Chapter 2

Jacob hums at the paperwork in front of him. He is a professor of Alternate Magic and Combat Magic in the academy. Now, he can think of it clearly: the headmaster really wants him to fail in his assignment because he knows that the headmaster already knows about his capabilities.

Alternate magic is a study of people who use other kinds of magic than formal magic, which ninety percent of people in the world use. As for Combat Magic, it is a job that requires him to teach his students how to use magic in combat.

The previous Jacob does not think how the headmaster wanted him to fail because he is on cloud nine and already thinking of revenge against his former family. He wants to make his step-sister's life miserable when she arrives at the academy.

Now? Now, he does not care and only wants to explore this world and enjoy his second chance.

"Now… Which magic system should I teach them?"

He has four magic systems that he got from the CYOA. The first one is a Colored Magic from Magic: The Gathering. The second one is Witchcraft and Wizardry from Harry Potter. The third one is Clevercraft from Elder Scroll. The last one is Magic from Final Fantasy.

He also has Pre-Mending Planeswalker power but it is not something he can teach to the students.

He wondered which one he should choose to teach. After a few seconds, he decided to choose the Clevercraft because it is the easier magic system to teach. Ista already assures him that his magic will work and his students can learn the magic system.

With that in mind, he starts to write what he needs to teach them.

==||==

Rose Bexley looks around the academy with a massive smile on her face. She is a lucky person. After dying from overworking, she gets reincarnated into her favorite Otome game, White Feather.

It is an Otome Game that combines RPG and Strategy genres. There is combat and base building in the game. Not only that, you can also choose if you want to play as a woman or a man. That is why this game is very popular for both genders.

She plays this game a lot. Because there are a lot of capture targets in this game, she has a fun time choosing the combination of targets she wants to capture.

However, with the game becoming real life, she decided to take the easy route. She will take the Reverse Harem route and get as many princes as possible. It will make her life easier, and she will get pampered by them, just like in the game.

However, she must do well in the next class to get close to the first target.

The next class is the Alternate Magic class, in which they will learn how to use magic that is not formal magic. According to the game, the first alternate magic will be ritual magic. It is easy because she already studied all of the ritual magic when she was a child.

However, the problem is not the magic but rather the one teaching that magic.

Jacob Holmes is the first villain of the game. He is a jealous man who wants to destroy his step-sister's career as a mage. Sadly, because of the protagonist, her, his plan will be thwarted.

She takes a seat and looks around the room. Because the Alternate Magic class is compulsory, all of the students are here. She looks at her captured target and gives them a kind smile when they look at her.

However, before she can do more, the door to the class opens, and she can see the professor walking through the door. Jacob Holmes walks to his desk and looks around for a few seconds before saying.

"Good morning, class."

"Good morning, professor."

The students greet him back. Jacob nods and waves his hand. A second later, the chalk floats and moves on its own. The chalk writes his name on the blackboard while he looks at the students.

"My name is Jacob Holmes. You can call me Professor Jacob or Professor Holmes. As you know, I am your Alternate Magic professor and Battle Magic instructor. However, we will be learning Alternate Magic at the moment."

Rose blinks at what she reads on the blackboard. 

"Today, we will learn how to use Clevercraft."

What she read is not Ritual Magic.

"Professor."

One of the students raises her hand, and Jacob nods at her.

"What is your name? And what is your question?"

"My name is Natasha Marsh."

Rose notes that Natasha is one of the most popular side characters in the game. She is not a capture target, but she has a great role in the story as a supporting character who helps the protagonist and their party in the game.

"As for my question, what kind of magic is Clevercraft? Is it the same as an Alchemy? The magic that requires a lot of knowledge."

"No. Clevercraft is not like an Alchemy. Let me demonstrate."

Jacob looks at the training dummy in the corner of the room and opens his palm. He thrust his hand forward and released a torrent of fire from his palm. It does not take long before the dummy burns into ashes.

The students look at him in shock because chantless magic is rare, and only a very powerful mage can do it.

After he is done, he looks at the students and says.

"This is Clevercraft. It is a magic system that uses the formation of stars to form magic. This is called Flames. It is a beginner-level spell that releases a torrent of fire that burns your opponent. This spell is under the School of Magic of Destruction."

Another person raises his hand.

"Yes?"

"My name is Alby Elliott. As for my question, if that spell is from one of the Schools of Magic, how many schools of magic are there?"

"That is for you to discover. I shall teach you two of them: Destruction and Restoration. These two are a good foundation for you and a path that will give you enough knowledge to open the other School of Magic."

The students release excited noises. Jacob let them in for a few seconds before continuing.

"For now, let's start with the theory."

He waves his hand, and a second later, the students start to float, and they scream in excitement and confusion. Rose looks around in shock because nothing has happened here in the game.

Her eyes get bigger when she sees the entire class change. The class becomes flat, and the chair becomes a comfy-looking pillow.

Jacob waves his hand and slowly puts the students on the pillow.

"Now! Let's start first with meditation so you can create the formation of the stars in your mind to cast the spell. Is there any question before we start?"

Rose raises her hand.

"Yes?"

"Rose Bexley, professor. As for my question, when will we learn what you did?"

And her question gets the attention of the entire class. What he did is something that many of them want. Changing a solid object into something else is another high-ranking magic, and Jacob did it without any help from a wand or magic staff.

"Depends on your performance. I shall teach you."

Jacob smiles a little at the cheer from his students.

"Alright! Let's start the meditation! Close your eyes and follow my voice."
