Tales of the Legendary Magus

"Well, Amelia it truly was a pleasure meeting you. And if I decide to play cut or crease later in the year I'll be sure to come ask you for some tips." Villin smiled as he looked at Amilia. Ha had to admit she was rather likeable, she was smart yet approachable, a rather rare combination.

Amelia sighed loudly as she looked at the door to his room, "You truly don't know how lucky you got with your room, mine is in the four-hundreds. I used to be even higher before changing rooms with someone else thanks to a bet. Oh well, if we are lucky we might meet in one of the classes, until next time!"

After saying this she started walking down the hallway with a smile on her face, something that made Villin rather content as well.

Now back in his room, he took a moment to put his thoughts back in order before sitting on his bed with his eyes closed. He once more pulled his consciousness deep into his mind until he reached the web. He reached towards the middlemost node, the very same one he had attempted to awaken back when he had just awakened his web.

Villin once more reached out and was about to form his magic power into a drill again before he changed his mind and instead turned it into a spike, thinking of the object they had made in cut and crease.contemporary romance

Surprisingly the usage of magic power was considerably lower while the power remained the same. Instead of turning it as he had with the drill, the spike went back and forth continuously piercing a but further into the node's 'shield' every hit. Only a few minutes had passed when Villin felt his magic power go into the node uninterrupted.

When checking he noticed he had only used about a fourth of his magic power and so he decided to go ahead and awaken another magic node. He decided to pick one that was close to the one he had just unlocked. After all, in order to connect nodes they had to be somewhat closeby. Now naturally Villin didn't try to make a connection recklessly. If he did, even after a multitude of people had told him it might kill him, he could truly be called an idiot.

This node wasn't as bright as the one he picked first, yet it was a lot harder to awaken. At first, things were going as expected. He managed to get deeper into the shield every time he stabbed it with the magical spike. This was until he was about halfway. It was then that the node started to retaliate. When the magical spike stabbed downward, the node would release magic to fight his own, causing his magic to be used more rapidly.

Luckily Villin still had most of his magic power left and so he could simply power through it. Truth was that he didn't know what to do against the magic the node released and so he could only overwhelm it with his own in order to make it disappear. Hence he decided to wait until the next day after the first class was done, after all the class was 'studies of the web'.

He hoped the professor would then explain how to combat a node's retaliation and so he decided to sleep early so as to walk up refreshed.

When Villin woke up, he started with some physical training before grabbing the books he would need today. Every day had two basic classes and so since there were six different basic classes in total the students would get every class twice in a week. And then on Sundays, they would be free.

When he walked out of his room he noticed there was already some traffic in the corridor and so he decided to head over to the class. Except for magic history, Villin was truly interested in all the classes. In reality, he was rather surprised there weren't basic classes such as math but then again 'rune magic' was probably more useful.

After about ten minutes of walking through various corridors, Villin found the classroom he was supposed to go to. When he opened the door he was immediately surprised. There seemed to be windows in this classroom and the light was shining in vibrantly. There was a large chandelier in the middle of the large room and about thirty chairs. Yet these weren't regular school chairs as he had seen when exploring the school the previous day, they were proper armchairs that looked extremely comfortable.

On the small podium at the very front of the classroom was a teacher in a silver robe, organizing his papers. Villin recognized him as the kind teacher that had held the crystal ball when he awakened his magic.

"Ah, well hello there Villin, seems you are the first one here! Feel free to take a seat."

The teacher said with a wink as he noticed he had entered.

Villin was happy to see this teacher was the one teaching 'studies of the web' as this class together with 'rune magic' were generally considered the most important ones.

Villin hesitated a bit when he looked through the windows. He could see a blue sky and the sun. It made him feel it was rather odd that the hallways didn't have any windows in them.

"The school is actually located deep underground. The windows are enchanted. This, similarly to many other things within the school, has been made by a student at some point, so the school paid him for his services. I am pretty sure this student has now grown to become a class A teacher in the third year."

The teacher said with a smile as he noticed his gaze.

Villin nodded before choosing a seat near the middle of the classroom. Usually, he sat in the back so he had oversight over everything but he didn't want to miss anything and so he picked the seat in the middle.

A few minutes later a small group of five others came into the classroom. They seemed a little nervous when they entered and soon got surprised by how nice this classroom looked compared to the halls of the school.

The teacher greeted them using their names and told them to sit down. All of these people had regular wands and none of them had a wand sheath such as himself. The difference between the wealth of class A and class B was very big.

Some more time passed and more students arrived, usually in groups of three or four. This somewhat worried Villin as everyone already seemed to have built their friend groups. Just as the time for the class to start was about to arrive the final student came in. When they saw her not only Villin but all the other students also seemed surprised.

"Ah, welcome Kayley, feel free to go ahead and take a seat."

The professor greeted the girl with her red hair, good-looking wand and sheath.

Villin was stunned for a moment as he recognized her, he was almost certain she was in class A before this.
