Chereads / Vengeance of the Fallen Magus / Chapter 3 - Rune Magic

Chapter 3 - Rune Magic

"Rune Magic?" Chris asked his Lecturer named Professor Kijorn.

The wise man cleared his throat. Thus, he replied to Chris with a stern tone as he explained,

"Rune Magic.

The rarest magical prowess that everyone yearns for.

I heard that the one who could master Rune Magic could be able to master every magical element as much as they want.

But, at the same time. It was the most complex magical prowess as well. Not even a resource or an experience in the battle could be able to master that quickly."

As he explained so, he stood from his magical chair and sauntered towards Chris's back.

"Look at me, Mr. Jansen." The wise man moved backward by ten steps to the back.

He moved his right foot to the back with his thumb kissed the ground with his loafer covered his foot to avoid the injury as he enchanted,

"Kig."

Then, he clenched both of his fists and bumped it with a total power force that caused the speck of fire to spark in between his fist. He enchanted,

"Fira."

He continued with both of the fists slammed to the ground. Thus, he enchanted,

[Fire Magic: Fire Ring]

The blazing red fire had encircled Chris. Soon, the fire was rose to the height of him, eating the oxygen in the most rapid yet crazed time possible, which strong enough to choke an average human in seconds.

"You are a Dragon. So that's why I can present this example to you, Mr. Jansen. But worry not, it won't hurt you as I never train my Rune Magic before." He stated so while extinguishing the fire by clapping his hands twice as soon as he stood from his last position.

"Meaning?" Chris asked the Professor with a curious tone while patting his left shoulder, burning while expressing an awkward expression that caused the old man to chuckle.

"Apologizes for overdoing it, Mr. Jansen. Yes, my Rune Magic is meant for presentation purposes. Not for the training of my original affinity magic, which is known as Fire Magic.

However, you had to know that it's only one out of one billion Magus who will have this ability rooted in his vein. Yet, you are the first person who I know to had the affinity in it."

That statement which blurted from the Professor's pale lips had led Chris to whisper in his mind as he said,

'I can't use any magic in any battles thanks to my magical defect. Even if that, I can use it by brute force. It requires a strong medication made by Kars to control my nerve system before activating my magic. Still, it was a bad experience to date... But...'

"Mr. Jansen?" The old man called upon him as he lost onto his thought. Thus, Chris answered him, "Yes?". And Professor Kijorn asked him as he frowned his silver eyebrows.

"Do you need to rest for a while before I'm teaching you about the basics of Rune Magic?"

"Not needed..."

Klang!!!

Klang!!!

Klang!!!

The loud and crisp bell voice had been heard by both of them. Thus, Professor Kijorn wrapped up his session with Chris by saying,

"Your class has started, Mr. Jansen. Do your class first before meeting on me for once again later."

"But..." He reacted with a sad expression. Only him the one who knew that he had to spend more time with that Lecturer. But since it was obligatory. The man requested,

"It's fine. I will be waiting for you later after your class."

"If that's your request... Allow Chris to leave, Professor Kijorn."

The old man nodded. Thus, he snapped his fingers on his right hand. And in the same time after the "Clap!" voice being heard, Chrish vanished without any trace... magically.

Chris shifted to the massive-sized hall with many students grouped by the tables were discussing each other.

"Chris?" An eye-glassed elf lady wearing the green dress radiating her yellow-skin beauty and perfectly blended with her silver hair.

Chris looked at her, and he answered her as he looked at her face with brown eyes, silver eyebrows, pointed nose with a pair of thin lips balmed with the pink color,

"I'm fine. Do you know what our class is today?"

"Brewing potions by the new Lecturer?" She replied to him gently. Thus, he looked at the massive whiteboard, and then, he murmured to himself.

"Professor Lion? That one of the Ancient Magus who plotted the plan to kill me! If I was faster enough to move... I won't become like this. This time... I had to stop him before he stops me!"

Thus, he looked at that lady and then. He questioned her with a friendly tone,

"Do we need to prepare the references? Or something else like a book, medication equipment, and so on?"

She shook her head. Then, she replied to him as she smiles warmly,

"I think the new Lecturer won't ask us for anything. So, we shouldn't have anything first before the Lecturer asked, so just in case nothing wrong being taken."

"I see..." He replied to her to end the conversation. Thus, he looked at the whiteboard that reflected his face blurrily as he whispered to himself,

'That Lady... Elea Linberg... She was my wife in my past life... The one who fought for the weal and the woe together with me... And the one with who I had a child. But they were both killed tragically at that bitch's hand! Unforgivable! Definitely unforgivable!'

A horrible memory about him hugging a fallen woman with a girl had flashed on his mind. He screamed in agony in that flash of memory that led him to shriek in an agonizing tone as he grabbed his head.

"You alright, Chris?" The lady patted his back as he shrieked into agony as he yelled, "No!!!" "No!!" "No!!!"

But, at the same time. The mysterious hooded woman offered the lady the medicine by handing out the round-shaped balm. He instructed her,

"Apply that balm to Mr. Jansen's horn. His nerve defect had acting up again!"

"Mrs. Hora? Isn't Professor Lion the one who shall teach us? Why has it ended up being you?"

"I will replace this class for the first half of the day. Now, apply it quickly. Nerve Defect could injure someone's mental badly." The hooded woman requested on her as soon as she left the place abruptly and walked towards the Lecturer desk, located on the left side of the massive whiteboard.

She opened the cap of the balm by moving the balm's top counterclockwise.

Klug!

The voice of the air collided with the content as the balm had opened. Thus, the lady picked some of the blue liquids from that balm as she stabbed it by using her left middle and index finger.

After that, she pulled the liquid gently... And she put the balm liquid to Chris's dragon horn gently as soon as she pulled the juice from the balm...

Chris was starting to breathe normally as soon as the lady applied the balm to his horn.

It was not taking that long time for him to recover his previous stance again. Thus, he looked at that lady and thanked her as he said,

"Thank you, Elea. This nerve defect had been hitting me a lot recently."

"Mr. Jansen, meet me later after the class with Professor Kijorn. We need to talk about your illness."

"Understand, Professor," Chris replied to her as he nodded gently for a sign of gratitude. While the hooded lady smiled happily that her medicine works for him.

Thus, the lesson started with the Lecturer clicked her right finger.

Tick!

A massive magical slide had been shown on the whiteboard that surprised all of the students there.

Thus, the lady pushed her throat gently, using her left hand with the middle finger as the focal point to move it.

[Sound Magic: Loudspeaker]

The lady enchanted her magic. Thus, everyone could hear the "Bling!" voice as a sign that the spell had been activated.

"Can everyone hear me clearly?" The lady spoke through the voice that could be heard from their mind. Thus, Elea started first,

"We can hear you, Professor!"

"Yes, we can hear you, Professor!' The rest followed her voice in order asynchronously.

The Professor had cleared her throat. Thus, she started teaching.

"Today is the first day of your class for taking the medication class—one of the most essential parts of being a magus. Thus, you will learn this in your first semester right now. And don't forget to raise your hand once you had a question. First of all, Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Leinstern Hora. The new Lecturer who will become Professor Lion's replacement today as he had an appointment now."

She clicked her finger, and then, they started the topic as she explained,

"One of the most essential things about Magus is to have a medical kit on your hands. Like a soldier, we must have at least a pair or two medical kits to sustain our survivability. Why? Can anyone answer it?"

Chris raised his right hand, which led Mrs. Hora to point her left thumb to him as she said,

"Granted, answer with your own opinion."

Thus, Chris stood, and he explained while looking back,

"Fellow classmates, we are required to have our own medical kit is because that we had our own health conditions that differ from each other..."

"Oh? Differ? Mind to explain that, Mr. Jansen? It's pretty interesting." Mrs. Hora remarked on him, which led him to turn back and look at her, and he answered her with a confident tone,

"With an Honor, Jansen will explain what I had told before, Professor Hora."
