It was simply amazing— Neron’s Lecture.

I had expected him to be an average tutor and more of a powerhouse, but was excellent at the former as well.

After commending us, Neron addressed the most pertinent matters first. He projected our schedule on the wall behind him, making sure it was well above his head so he wasn’t obstructing his view.

‘Light manipulation Magic, eh? Nice mana control…’ I mused, remembering how the entrance results were announced in the same way.

Apparently, we had three magic lessons per day. Since this was an Academy that encapsulated a whole lot, there were other courses that involved areas outside magic.”

Courses like etiquettes, history, politics, etc. Were taught as electives. Main Courses were divided into two parts— General and Specialized. Since we were a class comprised of three departments, a system like this had to be implemented.

General Courses were to be taken by all Departments in our class while Specialized courses depended on our Departments.

Depending on the Department we were in, our Specialized Courses Differed. Magic-Users had Courses like Basic Mana Control and Basic Spell Creation while Scholars had more courses that dealt with theories. For Martial Artists, skill development and fitness courses were added. It was a complex, yet, well-distributed curriculum.

Well, almost anyway…

“You can choose as many as five electives. I wouldn’t overwork myself if I were you, though.” Neron added when handing out the forms to us.

He used a wind spell to control the fliers, allowing them to each land on our tables for us to fill.

Looking through the electives, I saw nothing especially useful among them. Electives weren’t compulsory, but it was a general opinion that it was better to study them.

While the merits were there— such as extra credits and an easier grading system that gave easily earned points to add to the combined score, the disadvantages for me outweighed those paltry reasons.

“It’s a waste of time…” A whisper accidentally leaked out of my mouth.

I already had a lifetime’s worth of knowledge concerning these Electives, and even as an affiliate Lecturer here I knew more than I could ever learn as a student. There was no need to bother myself about it.

Besides, courses like politics, history, etiquettes… even sewing— that’s right, it was a course, were things I could pick up in my pastime and learn by myself.

There was no way I would spend a great deal of my time learning such things now.

‘Yup! No Electives for me!’

That meant no free points or extra credit, but I didn’t mind. If I did perfectly well in all my Main Courses, it wouldn’t matter in the end. From the corner of my eye, I saw people biting their pens to figure out what Courses to pick but I beckoned to Neron thY I was done with my choice.

“Ah, I see… interesting…” He smiled a little after picking my form and reading its content.

I guessed he must have thought of me as one of two things— a genius or an idiot.

As others were still deciding, Neron moved on to other areas of importance. Sharing another set of flyers to each table, a piece landed on mine.

“The total list of courses you will be offering, both General and Specialized as well as their time. Electives are included in the back, so if you want to choose any or have chosen already, check the time you’ll be having them.

From my list, I could see that I would be having lots of free time on my hands.

The list went down even to my Specialized Courses. Neron had already recognized us based on Departments and had given us the sheet according to which categories we fell under.

By the time I finished reading, I was grinning at the list of courses I had to offer. They were nine in total— five general courses and four specialized ones.

{General Courses}

1. Basic Magic Knowledge. (The fundamentals of Magic. No matter the department, this course is important for everyone since magic is an essential part of the world)

2. Concepts Of Significance (There are wonderful theories and concepts that shape the modern view on several things. Magic, Martial Arts, etc. all stem from concepts)

3. Physical Exercise (Everyone must maintain an adequate level of fitness. Light exercises and aerobics will be performed daily)

4. Advanced General Studies (The fundamentals have been taught at home through the aid of tutors so advanced general knowledge of language, music, calculations, and other essential subjects will be learned)

5. Recreational Activities (Field study, botany, zoology, and various other environmental knowledge will be learned)

{Specialized Courses}

1. Basic Mana Control (Mana is the very lifeblood of magic that exists both in the surrounding and within every Magic-User. The fundamentals of controlling the magic within one’s Magic Core will be taught)

2. Basic Spell Creation (Spells are the mechanics of magic. They are complex methods used for activation and transformation of mana into the desired forms of Magic. The very foundations for spells will be learned)

3. Contemporary Magic Arts (Magic has advanced far beyond what it used to be. With modern magic coming into the light— spanning from those used for everyday activities to the more complex and powerful ones, students will learn of these new wonders of Magic.

4. Magic Theories (Magic is derived from concepts and theories. Learning these theories will broaden your scope of magic even further).

Of these courses, I was most excited about the Contemporary Magic Arts since it represented the very essence of modernity, but that didn’t mean the others weren’t important as well.

I heard that more difficult variations of the Courses we were offering now would surface as we advanced to a higher level and new courses such as Magic Research and Magic Philosophy would be dealt with.

‘I’m quite excited about the future!’
