Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 5

Arriving in the room, Liu Yang saw that there were already some people inside the room fiddling with the personal computer. The cla.s.s had a total of thirty students if multiplied by six, a total of one hundred and eighty new students in the year.

Liu Yang did not attract the attention of those in the room, because they were those who didn"t go to the opening ceremony before. These students preferred to stay in cla.s.s waiting for the teacher.

(Chair number thirty) Liu Yang remembered his place in the queue. He was the last-placed, that is, the last student to get into school, he had the worst grade in the entrance exam.

The order students would sit was defined by the score on the school entrance exam.

Turning on the computer, Liu Yang opened the message box, he saw that there were already messages from Liu Xia. He could only smile with loss at the sight of this scene.

(This girl…) Opening the messages, Liu Yang saw that these were just casual questions about his cla.s.s.

Liu Yang responded by saying that the room was ordinary and nothing special, Liu Xia"s response surprised him, because the cla.s.s A cla.s.sroom was much larger and more comfortable. The room had climate-friendly equipment, ma.s.sage chairs, and many other things. Liu Yang was surprised by the large difference in treatment between the two cla.s.ses.

After a brief thought, Liu Yang understood the reason for this difference. As the most outstanding young people in the future, they could become the pillars of the country, and this treatment was just one way to improve their performance in school.

Time went by slowly, the cla.s.sroom started to get fuller, the students who entered after Liu Yang all recognized him, he was the Liu Xia"s boyfriend, she was the most beautiful freshman of the year or even the whole school.

Some boys were looking at Liu Yang with envious and jealous eyes, while others were fanatical, as they wanted to know how someone weak like Liu Yang could win the heart of a girl as beautiful and powerful as Liu Xia.

Tong… Tong…

It was not long before the bell rang, and the teacher entered shortly thereafter.

"h.e.l.lo, my name is Zeng Wu, and I will be your teacher this year. My specialty is the theory of magic, your practical cla.s.s will be on another day. Your resume is on the website, just look and memorize. "Zeng Wu was a 28- to 30-year-old man, his appearance was common, but the scar on his left face was very striking. He looked a little tired.

Zeng Wu lets the students access their computers to view the cla.s.s curriculum.

"As you can see, during the week you will have two lectures and three practical cla.s.ses. The days will be interspersed between cla.s.ses. The lectures will be three hours long, after which you will be free to decide what to do for the rest of the day.

As you are students in the worst cla.s.s in high school, you will have to work hard to advance the cla.s.s. One advice I give you is that you do the most of the practice rooms and practice as much as possible to improve your proficiency in casting the spells.


For you to pa.s.s to the second year, you must have the primary spell at level 8 or 9. To go to the third year, you must have reached the intermediate level with the primary spell. To graduate, you reach at least level 5 or 6 with the intermediate spell."

"Do any of you have any questions?" Zeng Wu looked at everyone and asked as his gaze landed on the last chair in the room, which was by the window. A strange sparkle appeared in his eyes, that was Liu Yang"s chair.

"As no one has any doubt, I will start the cla.s.s. Our first topic is about magic elements. "

"Each element has its own special characteristics, the true potential of the element can only be used when the magician fully knows about the element. I"ll start with my element, which is water. "Zeng Wu waved his hand and drops of water began to form on his hands before covering like a glove.

"Anyone have questions about what I just did?" Zeng Wu asked he saw that some students had surprised faces. But no one spoke up, as they were ashamed to look stupid for not knowing something basic.

"The name of what I just did is called Elemental Control. We, mages, have the ability to control the elements and use them the way we want, but it requires a lot of control and concentration. Since my cla.s.s is just theory, I will not ask you to do any of this, I will just show you. "

"Before we delve deeper into the issues, I will explain in general about the primary spells, which is the level you are all at."

"When mages awaken their magical powers, they awaken an element and receive a primary spell from their first element. Each element has its own magic with its own characteristics.

In some rare cases, a wizard can awaken more than one element, from the beginning of the age of mages a hundred years ago, there has been only one wizard with the most dominated elements, seven elements in total.

The real name of this mage was a mystery, but his nickname was the Lord of the Elements, he was the greatest mage in the world in terms of combat power. Its age has pa.s.sed, but its descendants are still alive and strong.

Returning to the subject, the first spell the magician received upon awakening is called primary spell. Spells have a total of nine levels, with each level increased, its powers or effects increase. For a spell to advance to intermediate level it was necessary to raise the level of the primary spell to level 9, then break to intermediate level 1.

All spells start at level 1 and always end at 9, after which, it will progress to the next level. But how are levels increased? Meditation.

The magician needs to meditate and absorb the magical energy around him while transferring to his magic. With each level, the spell reaches, more magical energy will be required to break through the next level.

Is there any other way to increase spell levels? Yes, there are other ways, the most common being consuming medicinal liquids or training in places with a high concentration of magical energy."

"As a tip for you, take the time you have to train in the meditation rooms, the concentration of magical energy within those places is better than the outside world."

The teacher continued his cla.s.s for three full hours, what he was talking about was already common knowledge of the students, he only repeated with emphasis on some important parts about the subject.

After three hours of school, the bell rang and it was lunchtime.
