Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 57 Amelia

As Amelia blocked Jake's sword, Jake pushed himself forward and delivered a powerful blow that knocked the sword out of Amelia's hand, ending the match.

"Your swordsmanship is great," Jake said as he extended his hand to Amelia.

Amelia shook Jake's hand and replied, "Yours is better."

Jake shook his head and replied, "I won because of my physical strength."

Amelia nodded, and then Jake sparred with Aran, this time with Amelia acting as the referee.

The match with Aran was also short. Aran primarily relied on his speed and swift swordsmanship, but Jake saw that his level of swordsmanship was lower than his own. Jake ended the match by tripping Aran and then pointing his sword at his neck.

"That's enough," the old teacher approached them as Jake, Amelia, and Aran's match ended.

"First, you have great strength and good swordsmanship, but you lack flexibility. Fix that," he pointed at Jake and said.

"Next is you. Your swordsmanship is great, but your strength is lacking. If you can't improve your strength, then improve your speed," he said to Amelia.

"Lastly, you are third among the three of you. Your speed is good, but not your swordsmanship. Start practicing swordsmanship daily," he said to Aran. All three of them nodded, and the class ended.

"Let's add each other as friends," Aran said, and Jake and Amelia nodded. Aran then invited them to a group called Sword Kings.

"This group is primarily composed of Sword Masters. Even some teachers have joined it. You two should accept it," Aran said.

Amelia and Jake nodded and joined the group.

"What is the purpose of it?" Jake asked.

"Nothing much difficult, just exploring Dungeons or hunting wild monsters as a group of Sword Masters," Aran said.

Jake nodded and then said goodbye to each of them.

He then walked to the cafeteria, and yes, this academy has a cafeteria, although it was just not mentioned in Jake's guidebook as he has his own caretaker who can cook food for him.

Reaching the cafeteria, he located his friends and then walked to them.

"There is a seat for me too, right?" Jake appeared and said to them.

"Of course, but why are you here?" Mark, without looking back, said and then asked.

"Nothing, just didn't want to eat alone," Jake shrugged and said.

"So where are the others?" Jake asked.

"They forgot their dessert, so they went to get it," Mark replied.

"Forgot their dessert?" Jake asked.

Mark pointed at the pastries and shrugged.

"Can dessert be even forgotten?" Jake smiled and shook his head.

"There were many kinds of them, didn't you see it?" Mark replied.

'Well, someone just gave me' Jake remembered as he went to take food, a staff came and gave him a plate full of the best lunch.

Jake nodded and then after a few minutes, the others appeared.

"Oh, you're here too," Jimmy laughed and sat near Jake.

"Move," but Emily appeared and shoved him away and took the seat closest to Jake.

Dio, looking at this, laughed and said, "What about Luna?"

"I forgot to inform her," Jake scratched his head and replied.

At Jake's Mansion,

Luna, who had prepared Jake's lunch, is watching T.V. She turns to the door and mumbles, "He is late," and returns to watching TV.

Back to Jake

"By the way, what's your schedule? I didn't find any of you in any of my classes," while eating Jake asked.

"It's probably because of our different timetables," Mark replied, and then everyone shared their schedules.

"At least we have elemental class together," Jimmy said, as their 5th class is together.

"Have you guys established your villages?" Jake asked.

"I have," Mark, Jimmy, Dio, and Emily replied.

"By the way, mine is Platinum grade," Dio smiled and said.

"Ours too," everyone else answered.

"All of you also have Platinum villages? I mean, I can understand Jake, but you guys," Dio said.

"They are strong, it was just their unlucky day during the entrance test," Jake smiled and said.

Dio nodded, and then asked, "What about Heroes? Mine is a Legendary Assassin and a rare shaman."

"Legendary Blacksmith and an Epic Swordsman," Jimmy.

"Legendary Healer and a Unique Mage," Emily.

"Legendary Paladin and an Epic Blacksmith," Mark.

"Legendary Knight and A Unique Mage," Jake.

"Any of you have joined any alliance?" Dio asked.

"Yes, we have our alliance with Jake," Mark replied.

"Hmm, then add me too," Dio said.

Jake nodded and, using his Dusk ID, he sent an alliance invitation to Dio.

"Yosh, now we are together," Dio nodded and said.

"Let's meet at 5 p.m. in the game," Dio said.

Jake and others nodded and then talked for some more before going to their classes.

Jake's next class is Magic Creation class, just like its name, it is a class where one creates magic spells for their core.

Just like in previous classes, Jake got attention and then the teacher entered.

'Hot,' Jake thought as her clothes were quite bold, like a sexy witch.

"Ara~~, a Royal?" She looked at Jake and said.

Jake just nodded and tried his best not to look at the mountains.

Luella smiled slightly looking at Jake and then turned back to class. and saw most boys looking at her, 'not their fault, her flaming red hairs and dress along with her crimson eyes have a different allure'. she thought, not knowing most of boys' attention was on big mountains.

"Today, all of you will create a basic spell," she said, and then the screen behind her lit up.

"There are three ways of casting. First, chanting or speaking out commands," she said and demonstrated a spell.

"Oh Flame lord,

Burn my Target: Fire Blast,"

As a basketball-sized flame ball pulsating with red lightning materialized, she hurled it at the dummy placed at the side of the screen.

As the Flame Blast spell collided, an explosion occurred, but a light screen protected the students, and then that dummy absorbed all the energy, and the flames vanished.

A series of numbers also appeared on the dummy's head.

"Those numbers are the amount of damage," she said, pointing at the numbers.

"Now, Flame Blast," Once again, she fired but without completing the chant, and the numbers on the dummy's head this time were less by 50% compared to the complete chanting one.

"As you saw, if your chanting is incomplete or totally no chanting, the spell's power diminishes," she explained.

"Also, if you have mastered your spells, then you can also mentally chant," she said and blasted the dummy once again, and this time the amount of damage was more.

"The more mastery you have of a spell, the higher its power too," she said.

"Moving on to the next type of chanting, which is visualization," she said and then blasted the poor dummy once again, and the damage was similar to the complete chanting one.

"Tell any of you, what it was? A complete chanting result or incomplete chanting result?" She asked.

A student raised his hand and answered, "A complete one."

"Wrong," she replied, and then asked Jake, "What's your answer, Royal One?"

"None of them," Jake replied.

"Oh? How?" She asked.

"You never chanted; just visualized, just as you said," Jake replied.

"Fortunately, someone is listening to my words," she sighed and said.

"Good job, Jake, and the rest of you, I was teaching Visualization, so how could I chant?" She said.

Hearing her, everyone bowed their heads, but some of them were still not convinced.

"But you asked whether it was a complete or incomplete chanting?" They said.

"Yes, it was not fair,"

"Yes, it was your question,"

"You fools, it was a test," she shouted, and everyone fell silent.

"You five, get out of my class, and -50 points each of you. As for the rest, it's -10," she said.

'Points? Maybe it's a common student thingy,' Jake thought.

The five students glared at her and left the class, while the rest of the class glared at those five for provoking the teacher and having her deduct their points too.

"Now that the nuisances are gone, let's talk about visualization. For visualization, you need to know the magic pattern, draw the magic pattern, or visualize the magic pattern, and then make your energy flow as the same as that pattern. Doing so will result in the invocation of the spell," she said.

After some more examples, she moved to the last type of casting.

"This is the most simple way. You just have to draw the pattern using hand signs, and the spell is created," she explained, and then after some time, the class ended.

As class ended, everyone packed their stuff and started leaving. As Jake was leaving too, he glanced at the teacher, who, sensing him, winked at him. Jake hurriedly moved his gaze and continued to the next class.

'A succubus,' Jake thought as he left the class, while leaving, he also remembered the other succubus he met at the battle royale.

And the same was for her too. 'I wonder where he is.'
