Chapter 500 Meeting with Professor Amrita
Chapter 500 Meeting with Professor Amrita
The temperature was decreasing on the DU (Dehradhun University) campus as the sun said goodbye to everyone.
A silver-haired boy could be seen moving toward a section of the college where other students rarely visited. He entered the building and started climbing the stairs.
He kept walking; beside him, multiple small rooms with names on their doors could be seen.
The boy was checking them all as if searching for something; his feet halted before the cabin with ‘Professor Amrita’ written on the nameplate. 𝓝𝑜𝒱𝔢𝓛𝐧𝑬xt.𝗰𝑂𝗆
He rechecked the name before looking inside through the glass. His eyes fell on a middle-aged woman with blue eyes and long, white hair working on her laptop.
Taking a small breath to calm down, he knocked on the door lightly. The woman kept working on her laptop and said, “Come in.”
The boy slowly opened the door and entered the cabin, standing before her.
He saw a statue of laughing Budhha on the right side, while on the left was a showpiece moving by itself. She was sitting in the center with her laptop before her.
She kept typing for a while before stopping; her eyes shifted toward him.
A confused expression appeared on the face: “Sit.”
Rishi pulled the chair slightly and sat gently.
She folded her laptop and looked at him as if asking for the reason he had come.
Rishi introduced himself: “Mam, I am Rishi, a first-year student. I need your help with this.”
He took out the sheet of paper and showed it to her.
She looked at his face before staring at the sheet; the more she looked, the more confused she became.
“Which idiot had created this magic circle diagram? He is an embarrassment to all the spellcasters,” she said in an angry tone.
Rishi’s whole body shook, but he had to reply.
“Mam, I created it,” he said in a low tone, looking downward in shame. Thinking, ‘It appears as if I have not learned it well.’
“Tell me a better joke.”
“I want you to be honest,” she said, daggering her eyes at him.
Rishi looked at her and replied confidently, “I am not lying.”
The professor looked at him as if thinking about what to do. “Alright, then create a Belkan Magic Circle.”
Rishi nodded his head and closed his eyes. He then opened them again, and this time, a golden glow appeared on them.
Pointing his finger forward, a small storm appeared as a triangular shape appeared in the air. Then, four circles appeared on it.
The mouth of the professor opened wide; she could not believe her eyes. She removed her eyeglasses and looked at the magic circle.
“Impossible. How can you do it? You are not a sorcerer,” she said as she looked at Rishi.
“I never knew; you need to be a sorcerer to use magic circles.”
After calming down, the professor looked at him again. She then looked at the sheet and the diagram on it.
“Now that I think about it, only someone without knowledge and experience can make so many rookie mistakes.”
She lectured Rishi for many minutes before stopping and telling him about all the mistakes and how to correct them.
“Here, you should not use this runic symbol; it is an imbalance.”
Rishi listened to everything she said; he even asked many questions. At one time, he thought she might kick him out; anyone would have been irritated with so many questions.
To his surprise, she answered each of his questions carefully. Three hours have passed, but she is still guiding him.
“Finally,” sighed Rishi as he looked at all the errors marked on the diagram. It would not have taken this much time if he kept his eyes closed.
“Thanks, Mam,” he thanked her with a smile, to which she only nodded.
“Alright, you can leave now. It’s already late.” She said she was looking at the clock on the wall.
Rishi left her cabin. He was in a good mood. Now, he had to recreate this diagram without any mistakes and master it.
He was very close to achieving his goal.
Inside the cabin, Amrita was sitting, clenching her head. “How is this possible?”
She had been keeping an eye on him from the moment he entered the college. He was wild and caused chaos wherever he went.
From defeating seniors on the first day himself, she felt he might be a psycho when she heard about what he did to those two.
However, she didn’t hear of any such incident from his side.
He focused on his classes and training and ignored everything else. The students she asked to follow him answered that he never missed any class, nor did he misbehave.
In contrast, he was a top student and impressed everyone with his talent.
Then came battles; the first was for the better room. He and Vinay made everyone curious about themselves by creating an air of mystery.
How he helped Leo House win two competitions was also not unknown to her. She was also from Leo House.
“What an interesting lad; it’s as if he can do everything.”
“How can he be a good runemaster, beast cultivator, and spellcaster simultaneously?”
“His ability to learn is beyond genius. It looks like my niece is gifted. Not only in talent but also in luck.”
“Everything about him is alright, but why do I feel an eerie presence from him? This is unusual for him.”
***
After having all the answers, Rishi wasted no time and started drawing another magic circle.
This time, he took his time and successfully created a perfect one.
After not a single second, he started learning it, capturing its essence in the depths of his mind so that he could create it without any diagram.
He started creating it but faced problems. It was too hard for him to master such a high-level magic circle.
However, he was not someone who would give up. He kept trying, only stopping when his mental energy was exhausted.
He forgot about other things and disappeared from other people’s eyes. The only reason he left his room was to attend the classes.
Other than that, he focused on only practicing. He relied on packaged food. Not wasting his time in the mess or canteen.
His hard work paid off, and his progress increased. Each day, he was getting one step closer to creating the magic circle.
He failed many times, but he kept trying, never thinking about anything else.
