2024-10-29 19:42:56"So you are one of the reasons that I have been stuck in a rut all this time?"
Rex said angrily to the voice clenching his fist as he works to a more secluded area of the library so nobody was with him while he was having a conversation seemingly with himself.
"Do you know how many enchantments that people in my own year have probably learnt huh ?"
He asked them with his stern voice as he raked his fingers through his hair.
"About 4 to 5 ..."
The voice said almost not currently and the young man rested his back against the wall taking a deep breath as he held up all of his fingers.
"In an entire year, I've only learnt one enchantment ..."
"That's absolutely true."
"I became the laughingstock of my entire school."
"That is also correct."
Rex felt like he was going to explode in the next second but he took some deep breaths trying to calm himself down.
"So this is just how your system works ... who cares that I had to go through all of this?"
He pulled out one of the chairs that had been arranged for the students to sit and read in the library, looking around to make sure that nobody was coming to his side. He started speaking with the voice again."you really don't feel anything, after all, I've been through?"
the voice was silent for a while not saying anything to him and then it came back.
" I would advise that you asked more objective questions like which enchantment you want to learn next I can make it so that you will learn an enchantment 100 times faster than those who are supposed to be at the same level as you"
The young man was startled and stared into space for some time thinking about it 100 times faster. That was incredible so it was a system that made him able to learn so fast?
"wait can't I just learn 2 enchantments together instead of just one then you can split it maybe 50 50 an-"
"You should know that's not how the system works... you can only be allowed to learn one enchantment at a time, nothing more than that."
Rex was downcast at the moment when he heard that it seemed that there was no negotiating with the voice and it just said whatever it wanted to, crossing his fingers together with a heavy sigh he at least admitted it was good that He could learn another enchantment, maybe if he had at least two enchantments people would no longer call him fireball freak."Alright then since you want to be that way." he said to the voice "... then I'll accept your terms as long as it makes me stronger."
"That I can assure you," the voice said confidently then it asked him.
" what new enchantment do you want to learn next ..?."
Rex rubbed his chin thoughtfully wondering which one he wanted to learn next he had actually fallen into thoughts that he will only be able to use the fireball enchantments for the rest of his life so being given the opportunity to learn one put him a bit of balance.
But luckily for him, he was in a library and he could research which enchantment will be most beneficial to him at the moment, so he went to one of the shelves pulled out books on enchantment and study and he quickly began scanning through the books after a while he concluded that his best choice could only be one.
"Water!" he said to the voice confidently "I want to learn the water enchantment, particularly the water skills."
The voice was once a pain quiet for a moment before it was responded to by Rex.
"Are you sure about that? water?"
Rex scratched his head a little bit, then he began to lean back a little on his chair.
"According to the books here water is the best complimentary enchantment to fire, and with it, I'll be able to trap my agile enemies,"
"So it's with water then? are you sure that you don't want to change your mind?"
"Do you have something against the water enchantment?"
he finally asked the voice.
"I don't have anything against it, my opinion is unessential however once I start processing that enchantment you will not be able to learn another one ..."
Hearing that was still very unpalatable to the young student, but then it was better than nothing.
"I'm sure about the water enchantment ...."
"Alright, then processing water enchantment," said the voice.
After a while, the voice said again.
"Water enchantment is being processed into the system at its lowest level..."
Rex looked at his palms and tried to gather energy once again but it was not working. His heart began to race as he tried it once more but nothing happened.
"what happened? I'm trying to use my fire enchantment but it's not working..."
he said to the voice and it's a monotone tone, it replied back to him.
"That is true your enchantment for fire is no longer working for the moment, that is because the 14'' water is still being processed and using energy now will cause a malfunction..."
"But I haven't lost my ability?"
Rex asked the voice calmly even though he was panicking inside, and the voice told him that he was still capable of using his enchantments then after a few minutes the voice said to him.
"Water enchantments fully processed, you may begin levelling up the skill."
the excitement that was bubbling up in the young student was so much that his fingers began to tremble as he stood up from the chair and began to walk out of the library, the few students that were there who saw him either giggled or looked away but you did not pay attention to any of them.
He needed to make sure that this was actually real, if it was then it changed everything and the university would never see it coming.

Rex was going to practice his new enchantment but then he saw some students in his year going into another hall it seemed like a professor had scheduled a sudden class probably one that goes behind in the curriculum for that year and of course, nobody told him because they would rather see him kicked out of school than attending his classes.The moment he walked into class tongues had already started wagging, I knew they were talking about him again. The voice had given him a chance to become even more laughable than before, but he told himself to be patient and in a few moments he will be showing them his new enchantment.A smile immediately wrapped around his face as he got to a seat that immediately became empty the moment he slipped into it.In a few moments, the professor walked in, and the lanky bearded male scanned the class with a scrutinizing gaze."I'm sure that some of you are very unhappy about this sudden class, but please if you have something else to do then you should

The next morning, he woke up with a wide smile on his face, to the point that it seemed as if he was trying to touch his ears with the corner of his lips. His roommates were particularly curious about what had gotten him so cheerful that early in the morning when he had practically stumped into the room the evening before, complaining about a class that had been scheduled out of the blue. But since he was an outcast in the room there was no one that was going to ask him why he was so cheerful that morning, so they did the usual off taunting him, but he did not even spare them a single glance and just got ready for his first lecture that day. The person that will be teaching them that morning was the same professor that had embarrassed him the day before, this left his roommates even more confused as to why he was excited about that. but Rex was not able to make it to the class before he noticed that some people were following him from behind. When he stood waiting for them to pass,

The news that the wonder student of the first year had learnt another spell spread across the entire university like wildfire and for the first time in over a year people were talking about him but not in a gossiping manner. For the next few days, Rex was relieved because nobody came to bother him or bully him as before, and it was nice walking along the halls without having the fear of someone setting out their leg for him to fall, or going to his seat to find little pins scatter around it as a way of booby-trapping it for him. This was because all of his bullies were cowards who were actually just jealous of his gifts and so now that you have learnt a new enchantment and had executed it so nicely for his first try they were afraid that he would continue unlocking more enchantments. but as the days passed they watched him like vultures that wanted to swoop in on a corpse waiting for him to pull out another out and enchantment but then they realize that that was not happening any

The bullies were surprised to approach them in the hallway and they were almost tempted to rub their eyes to make sure that they were not seeing an illusion because if they weren't they would not understand why she was so furious as she was marching towards them."Lyra?" one of the bullies called her name when she was finally in front of them, Lyra was the second most popular student in her first year and after that, but unlike Rex, she remained popular on a positive note because she excelled in all her classes though she was not as advanced as Rex was with his fire skill she was one of the leading students in his year.She had never once looked his way before Rex thought in his mind as she walked towards them."Don't you guys ever get tired of picking on Rex, he didn't even do anything to you!"she said to the bullies as she whipped back her brown hair that had golden highlights."Come on, Lyra, are you sure that you saw us right?"said the only girl among the bullies who had always

After he made a bet with the bullies that became the new hot topic at the University of Jared, everyone was talking about it eventually it got to the ears of the professors and then one professor took a particular interest in it, a lanky disciplinarian had graduated from the University for over three decades as the best of his year.So he summoned both of the boys to his office because he wanted to make some things clear."A wizard's word is not to be taken lightly..."he said to both of them."... and in this university, we did not only teach you how to hone your powers, but how to become responsible members of society that can handle this power... and responsible people do not lie or go back on their word..."The reason for his long speech was actually that he wanted to get involved in the bet. He had been one of the professors that had been most disappointed when Rex stopped developing.He had hoped that he would be the student that would finally break his record, so after hearing

As soon as both of them walk into the library together eyes were already being targeted at them and Rex casually looked at Lyra to see her reaction to all of this she was just walking beside him as if she did not notice the people that were staring at them and even whispering too.He could already guess what they were thinking, what was the most popular girl in the entire University doing with the biggest loser. She decided that she was going to leave eventually the moment she saw her people were going to be treating her differently so he did not have to worry himself too much about lecturing her."I've noticed you are coming often to the library these days... rather than the training hall..."she said to him as he was casually relaxing in his seat, initially, he wanted to ask how she knew his daily routine but then he waved it off and just decided to focus on studying there was no way he could get 100 gold bars so he had to pass this exam."Rex it seems that you are a very quiet pers

The professor was surprised to see Lyra sitting next to work, but he did not make any comments about it and just went home with the important announcement that he had come to tell them in the first place. "The exams have been adjusted by the higher council of wizards that run this University which I am also a member of I must note..." Rex began to feel his breathing becoming regular but he maintained a straight face because you could sense that the girl sitting next to him was staring at him intensely as if she was trying to shoot a hole through his head then his eyes remained on the professor as the man said that the decision to adjust the exams had gone through a lot of thorough examination and had been seen as the best decision. "There is going to be a group section of the exam, so if you do well in your other classes but then you fail in the group work it is seen as an overall failure..." As soon as the professor said this the entire hall was taken over by every morning as the

After both he and the girl collided with each other Rex saw stars for a few seconds before his bearings finally came back to him and then he got up he saw that the girl was still struggling to get up as well and so he held his hand with an apology."Sorry, I didn't see you there..."Immediately his hand was slapped away after you made that comment and she glared at him with eyes burning like freshly lit flames."What do you mean you can't see me? Am I some kind of mushroom that is so tiny that it is impossible for you to see me?"After she made that comment he took a closer look at her physique and you tried not to laugh when how small she was someone would have easily confused her for a child that was crossing 15 or 14 but if she was in the university she was bound to be older than that as there was a certain age restriction for entrance into the magical University."I didn't mean it like tha-""Rex doesn't mind her, that's just how she is and I could clearly see that she was the one

Then she began to sob and then Lyra placed a comforting hand on her shoulder even though she felt like crying herself Rex could not be here to see his friends like this all know that one of them was gone so he turned to the Head wizard and asked if there was any way he could give them Crystal's location. He looked pensive about this for a moment for when he saw how dismayed his niece was he finally gave them the information that they were looking for and even prepared a carriage for them along with a letter that would permit them to miss class

"Pathetic, and you call yourself a noble!" This was something that Miranda had gotten used to being told every single day of her life from the moment that she had been born that she was a failure that would one day disgrace the family and she was pathetic. All these things that they her she swallowed like a sponge and I've solved it into her life so before she would even make an attempt at learning anything the first thing that would come to her mind was; failure. She tried to hide it by talking loud and acting as if it didn't affect her even though she would immediately talk about how she was sure somebody was looking down on her. On the night before her departure to the magical Jerard University, her father called her into his study and then he briefed her on a lot of things one particularly stood out."I'm taking you to a Uni, where even someone as pathetic and useless as yourself cannot fail…high scores are practically dished out to nobles, the only thing that you have to do

"Thank you," she said, not even slightly higher than a whisper before she carefully shipped it as if she was testing it for poison, then she placed it on her lap and became as still as a statue once again before she had been given the cup of water.She has been acting like this ever since she heard the news."It doesn't make any sense …" she finally managed to say after some more seconds of silence as if she had been thinking deeply about what next to say and that was all she could come up with as she robbed t

"Have you eaten today?" Those were the first words that she ever said to him and the first time they had ever been that close he used to see her before in places around campus surrounded by a couple of friends. Sometimes they were more, sometimes to be less but each time she spent on them like there was no tomorrow.The questions that came from her lips were so peculiar, that he had to lift his head and look her up in the eyes when normally he would have just kept his eyes planted on his book without even sparing high class since he was just that unenthusiastic about people."I'm sorry what?"She placed her hands on her hips and repeated her question as if there was nothing out of place for one stranger to ask another if they had eaten."I don't see how that's your business"Crystal never got the chance to complete that blunt sentence before his stomach growled loudly in the lecture Hall but luckily for him most

Crystal paused for a few breaths as he was climbing up the stairs that would later lead to the hallway that would further lead into the head wizard's office. "What kind of trouble has that girl gotten into now?" He mumbled under his breath as he kept walking faster and faster even though his body was really against it he remembered the words of the healer wizard that had treated him. "You have a very weak constituency …" the healer wizard, who was even blunter than he deadpanned, the healer wizards were known as the most unsympathetic type which was kind of ironic because their job was mostly treating others that had been injured. But then again it fits perfectly for the job because they are passiveness to many emotions such as empathy made it easier for them to function in their job without constantly breaking down or worrying much, however, this was still an ethic of their work that made people very reluctant to go towards them because of how emotionless they were.

Two days flew by in the blink of an eye the only thing that made me feel drugged was the fact that Miranda and Crystal had not settled their issues rather they are the most even sat down to table the fact that they had issues at all and so the chances of them even having to talk about not settling the issues had not even come yet. In the meantime, crystal seem to be isolating himself from the entire group altogether and then there was Miranda trying to love-bomb them from the way things appeared, she would buy them all sorts of lavish gifts as if she was trying to burn out her entire allowance before the session would even end and most of the time they had to return the gifts or at least try to. Her response to this was to squint her eyes cross her hands and then glare at them as if she was waiting for the fire to burst out of those eyes."Where are both of you being so fussy it's just a couple of gifts, the polite thing would be to accept them and just say thank you."

A clash between Miranda and Crystal was not something that the group had ever really expected to happen, even though Crystal was naturally blunt to everyone including Miranda, there was a special kind of patience that you have for all the members of his team, especially Miranda.
