Ch. 25 'The Wizards'

"Phew. That's close." Shin Ha sighed.

Both of the men took Richard to the infirmary. When they were walking, they run into Scarlet.

"Hey, Edward isn't here. He was there earlier, but now he wasn't." Scarlet's sudden voice startled Shin Ha, who slightly forgot about her.

"I didn't realize you had gone to look for Edward." teased Shin Ha.

"You did not answer my question."

"Edward should be back where he was half an hour ago."

"Ah, right. I think Edward was in the sun building and walked towards our club's room. Then I'll wait for him there. Is he okay?"

"It seems like he spent a lot of energy just to be able to hold on in the frozen time." Shin Ha answered.

"With a short break, he will be fine. He is the fire Elementalist," added Kazuto.

"Alright, then. I leave him to you guys."

After making sure Scarlet was far from them, Shin Ha spoke in an exaggerated voice.

"Just because she's the only woman, she acts like our leader."

"Not only that. Just because she's the youngest, we always yield to her."

"Ah, that's right."

Both men chuckled each other.

When the time went back to normal, Niken and Karyn continued their studies in the hunting class.

The room was very dark there, so no one noticed that two people suddenly disappeared in their midst.

After the hunting lesson, Niken moved to a history class. She was a new kid in this place; hence she had to attend various kinds of additional lessons to catch up. One of them was the history class.

Aside from her, some kids were also new in this academy. Karyn was not here with her, so she needs to socialize with them alone.

The total of new kids in this place were four elementalists. One of them was a B-level wind Elementalist, while the other two were water elementalists in B-class and C-class.

Well, you could say Niken was the weakest amongst them, yet she didn't care. She already gets used to being a weakling amongst elementalists.

Today's lesson was quite intriguing.

She learned that hundreds of years ago, a Zeed nation was far more substantial and more powerful than the elementalists existed in this world.

They didn't use any elemental energy; instead, they used magic! They were called wizards. Unfortunately, this nation was almost extinct because of mass killings in the peak era of Zeed's reign.

Each wizard would show their magic circle before using their magic technique. Through these magic circles, everyone would know right away the wizard's magic level.

Niken also learned that there were seven levels of magic in each wizard. People could see these seven levels based on the color of the magic circles.

The weakest levels were red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. These seven colors were the characteristic colors of the rainbow.

Generally, in the land of Zeed, a three-year-old kid would show their magic talent with red-colored magic circles. Their magic power will increase as the child's physical condition grows.

Each color also had three different stages before leveling up to another color. For example, the lowest red magic circle will be a faded red color. That was the first stage.

The second stage would have a slightly darker red color. You could say it was pink; only it was darker. Then the third stage, which is the last one, was dark red like fresh blood.

The same way with other colors. Such as the stages of the yellow level was pale yellow as its first stage and then yellow like a banana. In the last stage, the color would be darker yellow like a sunset color.

The magic cultivation at the beginning level was very easy, as it will get more substantial along with the physical growth. It will stop growing when the young kid reached the age of ten. The magic circle would be in the last stage of the orange-colored.

If the kid had an exceptional background, the kid might have the first stage of yellow-colored. It depended on each physical' strength.

More than that, if a wizard wanted to be even stronger, he had to take a lot of training and experience using their magic. Because of this, red, orange, and yellow magic circles were widespread in Zeed's country.
