The sun rose from the east signalling the start of the day however a problem suddenly arose for the students of the lower class.
"Run faster!"
"I can't believe none of us woke up early! Not even Miss Martha"
Unfortunately due to Alicia and Apollo, the entire dormitory was enveloped by a sleeping spell.
"Jeremiah why didn't you wake me!"
[Your body was tired from using too many skills that is why I didn't bother waking you up]
Alicia on the other hand was embarrassed at the fact she woke up late like the others.
"You know guys I suddenly became thankful for Professor Adolfo's training"
"Don't be I am currently dying from overwork because of him!"
Sixteen students rush inside the building before going straight for the stairs. Finally, they arrive inside the classroom seeing no one but them.
"Hooo....and here I thought we were late"
"Good morning students"
"Ah!!"
"!?"
All eyes went on the door and their Tuesday morning teacher arrived. Missis Agatha Sidus is a resident of this city.
"Good morning professor"
"Good morning it seems like the lower class did a little work out before coming here"
"Ah yes we did, we wanted to feel more active for your lessons, professor," Blair said while catching his breath.
"That's good now all of you take your seats I will be giving a new lesson for today"
Agatha Sidus is the lower class' professor for Magic and Creation 1 subject. She mainly teaches spells and will later on teach about scroll making.
"Alright let us have a short recap before we tackle our next lesson. Tell me what is the difference between element, magic and spell"
She said while writing those words on the board.
Three hands were raised and the professor pointed to a green-haired boy among the students.
"Keith you may stand"
The young man stood up and began to answer.
"Elements are the fundamental foundations that consist our nature. Fire, lightning, water, air and earth and their sub-elements represent the world's forces.
There are two types of definitions of magic.
One is Magic or mana and the other is magic or magic study.
Magic or magic study is a mystical study of every branch of magic brought from the elements. For example, from the element of darkness, a study of magic in which the caster used the undead and curses can be classified as necromancy magic and black magic.
Magic or mana, on the other hand, is the mystical force that exists within the world, allowing individuals to manipulate these elements and perform extraordinary feats
Then spells are incantation, rituals or even formulas that are used to harness or channel mana to achieve desired results"
"That is amazing Keith you may sit"
The boy sat down and felt quite relieved he had answered well.
Apollo looks at him satisfied with how his fighting his quiet side.
"Let me simplify Keith's answer, elements are the raw materials, magic is the power or the study of the power, and spells are the means by which that power is wielded"
She then wrote on the board before writing another set of words.
Levels of magic
Levels of spells
"This past week we have studied the levels of magic and spells. Those levels are the following"
"Ah I will just change my clothes since I feel pretty uncomfortable with the one I am currently wearing"
"Okay come down when you are done"
"Yes I will"
However, as soon as he arrived a soundproof barrier was created.
"Right let us start extracting information"
[Alright]
First to be released was Elijah, his battered body was the first thing Apollo noticed before the lack of limbs.
"Let's get on with this" he raised his hand and activated the spell Veritas.
A black smoke began to appear on the floor then it crawled towards Elijah.
With the spell's activation, Apollo saw how the body of his target began repulsing and moving unevenly.
A flood of memories surged through Apollo's mind but fortunately, Jeremiah was there to sort out and remove the unnecessary memories.
"This is interesting"
[Indeed]
"So the 12 temples of the monastery are fighting amongst themselves"
[It's a blessing that they are not united as we thought]
"That's true imagine if all the 12 temples forces were to pour here"
[That would be disastrous]
"We have to keep them fighting among themselves"
[How?]
"Hmmm....I wonder"
[The reason for their fight is their greed for more power and the honor of reviving Nirvana]
"I wanted to praise them because instead of joining together they decided to make Nirvana's return a race"
[We need to keep them in that state before slowly eliminating them]
"Right and I think we got someone who could help us"
His hand made a waving gesture and a man clad in tattered priest clothing appeared.
[Segio?]
"Correct"
Another magic circle appeared beneath Apollo's feet shifting the mana inside the room.
"If I'm gonna use someone, this guy could be a perfect pawn for this job"
A wide grin was on the boy's face as he cast one of the forbidden spells of Black magic.
"Lost magic, Ad me obedire"
Like a flowing river Apollo's mana gushed out activating the spell he had in mind.
The lost magic is a level of magic that belongs to Celestial Ascendancy. The reason for it to be called lost was due to it being destroyed or banned because of the chaotic things it could cause.
Even though it used to belong to black magic its difficulty soared high as time passed. Ancient language became required to compose the spell while the technique of the mana control was too old to be remembered.
However, Apollo's case is different because he lived in a place where lost and forbidden magic can be found everywhere.
While the spell activated Sergio slowly regains his consciousness.
The black ominous magic slowly turned into a red miasma, it began to attach itself to the body of its target resulting in Sergio's body moving in a horrifying way. But no scream escapes from his lips instead only a blank expression remains.
Apollo saw his enemy's eyes begin to have clarity signalling he was about to gain consciousness.
"I think I need to show off a bit"
He then walked closer and held Sergio's neck, as the man opened his eyes, a person he never expected emerge in his view.
