Chapter 75: Magic Power Elemental Class
“In ancient times, there were many non-human species.
There were the Elves, who had wings and could soar through the skies. They were guardians of nature, with magic as their exclusive symbol.
There were the Goblins, small in stature. They could craft all sorts of magnificent weapons—knowledge and forging skills were their hallmark.
There were the Orcs, with mighty physiques and innate strength. It’s said that even an orc infant had the strength of five adult humans—brute force was their defining trait.
And then there were the Dragons—tall, mighty, and revered as the strongest of all beings. They were at the apex of the food chain among countless lifeforms, kings of all creatures.
But what about us humans?
We had no wings or magic like the Elves, no knowledge or forging like the Goblins, no innate power like the Orcs, and no resilient bodies like the Dragons. It’s easy to see—humans were the weakest of all races.
So then, why is it that today, across the continent, there are only humans, and no other races?
The answer is simple: humans are unmatched in learning ability.
We can learn Elf magic.
We can acquire Dwarven knowledge and forging.
We can train our bodies like the Orcs.
We can even harness the kingly presence of the Dragons.
Under the protection of the Gods, we humans have secured our position on the continent.
We’ve adopted the strengths of many races—and in doing so, we continue to explore and learn even more.
Just like some great mages, whose passion lies in uncovering the mysteries of magic.
We too, on top of our basic magic, can learn greater knowledge.
This is the elementalization of magic power—transforming aura into something far more potent.
This… is the foundation of being a mage.”
From there, Daphne began explaining all sorts of knowledge about magic power.
The students listened intently.
Everyone was jotting down notes as they listened—everyone except Erika, who had nothing in her hands and simply stored the information in her mind.
At that moment, Isana quietly entered the classroom.
She gave Daphne a slight apologetic bow, then found Erika’s spot and naturally sat down beside her.
“Hehe.”
She flashed a sweet smile. Isana now wore a blue noble dress. Her silver hair draped over her shoulders, and a few rain droplets still clung to her clothing—she looked adorable.
Erika smiled in return and resumed listening to Daphne’s lecture.
It had to be said—Daphne’s explanations were incredibly helpful. Arguably, this lesson yielded more than any combat class.
Some useful knowledge flowed into Erika’s mind.
But most of it was trivial to her. As a Dragon, her magic came from her blood—it was fundamentally different from humans.
At the end of the lecture, Daphne explained the method of elementalizing magic power.
That was the main focus of today’s lesson.
Daphne’s explanation was complex—some freshmen didn’t fully understand—but Erika did.
Simply put, the method of elementalization was about sensing the power of nature. As long as one was a mage and had learned Chanting, elementalizing magic power wasn’t too difficult.
While regular magic power could enhance physical strength, compared to casting large-scale spells, the difference was immense. Without elementalization, magic couldn’t be unleashed like destructive magic.
If one could elementalize their magic power, whether it was for applying buffs or casting destructive magic, their combat strength would greatly increase.
“Well then, students, now you can come up one by one and try elementalizing your magic power using what I’ve just taught.”
Daphne cleared the space at the front. “Consider this your test for the lesson. Of course, I don’t expect everyone to succeed immediately—but I do want you to learn the method of practicing.
Those who succeed will receive a Magic Apprentice Badge from me.”
“Got it, teacher!”
Upon hearing about the badge, the freshmen rushed up excitedly to try.
The first thirty all failed.
Elementalization wasn’t something that could be mastered just by hearing about it—it took practice.
Finally, on the fiftieth student, someone succeeded. Under everyone’s gaze, the student chanted in a deep voice, and the previously colorless, formless aura gathered into light, flickering with electric sparks.
“Congratulations, student Bazel! Your magic power is of the lightning attribute.”
Daphne applauded enthusiastically. “Lightning magic is known for its speed—Bazel, you can train in this direction going forward. Here, this is your badge.”
“Thank you, Teacher Daphne!”
Bazel looked elated as he received the badge and gave Daphne a deep bow.
After all, with a Magic Apprentice Badge, he’d have something to show off.
“Wow! Bazel’s amazing. He learned it after just one explanation. We don’t know how long it’ll take us.”
“Just lucky… If we attend a few more of Daphne’s classes, we’ll manage too!”
Clearly, Bazel had become the center of attention—other freshmen looked at him with envy and admiration.
Bazel himself rubbed his nose smugly.
So far, he was the only one to succeed in elementalization.
Sure enough, the following students lacked his talent. More than half failed after him, which made Bazel even more proud—some had already started calling him a genius.
Next up was Isana.
She calmly walked to the front and began gathering her magic power. With practiced Chanting, her aura rippled outward like waves.
Then, the aura began to emit a faint white glow, and a chilling coldness could be felt.
“Congratulations to our student Isana!”
Daphne applauded again. “Ice attribute elementalization—very rare indeed. As expected of someone with Elfreid family blood.”
“Wow… She really is the Duke of Daylight’s daughter. She’s not like us.”
“Yeah, I doubt this is her first time elementalizing magic. She looked so practiced…”
“I remember the Duke of Daylight’s magic attribute is also ice, right?”
“Didn’t you pay attention? Daphne already said she inherited the Duke’s blood—it’s obviously ice.”
Now, all eyes were on Isana again—she had become the new star of the classroom.
But Isana didn’t care about the praise. She simply smiled and waved at Erika, as if she only wanted to show off to her.
Then it was Erika’s turn.
Pursing her lips, she slowly walked onto the platform.
Daphne still wore her expectant smile.
But among the freshmen, when they saw the Bronze Badge on Erika’s chest, they didn’t expect much.
After all, someone rated Bronze by the academy—how much talent could they have in magic?
Some didn’t even bother looking at Erika.
A Bronze Badge student? No way she’d succeed in one go.
“BOOM!!!”
Yet just as everyone had written Erika off.
A massive aura erupted from her body like a tsunami. The aura shifted mid-air, and the temperature in the room rose sharply.
A crimson glow surged from Erika’s body.
She had succeeded in elementalization!?
Moreover, the vast magic power and elemental radiance she released were on a completely different level from the previous two.
If Bazel and Isana were gentle streams—then Erika was a thunderous waterfall, her radiance illuminating the entire room.
