'It's my third day...' I sat quietly while watching the commotion taking place in the class, even in another world the events that take place in absence of a teacher are no different. 'Still no one, huh.'
I waited in anticipation that, at least one will take to me in sake of being the duke's son however I was wrong, 'I am damn sure, even if I approached them they will out right reject me!'
As if to relieve me from this sorrow, the angel-looking teacher Erina entered the class and all of us untiedly stood as one to greet her, "Morning, All of you! Take your seats."
The black formal frock-like cloth she wore went in contrast with her bright pale skin and more than that red check was clearly visible even to me, that had placed himself in the far back, 'She is beautiful...'
"Since we have already wasted two days, I will dive into the first chapter today without further delay: Mana, the life!"
The class dimmed and what similar to the anatomy of the human structure was reforming itself in the center above of the chamber, "Our organs, not only keep us alive. Each and every part of our body has the capability to absorb mana from the environment and store it in them. However, we aren't capable to do so."
I listened to her earnestly and was surprised to see that more earnest students had already began to take notes for show-off, "I imagine them as flowers! Bright, colorful, sometimes withered and poisonous...We, humans, store the mana near our heart in the shape of rings, I assume it'd time for you to try it out."
The explanation ended with abruptness and we were suddenly pushed into the practical thing, 'Darn, I did this all night yesterday...can't believe now I am repeating it in the class.'
The feeling of something tingling penetrating your skin was no different, as I forcefully yet with gentleness absorbed the mana from my boundary and attempted to bind them in my magic circle but before I could do so a voice fell.
"Don't merge them, let them run wild then bring them out of your body...release them in space!"
Her words seemed foolish to me, why bother setting the mana free that you had absorbed painstakingly, even so it wasn't a choice. I had to follow her instructions and I did so.
"Good. So, how do you feel?"
At her question, only bafflement was left within me, 'Not only my mind feels refreshed, but even my eyesight also seems to have received a buffer.'
"I just showed you all that, what could happen if you fully utilize the mana while practicing magic manipulation, not only you will get tired late by following this method you can even improve your efficiency each time you absorb mana."
There was a reason why she was named the best professor for the freshmen, and I doubt that there will be someone out to replace her in the future.
"Now, I will move on to the next..."
The time went by, although I don't know how it just passed in haste and it was already time for lunch as teacher Erina finished her first lesson for us, 'Today's class was great!'
I headed off straight to the cafeteria with my stomach making weird sounds for the meals, "Hello~! I am Bryna Malaki."
A girl sat right across a glutton and extended her hand without any fear of losing her fingers to him I suspected her being fearless but at the same time, I don't know for what joy I am feeling happy right now.
"Hello, I am Ares Soulteraut."
"Yep. I know that, is there anyone on this campus without knowing who you are?"
"Well, I guess not...So, what do you want?"
"You are quick to catch on, unlike the rumors."
"As you had stated, it 's all rumors and they are different from the truth."
"Haaha! How funny however I will come to the main topic, you, pair up with me to the expedition tommorrow."
"What? Expedition class?"
"I am surprised that you are unaware of it. An event has been organized where they will take us to Black Mountain ranges tomorrow. It's to explore our horizons! or so they said. What do you say, shall we tag along?"
"I don't why you are inviting me, perhaps are you interested in-"
"Don't get too ahead of yourself, Mr. Fatty. I have to get a job done there and am in need of a guy who has a big mana pool. I can't reveal any more details, so shall the deal strikes or not?"
I pushed down a piece of meat into y throat so did she, then I took a closer look at the girl that still prevailed before me, 'She is not a named character...' I racked my brain while eating for few more seconds but no matter I couldn't remember a character named Bryna.
'Malaki, I do know that. A hidden card that 'He' used to sacrifice at the first line of defence.'
"Well, let's say I do stike up this deal with you, then what benefits do I reap?"
"I will get you an item, a suitable one for you."
"All right." I extend my hand towards her then said, "Happy co-operatin."
"Aren't you curious to know more about the reward you will get?"
"No, let it be. I will see what, I, Ares soulteraut doesn't have that you are going to offer to me."
I saw her eyes roll, however both of us know that there isn't many things which I couldn't get my hands on, especially the weapons and stuff.
"I will see you at 8 pm in the the camp No.10. Make sure to rest well tonight it will be not possible to do tommorrow."
"Yes."
I finished up the rest of my meal and directly found myself before th emagic practing hall, 'Let's train with 2 new spells before going to sleep. I wonder if it will be dangerous tommorrow.'
