Chapter 146: The Fruit of Eileen’s Research

The arrival of Eileen instantly defused the tension in the classroom.

Mark shot Sein a fierce glare before settling into the vacant seats on the second and third rows with his two companions. contemporary romance

The medium-sized classroom had plenty of space, and it still felt relatively empty with over forty or fifty initiates present.

Mark’s insistence on the seat Sein occupied was more of a display of his status and dignity in the classroom.

Sein, on the other hand, was indifferent to Mark’s theatrics.

He simply preferred the central seat in the first row because it allowed him to be closer to the instructor, providing an opportunity to learn the mysteries of pyro elemental magic with greater proximity.

As a full-fledged mage, Eileen’s focus level far surpassed that of Sein and the other initiates.

It was possible that she knew exactly what was transpiring even before entering the classroom.

Nevertheless, she made no mention of it and behaved as usual.

Her gaze briefly lingered on Sein for a couple of seconds upon entering the classroom before promptly commencing her lesson.

The divine tower mages adhered strictly to their teaching schedule.

Many mages entered and left the classroom punctually.

While some dedicated mages might linger a bit longer to address initiates’ questions, such instances were scarce.

Eileen had only recently become a full-fledged mage. Although her depth of knowledge was not as profound as some other mages, it was sufficient to impart pyro elemental magic knowledge to Sein and the other initiates.

Apart from her role as an instructor, Eileen had other responsibilities at the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.

This hinted at her financial constraints, which was common for most mages recently promoted to Rank One.

In their journey to reaching Rank One, some mages would borrow rare resources from the academy to ease their promotion.

These individuals often faced significant financial challenges immediately after attaining Rank One.

Engaging in additional academy tasks became the primary means for this group of divine tower mages to accumulate magicoins and energy crystals.

Some mages would also opt for more adventurous paths, participating in interplanar wars where high risks promised high returns.

The extra income gained during these wars, coupled with the generous allocations from the divine towers or the orders of the knights, often surpassed earnings from teaching at the academy in the same timeframe.

Despite Eileen’s youthful age, her teaching capabilities were commendable.

A recently promoted full-fledged mage like her possessed a keen understanding of initiates’ needs and areas where their knowledge might be lacking.

Furthermore, Eileen, as a female mage, was one of the more patient instructors in the divine tower academy.

As Eileen delved into her lecture, Sein quickly shifted his attention from the recent conflict with Mark to the content of the lecture.

“The outcomes of different energy bursts from the same magic output are often determined by distinct spell models,” she began.

“Let’s take a standard fireball spell as an example. Activating it demands ten focus points and ten mana points from the initiate. However, by altering its spell model, the same amount of ten focus and mana points will then transform it into an advanced version known as the Firebird spell. Not only that, the explosive power of the Firebird spell is three times that of the original Fireball spell!”

“With my re-improvements, the standalone Firebird spell now requires only six focus points and seven mana points to cast while maintaining the same level of explosive power. Building upon the enhanced Firebird spell, I’ve invented an advanced spell known as the Mass Explosion spell, as well as the Thousand Birds Explosion spell, with destructive power comparable to a ranked magic spell and could pose a threat to even Rank One creatures.”

Eileen illustrated her research on the Pyro Elemental Transformation and other relevant information using a crystal ball and other instruments.

In terms of potency, the Firebird spell was only a decent intermediate magic spell comparable to the Pyro Chain Blade spell.

Eileen’s improvements not only significantly reduced the focus and mana points required, but also significantly improved its effectiveness compared to the Pyro Chain Blade spell!

The enhanced Mass Explosion spell unleashed dozens of magic firebirds crashing toward a target.

Eileen was unable to unleash this advanced magic within the confines of the classroom, but the records within the crystal ball depicted its might, measuring almost two to three times that of the Pyro Blade—an equally advanced magic.

What set them apart was that the Thousand Birds Destruction was an area of effect spell.

Upon watching the explosion sequence of the Mass Explosion spell in the crystal ball, Sein contemplated, “In terms of singular lethality, my Solar Eye spell should surpass Eileen’s Mass Explosion spell.”

“After all, it is the most powerful advanced pyro magic spell documented in the magic tome left behind by Master Morsidor. Comparing it to Eileen’s Mass Explosion spell, it certainly loses out in terms of coverage. I wonder if there’s room for improvement in the future.”

Many initiates in the classroom shared a similar line of thought with Sein.

Eileen’s presentation extended beyond words. With a simple wave of her hand over the crystal ball, a three-dimensional projection appeared.

The projection portrayed Eileen standing in a location resembling a training ground.

As she began chanting the incantation, scarlet pyro elemental energy particles visibly converged around her, coalescing into numerous palm-sized firebirds enveloped in intense flames.

The densely packed firebirds, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, surged forward at Eileen’s command.

Like torrents of fire, the elemental firebirds assaulted dozens of scattered targets on the training ground, obliterating them.

Despite being a mere projection, Sein and the other initiates in the classroom could clearly witness the sheer destructive power of this magic spell.

In the projection, Eileen appeared rather fatigued after unleashing the spell.

Soon, however, the projected image flickered and ended the showing.

Inside the classroom, Eileen proudly said, “That was the Thousand Birds Destruction spell that I independently designed and created. It has both superb explosive and coverage abilities, and is a recognized spell by the Arcane Light of the divine tower.”

“It’s undeniably superior even among magic spells of the same rank!” Eileen declared, lifting her chin up slightly with a smirk.
