Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

Chapter 55 Basics

Everyone had different reactions to the new information they just received about the True Damage. Many of them didn't have any offensive Aspect, which rendered the True Damage useless for them.

Not to mention, they would have to face others who had offensive Aspects so they would be able to do True Damage, which seemed so daunting.

Seeing their doubts, Liliana said, "You don't need to worry that much, really. While True Damage is a pain to deal with, it isn't invincible since you'll only face Aspect-related True Damage. Anyway, that'll be too detailed, so I'll explain later."

She looked at everyone and continued, "I was just giving you a heads-up on what you should be careful about. Make a strategy based on the damage your opponent deals. For example, if they have a Magic Defence Shield, then attack them with physical damage and vice versa."

Everyone nodded, and some even began to take notes. Most, if not all, of them were from Second Dormitory, and as per rules, they were given less education compared to the First Dormitory.

So, they were very grateful that their boss was sharing such important information with them. After all, they all were each other's opponents too, but their boss still decided to share her knowledge; why wouldn't they be grateful?

Liliana raised her hand and said, "Now, onto the spells. As you all follow the Mage Path in one way or another, you will have to use Magic circles for everything. However, it's impossible to learn many spells quickly, so I would suggest focusing on a single spell."

She smiled and said, "One mastered spell is way more powerful than ten learnt spells."

Once again forming the Magic circle for Ice Bullet, she said, "I'm sure you all have already picked your spells according to the class you chose, so I won't be going into details for that. I'll just teach you some basics which will be helpful for you while mastering those spells."

Elara stood beside Veer and saw how focused he was. Smiling, she thought, 'Lily is a Noble Dragon, and her understanding is far superior to us. I'm sure he'll learn a lot from her.'

Liliana showed everyone the Magic circle she had made and said, "As you can see, it has only a single-line circle with two Runes on it. Those Runes are very important but you can't learn them in a short time so you can just memorize them. Do not at any cost try to play with them until I say so."

As she spoke, her gaze landed on Veer who immediately looked away. He knew she was talking about him as he would surely pull some stunts with the spells.

'Not like I'll stop with that,' Veer thought.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Liliana said, "This is what will happen if you play around."

Saying that, she slightly pushed one of the Runes. With a boom, the circle produced a small explosion on her face, but she had already withdrawn so she didn't receive any damage.

Everyone was dumbfounded, as they all just looked at the smoke disappearing in the air. They gulped and swore they wouldn't try anything funny.

'Shit! So if my firebolt had succeeded last night, I would have a dark face because of the explosion?' Veer swallowed back his saliva. 'Good thing I failed.'

"Now you understand the reason?" Liliana asked, as she gave a side glance at Veer. However, even she knew Veer wouldn't stop because of something like this.

As everyone nodded, Liliana moved on to the main topic, "Alright, so the first thing you need to do is bring your Mana outside. This is the most basic thing but also very hard."

'But it's the most basic thing for spells so even if it takes time, it's worth it,' Veer thought, as he understood how important this step was.

"I'm sure the Academy was at least focusing on this matter, right?" Liliana asked, and when the crowd nodded, she continued. "Good! This is mostly about your Mana control but it also has other factors so you will need to experience it yourself."

She looked at everyone and said, "Sit down and try to gather your Mana at your fingertip. I'll personally guide you on this. Also, few can achieve this on the first try so you don't need to worry that much."

Everyone nodded and sat down on the ground, not caring much about their clothes. Their main focus was on getting stronger and nothing else mattered.

One by one, they all closed their eyes and began to circulate their Mana Circulation Technique. Many of them were using a common Mana Circulation Technique given by the Academy.

Instead of sitting and practicing alongside others, Veer stood on the sides and observed everything. He had tried a lot of things last night and there were still many mistakes.

Perhaps, he would understand something by watching others do it.

The Serene Lotus Park turned silent again as the Warriors focused on their task, which seemed impossible. But they still gritted their teeth and continued with their work.

Mages were also focusing on the task at hand. Their minds fully focused on their Mana, as they tried to gather it on their fingertips.

However, it wasn't easy and they had to do it several times before getting even initial success.

Looking at them, Veer lost his motivation to observe them. They would take time to even get past this stage, anyway.

He went towards Liliana and said, "They will need a lot of time, huh."

"They do, isn't that why I'm making them focus on a single spell?" Liliana nodded. "They don't have time for anything else."

"By the way, can you help me with spells?" Veer asked, as he smiled at her. Only now he remembered how powerful and knowledgeable his girlfriend was, so why shouldn't he take advantage of that?

"I can help you with that," Liliana said, after some thought. "But they'll just be basics since you don't want to learn the Dragon Arts."

"Spare me those problems," Veer waved his hand and smiled. "Now is the perfect time to say it."

"Say what?" Elara asked, tilting her head to the side.

Veer grinned and said, raising his hands to the sky, "It's the Time for the Timeskip!"

"Don't repeat words. Also, what timeskip?"
