Chapter 51: No Lunch This Time



"We get to learn that?!"

"Lightning rocks, man!"

Whispers gradually became shouts, as they couldn\'t control their reactions from the spell.

Milo had stood up from his mat, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth in anger.

\'Arrgh... I\'m so stupid. I can\'t even first him to breakthrough... Now, he\'s all there having a speed spell and I\'m here cultivating,\' he felt frustrated with himself and wanted to take it out on something or someone, but eventually controlled himself and sat back on his mat.

He tried to calm in nerves, taking in a breath and exhaling out, before continuing his session. "I have to breakthrough."

Kyle, who was unaware of the happenings around him felt disoriented from his outburst of speed.

\'Wow! That was great!\' he thought, itching to go again.

He had already began trying to channel his mana before Instructor Layla\'s voice interrupted his plan.

"Well done, Kyle. It\'s great to cast spells and all, but you have to be aware of your mana," she said, sweeping her gaze across the class in a bid to address them too.

"As a mage, it is very important to be conscious of your mana usage, as they can prove vital in a fight. For you, Kyle, you should be able to use [Lightning Dash] for about two to three times, so try to be conservative when using it."

Kyle nodded his head approvingly at her words, imagining how well he could use the spell with his mana.

"Go and practice with your spell casting. Improve your speed for summoning the spell," Layla instructed Kyle before turning towards the rest of the class, "I want the rest of you to cultivate. Time waits for no one. Get to work, now!"

Everyone followed her command and sat on their mat beginning their long cultivation session.

——————

Kyle sat up from his mat as soon as the bell went. He had managed to achieve alot, even managing to cultivate for some time, between.

He looked around the class to observe their expressions. Sadly, judging from the look on their faces, none of them must have seen a breakthrough.

Everybody were already dispersing out from the class for their break, everyone except one— Milo.

Kyle watched as Milo sat cross-legged, his black hair wet with sweat and clinging to his forehead.

His expression gave away an intense focus and his breathing was rough but controlled.

Unlike the others, he refused to take in-between breaks, clearly pushing himself to his his limits.

\'He sure looks serious,\' Kyle shaked his head, not helping but feel a slight pinge of pity for him.

\'He gave it his all, but, eventually it all came back to the best,\' Kyle chuckled as he left the class, feeling a swell of pride.

He thought for a while on what to do with this break. He glanced around, seeing students wandering about, chatting in groups, or hurrying off to their next destination.

\'Maybe I should head to the library?\' Kyle thought but quickly dismissed the idea. \'I\'m too tired for that... I\'ll go get lunch first.\'

Kyle began making his way to the dorm but suddenly stopped on his tracks immediately a certain thought surfaced on his mind.

\'Ah... I have no credits,\' he remembered, fighting back tears.

He was even in debt of 19 credits and he was entertaining thoughts of an early feast some moments ago.

He decided to head to the Rune Making hall. On getting there, he was surprised to find some students already there.

It made sense, as not many had the luxury to eat by this time, like he did before.

He began striding to the back seat, his eyes falling Lora, who sat at a corner reading a book.

A smirk formed on Kyle\'s lips. \'Of course she\'s reading ahead,\' he thought as he made his way toward her.

"Yo, Lora," Kyle said as he dropped into the seat beside her, looking at the book she read— Introduction To Rune Making II.

"Part two already? I didn\'t even know you finished the first one."

Lora glanced up, startled at first but quickly relaxing when she saw it was Kyle.

"Um, yeah. I\'ve finished it…"

Kyle chuckled. "Are you trying to make the rest of us look bad, or is it just me?"

Lora looked down, a small smile playing at her lips, but she didn\'t respond.

"Come on, share the secret. How are you so fast? Don\'t you cultivate?"

She shook her head, still smiling faintly but clearly unsure how to respond to his teasing.

Kyle leaned back, grinning. "You know, you could give me a crash course sometime. Help me understand what you\'re reading... I\'m pretty behind, you know?"

"You\'re not… behind," Lora mumbled softly, her eyes moving to him for a moment before returning to the book. "I just like to… read ahead."

"Of course, of course, You\'re too good for us."

Lora rolled her eyes slightly but didn\'t say anything, choosing instead to focus on her book, though an amused smile tugged on her lips.

Kyle leaned closer, pretending to read the pages. "So, what\'s so special about this second book? Do the runes get more complex, or are they more runes?"

Lora couldn\'t help but try to laugh, shaking her head. "No… it\'s… um… more complex runes, combinations for more powerful effects."

"Ah, I see... So it\'s like Rune Making on hard mode," Kyle said, nodding like a wise man would.

They continued chatting, or rather, Kyle did most of the talking while Lora occasionally nodded or offered a shy response.

He teased her about reading too much and asked random questions about runes, trying to keep the conversation while learning a few.

Lora seemed to appreciate it, even if she didn\'t say much. She loved it more to explain when her help was asked for.

After a while, the classroom started to fill up with more students, and just as Kyle was about to tease Lora again, the door at the front of the room swung open.

Instructor Victoria walked in with her usual commanding presence. Her eyes scanned the room, taking note of possible drop-outs

"Good afternoon, class," she said with a smile as fake a 3 dollar bill. "I hope some of you heeded to my advice."

Kyle glanced at Lora, who had already closed her book and straightened in her seat, her expression shifting to one of quiet focus.

While he leaned back on his sear, ready to see what Rune Making had in store for the day.
