Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 63: Donovan's Academic Activities 1

This is the first week at the academy and I was very overwhelmed, not because of the course which I can still manage by always having good marks though it is not a 100%, but still, because the overwhelming part comes from the schedule between my academy hours and my personal training with my family as it becomes more intense.

I thought by entering the academy, they would lessen the hours of my training which consists of physical training and magic training, including some other minor training that I still need to have from my grandparents.

I did not know why, but I believe this must have something to do with that mysterious person who possess the Investigator back then. The reason I can conclude this is true is that my dad begin to teach me many hard spells that I predict to be should've taught to adults, not be taught to a primary school kid.

" Garrrggzzhhh!!! " I failed to pronounce and to manifest the spell.

" Again, Donovan... " my father tells me to recount it again.

As I tried to recount it, I often lose my focus since sometimes, the training often make me forget that I had homework to do which I had to do at midnight after everyone is asleep as I look at my academy's Course Grimoire in order to find quick answers with the help of the System installed within me.

[ Question: ]

[ 1) What is a Curtain Spell? ]

[ 2) What Spell would increase all of the mage's senses? ]

[ 3) What is the Magic that can Alter the Area surrounding the Mage? ]

....

" Curtain Spell is the spell that will create barriers around us, disabling others from the outside to come inside and also in some certain levels, the Curtain Spell could also disguise the area that it covers. " I say the answer from the Course Grimoire while writing in on my notes.

" The Spell that can increase all of the mage's senses is the Indrath Sakhti Spell, the most ancient spell that still exists after the New Age, after Rag.na.rok. ... "

After seeing the word Ragnarok, I begin to pause myself, as I remember that very thing that I was wondering about after defeating Tania back then while she was still alive.

As I see the word 'Ragnarok', I begin to have some headache as the <Vague Memory Voices> Passive Skill begin to shout loudly in my mind as if the Ragnarok event was a very important event.

"( Ragnarok!!! )"

"( Ragnarok!!! )"

"( Ragnarok!!! )"

"( The doom of the go...!!! )"

" *GASP*!!! " I gasped after the voice finishes as I regained my composure, I immediately write the answer and quickly finishes the other questions before morning comes.

"( This is already past 30 minutes from 12 a.m., I need to finish this before 1 a.m. in order to get some sleep before 5.30... )" I said to myself until 1:20 a.m. I immediately close my book and Grimoire and go to my bed.

...

As tomorrow comes, I begin to continue my academy classes as in the next week we were all given physical training from ordinary sports training, magical sports training, battle training against some Hologram Warriors and even practicing some of the spells which is the hard subject for me for I was very talented in using Magic Skills but not in Spells for I had a hard time spelling the words.

" Indrath Shakti, indrath viso, indrath hiru, indrath hira, indrath fila, indrath rasa... " I chant the spell which still manifests in a small effect scale, unlike Carlos who happens to be a Pro in using Spells despite being only one year older than me.

" Wow, it seems Carlos here had a great Spell Manifestations... " the instructor says while praising Carlos and some others who had great talents in chanting and manifesting the Magic Spell's power while I and some others who happen to have a hard time using Spells like my friend Goriath here who I can see to have many difficulties not only on chanting the Spell's words but also had a hard time manifesting it even after the bell that marks the end of the Spell Class rings.

*Bell Rings*

" Okay have a good recess, everyone....!!! " the instructor says to the students as they leave.

" By the way, before all of you leave, there are some students that I need to council with at the time. "

" Let me see... "

" Donovan, Goriath, Henry, and Shawn...., please stay in your seats, we're going to have to discuss your progress and results in using Spells," she says as all of the Students leave for the Canteen including Carlos who waves me and tells me to non-verbally that he will wait there for me.

"( Ok ) " I say with my hand gesture as the teacher comes in and asks us about our problem with using Spells, especially Goriath who happens to always fail to chant Magic Spells despite his Great amount of Mana while the others are no serious matter because both of them are known to a had low-level value of Mana energy, but for my case, my problem is for not able to use any Physical Buff Spells but can still use some Elemental Type Spells to alter some of my Elemental Magic Skills.

After that Class, I go rest for a bit as usual until the bell rings again for us to return to our Class as we will learn some Magic Theories that we need to know for the writing exams that required us to understand the basic and advanced principles and theories of magic that have been set standard by the Elysium Haven's Magic Council.

As we attend the class, the Teacher chattingly taught us the theories and principles that need to be known by all Magic Students by the order of the Standard Procedures. While some students are able to grasp the reconstituted principles last year, some students also had a hard time dealing with them due to still learning about the new standards as they had already been too deep with the old ones.

But for me, I can still get the contents including Carlos whom I see had no hard time absorbing all of the course's contents with relative ease as I can see the happy and calm look on his face.

This is my activity for my first Two Weeks in the academy, I hope I could learn more to increase my knowledge of Magic.
