Manaless Mage

The main reason the restaurant employed was his looks and handsomeness, employing him would naturally attract more customers(mainly female ones).

Harry slowly got up from his bed before walking towards the bathroom. He didn't exactly feel tired or weary but he still needed a nice cold bath after a long day at the academy.

*****

Three days later,

A bright smile beamed on Harry's face as he slowly walked into the Lightning hall. His smile was so wide that it reached his ears.

The moment he stepped into the hall, the gazes of the students loitering in the hallway were drawn to him.

Some of the female students stared at him with admiration written all over their faces, while a few of the students were green with envy as they watched Harry walk across the hallway.

A few of them turned around and started muttering to themselves.

Harry could actually hear what they were saying due to his high perception, however he didn't react to it and simply minded his business.

Some of them were simply talking about his looks and how he had transformed during the last few weeks, while the rest were trying to guess what his affinity grade was.

There were even a few students muttering about how he cheated his way into the Lightning hall by bribing the instructors.

Harry couldn't help but sigh when he heard the kind of words that drifted into his ears. He couldn't help but wonder who was speeding those rumors.

Most of it was so weird that he doubted the person that spread it had a functioning brain.

He wasn't that surprised about the envy of some of the first years and second years though.

Harry had only registered at the Lightning hall about a month ago, yet he had already surpassed most of the first year students.

At first, other Elementalists looked down on him due to the fact that he registered very late.

They thought that Harry would have to remain in the academy for about two extra years in order to complete his Elementalist training.

However, with how fast Harry was rising and progressing, they doubted that would be the case.

Harry had only spent a few days in the beast core absorption class before he got promoted also.

This was another shocking news that proved Harry's 'talent' in Elemental magic was truly out of this world.

Beast core absorption was one of the hardest classes for first years, they had to first channel their mana into the beast core.

Then they would gradually circulate that mana and mix it with the mana in the beast core before slowly drawing it back to their mana core.

The mana in the beast core was very erratic and would always resist against their own mana, making it even more difficult.

So for Harry to become very good at it in only a few days was really amazing.

It was almost as if Harry was training on easy mode—in a way, he was really training on easy mode as he had the system.

It was only natural that this made some of them feel inferior to him and also envious of his astonishing talent.

Harry lifted his head slightly and then stared at the huge analog clock hung on the door ahead of him.

The clock stated that the time was currently 6:45am. Elemental classes started 7am while theory/lecture classes started between 9am to 9:30am, so Harry arrived quite early.

The bright smile on his face returned as Harry made his way to his class.

As for why he was so excited, it was because today he was going to start spell-casting!

He would finally be able to use the 'spells' he had gotten from the system freely without worrying too much about being dissected or experimented on!

Harry and the other first year Elementalists could be seen sitting on a bright yellow 'mat' with crossed legs.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

This class very wide compared to the other classes Harry had been to. The walls and floors had a darker shade of silver and a few yellow lines and carving could be seen at the edges of the wall.

Each Elementalists in the room had a long and thick scroll on their hands—including Harry.

It wasn't just a ordinary 'scroll' though, it was actually a spell book!

Spell books were made in the form and shape of scrolls, the scroll contained all the necessary chants and movements needed to cast the spell.

Though spell books didn't have to be designed in the shape of scrolls, Elementalists and mages still decided to make them that way.

It was to give more meaning and importance to their appearance, it would be weird if spells were learned through PDF and rough notes.

Besides, the scrolls weren't made with just pulp and paper.

Though they were also foldable like normal scrolls, the difference between their quality was like heaven and earth.

They were actually made using the skins and leather from mana beasts, the instructions and steps on them were also engraved in the scrolls using runic pens.

Unlike normal paper, official spell books couldn't be torn or eaten by rats. They were a lot more durable than normal paper and scrolls.

A blue haired man stood in front of the class. He placed his hand behind his back as he kept pacing around the class.

His appearance was anything but friendly and approachable with narrow piercing black and thin, furrowed brows.

His furrowed brows made him look like he was frowning even when he wasn't, creating a weird unapproachable atmosphere around him.

"As you all know!" His deep baritone voice boomed around the classroom.

Some students even shivered subconsciously as his voice seemed to jolt them out of whatever thoughts they were having and place their attention on the blue haired man.

Harry was the only one that was unaffected, the instructor was purposely releasing a little of his mana pressure which made other students in the class feel unsettled.

However, Harry who was unfazed by mana pressure, no matter how powerful it was didn't lose his calm.

A complicated expression flashed through the instructor's eyes as his gaze fell on Harry. He seemed to have noticed that Harry wasn't really affected by his mana pressure.

Though he was only releasing a tiny bit of his pressure, it was still an achievement for a stage one Elementalist to withstand it.

He didn't make any remark, however, his impression of Harry rose up by a notch.

"Today, we would be focusing on spell-casting!" His voice boomed once more. "I already taught you the basics on how to cast a spell last week. However, due to a new student in our midst, we would have to go back and revise on somethings!"

Immediately, the instructor said those words, the heads of almost of the students in the hall subconsciously turned towards Harry. Who else was the new student expect Harry?

"Attention!" The blue haired instructor shouted.

The Elementalists immediately jolted and turned their attention back on the instructor.

As for Harry, he simply acted like he didn't notice their gazes and kept his gaze forward.

Although it seemed like he was staring at the instructor, he wasn't. His attention was rather taken by another system notification.
