Third Lesson

"What you see before are Mr. Poe sword spell, Turbulent Slash. He creates this spell in accordance with his fighting style. His preferred weapon is big cleaver and to cover his weakness due to a slow movement of his big cleaver he creates this spell."

"And the spell that Mr. Poe uses is different with the spell you learn from Ms. Layla. One distinct difference and I'm pretty sure you already notice is; There's no need to create a rune to use it. You still need mana and rune but executed with a different method."

"You also need to create your own rune as your weapon mastery skill did not bestow you any rune, unlike magic related skill; And because of that you need to tread more carefully as there's no benchmark on how to do it."

At this point, Alice's and Kana's are pale due to what Mr. Hubert said. Alice's panicking when she heard she need to create her own rune and Kana has lost it since Mr. Hubert said you need to use mana. Other students are also furrowing their brows as this seems harder than the lesson before.

Casting a spell using a rune that the skill bestow is already hard enough for them; now you need to create one by yourself?

"Don't jump the gun and listen to me. Although I said create your own rune the rune that you need for this as so much simpler compared to the rune you use when doing the magic spell. If the rune is a picture you can said that weapon spell is like a 2D picture and the spell you learn from skill is a 3D picture."

"Now that you already see Mr. Poe demonstration I will explain how to execute your own spell. As this is your last lesson I believe you already familiar with controlling mana so I'll just skip right to it."

"First you need to create your own rune obviously as you can't cast a spell without a rune. Now to create one you need to create a scenario in your mind; What you want to do? How to do it? And all the factor behind it."

"For example, Mr. Poe spell is designed so he can create a wind blade transferring the momentum from his swing through the air cutting all in its path. To do that you need a massive amount of momentum that can cut even wind; you also need to factor in your weapon sharpness; your body stance; wind resistance and a lot more things to consider."

"Now that's some expert sh*t that you will learn later, for now, you'll learn on how to create a rune to strengthen your attack so it can be more effective. To do so you need to create a scenario in your mind. You need to carefully imagine how your body stance, the flow of your mana, your attacking movement, and also the result of your attack. After that flow your mana to your weapon and try to overlay it before executing the said move."

"Repeat the step until eventually, a rune would emerge on your subconscious by itself. The rune would empower your move set so it can be more effective. To use it instead of trying to overlay your weapon with your mana; try to draw the said rune in your weapon using your mana."

More than half of the class lost in space after the longwinded explanation Mr. Hubert gave us. Even James can't keep up with the complexity of the lesson; Kana survive it due to Anna helping her step by step while Alice is a lost cause and can only try her best not to sleep in the class.

Same as the class before Mr. Hubert gave us a chance to ask questions before we jump into the practical lesson; The students use the chance to ask him to clarify most things that they still confused about. It took almost 1 hour before the students finish nitpicking every single detail about weapon spell.

"Now, if you don't have any other question; as there is only limited amount of instructor so we will split you into a smaller group. Split into a group of 5 and each group will be overseen by 1 instructor. And try to get peoples who use the same weapon as you, please."

"What about mage and support class? Do we also need to participate in this?" Ask one of the support class students.

"You can be excluded from this lesson if you want to; But if you think this lesson wouldn't help you as you get your rune from the skill that you can't be more wrong. The rune that you get from your skill only can help you so much and in the end, you still need to create your own rune. This lesson would help you in modifying and creating rune later on so I suggest everyone to participate in it."

"Why do we need to be in the same group as people who use the same weapon as us? Can I just stuck with my group as we have a better understanding of each other." Ask other students

"Hey, hey, hey, this is training, not a battlefield. We split you so we can instruct you better, for example, people who use sword can get instruction from Mr. Poe and others who have different weapon can stick with a different instructor. Is that clear? Now chop-chop moves along."

Students start to moves across the room make a small group here and there after picking up their own weapon of choice from the weapon racks. A lot of students who uses sword look at Mr. Poe in hope of getting him as their instructor.

Even after splitting into a smaller group there are still one or two odd groups who have mismatched weapon mastery in their group. For example, I ended up with Kana, Alice, and James plus 1 other person who has orb as her weapon mastery.

James refuses to join another group who focus on weapon and shield mastery as he only has shield mastery and wants to focus on shield and spell instead of weapon and shield. Alice is an oddball who doesn't have any weapon mastery. While I'm the only person who uses instrument in this small class.
