Chapter 242 Classes Part 3

The first class for my mage courses was magic theory. The teacher from this class was much older than any of the other teachers so far, but I can say one thing. No one made a peep in the class. The instructor had a strict, stern expression on her face the entire time. Something you would see in the old schoolmarms back on Earth. She even had a rod in her hand as she taught. And for some reason kept slapping the palm of her hand with it.

But I must say magic theory was quite boring. It didn’t really dive deep into anything. It was just the basics of magic and nothing more. Maybe it would get better as you rise in levels in school, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was I could have taken a more useful class. But I still sat there and listened like a good girl. Just in case there was something worth listening to.

My next class was very interesting, though. Magic creation. A class based solely on creating new kinds of magic. And the one in charge of this class was Instructor Jasmine. As soon as I walked into the classroom, Instructor Jasmine called out to me. “Ah, good. I did pick the right class to teach. It is good that you are here.”

“Oh? Is there something you need of me, Instructor Jasmine?” I asked. I was feeling a bit confused as to why she was happy I was here.

“Yes, after all, it is worth teaching someone magic creation if they have already created their own spells, miss spinning barrier. No matter how much I tried, I could not alter the spell at all to make it possible to spin the way you did!” Instructor Jasmine looked quite upset. I do not think she was mad at me but more upset that she could not alter the spell.

“Hmmm, it was quite simple though, look.” I raised my hand and drew out the magic circle. Instructor Jasmine stared at the magic circle with a feverish gaze.

She stood there and studied the magic circle for a few minutes before throwing her hands up into the air. “It was that simple!? You just added in a rotational value to the runic equation like it was nothing! What the hell!?”

“It’s not about trying to adjust anything in the spell but just layering an extra command over the top of it. If you add the spin to the target point you are casting it at, then you can make it spin around the target point. So all you are doing is adding in the rotational value to the runic equation.” I explained.

“This is just… Fine, you teach class today!” Instructor Jasmine yelled out. I could only stare at her in disbelief. I mean, I came to this class to learn, not to teach! “What is that stupid look on your face for? I am being serious! You are much better at crafting spells than I am!”

“Faith, she has a point. I mean, you made a bunch of spells for everyone in the dungeon….” Adel, who was standing at my side, added. I, of course, pursed my lips.

“Let me make it worth your time. You will gain extra merits for teaching. Also, I will add in my referral to the dean if you are able to help these kids win the inter academy competition in a year’s time.” Instructor Jasmine’s words of extra merits were not too bad but I did not understand what she meant by inter academy competition.

“Inter academy competition?” I asked.

“Were you not listening during the opening cer… never mind, you didn’t even pay attention when you were called up to the stage. Alright, I will explain. The first year students will have a competition between the classes. Each class will face its counterparts. As each class is held by different teachers at different times. So I hope you can make this class lead the way in the magic creation part of the competition.” Instructor Jasmine explained.

Hearing all of this, I thought for a moment and nodded my head. “I do not mind. If it is just teaching people how to create spells, that is fine, but the problem lies with how to responsibly do such a thing. If I teach and they make a spell that will kill us all, I do not want to be held responsible for it.”

“I am not asking you to teach them how to create some of the crazy spells, you know, just some basic stuff.” Instructor Jasmine flicked my forehead as she sighed at me.

“Alright then, let’s get to it then….” I really don’t care. I mean, if someone did try to do such a thing, I could just use dispel at some point as long as their magic power is not higher than mine.

And so now I was standing in front of the class while Instructor Jasmine sat in my seat. I guess she also wanted to learn from me. And right away was I getting hostile stares from all the noble kids. Which I figured would happen when they saw that they were going to be taught by me of all people.

“What is this!? Why is this demi standing at the podium!? Instructor Jasmine, I came here to learn not to listen to some demi human!”

“Yeah! Why is she even up there!? Does she even know how to create any spells!? I thought the academy was a place of learning, not messing around!”

Instructor Jasmine slowly got up and turned around, and looked at the few students who had yelled out just now. “Are you questioning my decisions!? I will tell you this now if anyone is more qualified to teach this class, it is her. She can change and create spells in a matter of minutes. But you say she is not qualified? And what do you mean by demi human? Let me remind you that there is no difference between humans and demi humans in this academy. If I hear you call someone a demi human or anything derogatory towards any beastkin I will expel you immediately!”
