"I did it! I can use Wind Blade properly!" [Mara]
"This is hard, I still can't use a healing spell properly" [Kara]
"Me too... I can't even shoot a water ball properly" [Neloufa]
"I need more mana... I can't keep my buff for more than 30 seconds" [Adnan]
"I can't connect to my healer slime at all..." [Tio]
"Earth Magic... I'm running out of mana" [Marianne]
"Meow!" [Fie]
"Right, I know. Buff!" [Diana]
It's another weekend, just before the so-called big exam. I mean, it's what they call the exam before the final exam, I don't know what's so special about it, but considering how serious everyone is, I can't help but feel the same way. For the sake of my big delicious cake... For the sake of education, I will strive for perfection! One of them, without a single doubt, is by helping each other.
According to Nar and Sas, the majority of people will have trouble getting their magic right, but there's a minority of so-called geniuses who can actually use their magic right from childhood without putting in much effort. According to them, they were among them, along with a few others like Aunt Amleth, Ms. Saga, and the Guild Master herself. They said that I was the same, even a better genius compared to them, as they were still struggling in the early stages, but I disagree, I am able to use magic without any difficulty is all thanks to the fairy spring within me, and without it I will find myself struggling as well.
After catching their breath, they wasted no time in resuming their training. Although I can instinctively tell where their mistake is, the six of them agreed beforehand not to let me correct them. They said they wanted to try to find their mistake themselves. I don't know why, but apparently they came to this conclusion after getting a tip or two from Nar and Sas. If anything, I think it would be better to tell them right away, but I will respect their decision, which is why I only gave them some buffs. The buff I currently gave them is a quick mana regeneration buff.
Mara and Marianne continue to use earth-related spells. Kara and Neloufa tried to use every healing spell they learned during the year. Afnan tried some physical training while using a physical buff spell. Tio, however, took it to another level. She tried to use connection magic and give direct command to the healer slime, as well as strengthen her flora and fauna spell, a rarity among humans. According to Nar and Sas, this nature affinity are usually found among elves and beastman who were closely related to the forest such as monkey beastman.
Since I have nothing better to do, I just used this time to finish my remaining homework... Why am I not blessed in this area? I mean, I know it's because I usually play instead of studying and do my homework in the last minutes, but I'm sure just concentrating in class is enough! Sure, I didn't fully concentrate on SOME of the lessons, but where I did, I never made a mistake during the test! The result of the last exam proves it, as I can still score better than other total slackers in theory, and absolutely ace in everything magical and physical related.
"Times for some tea breaks" [Head Maid]
"Thank you... Why are you here, dear brother?" [Marianne]
This brother of Marianne's, if I'm not mistaken, is the one that Mr. Savel, the dragonkin beastman from the adventure guild, mentioned the other day. One of the nobles who likes to buy rare animals and monsters. He's older than Liya, but younger than Jean. He's in what they call his final year at the Academy.
"Nothing, I just came here to look at my younger sister" [Marianne's brother].
"Your eyes are staring at Fie, though" [Diana]
I don't need my instinct to tell me that his eyes are looking at Fie's with interest. I quickly hug Fie with all my strength. Fie, thinking that I am playing with him, starts to lick my cheeks. Normally I would lick him back playfully (and somehow get scolded by Nar afterwards), but I'm not in the mood.
"Well, I guess I am not really welcome here. Then, I'll simply wait inside the carriage. Thank you for having me" (That really is an elemental cat!) [Marianne Brother]
"Goodbye, and never come again" [Diana]
"Uncivilised as they claim" [Marianne Brother]
"Not sorry for that" [Diana]
He simply leaves, telling the Head Maid that she doesn't need to accompany him. The Head Maid simply complies, but signals the Butler and other maids to keep an eye on him until he leaves. I thought I would be scolded for my rude remark just now, but unexpectedly she compliments my way of dealing with Marianne's brother just now, although she does it in the most subtle way so as not to hurt Marianne.
"I'm sorry for his rude behavior just now" [Marianne].
"You don't have to be. But just to be clear, if he really wants Fie, he will have to come over my dead body first" [Diana].
"Duly noted" [Marianne].
Before we continue our practice, we take a thirty minute break to eat our lunch. It's quite a heavy lunch, but not for them, even when they show restraint, I can see they practically swallow the food, sometimes without chewing. I wanted to comment on this, but... Never mind, let them eat their lunch in peace.
