"Today I will be giving a lecture on the magic of the earth system."
Mr. Redon was standing on the podium, starting his lecture.
As usual, Professor Redon seemed to be in a bad mood today.
"Earth is more complicated and difficult to handle than the other three systems."
The students then began to practice earth magic, each looking at a grimoire.
"Norman, how are you doing?", asked Professor Redon.
"I don't think I can do earth magic yet."
"But I have learned wind magic."
I remembered that I couldn't do wind magic the other day, so I said that I have learned it.
I nodded and held out my left hand to chant.
Immediately, a magic circle appeared in the air and a wind started to blow.
"So, you've learned to draw magic circles in the air. I thought I hadn't taught you that yet."
I'm a little nervous that by showing him my magic, he'll know I'm trying to summon demons.
"Hmm, at this rate, I think you'll be able to get into the academy."
"Hmm, I hope I can get in......."
"Is there some other problem?"
I've been kicked out of my parents' house, so it may be difficult for me to attend the academy.
Although I had learned at least some magic, I am not a very good magician if I could only use fire, water, and wind magic.
If I could learn at least one unique magic, I could be proud of myself.
I don't think my father would change his mind even if he saw me now.
I need to be more diligent.
That day, a story came up in the school.
Apparently, a new student had arrived at the school.
He was a former commoner who had recently been adopted by a nobleman, and he had an unusual background.
After hearing that, I knew that the new student was Dimito.
Apparently, Dimito was so good that he was transferred to the top development course class from the beginning.
When I asked about it more deeply, I was told that he had been picked a fight with a student because he was a former commoner, and since Dimito is the type of person who takes a fight when it's sold to him, the fight turned into a duel.
Incidentally, the opponent was Rikal, who had fought me before.
He said that he had been annoyed with me for a long time because he had lost against me before. That's why he picked a fight with Dimito.
That's how Dimito and Rikal ended up having a duel.
Rikal is one of the best students in this school. The only reason I was able to beat him before was because of Crocell's intervention. She is much stronger than he is.
Therefore, I predicted that Rikal would win.
The result was an overwhelming victory for Dimito.
I didn't see the duel with my own eyes, so I don't know what kind of fight they had.
But now that Dimito has won, he seems to be getting better and better.
On the other hand, I heard that Rikal's reputation dropped sharply when he lost.
After losing twice in a row, it was inevitable that his reputation would fall.
Well, someone had mentioned that the power in the school had changed a lot, but I guess it didn't matter much to me since I was failing in the lowest basic course.
