My Mage System (BL)-Chapter 60 - Shaping A Blade

Kevin then used the time their teacher took to calm the students who were mostly cheering him like a hero, to see how much Soul force points he would need to use this new spell.

[ MASTERY OF THE ELEMENTS ]

Lightning element level 5 : 12 680 / 20 000

Spell : None

Water element level 3 : 3 824 / 5 000

Spell level 1 : Water Arrow (Soul force required to activate : 30)

Wind element level 2 : 353 / 2 500

Spell : None

Earth element level 2 : 57 / 2 500

Spell level 1 : throwing stones (Soul force required to activate : 20)

Fire element level 0 : 0 / 200

When Kevin saw that he only needed 30 Soul force points to use it, he felt very sorry for all the other mages around him who would have to learn how to create basic spells first, then introduce the particles of their elements inside it.

This System was really a big help, thanks to it everything was going very smoothly for him.

He decided to focus again on the professor Julian who had just told them that the demonstration was over, and that it was up to them to try and do the same thing.

He then said that he would drop by to see them one by one to give them advice if needed.

Kevin was really eager to try, yesterday with Alan he had already concentrated a certain amount of spiritual energy that he had shape into a ball, let's try something else then.

So he focused on the spiritual energy around them and concentrated some of it over his right hand, then he tried to visualize in his mind not an arrow but a blade.

After all, he was much more familiar with this type of weapon than with an arrow, and it was also easier to shape it.

But soon after he began, Kevin realized that his shape wasn't holding in place and that the spiritual energy he had been concentrated was scattering. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

He pondered to find a solution and then he thought back to the amount of spiritual energy the teacher had used to shape the arrow, the one he had focused above his right hand was really small in comparison.

So he decided to increase his amount of spiritual energy and when he was sure that this must be about the same amount used by the teacher, he again tried to shape his spiritual energy into a blade.

This time he successed to do it and the spiritual energy was so condensed that the milky blade seemed really sharp and almost real, it looked as good as the teacher Julian's milky arrow.

Kevin then threw it at his dummy with an expert wrist move and the blade of spiritual energy crashed into the middle of the dummy's head, leaving a conspicuous mark on it.

Kevin was very pleased with himself, and he couldn't help but exclaim : "So cool !"

He paid absolutely no attention to the other students who had all stopped doing what they were doing to watch who had just cast this spell.

When they realized that it was this Kevin again, they all wondered how that was possible, his Soul force was one of the weakest of all their promotion but he was always the first to succeed.

What they didn't realize was that whether it was to craft a potion or create a spell, it wasn't a question of how much Soul force reserve you had, the main point was to have a focus and strong mind that wouldn't get easily distracted like theirs.

Kevin with his practical mind decided to do this same basic spell over and over again until it became an automatism and that his execution speed picked up enough to be useful in a real fight.

Julian who was taking care of the students who needed guidance had always kept an eye on Kevin, he had hoped that Kevin would have needed him but oddly enough he was doing very well on his own.

He had heard that Alan wanted to be his tutor and that he had made an exceptional waiver request for it.

The only information he had managed to get about this student was that his name was Kevin, that he was an orphan, and that therefore he had no knowledge of either alchemy or spells.

He had also heard about his test scores and having a low Soul force level wouldn't affect his progress to learn to create spells, at least not at first, as the basic spells all took between 10 or 20 Soul force points to be created.

What amazed Julian the most was that Kevin instead of trying to shape the spiritual energy into another basic spell, after successfully forming a blade, was only focused on this one.

And he was shaping blades faster and faster and he was still throwing them with the same deadly precision, remarquable, he thought.

Kevin didn't forget that he was only supposed to have 180 Soul force points so when he checked his Stats and saw that he had already used 150 points he decided to stop for a while and instead ask their teacher some questions.

Julian who had just finished to give his advices to a student saw that Kevin wanted to talk to him so he walked up to him and asked him : "How can I help you Kevin ?"

Kevin seemed surprised so Julian explained to him with a shy smile : "Well, you are the only student to have an affinity with 3 elements so don't be so surprised that I know your name.

Tell me how I can help you because I don't feel like you really need me."

Kevin sighed helplessly, he had forgotten the fact that having an affinity with 3 elements was extremely rare, he asked his teacher : "Can you tell me more about the basic spells, I just deplete my Soul force reserve and I would like to know more … Can we shape any weapon from the spiritual energy ?"

Julian laughed and told him : "Um, yes you can shape any weapon with the spiritual energy.

The larger the shape and the more spiritual energy it requires, but the only limitations to creating basic spells are your Soul force reserve and your imagination.

Basic spells can also be used as a shield, they aren't just for attacking.

And once you will be able to see the particles of the elements without going into meditation you will be able to introduce them into your basic spells and they will then become spells of level 1."

Kevin couldn't hide his joy and he exclaimed : "So cool !"
