Chapter 53: Dark Seishin Class

Belle and the others went to their own room in the dormitories of the first-years because they don't have any elemental classes anymore. Only Kraftvoll was left in the classroom.

Since the seishin class of water was finished by 8 pm, there is no place to hang out anymore so Kraftvoll just waited in the classroom until the Dark seishin class started.

The schedule of the elemental classes Verrater Academy was like this because of the characteristics of some elements.

The light element was more powerful at dawn because it was when the day replaces the night. The main sources of the light seishin essence are from sunlight, moonlight, and starlight. Dawn was where all sources of light seishin power converge for a little while until sunlight swallowed the whole sky. Dawn brings more light seishin essences to the work than Dusk so they were doing classes at that time.

On the other hand, the Dark seishin essence was more powerful when the darkness enveloped the world completely. This was the reason why Dark seishin practitioners prefer dark places for cultivating with the Dark element.

On one hand, fire is more powerful during noon and the hour after it, which is the reason why Verrater Academy scheduled this class at noon. The heat was at its highest at noon, after all.

On the other hand, the elements of water were more powerful when the moon was in the sky. There was no explanation for this but they decided the time for the water seishin class based on this.

While the last two elements which were the elements of Wind and Earth didn't have any of these so the academy just scheduled them randomly.

Minutes before the Dark Seishin class started, Princess Kyomi entered the room.

'Oh, yes. She also has affinities to the Dark element. That's the main reason why Master is so proud of her and dotes on her so much.' Kraftvoll mumbled to himself.

"Kyomi, sit here with me!" shouted Kraftvoll to the human princess.

After hearing this, Princess Kyomi went to Kraftvoll's side and sat beside him.

A few minutes had passed and the teacher finally arrived in the classroom.

The man who had just entered the room was an elven man that looked like in his 40s. His faces looked so stern that it made everyone in the dark seishin class scared of him the moment they laid their eyes on him.

A moment later, he started speaking, "My name is Ardryll le Foix. I am one of the few teachers of the academy that teaches the way of cultivation of the Dark element."

"Dark seishin practitioners at the Holy Alliance were rare in comparison to the Dark Alliance who have plenty of them. But unlike them, the Holy Alliance has plenty of light seishin practitioners."

Teacher Ardryll's face started to get more serious as he discussed.

"Let's start discussing the basic parts of this class. Let's start about the characteristics of the Dark Elements."

As soon as everyone in the class heard the word characteristics, their faces suddenly worsen. This was immediately noticed by Teacher Ardryll.

"Yes. I know. I know. Your previous seishin elemental did this too, right? But this is the foundation of the elemental seishin cultivation. You cannot cultivate the seishin essence of particular an element without knowing about it. It just like walking around with a blindfold on your eyes."

"Okay, we strayed from our main topic. Let's get started. The Dark element represents the emotions of fear which was why the majority of the spells that the Holy Alliance knew about this element were all constricting or binding spells."

A moment later, Teacher Ardryll suddenly stopped talking.

When Kraftvoll and his other classmates in the dark seishin class took a closer look, they saw that their dark elemental teacher dozed off. After seeing this, the students in the class gazed at each other.

After a few seconds, Teacher Ardryll woke up from his drowse. "Did I fell asleep again?" Everyone in the class giggled a little.

The class will, later on, learn that Teacher Ardryll was famous for his sudden sleep in his classes. This man spends most of his time researching and cultivating dark seishin elements which were why he sometimes doze off in his classes.

The two hours passed very quickly. Teacher Ardryll discussed the characteristics of the Dark element during these hours.

Kraftvoll's first day was finished just like that. His academy days finally started.
