As the classroom was starting to fill up with students, Lucian and his friends recovered from their shock.
A group of girls came up to them once they recovered from their shock.
"Hi," a blond-haired girl greeted.
"What's up?" Aphos responded.
"Would you mind if you came to the Cruz festival with me?" The blond-haired girl asked Aphos"
"The Curz festival?"Lucian asked.
"You don't know?" Gabriel asked with an intrigued face
"No, is it something important?"
"Not really, but it's just…"
"Okay everyone, you may sit down" Leonardo said with a soft yet powerful voice that was heard by everyone in the class.
Adbeel's attention was quickly turned to his new teacher.
"Mana speech" he muttered
Lucian felt a wave of recognition once he heard what Adbeel said.
How could he not recognize it? It was his favorite spell!
But he had never seen anyone use it so… professionally.
"Okay then. As you all may have noticed, my name is Leonardo Reverie" Mr. Reverie said as he pointed up to his still floating name.
"Well, I can see that everyone is here, so let's start the class."
"Now, a question to all of you. What is mana?" Mr. Reverie asked the still-shocked class.
One student managed to raise their hand. That student turned out to be the girl with glasses from history class.
"Yes, the girl with glasses"
Clara felt a bit embarrassed by what she was called but answered "It's the source of all our magical powers. Without mana, we can't make magic."
"That's true, but that wasn't the answer I was looking for" Mr. Reverie explained.
Clara was of course confused. She had studied for 4 years to prepare for Nova Academy. But all those 4 years seem to be worthless.
'No, it must just be because I'm having an unlucky day.' Clara tried to reassure herself before asking
"Then what is it?"
Mr Reverie gave a small smile before answering.
"It's poop," Mr Reverie said with a smile that seemed more like a smirk.
"What?!" Clar exclaimed.
Many other students were also surprised and confused.
All of the students were either confused, frustrated, or surprised.
All except for one, Aiden Sylvanus.
He was only barely paying any attention. However, he was surprised by how a mere mortal like Leonardo was able to find that fact out.
'Does he have a sponsor? No, it's too early for Sponsorships to be made. This planet still has gone through the 3rd catastrophe.
Then, did he perhaps find it out himself?' Adrian thought.
"I see that you all are confused and interested," Mr Reverie said while glancing at Adrian.
"Just let me explain.
As you may not know, there are nine realms. All of which, are a realm entirely made up of one element.
Except for our and the deity's realms." Mr Reverie explained.
"Deitys?" Lucian asked
"Yes, deities. The closest things we have to gods. But we can't call them gods."
"Why not?" A student asked
Mr Reverie only smiled.
"What do you think Mr Sylvanus?" Mr reverie asked.
To which Adrian only yawned.
"Ah, I see. This class is too boring for you. But try not to sleep" Mr Reverie said with a knowing smile.
"Anyways, I'm bringing these realms up because they produce mana." Mr Reverie explained.
"But how come they can produce mana?" A student asked.
"I'm not entirely sure, but the realms are using something as fuel. So mana is just the realms 'poop'" Mr reverie answered
The classroom was brought into a state of confusion once they ingested the information.
Lucian, would usually not be the exception. But he understood and digested it very well.
Normally, he would get a headache like the rest of the students from this new mind-boggling information.
But he concluded that this may have been the stones doing.
Lucian is not dumb. He knows that his emotions have been tampered with. And he's not happy.
But currently, he doesn't have the power to do anything. The only person who can answer bai questions happens to be right in front of him.
'Maybe the green-haired one also knows something about the stone' Lucian thought.
"Okay okay okay, I can see that you all are confused. But we need to move on. Just think of the old Northern mythology.
It turns out that it's pretty accurate."
Wait, does that mean that theirs a tree big tree connecting those realms?" Lucian asked.
To that, Mr Reverie only shrugged.
"Who knows"
Lucian was not satisfied with his answer. He craved more knowledge. But he had to put his emotions aside as Mr. Reverie was only 'human' if he could be called that.
"Well, we don't want to make this into a history lesson, although the mana's history is a part of this class. But anyway,
Do you all know the spell 'lock'? Mr Reverie asked.
Most students raised their hands to show that they knew about it.
"Good, then you should know about its effects. It locks doors and cars or anything that can be locked. Right?"
"Yes," The class said.
Mr Reverie raised his hands and pulled all of his fingers in except for his thumb and pointed it down.
"Wrong," he said.
"So you think that's what lock can only do? COME ON! BE A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE!
ARE YOU GOING TO LIMIT LOCK TO JUST THAT?!!!" Mr Reverie exclaimed.
"Don't be such an idiot. Lock can do far more things than you can Imagine."
"L..Like what?" A student asked nervously.
Mr. Reverie smiled and signaled for him to come over to the podium.
The nervous student looked around before asking "Me?"
"No, the flying pig outside in the garden. Of course, it's you!" Mr Reverie said.
"O..Okay" the student complied and went over to the podium.
"Good. Now, 'Lock'" Mr. Reverie said as he stretched out his hand and casted the spell Lock.
"What are you…" the student, before he could complete his sentence started to feel the effects of the spell.
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
