Spell casting and enchanting

The next morning I woke, like every day now, Lina and Kira up, ate breakfast and went to school.

I had to go to one of the arenas, where we'll learn spell casting.

The sight of changing woman was, how should I say?

Less appealing than I imagined.

Sure they look good but half naked woman aren't that good anymore. You don't have this anime like reaction when you see some half naked girls. It only gets interesting, when you´re able to touch them.

And I also could touch myself. My skin is smoother than most of theirs, I only lack in breasts, for now.

Our class were currently waiting for our spell casting teacher, who was late. We all have to wear gym clothes, I don't know why it's not like we will do some exercises.

I was talking with Pia and another girl as three guys interrupted us.

They look like ruffians and their badge showed me that they're third-year students.

"Hey, you´re this elf girl from the speech aren't ya?" Guy 1

"We three want to be friends with ya." Guy 2 said while emphasizing the word friend.

"So come with us and we'll have some fun." Guy 3 finished their introduction.

All of them showed lust from their eyes.

"Hahahaha, are you for real?" I asked

"You three really think I would come with you? " Me

"You either come or we´ll take you" Guy 2 tried to say it in an intimidating way.

"I'll say you what, you three fight in a duel against me with all your points on the line and if you win I´ll come with you and you get my points. But if I win, I´ll get your points and you stay away from me. " Me

"Clair, they're third years, they may be from the B-Class, but they ARE third years," Pia warned me.

"That'll be an easy win, we accept. " Guy 2

"Good, we'll wait for our teacher as a referee and then have the duel, what kind of rules will we use ?" Me

"You can choose, we'll win either way." Guy 1 said confidently.

"Ok, then a fight without rules. Any possible move is allowed." Me

The teacher came and was not amused by our duel but had to comply, as it is a school rule.

We're not in the magic arena and as such I'm not allowed to kill them. I also don't plan to fight them in a bloody way, it would ruin my coming reputation as a cool student.

I think I´ll cut their oxygen supply.

"This duel is between Clair from A1-Class a first year against Paul, Rick and Uro from the

B2-Class all of them are from the third year. There are no rules and both party's bet all their points. Any objections?" Teacher

""No, "" We all said.

"Then fight!" Teacher

All three of them began to recite a spell.

While I began to move all of their oxygen out of their lungs.

They stopped reciting and grabbed their throats as if something was clutching it.

It took them a few seconds until they fell down.

They convulsed a few times but stopped moving.

I gave them their oxygen back and looked at my teacher.

He in return closed his mouth and shouted.

"Clair is the winner!"

"I hope they're not dead Clair." Teacher

"Nope, just unconscious." I replied and walked to the three unconscious guys.

I slapped them a few times until they woke up.

"I won, give me my points and leave," I said

"Y..yes, here, we´ll never disturb you, we promise..." They hurriedly transferred their points and run away.

"Sorry for the interruption of your lesson mister?" Me

"I´m Mr. Steinfield. I have to say, that was astounding, you cut their air supply didn´t you?" Mr. Steinfield

Don't they have the concept of oxygen? As expected.

"Yes, I did. " Me

"And without an incantation...." Mr. Steinfield

"I don´t need incantations." I said and there came many "what´s?" from my classmates.

"I already heard that but did not believe it. But you'll have to learn the incantations nonetheless. Voiceless incantation is only based on your imagination and understanding of your element. You have to know the spells in case you can't imagine something." Mr. Steinfield

"Certainly," I said.

He started his lesson and explained to us why we couldn't cast spells of a higher Tier than we were.

It's said, that the god´s stop us from hurting ourselves.

But other say that it would take too much mana for a higher spell, which we don´t understand.

We can only reach a higher Tier if we fully understand the spells and what they do, we have to know our element and gain this knowledge with practice. You have to cast the spells countless of times and try to understand how your element works.

He gave each of us a book with incantations up til the 6th Tier and we had to start learning them.

I memorized the whole book in 10 minutes and started to look for a few more special spells.

It seems that I don´t need to understand these spells, that or I already knew them.

Most of these elements were explained in my old world.

The only difference was Void, Light, and Darkness. I know that Light and darkness are just some kinds of x-rays, but here they are also something different.

You can heal with light and darkness can influence your enemy's, making them berserk or torture them.

I don't know much about Void except for the meaning of it and I interpret it as such.

"Everything has its origin in the void. We only take things from the void and give it a name."

With this theory, I can explain everything and could theoretically produce anything. This might be the cause for my ability to produce things out of nothing.

It could be that I change my mana into something that I/humanity took from the void and change it into said something.

Most of these spells were possible with my imagination alone, but there were some, which I could not produce with my imagination, I simply did not know what they do with the nature around me.

Thinks like [Doppelgänger] which produces a copy of yourself with a tenth of your strength.

It´s a mixed spell out of light, earth and water.

It´s not your Naruto doppelganger, you have to set a command and they are fairly stupid.

But you can use them for casting minor spells. Their mana is linked with yours and they'll disappear if you run out of mana.

There is a better version of [Doppelgänger] called [Klon] it´s a Tier 9 spell and produces a clone with half your stats. This clone is autonomous and stays as long as you give him mana.

There´s the spell [Schatten Sprung] it's like teleporting from one shadow to another.

It´s a shadow spell and Tier 4, you can jump 20 meters but could also increase the range with a lot of mana.

I don't understand how they work and have to conjure them.

I also don't know why I don't have to understand said darkness or light.

It might be because I think that darkness and light are just different intensity of light rays.

I also think that darkness and light in their other meaning are not existent.

Everything is dark/evil or light/good if you view it from another perspective.

It could also be because god allowed me, with my wish for an affinity in all elements, to fully use them, without understanding them.

But almost every healing spell is better than my imagination. Sure I can cast specific things but I have to understand the working of said things and I need at least the knowledge of a nurse to heal me, which I haven´t.

The healing spells here simply heal you to some degree, 1-3 bruises, 4-6 minor wounds 7-9 heavy wounds and 10 critical wounds and amputations, you just have to cast the spell.

Ilza´s healing did just work because I had the knowledge of the skin from my school.

I wonder how she does, I realized after my departure that she might get sold, now that she is healed.

I think I should buy her, I could need a maid and she sure was cute.

I think I visit her on the weekend.

I also need spells from higher Tiers, so I walked to Mr. Steinfield and asked.

"Sir, could I speak with you for a minute?"

"Sure." He said and we walked to a corner.

"I´d like to get a new book," I said

"Why? Is there a problem with yours?" Mr. Steinfield

"Not really but I need a book of higher Tiers than the 6th. At best one up til the 10th Tier."

"You know that you have to know all spells of a Tier to get to the next one do you? " He

"Yes but I already know the spells from this book"Me

"As if, you had it for 15 minutes, you can't know all of them," He said not believing me.

Who would believe me? It normally takes them years to learn and cast them.

"I know them, I can conjure all of them." Me

"Is that so? Then show me, let's say a Tier 6 spell, your affinity is fire isn't it?" He

"One of them." Me

"Show me the spell [Feuerschlange]," He said and shouted.

"Class, Clair says she want to show us a Tier 6 spell, the spell [Feuerschlange] please stop your practice and pay attention."

I think he wants me to be embarrassed if I fail, which he obviously expect.

He conjured a few clay dolls I have to hit and signaled me to begin.

I raised my hands and began to cast.

"Ifrit, Herr des Feuers, gewähre mir die Kraft deiner Flammen und schicke mir deinen Diener die Feuerschlange, lasse sie meine Feinde zu Asche verbrennen. [Feuerschlange]!" Me

A giant fiery serpent sprouted from my hands and coiled itself around the clay dolls.

It raised it head and sprouted fire on them, turning them first into bricks and then melting them.

It spew flames for over a minute and then vanished, the once clay dolls are now puddles of molten earth.

The students began to clap and I gave them a shy smile.

"Really good Clair, perfectly executed." Mr. Steinfield said a little baffled and I went back to him.

"Could I get the new book to our next lesson?" Me

"I'll ask the headmaster, I am normally not allowed to show you spells of a higher Tier than the 6th," He said

"Thanks." I replied and went into a corner, testing a few of my new spells.

The lesson finished and we went eating.

None of the other girls ate with Pia and me, they currently have not enough points.

"Your magical display was amazing, no wonder you were so sure of your victory against these three guys." Pia

"You think so? I have thought that Tier 6 spells are more deadly." I replied.

"Are you kidding me? The [Feuerschlange] is able to melt steel and is a high-class spell. Not many students can cast one. You really are a genius in everything aren't ya?" Pia

"Maybe, I hope you don´t tell anyone." Me

"I don´t need to, you did it yourself. Gossip will surely sprout." Pia

"So fast? We're here for just 2 days." Me

"Well, you conjured a spell which normally only a teacher could do. Some will surely request a duel." Pia

"I don't care it's not like they can harm me." Me

"I think some of the higher class students will be jealous, but you showed them what happens if they mess with you." Pia

"I was friendly." Me

"You suffocated them." Pia

"Still better than cutting their tendons and peeling their skin off." Me

"Please remind me to never anger you," Pia said worriedly.

We finished eating and I went to my next class, enchantment.

This one will be interesting, I heard it is possible to create many different things with enchantments.

I heard it´s like a programming language.

It was in a different building and the classroom has many workbenches.

There were some other students and most of them looked like geeks, skinny and not really social.

The teacher came in and introduced herself as Mrs. Toufee

"Hello class, I'm Mrs. Toufee. I´ll teach you ways to create many wonderful enchantments.

The possibilities with enchantments are nearly infinite, you can enchant almost everything with anything.

And the best thing is is that you directly know if it works.

It either does what it should or it does nothing.

There's also a rune which lets you test the functionality of your enchantment if you don't want to activate it directly after applying.

You have two ways of enchanting something, you can either write your enchantment with an enchanting-pen or infuse your finger with mana and write it directly. The second way is much harder and only possible for advanced enchanter but faster and less obvious.

All of you will get an enchanting-pen.

The power of an enchantment differs from each one. You can infuse mana into it and it will, based on the mass of infused mana, create different results, stronger or weaker.

There are two kinds of enchantments.

Enchantments you have to activate and enchantments which work until they depleted all their infused mana. But you can put rules for activation on your enchantment.

If you for example only want your enchantment to activate if you're hurt. Then you have to put runes on it which scan your body for wounds and if it detects a wound they'll send a signal to another rune which then activates the enchantment.

That is the introduction to enchantments in a few sentences.

Today's lesson is a little test of me, you have to create an enchantment.

I'll write the alphabet of enchantments on the blackboard they're called runes.

All of you get a piece of wood, which you have to enchant until next week." She finished her introduction of enchantments and wrote a series of symbols on the blackboard.

"It doesn't matter which enchantment you put on the wood, but it has to work," She said while handing out the wood and tools for enchanting.

"I don't expect any of you to success, I only want to show you how hard it is to create new enchantments." She said and sat down at her desk.

I memorized the runes and tried to write a rune, my drawing skill helps a lot.

I wrote some different runes on it.

Ding!

Skill:

Enchanting

Enchant everything with anything, there's no limit for your enchantments. Weapons, armors, toilets, even food.

The skills drawing and mana manipulation support this skill and it is possible to write your runes directly from the third level. LV 0

Maxed and now identify on my wood.

A Piece of Wood

Someone who has no idea of enchanting wrote some runes on this piece of wood. These runes are perfectly written but doesn´t make sense. Burning it would be the best idea.

Well, I expected it.

I looked at the blackboard for some different runes and they suddenly were like my native language.

I instinctively knew which runes could be used and which not. It also felt like I knew how to write "sentences" with them.

This is amazing, I really am able to enchant everything with anything. There might be an enchantment that stops the aging....

"Mrs. Toufee?" Me

"Yes? Do you have problems?" She asked.

"No, I´ve a question. Is it possible to stop aging with enchantments?" Me

"There were attempts, but no one succeeds. Your control over your mana has to be perfect and the runes are extremely long.

We theoretically know how we do it but are not able to write them in the right way.

We came to the conclusion that it´s not possible." She answered.

Strange, it might be hard but surely would be possible with the skill on level 9.

"Which skill level is the highest recorded?" I asked.

"I think the highest one was level 8 but the person who archived that died years ago." Mrs. Toufee

Level 8 is incredible high for people on this world.

I said "Thanks" and got back to my piece of wood, I now know that I am able to erase the runes.

I erased them and wrote some runes for hardening on it. If I activate the enchantment it will get as hard as iron.

I don't want to overdo it.

The lesson finished and I handed my piece of wood in.

I walked back home and wrote some runes on my dark armor.

It now has self-repair, self-clean, auto-size-adjustment and resistance against magic.

I made it so that it works automatic and uses mana which I infused beforehand, but it is rechargeable.

It will hold for a few hundred years if I don´t fight every day. I put at least 800 million mana in it. The rune for so much mana was on a level 10 skill and nobody should have such a rune on this planet.

The drainage of this much mana strangely made me not exhausted, I should need 8000 seconds (2 hours) for a complete recharge of my mana but it was not drained at all, it was still 999.999.999. Strange.

I put my dark armor in my inventory and walked to Hira and her daughter, let's see if we can manage something for them....
