Chapter 53: Hidden Potential

Everyone else in the class was still struggling to activate their magic.

Maybe it's cause I've already been used to using my mana to move the airship that it was pretty simple for me.

I was going to raise my hand but I stopped myself.

The slow life had effected me to an incredible amount.

Couple that with yesterdays tiring events, I did not feel like doing anything.

Placing my arms on top of my clothes and curling them upward so they would cover my arms, I fell asleep.

An Hour Later

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A GENIUS!!!"

"WE'VE GOT A GENIUS!!!"

"SOMEONE HAS MANAGED TO AWAKEN THEIR FIRST MAGIC ELEMENT!!!"

"IN ONLY ONE HOUR???"

Awakening to the shouts of the students, I was dumbfounded.

It took an hour to just feel one magic element?

Eh...

I don't know...

Maybe going to a magic academy wasn't the best idea.

Nevertheless, I turned my head to see who did it.

What do you know, It's good ol Ikari.

He may be a genius in others eyes, but to me, he is worse than the weakest thieves.

Nudging my shoulder to the one sitting next to me, I asked him for something.

<Hey can I borrow your book?>

"Yeah sure.."

He responded while not really concentrating on what I was saying.

<Thanks.>

I just bent down and picked up his book.

Starting to read it, I flipped through the pages.

So turns out that all you have to do is sequence the elements with a type of form.

For example if you wanted to use air, you could use something like this.

Air + [Wall]= Airwall.

It's like combining elements but with forms that you can create.

The forms can be either physical or mental.

Depending on which, the attack will be different.

If you would use a mental attack, it would be like this.

Snow + [Freezer]= Snowfroze.

This type of attack would attack the brain like how a brain freeze would happen albeit much stronger.

Flipping through the rest of the book, a smile crawled up my face.

Seems like magic was just incredibly simple.

I could make good use of my future knowledge for this...
