The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Teacher Fitz was shaking his head, in disbelief.

- Seya, sorry to interrupt. But saying something like that I think I can understand why Teacher Fil insulted you.

- If she was a member of the Church, what I just said could be an outrage. But for a Teacher, her reaction was too unreasonable. And even for a member of the Church, after the rest of my explanation, they would probably change their opinion. Like some of them already did when they learn with me about Magic Flow.

Hearing that, Teacher Chris nodded his head in agreement.

- Well, that's a fact. As a Teacher, we must guide and teach students but we must be open-minded to new situations and teachings!

- Now, about the Second Law, the reason why older Mages can use great amounts of Magic is just that they were able to increase their Control of Magic Flow every time they used Magic without even realizing it. But if someone practices Magic Control a little every day, you can increase the amount of Magic that you can use. The Princess over there started her training with me when she was 6 years old. Now, 5 years later she's able to defeat all of the Royal Mages on a 1vs1 battle and they are some of the stronger Mages in this Kingdom.

- They never gave me a proper challenge! Those weaklings! Ahahahah!

- Calling weaklings to someone as powerful as a Royal Mage! Eheheheh! Ok, moving on! Third Law, I agree that the Goddess gives you the Attributes but sometimes you can have the ability to use a low amount of another Attribute and you never realized.

Ryn was looking at her hands, wondering.

- Seya, are you saying that I could use other Attribute but because my ability for it is so low, I never realized it?

- That's right. Like John West there. Until a few days ago, he thought that he could only use Light Magic and Healing Magic. And actually, he can also use a little of Earth Magic. And then, the Fourth and Fifth Laws can also fall to the ground like all the other ones as long as you train and develop your Control of Magic Flow. Meaning, as long as you increase your Magic Control, you will be able to use Magic in different ways and more powerful than you thought it was possible.

Teacher Fitz was shaking his head, again.

- That's an amazing theory you got there but can you prove it? And how increasing the Control of Magic Flow allows anyone to do Magic without chanting?

- Very good questions. To the first, we have here already some people that are practicing Magic Control. And to the second question, because you increase your Control, you will easily come to understand even without want it, how to make Magic without chanting. You just need a correct visualization of what you want to make and Control the Magic you have, to create that visualization.

- But why until now every Scholars and Mages never thought about that?

- Because it's a slow and tedious process, Teacher. When having the option of using low Magic and with use over years reach a high amount to do more powerful Magic's, what does a person chooses? And that choice that I think it was made several hundred years ago, became the usual idea.

Teacher Fitz was still in doubt and raising one of his eyebrows.

- Well, that's easy to understand. Can you show how increasing your Magic Control makes you able to do powerful Magic's or use Magic without chanting?

- For that, I need the help of John West and Princess Heiji Rohan. Come here you too, please.

- Yes, Master!

- Stop with the Master and come here. John, for everyone to hear and understand, since when have you been practicing Magic Control?

- I started some days ago, but I do it for hours and hours.

- Ok, now, without chanting make a Rock ball, please.

- … here!

Teacher Chris was so surprised!

- That was quick! How did you do it?

John was very serious, explaining.

- Well, when I first started gathering Magic on my hand and controlling it without making anything, I had to maintain the Magic together without exploding. At first, it exploded a few times. But then I did what Seya told me, when I was about to lose the control, I tried to make a Rock ball. On the first two times that I made one of them, I didn't even realize that I didn't chant. I was too focused on not letting it explode and hurting myself! Now, I just need to gather Magic, control it and focusing on the shape of a Rock ball.

Seya was tapping John's back, congratulating him.

- Well, no one ever realized, not even John here, but this little guy has a fantastic ability concerning Control of Magic Flow. In a few years and with continuous training, he will be an amazing Mage. Another person could need a lot more time to do this Rock ball without chanting.

- … Thanks…

- So, with him, you all saw Magic without chanting done after training with Magic Control. And for the use of powerful Magic's... Princess hit me with everything you got!

- Prepare to die! Fire spread! Heat Blow! Fire shot! And my most amazing one, Scorching Earth!

The Princess immediately gathered her Magic and threw it against Seya in a continuous succession. Each Magic was more powerful than the previous one. The last one was an enormous ball of Fire Magic that filled the ceiling of the Auditorium. She made it appear above her head while raising her arm and she then threw it, like if she really wanted to vaporize Seya. That image of a gigantic ball being thrown made everyone hide under their chairs, they were all expecting a major explosion when that thing hit Seya!

- Lookout!

Seya just stood there, calmly waiting for each Magic attack to reach him. He then collected all that Magic and absorbed it to his Magic Crystals on the bracelets that he had on his wrists. When all of the Crystals were full, he put the exceeding Magic to his Compressed Dimension and absorbed it into the Crystals there.

- That was some amazing amount of Fire Magic, Princess! Better watch out with that last one, you can melt this entire building with that!

- Yeah, that was the Magic that I used to destroy my room tower. Powerful enough, right? Right?

- Scary would be a better word for it... and also the name!

Teacher Chris was not believing.

- What happened to all the Magic the Princess threw against you? And why are you unharmed?

- I just used my Control of Magic Flow to absorb Princess's Magic attacks. Now her Magic is mine. And I can keep it for myself or throwback at her. And I can do things like this because I've been practicing Magic Control since I was very little.

Ryn was staring Seya, imagining a young Seya practicing Magic all alone.

- That's amazing!

Teacher Chris was shaking his head, trying to wake up!

- That was... Just how often do you practice and for how long to achieve this?

- I'm always practicing except when I sleep. I'm practicing right now, actually.

- Can anyone learn that method that you used to stop Princess attacks?

- Maybe, or figure out a different method. That mostly depends on the amount of Magic that you can Control and the perfect visualization of what you want to do. I guess that John and Princess's examples serve as a demonstration for the class Applications of Magic, right?

A RabbitKind Student from the Class 1-C slowly stood up, timidly.

- Teacher Seya, can a BeastKind also increase his Magic Control? Or only humans can do it?

- Remember when I said that Magic comes from all living things? I think BeastKind are also alive, right? And my father is a RabbitKind Half-Breed. So I guess even if I'm not completely human, I can reach this level, right?

The RabbitKind student was smiling. That amazing new teacher was a RabbitKind like him?

- Teacher Seya is also a BeastKind? But you look human to me!

- Yeah, my grandmother was human and my father looks completely human. And since my mother is also human, I guess my BeastKind part is very low. But the RabbitKind Denar'an family that helped to raise me started training their Magic Control with my guidance and now they are on a frightening level!

- Yeah, a Half-Breed like you stopping my attacks, that's almost an insult!

- You need to practice more, my Princess.

Princess Heiji pointed to the place where Seya created the Gateway.

- I wonder what those guys that you sent to the Palace would say if they had found out earlier that you are a Half-Breed!

- I don't know and I don't really care. And now, does anyone here wants to learn how to practice Magic Control? Don't forget that you need to practice it at least a little every day.

All the students raised their arms, of course.

- Me! Me!

- Ok, John West, Princess Heiji, Myra Calcym, Ryn Mycym, Hina Motoama, and Zak Holstrem, come here, please. These 6 are already training their Magic Control with my guidance so they will be able to guide some of you.

Princess Heiji was standing next to Seya, with her hands on her waist, making a pose.

- Yeah, watch the amazing me! Ahahahahah!

- Now, I'm going to divide every one of you amongst us. The objective for today is everyone getting used to the feeling of having a small amount of Magic gathered in one hand, not creating anything and no chanting whatsoever. When you gather the Magic, keep it under control, don't let it disperse or increase because it can explode, as you all now. If any of you reaches an explosion point, one of us will tell you to stop. If in any case, an explosion is about to occur, I will immediately stop it. And if by some chance any Magic explode, don't worry, John West over here is already a professional at using is Healing Magic to heal the explosion damages.

John was rubbing his head, embarrassed.

- Yeah, I had a lot of practice on myself...

- Well, let's begin, shall we?

...

After some time, Seya made a hand signal for everyone to stop.

- Seems that everyone got the hang of it if we don't count the small explosions of the Teacher's and the Principal that gathered an enormous amount of Magic that almost killed all of us.

The Principal was smiling awkwardly.

- Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I lost Control of my Magic really quick, and when I tried to disperse it, I increased the Magic instead! That was a very stupid mistake!

- Well, no harm was done. Thanks to that, I was able to absorb a big amount of Magic. So, thank you, Principal! Heheheh!

The Principal gently tapped Seya in the back.

- That technique of absorbing another person's Magic is really something!

- I don't know if any of the Teachers wants to say something else or if we can end the class.

- I guess we can end here. Oh, don't forget to bring back the students that you sent away!

- In a moment I'll bring them. Don't forget everyone, try to practice this sometime, every day. In a few days, I'll let you increase the amount of Magic that you gather. Try to practice this near someone that uses Healing Magic. And never, but never, practice alone. Any question?

- No, Teacher!

- Let me just bring those guys here ...||… Gateway to the Palace ...||... my King, sorry to intrude again.

- Oh, Seya, those guys are there, still feeling ashamed of their behavior. You came to get them, right?

- Yes, my King. They lost a very interesting class that I will not repeat for them. If they want to know, maybe someone will tell them.

The student from class 1-B that previously was looking at Seya in a despising way, was now more humble.

- I truly apologize, Seya Hinamoto. My behavior was not fitting of a student of the Magic School.

- I doubt that you learn your lesson but for now, you and your friends can return. My King, I thank you for your understanding.

- Not a problem Seya. It was funny having those guys here feeling awkward and completely lost when the Royal Mages were scolding them!

- Goodbye for now, my King. …||...disperse Gateway...||... Well, they're back... If you guys want to know what happened, ask to the people here that were smarter than you all and didn't antagonize their new Teacher.

- I'm truly sorry Seya Hinamoto, please believe me.

- I don't believe you. What most worries me is that now you are feeling sorry because a lot of people told you guys about me. But at first, you were underestimating me and just being rude. That's not a very nice thing to do, especially to someone that, as the Teachers here told you, was asked to help everyone in here.

The group of students that were sent by Seya to the Palace was so ashamed that they couldn't even refute. He was right, they did underestimate him without even thinking! They could never imagine that they had the opportunity to learn with someone that the Royal Mages had so much consideration! Even the King told them that!

- You guys need to work very hard to make me change my opinion of you. Now, everyone, class dismissed.

- Thank you Teacher Seya!
