Master Lisa's teaching method is much gentler and more meticulous compared to other instructors, even with just over twenty apprentices in the classroom.
The Positive Energy Principle is a rather vague subject, which encompasses many branches of knowledge based on the Basic Knowledge of the Positive Energy Principle.
Although the Positive Energy Principle also falls under Basic Knowledge, if it is not mastered well, even if one grasps other branches in the future, it will be difficult to establish a relevant Positive Energy Spell Model.
However, even though the Positive Energy Principle is a major course, few choose it due to its positive effects on living beings.
After all, Elgreen is a war-torn area; unless one decides to pursue a logistics role as a wizard in the future, they are unlikely to choose it.
"Due to the nature of Positive Energy Particles, while most have positive effects on living beings, if you study this subject, you might face significant drawbacks later on," Master Lisa said softly from the podium. "You must understand that if Positive Energy Spells are used properly, they can produce terrifying effects—not in terms of lethality but in enhancing living beings. For instance, the acceleration effect of Positive Energy Particles from the Wind Element and the defensive and strength-enhancing effects from the Positive Energy Particles of the Earth Element. The application of these Positive Energies depends on how they are used at the right time. Today we will discuss the identification of Positive Energy Particles. Do you have any questions before we begin?"
"Instructor, you mentioned before that every type of Energy Particle has both positive and negative aspects. Now that you've covered one side of Positive Energy, could you discuss the effects of Negative Energy Particles across various elements?" A short but mature-looking boy sitting in the front row stood up and asked earnestly. "Also, regarding Positive Energy, is there really no Spell that directly causes harm?"
This boy is among the top three in learning ability in the entire classroom, and his questions are quite targeted.
"Truly impressive for someone from the Chekhov Family; Ron's current level is probably not far from being a Third-Rank Apprentice. After all, he is only thirteen years old," Kaidy remarked from the back.
"Only thirteen?" Freya squinted at the boy who asked the question. Although he was only about 1.6 meters tall, his square face bore signs of hardship, and he had a patch of thick stubble at the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for his relatively youthful voice, one would hardly guess his age.
"Indeed, one should not judge by appearances..."
Despite her doubts about Ron's appearance, Freya acknowledged his learning ability and the quality of his questions as impressive. Even compared to her own intellect now, he was quite formidable. Perhaps he was truly a prodigy.
"Yes, Ron's question is excellent," Lisa nodded and smiled at him appreciatively. "In fact, Positive Energy Particles are not absolutely beneficial to living beings. There was once an Archmage of the Positive Energy System who invented a Spell Model that accelerated biological blood flow by studying living beings' adaptation limits to Positive Energy. This Spell was originally intended to treat those frozen by Ice Magic through revival spells; however, he added an expansion-type Spell Model using Fire Element Positive Energy Particles based on this Spell Model. Ultimately, it formed a terrifying Spell that could drastically accelerate and expand blood flow. We now call this Spell 'Blood Explosion Technique,' and I believe you have all heard something about this advanced Spell."
Hearing the name of the Spell mentioned by Lisa at the end, the apprentices in the classroom stirred slightly, even Ron, who had asked the question, fell into contemplation.
Satisfied with the apprentices' reactions, Lisa gently pressed her hands down to signal for silence.
"I give this example to tell you that there is also instability within Positive Energy. Different enhancement Spells combined together might become a powerful destructive Spell. This could be even more terrifying than the Spells of the Negative Energy System. However, what you need to do now is to master all the Basic Knowledge of the Positive Energy Principle. Regardless of what specialization you choose in the future, the Positive Energy Principle will play an indispensable role for you."
Lisa's teachings left most of the apprentices looking shocked to varying degrees, while only a few fell into deep thought, as if they had gained some inspiration from that example.
Freya was one of them.
Due to her solid grasp of Basic Knowledge, she understood much more than the average apprentice. In fact, if she were to express it in her own words, Energy Particles do not necessarily need to be categorized as positive or negative; labeling them based on their beneficial or harmful effects on living beings is merely a subjective perspective.
Some Negative Energy Particles might actually have beneficial effects on the body under specific circumstances, while positive Energy Particles could potentially have the opposite effect.
From what Lisa said, she further confirmed her thoughts; however, this idea requires certain experiments to verify its correctness.
"However, before confirming my hypothesis, it’s more important to earn some Magic Stones first... otherwise, everything is just wishful thinking."
Watching Master Lisa, who was already engaged in formal teaching, Freya silently made her decision.
Soon, the brief lesson came to an end.
Half an hour later.
In the crowded hall behind the Academy Trading Area, Freya and Kaidy were entering through the main door.
The hall felt somewhat cramped due to the large number of people, most of whom were apprentices dressed in Gray Robes, while a small portion wore black or white robes as Official Wizards of the academy.
Despite the crowd, everyone seemed to have an unspoken agreement to keep the noise down, speaking in hushed tones.
In the center of the hall stood three large boards folded in half, with pages displaying tasks rapidly sliding past and refreshing.
Freya glanced at the boards and noticed that most of the tasks listed were patrols or material gathering, with danger levels and issuer requirements thoughtfully marked next to each task. However, the amount of Magic Stones awarded for completing these tasks was generally unsatisfactory.
"Stop looking; since it's your first time here, we need to register your profile first," Kaidy said quietly as he noticed Freya curiously staring at the Mission Board. "Once you're registered, you can take on tasks. Besides accepting tasks, you can also write about your skills and what kind of work you're looking for in your profile and post it on the task board so that someone can hire you."
"Do you know what type of tasks yield Magic Stones the fastest?" Freya asked suddenly as she pulled her gaze away.
She had been a Second-Class Apprentice for a month now and had nearly grasped all the relevant Basic Knowledge. The remaining knowledge required payment, and as a Second-Class Apprentice aiming to advance to Third Rank, she needed some special materials to enhance her abilities, which required more Magic Stones than just one or two.
