7 Elite
Seeing the glow, Char knew what was coming, it was an angel type creature's basic magic ability, Smite, it's very effective against undead and also usable to hurt a non-undead creature.
Char could actually summon his Skeleton to block the magic in time but it would not be able to do much, the skeleton would perish in an instant as smite was its natural counter.
Summoning the skeleton would not save him from getting hit by the magic, dodging also not an option, there was no way char Could dodge the magic.
"Kyuti, Stop, don't be hasty," a melodious voice could be heard from Aya as she stopped the cherub from attacking.
Once the cherub stopped trying to cast the magic, Aya turned back to Char who had his back on a tree, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Ah, Sorry I didn't mean to disturb you, I was just passing by and I saw a light from the library so I got curious," Char hurriedly tried to explain.
"Anyway, I will be going now," He said as Char picked himself from the ground while holding onto the tree and trying to walk away.
Char's body was sore all over from being hit by smite, it was no joke to be hit by such magic, he was lucky that nothing was broken when he got hit by it.
"Where do you think you are going? You haven't answered my question," Aya stopped Char from leaving as her right-hand glows yellow right in front of his face.
"Ugh... pardon me? What were you asking again?" Char asked as he staggered back a few steps to keep a safe distance from Aya's glowing hand.
"Who are you?" She asked with sharp eyes, as a noble it was not uncommon there were people aiming for their life and sending people to kidnap or assassinate them, it made Aya very wary of Char.
Honestly, if Char was not wearing the academy uniform then she would not hold back her punch and directly blast him with Smite.
"I'm Char, you might have heard about me before," he answered while trying to calm her down.
Aya lowered her glowing hand and looked at him in confusion, "You are Char? Char the genius who summoned a skeleton?" she asked him in confirmation.
The question was like a knife stabbing into Char's heart, to hear others refer to him as the genius who summoned a skeleton was humiliating at best.
He coughs to clear his throat, "Ehem... Yes, I am Char the academy's genius, it's nice to meet you miss, may I know your name?" He acts politely while hiding that he already knows who she was.
"You may not," She answered while turning her back on him, "Don't tell anyone what you saw just now, if you tell anyone then you are dead," she said without looking at him.
Char took the chance to get away from her as he did not want anything to do with her, "Tsk... these nobles are always so stuck up just because they have a better background," Char thought.
The positive image he just got from the girl got crossed right away, on top of being violent, Char looked at Aya as a typical noble who looked down on others.
Rather than going back to his dorm, Char made a quick stop in another training yard, his body was aching badly that he did not mind sitting on the ground.
Char summoned the skeleton and commanded it to use the bone and flesh regeneration magic, of course, he told it to cast it on itself because it never did it before and it would be horrible if something went wrong while casting it on himself.
As he expected. The skeleton explodes the first time it tries to use the magic, but this time it only loses some part of its body.
If the skeleton was not undead then it would have died from it, but because it was undead, it could continue to try until no bone was left.
It took Char to summon it three times only before it gets the hang of it, it could use the magic without a hitch.
Char dismissed the skeleton and tried to use the magic by himself, one of the perks of being a summoner was he could use the summoned creature magic as proficient as his summoned creature was.
He activated the magic without a hitch, he could feel muscle and bone move to their rightful places and the aching on his body suddenly disappeared.
"Well that was nice," he thought as he became as good as new, his injuries were not fatal so he could heal in a short amount of time.
"Now I should get back," he thought as he walks toward the dorm, he passes by the library again but Char decides to ignore it.
The light was still on so he guessed that Aya was still inside, "Aya Angelwing just you wait, I will surpass you one day, I don't care if you are an elite or being taught by an elite teacher, I was better than you so I could be once more," he thought resolutely as he went back.
Char decides to work even harder than before if an elite like Aya works so hard that she still studies even late at night, Char who waves a skeleton as his summon would need to work ten times harder to surpass her.
After thinking that way, Char stopped his feet from going back, he summoned the skeleton one more.
"Bone, you go train by yourself, don't stop training, perfect your control over physical resistance magic and regeneration magic, don't let yourself die, and don't hurt anyone," He commanded the skeleton.
Char knew it was impossible for him to work ten times as hard as Aya as he would get tired and need to study, but Bone was different, It was a skeleton, it could not get tired nor need sleep like a normal creature."
Char could command it to train day and night without end, even if it could not do muscle training as it had none, Char could command it to train with magic, with bone regeneration, as long as it did not get blown up to dust, it could just heal itself and continue training.
"Ahahaha... This is what differentiates a genius like me and the other, Genius would make even a skeleton useful!!" he stroke his pride.
As a former number one in the academy, Char was quite focused on the elite class, he wanted to prove that he was better than them.
After commanding the skeleton to train and making sure it would not bring trouble to him, Char went back to his dorm to rest while his skeleton worked ten times harder than any other summoned creature.
The next morning, Char could feel his mastery over his two magic had reached another level, being able to use magic and mastering it were two different things.
To master a magic ability, a magician or creature needs to train over and over again, hoping to gain a higher understanding of things.
Char picked up a fruit knife from his drawer and cast physical resistance on his body, he could feel like his body was covered by invisible skin.
He raised the knife and tried to cut his arm with the knife, the result was quite great, it could cut him and draw blood, but it could not go deeper than a millimeter even if Char used his everything.
"Oh this is quite good, next time I meet that devil of cherub I would not be beaten so easily," he grinned in expectation.
With another thought, Char activates the regeneration magic which closes the wound in seconds, "Hoho... If this goes on then I might be able to reach immortality," he joked to himself.
Char hurriedly got ready for class before he went to look for his summoned creature when he found it near where he left it before, Char found a lot of students were looking at it in amusement.
Bone was climbing a tall tree and when it reaches the peak, it jumps down, when it gets to the ground, its body gets broken all over, but in a few seconds the bones mend back together and it becomes as good as new.
The skeleton about to climb the tree again before Char stopped it, others looked at it and laughed at its stupidity that it embarrassed Char.
"Stop, that's enough, let's go," He called the skeleton who stopped right away and went with him as if it had been waiting for it since forever.
"Next time I should tell it to train somewhere without people, its training methods are so embarrassing," Char thought as he wanted to hide his face.
Char gets to his class to be greeted by Bob and his lackeys, "Hi there genius, are you ready to be humiliated today?" they taunted him.
"Haha... as if, let's see who is going to be humiliated today," Char thought but he did not let it out as to give the three of them a surprise.
