The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

On that afternoon, in the class Applications of Magic, the Auditorium was full of students for that class. Strangely, there were also students from the 2nd and the 3rd-years. While amongst the students of the 2nd years there were a lot of awkward or ashamed looks, on the 3rd students was easily visible some looks of defiance and some strange pride.

Teacher Fitz greeted the class and then he noticed the new students.

- Hello everyone...hum... Seems like there are a lot more students than last time. And I'm seeing students from the 2nd and 3rd-years? What are you doing here? This class is only for 1st-years.

- Teacher Fitz, we from the 3rd-years, heard that there was here a new teacher and that in the last class he taught some amazing things. So as students in this school, we demand having the right to attend this class!

- Oh, you demand... and you think that you have the right to make any kind of demands here, because...?

- You don't know that my father is a Marquess of this Kingdom? Do I need to tell my father that the 2nd and 3rd-years have a different treatment in this school?

- So, you demand to attend this class... I see... All of you demand the same? Or some of you want to ask for permission for attending this class?

- Didn't you hear what I said?

- I heard. Do you all demand that or some of you are asking for permission? The ones that want permission, go to that corner, please.

Upon hearing that, all the students of the 2nd-years started to gather at the place that Teacher Fitz pointed out. It seemed like they were just looking for an excuse to get away from those prideful and impolite 3rd-years students. In the meantime, the 3rd-years were arrogantly looking at them and at the Teacher, like if they were just annoyed by that delay.

- So? Now what?

- Seems that only the 3rd-years are demanding. All the 2nd-years understand that this is a 1st years class and if they want to attend they must ask for permission. But you guys think that you are in any kind of position of demanding something.

- I'm really going to tell my father! Let's see then if you still mock me!

- Oh, I'm not mocking anyone. I just think it's strange that you are demanding to be on a class for the 1st-year's students, with a teacher that only helps because he was asked to do so without getting paid.

- If he doesn't even get paid, that's his problem for being stupid!

The Royal Princess was looking and listening at all of this conversation, a little annoyed by the bad examples of some Noble sons and daughters of her Kingdom. She was quiet until one of them insulted Seya and the others just nodded in agreement. That was her limit. For years, they were protecting each other backs. She would never allow anyone to insult her dear Brother without doing anything about it!

- Enough! No one calls my Big Brother stupid in front of me! 'Scorching Earth!'

The Princess made again her enormous ball of Fire Magic above her head while raising her arm and she then threw it, to completely vaporize those students that were insulting Seya! That image of that gigantic ball being thrown made everyone scream and run for cover.

- Lookout!

Only the students targeted froze in fear, they would not survive if they got hit!

- What's that? Ahhhhh! Daddy!

While the 3rd-years were frozen and looking at the end of their lives, Seya acted instinctively. He raised his hand and he absorbed all that Magic into his Compressed Dimension and filled his Magic Crystals there.

- Princess, careful with that! I almost didn't have time to catch all of it!

- Who does he think he is? Let me have him Seya! I'm going to make a nice barbecue of that stupid brat!

The 3rd-year boy, son of a Marquess, shouted.

- What was that just now? And who is that crazy girl?

- What? Seya! Bring me his head!

- You just offended the Royal Princess. I'm really sorry, but you are going to die now.

Seya looked at the student with cold eyes while taking a sword out of his Compressed Dimension. That student knew immediately just by looking at Seya's eyes that he was looking at someone used to kill in extreme cases. And at that time, he was on the wrong side of that sword. He remembered hearing something about the Royal Princess but it was already too late for him to act.

Teacher Chris had to react fast, so he jumped and placed himself between Seya and his prey.

- Wait, Seya, stop! Put down that sword! Princess, please calm down!

- I can't Teacher, he insulted my dear little Princess. And she just asked for his head. I'll let you say your prayers for a moment.

The 3rd-year was frightened, hiding behind Teacher Chris.

- I didn't know who she was!

- And do you think that's an excuse? That just means that you would do the exact same thing to any other girl!

Princess Heiji shouted, very angry.

- Seya, instead of dirtying the floor with that brat blood, send him away along with all those next to him. If they are still with him, they probably think like him.

- Any idea to where?

- ...hum... Oh, what about that place in the Eternal Forest were we caught that huge wolf? I think there are more wolfs there! At least against them, they will have better chances of surviving than fighting you!

And Princess Arys suggested while smiling evilly.

- Or you could just send them to the Denar'an training grounds and have all of them do some mock battles. At least they will serve as practice. And when they get knocked down it's just a matter of using Healing Magic, right?

- Great idea, Princess Arys! ...||...Gateway open...|| ... Hello everyone! Sorry to intrude!

Hearing that, Seya opened a Gateway to the Denar'an Training ground. When the Gateway was complete, everyone could see on the other side a bunch of RabbitKind Warriors fighting with weapons or unarmed. Some of them were so fast on their movements that it was difficult to follow them. It was also visible some blood on the floor, meaning that they were not just playing with swords and spears, it was real.

- Master Seya! Hello!

The 3rd-year students were looking at that strange Magic door and to the scenery through it and they couldn't believe their eyes.

- I have here some disrespectful students, that insulted the Royal Princess Heiji Rohan and me and I need you guys to teach them a lesson.

- Of course, Master Seya! You want us to beat them up?

- No, not something so quick. I want you to use them as practice. Don't kill them, Ok? If they get knocked out, just heal them and continue. I'll come to get them tomorrow. So for the rest of this day and for all night, they are all yours!

- You can count on us, Master Seya! We'll put some senses on these kids!

- Thank you! Here they go.

Seya used Wind Magic to catch the 3rd year's students and he pushed them through the Gateway directly into that training ground, amongst all those RabbitKind Warriors. The students were just dumbfounded and too scared to even speak. To anywhere they looked, they could only see RabbitKind Warriors, looking at them very seriously!

- Goodbye! Have a nice training! …||...Gateway close...||…

Teacher Fitz was really amused by all that, he couldn't stop smiling.

- Well, that was fun! The guys from the 2nd-year come here. I think you have something to ask, right?

- Yes, Teacher Fitz. We heard from some students of the 1st-year that there was a new teacher for the class Applications of Magic so we wanted to ask if we could attend this class.

- And why were you together with those guys from the 3rd-years?

- Well, they kind of forced us to come with them, and with all of us, the teachers wouldn't dare to refuse. But we never agreed with that part!

- Ok, I don't actually mind but it doesn't depend on me. What do you say, Seya?

- That's ok with me. Politeness and respect take you everywhere.

- Ok, sit down then. Seya, I start and then you follow. So, yesterday we learned about Magic Control and we started training with it. To the new students, please ask some of the 1st years for guidance on that part. I'm sure that some of them also have written notes of what we learn in the last class. The Principal is not here today, he had to go to a meeting, so don't be surprised if later on, he asks some of you for written notes about this class.

A student of the Class 2-A quickly raised his hand.

- I'm sorry to interrupt, Teacher Fitz, but why would the Principal be interested in this class?

- Because he wants to learn, of course!

The students of the 2nd-year were just too surprised after hearing the Teacher saying that, but when they looked to the 1st-year's student, they saw them just nodding in agreement or smiling after those intriguing words from the Teacher.

- So, today, we are going to talk about Magic Crystals. I'm sure you all know that up until now, all the Crystals came from the mountains of the Dwarfs Kingdom. But because they are difficult to find, they are expensive. And also because of that, the selling of Magic Crystals is not an important business for the Dwarfs. Seya, care to continue?

- Yes, Teacher Fitz. For the new students, I'm Seya 'Taly' Denar'an Hinamoto. I'm also the new teacher in this class.

One of the students of the 2nd-year was looking around while questioning.

- What? Is this a joke?

- Careful, the last ones that insulted Seya were lectured by my father, the King!

- ... Well, Magic Crystals… It seems that up until now, no one discovered how the Crystals are made, correct? There are also some people suspecting that the Dwarfs use some strange Magic to make them.

Teacher Chris nodded his head in agreement.

- That's common knowledge.

- Well, it seems that on those mountains it used to be a volcano. So, my theory on this matter is if Crystals are found in the depths of the mountains, it could mean that there were rocks being created on top of other rocks. The pressure made by the weight of the rocks, heat from the volcano, Magic coming from the inside of the world, more pressure because of continuing forming rocks, all this is what created the Magic Crystals that the Dwarfs dig up.

The same student from Class 2-A raised his hand again.

- That's a pretty theory. But unfortunately, a lot of Magic Scholars already thought a lot about that matter and even they weren't able to prove anything!

- Yes, but they were not me... Here, grab this!

Seya threw something that he had on his hand. He had been fiddling with it for some time and the students were already thinking about what he had there. When Seya threw that thing, everyone could see it had a very strange and strong Blue color.

- Oops... What's this... this is a Magic Crystal? And you just threw it like that? Do you know the price of one Crystal this big?

- That's just an average size Crystal. If you only saw some of the Big Crystals that I have, you would really lose your mind!

- What?

- So, Rocks, pressure, heat, Magic. Those are the ingredients for the creation of a Magic Crystal.

The student of the 2nd-year was still doubting his own ears while looking at the Magic Crystal on his hands.

- That's impossible! It can't be that simple!

- But it is. Does anyone want to see a Magic Crystal being made right here?

With that simple question, the students made an uproar.

- ...?What?...

- And to prove that it's simple, I'm not the one that's going to make it, I'll call my assistants, ok? John, Myra, Hina, Zak, Princess Heiji and Princess Arys, come here, please.

His friends stood up and went to meet him while looking at each other intrigued by all that. What was Seya's idea? That guy was always making something weird all alone, why this time he wanted their help?

- So, John uses Light Magic, Hina uses Wind Magic, Zak uses Earth Magic and Princess Heiji Rohan uses Fire. Myra uses Water Magic, and I suppose Princess Arys, uses Dark, right?

- Of course, like all the Denara'ans.

- So, Group 1 will be Zak Earth, Hina Wind, Princess Heiji Rohan Fire, and John Light. Group 2 will be Teacher Chris Earth, Myra Water, Seya Fire, and Princess Arys Dark. We have here Earth to create rocks, pressure by Wind or Water, heat by Fire and Magic by Light or Dark. Now, let's make a Magic Crystal without chanting Ok?

Hina screamed in surprise.

- But Seya, we never did that!

Ryn joined her screams.

- I will never be able to do that, even if I practice all my life!

- Don't worry, it's the same as Control Training. I will guide you all, Ok?

Ryn calmed down a little, but still doubting about that crazy idea.

- Ok, I guess...

Following Seya's indications, Zak and Teacher Chris created two small rocks of the size of a marble and they surrounded those rock marble with more rock of the size of a ball. They gave one of those balls to Hina and one ball to Myra. The girls started to put pressure on each ball, using their Magic of Water or Wind. They increased the amount of pressure as much as Seya said them to use. They controlled that pressure and maintained it while Princess Heiji Rohan and Seya put some Fire Magic on the compressed balls. They increased the amount of Fire and hold it a little, just heating up the rock balls. While the balls were being heated, John placed Light Magic on one ball and Princess Arys placed Dark Magic on the other ball. Seya stopped the Fire and told everyone to stop also and to give the balls back to Hina and Myra. The girls started to slowly put more pressure on the balls until they cracked.

Crack!

Hyna shouted right after that sound.

- Oh, it broke!

- That's ok, just open those balls and search inside for a White Crystal and a Dark Crystal.

Myra slowly opened the cracked rock ball, and she grabbed that little glowing thing inside of it.

- I have one White. It's a Magic Crystal! A real Magic Crystal!

Hyna jumped around, holding above her head another Crystal.

- I have one Dark! A Magic Crystal! I made this?

- Any questions or did I prove my theory?

The students were talking all at the same time, they couldn't hold their excitement.

- ... ?What? …Are those … Really Magic Crystals?

- It was done right in front of you, any doubts about that?

Teacher Chris was holding the two Crystals, and then he passed to Hina. He was still amazed.

- That's... We made this?

- It's just a question of knowing how much pressure, heat and Magic to use. And to accomplish things like this, you just need to practice Magic Control.

Hina was holding the two Crystals, and she remembered!

- So that's why you told us that you had a bunch of Magic Crystals for free! You made them yourself!
