Chapter 137: Heroes Fear No Sacrifice
The afternoon Potions class was Professor Thompson's time.
But what left a deep impression on the students wasn't Professor Thompson's lecture on potions, but the return of Robert to the classroom.
With his head shaved bald by Sister Carian, Robert felt as if he were lying naked in the snow, completely exposed.
It wasn't until after the Potions class ended that the students lost the mood to laugh at Robert, because the potions homework was more than three times the usual amount!
Coupled with the spell card creation that had to be completed before the next Magical Engineering class…
The first-year students found that they had completely lost their freedom.
…
Because there was so much homework, even Dark was affected.
He had to temporarily put aside his spell card creation and battle it out in the library until evening.
Other than stopping by the lounge to extract a drop of [Lust] and storing it in his thought bottle, he didn't do anything else.
It wasn't until eight in the evening that Dark said goodbye to Diana and Rose, who were still struggling, and returned to his dormitory first.
He then began to create the [Barrier Spell] and the [Fade Spell].
The creation of the [Barrier Spell] was very successful, earning him two [Barrier Spell] magic cards.
But when creating the [Fade Spell], he encountered a problem and had to consult his textbook after the first attempt failed.
Although the [Fade Spell] was rarely used in dueling competitions, it was an extremely practical magic card.
Using the [Fade Spell], a mage could gradually become invisible within 0.5 seconds, with the invisibility lasting for 5 seconds.
Although the duration wasn't long, it was a rare invisibility spell that could be mastered at an early stage.
More importantly, this magic card could be used on others.
However, Dark couldn't find a solution in the textbook. He ended up practicing "Mental God Arts" for half an hour before quickly falling asleep.
…
The next day.
To solve the problem with creating the [Fade Spell], Dark specifically sought out Professor Kazel after the two morning classes.
Professor Kazel was happy to help him solve the problem.
With the answer in hand, Dark successfully created the [Fade Spell] magic card at noon that day.
With that, only the final [Blink Spell] remained.
The difficulty of the [Blink Spell] was on a completely different level compared to the previous spell cards.
Dark wasn't confident he could succeed on the first try, so he planned to wait until he had studied "Magical Language" to a certain degree before attempting to craft it.
"Two [Magic Bullet Spells], one [Push Spell], two [Barrier Spells], one [Fade Spell], a total of six cards."
Dark suddenly realized he now owned a total of eighteen magic cards!
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he was about to complete a basic deck of twenty cards?
He thought about it for a while and felt that he might give the Dueling Club's recruitment for the second semester a try.
After Halloween, it was difficult for first-year students to get opportunities to earn a large number of credits, and joining the Dueling Club was a good way to obtain them.
But that was something to consider in the second semester.
When the time was right, he tidied up a bit and went to the History of Magic classroom.
There was only one History of Magic class on Tuesday afternoon.
Unlike the previously boring history classes, the one taught by Headmistress Cynthia was very engaging, and the young mages looked forward to it.
Dark was one of them.
After all, opportunities to "listen to stories in peace" were becoming rare.
He even wanted to bring sunflower seeds, chocolate, and popcorn.
He just didn't know if today's Headmistress Cynthia would be the real one.
But it didn't really matter.
After all, he couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake.
"Ding-dong!"
When the class bell rang, students from all four houses turned their gazes to the door.
But a faint light flashed on the podium, and Headmistress Cynthia gracefully landed.
She seemed completely unaffected by the outside world's turmoil, still possessing a faint, ethereal quality.
"I am very happy to spend this second class with all of you. Today, we will continue to talk about the history of heroes. In the last class, we talked about some small stories from the student days of a model among heroes—the Brave. And we all know that in the kingdom, there is another person as famous as the Brave. Who can tell me her name?"
Headmistress Cynthia quickly got into teaching mode.
Faced with this giveaway question, the students all raised their hands.
Headmistress Cynthia scanned the room and finally called on Emma in the middle of the front row.
Emma's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said with some excitement, "She is one of the Twin Swords of the Kingdom, Valkyrie Alvit Saint-Demon!"
When she said the word "Saint," her enunciation was particularly forceful.
Because the word "Saint" was a symbol of having awakened a divine bloodline.
These people were also called "Saints," true powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of their era.
And the Valkyrie, like Headmistress Cynthia, was a representative of the kingdom's women, the object of admiration for independent and self-reliant women.
Emma was naturally one of the Valkyrie's little fans.
"Five points for Metis."
Headmistress Cynthia gestured for her to sit down, then said softly, "Alvit was the gentlest child I have ever seen in my many years of teaching. I have many stories about her, but she is quite shy and probably wouldn't like me to publicize her stories, so today we are not talking about her, but about her and the Brave's mutual friend—the story of the magus Peter."
Peter Shelvich, a hero who was active on the battlefield as a "Grand Magus."
Although his name was not as resounding as the Brave's or the Valkyrie's, he was still a household name.
But few knew that Peter was not a pure-blooded human; he was a half-blood of human and elf, with ears slightly longer than a human's and hair as clear as the sky.
When the Brave, Bright, and the Valkyrie, Alvit , were studying at St. Marian's, they were both noble pure-bloods from the Noble House, but Peter was a commoner, and he was assigned to the Fool's House.
How could a student from the Fool's House become friends with two students from the Noble House?
This involved another girl from the Magus House.
But Headmistress Cynthia clearly didn't intend to tell stories that truly involved personal privacy. She always knew where to draw the line, telling stories that the main characters wouldn't mind being revealed.
Peter Shelvich was a person who fit the creed of the Fool's House very well.
His wisdom was hidden within, his heart pure and innocent, possessing the greatest potential.
As a half-elf, he did not have the natural mischievousness and hyperactivity of elves; he was a quiet person, different from others of his age.
He was the finest piece of uncut jade, who should have become even more outstanding than Bright and Alvit with the polishing of time.
But he did not live to see that time.
Peter Shelvich died in battle!
