After the morning lectures, Snow turned the pages of his notebook back to the first few pages and became extremely satisfied when he saw his hand writing. "Beautiful..."
"Is that a thing to say when you have a nice hand writing? But it is indeed beautiful." he turned his head around and noticed two young ladies on his left and one on his right as the three stares at his notebook. "It's even nicely formatted for taking down notes."
He closed his notebook and kept it to his bag before looking at them saying, "Care to tell me your names? I am just a new student after all." he smiled as he finally got a good look at the three young ladies.
"That's right, I'm Kitayama Shizuku. Surname first before my given name, I think this applies to most, if not all, Japanese names." Shizuku is quite short for her age but the solemn air and manners she had made him think that she came from a rather wealthy family.
"I'm Mitsui Honoka, nice to meet you!" while the young lady was shy, she pulled through her introduction which made Snow smile all the more before he set his eyes on the last lady.
"Shiba Miyuki, it is a pleasure to meet you." she spoke in a slow manner but it is natural with her bearings of an ojou-sama as he had been informed by Kokonoe about his disciple and that disciple's little sister, Miyuki.
"Then I'll introduce myself again, I'm Snow Nightshade with given name first before my surname. It is indeed a pleasure to meet you three." he extended for a handshake as he did this with all three before looking around the classroom and seeing young students looking at the group of four with varying emotions.
"Snow-san... is it alright to call you that?" Shizuku asked while he shook his head and replied, "Drop the honorifics, I'm used to being called Snow so do call me that." to which the three young ladies nod.
"Then Snow, why use notebooks instead of the terminal? There are activation sequences flashed on the board during the lecture, how did you take note of it?" Shizuku asked as she was more interested in magic design classes than the magic casting classes which is just training to get used to improve the processing speed of the Magic Calculation Area.
"Oh, activation sequences? I don't use them." he told them honestly which surprised the three of them. He demonstrated them a small Movement-type Magic which made a pen stay afloat that made the ladies wondering how he did that without a CAD! Aside from Miyuki who has some guesses.
"You can think of what I'm doing as making my own magic ritual directly since my Magic Calculation Area is somewhat connected to the Information Dimension. Meaning I take in raw data, process it within my mind, create a small domain of where I can directly control or manipulate the Eidos, and boom magic ritual is created just by imagining what type of phenomena I want to happen." Miyuki became wide eyed when she thought of the military potential Snow had thought about!
"By the way, I call the process of taking in the data directly from the Information Dimension to the Magic Calculation Area as Information Processing, and I call the domain I create as Information Domain." Shizuku's eyes shone as she engraved this words deep into her mind.
"But directly taking in data... isn't that quite dangerous and may even fry the MCA?" this time, it was Honoka who questioned the process and Snow complimented her for her great question.
"That is the case if you take in more raw data than your MCA can take, basically it is linked to your magic tolerance. The magic casting itself is based on your effective magic design and your strength on rewriting the eidos which is Interference Strength." he explained as Miyuki thought that it is indeed the case if one doesn't want to fry their MCA and at the same time, it would improve the processing speed of the MCA!
"It gets better if you are able to read activation sequences since it will let you know what magic is being used, making Gram Dispersion possible. Miyuki, cast any harmless magic that you can do." she nodded and made a magic ritual of a simple Oscillation-type Magic.
Snow let it persist for a while in order to tell them that the magic is indeed in effect and he simply snapped his fingers and the magic ritual dispersed but they also felt the usage of another magic.
"That is Gram Dispersion, a much harder but efficient Counter Magic opposite to Gram Demolition which is much easier but is also inefficient." he said before the bell rung to signify that is time for the next period.
"Thank you for the helpful lecture, sensei." Miyuki smiled as she thought about the power of his brother and his proficiency in Counter Magic, and countering Counter Magic.
"Don't call me sensei, this is just something that I've discovered in passing." he said but all three didn't believe it as surely he had to measure how much raw data his MCA can take in all in order not to fry his MCA!

When lunch came, he fixed his belongings before planning to go to the Student Council Office. He wanted to drink tea after all and the members serve good tea.
When he entered, there was no one around making him sigh since it looks like he'll have to make tea for everyone later and so he did, the calming tea perfectly ready soon before he sat down and cultivated the pagoda.
Nearly half an hour later, he stopped after realizing that there is barely any increase in speed if he actively cultivates so he switched his focus on Nature's Wrath and he used Convergent Systematic-type Magic to create a sword made of extremely compressed wind and it was transparent as well.
Unlike others who used the same combat techniques in intervals in order to get a feel of what they're doing wrong, Snow uses his eyes and mind in order to determine what needs improving and if there were any flaws within his combat technique after executing ones.
This type of training results in improvement of the combat technique by leaps and bounds together with a solid foundation in the degree of their proficiency!
Nearly the end of lunch time, he was able to break through to Nature's Wrath LVL72 with no problems before he stopped his training and walked back to class, he didn't even make a sweat during his brief training.
The classes during the afternoon is self study for first period, magic design in second, and lastly magic casting for the third period. The afternoon classes starts from 01:00PM until 04:00PM before they are dismissed.
For self study, Snow focused again on his combat techniques breaking through LVL84 with ease, and when magic design period arrived, he immediately started to take notes before magic casting period arrived.
It's just to train the processing speed of the MCA but he could see some of Class 1A slacking on their magic design and some cutting corners just to get a slight increase in magic casting speed.
"Quite the useless bunch, for our people then cutting corners just like that will get you, well, killed rather easily." he said offhandedly as it was his turn and his casting speed is an astonishing one millisecond!
The lowest amount the device coule give out is exactly one millisecond!
"Even I can't beat that." Miyuki smiled wryly as she placed second followed by Shizuku and Honoka before the others. "Well, this proves the power of the discovery Snow made just in supposed passing." Shizuku commented.
"But entering the fundamental stage of his Information Processing will have a high risk of frying our MCA, we'll have to ask him to guide us in the starting stages." Honoka said as the other two nodded as they saw the person in question coming back to them.
"Pity there's no zero there. If there was then that'll be my score..." he commented before looking at the trio as he chuckled just by seeing their faces. "Alright, I'll help you."
"But a fair warning, you'll pass out the instant you start taking in raw data from the ID and I'll be helping you guys form your Information Domain during your state of unconsciousness so I'll have to touch your head for this." the trio nods before he too nods as they made way to the Student Council Office wherein Mayumi was already there.
She saw the trio together with Snow which made him glare at him but he raised his hand and shook his head which pacified her quite the possesive side but she still glared at him even if only a bit.
He made them sit on the couch on the side before he used psion to transfer information to them as they started to connect their MCA to the Information Domain as all of them fell unconscious.
He touched their foreheads, programming the psion to create a domain covering a meter which he knew is their current limit. They'll be experiencing a low sap of mental energy but they'll be fine after a night of sleep excluding this nap of theirs.
"Fumu~! The process is complete, now come here Yumi." he sat on the other couch as he patted his lap which made Mayumi excited and happily repeated the same thing that happened earlier morning.
"Tell me, how did you suddenly appear?" she asked as she hugged his waist while her face was deep into his stomach and Snow only smiled while saying, "Teleportation is a thing of Ancient Magic you know? How else do you think I came here?".
"As expected, you put the attention to Ancient Magic since we modern magician don't have much clue on Ancient Magic aside from the magicians who wants to make magic but need research of Ancient Magic."
"Pagoda can also be considered Ancient Magic but the risk of analyzing and replicating the effects of it is enormous that several magicians have already died trying."
Snow nods as he had already expected the Saegusa clan to try and replicate his pagoda but the destructive property of Taiji in the pagoda will not let anyone try to do something on it.
"Looks like it was bloody." he chuckled as Mayumi pinched his side but she relaxed the more time she spends hugging Snow. "Wake me up when the others are here and want to talk about something important."
He nods and caress her hair before looking at the window and seeing the orange setting sun as he waved his hand and the destructive property of Taiji destroyed every hostile magician in the distance, sent by the other Master Clans.
There was a spy of the Yotsuba though but he let it live considering that the Yotsuba wants a cooperation than become each other's enemy.
