Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 13: Practical Class(2)

Sun Qiu's group was paying close attention to Liu Yang, who was playing with the wind, he was manipulating the wind to create various shapes like blades, hurricanes, whirlwind, and other things. Liu Yang only stopped when he began to sweat.

Sun Qiu looked closely at the students of the three worst classes, he wanted to see if there was another gem or not, but it seemed that only Liu Yang had complete mastery over his wind element. The other students were having difficulty controlling their elements.

"It seems not as easy as it seemed, right? That's why this class is important, mages need to learn to control their powers and use it to the best of their ability. Those who choose to leave the class will regret this decision. "Sun Qiu said casually, he was already used to seeing this kind of scene.

"Do any of you have questions about how to control your element?" Zeng He asked, as he was the most studious of the group, he always spoke first on this subject. Several students raised their hands.

"You may ask." Zeng He pointed to the student in the front row.

"Instructor, I would like to know why it is so difficult to control our element. We can already use our magic the way we want, but why is the element of magic so hard to control? "A medium-looking young man asked, that was the doubt of other students as well.

"The answer to that is simple. When a mage awakens an element, the primary magic is etched into his mind, so it is easy for the magician to use magic, but it still takes a few months or years of training to be able to use the magic as if it were part of his own body.

But it is different when we are talking about the primary element of the game, the primary element is something that few mages train after awakening their power so that the magician is not able to fully utilize the characteristics of the element.

One such example is yourselves. How many of you have trained the mastery of the elements after awakening your magical powers? "Sun Qiu spoke briefly about what would be done in his class. No one answered Sun Qiu's question, as everyone was focused on training the magic they forgot to train the basic element of magic.

"Do you understand now? I can say that some of you have tried to master the primary element but failed, this is not an easy thing to do. You can take the examples of these three, they only started training the mastery of the elements when they entered high school.

When they were in primary school, they focused only on training primary magic and increasing magical power through meditation, which made them very dependent on their primary spells. Do you know what happens when a mage depends a lot on his spells? "Sun Qiu pointed to three assistants before asking another question.

No student spoke again, some knew the answer, while others did not. Those who knew were taught about it, as they came from traditional families with many members who were mages. Those who didn't know came from ordinary families who had almost no mage.

"A mage who relies heavily on his spells is a failure as a mage. Imagine the following situation: You are training in a dangerous place and you are only wearing body clothes and nothing else, but you need to light a bonfire, and very heavy rain was falling, and making it impossible to light a bonfire in the normal way. How would you light a bonfire?

By using primary magic, you can dry the materials faster to burn, but at the same time, your magic energy will be consumed faster. And when you need this magical energy if there is an emergency, you are already out of energy. So how can you save magic energy and light a bonfire at the same time?

The answer is simple: You just need to control your element. Lei Hu, show them. "Sun Qiu asked his assistant to show students what he just said.

"Yes, instructor" Lei Hu took a few steps forward and looked at the students before starting the demonstration.

"Pay attention to what I am going to do now," Lei Hu said solemnly, what he will show is very important to the foundation of the mage. The students stared at Lei Hu, and see what he will do.

Lei Hu stood and stretched his arm, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Seconds later, red lights began to shine around the palm of his hand.

"Fireball," Lei Hu said slowly, this was the primary magic of the fire element. The fireball was the size of a soccer ball and had an orange color mixed with red.

Lei Hu then raised his other arm and did the same process, but what appeared this time was not a fireball, but a small flame on his index finger. Lei Hu let the flames burn for a few seconds before extinguishing and returning to his spot behind Sun Qiu.

"Did you realize the difference between using primary magic and controlling the elements? Raise your hand, those who noticed "Sun Qiu asked, he hoped that at least his students would notice the difference between the two movements.

Contrary to expectations, only a few students raised their hands, and Liu Yang was among them. Looking at this scene, Sun Qiu just sighed, he will have a long way to go to train these students.

"You stand up and tell your colleagues what was the difference between the two movements." Sun Qiu pointed to a young woman who was sitting, she was beautiful and had a confident look on her face.

"Yes. Instructor, the difference between the two movements is the amount of magic energy used. When we use primary magic, about twenty to thirty percent of our magical power is used, but when we use elemental power, the amount of power used is less than ten percent. "The young woman answered confidently.

"You're not wrong, but you're not totally right either. It is true when we use primary magic the magic energy consumption is higher, but when we use only the power of the elements, the consumption can also be equal to the use of primary magic.

One of these examples is what you were doing before, when you tried to control your element, some were expending magical energy as if using a primary magic. This shows that some of you have no domain in the element itself.

I hope that by the end of the year, you can control your primary element a little. You can sit down. "Sun Qiu said solemnly, he was not surprised to see that several students had not the least mastery of the primary element, as this kind of thing was not taught in schools. Only large families taught this kind of thing to their members.

"Now, I want to see your mastery of primary magic. Since you have been taught to control primary magic and not the element, I hope you will show me better control. I want everyone to separate and be at least five meters apart. "

The students began to separate, before sitting down and closing their eyes and concentrating, many lights began to appear again, but this time, the lights were much more intense as it was the spells that will be cast.

"Fireball"

"Water sphere"

"Wind blade"

"Lightning"

Students began to cast their spells as best they could, but only a few of them had a little control over primary magic. Sun Qiu and his assistants were paying more attention to these students; in total, the gym had forty students, but only five had a little control over primary magic.

In the front row was the young woman who had answered the question before, she had some control over her primary magic, but she couldn't control it long before her water sphere exploded.

In another corner, a student was also trying to control his magic, even a little. The two were scattered among the group of students.

In the last row, Liu Yang was sitting at the far end, he wasn't with his eyes closed like the others, he was with his eyes open and playing with his wind blade. The wind blade was part of his body.

Liu Yang doubled, extended. He was manipulating the wind blade as if it were a children's toy.

Sun Qiu and his assistants were not surprised to see this scene, if before, they saw Liu Yang control the wind element as part of his body, controlling the primary magic was much easier yet.
