Chapter 378: Advancement n.


    The semester officially took off the next day. Their first lesson was the continuation of theirst ss on fusion magic, and Professor Gibson was still in charge of the ss.


    “By the end ofst semester, we all learned one of the most important fundamentals of fusion magic, mana vision.” Professor Gibson said.


    “Today we will be moving into the 1st stage of the main deal which is simultaneously activating both pathways to cast spells of different elements at the same time.”


    “It is only when both pathways have been activated that both elements can bebined at a molecr level to form fusion spells.” Professor Gibson exined.


    Every student in the ss could double cast and few could triple cast, but that was for only one element.


    “Professor Gibson isn’t that what I do when I activate lightning reinforcement and make cast fire spells?” ke asked.


    “Not at all. You see, when you cast Lightning reinforcement all that is needed to keep the spell active is to supply mana to all parts of your body.”


    .....


    “So apart from the initial time the spell was cast, the lightning pathways are no longer needed, enabling you to use the fire pathway.” Gibson cleared the confusion between activating all stars and double casting.


    ‘I wonder what fusion spell I would be able to cast with 3 elements?’ ke became even more excited to learn fusion magic.


    [Fusion spells require great creativity and understanding of all the included elements. So you should know it won’t be an easy task especially when you have 3 elements in a world where everything is designed for those with 2.] The system reminded ke that more power came with more work and responsibility.


    Professor Gibson continued the lesson and went on to demonstrate the activation process while they all watched with mana vision as he simultaneously controlled water and wind element.


    ‘Interesting...’ ke asionally muttered to himself as he closely listened and watched Professor Gibson.


    From his understanding, the difference between activating both pathways at the same time and casting normal spells was that the former required high mana control and was more stressful to the mind.


    “This would be all for today. See you all in the next ss.” Gibson dismissed the ss, freeing the 2nd year students from the torture of learning what they already knew.


    ‘From what I have seen, it is safe to say that simultaneously activating both pathways isn’t difficult. All it requires is a lot of practice and I would get used to it.’ ke said to himself as he and his friends headed for the canteen.


    Once they got to the canteen, they made sure to pick a table at the other half of the canteen.


    “Isn’t it redundant that the 2nd year students have to learn the same thing over again?” Castiel asked as they all sat down.


    “If I was in their shoes, I would die of boredom.” Brian said.


    “Yes, it is.” ke said to Castiel. “Although their overall performance is lower than that of ours, their average individual strength is greater than that of the first year, making the sses quite redundant.”


    “The only good thing I can say is that the exercises from the sses would improve their teamwork.” ke shared his thoughts on the matter.


    “Isn’t that bad news?” Brian asked with a raised brow.


    “Of course it is. Who gives a f*ck about their improvement.” ke said.


    They began ordering their foods, but that was when ke saw 4 2nd year students joining the table of 2 1st year students. Straight away ke knew they were about to get bullied.


    That was when a thought came to his mind.


    ‘I think I have found a way toplete my test and advance to the hero realm.’ ke said to the system as he stood up and began moving to the table.


    “Why so many at one table.” ke said as he mmed the head of one of the 2nd year students into the te of pasta he had bullied out of the hands of a 1st year.


    “May I join you guys?” ke dragged the unconscious 2nd year out of the seat and left him on the floor.


    “So what’s going on guys?” ke spoke to the first-year students not caring about the 2nd year students beside him.


    “I have had enough of this piss of shit. I will teach you how to respect your seniors!” The 2nd year student at ke’s right screamed as he threw a punch to his face.


    “You guys can talk to me.” ke continued to talk to the 1st years, not caring about the fisting his way.


    Just as the fist was inches away, a spiked mana barrier appeared piercing his knuckles and stopping the attack.


    “Ah!” The 2nd year student screamed in pain as he immediately pulled out his hand from the 2-inch spikes that had gone into his bones.


    ke was not yet done.


    As he was still wailing in pain, ke made the spiked mana barrier explode outward, causing the spikes to shoot into all parts of the 2nd student.


    ‘Too predictable.’ ke thought as the student dropped to the ground writhing in pain.


    From his bodynguage, ke knew the 2nd year student would want to take advantage of his position andnd a hit on him.


    “I know you guys are stupid but don’t tell me you are on the same level as him.” ke said to remaining 2 to make them reconsider what they were about to do. In the end, the 2nd year students hurriedly left the table.


    “That saves me some time.” ke said as he turned back to the 1st year students that were being bullied.


    “Thank you very much.” The 1st year students who were lesser nobles thanked him.


    “No problem.” ke said as he stood up.


    “They are so useless that they got demoted, so you guys shouldn’t be scared of them. Just try to always stay in groups.” ke advised the 2 before leaving for his table.
