Chapter 47 - Ice Magic

"From today onwards, we all have to do club work and make the activities many times harder to earn Class 1 points." Bellany loudly announced in front of the first-year classroom as she stands in front of all the other students.

"We will try our best." the group of female students shouted back.

"As for us, the men's group, we must never be inferior to the women. Even though we join forces to push for Class 1 to get number 1 overall, if our group loses to the women, it's considered a disgrace to the men. We can't accept it!" Jerrick shouted, rousing the male students as well.

Mariel watched as the two sides urged people to help collect points to win the Prize of the Best Class of the Month Award and she still wondered if it was really that important to do.

"Beatrix, is the Best Class Award really that important?" Mariel asked.

"You don't know at all. This best class award, it comes from the whole class working together to collect points which come from doing various activities, whether it's a club Various quests and receive rewards from the professors or caretakers in this school, but when a month has passed, which room has the most accumulated points. They will have access to a special lounge where you can order food that really luxury and delicious. It also costs half the price of regular food too." Beatrix explained.

 "I received news that the other nine rooms also motivated their people to earn points in each room." Mania said.

"But that's all?" Mariel was still confused as to whether it had to be that serious.

"You don't know anything, Mariel." Bellany walked in, her voice sounding annoyed.

"Sorry." Mariel exclaimed in sudden shock. Bellany quickly appeared in front of her.

"Every day, in addition to the luxurious food that can be ordered at half price, there are also various desserts created by Chef Micheline. The number 1 female dessert chef in this city as well." Bellany said in a serious tone.

"Micheline! She's the owner of the famous Dessert Queen title." Mania said with extreme excitement.

"Do you know her too, Mania?" Mariel asked curiously.

"You know, she is Chef Belgaric's last disciple. The legendary male dessert chef who has passed away. Her dessert-making skills are divine. Everyone who has tasted it, they have praised it as delicious every time. She once came to visit my elf village and made desserts for us to eat together. I still remember that it was the happiest meal of my life when I ate sweets." Mania said while reminiscing.

 "That's right, my family hired her to be the special dessert chef at this school. In order to provide the best experience for outstanding students and most importantly, every 3rd day of that week. There will be a special menu besides the normal dessert menu, namely the legendary Rainbow Cake." Jerrick said.

"Rainbow Cake! That's very expensive. one piece price 100+ gold coins. Will I really be able to eat it? I can't let this opportunity go." Bellany cried out in extreme joy.

"Rainbow cake?" Mariel said and continued to wonder.

"It is a cake with unique ingredients and many special elements. My angel Mariel who belongs to me forever." Jerrick said, bowing slightly to her.

(Who really belongs to you? Don't think about it yourself.) (Chai thinking)

"Many ingredients like that. It takes a lot of effort to get it. The third-year male senior students will be assigned this mission to find various materials. Sometimes there is only a small amount, but the chef tries her best so that everyone can eat. The taste of Rainbow Cake... once you try it, you'll be so addicted that you won't forget its taste." Gerrick explains the difficulties in making this Rainbow cake.

"So how many pieces will we be able to eat? Jerrick." Bellany asked curiously.

"From what I've asked, there should be 25 pieces, 2 people per piece." Jerrick replied.

"It's still good. I can't wait. This first month we must do our best." Bellany said with a hopeful expression.

 "Beatrix and Mania ate together. I don't really eat sweets." Mariel said.

"I don't usually eat sweets, but if it is this cake, I won't refuse it." Beatrix replied calmly.

"So, you don't eat it? Just find another partner and share half each." Mania said.

"Don't worry, I'll eat together with Mariel." Jerrick immediately offered this idea to Mariel.

"I don't want to bother you but." Mariel tried to deny.

"Mariel is so mean." Jerrick pretended to be sad and seemed to burst into tears.

"You don't have to cry! Ok, Ok! I'll eat together with you." Mariel replied.

(Things are going as planned!) Jerrick looked a little happy after leaving Mariel's group.

Then it was time to study advanced magic with Professor Kiros. A person who is known as resolute, courageous, and very strict because he has always been Master Hector's foremost ally in the war against demons and supreme mages. Before retiring, he became a high-class ice magic professor at this school along with Headmaster Hector.

All the students in the 10 classrooms were sitting in their seats, but the classroom suddenly became completely dark. Everyone seemed to be pushed up from their chairs by some force. Immediately, the table and chairs disappeared. Then everyone was like standing alone in a completely dark room.

 "Where is everyone? Where have you all gone?" Mariel said while turned left and right, looking for other friends, but she saw no one except herself, who was standing alone.

 

 Suddenly, an ice crystal appeared in front of Mariel. The cold vapor spread throughout the area until she felt a chill all over her body.

"Hold out your hand. Learn the power of ice magic. Let's do it!" A voice called out. Mariel looked up and saw behind the ice crystal. Professor Kiros stood tall in front of her. He also stared with fierce eyes as if he could always see through the other person's insides.

"Understood." Mariel slowly closed her eyes and did the meditation. She boosted her Qi energy in the body, then she slowly stretched out both her hands. A cold vapor like arctic ice slowly covered Mariel's body.

"Ouch!" The pain until her whole body was numb began to make Mariel tremble. She didn't expect that this ice magic would require this much energy to train.

"Just like Father Deric had warned me before. Ice magic was already the most basic level of Magic. The learner must have a strong body and Qi energy enough to be able to pass this test." Mariel thought of Deric's warning.

"But there's nothing I can do about this." Mariel said with her smile. She also began to use her Qi energy to adjust the body to become one with this ice Magic.

 It only takes a short time. A faint white Qi line with a hint of blue appeared in Mariel's body. Then it gradually merged into one with the main Qi veins.

Professor Kiros stood and watched from a distance, still admiring Mariel's abilities.

"This female student has learned high-level ice magic in a short period of time. It is considered very difficult to find. From where the other shadow figures of mine were chatting with the remaining students, No one has ever succeeded this quickly. Some people are starting to get close to completing this training, but many people still cannot endure the cold. So, they haven't even passed this training yet. But with this girl...she's so..." Professor Kiros thought to himself.

Mariel's eyes turned white with a light blue hue mixed in. Her two hands slowly gathered the ice magic power into a ball of power magic. Then, it shot out until it hit the dark wall and shattered into a powerful ice crystal.

"Well done! Mariel De Stella, you learn so quickly, I admire you, but it's still not good enough. Keep learning more about Ice Magic from reading the book. In this meantime, I would like to see the progress of the other students first. So just practice here before the class finished." Professor Kiros said as he sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. This indicates that Mariel has passed this test. As for Kiros, he had to use his own illusion to check the other students.

Beatrix did not take much time from that. She can pass the exam as well. Her ice magic works well in combination with her personal magic wand.

"You're a quick learner too. Well done! Beatrix." Professor Kiros praised.

 

The sound of the ice magic caused the dark wall to shake quite a bit.

"As expected of Conrad's son. You're truly amazing, Jerrick." Professor Kiros praises Jerrick for completing the ice magic skill at the same time as Beatrix.

As for the other students, they continued their training. Bellany completed this training following closely behind others. The others began to pass the test one by one.

Meanwhile, Professor Kiros was looking at the other students. Mariel became more proficient in using ice magic, she began to have an idea that she wanted to do something besides what she had studied in the textbooks in advance.

"Dragon Slayer Sword!" Mariel said, holding up the sword immediately after appearing in front of her.

"Ice Sword Magic!" Mariel rushed her ice magic power towards the Dragon Slayer Sword but...

"What are you doing???" Magmatrion screamed as it increased his power until the sword wiggled out of Mariel's hand and hit her squarely in the head with the side of the sword.

"Ouch!!!! it hurts!" Mariel shouted, clutching her head in pain.

"If you're going to use ice magic, tell me first! I am the Fire Dragon God and contrast to this ice magic. Stupid kid!" Magmatrion shouted.

"How can I know? I see that you are a Fire Dragon God and should be able to resistance other magic easily." Mariel responded without fear.

 "Other magics? Yes, it is! But not with ice magic!" Magmatrion continued to complain.

"What if I tell you about this before? How do you handle the ice magic sword casting?" Mariel asked curiously.

"I will show you!" Magmatrion said as use a magic spell and it made a smoke enveloped the area.

"What!!!" Mariel shouted and acted dazed at the sight in front of her.

Magmatrion wore a thick sweater and a large scarf. In addition, he also wore a winter hat with holes for the dragon horns to pass through, as well as dark glasses and a mask to protect from the cold...

"What kind of joke are you doing?" Mariel asked curiously.

"I hate the cold. This is warm enough for me." Magmatrion said with a neutral expression.

"Are you crazy? What's a god dragon wears sweater to fight?" Mariel argued back.

"That's me, kid. Anyway, you must tell me about this first. Do you understand?" Magmatrion gave an ultimatum to Mariel.

"I really can't accept that I have a fire god dragon who is crackpot!" Mariel complained.

"I also can't accept that the owner of the 2nd generation Dragon Slayer Sword who is the shrew too!" Magmatrion immediately shouted back.

"Do you really want to have trouble with me?" Mariel said and started to get angry.

"If you'd like to try it out, little kid!" Magmatrion challenged.

 

Suddenly, Professor Kiros opened his eyes and stared at them with seriousness.

"Dragon Slayer Sword? How did it appear here?" Professor Kiros shouted.

"I'm the owner of this sword." Mariel replied, immediately holding the sword in her hand. As for Magmatrion, it disappeared into the sword.

"What? You are the owner of this sword. I don't believe it!" Professor Kiros said with an expression that he couldn't believe what was happening here.

"Do you think I'm bragging or what? Here it is." Mariel said and turned on the power of her magic fire sword in front of Professor Kiros.

"Yes...that's right...that's you...you are the reincarnated Victor, right?" Professor Kiros asked with a serious expression.

"What???" Mariel exclaimed in shock.

"Don't fool me! Hundreds of years ago when you were my apprentice. You humiliate me and I will pay you back!" Professor Kiros shouted and immediately summoned his personal magic staff.

Many streams of magical energy swirled around Professor Kiros until it felt an extremely powerful force, then he cast an ice magic spell on Mariel.

"Ouch!" Mariel resisted with all her might, but her body was also thrown away. The Qi energy within her body was continuously agitated. The expression on her face showed fear because the other side was serious.

"Today, I will finish you, Victor! You died and was reincarnated to ridicule me again." Professor Kiros said loudly.

"I want to say that I'm not Victor!" Mariel argued back.

"I don't believe it! Prepare yourself." Professor Kiros replied as he activated his ultimate magic power into his personal magic staff.

"Somebody helps me!" Mariel cries out in pain at the critical situation in front of her.

(What should I do? I'm in trouble now. How can I fight against Professor Kiros? He's too strong. Somebody saves me!!!) (Chai thinking)
