Chapter 75 - Golem
"Start!"
Jayna immediately produces a few small fireballs and shoots at Angus rapidly [1st Circle – Flame Shot]. But like usual Angus dodges all the [Flame Shot] while giving expression panic made it looks like he dodges all of them by a fluke.
Already predicting this, Jayna approaches Angus at fast speed and launches a barrage of [Fire Punch] towards him. Looking at this Angus immediately runs around and always looks like barely dodging the incoming [Fire Punch].
"Wuaa… Help.. I surrender… Surrender." said Angus loudly while keep running around.
"Stop, run around and stay still!!" said Jayna angrily.
In the meantime, teacher Elis only looked at the two kids that seemed like playing the game of cat and mouse silently without any intention to stop the fight.
'Every Jayna attack could be dodged easily. It's not normal. But, it looks like he dodged it by a fluke. Haa… I better stop this before it's going to be more escalated.' thought teacher Elis as she feels Jayna's mana fluctuated.
Before teacher Elis could stop the spar, "Take this ." said Jayna.
A burst of fire is coming out from her body towards all directions [Immolate]. Looking at the advanced skill Jayna uses, teacher Elis immediately stops the spar.
"Stop, Jayna. That's enough." shouted teacher Elis as she ready to tend Angus.
She thought Angus would be somehow injured from that huge range of attack. But, after the view clearing, Angus only slumps on the ground unscathed.
"Owwiee… That's quite hot." said Angus.
Meanwhile, Jayna is also slumping on the ground as she uses all her mana in the last attack. Now, she didn't have any strength left to catch up and attack Angus.
Looking at the unscathed Angus, Jayna has a conflicted feeling. Part of her wanting Angus being burned alive, but she also relieved that Angus is not hurt at all like usual. Because of this conflicted feeling, Jayna could only grumble on the spot.
"Angus, are you alright?" asked teacher Elis
"Yep, I am fine. Thought I almost died being roasted by someone." said Angus calmly.
Hearing this, Jayna turn into a bad mood but still couldn't do anything as she is also exhausted.
Before she could rebuke Angus's comment, "Jayna, how many times have I told you to not use big moves or dangerous moves in spar like that." Teacher Elis reprimands Jayna.
"B-But…" Jayna is trying to defend herself.
"No, but! how many times I told you during the fight you need to control your emotion and not let it control you. You need to stay calm.. Bla.. Bla.. Bla.." as Teacher Elis began to lecture Jayna while she could only nod to her.
After that, the practical lesson continued for the other students to spar with each other. There is no notable student in his class besides Jayna and Wylda that uses water elemental spells.
During all these years, her mastery over the water element spell is huge. She could cast [Aqua Ball] faster and more precise.
Water element affinity is quite rare for people that reside in the Heart Kingdom, but that doesn't mean there are no other people having water element affinity.
In Angus's peer, there are only two people having water elemental affinity which Ian and Wylda while the rest having fire elemental affinity. This shows how rare other elemental affinity is besides fire in the Heart Kingdom.
Although Wylda is not as strong as Ian in a fight, her water elemental affinity insight is higher than Ian. Ian is focused more on fighting and spells while Wylda is training her water elemental to be better than learning new spells.
Angus knows all of this from the skill book that they drop during the manual battle. By using the manual battle against humanoid Wylda and Ian, he could have some chance to get a skill book.
The skill book not only contains the skill or spells about the target person but also their insight.
Soon, the practical combat began to end. Like usual, Angus immediately went towards the canteen to have lunch before attending his side course in the afternoon.
While having lunch like usual, he remembers the form about the fighting path he needs to choose. The Royal Academy will rearrange the student according to their kind of specialization.
This is kind of a dilemma for Angus, although he told his father to choose a Hybrid path in this academy he may choose a different path with the least of trouble such as sparing.
The only path with the least trouble is the magician path, according to what he knows. The magician path class is often delved into research of spells rather than practical exercise like combat.
This class is the best way to hide his true strength and enjoy his academic life. However, there is a rumour that they still need to at least be capable of casting spells during the combat calmly.
The final examination is also quite different from the others. Angus couldn't ask his brothers since Vergil is on the Hybrid path class while Jason is on the Warrior path class.
So, Angus didn't know about the Magician path examination test. He is also not a very social person that will ask the upperclassmen. Having a connection with most of the upperclassmen are quite a handful because of their family background.
After that, Angus decides to choose the Magician Path class as he feels that it will become less trouble for him later. Besides as someone from Earth without magic, He is very interested in magic and spells.
The Magician path class in the Royal Academy allows their students to learn any spell inside the Royal Academy library. Usually, the royal academy will restrict students to learn spells unless they pay it with points.
However, the Magician Path has the policy to encourage students to learn spells as much as possible. Because of this, the student of Magician Path could gain access to all the spells available in the academy.
Even some of the teachers didn't have this kind of privilege when learning the spell from the academy. This shows the greatness of the Royal Academy of Heart Kingdom.
In the afternoon, Angus has the side course of Magical Engineering. Since he is already in the third year of attending this course with a good report, he finally gets a special privilege to work on some practical things.
It is nothing complicated to build some small machine as the final assessment. Today, his class is having a kind of workshop attended by various kinds of teachers and employees.
Apparently, in this world, there is also a robot or artificial intelligence. The pinnacle product of Magical Engineering itself is these kinds of artificial intelligence.
There are some classes in these kinds of artificial intelligence. The higher their class, the better their capability. Up until today the one that could be known is Droid, Golem, Colossus, and Titan class.
Some of the legends said that there is another artificial intelligence class that is much better than ordinary living beings in the ancient civilization. It is called Homunculus, the legendary creation of Magical Engineering.
Today, inside the Magical Engineering course they will show the student about a second handed golem. Although it is a second-handed artificial intelligence machine the price of it is almost the same as an artefact.
Because the production of golem takes a lot of time and resources. It is also difficult and needs experts to assemble them. Any kind of golem is priceless.
Entering the class that was already full of students, Angus chose to sit in the back as it is the only seat left. On the podium, there is a human-size box that is covered with a blanket.
After all the students gather, they begin the workshop. Soon, they explained some part of the golem and its simple creation method.
During the interval of the workshop, one of the teachers pulls out the blanket and shows a humanoid size thing that is covered in some rock. Like the other classes, the golem also has many kinds of type.
'Judging from the looks of the golem. It should be battle type stone golem.' thought Angus
"62637788 Battle Type Stone Golem active." said one of the teachers.
The sleep golem immediately created a humming sound and a bluish light shone from all its joints. Then, it starts to wake up and sit down.
"Stone Golem activated." said the golem emotionlessly.
"WAAA…" said the audience.
Every student in the room was immediately surprised and had a star in their eyes looking at the stone golem especially the boys. Some of them even like meeting their long life idol and having short seizures.
"Calm down, students. The show is not yet done." said the teacher to calm the audience.
Then, two muscular people bring a huge rock towards the podium. From the looks of the two muscular people's expressions, the rock is very heavy. Another muscular person came in.
"Everyone, this is teacher Fernand a grade four combatant that specializes in teaching students in Warrior path. Teacher Fernand please." said the other teacher on the podium.
Then, teacher Fernand takes a gigantic hammer nearby and enhances it using his mana before slamming it towards the huge rock in the podium. *Boom*
