Chapter 81 - Wyvern Techniques
“Come here. I need to talk with you for a second.” Arthur said, moving his arm to call out Kai.
Kai got up and went with him to a nearby tree to talk, where no student could listen to their conversation.
“What do you think of starting our training after class?” Arthur said.
“Really? Man, I was waiting for it.”
Kai had a bright smile and almost jumped out of joy. He was waiting for that. Kai wanted to become stronger. He wanted to explore his bloodline.
“Good, good. Come to my office after your classes are over.”
“Okay.”
It was a quick talk, and then they parted ways.
Kai’s classes would finish in about 2 or 3 hours, so Arthur had the time to do his own practicing.
He went looking for Wisa, who was hiding the scroll inside a secret room of the mansion.
Arthur only found her because of his dragon senses, and also because he asked Jane where the hidden room was.
“It’s on the first floor. Look for the storage room. There is a fake panel behind the cabinet.”
“Thank you, Jane.”
Not that hard to find after you know where to look. Arthur got there in no time.
The room had nothing extraordinary, but it was the place where they stored some books about magic that they did not want the students to see, at least not while they were beginners.
These books were neatly arranged on wooden shelves. The room had no light source, so it was pitch-black inside, but Arthur saw everything clearly using his night-vision.
Wisa was in the middle of said room, and had just finished channeling her mana into the scroll.
“Is everything all right with the array?” Arthur said, as he entered inside the room.
Wisa was not that surprised to see him there, and said, “yes, I already finished it. Quite a wonderful array you got there.”
“I’m that good at business.”
Arthur was not only there for the array, but he also wanted to know about the dinner.
“Anyway, Wisa, our dinner for tomorrow is still up, right?”
“Y-yes, of course. I never go back to my words.”
Wisa’s cheeks were the color of tomatoes, and she left the room with quickened steps.
Arthur was all smiles and could not wait for the dinner. After knowing that everything was fine with the array, and the dinner, he left the secret room.
Kai was still in class, so Arthur roamed around the school and even checked if everything was okay with the classes.
Harmony was teaching mana control, and how to properly absorb the mana from the atmosphere to strengthen one’s mana core. The class taken place outside of the classroom, in the wilderness.
“You’ll felt mana before, so all you have to do is focus on that feeling, and absorb the mana into your body. Remember, always try to absorb near your elemental affinity. Water element mages near water, fire mages near fire, and so on.”
Arthur listened to all of that, as it was always a good thing to learn more.
Harmony sensed someone was watching her. She looked to all sides until she noticed a silhouette.
“Arthur, Mr. President.” Harmony said in a respectful tone.
“Don’t mind me, just watching.”
The students also gazed at Arthur, and most of them were more nervous now that the president was there watching.
“What if I miss in front of him?”
“I can’t concentrate with a handsome guy like him watching me.” A girl said, covering her red cheeks using her hands.
They all had different reactions, and Arthur could only laugh seeing that.
“These kids… Well, let’s see if there is someone good here.”
Theodore was among the students, and that girl as well. Arthur did not know her name yet.
All the students sat in whatever place they wanted. Some inside the lake, others near trees, and some were trying to build a campfire to sit around it, all for the sake of absorb the mana more efficiently.
Arthur noticed the stressed faces of all students, as they couldn’t absorb the mana properly. It was difficult in the beginning, and only a few of them did that.
Theodore, and that girl did. In 5 minutes of meditation, the mana in the atmosphere was going directly to their mana cores, strengthen them.
It was a fast development, and even Harmony was surprised after seeing that.
“Good job Theo, Emily. Keep it that way.” Harmony said.
“As for the rest, keep trying, and you’ll eventually get it.”
Harmony tried to motivate the other students, as some could be unmotivated after seeing Theo and Emily doing the exercise so quickly.
It was the best decision a teacher could make, and Arthur liked that. One reason he was there watching was precisely to learn how to be an excellent teacher.
He had to teach Kai, and it was not as easy as it looked.
After twenty minutes, other students succeeded it, which made Harmony happier.
“How are the students going? And the classes? Are you happy here, Harmony?”
She was surprised to see that Arthur vanished and appeared right besides here.
“Y-yes, I’m loving teaching here. The students are talented and are paying attention to my classes. Even that Theodore seemed to have changed. Overall, everything is perfect.”
“Good, good. Are the payment also good? If not, then maybe we can talk about increasing.”
“No, no, Mr. President, the payment is good.”
“All right. If you need anything, then please come look for me.”
“I’ll, absolutely.”
Arthur nodded and left. It was almost time for him to teach Kai something, and he did not know what.
He took out that diary with dragon technique and tried to look for something a wyvern could use.
To his surprise, there were actually a few pages with techniques meant to wyverns.
“This is some techniques our allies know, the wyverns. These are not as strong as ours, but we are superior anyway.”
“That’s… Unexpected.” Thought Arthur.
