Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 182 First Day of the Academy.

"Vaan, wake up."

Elara called out.

"mm?"

"Wake up, we are going to be late for our first class," Elara spoke with a worried look on her face.

Vaan then glanced at the clock with a sleepy look on his face and a deadpan look appeared on his face.

"Our class is that 9, Elara. It is only 5 right now…"

"That is correct. We only have 4 hours, now wake up, else we will be late." Elara spoke.

It was their first day in the Agresia Academy so she didn't want to be late no matter what.

"Elara, we do not have to climb a mountain, cross a river, then walk 500 km to reach our class. The Teleportation Portal is merely 10 minutes away from here. We can still sleep for three and a half hours and we will still be on time." Vaan spoke in a sleepy voice.

"No, we cannot do that.

If we go there by doing everything last minute, we will look like a mess and it would ruin the Family's image,

We need to be presentable on our first day, so wake up and start getting ready." Elara didn't back down. Her master had told her to keep an eye on Vaan and make sure that he doesn't laze around and that is exactly what Elara was going to do.

Vaan, however, had a different plan in his mind.

With an evil smile on his face, he grabbed Elara's hand and then,

"Ahhh!"

Elara screamed in surprise as Vaan pulled her into the bed.

"You come sleep with me as well."

Elara had no way to resist Vaan who had been training his body for a while now. Soon, Vaan's arm moved around Elara's waist as he then rolled over and completely brought Elara onto the bed.

The morning bed showed its power as it started taking over Elara's mind.

What made it even worse was how Vaan was now hugging her from behind. Elara could clearly feel his chest touching her back and her face turned red.

"V-Vaan, we need to wake up."

She spoke, this time, her tone was much more meek than before.

"Mhm, we will wake up soon." Vaan nodded with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes, however, were still closed.

"…"

Elara didn't know what to say.

Vaan hugging her like this wasn't embarrassing for her anymore, it made her heart race, yes, however, she felt a strange sense of comfort when she felt his presence behind her.

In the end, the strong sense of comfort from the soft bed and Vaan's hug completely took over Elara's mind, and,

"We need to wake up…"

Saying those words, she closed her eyes and entered the dreamland.

…

"Aaaaahhh! I told you we should wake up but you pulled me into the bed!"

Elara shouted as she walked around the room in panic when she realized that they were late.

"Elara… there is no need to be worried, we still have an hour…" Vaan, who was still lying on the bed spoke in a lazy tone.

This time, however, Elara did not fall for his tricks, without going near him, she grabbed the blanket and pulled it away.

"Wake up!

I will tell everything to Master if you don't."

This time, she even used threats.

Vaan had no choice but to wake up.

"Now go inside."

Elara spoke as she pointed at the bathroom.

"Are you going to come in with me? It will be much faster than going in one by one, no?" Vaan questioned with a playful smile on his face.

"We have another bathroom. I'll use that." Elara spoke up, rejecting him in an instant.

Vaan sighed in defeat.

'A man can always try…'

Consoling his inner self, Vaan shook his head as he stood up.

"Vaan, we are already late, please don't delay it any further." Elara requested with a pitiful look on her face.

"Alright alright." Vaan sighed as he quickly walked into the bathroom. Once she confirmed he was inside, Elara left the room and walked into another bathroom as both got ready for their first day as Academy Students.

Elara was panicking, however, the two of them arrived at their class 10 minutes early.

In Agresia Academy, there were Seven Subjects available for a Mage.

Basic Elemental Theory: a class where Magic Theories and Principals are discussed.

Potion Making: a class, as the name suggests, discusses Potion making and Alchemy.

Magic Engineering: a class that combines technology with Magic, this was the base of the Academy and the reason why the Academy was so advanced compared to other regions in Agresia.

Magic Combat: a class that teaches combat using magic. Topics like how to get an elemental advantage, how to find a better terrain, what spells to use in a battle, the difference between showy and practical spells, and all these various topics are covered here.

Familiar training: a class where students learn how to tame Magic Beasts.

Runecraft: a class that teaches about Instant Spells and how to inscribe them.

Leadership and Personality Development: a class that is not open solely to the Mages, but to all other students as well. This included reading about the general history of the world, teamwork, and leadership skills.

All these Subjects had 2-hour lectures, twice a week.

Making it a 28 hours a week curriculum.

This, however, was only the case for the first month.

After the First Month of attending all these classes, students were allowed to choose any 3 subjects they wished to pursue going further, making it a 12-hour-a-week curriculum. Of course, students were given the option to change their selected subjects every semester, and they were also allowed to choose more than 3 subjects if they wished for it.

The required attendance to sit for the semester exam was 25% and the semester exams were almost too easy as well.

Honestly, the Agresia Academy was Heaven for anyone who simply wished to spend his time roaming around doing nothing, however,

This was a place where the Elite gathered.

The students were not here to roam around and do nothing.

They were here to leave an impact.

The Academy gave their students a lot of free time, calculating it according to the required attendance, the students only needed to attend 8 lectures in the entire month and they were good to go.

However, the students didn't waste this time given to them.

These were the students who strived for excellence, they competed with each other, they did their best to be better than the others, they participated in the different tournaments held in the Academy, they created Clubs, and competed with other Clubs, they strived for better positions in the student hierarchy, they worked to get more authority in the Academy, more say amongst their peers,

They struggled to improve themselves, get ahead of others, and spread their name throughout the Academy.

That was how the Agresia Academy made it possible for its students to grow.

The Academy already knew that most of its students were from influential families who already knew what path they were going to take.

These students did not require teachers who could teach them basic theories about a few subjects, these students already knew their goals and how to achieve them. These students had the best resources and teachers they needed to achieve their goal, in their home.

The only reason they came to the Academy was to explore the world and compete with students from other influential families.

And it was not just true for students from influential families either, even the students who didn't have any substantial background, the very fact that they were able to enter the Academy was enough proof of their excellence.

The Academy might provide these students the resources to grow further, however, these students didn't require any classes either. The only things these students sought were excellent teachers who could see their potential and take them in as their personal students and resources.

In other words, it could be said that all the students in the Agresia Academy only went after one thing, recognition.

And today, was Vaan and Elara's first day in such an Academy.

"What was our first class again?" Vaan questioned as he scratched his head in confusion.

"It is Basic Elemental Theory," Elara replied, grabbing Vaan's hand that was scratching his hair and holding it.

A small smile appeared on Vaan's face, "Then shall we go?" he questioned.

Elara took one last look at Vaan, making sure he looked alright before entering the class, once she confirmed that, she nodded and,

"Let's go."

The two new students finally walked into their class and the moment they did, the entire class turned silent and started muttering amongst themselves.

"Is that girl a Star Student?"

"Red hair, Red eyes, mhm, she is the one, Elara Flameheart. A 4th Circle Mage at 21."

"4th Circle when she is only 21…

How is that even possible…?"

"You think I'd be stuck on 3rd Circle if I knew?"

"She's a monster…"

"Well, what did you expect, she is a Star Student."

"So there is finally a Star Student who is a Mage huh…

And to think she is not a Vesta."
