The sun rose from the east signalling the start of the day however a problem suddenly arose for the students of the lower ss.


    "Run faster!"


    "I can''t believe none of us woke up early! Not even Miss Martha"


    Unfortunately due to Alicia and Apollo, the entire dormitory was enveloped by a sleeping spell.


    "Jeremiah why didn''t you wake me!"


    [Your body was tired from using too many skills that is why I didn''t bother waking you up]


    Alicia on the other hand was embarrassed at the fact she woke upte like the others.


    "You know guys I suddenly became thankful for Professor Adolfo''s training"


    "Don''t be I am currently dying from overwork because of him!"


    Sixteen students rush inside the building before going straight for the stairs. Finally, they arrive inside the ssroom seeing no one but them.


    "Hooo....and here I thought we werete"


    "Good morning students"


    "Ah!!"


    "!?"


    All eyes went on the door and their Tuesday morning teacher arrived. Missis Agatha Sidus is a resident of this city.


    "Good morning professor"


    "Good morning it seems like the lower ss did a little work out beforeing here"


    "Ah yes we did, we wanted to feel more active for your lessons, professor," ir said while catching his breath.


    "That''s good now all of you take your seats I will be giving a new lesson for today"


    Agatha Sidus is the lower ss'' professor for Magic and Creation 1 subject. She mainly teaches spells and willter on teach about scroll making.


    "Alright let us have a short recap before we tackle our next lesson. Tell me what is the difference between element, magic and spell"


    She said while writing those words on the board.


    Three hands were raised and the professor pointed to a green-haired boy among the students.


    "Keith you may stand"


    The young man stood up and began to answer.


    "Elements are the fundamental foundations that consist our nature. Fire, lightning, water, air and earth and their sub-elements represent the world''s forces.


    There are two types of definitions of magic.


    One is Magic or mana and the other is magic or magic study.


    Magic or magic study is a mystical study of every branch of magic brought from the elements. For example, from the element of darkness, a study of magic in which the caster used the undead and curses can be ssified as necromancy magic and ck magic.


    Magic or mana, on the other hand, is the mystical force that exists within the world, allowing individuals to manipte these elements and perform extraordinary feats


    Then spells are incantation, rituals or even forms that are used to harness or channel mana to achieve desired results"


    "That is amazing Keith you may sit"


    The boy sat down and felt quite relieved he had answered well.


    Apollo looks at him satisfied with how his fighting his quiet side.


    "Let me simplify Keith''s answer, elements are the raw materials, magic is the power or the study of the power, and spells are the means by which that power is wielded"


    She then wrote on the board before writing another set of words.


    Levels of magic


    Levels of spells


    "This past week we have studied the levels of magic and spells. Those levels are the following"


    Levels of magic


    1. Novice Arcana


    2. Adept Enchantment


    3. Archmage Dominion


    4. Celestial Ascendancy


    Then she wrote an example for each magic.


    Levels of magic


    1. Novice Arcana - Elemental magic


    2. Adept Enchantment - Enchantment magic  (Buffing or debuffing spells) ck magic (curses and gue)


    3. Dominion invocation - Conquering magic, Necromancy magic, ck magic


    4. Celestial Ascendance - Heavenly magic


    "Each level of magic is associated with the difficulty of how to wield it. One example is scroll making and potion making they arebelled as Adept Enchantment. Some people consider it weak because of its lowbat strength however the difficulty of learning these two types of magic is excessive. Well you all will realize that once you start your lessons about scroll making"


    She did the same thing when she wrote the examples of the levels of spells.


    Level     spells numeric strength


    Basic  - 0-1 (Novice fireball)


    Starter  - 2-4 (re)


    Central  - 5-8 (Ice spike)


    Magister  - 9-11 (Firestorm & tornado fire)


    Celestial  - 12-15 (ntery warfare)


    "Levels of spells start from Basic, Starter, Central, Magister and Celestial. Each time a spell is cast a magic circle will appear and each magic circle has rings, those rings indicate what level the spell is. Example spells under basic level have 0-1 spells. Meaning it has a single magic circle with a single ring inside"


    Agatha then let her students recall their past lesson by asking simple questions right after that she proceeded to introduce their new topic. Which is called spell proficiency, so Professor Agatha proceeded to challenge the ss.


    "We will now do some target shooting, to test out every spell we tackledst week. Are you all ready?"


    "Yes, professor!"


    That day the entire ss was exhausted from all the practical examinations they had.


    With their tired bodies, they dragged themselves towards the kitchen.


    "My what a sluggish movement" Miss Marthamented seeing the students enter the kitchen.


    "Hello Miss Martha"


    "Hello Apollo it seems like you are more awake than your ssmates"


    "It''s a bit unfair how he looks so fresh yet we look like zombies"


    "Train more and you might reach my level, Mckenzie"


    "Shhuuuuttt uupppp"


    .....


    After some snacks and homework dinner arrived which all of them enjoyed.


    "Keith you should speak more frequently, my ears gonna burst because all I could hear is ir and Mckenzie"


    "Yeah Samael is right these two talk so much I am going crazy"


    "Shut up, don''t you know my voice is the most unique voice on this continent"


    "Yes uniquely unpleasant"


    Niko argued while Samael dly agreed.


    The dinner started and ended with some bickering but it was still enjoyable for everyone.


    "Where are you going, Apollo?" Alicia asked seeing him heading upstairs.


    "Ah I will just change my clothes since I feel pretty ufortable with the one I am currently wearing"


    "Okaye down when you are done"


    "Yes I will"


    However, as soon as he arrived a soundproof barrier was created.


    "Right let us start extracting information"


    [Alright]


    First to be released was Elijah, his battered body was the first thing Apollo noticed before theck of limbs.


    "Let''s get on with this" he raised his hand and activated the spell Veritas.


    A ck smoke began to appear on the floor then it crawled towards Elijah.


    With the spell''s activation, Apollo saw how the body of his target began repulsing and moving unevenly.


    A flood of memories surged through Apollo''s mind but fortunately, Jeremiah was there to sort out and remove the unnecessary memories.


    "This is interesting"


    [Indeed]


    "So the 12 temples of the monastery are fighting amongst themselves"


    [It''s a blessing that they are not united as we thought]


    "That''s true imagine if all the 12 temples forces were to pour here"


    [That would be disastrous]


    "We have to keep them fighting among themselves"


    [How?]


    "Hmmm....I wonder"


    [The reason for their fight is their greed for more power and the honor of reviving Nirvana]


    "I wanted to praise them because instead of joining together they decided to make Nirvana''s return a race"


    [We need to keep them in that state before slowly eliminating them]


    "Right and I think we got someone who could help us"


    His hand made a waving gesture and a man d in tattered priest clothing appeared.


    [Segio?]


    "Correct"


    Another magic circle appeared beneath Apollo''s feet shifting the mana inside the room.


    "If I''m gonna use someone, this guy could be a perfect pawn for this job"


    A wide grin was on the boy''s face as he cast one of the forbidden spells of ck magic.


    "Lost magic, Ad me obedire"


    Like a flowing river Apollo''s mana gushed out activating the spell he had in mind.


    The lost magic is a level of magic that belongs to Celestial Ascendancy. The reason for it to be called lost was due to it being destroyed or banned because of the chaotic things it could cause.


    Even though it used to belong to ck magic its difficulty soared high as time passed. Ancientnguage became required topose the spell while the technique of the mana control was too old to be remembered.


    However, Apollo''s case is different because he lived in a ce where lost and forbidden magic can be found everywhere.


    While the spell activated Sergio slowly regains his consciousness.


    The ck ominous magic slowly turned into a red miasma, it began to attach itself to the body of its target resulting in Sergio''s body moving in a horrifying way. But no scream escapes from his lips instead only a nk expression remains.


    Apollo saw his enemy''s eyes begin to have rity signalling he was about to gain consciousness.


    "I think I need to show off a bit"


    He then walked closer and held Sergio''s neck, as the man opened his eyes, a person he never expected emerge in his view.
