything too embarrassing in public."

As the Mathematics class began, the students were reminded of the significance of Mathematics in the world, especially in the realm of magic.

Mathematics played a crucial role in the formulation and design of new magic formulas and circles.

The closely relationship between Mathematics and magic meant that those who excelled in Mathematics could create innovative spells. That's the job of Spellsciologist.

Professor Blaise walked into the class, ready to teach.

This year's class had the potential to produce a prodigy who could become a Spellsciologist.

Takahasi, Emily Reed and Aurora Lewis were the golden eggs this year.

Professor Blaise looked around the room.

"Hmm..let's see," Professor Blaise muttered as he scrutinized the class with a sense of pride.

But his eyebrows furrowed as his eyes landed on a boy with pale skin and dark hair— the dark spot of the class.

"Tsk, that bastard again," he exhaled with a hint of frustration.

Disdain dripped from the Professor's lips as he recognized the boy, who curiously appeared to be sleeping in the middle of the class.

In Professor Blaise's eyes, Noah was nothing more than a worthless and incompetent student who had no right to attend the esteemed Arcanum Blades Academy.

Unwilling to squander precious time on a mere speck such as Noah, the Professor had hitherto chosen to ignore his lackluster behavior.

But, after hearing from Instructor Yilin that Noah was nothing but a trouble-maker, Professor could no longer tolerate his behavior.

It was then that Professor Blaise decided to publicly humiliate Noah.

"Perhaps if I teach him a lesson, Riya will start seeing me in a better light," thought Professor Blaise as he nodded his head in approval.

Blaise cleared his throat and began to lecture the class on the topic of "Mathematical Functions."

He cleared his throat and asked the class, "Can anyone tell me how many types of force exist in the world?"

Several students raised their hands eagerly.

Blaise scanned the room and randomly picked a student. "You, tell me."

"There are four types of force in our world: Mana, demonic energy, Aura, and ether," replied the bald-headed boy.

Blaise gestured for him to lower his hand and continued, "Does anyone know why 'mana' is considered superior to the others?"

No one raised their hand except Aurora.

Blaise nodded towards her, and she stood up to answer.

"While it's not clear which is more potent, mana surpasses all other forms of energy in terms of versatility. The abundance of mana in the atmosphere gives mana users a significant advantage over aura users, as aura can only be cultivated within one's body."

This one-sided view was the reason why orcs disliked humans, considering that orcs used aura instead of mana.

Blaise agreed with Aurora's explanation and said, "Very well put."

~30 minutes later

Blaise made his way towards Noah and jerked him awake.

Noah groggily rubbed his eyes as the entire class erupted in laughter.

"Sleeping again, I see," Blaise sneered, "Perhaps this lesson will teach you a thing or two about the importance of being attentive in class."

Following a brief pause, Professor Blaise added with a sly grin, "And if you fail to give the correct answer, then expect a deduction of 1000 credit points."

Noah's eyes widened in shock as he heard the severe punishment for what he considered to be a minor offence.

'Is he serious? Docking 1000 credits just for dozing off? That's fucking ridiculous!' Noah thought to himself, feeling nervous and tense.

"Tommorow is going to be sparring session."

From the contents of the Novel I was sure of who are going to fight so I am not worried getting picked for a fight but still...

"Just to of be extra safe..."

It was clear to me that my secondary stats were far too high for someone ranked as a (G+).

I attributed this development to Nano pushing my body to epitome of human physique.

Despite my increased strength and resistance, I still lacked mana capacity.

"At least my physical stats are above average," I muttered.

"I will have to learn aura, since I can't implant a mana core in me."

"Nano."

[...]

My mind raced as I started formulating a back up plan Incadescent I would be chosen in the sparring session.
