Magical Cat

Once the students had calmed down a bit, Melina spoke slowly.

"I will have a special lecture next week, and students will be selected to receive the special lecture based on their performance in the two practical classes."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Barbara and the other students who weren't originally in the class exchanged glances.

They didn't come to this class today just to watch the excitement.

Elaine and Webber's bet was certainly an amusing incident in the grade, but it wasn't enough to warrant them making special adjustments to their schedules.

After all, such crowded classrooms increase the pressure on teachers and can easily cause resentment.

But Barbara and her friends had no other choice.

They had all heard about Melina's upcoming special lecture.

These students come from prominent families, so it wasn't difficult for them to find out about the colleges beforehand.

Melina's teaching quality is particularly noteworthy and she is highly praised within the college.

Moreover, special instruction is a benefit for outstanding students, so they naturally want to make the most of it.

However, the decision of which students to give her special instruction to still rests with Melina.

Therefore, those who received the news in advance all wanted to attend the earliest practical class of the week.

This will greatly increase their chances of being selected.

As for how to do it...

Barbara exchanged a smile with the others around her, then glared at Safina with an unfriendly expression before turning her gaze to the other outstanding students.

"I'm definitely taking Melina's special lessons, Barbara!"

Just then, Weber suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, how should my bet with her be settled?"

As Weber spoke, he looked in Elaine's direction.

Elaine also looked back without fear.

Weber was originally very excited about having so many students in class today.

He felt that everyone was there to see how he would defeat Elaine, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

As everyone's attention gradually returned to the lesson content, Weber began to feel dissatisfied. This prompted him to draw everyone's attention back to the main topic, reminding them not to forget the important matter.

Webber is full of confidence about today's bet and has already planned all sorts of cool and stylish celebration moves.

"I'm sure I'll be the star of the show today."

Thinking of this, Weber could barely suppress his laughter and lose his serious expression.

When Melina saw Webber bring up the bet, a playful smile flashed across her face, and she replied:

"Naturally, it depends on your classroom performance. The first person to receive an excellent evaluation wins."

Weber glanced at the target in the distance and continued, "What if someone doesn't get an excellent rating?"

"You are both excellent students of the teacher, and I believe you can definitely do it," Melina said with a smile.

"Of course, if something unexpected happens, it's simple. Those who got it win over those who didn't, and if neither of them got it..."

Melina pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let's see who finishes the basic classroom tasks first."

Upon receiving this answer, Weber finally smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to my teacher."

Then, he looked at Elaine, who was not far away.

Elaine nodded in agreement: "I agree."

Having set the rules, Weber was smug and looked at the others, anticipating their reactions.

Contrary to expectations, less than half of the students were interested; the rest were either racking their brains trying to figure out how to land a critical hit and get an excellent rating, or discussing Melina's special lessons.

What stung Weber even more was that Barbara and the others looked at him with disdain, as if they thought it was beneath Weber to be so formally compared to a commoner.

Weber naturally understood that look and immediately blushed slightly.

"What an idiot, he doesn't understand anything."

Seeing that they had no other questions, Melina began the practical lesson.

Soon, the students took their positions at the target sites under Melina's arrangement.

Fortunately, the Royal Magic Academy's training grounds are large enough, with over a hundred target positions available at the same time.

If someone like Barbara wants to change her class time, she needs to apply in advance.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to attend a class that is not on your schedule.

The college is very strict about this.

However, with so many students to keep an eye on, Melina's teaching workload increased.

No matter which student is in danger during training, she must react immediately.

Therefore, one cannot become a teacher at the Royal Magic Academy without a certain level of skill.

Otherwise, if these noble children were injured due to dereliction of duty, the trouble would be much greater.

As classes officially began, everyone started practicing spellcasting.

This step is not simple either; it requires sufficient magic and mental strength, as well as proper guidance of the elements.

Under this focused concentration, everyone was very quiet.

But this tranquility was not lasting long before it was broken.

boom.

With a loud bang, the distant target lit up with a green light.

Everyone turned to look and saw that Webber had already started shooting.

He actually completed the classroom assignment right from the start.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Weber couldn't help but smile smugly, and then continued to cast fireball spells.

One look at his smooth spellcasting movements and you know that this is not a skill he has just mastered.

"Tch, Webber actually hired a personal trainer? He's got real money!"

Someone figured it out and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Weber wasn't the only one to exhibit this kind of performance.

Many people successfully cast the refined spells directly, clearly indicating that they were well-prepared.

Private magic tutoring is very expensive; even nobles can't all afford it.

Furthermore, in order to avoid responsibility, private magic tutors only teach students who have already mastered the elemental ball magic.

Because the Elemental Orb spell, although it's the first spell everyone learns, can easily lead to accidents if not properly cared for.

Therefore, this greatest responsibility is usually assumed to be borne by the college.

Moreover, the spells taught in the first year are not very difficult; with diligent practice, they can generally be mastered.

Hiring a private tutor for such a simple spell is nothing short of extravagant.

Melina, as the teacher, seemed to have expected this, and didn't even bother to look at Waver and the others, instead focusing her energy on the students who were actually trying to refine spells.

Having students like Weber actually saved Melina some trouble, making her classes easier.

When Elaine saw that Weber had succeeded immediately, she was surprised at first, but gradually understood what had happened from the discussions among her classmates.

When studying at the academy, it's inevitable to encounter situations that leave you feeling powerless.

The resources that the students possess are beyond what Elaine, an ordinary person, could even imagine.

Even though this happened more than once, she still found it hard to get used to it.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Are we really going to lose to that idiot?"

At that moment, Li En's childish urging voice suddenly exploded in Elaine's mind.
