Teachings {2}

"Call me Shon Ellen or Teacher Shon. That's better than calling me an instructor. I'll show you how to further use your black magic for battle, are you ready Daris?" He smiled, raising his round golden cooling glass at eyes. He circled his arm around my neck. He combed his curly hair backwards while looking at me.

"Sure!" I answered him. Compared to him, I'm a really average looking dude with typical straight black hair and brown iris. I'm skinnier and have been average height since I'm a kid.

Qq"Come on. I'll show you around the battlefield first, let's go." He and I turned to exit the room. He closed the door quietly. He still kept his hand round my neck. "I'll explain to you about the architecture works here."

We walked through the spacious white coloured ceilings and halls with yellow runic patterns inscribed in each wall like a design. Each door in the academy was designed with different designs according to the magic colour and ranking of students. Gold Runic Pattern door is for Senior students, the bronze RunicPattern door symbolizes Junior Student and in between them are copper and silver.

Each door has a different insignia with their magic symbol like a small white hurricane insignia for storm magic placed on the upper half of the door. On each side of the room, there are plants and bushes. Some of them were magical herbs glittering in the sunshine..

I heard the sounds of chitchats, explosions, lectures, and battle cries emerging from each side of the classes.

'I'm going to get lonely if there is no black magic user other than me.' I glanced at the corridor where I got the view of the outside.

Other magic users were battling with each other using some kind physical training methods which I had never seen before. They are using Magical Weapons against each other. Looks like they ended xin a draw?

We descended the staircase, I looked at the girls and boys who were sweating after the Battle. At least they were 11-13 years old brats. When they saw us, especially Shon, they lowered their heads and made a slight voice. "Good Morning, Instructor Shon."

"Good morning, you pests!" He grinned while waving his hand. The female students and teacher's faces turned crimson red.

He started to chat with them.

"..." I was getting annoyed slightly.

He was showing off his handsome looks.

[Hmm. He is using one latent feature of Black Magic. Hypnotic Black Charm, only experienced and high level magus could deploy this Active Spell. With the help of a spell, one can nourish their looks to the peak. You can also use it, when you level up. ]

Cingar arose unconscious and inspected him. He surely is the target of other male instructors' envy and hatred.

[You're wrong. This is an active spell, when it gets activated, it effects respectively to both genders. Capturing the heart of others and enhance their looks the goal of this active spell.]

I wryly smiled. He is much of a mary sue to me.

[I don't think so. He is medium scaled mage, compared to the real giants in this world… He still an ant.]

I looked at him at surprise.

"But his flames proved to be stronger than me…"

[That's because you're still weak. If he would fight in the talent awakening court, with the flick of his sleeve, he would have wiped out an entire kingdom…]

My heart shuddered a bit by imaging that possibility. I made a whisper in my mind.

'If he's that strong, then what the fuck he's doing at this institute?'

[I don't know, but remember what he'd told you. Don't trust him at all, he is simply too powerful for you to handle right now. Probe, his weaknesses and manipulate him.]

I nodded myself as I watched him discontinuing his chat.

He looked at with a refreshing gaze.

"Ok. I'll teach you the first medium level spell — Hell's Moon Scythe Slash." He narrowed both of his eyes.

"Yay!" I smiled.

We then walked into the giant battlefield or stadium. Would this ground be precise? It was as spacious as Rome's Gladiator's stadium. It had enough space for a 1000 sit and watch the battle of students after their classes. The ceiling and walls of this great stadium were grey in colour with blue patterned symbols engraved in each corner. In the north direction there was unique throne seating at the centre. There all kind of weapons and aids here shelved on the side room which we walked past.

Teacher Shon and me were stranding at the side of the stadium. He was toggling with a golden coloured runic stone while using magic to switch the modes.

"For this battle let's use some rocky settings of the battlefield." He smiled by shooting a icicle of black magic towards the rock.

Click!

The whole plane sandy ground turned to into a field of rocks and boulders piled over it each side. They were sharp edged rock and boulders which cannot pierced through any swords. It was a magical ground prepare with using magical technology on overall ground.

'Wow, they really mixing magic and technology here… it might be advance technology compared to earth's current technology.' I was surprised.

[Yes. This world is advanced compared to your earth. In this continent, you'll see many kind of magical technology in various forms and shapes. Be prepare to be surprised more.] Cingar snarled.

"Hey! What are you thinking?" Teacher Shon echoed.

"Huh?" I snapped out of my thinking.

"We haven't started yet and you begin to overthinking?" He smiled.

"N-no teacher shon!" I acted as if I'm stammered.

"Then… watch when I use this medium spell. First you'll need to imagine your weapon, bringing out of most of black magic into palm and shoot precisely at the target!" He positioned himself infront of the big Boulder. He closed his eyes and started to use black magic in palm.

Cross!

A uniquely designed black red scythe appeared in hand. He instantly threw at the target precisely in the air. The double edged scythe through centre at giant rock. It cut depth in those rock into 2 parts.

"Isn't this spell cool?" He grinned. "Then how about a little fun?"

Zing!

Then the big scythe turned aback like boomerang. It moving at my direction, cutting edge over against me.

—That Bastard!

Author's note: Nobody in this academy is trustable. Everyone is a manipulative bastard. You'll know about it more in the future chapters. I've hope, I'd delivered a high quality chapter this time. :)
