Physics The Greatest Magic 66 Chapter 13: Xoleria

"Why do you both look so surprised?" Eleanor asked

I looked towards ariel and she was also surprised. I mean who wouldn't be... we were told that we were in a completely different continent from our previous one

But why Asteria... Wait... He said he wanted me to get stronger, will i find some sort of trainer or something to boost my abilities here? It's the magic continent but i thought only a few people are able to use magic...

"How many people in the continent can use magic?" I asked

Eleanor didn't seem surprised by the sudden questions and just answered naturally.

"Everyone can use magic here, those born in this continent are born with magic, whether it is commoners or n.o.bles, this is a sacred continent after all."

"Sacred..?" I asked

"Well that's what dad calls it, apparently the land gives blessings to those who are born here and they receive the ability to use magic, which it will be rare to encounter anyone who can't use it."

"I was told only a small percentage of the people in the world can use magic..."

"Excluding this continent"

So if everyone here is born with powers, why don't they just start bringing more people over here from other continents

"I have three last questions" I said

"Of course, feel free to ask them" She said with a happy expression

"Can anyone leave and enter the continent? How big is the population and since most people can use magic, does that mean they can become mages?"

Come on... What will it be

"Well... Those who aren't from here aren't allowed in without a permit or unless they are a high ranking adventurer, Or at least that's what i remember, The population... I'm not sure, and yes everyone can become mages but not everyone receives the right education"

So they aren't only born with magic but they're born with enough to become mages... Why is this continent only like this... But i don't want to ask too many questions, besides she might not know either.

"But if you're talented enough, even a commoner can get accepted into the magic academy," Said eleanor

Magic academy?

"Ah, the magic academy is a school where they teach kids or adults proper chants and spells, it's divided by ranking and the highest rank students in the school can even be taught king cla.s.s spells, They become really strong magicians after" Said Eleanor after she noticed my confused expression

Maybe this is why i was sent to this continent... He wants me to attend school? But I've never done chants before and i don't know how, if i show the school that i can use chantless i might get questioned as such

But if they have an education here, why weren't they able to grasp the concept of each element..? Maybe there are some who have but never made it public... I don't know, but i think i should go to this school

"Is there an academy where we're going? And how do you become a student" I asked

"There is, The place we're going to right now is the main city or capital of the kingdom of Xoleria, It's also where the most renowned school is.

Is it a coincidence that we were teleported close to this academy? Maybe we were teleported to the forest so that we wouldn't be detected, we're not from this continent after all... They might try to kick us out if they found out.

"There are two ways to become a student, Pa.s.s the entrance exam or be scouted."

I see... Well i guess i'll we should check it out. King cla.s.s magic... What is that?

"Hm... That might be where we go next, What is kings cla.s.s magic?"

"Eh? You were able to defeat the one who was trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate us, but you don't know what king cla.s.s magic is?" She asked with a shocked expression

"Nope..." I said with a nervous smile

I looked at ariel and she shook her head, she didn't know either.

"O-Okay... I'm not sure if you knew this, but spells come in ranks and cla.s.ses"

I considered it but you were the first to actually confirm it.

"At the bottom, there's elementary magic, it's not really that good for combat but it's good to practice and get the hang of it. After that we have intermediate magic, Suited for combat but not that strong, there are many different kinds and the chant is short so it's mainly used in close or quick fights"

I'm being given a pretty specific tutorial, How old even is she?

"After these two are, Advanced, Saint-Cla.s.s, Kings cla.s.s, Emperors cla.s.s and lastly G.o.d cla.s.s. The higher the cla.s.s the longer the chant but there are ways to shorten them."

"How do you shorten them?"

"The most common way is to use it enough times."

I wonder how much is enough... And which ranks my spells would be, I'm thinking of too many things at once!

"Okay, what about forb-"

... What was that..? I was about to ask her where forbidden lost magic that i apparently used would be ranked at, but a chill went down my spine. Is this her way of telling me not to talk about it?

"Forb? Forb what?" Eleanor asked

"Forb, Did i say that? I meant Beforb as in, There are requirements to use high level cla.s.s spells like kings cla.s.s right?" I asked

"Unfortunately so... There are two ways to learn spells, 1 is through a scroll of wisdom, You can only use them once and all the information of the spell is pushed into your brain. The other is by being taught by someone who has learnt it, but that one takes a lot more time. And even when you're taught it you might not have enough magic to cast it"

So there is a power balance... Okay...

"Thank you eleanor, Sorry i asked you so many questions."

"It's fine, i'm glad i was able to help you saved mine and Alfreds life, after all, if you need anything else, don't be afraid to ask." Eleanor said with a happy and proud expression

Man... I wonder what school will be like.
