A Brief Lecture

"Us mages are divided into several different stages..." Preached the homeroom teacher.

Two days had passed since the student's awakening of their element. Although no one paid much attention to me after that day, I can tell that the scorn they have for me still stems in their minds.

"Since all of you had just awakened your elements, you are all now in the Freelance stage..."

These past few days I've been doing nothing but meditating at home trying to progress in my magic cultivation as quickly as possible. Since I have such a useless element, that just means I have to work harder than anyone else.

"There are 10 tiers in the Freelance stage, you can advance through this tiers through many methods such as meditating your mind and soul, by constantly practicing using magic and utilizing it, or by using external products and items to aid in your cultivation..."

So far I can feel myself breaking through into the second tier of the Freelance stage. However, I was not happy with my results at all. That was because normally for an average person who had just awakened their element, it would take them at most only two days before they breakthrough for the first time. Right now I can see a few people who had already achieve tier-2, and that Zhu Huo is one of them.

"As you progress into higher tiers, the difficulty in advancing through them is much, much more difficult. That goes to say... how much more difficult it would be in the higher stages..."

This won't do, I already have such a worthless element and to fall behind in magical breakthrough is nothing short of unacceptable. I can't afford to fall behind, not when I still have a promise to fulfill!

"Excuse me, sir!" A student raised his hand, interrupting the teacher's lecture.

"Yes, what is it?" The teacher replied, somewhat annoyed. "Instead of rudely interrupting me, please wait for your turn to be called next time, understood?"

"Ah - Yes sir!" The student answered awkwardly, clearly flustered. "Un-Understood!"

"Good, you may continue"

"Sir, I've been taught in primary school that mages learn their spells in a place called the Great Library... Sir, how do we get access to that place?" The student asked.

"Ah, I was about to get into that... Thank you for asking you may sit down now." The teacher answered. "As all of you might have learned already, we mages learn our spells in a realm called the Great Library."

"Your consciousness will enter that great realm and depending on your awakened element, you will be granted access into the rooms of your respective elements, where a great array of magic and spells can be learned within."

"However to learn spells, one would need to spend magic points to learn them. Magic points are earned by advancing through tiers and stages."

"Each tier will grant you ten points and each stage will grant you a hundred! Alternatively, magic points can also be earned through other methods such as mastering your spells and mastering your elements. Mastering a spell will grant you fifty points and mastering an element will grant you two hundred!"

"Of course you have to keep in mind that you must not just acquire every cheap cost magic you see, just so you can obtain that fifty tasty points. Mastering a spell, even if it is a very low tiered spell, is incredibly hard. It'll be wise to save up your points to acquire more powerful spells, but of course, versatility is important as well... so do acquire a few low-tier spell now and then."

"Also do keep in mind where and when you decide to enter the Great Library as your unconscious body will be exposed to all sort of dangers outside when you are in there."

As he said that, he gave sharp glances to all the female students in the class, who shudders im return. Afterward, he glared at the males who were giggling in the side, causing them to freeze up. The teacher sighed and shook his head disappointingly, just as he was about to continue speaking another voice called out to him.

"Sir you still haven't told us how to enter that realm yet..." Said the student who'd asked the teacher before.

"I was getting to that part..." The teacher replied, he paused for a moment as he was remembering something and glared back at the student. "Get out of class now!"

The teacher yelled and point his finger towards the door. The student looked around feverishly and points a finger at himself, looking extremely agitated. The teacher only nodded, but the student could tell that if he hesitates any longer, he would meet a bitter end in today's session. He waddles away feeling dejected.

"Hmph! I hate people who can't listen to simple instructions!" The teacher scoffed. "Right then, back to topic."

"To enter the Great Library is a simple matter, all you have to do is channel the mana within and around you into your mind, visualize your element and enter it. It may sound complex but is extremely easy."

"Also note that you will be completely isolated in the library so there's no need to worry about your privacy inside there. Another thing is that you can only enter the Great Library after you had achieve at least Freelance tier-7."

As he finishes speaking, the entire class start to chat amongst themselves, I scanned around the class until my sight was fixed on the class door. What I saw was the side of a head, firmly pressed on the door's glass panel in a comical way. The ear of the head spread across the panel; flattened like a pancake as if it was attempting to pierce pass through the glass.

I realize that this was the student that got kicked out of the class by the teacher just a few minutes ago.

Looks like he was extremely desperate to know the answer... sadly for him though, all the classrooms in the school are soundproofed for educational purposes. I felt quite bad for him, as he was the one who had asked about the topic in the first place but in the end got nothing out of it. Perhaps I should fill him on the details later.
