Just after Leo wanted to return back to the house, Cassandra finally arrived.
"What are those carriages for?" Cassandra asked curiously as soon as she arrived in front of Leo.
Hearing Cassandra's question, Leo could only helplessly explained to her all the things that had happened. Since she would find out about it anyway, then it's much better that she will get that information from his own mouth.
Cassandra was immediately in shock after hearing another part of Leo's story. She only knew about his struggle and how he grew up to his present self, it was really out of her expectations that he actually had a fiance already. Soon after, she quickly felt alert after finding out that this fiancée was actually Elizabeth.
It was fine if it was someone else because Cassandra was confident in her beauty. But Elizabeth was another case, since both of their beauty was at the same level.
Cassandra immediately locks on Leo's shoulder with her hand, as if afraid that someone will suddenly take him away from her.
Leo could only smile awkwardly at Cassandra's reaction.
.....
The next day, Leo entered Silver Mage Academy surrounded by three beautiful girls. Everyone that sees them along the way was immediately attracted to their direction since three beauties following one guy was really a rare sight for them.
"I'll come to school alone next time!" Leo can't help but swear deep in his mind.
Although Leo was already used to being looked at by plenty of people due to his status of Viscount and a lord of a city on top of that, this was still his first time of being stared at due to having three beauties walking along with him. Even though it was every men's dream to be able to have many beautiful girls by their side, he was different from them since he prefers a peaceful life.
A peaceful life away from the trouble!
A peaceful life that will never threaten his own life!
Leo's life seemingly took a huge turn, and he was really sure that he will no longer have any peaceful life after this huge turn of events. Cassandra, Angel, and Elizabeth. Three beauties capable of causing a war between Kingdoms and Empires due to their beauty were now currently living in the same house as him. For that sole reason alone, peacefulness would be impossible.
"F*ck! This would surely cause me an endless amount of trouble!"
Cassandra alone was already causing Leo a lot of trouble, yet 2 girls were added. If Fate was playing with him, then this is no longer funny!
Finally arriving in the Academy, Leo quickly bid farewell before dashing to his room. He didn't dare to take Cassandra to her room this time, since Elizabeth and Angel were surely going to follow along with him.
"Yow, why are you rushing?" Alfred greeted as soon as Leo sat on his chair.
"To run away from trouble..." Leo replied while trying to catch his breath.
"Huh..."
Their conversation was immediately interrupted since teacher Marvin suddenly already arrived.
Everyone immediately felt curious as to why teacher Marvin arrived so early today. It was really unusual for someone who used to arrive right after the bell rang.
"Today, I will begin teaching all of you about Magic spells!" Teacher Marvin said, which immediately made all the student's eyes to lit up.
Everyone finally understood why teacher Marvin arrived earlier than usual today. It was simply because they were now going to be taught about Magic spells! This was the lesson that they had long been waiting forever since they stepped inside Silver Mage Academy.
Every student that had learned about their affinity to become Mages only had one dream in their mind from the very beginning, 'To finally be able to cast a Magic spell!'.
What all of them were doing last week was just to make them adopt and experience how a Mage Academy life works. And since the first week had already passed, then it was now time to officially start the real lesson of the Silver Mage Academy.
"We are going to the stadium in the center of the building to learn about how to cast a Magic spell." Teacher Marvin said before motioning to everyone to form a line outside.
As soon as they arrived outside, the Class 1S- immediately noticed that the other students from Class 1S and Class 1S+ were actually also going to the stadium to learn about how to cast a Magic spell with them.
After a while, every student from Class 1S-, 1S, and 1S+ finally arrived in the stadium. The stadium was actually a lot bigger than what they could see from their rooms. Being inside the stadium than looking at it from above has allowed every student to realize the difference.
The stadium was 200x200 meters in size, made out of unknown but surely a tough material capable of withstanding powerful Magic spells. And also, just merely standing in the stadium, everyone could immediately feel rich Mana flowing around them, too.
'Such a marvelous feeling!'
Obviously, an array that gathers the Mana around was built below the stadium grounds in order for such a thing to happened.
The three Class 1S's were immediately gathered together in the center of the stadium. Soon after, teacher Marvin stood on a platform to start the lesson.
"Spellcasting is the most important part of being a Mage. If a Mage is not able to cast a single spell, then that person is not considered a Mage and will never be recognized as a Mage by any Mage organization. Simply put, the moment you were able to absorb the Mana from a Mana stone was not the day you had become Mages, but only when you can finally cast a Magic spell."
"Casting a spell is not as easy as absorbing Mana from Mana stones. To cast a spell, you need to gather the Mana around the surrounding and make a spell using the Mana you have gathered." Teacher Marvin put his hand in front before closing his eyes.
"Fire!"
The table in front of teacher Marvin suddenly started burning.
"Water!"
The fire was then quickly extinguished with a sudden flush of water.
"Earth!"
The water that had extinguished the fire was quickly trapped by a sphere made out of rock that had suddenly appeared out of thin air soon after.
"Nature!"
The rock that trapped the water was then suddenly covered with green, tiny weeds.
"..."
Teacher Marvin continued casting different Elemental spells. All the spells he had cast were also followed by different colors of Magic circle and different Elements being used to form his Magic spells.
Coincidentally, the way teacher Marvin cast his spells was actually somewhat the same as when Leo was trying to form his Elementals in his consciousness.
In the case of Leo's though, he just needed to focus on absorbing the specific Elemental Mana from the air to his right palm, and then he will be able to form the Elemental in his consciousness.
However, what teacher Marvin was doing was also different from how Leo formed his Elementals. The former creates the specific Element Mana he needed for the Magic spell through converting the Mana he had gathered from the surrounding. On the other hand, the latter needed to rely on which Element Mana was rich on his surrounding to form his Elemental.
Simply put, teacher Marvin creates the different Element Mana, while Leo could only absorb what specific Element Mana was rich around his surrounding.
"First step to able to cast a Magic spell is simply to be able to absorb the Mana in your surrounding. To absorb this Mana is somewhat the same as how you absorbed the Mana from a Mana stone. Focus your spirit and control the Mana as you then gathered the Mana from your surrounding to your body." Teacher Marvin said as he motioned everyone to begin.
All the students nodded their heads in response as they closed their eyes, put their hands in front of them, focused their own spirits, and when they finally began absorbing the Mana around their surrounding the same way as to how they absorbed Mana from a Mana stone.
Everyone quickly opened their eyes in amazement soon after, which simply implies that all of them were successful in absorbing the Mana around their surrounding.
"The Mana that you have successfully absorbed is actually called Pure Mana. Pure Mana is a form of Mana which has no element mix within, just a pure Mana with nothing more."
Since everyone was already done with the first step, teacher Marvin quickly continued to the second step, "The second step is to turn this Pure Mana you have absorbed into a specific Element Mana that you needed in order to cast the Magic spell you have in mind."
Everyone quickly followed what teacher Marvin had explained. First, all the students repeated the first step of absorbing Mana, and then they quickly followed the second step as all of them focused all of their attention on turning the gathered Pure Mana on their hand into a specific Element Mana.
However, everyone who had not yet casted a Magic spell before quickly failed in this second step.
Those students who had failed slowly opened their eyes as they turned to look at teacher Marvin for an answer.
"Those that had successfully done the second step can proceed to teacher Candice to continue, while those who failed to remain here with me!" Teacher Marvin said as he pointed towards a beautiful teacher below the platform.
This teacher was voluptuous and a 6th-foot tall height. She has fair and white skin, well-rounded buttocks, a huge breast, a slender leg, and her beauty was only a little bit lower than a beauty like Cassandra and Elizabeth. Also, her hair was black and short, specifically shoulder length, and a black pupil.
Leo immediately rated her in his mind as, "93/100!"
"Everyone who had completed the second step come with me to that side!" Teacher Candice sweetly said to the students that succeed in the second step before walking away from the students who had failed the second step.
Unfortunately, Leo was among these students who had failed the second step. He was used to absorbing the specific rich Element Mana in the air, so he had no idea at all on how to turn this Pure Mana on his hand into a specific Element Mana.
Teacher Marvin suddenly became dubious when he found out that Leo had actually failed the second step. The latter was, after all, a student recommended by Sword and Magic, so he had a high expectation for him.. Contrary to his expectations, though, the latter had actually failed the second step.
