Chapter 239 Dragon Girl's Absurdity, Puppet of the Death Monarch, Dan's Past (10K)_4
"The inherent confrontational capabilities that the Full Battle Hand awards War Mages, are they truly as transformative to the development of the Magic System as advertised by the Guild?"
"If I do not wish to follow any of the established paths for War Mage development, could there be a more suitable direction for me to choose and create for myself?"
...
Amidst the somewhat noisy surroundings of the classroom, a group of people was gathering, starting to pose questions to the batch of Mage Apprentices who had coincidentally ended up at the frontier involved in the battle.
For the vast majority of these Mage Apprentices, it hardly mattered how strong the profession of War Mage was; they simply wanted to know if taking on such a career would make them powerful.
A group of Mage Apprentices who had participated in the actual combat didn't mind boasting to their juniors about their brave performances on the battlefield.
Of course, considering the real circumstances, these apprentices who had transitioned their careers from being Mages to War Mages had indeed achieved remarkable successes in battle.
One could even say they had justly earned the title of "Battle" Mages.
"Alright, you guys stop crowding around here and disrupting the teacher's lecture coming up."
Seeing that it was time, the old mages who were today's main lecturers had already arrived outside the academy, and one of the young apprentices who had experienced combat took it upon himself to remind the group.
Then, when his gaze fell on Kael standing behind the old mages, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Kael, noticing his gaze, looked towards him and made a 'keep quiet' gesture.
The young Mage Apprentice nodded, then turned and led his juniors into the classroom.
Soon, the old mage from the Secret Scrolls Mage Academy began his lecture on stage.
The topic he was addressing today was a spell that Kael had led in developing the previous year.
It was called the "Radiant Storm: Sixty-Six Arrows."
As Kael quietly entered from the back, the old mage was just dissecting Kael's Magic Model, thoroughly explaining to the students the flow and modification of magic power at each node in a simple yet deep manner.
Upon noticing someone suddenly entering through the back door, the old mage subconsciously frowned.
Assuming it was a student who had arrived late, he was just about to tell him to quickly find a seat, then realized it was Kael himself.
For a moment, the usually enthusiastic lecturer hesitated.
Truth be told, his hesitation was not out of fear of Kael's increasingly formidable influence, but simply because...
Analyzing someone else's spell in front of its creator is a huge pressure for even old mages.
By to now in the Mage Academia, Kael had completely stepped out from under Luxius' shadow, becoming the most dazzling star in the Mage Academia over the past fifty-plus years.
Many old mages held high expectations for Kael, and those who had delved into Kael's current situation were already saying that Kael had forged his own path.
The most typical were the old mages from the Zelda Islands, whose admiration for Kael had reached the level within the Mage Academia where they claimed, "Master Kael already possesses the traits of a great Master."
Great Master?
What kind of mage could be called a great master?
It could be someone who had integrated their own system, pushing a Magic School in breadth and depth beyond what ordinary people could fathom, typical of various Magic Monarchs.
Or it could be the founder of a new magical vocational system that holds substantial developmental value.
Kael was now sprinting down this path.
Mages have always valued knowledge greatly, and in the presence of knowledge, age doesn't matter.
Nowadays, Kael was undoubtedly the pioneer on this path, and no wonder the old mage felt a bit tense after Kael arrived in the classroom.
If any fatal flaw were to surface during his lecture, the old mage might feel his lifetime of renowned status could be ruined in such a classroom setting.
Fortunately, armed with many years of enduring thick-skinned resilience, even though feeling a bit panicked, the old mage managed to maintain his composure and continue sharing his understanding of the spell Kael had created.
Seeing that Kael did not object, the anxious old mage finally felt relieved and took the opportunity to ask Kael, the founder, to provide a more detailed supplement and explanation of this spell.
Under the admiring gazes of the novice Mage Apprentices, the lecture finally came to a close.
...
After the students had dispersed, the student who had spotted Kael outside earlier, after hesitating for a while, finally approached Kael.
"Teacher Kael, long time no see."
This young mage displayed a somewhat sheepish expression, finding it difficult to meet Kael's gaze.
"Anderson, it's been a while. How have you been?" Kael's voice was soft, yet it resounded so clearly in the ears of the young mage named Anderson.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Anderson's face. If those familiar with this apprentice saw him, they would find it hard to imagine that the Anderson who was usually so cold to others, could smile so happily in Kael's presence.
