My Magical System

Chapter 145: Elemental invocation

Instructor Stuwart massaged his chin as he was trying to ponder if he had some knowledge about this kind of magical aura. But to no avail. No matter how hard he tried to remember, nothing came to his mind.

‘Wait!’ The instructor suddenly widened his eyes. ‘There is another energy who has a different color than the humans. It was the energies coming from the demons! The demonic aura!’

‘However, even with such energy, the red-orange color was still different from it, because demons usually had dark reddish and black energy coming out from them.’

In the end, he couldn’t tell whether it was the demonic aura or not, or whether a rare magical aura.

Looking at the aura that was seeping from his hand, there’s no doubt that it was a magical aura. Though he could feel a dreadful feeling from it, the instructor knew it was the same magical aura as the rest.

“Erm...” Instructor Stuwart made a low groan to clear his throat.

“It must be a rare case. Other than that, I can’t tell for sure as it is also my first time seeing such a kind of magical energy. Regardless, let’s try using this...” said the instructor, and from his spatial ring, he produced a cylinder crystal glass on his hand. Then present it to him.

.....

When he took it, he blinked his eyes in wonder, “What is this for, Instructor Stuwart, sir?”

“Oh! A magical measuring artefact!” Fayazu, who was beside him, was the one who blurted out the name.

“Mhm!” In agreement with Fayazu’s words, the instructor nodded his head. “Cast your magical energy on it and let it absorb.” Instructor Stuwart added after noticing the look on his face that seemingly asking how to use it.

Because he was a non-magical person just recently, no one was surprised that he didn’t know about it.

He nodded his head and followed the instructor’s guide. He summoned the red-orange energy on his hand then pointed it to the cylindrical glass.

When he focused his eyes on the item, he noticed some measuring lines on its side. He already guessed that it was what it was, for measuring purposes.

After the cylinder glass started to glow, the surrounding students made an inaudible sound, then, Woah! In a low voice.

Eman didn’t know if he needed to feed it with his full soul energy or just the minimum. But he settled with the little bit as he had a strong feeling telling him that it would explode if he used his 600 soul energy at the same time. So he decided to use a little bit of it, maybe about 50 points only.

As he noticed while fighting with Jura and the people from the Redwing clan, 100+ was enough to defeat them. He wanted to remain as neutral and normal as possible. Any unnecessary actions could lead him into getting attention. So he had to avoid getting more attention than he currently had.

After feeding it with the 50 soul energy, the gaseous substance that could be seen inside the cylinder tube had slowly risen until it stopped, a little above the middle.

Ohh, the curious audience has their eyes towards him and the instructor.

“That’s fine now...” Seeing that it didn’t rise anymore, the instructor stopped him and asked for it. He then handed it back to the instructor. After having a look at it for a couple of seconds already, the instructor showed an understandable face while nodding his head.

“I see, I see, at first I thought it was a rare talent. But it somehow turned out it wasn’t. Your magical energy was only as strong as most of the students here.”

Said Instructor Stuwart.

For some reason, he heard a sigh of relief coming from the other students around him. Most of them thought it was awesome magical energy because he had different colors compared to most of them.

Eman himself sighed in relief as well. At least he wasn’t excluded from the rest. And now everyone will not bother calling him magic-less or worm. Well, magic-less or weakest was better than being called a worm. But in the end, it was just a naming made by some lonely folks who were looking for someone to mock and bully. Such cases were not common even in his former world.

In fact, those people who bullied and mocked others were people who have a big problem in their lives, though not all. Some of them were pure self-centered idiots while some just wanted to vent their anger to other people. And these types of people were the pettiest creatures in the world.

Regardless, back to the topic regarding soul energy. What if he used the beyond 50 points of soul energy? Would the result be different? Or perhaps still the same.

Wait, might be good asking that system directly. He then called it without voicing it out.

Eman then asked the system regarding his weird energy. He asked about the difference between soul energy and magical energy. Or if it was similar.

‘I see, that sounds creepy though.”

Eman replied. Looks like his first impression of this system was right after all. It certainly urged him to become a killer! He scratched the side of his face.

While he was in deep pondering, the instructor called out to them.

“Deputy, although it’s not commendable to have low low magical energy, it was still good that you awakened, right?!” Fayatzu tapped on his shoulder and said comforting words. He probably thought he was down because he suddenly went silent.

“Sureness...”

The two of them listened to the instructor’s next words.

“Okay, everyone, today we will try to create elemental magic with your magical energies!”

“Woah! Finally. We will be taught how to shoot destructive elements such as fire, water, and other elements using our magical energies!” Said one student while raising his hands in excitement. The others were noticeably excited as well.

While saying it, the instructor was walking towards the woods. The students also followed after him. The instructor was explaining things regarding the elements like fire, water, wind, and etcetera.

Then a couple of minutes walking, they arrived at the clearing.

Ahead of them, they saw a tied boar. In Eman’s vision, he noticed the boar was still alive. The green bar above its head was about 70% full. Looked like the person who caught it had fought with it first.

The red bar would only appear whenever an entity was hostile to him, even humans were the same. So as long as they were not hostile to him. The color of their bar above their head was green. Because of this bar, it was easy for him to identify who was hostile to him or not. Not only with actions but also by thought. The red bar would be triggered when the person or other entity’s animosity towards him passed the threshold.

Regardless, he was wondering as to why the boar was tied in such a manner. In which, the boar was tied between the two wooden pillars with its limbs spread to all directions.

“Eh?”

“Hehe, what with that boar?”

“Oh, poor thing!”

“Dumbass! We’re going to have a feast!”

Looks like not only him who was wondering about the appearance of the boar.

Then a moment later, Instructor Stuwart went to the front and clapped his hands. “Okay, everyone, listen!”

“First, we go with fire. The first thing you needed to consider when creating shooting elements was the shape.”

Eman secretly asked Fayazu if everyone already learned how to create elements such as a fire.

Fayazu looked at him understandably. ‘I think, Deputy, it’s better for you to go back as a freshman...”

Although, the words themselves were very insulting, the way he said it wasn’t in a bad way.

“...uhm, don’t take my words the wrong way, Deputy, sir!” He hastily said.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, “don’t mind it, I’m not a bit angry about it.”

Upon hearing him, Fayatzu sighed in relief. Then he started explaining to him that they learned how to invoke elemental stuff in the first year. He also added that although everyone could learn how to invoke all kinds of elements, there were people who were gifted in a particular element and most of them became so powerful.

The appearance of a certain girl who uses fire appeared in Eman’s mind. It was Mina. He remembered her invoking fire when they were fighting those monsters in the forest near the Deep Cliff.

WOOAAAHH!!!

While the two of them were talking about the elements, everyone around them exclaimed in excitement. They saw the instructor created a fire on top of his finger. Then it slowly took shape until it formed into a ball.

Just then, he fired it towards the tied boar. In just a second, an explosion happened to where the boar was tied.

Everyone immediately exclaimed in excitement while some were clapping their hands.
