"This is?"
In a forest filled with nothing but trees and bushes, the students arrived in an empty field, big enough to held an olympics...One of the student, questioned as this area is nothing but full of earthen ground. Well, this ground is inside the Tower of Cacophony so calling it a forest rather than a training ground isn't a farfetched.
"Its obvious, this is your training ground from now on...if you're here, do not use magic but trains only your body. For now run at least one round! Now go!"
Saying so, his students doubted at first but they started to run their wits after...
..."Uhm, teacher" the girl with raven short hair and covers one of her eye with bangs while at the same time has deep black pupil with twig-like arm, raised her hand and stated "My body couldn't keep up with this training, I don't have a good physique...what do I do?"
"Hmm?" Luginas squinted and looked at her and indeed her skin has indefinite and grim color compare to a normal child. The man then moved his heel and pointed her forehead with "pat---" muttering sound with the tip of his finger.
"Eh?" Looking at her hand and body thereafter, she feel lightened. "W-what did you do, teacher?"
"Nothing, I just repair your goblet..."
"G-goblet? What's that?"
"If I told you, you'll feel complacent so I'd rather not, now go!"
"B-but teacher! Even a renowned doctor couldn't identify what kind of disease I had but right now, why do I feel lightened?"
"You burn your Karma, I don't know why you did such stupid thing but thanks to it, your body couldn't keep up from your growing Karma, so it deteriorate your health in the process...if I didn't repair it, you only live in less than a year"
"R-right! That's what the doctor said so! I won't live more than a year so I came here to learn to be a renown doctor on my own! It's also true that I burn my Karma because of a certain incident b-but"
"Hah!? What did you say!?" Luginas trembled and sweated, "then you will quit now that you recover?!" He remembered that this elites here will be the future generation, if one of them quits, Grunt would grind him for sure.
"N-no, of course not! My goal is the same! If my goal the last time is to treat my disease then my next goal is to treat others too!" Luginas sigh in relief hearing her words. And unlike seconds ago who don't have any life in each word, her tone and voice right now is quite lively. "T-then teacher, mind if I ask what is that goblet thing?" Others who almost starts to run, lend their ear in curiosity but Luginas flicked his finger as they flew off ten meter in the process, stating them to "Run!"
Luginas covers his face, after "Its my own term don't mind it..." But her eyes are sparkling as if finding a new light. Luginas sigh in defeat and answers "Karma is of course a form of magic, but goblet is what the one who holds it...in which, that is what our body, like literally...so burning once Karma means you destroying the goblet it holds...meaning, it'll leak and deteriorates your body in the process. That renown doctor you are talking about is nothing but a fraud. He can't even see a normal disease to a Karma? So stupid" Luginas cussed out.
"But teacher, that doctor---argh forget it" The girl scratches her head and couldn't believe "Thank you very much teacher! From now on, I'll follow your order and dedicate my life in order to attain my goal! I, Rururina swore to become the renown magician and doctor from now on!" so she excitedly proclaimed and started to run, following others. Seriously, Luginas can't understand. If it was him, he'll going to return home instead after the treatment.
"Tsk, is this what happen if you hide yourself to the world? I don't know anymore what's definite answer to a normal question." she sigh and thereafter, his voice shakes the atmosphere "By the way Rurururu, explain it to others if they asks! Its troublesome to repeat it to others!"
Rururina gloomed after. Why call her Rurururu, anyway? Heaing it, she only pouted and didn't look at Luginas.

Seating leisurely and skimming the books in his hand, Luginas students looked at him in dead silence. "What? Is something the matter?" He asks.
"Teacher, its been a week and you haven't told us why you only let us used one element...most of us also can fire Magic Bullets, although not as precise as you..."
"Ahh that?" Luginas closed the book with one hand. "Did you learn anything? The physical training, the only elements you should use...can some of you explain what happened during then? Or felt something? Now tell me"
One of them raised his hand, it was the lion-mane kid called Kingsley. "I did! I felt like I am now more proficient than the lightning I've always used since I was a child"
"Same! Although water is not my strong point, I felt like I leaped to a new heights!" The cyan-haired girl answers this time.
"And? Nothing more?"
The demon-kin lady answers, "The Dark element, teacher...actually, I never use it even once in my lifetime that is why I felt shock and afraid so why was it of all element I proficient with, to be my element? I don't get it"
"Why? Because the rift I created knows what is the weakest element you have in your arsenal" Luginas explained.
"That's it!" "Damn it!" "As I thought! So that's why it was too hard to use it!" murmur echoes throughout the room, started to unfold while others punch their own table.
"Its impossible to a normal people, but some of you did overcome it, be glad on your performance...for others, keep on improving. After then that your other main elements can strengthen"
"Then master!" this time, It was Elle who questioned, "Why are we doing that physical thing? Is that actually part of being magician?" Because Rumi couldn't cope up as she's not physically fit in the first place. Elle is the one who asks in her stead.
"Nope, not really..." sticking up his nose, Luginas flatly replied.
Eh????? Again, murmurs echoed.
"But it will help you all increase your stamina and physical body, so that in the long run you won't become the burden to others. Would that hit your pride as an elite if you can't keep up with others? After all, magician is not all about magic, its all about how long they lasts against their adversary" Saying so, Luginas rolled out his booger and flick it to the side.
But hearing his remarks, his class fell in deadly silent again..."So from now on, all you have to do is to us Magic Bullet with your weakest element and train your body, not only you can obtain an absolute control over your magic but also your body. I want you all to be an 'Magic Warrior' who can run through the battlefield while bombard magic. Isn't that fun? HAHAHAHA" so he laugh wickedly.
His student didn't know weather they will laugh, cry or feel fear. Luginas then stopped laughing and said "I'll ask Grunt---your Director to provide more training equipment. You should properly train your body. Isn't it intimidating if you have Muscular body while in the battlefield?
All of his students covers in black gloomy aura and think about their muscular body while wearing magician equipment...but the lion-mane boy stands up in his seat and raised his hand, showing his biceps "Then I'll be the Magic Brawler! I'll wrestle enemy while bombarding them with magic!"
*slap* *slap* Hearing his remarks. His classmates face palmed.
"Hahahaha! Good good! our little lion will be the first Magic Brawler in the history, then!" Luginas laugh aloud.
Of course he partially jested and inside the 'Magic Warrior' but who would have thought someone would buy it. He really is an idiot! The classmate of lion-mane boy, thought so in unison.
