Expectation
After receiving their skill holograms, Professor Powell instructed the students to review their scrolls, ensuring they grasped the fundamental concepts before he provided further explanation.
As per his instruction, all students activated their assigned holograms, as detailed diagrams and explanations flickered into view before them.
Each hologram contained a mana circulation map, illustrating how to activate the 360° View technique assigned to them and while the foundational concept was the same, the specific functionality of the move varied depending on the grade of the skill.
For the majority of the class—those assigned the technique 'Peripheral Vision'—the skill functioned as a passive sonar.
It alerted them to movement in their blind spots at all times, but without providing a clear image. It was like having an internal radar constantly pinging disturbances behind them, but without precise details.
