12:29 Location: First floor, Lauzurus -"I must first awaken my magic like you two did, I suppose. I've never used magic before, all I ever did was scuffle with ruffians. Although mostly with my brothers. So to start off I think I'm gonna go with basic magic. I have no idea what it means but 'basic' has to mean it's good for beginners, right?" Said Julius as he ruffled Ted's hair. -"Sounds logical to me." Desmond answered while the group followed the now moving line of students. -"Ack, I'm starving... History lessons sure make you hungry! But hey, what about you two? Fire magic sounds cool but what are you doing after lunch?" -"Julius, there is so much I want to do, magic is so exciting!" Desmond said while whirling his burning fingertip around. "Ted always dreamed of being able to fly so I'll go with him." In his rush of excitement Desmond grabbed the little boys shoulder and pulled him close. "Ted, imagine us flying around the school! Wouldn't that be amazing?" -"It sure would! I can hardly wait!" Ted answered equally enthusiastic. The three boys eventually got inside the dining hall. The big hall were filled to the brim with tables and chairs, above them hang large chandeliers keeping the room lit. At the front of the line the boys get handed a plate each with steaming hot roasted mackerel and potatoes from some older students through a large counter. -"Isn't that our boy Auron over there?" Says Julius as he points at the black haired boy sitting alone in one of the corners. "Let's sit with him." Before anyone had a chance to say otherwise Julius took the point and sat down next to Auron. -"Hello Auron, is something wrong?" Said Desmond after he sat down, observing that Auron was only poking his food. -"I'm not very hungry, besides they spat in the food before I got the plate." -"Why would someone do such an awful thing!?" Julius said, angered by what he heard. -"Because my father likes Demons more than he likes humans." Auron answered shortly. -"That gives them no reason to punish you!" While Julius did not know anything about the Zecane family or Swedian culture he knew when injustice was at work. -"So it's true? You are Zecane like the Zecane?" Desmond could not hold back his curiosity anymore. -"I don't want to talk about it." Auron's voice was cold as he glanced at everyone around the table. The rest of the delicious lunch continued in awkward silence until Julius broke it. -"So... Which class are you taking next?" He asked as he turned to Auron. -"Corruption." And with that last word Auron left the table and made his way to class. The corridors were once again filling up with students who also finished their lunch. Auron were walking slowly with his hands in his pockets. This whole day had been crap thus far and lunch didn't make it any better. It doesn't take long before he finds the corruption magic classroom. Without hesitation he walks inside and sit down in the nearest empty bench. As Auron take a look around he notice that he is probably the youngest student here. Behind the rostrum stands the teacher with his back at the class, writing something on the blackboard. -"Good afternoon disciples and welcome back from your break." He says with a dark and raspy voice. He turns around and look out over his class. He is wearing a dark cloak with a hood hanging over his head. He wears leather gloves and a grey wooden mask over his face. Not a single inch of skin can be seen. [i]He looks kinda creepy...[/i] "Today we will be talking about usq mortem diseases and why they should be handled with care. Take in mind the backlash theorem and... hmm?" The teacher stops at Auron to look at him. "Zecane..." He says with what sounds like despise. [i]Now what?[/i] -"Yes?" Auron answers more jeering than intended. -"Come with me, I'll be right back class." The teacher leads Auron to a backroom much like how Tohrd did. The back room even shared a similar design. The teacher closed the door behind Auron and and walked up to him uncomfortably close. "Why are you here?" He asks with a very pushy tone. -"To learn corruption magic of course. Is there a problem?" -"Yes. I rarely teach junior students corruption magic, even less likely that I teach an apprentice student. But to teach you corruption magic would just be shameful." -"I'm strong, I can handle it." -"Of course you can. But why would I teach a Zecane magic which only brings death and destruction, someone from a family known for their extremely dangerous and treacherous behavior. I hope you can see where I'm going with this Zecane." [i]Stupid family name...[/i] [hr] With the help from his pamphlet Julius found the way to his classroom. Just as he walks around a corner his heart skips a beat. Her red long hair can be seen just as she enter the classroom. [i]Jenny and I are going to attend the same class? Is this reality?[/i] With very light steps Julius almost skips inside the classroom. Quickly looking for an empty bench close to his beloved Julius finds that the seat behind her is free. Julius pushed anyone out of his way as he rushed to claim the empty seat. Delighted with being able to smell her hair from behind Julius look around noticing that this classroom is much bigger than the one he had been to earlier and also contains several larger workbenches. -"Allright class, settle down." An older woman speaks with a kind voice. She stands by the blackboard over the side of the classroom, busy with sketching some kind of star. She is dressed in a bright pink robe with red bands hanging from various spots. "Welcome to basic magic my lovely freshmen. I am Agiatha Jesulin and I will be holding a beginners class every afternoon just so you new wizards get an understanding for the complex nature of magic. Today we will be talking about the Magic Spectrum and Sub-Elements so get your books ready!" Julius quickly put up the back of his pamphlet and pick up a pen from the floor to take notes. Looking up at the board Julius see what Agiatha had painted. [img]http://i.imgur.com/dXlSfQ2.jpg[/img] -"This is the Magical Spectrum. Take a close look at it because it is very important for every wizard to know how the elements are organized. Every point of the star represent a magical spectrum, featuring four elements each. Elements of the same spectrum share some kind of magic nature, the feeling of it's magic. For example look at the Glooming Spectrum. It features Demonology, Corruption, Dark and Galaxial magic. All these elements share the feeling of the unknown, but also destruction! The Living Spectrum features elements that somehow alters life. Nature, Metamorphism, Organic and Will magic makes a very lively and and unpredictable spectrum. The Elemental Spectrum mostly speaks for it self. It contains the four elements Wind, Earth, Fire and Water. They share the power of creation, the might to shape the world. The Sparkling Spectrum is filled with glimmering spells. Light, Arcane, Healing and Religious magic together gives you control over the essence of power. Last is the Potent Spectrum. It shares power of the abstract and undefined. Trance, Basic, Raw and Synthetic magic contains endless possibilities. There is however a point beyond classification within this chart. Spectrum that doesn't lie next to each other is harder to grasp at the same time. A wizard studying elements within the Sparkling Spectrum will have a hard time learning elements within the Glooming Spectrum since their natures are very different to each other. I want you to keep that in mind when you pick your courses. Of course you can learn elements from opposite spectrum, but it require a larger amount of skill and dedication. Let's move on to Sub-Elements..." For the rest of the lesson Agiatha teaches about how every element has two sub-elements with only a few exceptions. Sub-elements are a type of magic that is too different to be included in a bigger element, but not specific enough to stand as its own element. Sub-elements also share the core of the nature of it's stem element. For example ice magic is a sub-element to water magic and poison magic being a sub-element to nature magic. "Is there any questions before you go?" The sweet teacher asks. [hr] -"What the heck is this?" Desmond double check his pamphlet to make sure he and Ted really got to the right room. "The map says this is it but all I see is some stairs going up." -"I agree it is strange, perhaps it's just up the stairs?" Ted says judging the room. What you assumed were the wind magic classroom turned out to only be a spiral stair made out of of stone leading upwards. Quite odd considering the corridors already has stairs leading to the second floor. Other than said stairs the room has no other features except for some torches on the walls that keep the room lit. -"Let's hope so." Desmond said taking the point up the stairs. Much to their surprise the stairs lead further than they had thought going way above the second floor through a trapdoor to the roof. -"Well, this makes kind of sense. It sure must be easier to practice wind magic outside than inside, I think." Ted shrugged. The two boys join the rest of the class standing in one of the roof's corners small talking about whatnot. -"You don't think this is kind of dangerous Ted? I mean what if someone gets pushed off the edge by some failed spell?" Desmond didn't just acknowledge the outer edge of the rood but also the inner edge where the park lied down on the ground. It made him kind of anxious knowing there was double the ledges to fall off because a fall from here would certainly mean grave injuries. -"Of course magic is dangerous!" Scared be the sudden loud voice Desmond turned around to find him face to face with what he assumed were his teacher. His whole upper body and face were wrapped in bandages leaving only a small gap for his dark eyes to see through. Over the bandages he wore a black simple vest and on his lower body sat just as simple black pants and shoes. [i]How did he sneak up on me so easily!?[/i] Calming his nerves Desmond took a couple of steps back from his teacher. "Just because you're learning wind magic in my class it doesn't that we'll be lollygagging around like the other classes. Oh no! I demand discipline and focus!" The teacher's sharp voice straightened his student's backs as he paced in front of them. "For you who haven't been here before I can tell that Jan and Agiatha had some new runes set up on the roof this year. As long as the runes are active they will prevent you from falling down. Jan hopes this will lower the school's mortality rate, however I know fools will just find another way to kill themselves just as nature intended. My advice to you: Don't be fools." Though knowing about the runes calmed down Desmond a bit he didn't really like to hear that dying in accidents were common around here. The teacher backed over to the inner edge and stepped off it. Just as he were about to drop he began floating in mid-air slowly drifting backwards. "Compared to the other elements wind magic is quirky and frail. The winds want to roam free and do as their pleases, they will though no matter what we do. All we can do is shove them in the direction we want. Diana what is the first rule of wind magic?" He asks one of the girls fast. Struggling to spit out an answer the teacher pushed his hands forward creating a booming wind that sent her flying. Just as she flies off the roof some magical force catches her like a web, bouncing her back down on the roof top with painful force. "The first rule of wind magic is think fast." The teacher answers disappointed. "What's the second rule of wind magic Emilio?" The teacher asks now turning to one of the boys. -"Think smart!" He shouts quickly while cowering in fear of getting blasted. -"Very good Emilio. Think fast and think smart, these are the two rules every aeromancer follows. To defeat our enemies we rely on smart positioning and our surroundings to get the most optimal results out of our spells. Let's begin practice." Desmond and Ted practiced passing small gusts of wind between each other for the remainder of the lesson. With their teacher's instruction Things actually went very smooth for both of them. To handle wind magic you need a lot more precise force in bursts compared to fire magic where a gentle stream of magic is the trick. As Desmond pass the wind back and forth with Ted an idea came to him. [i]I wonder what would happen if I tried doing fire and wind magic at the same time. Does it blend well? How would it look?[/i] [hr] [b][u]Desmond[/u][/b] A) Try it!
