”Let's go over the basics of magic. As most of you should know, a chant is a prayer which can be heard by a spirit. Depending on the aptitude you have, you will be able to borrow power from a certain element of spirit when chanting.
For example, this is a simple chant.
Spiritus igne vocem meam da ignes. Elementary Fire magic: flamma” Translation: Spirit of fire, heed my call, grant me your flames.
A flame was formed above his hand, it was like my ignis but I could tell that it was weaker. But more importantly, I understood every word he said, why wasn't I able to understand chants earlier? Could it be because of her? No... Now that I think about it... Don't I always name my spells in a different language?
What language was it again? Ah... I can't remember, I just sort of know... Don't tell me from the beginning, I already knew the chant language...? Does the same go for Ariel?
I looked over at Ariel and she seemed to be doing fine, but a bit shaken
”As you can see, this is a basic fire spell, by sending a prayer in the magic language, which I'm sure you all already know since you're in this class, you'll be able to cast spells.
The higher level spells require longer chants, but it's not a problem if you're able to fast chant. Also don't forget to use silent cast when casting your spells so someone else doesn't steal the chant, although it's difficult, it's possible.”
Silent chant? Those guys that I fought said the same thing... Judging by the name, I'm guessing silent chant is a chant that's silent and doesn't need to be heard by others or doesn't need ot be too loud, as for fast chant, I already know what it is, a shortened and faster version of a normal chant...
So silent chant is the reason why everyone believed me when I fake chanted... I'm glad to know this exists, School life should be a lot easier as long as the teachers don't ask me to show a chant directly
However, judging by what happened in the exam, I don't think they're allowed to... Each student's knowledge and unique magic should be theirs to tell or not.
”Alright, now that's the basics. Now for some history on magic.”
The mood got less livelier

”And that's all for today. Stand” said the teacher
Everyone stood up
”You are dismissed”
When he said that, everyone walked out with a relieved expression, and they were no longer tense
”Hell starts tomorrow huh...”
”Yeah... Hell...”
”We came in 1 week earlier, I wonder how those new students will react”
”It'll be more fun if they find out on their own”
The students which were here before us, started chattering before they left
Hell huh...
”John, what are you waiting for?” Asked Serena as she waited near the door with Ariel
”Bye, john” Said victor as he left
”Ah, See you” I replied
His socialness was making me nervous...
”Do you need anything?” Asked the teacher as he wiped the board
”Yeah sir, actually...”
