My Mage System (BL)-Chapter 46 - Laughing At Him

Kevin then decided to pour his potion into the hermetic bottle that was provided for this purpose, and after putting down his cauldron again and closing this bottle that contained his first Healing potion low grade, he sat down cross-legged directly on the floor.

He pulled his hood over his head so it hid half of his face, and he continued to follow the instructions written by their teacher that said to rest for 1 hour between each potion to restore their Soul force reserve.

He didn't need it though, and he could have crafted 6 more potions before he needed to rest but he remembered in time that he was only supposed to have 180 Soul force points.

So instead of wasting 1 hour resting, he decided to meditate, he was curious to see the difference that his black necklace High grade would bring him, the one that allowed him to double his efficiency while he was meditating.

Ian who was giving advice to the first students who had failed to craft their potion was surprised to hear whispers in his class.

He looked around and realized that at least 6 students were looking towards the corner of the classroom.

He apologized to the student he was looking after and went to see what was causing all this commotion.

He stopped right there when he saw that a student was sitting cross-legged in his classroom with his hood hiding a good part of his face, and from the movement of spiritual energy around this boy, there was no doubt that he was meditating.

Ian stepped forward more and more curious about this student, and he noticed on the table the Healing potion low grade in the hermetic bottle that the Sun Sect provided to the new mages, and he was pleasantly surprised because it seemed perfectly executed.

He took it and opened it to check its quality and as he had correctly guessed, this boy had just succeeded on the first try in crafting a Healing potion low grade and it had only taken him 20min to craft it.

It was very impressive, but this boy probably came from a family of mages, this kind of achievement was nothing exceptional.

He turned to the other students and asked them : "Anyone know his name ?"

He saw them all shake their heads and he finally said : "You should concentrate on your own work, this boy has already managed to craft his first potion and instead of resting he has decided to meditate.

So, you should all follow his example instead of wasting your time chatting with others."

All the students got back to work immediately wondering who was this boy that their teacher just praised.

Ian continued to help the other students while waiting for this boy to finish meditating, he too was eager to know what family he came from.

Kevin, unaware that he had become the center of everyone's attention, was meditating peacefully. The particles of the elements he could see had actually doubled and he could absorb more and more of them, the effectiveness of this necklace was truly remarkable.

When the familiar message from his System appeared before his eyes he looked at the summary of his mediation and the difference was obvious.

[ Summary of your meditation ]

Lightning element level 5 : 6 457 / 20 000

Water element level 3 : 1 766 / 5 000

Wind element level 1 : 542 / 1 000

Earth element level 1 : 234 / 1 000

Fire element level 0 : 0 / 200

Kevin thought that maybe he should ask Axel to use the fire element of his sword, if he meditated after the latter has used up his chakra reserve he should be able to absorb enough fire particles to progress to level 1.

After Kevin came out of his meditation he stood up, removed his hood and took out the ingredients needed to craft a second Healing potion. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

When Ian saw him get up he approached and asked him while he was preparing the ingredients for a second potion : "Congratulations, your first potion was perfectly executed, may I know your name and what family are you from ?"

Kevin looked at him puzzled, he really wondered why they all had to ask this kind of question, but since he was his alchemy teacher and he liked the way he was teaching them, he answered politely : "My name is Kevin, and I'm an orphan."

Ian opened wide his eyes and he remembered then that Alan had told him about a new student named Kevin who had an affinity with three elements.

He then asked him : "Do you happen to be the Kevin Alan told me about, the one who has an affinity with 3 elements."

When Ian threw that bomb, the class suddenly fell silent, Kevin who didn't care what others were thinking about replied : "That's right teacher, Alan was the one who tested me and he is also the one who taught me how to meditate."

Ian couldn't believe his luck, it was the first time that the Sun Sect recruited a mage who had an affinity with 3 elements and he was in his class, too awesome !

He cleared his throat aware that his behavior had been a little inappropriate and he said to him : "Kevin, you did a good work, keep going like this, and watch out your Soul force's reserve, Alan warned me that it was only of 180 so don't exhaust yourself."

Kevin nodded and he still said politely : "Yes teacher, I'll be careful. Thank you for your advice."

Kevin could hear his classmates' teasing very well, and he didn't need to read their lips to know why they were laughing at him, 180 Soul force points was just a little bit more than the minimum required to be able to become a mage.

It was easy to figure out alone that this number must be ridiculous for many of them.

Ian was really, really upset, what he hated most of all were those kids who thought they were better than the others and who took the opportunity to bully those supposed to be weaker than them.

But it won't be like that in his class, he suddenly clapped his hands which drew the attention of all the students to him, and he then point his finger at some of them.

He said to make it clear for everybody : "For those I just pointed out, this is your last warning before being excluded from my class for a week, and for everyone who have made fun of him, I think you have all forgotten an important point."

Kevin was surprised that the teacher was defending him, it wasn't like he was caring for what they were saying about him, actually he really didn't care, but well, those brats were deserving this warning anyway.
