Chapter 439 That Was Brilliant Arch
Archer watched Jade turn to the chalkboard behind her, where she began writing a basic spell which he recognized to be Mana Blast.
“The essence of every spell lies in the quality of your incantations and the amount of mana at your disposal. We employ chanting, runes, glyphs, and wards as means to harness and direct our mana.”
She gestured toward the board, explaining, “Allow me to provide an example: the fundamental Mana Blast spell. When you chant and channel your intent, you can conjure and unleash a burst of mana.”
Jade’s voice brimmed with enthusiasm as she continued, “Keep in mind, the core of effective spellcasting lies in unwavering concentration, understanding of the spell, and your connection to the world’s mana. With practice, your spells will grow in potency and so will your mana capacity.”
She continued her lecture, explaining the intricacies of spellcasting. After a thorough explanation of the Mana Blast spell on the chalkboard, she set a challenge for the class.
“Now, to apply what you’ve learned, I want each of you to practice the spell. The first one to successfully cast the spell when we go to the training ground will be rewarded with a prize.”
The students promptly began their attempts to cast Mana Blast. They chanted the incantation, sketched the required glyphs, and channeled their mana to generate a focused blast of magical energy.
As the class worked on the task, he raised his hand. Jade, with her characteristic sweet smile, turned her attention to him. “Yes, Archer?”
“May I learn a different spell, Professor? I’m already familiar with the Mana Blast, and I have many difficult spells with me.” He asked with a smile.
Jade, impressed by his enthusiasm for learning, nodded in agreement. “Of course. Your passion for magic is commendable. Feel free to choose another spell to study.”
When she walked off he pulled out one of the spellbooks he got from the shop he bought Shadow Shroud from.
He looked at it and read the title. ”Shadowspawn.”
This caught his attention and wanted to learn the spell to see what it could do so he started reading as the other students went quiet.
Archer turned his head to the girls and saw them engrossed in their spellbooks like he was doing.
After a little while he still wasn’t done learning it but was close when Jade spoke, her voice carrying a sense of anticipation.
“You’ve had ample time to acquaint yourselves with the Mana Blast spell. Now, it’s time to put your newfound knowledge to the test. We will head to the spellcasting training field where you will demonstrate your abilities.”
A wave of excitement washed over the students, and a collective buzz of anticipation filled the room.
With a smile, Jade gestured toward the door. “Follow me to the training field, and remember to focus and control your mana with precision when casting the spell.”
The students promptly rose from their seats, the spellbooks in hand, and began to file out of the classroom. .𝘤𝘰
Each one was eager to display their magical prowess under the guidance of their skilled professor and try to gain her favor.
Bringing up the rear, Archer, Hemera, Leira, Nala, and Lioran followed the group as they moved through the college corridors.
Archer couldn’t help but admire the grandeur of the College of Magic, taking in the impressive architecture and well-kept surroundings.
There were tapestries all over the place and paintings of famous students or professors who once studied or taught her.
When he was looking around some?of the other students couldn’t help but notice his wide-eyed wonder at the college’s impressive features.
This perception cast him in the eyes of some as a newcomer or, in their view, a “country bumpkin” who had not yet fully acclimated to the college.
Amid the sidelong glances and whispered comments, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the amusing reactions of those around him.
Archer knew he was about to deliver a captivating performance that would leave everyone in shock.
The judgment of others, for their opinions, held little significance to him. The only ones that truly mattered were those of Hemera and Leira.
As for the lion siblings he liked them especially Nala who caught his interest and wanted to fight her again.
What he loved was that she wasn’t a delicate princess but a fierce warrior, and he was eager to take her on a bandit-hunting expedition with him.
He knew she wouldn’t have a problem killing them just like him. As they got closer to the training field he grinned as he spotted Jade ushering students through the door. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
At that very moment, when his gaze fell upon the beautiful bear woman, he resolved to initiate the second part of his plan for revenge against his Father and his stupid wives.
Jade smiled warmly as she held the door for them, blissfully unaware of the greedy dragon that had already laid claim to her.
Hemera and Leira, still observing the way Archer’s gaze seemed to lay a possessive claim on their professor, exchanged knowing glances.
It was a look they recognized all too well, one that echoed the behavior of a dragon securing a new treasure.

As Archer walked ahead with Lioran and Nala, engrossed in conversation, Leira and Hemera couldn’t help but slow down and indulge in a bit of playful wagering.
The anticipation of how long it would take Archer to claim the Professor added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
Leira looked at the elf with a mischievous grin and confidently stated, “I bet it will take him three years.”
Not one to back down from a wager, Hemera eagerly countered, “I’m doubling the stakes, two hundred gold, and boldly predicting it will be five years until she’s screaming and moaning his name in our treehouse.”
When Leira heard her lewd words she felt her cheeks turn bright red before Hemera spotted it and grinned before teasing the cat girl. ”Oh, you’re still waiting. Well, that horny dragon will lay his claws on you before long.”
With a sly grin, Hemera leaned in and whispered teasingly in Leira’s ear. “You know, at that time, it’ll be you who’s screaming and moaning his name, and in the future, you’ll be having little kittens with him.”
After speaking the cat girl turned beet red and rushed off to walk beside Archer causing Hemera to chuckle as she caught up.
He noticed Leira’s red face and wondered what happened but shook his head as the group arrived at the spellcasting training field, where students had already gathered.
They watched as their fellow students cast Mana Blasts at the target dummies, their spells manifesting in bursts of energy and impacting the practice targets.
The display drew the attention of a growing crowd, with onlookers eager to witness the students’ magical prowess.
However, as they observed the Mana Blasts striking the dummies, Archer couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh.
The Mana Blasts on display appeared feeble and lacked the necessary power, prompting Archer to shake his head in disappointment.
His reaction didn’t go unnoticed, and the nearby students turned their attention toward him.
A confident young man, who appeared to carry the air of a noble, stepped forward with a smug grin and addressed Archer. “You find our attempts amusing, yet you haven’t even demonstrated your own skills.”
He heard a few chuckles from the surrounding students, but Archer simply grinned. In response, he conjured an Element Bolt, weaving together the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Thunder into a dazzling display of magical prowess.
The bolt crackled with energy, illuminating the field and drawing the astonished gaze of both the young master and the surrounding students.
Archer sent the Element Bolt hurtling toward the target with incredible speed as it left a streak of red, blue, brown, and yellow behind.
The bolt blazed with fiery intensity, crackling with the essence of Water, Earth, and the raw power of Thunder as it soared through the air.
When the Element Bolt struck the dummy, it erupted into a dazzling display of elemental energy and caused a massive explosion that shook the ground.
The fire consumed the wooden frame, water doused the flames, earth crumbled beneath the impact, and thunder resounded in a deafening crescendo.
The target dummy lay in ruins, completely obliterated, leaving everyone shocked by the sheer power of Archer’s spell.
Recognizing the need to clear the dust and debris, Jade cast wind magic, dispersing the particles and revealing the aftermath.
With the area now clear, Jade turned her attention to him, her expression adorned with an impressed smile. She inquired, “Was that the spell you were learning, Archer?”
He shook his head, his determination evident in his eyes. “I was nearly done with that one. I can finish it and show you. It’s going to be quite the show.”
Jade smiled before nodding her head and getting the students back to their spellcasting which forced them to get back to work.
Hemera and Leira walked over to him with massive smiles on their face as the cat girl spoke. ”That was brilliant Arch!”
