Affinity theories

I am called by the principal. Apparently, it is decided that it is pointless for me to attend physical combat class. But the academy is not going to make a refund. Instead, I am given the rights to join any affinity class when mine is on combat practical. That is good. But I am greedy. In exchange for my tutorial to instructors, I shall freely gain access to academy's AA library record.

"Fair enough" Well, the instructors have access to our's for training needs, so it is nothing new. But my name has to be officially registered to the kingdom's records. Private tutoring can be classified as illegal depending on scale. Teaching to son etc is fine. But opening a training school requires registration. And by holding my own against another instructor is more than enough to gain approval.

Me being the extra student for affinity class means all seats are taken and I have to carry one in from my classroom. The lecturer is going on and on on common usage of affinities.

I am currently a little bit of famous person between instructors and lecturers for being the special entity.

"So for Kei, do you want to add something?" You wanted me to add something? Granted.

"So, Sir, what is your affinity?"

"Fire." He said proudly.

"Useless for this demonstration." I shook my head and look around.

"Mira. I remember you being water affinity from last combat class. Come on up."

Mira, she actually knew what is using water to do light reflection. Commendable. I can see that she held back during the spar, forcing a draw declaration. Hence, this is my little present for you.

"I am going to physically lightly hit you twice. If you can understand what I meant, you will unlock a new world." I softly whispered to her, but not to her ear.

I started by giving a light punch to her shoulder, followed by just two fingers. Both striking at same force.

"See, I actually used the same force to hit you twice but on a different way. Now try your usual water release, continuous flow." She did. "Now, focus on how you release the water, restrict the water output area like from a punch to two fingers like I did."

"Vroom!" A loud splashing sound hit against the tap. Great, she got my idea. Pressurised water jet. Maybe some veterans in army used it? I don't know. But I am able to bring it up as something not taught in academy. Communicating with smart people is always nice.

"Kei?" Sir just tapped on my shoulder, the other hand pointing on himself….Fine. I shall let him taste the two strikes. He has heard the rest of my theory.

"Hmm…" Sir went ahead and open the window. He started with a basic fireball. Then, follows my theory on restricted long release.

Great. Someone mastered the flamethrower.

"The lesson ends here, regarding to kei's addition. Do not try it out on your own. We will discuss a proper way to include this for you all."

My name is Hanbo Alexander. I usually introduce myself as Hanbo. In this whole academy, only the principal knows that I am an actual royal bloodline.

Today I just wanted to make sure Kei doesn't get too much ahead of himself. Never did I knew he came up with totally new way of affinity usage method. Though it places major stress on mana circuit due to excessive flow. This move can decide someone's life or death. 

"Perfect timing. Just nice Maria hasn't left. I shall throw this information to the king through her."

Still, this is not something one can just casually teach anyone. Now my palm hurts.

By the way, can anyone explain to me what is that sticky stuff sitting on Maria's bowl?

My name is Maria Alexander. The current third princess of Alexander Kingdom. Previously I have sent a letter on sugarcane. Drew a picture of the plant and wrote a separate instruction on the goo making. I am not sure why is heating on small fire needed? Is it just the water alone is no good? Kei's answer is for safety reason. Is it actually not safe for consumption?

"You may enter." I replied to the door knock. My uncle, Hanbo, is being escorted in by my maid. He just came in and displayed his new fire magic. Good thing he still remembers to shoot his flames outside the windows. I am not paying for damages despite having the money. Hanbo should.

Damn uncle, throwing his job to me.

But hmm, eating these sweet goo does made my train of thought clearer. Is that piece of log that amazing?

My name is Mira. Alexander Kingdom Academy branch 2 first year student. I live by the lake and hence frequently blinded by the reflecting light.I thought I was the first one to employ such tactic. No, I am not.

Today, lecturer Hanbo is obviously aiming against Kei for some reason. But Kei, why did you involve me..

Unlocking a whole new world? You sure talk big. You just wanted to touch me right? Fine, I'll play along.

Ouch, the second poke is actually more painful. Controlling water flow? Isn't it common sense to release as much magic out against the opponent to deal the largest damage..

But wait, although using the same force, him using only two fingers had more impact. Heh, don't be underestimating me!

"Vroom!" An accelerated water flow surges out of me. But deep inside me I am screaming OUCH! The accelerated water flow do made louder noise compared to just my water release earlier. If my version is a splash from pail, his method definitely made water start cutting. Damn positive on it. Why? My palm hurts too.

Yes lecturer Hanbo. Your decision is right. Do not just try this technique alone.

Kei didn't lie. A new world did open up for me. Fine, I..I…I shall allow you hit on me, in various meanings.
