Chapter 398 Teleportation

Chapter 398 Teleportation

The first day of the academic year for the graduate students had begun. The students filled in the classroom and found their seats. Some sat in groups, while others sat alone.

A hushed murmur rippled through the crowd with the occasional nervous laughter ringing out from time to time.

It was only natural for them to be nervous. This was Saratago Castle, after all. One of the Four Pillars of the Empire.

A lot of expectations and responsibilities were placed on the shoulders of these young Magi.

Adam sat at the back of the class all by himself. He had tried to strike up conversations with a few students earlier, but when they learned that he was from the Southern Federation, they cast disdainful glances at him and distanced themselves.

After approaching a few other students and receiving the same treatment, he stopped bothering about it.

He didn't know the reason behind such prejudice. Of course, he felt a little annoyed by the discrimination, but that was all.

The youth glanced at the classroom with shining eyes. The room itself was large and circular, with high vaulted ceilings. The walls were lined with tall narrow windows, their stained glass panes casting colorful shadows on the floor.

Rows of wooden desks, each carved with years of initials and scribbles from previous students, were arranged in a semicircle manner facing a low, raised platform.

On the raised platform stood the professor's desk. On it, were ancient tomes, quills and ink bottles, and glass jars containing strange objects.

Behind the wooden desk, a large blackboard awaited the day's lessons.

Suspended right above the professor's desk was a chandelier made of iron and enchanted candles, casting a warm light throughout the room.

While Adam was looking around the classroom with curious eyes, a group of students sitting in front of him turned back to look at him and started mocking him.

"Look at this hillbilly, acting like he's never seen a classroom before."

"Do they not have academies in the backward region you're from?"

"How the hell did someone like you even get admission here?"

"Haha, true, true, it ruins the reputation of Saratoga if you ask me!"

She stepped onto the platform and stood behind her desk. Seeing that everyone was paying rapt attention and had already begun taking notes, she nodded in approval.

"The spells from this school can also be used to transport objects and people from one place to another," she added.

She walked around the table with her hands clasped behind her back. "That being said, the School of Summoning can be further divided into two sub-schools - conjuring and teleportation."

When the students heard the term teleportation, their eyes lit up.

After all, who wouldn't be fascinated by the concept of teleporting distances instantaneously?

"Conjuring refers to the phenomena of summoning spells that bring forth creatures, objects, or energies to the caster of the spell."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Please take note that they are instantly sent back to where they came from when the spell expires."

The following moment, her lips curled up into a smirk as she weaved a simple hand gesture.

"As for teleportation..."

A layer of thin fog suddenly covered Professor Whitaker's body as she took a step forward. And then, she disappeared.

Rank 2 Spell: Foggy Step!

"Spells related to this sub-school transport the subject of the spell over large distances," came the voice of the old Magus from the back of the classroom.

Everyone turned around in amazement and glanced at Professor Whitaker who was standing behind the last row of desks.

She had teleported!

The layer of fog on her body gradually disappeared and she began, "Remember, students, teleportation spells are often one-way and require another teleportation spell to return."

"Yes, Professor!" The students replied excitedly.

"Now, can any of you tell me what is the common point between these two sub-schools?" Professor Whitaker asked with a faint smile.

Adam, who was sitting closest to her, confidently replied, "The Spirit World."
