Chapter 62: Chapter 62: ....
7/8
On the stage, Reji looked at the rising favorability bar of the Elf Princess and secretly nodded. As expected, the "open-book exam" was simple.
He then began to teach normally.
The content was a magic course, which was specially chosen by Reji. Using the magic inheritance of "Star Sculpt II", he taught these magic theories below the third tier, which was as simple as child's play.
Reji spoke eloquently on the stage, explaining every detail and knowledge point clearly and thoroughly.
The students below responded well, and although they initially had a strange attitude towards Reji, this new professor, as his explanation continued, more and more students became increasingly attentive, consciously took notes, and began to write frantically.
However, Reji did not care about the other students and mainly focused on Vielsia, who was sitting in the last row.
From the favorability bar, he could see that the Elf Princess was still increasing her favorability towards him, indicating that she recognized his teaching.
However, what made Reji unhappy was that the increase was too slow. He had almost finished two-thirds of his lecture, but Vielsia's favorability had only just reached 17%.
'Hmm'
As the Demon King, Reji had many things waiting for him, and he could not possibly come to the academy to act as a teacher. Being a teacher was just a means to an end. He had to find a way to attract Vielsia's attention as quickly as possible and get this elf princess on the hook.
There was a way.
Reji had anticipated the current situation and had already prepared a second plan.
"Teacher, can you explain the key points of the Lightning Chain spell again?"
Below the podium, a female student wearing a hat with some purple hair showing from her temples raised her hand and asked a question.
Asking questions in class was normal.
However, many students were now shaking their heads at this female student.
The reason was simple.
The teacher on the stage had just been talking about the Lightning Spell, but she asked about Lightning Chain, obviously not listening carefully. There was no such spell as "Lightning Chain."
On the other side, seeing the expressions of her classmates, Vielsia also shook her head.
But she was shaking her head for the humans.
The Lightning Chain spell did exist, but compared to the Lightning Spell, adding one character "Chain" to it, made a huge difference in the level of the spell. The former was an ordinary first-tier spell, while the latter was a fourth-tier spell.
This female student had probably misspoken, but this also reflected that ordinary humans were completely unfamiliar with fourth-tier spells.
'Sigh'
Since disguising herself and entering the human academy, the elf princess couldn't count how many times she had sighed like this.
Vielsia couldn't help but doubt the prophecy of her ancestors.
Why did they guide their elf tribe here?
Was there really an opportunity here to seal the demons and allow the elves to "rise" again?
However, this sigh of worry stopped abruptly as the voice of the teacher on the podium resounded again.
"Lightning Chain is a fourth-tier spell with a large area damage. It also imposes an 'electrified' state on the target, causing damage to increase with each subsequent Lightning Chain.
"When releasing it, be sure to pay attention to the external environment. I personally do not recommend releasing it in a wet scene.
Although it can increase the power of the spell, it may also cause the spell to go out of control and accidentally hurt oneself, which requires the caster to have good control over the Mana"
The students in the classroom were all stunned.
That include Vielsia too.
Then, the young male teacher on the stage continued as if he had started an extracurricular expansion:
"I know that the student just now probably misspoke, but this is a good opportunity for us to discuss the higher-level spells based on the Lightning Spell, such as the Lightning Storm."
'Lightning Storm!!!'
Vielsia unconsciously sat up straight.
She had only heard of this spell, and it was said that a thousand years ago, the great human guardian Malvin had used it. However, there were few details about it in the elven records.
'Could it be that this professor also...'
"The Lightning Storm is an advanced ritual based on the Lightning Chain. The caster must be in a physically high position, and most of the chanting time requires more than fifteen minutes. After that, a large number of thunderclouds will be summoned."
"The effect of this ritual has two aspects. On the surface, it can cause a large amount of lightning damage to enemies within a radius of several kilometers. The additional use in the dark is to establish a thunder prison at the same time, completely isolating the area from the outside world."
"If you are interested in the legend a thousand years ago, the human guardian Malvin once used the second feature of the Lightning Storm to delay time for the army and protect the human king who was deeply surrounded by the enemy."
Vielsia: "..."
"??????"
Now, it was not only the elf princess who was confused in the classroom.
More human students also had a confused look on their faces.
However, soon, if it was the female students who had shining eyes for Reji, this young and handsome professor, now the male students also had shining eyes.
"Lightning Storm? A seven-tier ritual! Can we learn this?"
"I remember that the strongest archmage in the empire is only at the sixth-tier spell, right?"
"What are you thinking? The spells that the professor is talking about are definitely deduced from myths and legends and do not actually exist in reality."
"But...it sounds so cool and awesome!"
Many male students nodded in agreement, and as they listened to Reji's description, they seemed to imagine the scene of standing on the mountain peak, raising the magic staff, and controlling the thunder and lightning to defeat millions of enemies with one move.
This feeling was just like when reading a fantasy and cultivating novel.
Although they knew it was all fake, they couldn't help but like to imagine themselves in it and enjoy the fantasy.
