History of Magic Lesson

Approaching the audience for which my class was assigned, I could only sigh, hearing voices in it, I slowly opened the door, seeing that the door was opening, all the stufons fell silent, entering the audience, I looked around the audience was a large semicircular room in which two dozen desks, they went from top to bottom, thus the professor, being below, could observe the whole class.

Looking at the faces that were directed at me, I went to the back desks, if I sat on the front desk, the views of many stufons looked at my back.

And I could not concentrate on the topic of the lesson. The whole class was the elite of the first year, I could see that dark elf who looked at me thoughtfully, then turned away, next to her sat a light elf who took second place, I didn't remember their names, so I walked back without saying hello to anyone.

I could feel the appearance of nervousness and slight fear emanating from my classmates. Trying not to pay attention to their behavior, I began to look out the window.

After a while, voices were heard again but not as loud as before, not paying attention to those who turned to look at me, I continued to look at the early morning. After a couple of minutes, the professor came in, looking away from the window, I looked at the professor with interest, she was a person, which surprised me, not that people were less talented than other races, no, they could be on a par with other races in strength, but an in-depth understanding of magic was not a strong point of people.

The professor was short in stature with a thin figure, dressed in the uniform of teachers, she had brown hair hanging from her shoulders, her blue eyes, she was a calm stufon, and began to examine the professor in the course of the history of magic with interest. After waiting for the stufons to examine her, she coughed a couple of times and looked around the whole class.

- My name is Kay and I am a professor who will explain the history of magic to you, this subject is optional, but every student should know how and after what magic was born in our world. - I heard her calm but cold voice, one could understand that she is serious about this discipline.

- The origin and appearance of magic in our world is shrouded in uncertainty, there are different theories and assumptions about the appearance, the main two are that the ability to use magic was given to us by the gods, while the second suggests a variation of the fact that magic is a trace of previously living beings that we alive can feel and use. While saying this, Kei paused for a moment as she looked around the class.

- But like any theory, not one can be proved unless there is evidence in favor of one and the theories that we will analyze each race that inhabits our world has myths and legends. In legends, as in myths, there is a small part of the truth. At first, our ancestors did not understand what magic is and how to use it, some went along the path of destruction, someone tried to create and not destroy, and thus magic began to take different directions that influenced the world in the era of the appearance of magic, who can name the directions of magic who influenced? - Kay said as she looked around the class for those who wanted to demonstrate their knowledge.

Seeing that no one wanted to answer, a sigh escaped from Kei's mouth, like in other classes no one showed interest in the history of magic, everyone believed that the past would not help the present, especially the theory of how magic appeared.

- Well, since no one wants to demonstrate their knowledge for free, I suggest that everyone who correctly names the direction of magic that influenced the development of magic in general will receive one hundred currency for one correct answer, one hundred and fifty currency for two correct answers. - Having surrendered, Kay said, starting to look into the eyes of the stufons, she noticed interest and thirst in the currency.

Someone immediately appeared who wanted to demonstrate their knowledge about the appearance of magic, talking nonsense referring to some myths transmitted to him from the place where he lived, someone tried to cheat and reveal only part of the story. Watching them, I could only feel sorry for Professor Kay, she had to pay with a stufon to keep them interested in the subject. Like any representative of a noble family, I had an idea of ​​what branches magic was developing into, but I decided that demonstrating this knowledge would create even more questions for me, which I wanted to avoid at least for a while.

The lecture went as I expected, many stufons began to demonstrate their knowledge as representatives of the nobility after Professor Kay rewarded the first one who answered correctly.

They were all interested in earning currency and as time went by pretty quickly, I was able to learn new myths and legends from each race that were not available in the Cray empire. Some myths were possible and real, but most of them were nothing more than fiction.

Hearing the bell ring, Professor Kay said goodbye to everyone and left the classroom. I could hear a lot of people talking, I was expecting something like that since we'll be studying together for another five years if no one gets expelled. After sitting for a couple of minutes, I got up and headed for the exit, feeling the looks on my back, I could only shake my head. Leaving the audience, I headed down the corridor to the stairs and up to another audience where there should be a couple. Having risen to the floor, I could notice that it was more lively here and there, different stufons, professors were walking around.
