V3-C44: Practical Casting [2] Mia stepped forward and turned to the group. “Welcome to the first practical casting class. I will be your instructor and teach you everything I know over the next few years! I hope you will be able to handle it!” She exclaimed proudly. A nervous chuckle escaped some students. “So, just for me to get to know your skills, I will ask you to demonstrate your most powerful spells against that boulder.” Her eyes then fell on Aqua. “I expect great results from some of you. Do not worry about breaking the stone. It is a piece of raw mythril. Magic won't as much as scratch it.” Mia slowly walked over to the boulder and slid her palm over it. “Even a blessed child will struggle destroying this, so show me your most powerful spell!” That. Aqua closed her eyes and inhaled sharply. Mia, you are really overestimating the durability of that rock. “Everyone, get in a line and start on it.” She said, turning to Aqua. “Aqua, you are going last, understood?” While it was true that Mythril had high anti-magical properties, it was far from immune. While it could easily disperse spells of low-tier exterminator, anyone higher would be able to damage it and eventually break it. Someone like Sheira would leave nothing but dust with a mere fireball. Her eyes wandered to Azure. Perhaps she would struggle with it a bit, but nothing she wouldn't be able to deal with. If she wants to test if I can break it, I should go last. She turned to Sheira and shook her head. If that piece of metal even survives Sheira. However, Mythril had a fatal weakness. Its physical durability in its unalloyed form was barely higher than gold. The lesser nobles cast their weak spells, not even leaving a scorch mark on the mythril. Mia stared at Noble’s satisfied smirks, and her brow twitched. “Next,” she spoke with a shaky voice. Hikari held her hands in a ‘V’ shape while approaching close to the chunk of mythril. She grasped the air, and a staff of pure light formed in her hand. The blessed child of dawn closed her eyes and pointed her staff. “I see, you use prayer and channel the power of your god. I can work with that,” Mia said, pinching her chin. Hikari tilted her head and looked at Mia. She smiled gently. “Kind of~.” She answered and focused on her target. I need to be careful. Hikari’s brows furrowed, and she clicked her tongue. “By the power of Light, I pray to the Lady of Dawn.” She chanted, the power gathered around her, causing powerful winds to swirl around her. “May the cycle of day and night continue forevermore, and we, your faithful servants, shall carry forth your will. Lady of Dawn, guide my hand and strike down my enemy. [Solar Beam].” The power gathered at the tip of her lightbound staff. The singularity rippled and the miniature sun formed. For a mere moment, it spun peacefully, and then it shattered. The sound was drowned out by a high-pitched screech, and a wave of light washed over the boulder. She is definitely holding back. Aqua’s lips stretched into a line. The blessed child of dawn was extremely powerful compared to the majority of inhabitants of this world, she hid herself rather well. Soon, the light faded, and the previously pure white stone turned black. The staff of light dispersed into wisps, and she turned toward Mia, who looked at the scene with a satisfied expression. “That was me,” Hikari said, bowing. As soon as she returned to the group, she was surrounded by other nobles who quickly started praising her. Hikari nervously chuckled and slowly distanced herself. “It’s nothing...” She said, a small blush forming on her face. Avaros was next, he stepped forward and smirked. “I might not be as powerful as these ladies, but observe the fruits of my labor.” He stretched his hand forward and without any wait, a mass of fire burst forth, crashing against the boulder and creating a glazed layer over it. He smiled and returned to the group without a further word. “Azu, go on, your turn,” Aqua said. The champion nodded a
