With a new day I am looking forward to Professor Frey's magic class I am confident of passing his test, but that does not change my nervousness.
But before his class starts I'm going to try to find Torris to apologize and try to get him to join my group for the next test.
After not seeing him at breakfast I went to the training ground that was done for the training of the earth element that Erick had told me that Torris attended.
Upon arriving in a field of earth and sand that has a handful of scattered rocks as decoration .
I am lucky and I see Torris practicing elemental control of his element. The exercise consisted of playing with the sand. I went to him calmly and without interrupting his concentration, I waited a few minutes until he noticed my presence.
"What do you want, Ulric?"
"Well first of all good morning and secondly I wanted to apologize for the poisonous dust that I attacked in your eyes ."
He looks at me like I'm an idiot.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Why was I wrong to use a poisonous powder in our duel."
I don't think he believed in me.
"You lie very badly, Ulric."
I was right.
"Well the truth is, I don't think it's wrong to use the poisonous powder in your eyes. I wasn't sure if I could beat you in a direct match in the arena. I honestly was at a disadvantage."
"It is to make sure that I would not lose the advantages that come with being first in the rank of our class. I resorted to a strategy with less chance of failure and I think I was right to do this my cultivation is more important than the ' sportsmanship'."
"Do you think I'm wrong, Torris ?"
"I'm not angry with you, Ulric , but I'm not happy with my defeat either. I blame my defeat more on me than on you."
"But to be honest, if you had used a high-level magic tool, I would have an excuse to be angry and resentful at you, but I was only hit by the dust in my eyes because I let my guard down if I had worn my elemental cloak at the beginning of fight the dust would not have entered my eyes. "
"I lost the fight to be hit by cheap dust worse than that if it were dirt instead of dust it was humiliating and frustrating, but I don't think it's just your fault Ulric this is much more my fault than yours."
I'm surprised by Torris' maturity and I think this is going better than I expected .
"Well, I think that is very mature of you, Torris, I thought you would blame me more. But I still think it is necessary for me to apologize, but instead of words I will use the information about the next survival test that I managed to discover, maybe you already know more about the gesture that is important. "
"In the next test, our equipment during the test will be provided by the institute and it will be very simple. I believe it is to test the students' improvisation and creativity capacity, any equipment purchased or given to students and prohibited in the test, but there is a way circumvents the prohibition of the equipment that is the student to manufacture the equipment used in the test, but to manufacture something useful and very difficult. "
"Can this count as an apology from Torris?"
"Yes, I accept this information as an apology. I already knew about the equipment ban , but I didn't know about the breach in the rule, although I don't believe it can forge something useful to help me with the test. I appreciate the information."
Well, he accepts my excuse and with that I get Professor Liv's manual.
"Do you already have a team for the next Torris test?"
He looks at me with a very complicated look and I see several emotions passing over his face, the last one and insecurity .
"Are you calling me for your team? "
"Yes Torres, you are very strong and you will be well in my team and I can assure you that this is not a bad joke I really want to be first again in the test and for that I need a stronger team last time I was lucky as the rest of the class was taken by surprise I don't believe it can happen again. "
"So you want to join my team."
I see Torres thinking deeply about my proposal.
"I can join your team but I have a condition for that."
"Which?"
"I will only officially join your team if you get a wizard."
Did it surprise me that a wizard is needed to complete the test in the first place?
"Well I think I can get a magician out of my plans anymore when I get a magician to join the team I hope you're in the group."
"I promise you Ulric if you can get a wizard for the team you can count on me."
I say goodbye to Torris and head towards my next class.
Will a magician be essential to complete the test or will he just make it easier to pass the test.
I am not friends with any magician as close to Ingredi as it would be a great choice to join my team, but I believe she would not be separated from her sister and they already had a large group in the last test if it was just the two of them the team would already go up to six people and this is already a big size, more people than that will start to decrease the chances of success in the test.
The fire wizard in the advanced class does not seem reliable and would probably generate conflict in the group.
If the twins don't want to form a team I'm going to have to turn to Erick to find a dissenting magician for the group.
I waited an hour before Professor Frey arrived in the room to start teaching. I used that time to think about the formation of the group. I already have the Holt brothers who can act as long-range attackers and to open our opponents Torris and the group's frontal defense. if you get a wizard you're better off being defensive or supportive than an offensive one since counting on me the team would already have three attackers and at most I would have to add one more if I was a person with a defensive position if the wizard is offensive but if he is defensive the last member needs to have an attack power on the same level as mine.
I thought of Raziel as a possible last member since he is a warrior with a shadow element and he would be great to attack the blind or vital point of an enemy.
But before I get the sixth member of the team, I need to confirm a wizard first.
But the professor enters the room interrupting my thoughts .
"Good morning students for those who do not participate in my rune class I apologize because before class starts I will be passing a sheet with the results of yesterday's test to those who passed my congratulations and they should go normally in the next class, but for those who fail I unfortunately have to ask them not to show up in the rune class anymore. "
Professor Frey passes a page to the student closest to him and she starts running across the room to several people receiving the news of his failure I can see that the test pass rate was not high by the countless faces of sadness and anger I even saw a girl who started crying when she read her test result.
"In today's class I will not take a test as in the runes class, but do not think that there will not be a test in the matter of magic matters it will be carried out in four lessons so you should spend this time to study and decorate the names of the materials more and what processes they are used for. "
"In this test I will focus more on organic materials because among them the more materials that can poison you during the collection or attract magic animals to you when they are collected many magical animals are attracted by fragrances that come out of the plants when they are harvested this can cause your death if you are not prepared. "
"Today we will see materials that are used to design runes."
Professor Frey gave a long lecture on paints used in the manufacture of runes basically for a rune to have a better effect when it is made using paint and to associate its effect with the properties of the paint and the painted surface and very logical as an example.
a rune cut and written with ink with properties of wind, hardness, resistance and preservation and to paint it on a blade to increase its power must be careful that the property of the ink is not opposed to the material as if the weapon is made with material of the element earth you must use a paint that does not have the wind element only has the other three properties that match the function of the rune.
It was a very informative class and to improve it I received the confirmation that I had passed the rune test I found out when the sheet with the results arrived in min and I took advantage and saw if Sten and Ingredi had passed too and to my surprise both had passed the test.
With the end of the class I went to talk to the teacher, but he didn't have much time I think he has to teach a class as soon as ours ends so he just integrated me a list of books so I can start studying they should help me in the manufacture of the explosive mine .
I saw several titles on matters than on runes.
