The sun rose to mark the start of the day as I finished my morning jog, walking into my one bedroom, one bathroom home I took my shoes off at the door and went to the bathroom for a shower. After washing away the sweat from my workout I left home, locking the door behind me.
I made it to the academy before they finished serving breakfast. I scarfed down my eggs, bacon, and mini muffin then left for my first class.
I made my way up the stairs to the second floor of the main academy building keeping my head down as I went. Walking into the medium size classroom I made my way to my seat and sat quietly waiting for the lesson to begin.
"Mythical's harness the magical energy that courses through our veins and use it to call upon their elemental power. This gives ordinary people like you and me the ability to conjure and manipulate an element using nothing more than our bodies and control over magic." The instructor began.
My first class was on mythical fundamentals and history. The class is mostly just listening to the lectures and taking tests from time to time.
"Now people couldn't always use magic. Before we were able to use the elemental arts we would have to rely on other means to survive. Making regular weapons to defend ourselves and building fires from material provided by nature to cook food and stay warm."
"It wasn't until later in our existence that the power of magic was bestowed upon us, and that power was bestowed by?" Scanning the room the instructor looked past the raised hands of the classes elite, zeroing in on me slouched down in the back of the classroom he said "Kaiser, tell me who gave us the power to use magic and the elements of the world?"
"Uh, it was the elemental deities. They were losing the war against Vyce, the deity of darkness, and her demon army so to turn the tide of battle the other six deities blessed us with their divine element, in return we helped them defeat the demon lords."
With a smile, the instructor boasted "that's correct, well done. Now as Kaiser said the deities blessed humanity with a divine element. Each person received one elemental blessing from a deity, this gave that person the ability to create and control said element. The strength of this element depends on the magical supply of the wielder." He paused adding "who can tell me the names of our elemental deities?"
Cedric Boltic, one of the classes elite, raised his hand saying "there's Fenra the deity of fire, Parion the deity of water, Geoldus the deity of earth, Gaillia the deity of air, Riagen the deity of lightning, Lucian the deity of light, and Vyce the demon goddess and deity of darkness. Did I miss anyone?" He finished.
Giving him a few claps the instructor said "good job Cedric you didn't miss any." Taking a step back and scanning the class he questioned. "Is everyone understanding?"
A few people nodded and mumbled that they understood but most were talking with their friends, sleeping, or staring off into nothing. The rest of the class went the same as the beginning, near the end of class the instructor handed out papers with questions about the days' lesson.
Slowly everyone finished their worksheets and spent the remaining time talking and goofing off. soon class ended and we were all dismissed.
