An Extra's POV-Chapter 17: Magic Class

This 𝓬ontent is taken from 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Grand Mage Lucielle was an exceptional genius from the moment she was born. 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Her unbelievable affinity for Magic was undisputed, which was why she was able to become such a revered figure despite being in her twenties.

None of the old geezers who had studied and practiced Magic for nearly a century could compare to her.

She was an absolute monster!

The reason for such rapid growth on her part was due to being born with a particular Skill.

[Magic Mastery].

On H'Trae, people born with Skills were very rare. It mostly had to do with bloodline, or certain outliers that were not expected.

Even then, it hardly happened.

Skills were meant to be cultivated and developed over time by a person.

Everyone earned their Skills.

... Everyone but Lucielle.

The [Magic Mastery] Skill allowed her to be versatile in so many magic fields and utilize multiple attributes.

With such a head start as a mere child, Lucielle only rose further in the Magic World, evolving her Skill the older and more experienced she became.

Until finally, her initial C-Tier Skill transformed into an A-Tier one.

[Grand Magic Mastery].

With this Skill, and her immense capabilities in Magic, Lucielle was cemented as the strongest Mage in the nation.

After all, no one among the humans of H'Trae had an A-Tier Skill of such effect.

She was currently the best.

*******

"... And that's pretty much how using Magic works." Lucielle smiled as she observed the students before her.

Seated in front of her were the students of the Alpha Group, and they were all paying rapt attention to her lecture. fr(e)enovelkiss.com

Magic, to her, was as natural as breathing.

She had always been able to use it since she was young thanks to her Skill, so it was very difficult to teach these young ones.

However, she managed to pass across the information after tying and failing a few times.

"E-excuse me!" One of the students raised his hand as his voice echoed throughout the luxurious classroom that they occupied.

"Yes, Justin. What is it?"

Lucielle maintained her smile, but she was a little skeptical of the question Justin was going to ask her.

'I'm pretty sure I explained it well this time.'

It would be annoying if he decides to take us back.

According to what Lucielle knew about Justin, he was a bit of a class comedian.

He was also the least qualified among the students in the Alpha group, but his useful set of Skills and his Assassin Class made him very useful.

Combined with all the power the Hero brought to the table, and the other abilities of the rest of the members, Justin's abilities would prove indispensable as well.

That was the rationale behind him joining.

However, despite being given such an opportunity to join the big leagues, Justin was fond of making jokes and disrupting the class.

It wasn't really harmful in any way, but Lucielle found it annoying.

'It also slows down the progress of the class.'

She knew these were simply teenagers, but she had hoped these Otherworlders would take the situation more seriously.

Other than Adonis, Alicia, and Billy, everyone else seemed to display some measure of unseriousness.

'Well, I shouldn't assume too much. Let's hear what he has to say.'

"I was wondering if you could give us a demonstration with Magic on your end. You also mentioned the difference between Chants and Chantless Casting, so I would also like to see you show us an example to further burn this topic into our memory." Justin asked very politely and succinctly.

The entire class fell into surprised silence.

'E-eh? Is this really Justin?'

Not only was his question intelligent, but he had come about it in a very succinct tone.

Lucielle was impressed, to say the least.

"Well, I was eventually going to. But now is as good a time as any to give you a demonstration." She smiled and decided to go along with Justin's suggestion.

Her mood had gotten better, even if slightly.

"To answer both of your requests, I'll do both right now."

Lucielle stretched out both her hands, as if she was expecting a hug from someone, a brilliant smile on her beautiful face.

"[O' Flames of the world. Reveal your brilliance atop the palms of my hand: Fire Brid]."

~VWUUSHH!~

A brilliant surge of flames suddenly appeared. The fire danced and cackled with power as it rested on Lucielle's palm.

This was the example of casting Magic while chanting.

"[Fire Brid]."

On Lucielle's other hand, the same effect happened and flames of equal proportions appeared there.

Both flames had unstable proportions as they danced on her palm, but they seemed equal in power.

"Lucielle, please why are your flames equal? You told us the advantage of chanting, despite taking longer than chantless, is that the Spell is stronger." This time, it was Adonis who asked the question.

Everyone else in the class seemed to have the same question, considering all they had just learned.

However, the moment Lucielle heard this question, she smiled.

~FSHUUUUU~

Her flames died out as she closed off her palm, causing hissing smoke to radiate through the air.

"It's simple. I have another Skill known as [Magic Application]. It aids my casting and damage, so even without casting I can achieve the same results."

Gasps filled the room. All the students were surprised to hear this.

Chanting was a basic principle of Magic, so it was shocking that their teacher had a Skill to bypass it.

"You might not be able to notice it now, but both of my flames were much more powerful than any caster's would ever be if they used the same Spell. That's because of my Grand Mage Class."

Lucielle's Grand Mage Class made all the Magic at her disposal exponentially more powerful than normal, while utilizing the same amount of Mana.

As she explained all of these things, all her students had one single thought.

'She... she's amazing!'

They had already known it before, but this class solidified that truth and expounded upon it.

Both Brutus and Lucielle were absolute monsters in the world of H'Trae.

Fitting to hold the positions they had.
