TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 4
A
class was held immediately after lunch. For students, lectures at this time of
the day were their biggest ordeal.
Their
blood was concentrated in their digestive system to digest the food that had
been pushed into their stomach, and as a result, the blood circulating in their
head was reduced, which made the students sleepy.
Different
from the lessons where they had to move their bodies in the training grounds,
their current lesson was a plain lecture. They had to devote their
concentration to fighting drowsiness rather than the content of the lecture.
No
exception for students who attend lectures in the 10th class classroom. While
holding back the drowsiness that assaulted them, they desperately wrote down
the words on the blackboard that could be seen through the gaps of their
falling eyelids.
"As
you know, spirits sometimes show their very powerful powers. Volcanic
eruptions, sudden earthquakes, extreme droughts, and heavy rains. Some of these
major natural disasters are believed to have been caused by spirits."
Currently,
Torgrain-sensei is in charge of the 10th class lessons. He is an expert in
alchemy and an excellent teacher who is also a researcher at a certain research
institute.
He
is a gentle young man with gentle eyes and rimmed glasses, but he doesn't seem
to be very good at asserting himself.
“Although
spirits possess such great power, they also have some drawbacks. Because they
are hollow and float in the air, they are basically unable to travel long
distances like migratory birds. Spirits can only travel in areas where they can
exist. "
While
saying so, the teacher illustrated the relationship between the spirit and the
land on the blackboard.
"These
are lands with specific environments suitable for spirits, such as forests or
springs. This was why elves had to make contracts with spirits from each land
when they used spirit magic."
Torgrain-sensei
drew a picture of a forest and a haze-like figure of spirits on the blackboard.
He pointed to the spirit and forest that he had drawn with arrow drawing.
"The
land becomes a nursery of spirits, and the increasing number of spirits dyes
the land in the color of the spirits that have taken root. Then, the land will
rejuvenate the spirits. The land coloration and spirit rejuvenation are repeated
in a cycle, and we indirectly receive various benefits from the food and
animals that grow in it. "
After
finishing the drawing, Torgrain-sensei turned around, extended his index
finger, and said in a slightly strong tone, "However!".
"It's
not that there is no way for spirits to move out of their territory. There are
ways such as possessing other creatures or covering their body with something
to maintain their existence. Well, the latter method can only be done by a
spirit with a very strong will. ......"
After
saying so, he put his hand over his mouth as if he was coughing.
"Well
now, I'm in the middle of a lecture, so..."
His
gentle eyes sharpened and locked a target. Holding up the chalk in his hand and
swung his arm at once.
