As Aleric received his class schedule, he couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism. The array of subjects ranged from the practical to the arcane, reflecting the diverse interests and backgrounds of the academy's students.
His classes included Swordsmanship, where he hoped to hone his combat skills further, and Ancient Magic, which promised to unlock the secrets of powerful spells and incantations. Alchemy intrigued him with its promise of transforming base materials into precious substances, while Familiar Bonds offered the prospect of forming deep connections with mystical creatures.
Materialization of Aura intrigued him, offering the potential to manifest his inner energies into tangible forms, while Common Magic seemed like a more mundane affair, focused on everyday spells and enchantments. However, it was the class titled "How to Rule Your Lands" that held the least appeal for Aleric, seeming irrelevant to his current goals.
He observed that some classes were tailored to the nobility, catering to their unique needs and responsibilities. Others were specialized based on race, such as the classes for dwarves, which focused on the art of forging quality weapons. For commoners, there were classes covering a variety of practical skills like craftsmanship and agriculture.
Alongside him, Evelina, his devoted assistant, would be by his side, assisting him with his studies and ensuring he was well-cared for amidst the demands of academy life.
As Aleric perused his schedule, he realized the breadth of knowledge and expertise offered at the academy. Each subject held the potential to shape him into a well-rounded individual, capable of navigating the complexities of the magical world. With determination in his heart, he resolved to approach each class with an open mind, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.
