Re: Love & Magic

42 Spots, Nasty Exchange, and Call



Zevien returned to the class, and everyone had already reported their magic powers.

Vernisia: 42.4

Tigger: 41.7

Dan: 40.9

Erica: 40.9

Aside from those four who reached the 40 mark and up, all the others were below 40.

“What about you, Zevien? You must have a much higher magic power than us,” Sophia asked curiously.

Zevien glanced at Touma, who shook his head lightly.

“My magic power is close to fifty-one,” Zevien said with a smile.

The students all wryly smiled.

“Alright, now I have to announce something today,” Touma said as he lightly tapped on the table.

The students look at the front, ready to listen.

‘Is it about the exchange program and seats? I’m sure Touma-sir announced this exactly today before the time rewind,’ Zevien thought.

“As you know, there are ten major countries in our Gaia continent, and we have an additional union body known as the Magic Guild that handles magic eruption spots and areas of our continent.”

The students nodded excitedly after hearing that.

“The special academy where only top-notch talents from all countries study, Skyward Union Academy, is at the headquarters of the Magic Guild in the Lankrena region. After eleven months, there will be a competition among all first-year students of this academy and the magic dojos of this city. We have gotten two spots, so among eighty first-year students, only two of them will go to the Skyward Union Academy. The other two spots belong to magic dojos.”

“Only two spots? Damn, it will be a hard competition.”

“Nah, only one spot because I can already see Zevien snatching one for him.”

“True. Geez, we’ll have to work harder. I wonder if I will be able to master my trump card magic spell by that time. I am working on a tier-1 fusion spell, Candle Gust Blast. I already learned its basic A-rank spell and now learning the required tier-1 spell, so I can combine them.”

“Increase your physical skills as well.”

The students entered a heated discussion for a minute before Touma snapped his finger as the sound reverberated.

“The competition is indeed tough,” Touma smiled, “that’s why you all will have to work harder for this opportunity. Once you go to the Magic Guild, you will see new horizons opening up to you that 90% of the people in this Gaia continent are unaware of.”

‘Previously, Tigger managed to get one spot, and this time, I already have a plan to get a spot for myself via another method,’ Zevien thought, ‘I’ll try to get a spot for Vernisia, but if I can’t then she can always get one from the academy with how hard she is working on getting strong.’

However, Zevien didn’t know that something was being arranged for Vernisia regarding the entry into Skyward Union Academy.

“Another thing is the exchange program among the four national academies of our country,” Touma said as his face turned somber, “this thing is a bit nasty, but that’s how it rolls. There will be an exchange of two students after six months from each academy, and the chosen students are either the most talented or slightly below the most talented of their academies. Do note that they can also participate in the competition for seats.”

Hearing that, all students gasped as they realized the matter.

Touma nodded, “so, two very talented students will be arriving here to contend for the spots of Skyward Union Academy. Naturally, we can also send two students from here so they can also get a chance to get a spot in another academy.”

“Fuck!” Warmos clenched his fist and said with a grin, “sir, let’s send Zevien into this program, hehe. He is sure to snatch a spot of another academy.”

“Yeah, sir! Please do that.” All the students clamored about it.

Zevien wryly smiled seeing this.

Vernisia turned to him and slightly stuck out the tip of her tongue smilingly before saying, “they are not wrong, heh. You should take part in this exchange program.”

“Stop, stop,” Touma said, shaking his head, “this will be decided after your first six months of term-end exam.”

“Okay, but we still believe that Zevien should be chosen for this program,” Erica said before snickering, “this will also save one spot for us.”

“Ahem, we will likely do that but let’s not discuss it now. It’s time for your second class, so be on your way,” Touma said with a smile.

“Yeah! Let’s go!”

“You are awesome, Touma-sir.”

After hearing that Zevien would likely get chosen, the students cheered.

“You are not coming?” Vernisia asked Zevien as she saw him not standing up.

“Nope. I am not attending the academy today after this,” Zevien grinned, “don’t miss me too much; we’ll be meeting in the afternoon anyway.”

Vernisia blushed slightly before turning her head away with a snort and left.

“What’s the plan? Am I really going to the exchange program?” Zevien asked.

“Most likely,” Touma smiled and nodded, “anyway, what’s your real magic power now?”

Zevien activated his Digi-watch and showed him.

Seeing the number, Touma sighed, “you are definitely going into the exchange program. Get a spot from another academy so we can save two spots for our students.”

“How many spots did the 2nd-year and 3rd-year students get?” Zevien asked.

“The 2nd-year students got two spots while the 3rd-year students got three,” Touma said as he rubbed his chin and looked at Zevien, “are you dabbling in some business recently?”

“You investigated me?” Zevien asked wryly.

“Well, since you participated in the experiment and succeeded, we gotta check your status. You spent 1,250,000 Lopax Credits just yesterday after getting your cut from Raven.”

“I am not privy of how much you received from Raven, but that Bonecretto potion is selling like hotcakes. The government has asked for a large batch of 100,000 potions,” Touma wryly smiled.

“Cough…the total I got was 5,000,000 Lopax CreditS,” Zevien smiled.

“Raven paid you from the advance she got, huh,” Touma muttered, “well, that’s generous of her. But it should be because she also knows that you are building your company.”

“How much advance did she get?” Zevien asked as his throat dried a bit after doing some calculations.

100,000 Bonecretto potions means Raven will receive 2,500,000,000 Lopax Credits in total.

“She got one billion Lopax credits in advance. The rest of the 2.5 billion will be given to her in a period of one year.”

“That’s nice,” Zevien grinned, “Guess I will be receiving money periodically as well.”

“Now, I’ll be going because I need to build a company and launch the products before this year ends,” Zevien said as he stood up, “I want to create our own clan after going to Lankrena, and I will need a lot of money for that so this company will be my backing at that time.”

“You’ve really thought things thoroughly and ahead, huh,” Touma wryly smiled and nodded, “well, good luck building your business.”

After Zevien finished visiting his workplace that he had just bought yesterday and ordering the workers he hired to set up all the necessary things like the office and furniture, he visited some people he recruited to aid them.

At one in the afternoon, he was finished with this and met up with Vernisia and the others at Dan’s dojo to train.

After some physical training, all of them practiced new tier-1 magic spells that they chose so they could fuse them with a base A-rank spell to create a fusion tier-1 magic spell. Dan was closest to doing this as he wanted to combine his Piercing Palm A-rank spell with a tier-1 magic spell, Scyth Wave.

After finishing their physical and magic spells training at seven in the noon, Vernisia received a call from her mother.

After talking to her for a minute, her face became confused.

“Mom told me to bring you all to my house.”

“Why?” Erica was confused.

“She said I should invite my friends to the house once. She is already preparing dinner for us.”

“Well, then let’s go after freshening up,” Zevien smiled.
