CHAPTER 9『WAR』

A voice was resonating inside a well-lit room, warm inside, and comfortable sets of desks and chairs.

It looked like the students who sat upon them were comfortable; the desks were abnormally placed around the teacher's own desk.

The pupils inside were all girls, not many in terms of number. Still, this class is thought to be comprised of the finest magical students in the entirety of the Empire: "Odeon".

The name "Odeon" is directly from Ancient Greek and can be translated as "music place" or "singing place", though it hardly has to do anything with music. One could suppose it fairly looks like a miniature amphitheatre, and that is the reason why it's called "Odeon".

If someone were to count them, they would be 30. The 30 brightest minds of the Empire, all studying inside the Imperial Court.

The old-aged teacher, who still seemed to have many years ahead of him cause of his energetic and animated nature, even thought he was close to his 80s, took out his Surger.

"Now, regardless of theory, who can put this to the test? May one of you, whoever wishes, step in front of all and demonstrate 'Lingfal'. Failure to do so, will result in your semestral degradation."said the Professor, leaving the area of demonstration open for anyone.

Almost immediately, a pale hand arose in the air with confidence.

The Professor nodded and the girl, with a kind of different elegant air, elegance of some sort, walked to the demonstration area, where all the students bellow her could feast their eyes upon her incantation.

With a slight smirk on the left corner of her mouth, she took her Surger, her blue eyes mesmerising the ones who dared glue their gaze into them.

With an elegant leg pose, making a dynamic turn, before finally projecting a black beam at a wooden target on the other side of the huge room.

Her two legs were looking at opposite sides; her right leg, ok the left side, and the left crossing the right, on the right side.

And yet, this was a Duelist's pose. The black beam landed with so much force on its target, that blue off not only the wood on the target, but also the wall behind it.

Her classmates were fairly impressed, applauding mildly her impressive accomplishment. The professor, with a smile on his face, applauded too, as the girl left the demonstration area, with an even bigger smile than before.

The magic bell suddenly rang.

"Alright, this is all for today. I want you to study 'Lingfal', the Urgish spell many types of devils and Creatures of the Mandrak."said the Professor, leaving the class.

Almost suddenly, many girls came to the side of the girl who previously demonstrated.

"Aurelia-san, you're so cool! How did you learn to do that?! I've studied this spell previously and still haven't nailed it!"said another blonde girl, with a ponytail.

The girl sitting on her desk, named Aurelia, fixed her glasses, and formed a smirk on her face.

"I seems my talents baffle thy minds. My unworthy of such praise self just happens to practise a little more often than the average person..."said the glassy girl sitting on the desk, smiling.

"Hear, hear! We're not buying it! You're just too good!"said another girl on the left side, just next to her.

"I am just a humble servant to God and the Empire. Its not your dear classmate who has the power, she just burrows it from her masters. Thy masters. Every child of the Empire is a humble servant to the Emperor and God."she said, with now her arrogant smile wipped out, a much more innocent one taking its place.
