Chapter 35: Magic Technique (1/2)

A few moments after the clock hit eight and the unpleasant sounding bell rang throughout the main building, the instructor here to teach magic to the students entered the room with a huge bundle of sheets pressed in between her hands.

”Hello, I am Nina Olsen, and I'll be your magic teacher for this year. Today, we'll be talking about magic techniques. I believe a lot of you don't know about this term as it's not publicly available. Am I right?” Instructor Nina said, looking at the students and waiting for their answers.

Many students showed blank or confused looks as this was their first time hearing about the term Magic Technique.

”This is my first time hearing about this.”

”Me too!”

Magicians born to magicians' families somewhat knew about magic techniques but not entirely. Instead, it was magicians born to a common family, with no prior relation to the magician's communities, that didn't know what magic techniques meant.

”Since many of you don't have prior knowledge of this, I'll start from the basics. Magic Techniques are a form of supernatural techniques that uses magic energy as a fuel to activate, granting magicians specialized abilities.”

Her words came as a shock to many students as this was their first finding out that magicians can use magic energy as fuel for something else besides their supernatural cells.

Instructor Nina continued, ”Surprising, isn't it? All your life, a lot of you have thought that magic energy is merely a fuel consumed by supernatural cells in an awakened magician's bloodstream to manifest their abilities, but it has never been that simple. The uses of magic energy are too many, nearly endless. We, humans, are just too ignorant about it because of our limited understanding of magic energy and our limited knowledge about magic.”

It has only been 20 years since humans first stepped through the spatial tunnels, entered Xavier, and started exploring it. They haven't obtained a lot of things from the deserted settlements of the mysterious civilization. Some were incomplete as the artifacts and technology were missing one or too many parts while books lacked pages.

Some magicians tried to explore the settlements for the missing pieces and completed them, but most remain incomplete to this day.

After all, even for a magician, salvaging the technology, artifact, and knowledge of the ancient civilization isn't easy.

A magician needs to complete the trials of the ancient civilization before they can get their technology, magic knowledge, and so on.

Of course, trials are dangerous, and there's a high chance to die in one of them. Still, many magicians head to the deserted settlements of the ancients to challenge their trials and acquire treasures.

Nevertheless, some don't return, some return empty-handed, some return with pieces of the whole thing, and some return with a certain version of a supernatural technique or a book with profound knowledge which does it worse to shook humanity out of its wits, helping them realize how their existence is insignificant compared to the profoundness of reality.

”Back to our topic, I will teach you how to form a magic matrix on your body today.” Instructor Nina said
