Chapter 7 - Official First Day

[ Now with everyone settled and knowing their place and rank the true Grey Flame Academy starts and everyone now is fired up to become better or stronger,the training rooms are filled with students training, focusing their magic, swordsmanship or practice that even when the teachers walk by they just look and admire the fire that's happening in front of them]

The kids are really going at it right?,I mean I haven't seen this since his majesty the king was attending this academy,even the low ranks are doing everything they can to improve.

Professor Necro speaks'

Yeah I still don't believe it,I thought that when they see the rank they're were gonna stop trying and give up and find suitable work to live by but no they're doing everything they can to improve and that in itself is scary,but I feel it's pressure for someone to go up in rank or someone to go down which can tip the balance everyday.

Professor Miller speaks'

So what do you think we should do?, just leave them for now and teach or intervene and help....

Professor Necro asks

Let's leave them be if they need help with something they'll ask and we'll help I mean it makes our job easier for them to teach themselves and not nah us.

Professor Miller replies

Okay!, so what are you having for lunch

Professor Necro asks

*Sigh*.....(Professor Miller ignores Necro and leaves)

[ A week later]

[A week goes by and the teachers haven't taught the learners anything and just watched the learners practice and teach themselves, when the learners needed help they would come to the teachers for advice and they would provide a suitable answer to help them with the problem, with that motion the teachers saw that now was a good time to stop this self teaching and start teaching them something to help further they progress]

Okay kids let's all go to our respective classes and learn there, you have improved In a short period of time we're proud of you keep it up.

Professor Necro speaks'

(The learners head to class sit down and await their teachers for Sky's class his main teacher is Necro, and in that class is the rank 3 candidate Reccan and he's been fixated on the fact he was unable to reach rank 1 on his first evaluation in the academy and want to succeed Sky to be number one.]

Okay welcome everyone and hope your comfortable, so me and some other teachers have been watching you so we're impressed about the situation and think this should continue of self study but it hasn't been announced yet , I think we'll announce it on the next academy announcement, so be prepared and listen well to that speech. Now today we're gonna be learning about placement and direction.

[ Professor Necro teaches the fundamentals of swordsmanship techniques of placement and direction. Which in summary he tells the learners that a swordsman short find the right placement of how to hold the sword where he feels comfortable and relaxed without straining they hand and for in direction tells them that the right change of direction and step for that direction metter as that would determine that you can counter or not the opponent your facing with those two techniques..]

Okay!, does anyone have any questions before we move on, cause I don't really like going back and forth on a singular topic.

(someone raised a hand)

Yes!

Professor Necro speaks'

Professor I was wondering,can the direction of one's stance and sword really determine the opponents aura,cause if it's so can't we fake the direction and change it mid placement then attack with a different direction?

The learner asked

Well that is true if you master sword control and aura control then these techniques I just mentioned ain't really useful...but!...do you know why I mentioned these techniques in today's lesson is to show you that they do have weaknesses and opponents can counter them easily if not done correctly,but if you do them correctly and precisely you might very well have mastered two sword techniques in one training session, cause remember these techniques are not for you to use every time but these techniques are here to give you a platform for you to know how to turn the placement into a high damaging stab,slash and parry, that's why I only taught you these two for now cause this academy is not for us to teach is for us to guide cause like I said in the beginning you'll be doing 2 things which is practical and duels, so do some self study and because my class is all about physical training and real world missions, then you have magic where you have to study and learn...read books and do incarnations... blah blah blah!!!..who really use magic anyway but it's fine. Let's get to training get a partner we we'll be doing the 2 techniques in action and you can incorporate those techniques with basic skills to make it comfortable for you and uncomfortable for your opponent, okay! Let's begin.

Professor Necro speaks'

[The learners get a partner and start doing the 2 techniques that professor Necro taught them about placement and direction. The first part a bit hard as the learners didn't have a slight idea on how to incorporate their own style of fighting into the two techniques and so some learners were struggling while some were just doing the 2 techniques without incorporating and of their own skills and just focus on understanding the techniques first them as time went on the learners were starting to take the lead of those not incorporating skills in the techniques and they just do the basic 2 techniques them as time goes on the learners all got customed to the techniques and we're fully confident in mixing their own skills to make the it difficult for their opponent]

(3 hours later)

Okay that's enough for now you all did great. You need to train a bit with these techniques a little more but so far I'm satisfied with what I'm seeing so keep training when you have free time and don't forget to relax and have fun, now in a few weeks we'll be have a class duel and this time it won't be the 4v4 like last time no we will be having it by the whole class so be prepared and tomorrow we will be doing 2 more techniques. That's it for my class enjoy magic class!.

Professor Necro speaks'

(The learners leave for magic class)

*Sigh*...damn my arms hurt I thought it was gonna break this technique training is really something

Sky speaking to himself

HEY SKY!!! wait up

Ceilen shouting and running towards Sky

Ceilen what are you doing here?

Sky asked

Well I finished magic class so I thought I would check up on you.

Ceilen answers

Ohh, now that you did that bye!

Sky speaks' and brushing off Ceilen

Hey!! Don't brush me off like that I'm serious.

Ceilen speaks'

Okay fine, what is it?

Sky asked

I thought maybe we can a sparring match once in while,you know to help eachother get stronger what do you say

Ceilen speaks' and answers

I'll think about cause my right arm hurts and it needs healing I'm thinking of heading to the infirmary once magic class ends

Sky speaks'

Ohh really I can fix that

Ceilen speaks'

How are you gonna fix that you don't even know any healing spells

Sky speaks'

Well are you sure about that cause professor Bell taught me a rank IV healing spell and I can heal you, but I'm still learning it so the affect won't be the same

Ceilen speaks'

Wait,wait... you were taught a rank IV healing spell, what classes are you taking that are giving you these teachings?

Sky asked

What do you mean!?, ain't we getting the same teachings

Ceilen answered

No!, we're not , I'm still getting rank III teachings and nothing more. How are you already getting rank IV teachings are these teachers not taking us seriously.

Sky speaks'

Maybe the are, maybe the are looking at the best route of teaching you so you can understand better and faster

Ceilen speaks'

*Sigh* whatever I'm gonna be late for class...

Sky speaks'

Wait I haven't healed you yet...

Ceilen speaks'

It's fine I'll go to the infirmary don't worry

Sky speaks'

(Sky rushes to class aiming no to be late....before getting in clashes with Reccan in the door )

Watch it idiot, can't you use your eyes or something or are you blind

Reccan speaks'

Sorry Reccan I didn't see you there I was in a rush

Sky speaks' and apologised

Come children sit down and open your books we are going to be learning something great today

Professor Britley speaks' and cheery

(The learners sit down and open their magic books and notebooks)

Today we are gonna be learning shield forming and shield construction. Isn't it gonna be fun!

Professor Britley speaks'

(Sky confused on why he's learning a rank II magic spell....then)

(A raised hand)

Yes!

Professor Britley speaks'

Professor I was wondering why are we learning basic spells,.while other professors are teaching their students high ranking magic spells?

The learner asked

Well young the answer is very simple....they asked they're teacher to teach them that.

Professor Britley speaks'

Huh!!..what do you mean?

Learners asked

Well are learners has a right to ask the teacher to teach them whatever topic they want to learn for example you can ask me to teach you rank V magic and I'll happily do that,but the main question is that can you handle those magic teaching cause the more advanced the magic spell the more it takes a roll on the heart,so are you ready to do it?

Professor Britley speaks' and asked

Are well I think I can!

The learner answers

Okay then let me ask you a question, what's your rank?

Professor Britley asked

Ahh!,it's 115 professor

The learner answers

Mhmm, and that would not work you see your magic resistance is very low so you can learn rank V magic, you'll collapse from the output. Let me explain in a short and quick example. Your ranks determine how strong you are when it comes to magic resistance meaning that you can control how much magic is used to make a spell and not collapse from it, the lower the rank the high chance of collapsing or death but the higher the rank the less chance of that happening for another example we have Sky rank 1 and Reccan rank 3 those two can do and create rank V-VIII spells and not meet that fate because they can control the output of magic in their heart okay we even have Thorne rank 6 and Solen rank 8 they can also do the same thing and not meet the same fate, so that's why I'm teaching these spells to help you guys to get stronger and that's why the other professor's are doing so, so that you don't be disappointed when you don't see results but here's a secret that are lot of teachers are keeping from you when you guys start doing academy missions you'll be going to be taught rank V-VIII spells so you better grasp the basics cause if not your going to be in whole lot of trouble, the teachers that are teaching high ranking spell know this and still do it cause they know are learner that doesn't know a basic spells won't survive in the upcoming missions, so me and Necro are doing our best to help you so learn the basics before we teach you the advance cause once we do that you'll want to learn basic and we won't do that cause you skipped basic and wanted advance,so does anyone else have a question or you good.

Professor Britley speaks'

(The class falls silent)

Good!, now let's go back to the original lesson.

Professor Britley speaks'

[The learners watch as how a magic shield is formed and how is constructed.with a basic outlook on how everything is done the professor gives the learners a way to shorten the shield to be more portable and a way to widen it to make it into a big shield to protect multiple people at once, with the teaching moving smoothly the learners are watching taking notes and focusing, then]

Okay I think you've seen enough now your gonna be making and constructng a shield from short to wide in a few times of doing it you have to able to control the shield while you're doing it cause thats the tricky part but it should be easy.

Professor Britley speaks'

[ The learners try to make the shield by constructing and forming it, for the talented it was easy to do as their rank proved to the lower ranks that what professor Britley was saying is true as some where struggling to maintain the shield while some didn't feel anything, as the learners are getting used to the forming and construction some learners start incorporating the shield with counter attack spells to help with counter giving them different density to the shield, while others were seeing for how long they maintain the shield without loosing concentration]

(...4 hours later...)

Okay kids that's enough for today, you did great on the shield I hope you can practice it until you get used to it and a better way to do that is when your in sword class you just do a shield to help you that way you have two things to maintain and help contracting. Okay that's it for me you leave and remember to have fun

(The learners leave some going to their dorms to rest while sky goes to the infirmary)

(In the infirmary)

Ohh Sky what brings you here

Nurse asked

Ahh!, my arm hurts a little so I wondering you can help in healing?

Sky answers

Ohh no worries I can help just sit down and I'll fix it right now

Nurse speaks'

(Sky gets healed by the nurse and feels better)

Nice my arms feels great, thanks nurse!

Sky speaks'

No worries, just be careful

Nurse speaks'

Okay

Sky speaks'

[ Now that he's healed he heards towards the training ground to practice the shield and the techniques he's been taught today by the teachers, he arrives by the training finds no one and starts practicing, as he's practicing someone was passing by and heading to the dorms when they were passing by they saw Sky training and...]

Hey Sky how about a little a spar, I was to how it feels like fighting a rank 1 of the academy!

They request

Sure I was wondering myself how I would feel fighting a ranked of the academy

Sky speaks' and accepts
