The Informative Class

When White arrived in the classroom, he chose to sit next to Emma, rather than Robert like in the plot. They continued their previous conversation while waiting for Summoning Class to begin.

The teacher of the first grade Summoning Class, Professor Sarah Silver stepped into the classroom one second before the class bell rang.

The classroom, which was particularly noisy because of the freshness of their new enrollment, fell silent for a moment.

It's not that the freshmen actually closed their mouths, but as Professor Silver entered, a wave of magic went through the classroom, making the sound disappear instantly!

The Noble House is made up of students that are part of the nobility and have received pre-school elite education. Most of them had immediately realized that Professor Silver had used a card, the [Silence Card]!

However, most people in Knight House have no relevant knowledge of such concepts.

One student, Robert, even yelled out of fear, parts of his cheeks and neck turning red as if he was cooked.

When Professor Silver walked to the table and lifted the mute, Robert's scream sounded!

"Ah—"

Professor Silver lifted her pale-gold hair to the back of her pointed ears and said indifferently.

"Brogheim, since it's the first class, I will not deduct your credits for now."

"Before the class begins, let's start with the school rules, which I believe the vast majority of you haven't read yet. I am Sarah Silver, half-elf and professor of summoning classes at St. Marian's Academy."

A class at St. Marian's has ninety minutes, starting with the first class at eight in the morning, with a half-hour break between classes, and ending with the second class at 11:30 p.m. In the afternoon, there is only one class starting at two.

The Academy adopted a credit system and just like Hogwarts, it had a House Cup. Unlike the House Cup award in Hogwarts, in this academy, it was a real Holy Grail!

The "Marian Holy Grail" is said to be a magic artifact that has existed since the founding of the academy and is also known as the "Wishing Cup" because of its power to fulfill prayers.

Among the four houses, the house with the highest credits can win the House Cup. The Wishing Cup will provide everyone in year one to year six of this academy with a chance to make a wish.

Whether it was a freshman from the Noble House or a freshman from the Knight House, everyone inside the room couldn't help but talk to each other the moment they heard the words 'Wishing Cup' come out from Professor Silver's mouth.

Robert, who was seemingly unconcerned about the fuss he made earlier, was the loudest freshman from the Knight House and kept on shouting with excitement to the extent that his neck had turned red.

"Hey, White! Did you hear what the Professor said? As long as we get the Wishing Cup, everyone from the Knight House can make a wish!"

"Don't get too excited now, Emma. The professor only said that we would get the chance to make a wish and didn't exactly tell us that it would be fulfilled."

White remembered that Dark used the cup multiple times, despite Noble House not winning, because of his various contributions. It also showed that the cup was not a panacea, as it wasn't all powerful. Hell, the wishing cup even bears the inscription: "He who is greedy has nothing."

So, he wasn't as excited as his fellow classmates when it came to the cup.

This time, Professor Silver did not use the [Silence Card], but instead waited for everyone to tone their voices down before saying, "In addition to determining the House Cup's winner, the credits are St. Marian's hard currency. Using these credits, you can go to the Traveller Street to purchase anything you want. Additionally, you can also use them as a means of trading with any teachers and students from St. Marian. Of course, every transaction will be recorded by the sorting card, and only legitimate transactions will be accepted by the school. And just to be clear, does everyone present here know how to obtain credits?"

White put up his hand immediately, which startled Emma who was right next to him. Since he had read the novel, he had an understanding of how important credits were, and this was a good opportunity to get some.

Professor Silver turned her head towards White and directly called his name out, "White Gawd you can answer it."

After contemplating on his answer, he finally answered smoothly, "There are a lot of ways to obtain credits. The easiest one is by taking classes seriously. You can get 10 credits for each class. Answering the professor's questions correctly can also earn you extra points. Furthermore, the results of the final exams can also be converted into credits. Another way to gain credits is by participating in Magic Duels."

"Excellent, Gawd. I'll give you 5 points for that."

Professor Silver clapped and signaled White to sit down, and then continued to add, "He's right about earning extra points by answering questions asked by the professor correctly. However, if any of you have misbehaved during the class, the Professors also have the right to deduct some points. In addition, the Magic Dueling Competition in St. Marian is highly valued, in which case, an enormous number of credits can be obtained by every participating House. As to how one can participate, the professor in charge of the duel will tell you. Now then, let's officially start our class. Please open your Elementary Summoning Guide textbook."

After that, Professor Silver began to teach about the most basic summoning techniques.

Summoning was a technology based on magic cards that could summon various things that were sealed inside it, such as spirits, items, potions and so on.

It was said that if you advanced at a deeper level, there were various types of summoning techniques that could be performed, such as sacrifice summoning, fusion summoning, ritual summoning, and reversal summoning.

Some magic cards were also equipped with special summoning spells!

The proficiency of the summoning technique determined how many magic cards a dueler could use at the same time.

In short, if you need 5 seconds to cast a summoning spell, and your opponent only needs 3 seconds, they can attack 2 seconds earlier than you. And if your Summoning CD (Cooldown) is 30 seconds long, you wouldn't even get the chance to use your third magic card within the one-minute range.

Just like what the famous dueling master Roman Fomynok had once said, "Summoning can determine the upper and lower limits of a dueler."

The task that the students needed to perform in this lesson was to use the summoning technique that could summon the familiar spirit stored in the sorting card.

Professor Silver spent half an hour talking about the school regulations, another half about teaching the initial theory of summoning, and finally another half that was left for the students to experiment.
