Chapter 30 - Elder Shao Lin’s Magical Prowess!  

Saturating his short lithe figure in the centre of the classroom, Elder Shao Lin proceeded with his demonstration. "Before I commence, let me just elucidate your lacking cognizance." He pushed forth his fat brush-shaped cane for the students to admire.

"This object floating before me is what is commonly known in Vocabular as a Magical Trinket."

"A Magical Trinket?" It was Dam Son's first time registering this unfamiliar terminology. Hence why he wasn't as startled as his peers.

"That thick brush in the geezer's hand is a Magical Trinket? I thought it was just a fancy support stick." Balloona's chubby face was riddled with confusion. This expression was shared among her classmates.

Babe Blade was the only one who acted as if he wasn't startled. "I knew that the elder's cane wasn't so simplistic. It is surprising how you dimwits are fazed by every miniscule thing. Ha-ha-ha." His mocking laughter permeated the room.

"That voice of his is so annoying." Many of Babe Blade's classmates were fed up with his irritating presence.

"A fly should just enter his mouth whenever he laughs again." Many students scowled at Babe Blade.

Elder Shao Lin continued his lesson. "Yes, this brush that you see me holding is a one of a kind magical artefact. I'm sure many of you are already aware of Magical Trinkets' existence. They are empowered items that drastically decrease the activation period of scripts by increasing the trace potentials of Arcane Graphs. One of their main features aside from speeding up the execution rate is to boost the effects of scripts along with their users' physical prowess. Now I will show you how it is done."

Dam Son paid extra attention to what Elder Shao Lin did next. "I mustn't miss any of this demonstration."

To commence his display of Magical Trinket utilisation coupled with Mage Script Execution, Elder Shao Lin spread his legs slightly apart then began twirling his brush around his wrist. He executed smooth adroit movements to position the Magical Trinket at his rear. It was literally suspended behind him.

Shortly after, Elder Shao Lin's Tome came into view. His Guide's bombastic appearance caused great cumbersome pressure to burden the students. From it, he called forth a Basic Word Mage Script which required only 35- MPL (Magic Powered Letters) to utilise.

[Basic Word Mage Script: Wind Trails] Activation Cost – 35(MPL)

"Trace On!" Without physically interacting with the magical artefact poised at his posterior, Elder Shao Lin commanded its built-in properties to take effect. While oscillating, it exuded multiple streaks of arcane light which sequentially shot into the Basic Word Mage Script apace. Automatic tracing was accomplished in a matter of incalculable intervals. Afterwards, the Basic Word Mage Script showed its amplified presence.

As Elder Shao Lin twirled his aged complex in rhythmic posture, a swift enchantment of visible wind trails burst forth which gradually devoured the edifice's airspace. Almost every rooted material inside the classroom entered a twirling frenzy above. Even the bewildered students found themselves lifting from their seats.

"This is unreal! How come a Basic Word Mage Script has this much power? I've used the Wind Trails Script many times before and it was never this impactful!"

"It must be due to the added effects of teacher's Magical Trinket!"

"You're right. But that isn't the only reason." Babe Blade enlightened his un-smart peers. "The swift execution of his tracing method also helped boosted the Mage Script's effects. They operated in perfect tandem to accomplish this glorified magnificence you see before you! The precision it took to pull this stunt off is unearthly! Elder Shao Lin's magical prowess is really out of this world!"

"He is truly a skilled Word Master." Even the imperious Cinder Burn acknowledged Elder Shao Lin's skills. "He took a low-tier Mage Script and transformed it into an advance level spell."

"So this is what a Magical Trinket is capable of doing?" Dam Son admired Elder Shao Lin's capabilities. "He's so old yet so powerful."

A neighbouring student overheard Dam Son's remarks and said to him: "Don't you know that the more age you have underneath your belt the sharper your skills become because of the garnered experiences over time?"

"Is that how it works?" Dam Son thought to himself after listening to his classmate's remark, 'If a person's age determines their strength then does that mean that the swindling drunkard is also very strong?' As Dam Son tried to wrap his head around the unfathomable strength of the swindling drunkard who lives atop the secluded mountain, Elder Shao Lin continued to show off his magical prowess.

"Watch carefully everyone. If you ever ascertained that the effects of your Mage Script are no longer needed or you just simply wish to cancel it mid-way, this is how you properly do so."

Elder Shao Lin reached behind him for his Magical Trinket. He unlocked the cap at the tip which revealed its moist strands. Very quickly, he drew a large crimson graph with the brush and send it out above him.

"Script Cancelation!" The animated crimson graph was comprised of thousands of unreadable characters that separated to encompass the entire room. Moments later, they achieved their desired effects by gradually fading away with the gusty wind trails.

"Huf…" Soon after cancelling his Mage Script, Elder Shao Lin took a deep breath; re-sheathed the cap on his magical brush then set it down before him as if it was a simple support stick once again.

"Wow!" The students were once again amazed by Elder Shao Lin's captivating display of script manipulation.

Even teacher Enjoy who was situated by the corner was impressed. "That old man is still as agile as ever."

Elder Shao Lin graced his beard and spoke calmly. "What you all just witnessed was Script Cancellation in its most basic form. The crimson characters that you saw earlier were derived from a basic Wordsmiths coding language. I could have achieved similar effects by just using the proper Cancellation Script. However, to mitigate the loss of my Powered Letters, I manually drew the 3-Figure Script Deactivation Graph. My Magical Trinket also helped to hasten its execution, though I could have done well without it."

Elder Shao Lin rested the tip of his Magical Trinket on the floor, giving his students time to process what they've seen. After Identifying their bewildered gaze coupled with their unhealthy silence, he parted his lips once again and spoke.

"Ahem… this concludes the demonstrations for today. I hope you've all learnt a valuable lesson. To recap, you've learnt about the fundamental relationship that Wordsmith Mastery has with its similar classifications, is that correct?"

"Yes, teacher!" The students answered in unison.

"Furthermore, you've come to understand the efficient way of Mage Script activation along with Magical Trinkets' attributes, am I right?"

"Yes, teacher!"

"Ahem… You've also become knowledgeable of one of the basic ways of proper Script Cancellation. For further details on Script Deactivation Methods, I will issue a descriptive manual to each of you at the end of the class along with other relatable learning materials. Now then…"

For the remaining period of the class, Elder Shao Lin continued to instruct his students on other essential matters necessary to become an adept, moreover, astute Word Master.
