Back on Tracks [4]

After Ryfin was done explaining the matters of how an incantation-driven spell is converted into a magic circle-driven one, he told the students, and we started off practicing the lighting-type custom magic spell he'd shown us in the beginning. 

He made one of the workers bring an easel and then pinned an extensive white paper on it, which was painted with a magic circle—the same as the one that appeared before Ryfin's palm when he cast the spell back then. 

The students started memorizing the magic circle with all the efficiency they could muster. Some were glaring at it attentively, while the others were drawing it in their notebooks over and over again in hopes of engraving the patterns in their brains during the process. 

There were a few confident ones too, those who were done in the span of a few minutes and went on to blast off the lighting. Only to embarrass themselves in front of the whole class.
