"Ugh, thanks sensei." The students who were unable to create a perfect circle said as they kept their head down. Meanwhile the four who actually had the perfect circle done easily had their heads up as they waited for Ms. Trista's next step.
"Alright, next what you students will want to do is produce magic on your fingers." Ms. Trista said as she lifted up her index finger and moved all the MP that was in her body to make a visible blue light appear at the tip of her finger that acted as blue flames.
"Err, teacher how do we do that?" Someone in the class asked her.
"It's actually pretty simple. All you need to be able to do is feel your MP and move it towards your finger causing enough MP to be gathered to form a visible object." Ms. Trista said as she explained the obvious.
"Err… Ms. Trista, how do we feel MP?" The student asked again as he scratched his head.
"You've got to be kidding me." Ms. Trista said as she looked at the kid.
"Did you family not teach you anything about the basics of magic? Actually, do you even know how to use magic?" Ms. Trista said as she started to berate the poor student.
"U-u-umm.. S-sensei, w-w-well y-y-you see…" The student started to stutter as he tried to explain it to Ms. Trista who was glaring at him, as well as all the other students that were looking at him. Especially the females that wanted to stay far away from him as they gave him looks of disgust.
"M-my family is one that trains in the sword!" The student said very quickly as he kept his head down so he wouldn't see everyone's face.
"Hmph, fine. You better find a way to use MP otherwise good luck, or you can find someone who is kind enough to do the work for you." Ms. Trista said as she completely looked away from him.
"Y-yes…" The student said as he kept his head hung in embarrassment.
'Just you wait all of you. I'll show you when it is physical education.' He thought inside his head as he clenched his fists and couldn't wait to see the faces of people who looked at him in disgust and disdain in utter awe or shock.
"Alright, if you literally are the same as him. You better find a way to find MP or ask someone else. Now then, when you can form an object like visible substance as this one in my finger, you draw the symbols inside the circle. Just not any though." Ms. Trista said as she demonstrated.
"These symbols need to be used in combination for magic to actually happen. For example, the symbol 火 and 災 is for fire." Ms. Trista said as she wrote the two down and then inputted MP into the magic circle before it released small flames inside the circle.
"Woaah!!!" The students exclaimed in excitement as they saw the magic on the paper being released and realized if they could have many of it, they could potentially save more MP, or save more time on chanting.
"Alright, here's some tracing blocks for you guys so it can make it easier for you to draw the symbols." Ms. Trista said as she handed out two 火 and 災 symbols to the students with wind magic.
"Now you kids try." Ms. Trista said as she sat back at her desk and watched the students attempt and fail multiple times, as they could not control their MP the moment it touched the tracing blocks.
However, unlike many other students. Sylvie who had learned Japanese was already used to drawing the letters and did not need the tracing block and wrote the symbol on the paper like it was nothing.
After doing that, she than sat back and watched all the other students fail as she did not want to reveal that she had completed it in one try.
"Elise, don't use the tracing blocks. It's made to disrupt your MP flow the moment you touch it." Sylvie said to Elise who was trying her best to keep the magic flames on her fingers as she wrote on the tracing blocks.
"Is that so? But how will I draw the symbols then?" Elise said as her forehead was beaded with sweat due to her level of concentration.
"Why don't you just use wind magic to carry your hand as you keep it stationary? It will be accurate that way, just imagine the symbol as you keep MP on the tip of your finger." Sylvie said as if it was easy.
"Sylvie, you do realize. Using more than one different magic at a time is difficult right?" Elise said as she stared at Sylvie.
"Oh my bad, I kinda got used to it when I was young. Er, why don't you just try tracing your finger over the tracing block multiple times without the use of MP before trying to do it on paper without the block?" Sylvie recommended to Elise.
"Alright!" Elise said as she did what Sylvie said before being able to write down the two symbols on her magic circle.
"I did it Sylvie!" Elise said happily as she hugged Sylvie, allowing Sylvie to hug her back.
"Yep~" Sylvie said.
…
'Ugh… Why won't my MP flow? It keeps going away!' Alice thought to herself as her forehead was already beaded with sweat.
'I wonder how that little girl is doing?' Alice thought as she looked towards Sylvie who was helping Elise.
'There's no way she's done! Why is that other girl just tracing her finger on the tracing block without any MP formed at her fingertips?' Alice thought to herself as she continued to observe them for a few more minutes.
'No way! She actually copied down the two symbols that way!? That's smart, she got used to it before copying it down. I should tell Nunu and do this too!' Alice thought to herself.
"Nunu," Alice called for the other girl.
"Y-yes? T-this is so difficult… Ha~" Nunu said as she breathed heavily due to how exhausted she was.
"Try tracing your fingers on the tracing block for a while without MP until you get used to the symbol's shape before trying to copy the symbol down on the magic circle without the tracing block." Alice said as she started doing what Elise had done.
"A-Alright… Ha~" Nunu said as she breathed in again.
After a few minutes of the two girls trying to get down the shape of the symbol did they finally remember before pasting it down onto the magic circle.
"It worked!" Nunu said happily as she hugged Alice, in return for Alice to hug her back.
"Indeed!" Alice said as she hugged Nunu happily.
