V3-C45: After Class Mia let out a sigh and approached the group. “I am happy with everyone’s level.” She said, her gaze washing over the above-average students. “While some of you might have witnessed the power of prodigies, I urge you not to lose faith. I am here to bring you to a level where your very name will make men tremble.” She said. The nobles merely stared at her, their pride shattered. “If you wish to pursue the art of casting, then you are welcome to remain. However, I will not stop you if you choose to quit. I will look forward to seeing who will remain in the next class!” Mia shouted, a grin adorning her face. Only the silence waited as her response, she let out a sigh. Of course, they would lose heart if they saw what the royals are capable of. “You are dismissed for today.” She said, before her ears twitched and she snapped her gaze toward Aqua. “Except you. Stay here.” Sheira and Azure looked at Aqua, who just waved them off. “It’s fine. I promised to stay after this, you can go.” Aqua said, ignoring Azure’s adorable pouting. “You'd better make it up to me later,” Azure said, walking off with the group. Her eyes closed, and she smiled. “I will get you something for sure, now to speak with Mia.” She muttered, approaching the small teacher who stared at her with a sparkle in her eyes. “While everyone merely focused on showing off their destructive power.” She said, her eyes trailing after the distant young princess. “You instead showed me a miracle of creation. You created the best anti-magic ore… out of magic.” Aqua’s face twisted into a crooked smile. “The best, no,” Aqua said, approaching the stone. Her fingers glided over its smooth surface. “This stone might be good against magic, I will give it that. However…” She said, her hand gripping a corner of the pillar. Her fist tightened, and a chunk of the stone crumbled in her hand. “Its physical resistance is pathetic.” Mia looked at the scene without daring utter a word. She brought her hand in front of her mouth and let out a cough. She stepped forward and looked at the missing chunk. “Of course, I believe you, and I know its weakness, but if we alloy it, we could gain a much more powerful material when it comes to physical resistance.” “I am not saying that it’s useless in any stretch of imagination. After all, raw mythril is very easy to alloy and increase its durability. However, having a material that can do both would be ideal.” Aqua said calmly, she turned to Mia and looked down at the teacher. Mia nodded and pinched her chin. Two uncommon ores were often used to create powerful alloys that resisted both physical and magical attacks. One was Mythril, which could nullify mana as no other ore could, and the second was adamantite. Unlike Mythril, the Adamantite would shatter if a decent spell struck it as it could not hold any mana whatsoever. “Something that combines properties of both Mythril’s magical resistance and Adamantite’s Physical affinity without having to alloy them,” Mia muttered. “Correct,” Aqua said, her hand disappearing into the lightless void of her storage. Mia closed her eyes and exhaled sharply. “Should I expect some mythical ore that would make everything we know seem stupid?” “Not at all.” She answered and soon after pulled a radiant stone. “This here is what I call Manasteel. It is the ultimate material in any non-combat-oriented Mystic engineering creation.” She spoke softly, gripping the ore. Her gaze met with Mia’s, and she nodded. “Take it.” Mia reached up nervously, grabbing the ore with both of her hands. “Thank you, but while this is impressive and makes me wish to probe you about it, your miracle of creation dulled my excitement.” “Ah…” Aqua said with a sigh. “I gave you that ore because it is very easy to create with mana. Perhaps even easier than what I had done with mythril.” The outrageous statement made Mia reel back and nervously chuckle. “You really are monstrous, huh. No wonder royals would hide their power when they
