46 Chapter 46: First Class
The sudden ring of the bell reminded the two students that classes would soon begin. This was the first class in the academy. It was announced in every buildings of the school for the students to arrive at their classroom in the next ten minutes.
As soon as Kevin and Lexa heard the announcement, they had immediately head for their classroom.
Upon getting to the classroom, Kevin decided to pick a seat at the back and surprisingly, Lexa had sat beside him at the back.
Dan and his siblings had also arrived and they were surprised seeing Lexa sit at the back of the class. They immediately sat on seats closer to where she was because the three seats beside Lexa has been occupied by others. So they were sitting at two rows away from Lexa’s.
Oddly enough, Dan wanted to stay far away from the two as he decided to sit at the front row. That way, he won’t be bothered by Kevin or Lexa.
“Are you really comfortable sitting at the back?” Kevin asked knowing fully that most of the females elves are sitting at the front role. She’s probably the only female sitting at the back of the class.
“Yeah, it’s comfortable sitting with you.” Lexa replied with a smile.
Kevin was wondering why she was acting this way. She seems strange and more friendly to him. There must be a reason to it.
“Lexa.. What you wanted to tell me back at the convenience store, what is it?” he asked.
.....
“Oh, the teacher is here.” Lexa pointed using that medium to ignore Kevin’s question. She thought Kevin was angry at her for spying on him but she noticed through his words that she was wrong and Kevin knew nothing about it.
Their homeroom teacher had entered the class, he was the man that gave them a tour around the school on their first day. He stood in front of the students as he planned to give them a welcoming speech before the classes began. At the front of the class was a white board that projects images and videos to the public. The homeroom teacher pointed the remote towards the board as he switched it on. A blue photo display could be seen appearing on the white board but the students weren’t concerned as each were chatting amongst each other.
Lexa had moved her head closer to Kevin and started whispering to him.
“Don’t worry about it anymore. It’s nothing.” She said to Kevin before sitting upright to face the teacher at front.
Kevin had a frown on his face. He wondered what that thing was that Lexa was hiding from him. He was sure it was something important with the way she sounded at first. But what could he do? He can’t force the word out of her.
“Good morning mage students. For those who do not know who I am, probably you came late or something, my name is Chris. I am your homeroom teacher, feel free to come to my office anytime you wish. And don’t worry I don’t bite students.” The whole class laughed and the class continued. Chris was able to make all the students like him on their first class. He was easy, cool and handsome and doesn’t seem to be able to get annoyed by anything.
“Classes for this week.” Chris announced as he pointed the remote control towards the board and the blue display switched to a list of classes to be held for the first week.
“As you can see, for the first week we will be teaching you how to make use of the energy force within you. The students who are able to complete the training will be promoted to the rank of a mage soldier. You’ll be given a weapon of your wish and more trainings will come which will determine if you would be promoted to the next rank or not. We’ll be having the next class together by next week, so keep on training hard and reach the top by the end of this week.” As soon as Chris ended his speech, the students applauded him as they exited the class for the next one.
Since the energy force training involves creating weapons with the inner energy, the students were told to head for the weapon hall were an Elf teacher with long white coloured hairs would be teaching them the basics of the skill.
The weapon hall was away from the main school building as it was located at a side in its own separate building. It was a large one-room building that had a Royalty feeling to it. To enter the building students needed to scan their access cards into the scanner and then the two large doors would slide open.
Just like other buildings in the school, Kevin noticed that the outside of the building had a technology feeling to it. But on getting inside the building, they saw that it was a completely different thing. The weapon hall was a large room where the ceiling was about twenty meters high. The room had no decorations apart from the different types of weapons hung up on the wall which made them realize that they were really inside a weapon hall. They also saw that in the centre of the room was a round raised podium.
Kevin looked at the wall and saw all sorts of things, Axes, short swords, fans, bow and arrows, Spiked clubs, whips, katana blade, Gauntlet, Scythes, long swords and many other weapons. It was so difficult for the students to choose the one they fantasize because all were attention attractive.
Sitting at the corner of the hall was an old Elf with a long white hair. With the position they met him, the students could assume that he was meditating as he had his eyes closed while a long katana blade was by his side. But the katana blade looks so rough and odd like it had been forged from an animal that was not of this world.
The Elf remained silent as he continued with his meditating with the back of his eyes closed. Kevin could only assume that the man was their teacher, being the oldest one in the room.
After the students had all arrived inside the hall, the old Elf had suddenly stood up from his meditation. His eyes were closed as he walked towards the students and stand behind the podium
“I guess you’re the first batch of students I’ll be teaching for this week. You guys are more than I thought,” The elf said blindly, which surprised the students greatly.
One of the brave male elves had stepped forward to see if the Old Elf was blind or not.
“Hey, stop there! Where do you think you’re coming?” The old Elf stopped the male elf before he could move closer to him.
Everyone was more than amazed seeing the Old Elf see without opening his eyes. They thought he was a blind elf but seeing how he was able to see them was surprising to the students. They wondered if it was magic he used ’cause that was the only explanation that makes sense to them.
“Sir, how are you able to see us clearly? Are you using magic to see because you’re blind?” One of the students asked.
The Elf didn’t reply at first but he slowly opened his eyes and a golden coloured eyes was revealed to the students. The students were in awe seeing such a golden and beautiful eyes as this. This was probably the first time they would be seeing this.
“Wow, golden eyes.” A female student said.
Just then the old Elf blinked his eyes twice and the colour returned back to his natural blue coloured eyes. He then shouted at the top of his voice after sensing that the students were checking each other’s eyes and comparing it to his own.
“ATTENTION!”
Everyone froze and turned to look at the old Elf.
“That you just saw now is called a spiritual eyes. It was something I learnt back when I was a student.” The Elf teacher explained.
“Can fairies learn it too?” a fairy asked.
“Yes both magical races could learn it but let me tell you. Learning the spiritual eyes skill depends on how well you could control the energy in your body. I will be teaching you how to control the energy in your body to flow on specific parts of your body.” The Elf teacher said.
Kevin thought the name of the skill sounded just like the one he had. The elven spiritual eyes. He wondered if both were the same, so he listened attentively to the teacher and watched how it all goes.
“Anyways, before we continue with our today’s lesson, let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Luke. I’m the weapon hall teacher for all the newbie students and I am glad to teach you all, it’s amazing that I see lots of students with enormous amount of energy. With this, learning the energy weapon skill will be so easy for them.” The old Elf explained.
“Now, let’s move on to the next topic. Spiritual eyes. I want everyone to try and use their spiritual eyes to move around the hall.”
