Words : 2080 Updated : Sep 17th, 2025

The next class of the day was the class with instructor Von as the students were seen walking towards the class while chatting excitedly about what complex creation magic they were going to learn today but Grey didn't share their excitement. Although he was excited for the complex creation magic, there was still something on his mind. 'Arcane dungeon! I wonder what level of beast are available there.' he thought as he kept walking. 'But they must be very strong for a powerful mage to die in the process. Wait! Was it that oldie? Is that why he seemed like a ghost to me?' 'And Clark said that the third years handle grade three dungeons. How strong are grade three dungeons though? I wonder what level of beasts are there, maybe I can handle them. But… I have to learn creation magic perfectly for that. And also increase my affinity points.' he thought. Finally, they got to the class and could see Von in his usual meditative position and it felt like he was cultivating his mana core. But when the whole class was filled, he stood up and made a clapping sound drawing attention to himself. "Good morning you all!" Von said. "Good morning sir." They all replied at once. "Before we go into the main topic for today, let's start with warm ups for thirty minutes straight so first of, create a ball of whatever elements you use or pure mana above your hand. The goal is to get better and faster so there won't be any delay in your casting." Von said and the students did as they were told. Some managed to cast the balls in five seconds, some four but Grey did in just a split second wowing Von who was very impressed while Greg got angry and began cancelling and casting again trying to beat Grey's record but at the end of the day, he began to fill tired. "Next on our list is creating the small shapes we all did yesterday. The faster and perfect you create the shapes, the better so get started because some of you took about two minutes before creating the shapes I told you to create yesterday. So let's get better and faster at casting the shapes." Von said and everybody got to work. Since Grey knew how to create a wind blade already at immense speed, he just went to the corner of the room and leaned on a wall observing the students as some of them had forgotten the feel of the creation they did the day before and had to start again. While others managed to reduce their casting time by half but the elemental users were much faster in their casting. Well not as fast as the monster of the class who was still observing as some did incomplete creations at times. And after thirty minutes, they all managed to reduce their creation casting time to half. "Amazing! You all are fast learners and are pretty good." Von said. 'Even though you are all bad at first. The most impressive of them all are the elemental users, the rest are kind of bad. I wonder if they would be able to take their creation magic to the next level.' Von thought but he allowed his expression stay the same. "So now! Today we will be focusing on complex creations. What are the complex creations I'm talking about? Something like this." Von said and his flammy snake appeared again in front of the whole class. 'Interesting! I finally get the gist of how he created this snake.' Grey thought with a smile. Snapping his fingers, the snake disappeared. "Now I want every single one of you to create something living. My advice to you is to start slow and steady. Don't go ahead trying to create something so big and you end up being disappointed at the end at the result." Von said. "I won't dictate what you should create, I want you all to let your imagination run wild on its own. But for this exercise, I will only give you thirty minutes max to create something alive and complete. And your time starts now!" He said and then he went back to his meditative position while letting the students figure out what they wanted to create. Grey didn't bother to create anything, he just stood in his leaning position observing the students. The first to start was Greg as lightning began crackling around him and then slowly, in a minute, he managed to create a bird covered in lightning. 'I guess I one up that arrogant peasant huh.' Greg smiled as he had finished creating his lightning bird and everybody stood around it amazed. The bird was like a small pigeon of some kind but was covered in lightning all around as it stayed above the ground beside Greg flapping its lightning wings. "Tch! Show off." Scarlet said and then concentrating hard, something began forming on her shoulders it began with a tail and then began forming a body but when it was about to get to the neck, it dissipated. "Haha! What a weakling! You along with your weak best friend are a disgrace to nobles!" Greg said as his small birdie was flapping around while small specks of sweat was beginning to form on his face. "I will show you!" Scarlet said as she concentrated hard again determined to shut Greg up and slowly, within two minutes of intense concentration, her creation was finally complete as a small creature that was as big as a grown dog lay on her shoulders. It looked like a small dragon with steam pouring out of its nostrils while it wings and whole body was covered in fire and Greg had his mouth agape. "How… how… how is this possible?" Grey asked in surprise and then his bird disappeared from view seemingly because his mana was starting to take a hit. "Because I'm stronger than you! And this is for you mocking Vince!" Scarlet said and the small dragon opened up its maws breathing out fire towards Greg who swiftly used his lightning magic to jump away avoiding it. While the fire crashed into the ground scorching it badly while throwing small drops of fire everywhere. 'Impressive! She is able to create something so complex although it took her a while and she is able to make it attack so soon?!' Grey thought as he observed everything going on. 'I won't be left behind!' Vanica thought as she moved away to the corner of the room. 'Yesterday, I was only able to create a wisp but today…' she thought and then within three minutes, a bird made of soft glowing light appeared as it began flapping and moving around her. 'I… I did it! I actually did!' Seeing the nobles and few commoners doing amazing things, the rest of the class began creating their living creations ranging from small birds to reptiles like animals like snakes. Vince after ten minutes of struggle, managed to create a porcupine with shato metallic quills all around its body. When he successfully created it, he was seen jumping around the room in excitement but after a few seconds, the porcupine disappeared but he was not in the least dissappointed as the feeling of victory overcomed it. In twenty minutes, the whole class finally succeeded in creating something amazing and managed to surpass their limits that they didn't know they could even surpass all except one who still leaned against the wall. 'Hmm. So the creation would disappear when too much mana has been inputted in it. Either it disappears or it comes out incomplete. No wait! It only disappears when the creator has lost concentration and can no longer powe it. I noticed the amount of mana Von put into his snake to make it perfect. Thanks to sensing mana, I'm able to know the amount of mana I should input in things. I guess my training in the elf world really paid off.' he thought with a chuckle. Von was seen standing up with a wide smile on his face as he applauded the class. "I'm totally blown away by how quick you all managed to create complex creations! That was totally amazing. The only person I'm dissappointed in is…" Von said as he glanced towards Grey while Greg smiled. "I expected a lot from you. Even if you couldn't create anything, you should have at least made an effort to try." "Who says I can't create anything?" Grey asked as he stood upright from his leaning position and walked towards the centre of the class. "No need to act all mighty and haughty, we all know that you can't." Scarlet said. "Exactly! He is only good with destructive powers and combat wise. Imagination wise, he is weaker than even the most useless and weak trash here." Greg said. "I don't need a bunch of weaklings and arrogant kids telling me what I can and can't do." Grey replied. "Well prove it." Greg's friend; the water mage said. "Show us you can do this. Create a small bird and shut us up in the process." "You want me to shut you up? Fine! As you wish." Grey said and then walked forward a bit and immediately, a tremendous gust of wind erupted pushing everything and everybody back away from Grey leaving an open space all around him. 'What intense amount of wind magic! How strong is this guy? Can he really do it?' Von thought and then he saw Grey lift his two fingers up. "Wind creation magic!" He called out and the wind surrounded his side and began taking a shape. In the blink of an eye, a colossal bird materialized, its vast wings casting a shadow over the entire class. Its wind-forged feathers shimmered with an emerald glow, each flap sending powerful gusts rippling through the room with its wide wings. Looking at the bird, it could house about a dozen people on it comfortably. Everybody seeing this, had their mouths agape as even Greg caught himself swallowing a huge lump of saliva hard. 'It… it took all my efforts and mana to create a small bird in a minute, and this peasant managed to create something bigger than mine in a second? How?!' Greg thought. 'Who is this kid? Even I will struggle against creating this huge construct in a second and he just did that?!' Von thought as a small bead of sweat formed on his face. "Greg right?! I guess I shut your mouth up huh?" Grey chuckled as he snapped his fingers and the bird flapped its wings sending two wind blades flying towards Greg at immense speed. 'He can even make it attack so fast?! It takes about three seconds for my snake to send an attack! Wait shit! That student won't be able to block that!' Von thought as flames erupted around his hands and in a flash, he shot three fireballs at it breaking the wind blades in time from hitting Greg mere inches from his face.

With a snap of his fingers, the bird disappeared and Grey was seen standing in the room with his hands in his pockets without even showing any sign of fatigue from creating something so big. 'I…I… I can't believe that a peasant can make me so speechless.' Scarlet thought as she felt her heart thump in fear. "What was that for? What if you had hit him?" Von shouted in anger as he had been worried that he might not be able to save Greg in time. "I knew that you would be able to save him. After all, for me to listen to your teachings, means that you have a good level of strength." Grey said and then the bell rang loudly. Without waiting for anything, he swiftly exited the class leaving everybody hanging with their mouths agape. 'A monster has appeared in this academy! I wonder if he can best that demon of a student in the third year!' Von thought with a slight sweat dripping down his head thinking about Grey and the 'demonic' third year.
