Chapter 7 - Lazy or Bright

"Let's...yeah... self-study today!" Hito said when he entered the class. It has been two weeks since his first lesson and since then, he did nothing, literary nothing. Everybody in his class was still waiting for some kind of hidden test, so they did learn what they could, but nothing came from it.

"Master, can I ask a question?" one girl in the third row with curly brown hair raised her hand, and Hito only noded.

"Is it possible to combine the Swamp dimension and Light dimension?" her question made the class a bit restless. It was the first time anybody asked Hito any question, not to mention the topic.

"It is possible," he answered simply.

"Is it banned?" another question followed.

"No, technically not. There are only a few banned spells and even those are used by the leaders all the time..." Hito waved his hand.

"Thank you, master," she said and looked back at her book.

"Are you going to try it?" he asked her in a monotone voice.

"What? No... of course not..." she stumbled, baffled by his question.

"Oh, too bad then..."

"You want me to?" she wondered.

"Not really, but it would be definitely interesting to see,"

"If I did that would you get rid of my fail?" she asked eagerly.

"Oh! I completely forgot about that... yeah of course! I really should give you all a chance..."

"Would you be so kind and let us use magic outside of the school already?" asked an older man double Hito's stature, sitting at the top row furthers from the teacher. He asked the question before Hito allowed him to speak, but that was not important to the teacher.

"I will, but you have to all give me a report on how bad it was,"

"How bad it was? Well, that will be easy," the man didn't hide his anger.

"Yes, so for all of you that have failed and are not the curly girl I'll think of something... just..." the ring rang in the best time and Hito quickly left.

"Are you sure, that is a good idea? Using the swamp dimension like that?" one of the students asked the girl, while few people looked at her in disgust. But most talked about the teacher offer, seemingly not interested...

"Maybe he will simply give us the same task you two had," said a tall girl with long black hair. She obviously talked about Ell and his blond friend.

"Maybe, but I kind of doubt that, he did a lot of different kinds of tests..." answered Ell.

"Why are you silent Roger?"

"I feel like our task was not only to make a spell but also make it quickly out of nothing, it was so bloody sudden and important, that I think, I could not do it otherwise and I still barely know how I actually managed it," explained the blond boy.

"Nope, he is right! I'll give you the same task," said Hito who suddenly silently entered the room and made a few of them jump in surprise, which put a smile on his face.

"It is very simple, this weekend the whole class will come to the nearby woods for an afternoon lesson in which you will all try to show me you can combine two dimensions and make a spell. Everybody has to think of a different spell and I can dismiss any similar spells as I choose..." he said to the class, which silently watched him leave.

While they start preparing for another lesson one of the girls, with long blond shining hair, comes before the class.

"Everybody! We were waiting for something like this! I think we should all meet up after school and help each other! Roger and Ell could show it to us then! What do you say?" she asked.

"That is a great idea Anna!" said Engan and others show a similar attitude.

"Great! I am not that smart so thank you for helping me and I hope everybody clears their record as soon as possible! " Anna smiled.

"Come on you are not stupid!" Roger said and few others agreed with him.

"Yeah! You are not failing anything but this class!" Engan joined, making Anala frown her eyebrows and another girl look away in embarrassment.
