I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

Chapter 107 Magic Theory (1)

"Do any of you have any questions before we start our class?"

Luna Edelfelt showed a brilliant, gentle smile that charmed all of the students in the room.

The students, dazed and charmed, couldn't muster the courage to raise their hand and ask her their questions.

"Well, I do."

Elias observed, reclining his back against the chair calmly. He sized up Luna Edelfelt boldly without restraints.

Seemingly noticing his bold gaze, Luna turned around to meet his eyes and tilted her head in slight confusion.

Her eyes were as beautiful as sapphire. A pair of sea-blue irises that reflected immutable beauty.

It was nothing short of mesmerizing for the soul.

Elias didn't shy away his gaze from her eyes, an amused small smile blooming on his face as they stared at each other.

The students immediately noticed that Luna was looking at Elias' side.

The male students in the room eyes twitched from bitterness, a streak of jealousy and envy erupting from their hearts.

At this moment, Luna kept a composed smile and asked kindly.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I suppose there is. I didn't hear anything about students being allowed to teach other students in the academy. How surprising that the academy allowed this."

Elias replied amusedly, lifting a brow. He then rested his head on his hands casually before he continued.

"But I suppose It's nothing new at all from that master of yours—that unreliable, obnoxious man who does as he please."

"What do you mean by that?"

Luna furrowed her brows into a frown. It was true that she was unsatisfied with her master, but that didn't mean she'll let any insult of him go.

Not to mention his words, it seemed as if he's doubting her... the nerve of this first year!

"Nothing. I'm simply wondering how you're supposedly qualified to teach us, you're a third year student aren't you?"

Elias shook his head and reclined against his chair comfortably, unflinching from Luna's displeased gaze.

At this moment, the students heard his words and suddenly erupted in a heated discussion.

"Wait, she's still a student?"

"Is that why she looks quite young...?"

"Is she qualified to even teach us? How could the academy allow this? I thought they took their classes seriously?"

"Why are you guys even complaining? Isn't this better than being stuck with an old hag or old wizard? Atleast she's kind and beautiful..."

Hearing the words spreading around in the room, Luna frowned and couldn't help but look at Elias.

This is this guy's fault!

Internally, she couldn't help but complain. She painstakingly tried to prevent this from happening...

She already knew that if she introduced herself as a student, it wouldn't go well with the others.

So instead, she just introduced herself as the disciple of her master — Professor Felix — to prevent some controversy.

Luna sighed inwardly. Well, there's go all my preparation...

"Yes, I'm a third year sorcerer student. I can see why may have doubts about my capabilities and qualifications, but rest assured."

"The academy has approved of me being the assistant teacher, so you don't have to worry about it. My master is Professor Felix. I'm Luna Edelfelt, his disciple and a third-year of the academy."

That—silenced the students, at the very least, the name of Professor Felix itself made them quiet.

Who was Professor Felix?

He was the youngest Grand Sorcerer, and arguably the most talented sorcerer in history as well.

He was the idol and inspiration of many young, talented sorcerers that aspired to reach his level someday.

And if Luna Edelfelt was his student... then she was more than qualified to teach at his behest.

The students changed their views almost instantly.

Luna wasn't just beautiful to the eye, she was the student of Professor Felix as well. That made it bearable to be taught by another student.

"Is that the case? How unreliable of that man, throwing his job to his student."

Elias smiled and shook his head. His words were crass and outright disrespectful.

"Respectfully, do not mock or subtly insult my master. I do not care if you doubt me, but your attempts to attack to my master's character is unnecessary."

Luna sharply glared at Elias, but the latter was unaffected and simply stared at her.

Seeing his calm and uncaring gaze, Luna couldn't helped but be vexed internally. Is she being taken as nothing but a joke right now?

So much for her first day of teaching, Luna sighed internally. She was. Not. Getting paid enough to handle this.

'Just another arrogant self-absorbed first year that will be expelled in few months time...'

Luna thought before turning her gaze away. It was quite common for some people like Elias to appear, and most of them turn out to be just all talk.

She wasn't going to waste her time handling a snobbish, arrogant first year that was likely to be expelled in a year.

'Heh, I'll have the last laugh anyway.'

Instead, Luna shook her head and looked at everyone in the hall. With a gentle smile that blinded everyone, she spoke.

"Alright! Enough of that. Let's start the class. The first lesson is about mana and the magic it's capable of..."

***

While Luna was teaching, Hajin couldn't help but lean sidewards and whisper a few words to him.

"It seems our resident MC is picking another girl... not leaving anyone for the common man like me..."

Elias stared at him strangely.

"What are you talking about?"

"Huh?"

Hajin widened his eyes, surprised. He squinted his eyes and made a funny face.

"You weren't doing an elaborate trick to hit on her? I thought that you were doing that cuz you wanted to catch her attention."

"Huh? Absolutely not. Perish that thought."

Elias frowned and shook his head, seemingly repulsed by the idea of acting like that.

"Get your flirtatious ideas out of your head. If I like someone, I wouldn't bother going in a roundabout way to do that."

"Then, why did you corner her like that?"

Now it was Hajin's turn to look at him strangely.

'Well, It did seem like I was trying to bully her or something...'

Elias paused for a moment.

"I was testing something."

To be specific, he was testing one of Luna Edelfelt's talents.

One of her talents was [Mind Eye] an ability that allows her to read another person's thoughts without limit.

In the novel, she had it turned off for most of the time because her experience with it traumatized her.

Furthermore, she didn't want to violate other people's privacy.

Elias was testing if she had it turned on. If she did, she would know his words weren't serious at all.

But it seems like she had it turned off.

That was for the best. If she had it open, he had to limit his thinking because he didn't want any of his thoughts to be leaked.

The consequences would be severe, lightly speaking.

Elias shook his head. In another note, this reminded him of Luna Edelfelt's character in the novel.

Luna Edelfelt was one of the most talented, if not the most talented sorcerer in the current era.

Her talents were on par with Professor Felix, and in some areas, even above the obnoxious man.

Additionally, she was one of the most popular characters in the novel. Her popularity at one point eclipsed even those of the main characters.

But her ending...

Elias could only say it was less than ideal.

"Testing something... You're weird."

Hajin shrugged and fell silent, returning to his place. He looked at Luna, who was teaching on the platform and listened.

Eliss shrugged and shoved his thoughts to the back of his mind. He reclined his back comfortably and listened as well.

"Mana is the fundamental energy of both the universe and the living. Two hundred years ago, we lived without knowing the existence of mana, but it was always there, surrounding us and within us."

"Through research and experimentation, we soon realized the power of Mana. It has th power to bring forth miracles, in otherwords, magic."

"Miracle or Magic, by definition, is creating something out of nothing. Mana is the energy that enables us to do that."

At this moment, Luna paused and waved her hands gently.

Then, on the tip of her fingers, five elements appeared. Fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning.

The students widened their eyes. To be able to accomplish such a feat, it requires high mana sense and talent!

Luna demonstrated while speaking.

"This is magic. A miracle brought forth from nothing using the essence of mana. It could also be called a miracle in other definitions."

Then, with another wave of her hand, the elements vanished like they were never there in the first place.

Under the impressed gaze of the students, Luna couldn't help but wear a giddy smile and continued as she walked around the platform.

"But is bringing forth magic simple? No, not at all. It is the recreation of miracle, it can never be simple."

"To bring forth magic, a sorcerer must have these three necessary requirements; a concentrated mind, mana sense, and sufficient mana reserves. The requirements increases the higher the circle level of the spell."

Then, Luna paused and smiled devilishly. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Elias at the seat.

"Now, who among you can show me how to use magic...?"

"You there, first year."
