Then students one by one took a marble from the box and Mr. Zenos said, "The color determines the element possessed by the heart. So, I would advise you people to take the heart with the element you are most familiar with".
James remembered something and raised his hand. Mr. Zenos allowed him to ask him the question and he said, "Mr. Zenos can I use this heart?". He said while showing the heart to Mr. Zenos. He was a bit amazed at the heart and said, "This is an above average heart of the fire element. Be my guest if you want to use it but it will be more difficult than the average ones".
James thought, "More difficult means more better results". James then placed the weapon and the core in front of him and then he imagined the weapon and after a moment he casted "craft". The blue magic circle appeared under the table and the items started merging. James was shaking a little. He thought, "The mana is no problem for me. But it requires hell of a lot concentration. No, focus on the image, the product you want to create"
After a moment, a magic circle disappeared and the items were merged. There was now only a sword with the heart merged on the handle. Some people were a bit disappointed. It was just looking like a normal sword with a jewel attached on it.
Mr. Zenos smiled a little and then James picked up the sword and infused mana in the
sword. Then the sword was surrounded by a Firey aura that was literally flames. Some people started clapping and Mr. Zenos started laughing. He said, "Good job my boy". Then James noticed a boy behind him who had created the same sword like him but it had a water aura. The crafter was a small boy with glasses who was sweating due to loss of mana but was not shaking unlike James
James thought, "What a kid! If he had the same ingredients as me, then his product would have turned out better than me" James waved at him while smiling. The boy when noticing this got embarrassed and the sword slipped out of his hand and fell on his head.
Then he suddenly put himself together and waved back at him shyly. Then after a while, the crafting classes came to an end and Ryan was finally able to enhance his spear after 5 tries. Then through overhearing someone James founds that the spellbooks are kept in the library. Then he entered the library and on the excuse of exploring the library he founds the other houses spellbooks and without anyone noticing he quickly absorbs them.
He then decided to sleep as at night he will go out in the training grounds to practice the
other houses magic. Fortunately, he didn't notice any form of security or restrictions.
After resting for a moment, he was woken up by James as it was time for dinner. After
having dinner, they all headed back to their dorms and when James was about to 'sleep' he thought, "It feels like I am forgetting something important". Then suddenly a thought entered his mind, he started sweating. He woke up Ryan who was coincidently his roommate.
"W-What's the matter?", said Ryan and James replied, "Ryan snap out of sleep! Ryan, do you know how can we call people?". Ryan replied, "T-There is a phone attached to the
wall near the chimney of the common room. Y-You can call anybody as long as there on
this planet". James thanked him and went dashing to the common room. Then he
picked the phone and dialed a number with his trembling hands. Then after a deep breath he called. The phone ranged only once and the call was picked. "James! James are you there, sweetie? Jordan, no one is answering. They got him killed! I told you we shouldn't have sent him there! Oh James!"
James replied, "Mom, take deep breaths. I am fine. Nothing has happened to me". Then they had a long conversation and James apologized for the late call and after an hour of talking, he turned off the phone. He thought, "Good thing grandma didn't ask any details. I don't want to lie to her". Then he stealthily went towards the training grounds.
