Chapter 83 Flaming Soccer Ball!

Soon, under George's command, everyone had successfully returned to their dorms, and perhaps it's because everyone was busy thinking about tomorrow, during the trip back to the dorm, not one person as George a question

Now George looking at the last person enter their room couldn't help but sigh slightly

"Sigh…. I really hope a few of them succeed tomorrow, if not I wonder how they'd feel"

Remembering their earlier depressed expressions, George decided not to think much about it as he currently had to ground the school to make sure nobody was currently sneaking out

Taking one last look at the dorm section, George shook his head as he left to finish up his tasks for the day.

ELRIC POV

In another room different from where he was staying earlier, Elric sat behind a desk with a few books, some ink and a quill currently scattered on it

This was the room he created to serve as the headmaster's room, unlike other rooms, its space is smaller probably fitting about five to ten people maximum at a time

It had windows spaces located on the two sides, but unfortunately due to lack of glass, a short wooden board was used to open it and close it when not in use

The whole room, like almost everywhere in the school, was practically made of wood, from the chairs to the desks to the drawers, perhaps only the beds made of the few best fur he could get added a touch of vitality to this wooden school, but even with all this Elric was proud of his efforts in building

Back then in the blue star, it would be impossible to accomplish such without hours upon hours of heavy manpower at work, but here in Elias he accomplished such in just the space of a month

Shaking his head, Elric took out a piece of animal parchment from the side, using some beast blood he prepared, he drew the fire rune symbol

*Boom!*

Just like he expected, a parchment suddenly set ablaze as a fireball appeared on it.

Looking at this happening Elric's eyes shone with wisdom.

"Amazing!"

"No matter how many times I see this, it never ceases to amaze me"

With eyes looking directly at the flame, Elric's breathing slightly stagnated as he was flushed with excitement

"If I didn't know the existence of mana, I would even believe that this goes against the law of conservative of matter"

"But since matter is the driving catalyst here, rather than a flame appearing out of thin air, it's the mana stimulating the fire elements in the air causing a flame to be produced"

The more he looked at it, the more Elric began to feel the wonder that is 'mana"

However, after looking at it for a while, he suddenly snuffed out the flame

"According to this, it means that as long as there's mana and flame elements, it's possible for it to burn indefinitely!"

"If something like this existed on the blue star, unlimited energy would probably have been created"

Looking at the still intact parchment, with only a slight burn mark on it, Elric couldn't help but sigh

"Unfortunately, even here it seems impossible to achieve an eternal flame"

"Judging from the looks of the parchment just now, its durability is probably not high and it may turn into ashes after being used two or three times"

Shaking his head slightly, Elric also knew this was a major challenge he had to overcome

Durability!

From as early as when he was in the cave with Davis, Alvin and George, Elric had already noticed that most substances, when coming into contact with runes either do not react or break down after a period of use or time

However, Elric also discovered the more powerful the beast material, the greater the durability, and sometimes even has an amplifying effect on the rune, but if he wanted to create an eternal flame with his current knowledge, it was certainly not enough

Pushing away the parchment, Elric began to plan his next course of action

Earlier this morning, while George was taking care of the students, Elric had already ordered Davis and Alvin to go out and create a map of their surroundings, all beast lairs and nearby tribes should be recorded as much as possible.

Counting the time, they should be arriving back any minute from now.

According to Elric's plan, once a few students have successfully sensed mana and can use the basic runes, Davis and Alvin would take turns either going out to conquer a nearby tribe to increase their population or capture some beasts for experiments

And In the process, upgrade the school more and more creating space for more students.

However, all this was for later, currently he had to pass the first hurdle of getting some students to sense mana, without that every other plan would be for naught.

"However it doesn't hurt to plan, hopefully tomorrow someone would be able mana"

"And from there, more and more and would sense it thus allowing me to proceed to the next stage"

Thinking of this, Elric picked up his quill and decided to continue writing plans about the future while he waited for Alvin and Davis to arrive

"Let's see…, let's build a recreational centre when we have time, after all Al work and no play isn't good. Maybe I can even introduce some sports from the blue star"

"With the addition of magic, I guess it would be interesting to see some flaming fireballs flying about"

"After that, maybe build an arena for fighting so students can have an opportunity to practise their fighting skills and settle disputes"

"Or maybe catch some magic beasts so students can have an opportunity beforehand to see how they are and experience some of their abilities"

Soon before Elric knew it, many thoughts began to run through his mind as ideas kept popping up left right and centre.

Holding the quill in his hand, Elric began to write down all the ideas in his mind, so much so that he unknowingly ignored the time
