Chapter 34 Leon's Fire Magic Lesson
Lyon walked straight to the podium with his hands in his coat pockets.
He slowly took his left hand out of his pocket.
slap~
He snapped his fingers lightly.
boom!
A fiery cloud flashed across the sky above the classroom.
"Starting today, I will teach you apprentice-level fire elemental magic. Now, take your spellbooks and head to the plaza."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
The apprentices in the classroom were still reeling from the shock of Lyon's sudden burst of flames.
Dorothy blinked, picked up the "Introduction to Fire Elemental Magic" she had just placed on the table, and quickly followed Leon.
After Dorothy took action, the other apprentices also realized what was happening and quickly headed out of the classroom.
In no time, the square downstairs was filled with people.
Lyon pointed to the dozens of wooden planks erected in the square and said, "See those over there? As long as you can stand five meters away and use a fireball spell to break the planks, you'll pass and I'll give you credits."
Then Lyon gave a demonstration.
He extended his left index finger and aimed it at a piece of wood.
In an instant.
A fireball flew from his fingertips.
boom!
The fireball struck the wooden plank squarely, shattering it into pieces, leaving only the stick holding the plank still burning.
This surprised many of the apprentices.
"Now I will teach you how to use the fireball spell."
Lyon's style is decisive and efficient, but the content he talks about is very detailed.
From how to convert the magic power within the body into fire element, to using spells to control flames, the content covers everything.
This made Dorothy feel that her understanding of the fireball spell had improved considerably.
After he finished speaking, he instructed the apprentices to walk five meters away from the wooden plank and begin to try casting the fireball spell.
The apprentices lined up one by one in front of the wooden board.
Dorothy didn't move to the front; instead, she moved to the back of the line.
She was observing.
The apprentices standing in front of her were all chanting incantations and activating their magic, but very few of them could actually cast a fireball.
Most of them can only produce a small flame.
Some could condense into a small fireball, but it quickly became unstable and could only be allowed to extinguish, leaving a wisp of black smoke in the air.
Of course, not all apprentices are beginners. Some come from noble families and have been exposed to magic since childhood, or have relatives who are magicians and are very familiar with magic, so they can use fireball spells.
Dorothy looked at the apprentice standing in front of her, whose face was flushed red from holding back his anger. This was the third time he had tried to use the fireball spell.
but……
puff!
With a small explosion, the apprentice's magic power was completely depleted. Exhausted and covered in sweat, he had no choice but to walk aside to rest.
Dorothy stood in the position marked with a horizontal line.
He took the withered wooden staff, which he had bought for fifteen gold coins, off his belt and held it in his left hand.
Hold the staff horizontally in your left hand and point your right palm at the head of the staff.
Dorothy activated the magic within her.
"Gather, flame!"
call!
A fireball the size of a fist was ignited in front of the staff.
Dorothy then swung her staff, controlling a fireball to strike the wooden plank.
Bang!
The fireball struck the wooden board, leaving only a black mark before disappearing.
Dorothy has just seen other apprentices who can use fireballs.
Then he specifically adjusted the power of his fireball spell.
She did perform very well, but she wasn't the most outstanding.
Even so, Dorothy still noticed that several people were watching her.
After all, Dorothy was a special case in her class.
He was one of the very few apprentices who did not participate in the club.
Now that he has shown considerable magical talent, he will surely attract the attention of others.
Leon, standing not far away, watched Dorothy successfully unleash the fireball spell, nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Then he turned his gaze to the other apprentices.
After Dorothy successfully unleashed the fireball, she didn't waste anyone else's time and quietly walked to the side.
boom!
Dorothy had only taken a couple of steps.
A loud bang suddenly rang out not far away.
Then a wave of heat blew over, causing Dorothy's magic robes and hair to sway slightly.
Dorothy turned her head to look in the direction of the explosion.
There was a brown-haired boy standing there, expressionless, raising his right hand.
Dorothy raised an eyebrow; this boy was the one who had clashed with the teaching assistant a few days ago.
Although the apprentices were divided into different classes, the pace of the courses was roughly the same.
They basically finished their basic magic classes at the same time and started their elemental magic classes.
Although the brown-haired boy was from another class, everyone was learning the Fireball spell in the same square.
Looks like they have pretty good magical abilities.
Dorothy glanced at where the boy's hand was aiming.
There are no more planks left there.
Only a few flames remained unextinguished on the muddy ground where the wooden planks had originally been placed.
"You're quite capable, no wonder you had a conflict with the teaching assistant at the beginning of the semester..." Dorothy turned around and walked into the crowd, slowly squatted down, and sat on the ground to wait for the class to end.
Dorothy watched as the boy who unleashed the powerful fireball walked coldly toward the rest area where her class was located.
As soon as the other person sat down, the people around them quickly distanced themselves.
It seems like he's not very popular.
Dorothy pressed her hand against her magic hat.
"Based on my years of experience reading isekai (another world) toilet paper, I see destiny!"
Of course, fate was just a casual remark; the other person was clearly a nuisance.
"Luckily, he's not in my class, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Dorothy observed the situation in the other classes.
The number of people is around thirty or forty.
Although Dorothy wasn't there when she enrolled, she knew that tens of thousands of new apprentices arrived every year.
The apprentices in this square are all those who have successfully cultivated magical powers through meditation.
There are only a few hundred.
Most of them were of noble birth.
Dorothy suddenly remembered something.
"It seems that this is Elor's third year in the City of Apprentices, which means that she took two years to go from an apprentice to a junior mage."
Look around.
There were about three hundred apprentices in the square. Of these three hundred, including Dorothy, only about ten apprentices had successfully used the fireball spell.
In the plaza behind, there are tens of thousands of apprentices who haven't even mastered meditation techniques.
When Elor was in the Giant Spider Forest, he was also very skilled in using magic.
Thinking about it that way, Elor's magical talent is actually quite good.
To verify my idea.
When Lyon announced his dismissal, Dorothy stopped him from leaving.
"Professor Lyon, I have a question for you."
Lyon stood with his hands in his pockets, looking somewhat tired.
"Ask away."
"I want to know how long it takes for a complete beginner apprentice in the City of Apprentices to learn meditation and then become a novice mage."
"I thought you were going to ask about magic. Let me think... Generally speaking, if your talent isn't bad, it takes about two months to master meditation, about half a year to learn a spell, and about four years to become a novice mage."
Leon looked down at Dorothy.
"Actually, if you weren't born with strong magic, meditation wouldn't be so easy to learn. It would take at least four months, so I was quite surprised to see you successfully complete Leon's magic class."
