Sword Anthem's
Chapter 4 - Imaginary Lightning

Finally we got to the front of the academy and luckily no one saw our arrival. Maybe I can breathe a sigh of relief because of that.

"Kuro, wait a minute."

That graceful figure began to approach me, either because of the wind that carried it or my sharp smell. I can smell her hair.

"Hmm ... what?"

"It's a good luck charm ...”

His body started leaning forward right in front of me. After that pleasant soft taste stuck to my cheek—ya, he kissed my cheek. With that happy face, now his figure began to move away while waving his hand.

"Basic, yes, that's it. How else, the nature never changes."

After that, I entered the Magistra Academy. As I walked through the hallway, all the disciples looked at me with a look of disdain.

Is my reputation as a teacher this bad?

First of all I have to go into the principal's room first to bring my work map. Without my work map, I am not allowed to teach.

Not long after that I arrived at the door of the principal's room.

"I have to mentally prepare in advance to get into this fucking granny's room" I muttered wryly.

"Anci ... "

"Please come in."

Before I knocked on the door, a voice called me to come in. It seems he knew I was here. I casually opened the door until something very unexpected shot up to my right.

"Hahaha .. baby but you missed, you granny. You think you can hit me with your mint knife ... huh?!"

It turned out that the one that shot out was a hand knife. If only my reflex had been one second late, maybe the knife would have been stuck in my head. Fortunately I managed to dodge and now the knife stuck to the door behind me.

"Ara ... almost, if the knife hit you Kuro~ Maybe I managed to defeat the Black God Slayer in one attack," he said lightly.

"Heiii .. You fucking granny, you tried to kill the man you recruited yourself. What does this mean!?" my mouth then removed the little knife and threw it back at him quickly.

"No, just a warm-up and a simple physical exercise before you start training the students in this academy, Kuro~" his reply then caught the knife with only his index and middle fingers alone in a flank in the middle of it., "you know this academy really needs a teacher who is very skilled in one or more fields?"

"Physical exercise? You call that quick attack practice! You granny is gray," I said, then took a deep breath." Of course I know, that's why you recruited me, right? Do you know my reputation

back then?"

"I don't mind it at all, and you're very good at various fields. Sword skills, magic, sports, martial arts, etc"

"Bring this up with you, and don't forget to wear it. You're so dashing in that outfit, Kuro~"

Her smile just seemed to be mocking me and I don't know why I regret coming here.

"Hoo ... Is that what it is? Then thank you for your praise" I said with a fake smile..

"Ohhh ... Fear~, as usual you're so sweet today"

"And one more don't call me Kuro–ehh ... Fear?"

I was shocked when that damn grandma mentioned Fear's name with a flowery face. After that lift it up like his own grandson. Then twist it like a prick.

"J-so all this time while I was walking down the aisle you didn't get into my sword, Fear?" I was worried about the cold sweat dripping down.

"Ouu .. That's right, I'm eating this candy. Where may I enter into your sword, Kuro~ ... hehehehehe .. again, turn me again," he replied innocently and then turned cheerful as he was on the ceiling.

"Fear~, you're so cute. Why do you have to pair up with this fierce Kuro?" tanyanya cynic.

"Aha .. ahahahah, the end is my clean title. After being nicknamed a failed knight, now I will be nicknamed as a boy who likes girls aka Pedophiles," said I depressed and bowed to contemplation.

Fear who saw me then asked Aresya to lower him. Then he walked up to me who was contemplating.

"Mwm .. nyamnyam ... What's up Kuro? Why be moody? You should be proud to get that nickname. Doesn't that mean you like me more than anything ..," she said with a plain face, then patted me on the shoulder with her fragile little hand. After that give a sharp look as if 'Prepare' and finally refocus to eat candy again.

With a mind that I felt like it was being pierced by a small thorn, it felt sore as well. I also took my work map and a blue-black bracelet. After that, get out of the principal's room.

"Then I go first – hikss ... hikss"

"Excite Kuro~, Fear~" Aresya said as she waved her hand.

I also once again walked in the hallway of this academy. His left and right were white to abuan like marble that had been eroded. There are some paintings with pictures of swords and also shields.

Sometimes on the sidelines between it there is a solid black pillar as a buffer of this academy. Sunlight can penetrate this academy then reflect its warm rays through the roofs.

On the right side there is a beautiful green garden, in some corners there is a wooden bench that is quite sturdy and also simple. There was a giant tree in the right corner near the gate.

Stuck up the hanging roots. Its green leaves bring a freshness and also help bring this academy to life. Magistra Academy, 45% is buildings and the remaining 55% is green land that is very refreshing to the eye.

There are several rooms such as Gym, indoor swimming pool, large field as a sports venue, archery training ground and a multi-purpose building.

Not long after that I arrived at an intersection, the right hall connecting the first and second floors, while to the left was the canal from the previous hallway.

Looks like the class I was teaching was in the hallway on the left, on the first floor. I opened my work map just in case.

“Looks like I got a problematic class ..?”

I also know quite well about the condition of this academy. Such is the equal division of classes between the noble classes, knights, and also ordinary people. This seemed to be done so that there was no jealousy among the disciples, so they were all considered equal in this academy.

"Fear, are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Ouu .. Of course, I haven't finished my sweets yet. Only a quarter"

"Huhhhh .. It looks like I should do it or not at all."

After solidifying the intention and taking a deep breath, I finally peeked in with a face that seemed lazy.

As I expected, this class is flat alias all the class classes are here. From the start of nobles, knights, even commoners. Damn it somehow there was Reya in this class and someone who seemed to be popular among the students.

The two of them were in a crowd of nearly half the disciples who were inside the room. They all wore bright blue shirts with a white striped tie in the middle.

Black robed with an emblem on the left side of his arm. With a picture of a blue rose and two Rappier pieces that cross each other for women while for men are two swords.

On the right there is a bright white number one. Not only on his black robe even on his blue shirt pocket was a picture of a blue rose with a 'Magistra' inscription on the bottom.

It seems like today will be hard for me.

I then slowly walked towards the table in the middle of the room, precisely in front of a very large and spacious whiteboard. This place was like a match arena, made half-circular with benches and chairs made of Almite Wood.

Almite wood, a sturdy wooden rod because it is coated by Air Manadite and also given some magic in order to neutralize various kinds of magic.

"Ehmmm ...."

They were all quite shocked by my presence and started to return to their seats. Looks like Reya breathed a sigh of relief from being saved by me. The next friend looked a little pensive.

"Hmm ... introduce my name is Kurokami Rei, and from now on I am your homeroom teacher" I said quite loudly. "You can call me Kuro's instructor or instructor."

Although it looks quiet, but I can still hear whispers and swearing quite clearly from here. Like 'wasn't he the failed knight huh?, why did that loser become our homeroom teacher?, was the principal crazy for hiring him as a teacher?'.

Like that, although painful but what can be done. I have to teach here because of that goddamn grandmother's threat.

"Well, now we'll know what Mana is? But before that please determine the class leader first

formerly."

They all pointed directly at one of the women. He was quite nervous and also clumsy in my opinion, long orange hair, he glazed eyes with two cyan blue eyes that are quite beautiful.

Her skin is white and her pink lips add to her appeal. It looks like he's D-cup, if you look at his shirt which is quite prominent. But was he really clumsy with such a face?

Hmm. .. This is an abuse of authority and power. Huhh .. nothing, to make it faster.

"Alright, it's decided. Please introduce yourself"

"H-h-hmm .. n-n-name s-my Mai, Mai Grels"

"Then Mai, do you know what Mana is?"

"c-hmm ... Mana is the energy collected in a container that we call a body. Sometimes the mana can also automatically move places as in our other limbs"

"Thank you i-instructor"

"Mai's explanation is pretty good and easy to understand. I will explain it in detail and also a little long. Mana is a collection of energy made from Stamina and sometimes requires a sufficient level of focus in order to channel it freely. Which is also usually stored in one part of our body, for example is the core of our heart, head, stomach and hands or feet." I clearly.

"Instructure! ...."

One of the disciples stood up and then raised his hand.

Uhhh ... Reya.

"Whose little girl is eating candy?" tanyakanya.

"Huhh .. surely someone will ask you too. I'll make it clear she's not my son, this little girl is exactly my contractor's spirit."

And instantly the entire disciple fell silent but fruitfully became enthusiastic. But there are some who seem to be upset.

"If it's like that we'll go straight to trying to channel it into basic magic."

I took a wooden block from behind the table and put it on top.

"Now try to channel Mana into magic easily to be able to destroy it"

All the disciples then gathered in front, except for two people. A man

and the other one is a woman.

"What's wrong? Is that so boring my lesson to you?"

"You're a failed knight, what are you teaching here for?"

"Include your name first, and then argue"

"My name is Loki Minaghyr, aren't you ashamed of getting such a nickname the more you become a teacher. You are shameless!" he said with a sarcasm.

"I don't want to, but I was forced by someone. So quickly get down here, and to—“

"Call me Shiena Khizwart's daughter, you commoner!"

I whistled too, it turned out that their words were really spicy.

"Whoaaa .. are you like that calling your instructor, Shiena?" My heart relaxed, "then try to smash the wooden box with first-rate magic" I continued with a small smile

"Alright, so that you realize your position of commoners. Fufufu."

Ahhh .. The type of daughter of a conglomerate is the one I dislike the most.

"We're going to use Lightning to smash that wooden box, do you understand?"

Everyone nodded and it looked like it would be interesting now.

"What if Miss Shiena and also Mr. Loki try it first?" I said while provoking. "But listen first—“

"Tchhh .. It's very easy, move away."

Just then Loki started chanting a short rune quickly. A sniping sound rang out from Loki's palm, then grabbed the box's wood but –

"What's!? Impossible, vanished?! My magic vanished?!"

"Let's hear my explanation first, huhhh. So you know, right? All magic won't work at all"

"The structure is impossible for us to do, if the wood is Almite is a lie if it casts magic on him" said one of the students.

It seems that Loki looks a little upset and he starts to heat up. "Review, let me try again. This time the wood will definitely be destroyed with my magic!" he said with burning emotions.

He chanted the same rune but the result was nil, just like his first experiment.

"Damn!" He punched the floor.

"Fufufu .. Basic commoners, time only destroys such a small object can not. Then it's my turn the princess herself will do it."

The proud princess mocked Loki like no problem at all, stepping elegantly like her typical but painful style of speech.

While extending his hand like he wanted to grab something, his mouth moved about the same rune.

A voice boomed with excitement and instantly grabbed the Almite Wood beam violently. However, the results obtained are only limited to a small burn mark in the middle.

Yet all the disciples were amazed by the magic, because the Almite Wood was anti-magi wood. The wood that counteracts all magic power, but the magic that Shiena had just performed managed to incise a burn mark in the middle of it.

Loki who saw that was only fixated and felt himself weaker than that female named Shiena.

"Hmm .. good too, you can make a small impact on the wood of the Almite box. I admit you're pretty good too, Shiena," I said a little salute.

"Fufufu .. It's definitely not, I'm a princess," he replied with a smug laugh.

"Does anyone want to try again?"

All of the students fell silent because they felt unable to do so.

"Then—“

"Wait for me to try it"

Suddenly a boy stepped closer, if not wrong he was the one who was next to Reya.

"My name is Hiro, Hiro Einher. Let me do it Instructor Kuro," he said enthusiastically.

"All right, then."

I could see the flames of spirit from within both of her eyelids. It seemed like he was going to do something different, even Reya smiled. It seems that my guess this time is also true, he is one of the Knights of the Legion.

Hiro started reciting his runes quickly and also briefly.

A flash of red-colored lightning blared with great horror, the flash of red lightning made all the disciples speechless and their faces became startled. Even Shiena was drowned when she saw the magic power that Hiro had done.

And that flash of lightning managed to make a hole in that block of Almite Wood quite moderate. I didn't think his strength of this magnitude was in such a small child. This world is full of mystery.

"Hmm...it's great Hiro, but .." I said, then gently hit him on the head. "Don't I tell you to use only basic magic, right? You are good but you do not pay attention to what I am

explain"

"Ughhh .. I'm sorry Instructor Kuro," Hiro replied then he stepped down

"Before, I'll say it again. This time it only needed to take out a little Mana then flow into the first level magic that was Lightning. What Hiro had done earlier was a third level magic that was Calamity Lightning. You can distinguish the explosive power and also the strength," I explained slowly.

"Mai .. forward"

"A-i? Ta-but Instructor ...

"Go ahead first" I said kindly." Now imagine that Almite Wood is as ordinary as any other wood, never think that it contains anti-magics. Plant on your Mana a picture of the wood will be hollow, then release a little Mana and then flow through your arms. Youunderstand?"

"B-good ...."

Mai finally followed the words of advice I gave her. He fell silent due to focus then reciting the magic rune, and finally a blue lightning bolt struck the wooden box but –

"Surely the result is the same as me, where to – WHAT?!"

Loki who originally thought the lightning Mai released would be the same as his, but it turned out that the lightning managed to hole the Almite Wood perfectly. Although not as big as Hiro's.

"Hows it? You can see it .. This is what is called I-Rune. Imagination Rune, This rune can help raise your magic to the next stage, so that your first level magic evolves to the next stage. And just when your friend did it, Mai, you can go back to your place" I said with a small smile.

At first glance Mai blushed in embarrassment but she immediately went behind the disciples.

"This time I will exemplify an I-Rune that is very easy and also has different powers, but only in one rune recitation. Pay close attention ...,”my clarity is calm, “Lightningg .. !!” I continued with a whisper.

I stretched out my hand quickly, a fiery blue lightning instantly grabbed the wooden box. His voice was not blaring and more sounded like a roar.

As a result the wooden block was smashed into pieces violently. Even his desk on his desk was immediately hollow and left a thick blackish mark. I hope this does not violate the rules of the academy.

"Hows it? Do you still think this is boring?"
