Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Their afternoon classes were practical spell skills. Everyone brought their Familiars to this class, and the location changed based on the spell being taught. Today was a defensive spells day, so they were arranged in rows inside large protective circles made of metal and set out all over the classroom. For today, the location of choice was an enclosed field with a grass floor and a large number of small red flowers.

Each student was given a three-meter diameter space for everyone's safety, where they could sit and wait with their Familiar while the teacher went over the spell circle.

This one was one called Flame Armor, the most simple of multi-purpose defensive spells, according to the teacher. The one the girls had been practicing last night was something more in tune with their innate magic, but this elemental spell was something Wolfe could use. In order to create the armour spell with their innate magic, they needed a strong, stable aura, and a good grasp on their abilities, which most of these Witches didn't have yet.

The [Flame Armour] could be activated from an inscription circle with only the most rudimentary of knowledge, and a fire element reagent, in this case, the simple red flower that grew all over the classroom floor. They didn't even need to pick them, just sit between them. That combination was much easier for them to learn in their first class.

The circle seemed to resonate with him, and before the teacher had finished explaining all the runes and their meaning, Wolfe was certain that he could cast this spell.

[Bless the Witches for stealing so much of their modern magic from the Magi] he thought to himself as the Inheritance notified him of success with a glowing string of runes on his arm

[First Spell Visualization Successful]

Wolfe was sitting in between his two Witches, so he reached both arms out to take their hands while they tried to visualize the spell to cast it without a talisman.

The moment they touched him, the spell flashed to life around all three of them, and the girls gasped in shock.

"That's it. I get it now." Cassie mumbled happily.

"Did you see the visualization when you touched my hand?" Wolfe whispered back, and they both nodded.

That was going to be incredibly useful. Not only was he learning spells, but he would also be able to teach them to a pair of combat-capable Witches with just a touch. Ones who were rapidly growing stronger while in contact with him.

Now he just needed to convince the Professor to teach him more. She said they were going to be working on this spell all week because it was important, but all three of them had it working somewhat correctly in the first fifteen minutes.

Wolfe fed a bit of mana to both Ella and Cassie, making the Spell grow thicker until they could barely see through the orange glow. If they could have seen, they would have realized that the entire class was staring at them in shock at this accomplishment.

Both Witches dropped the spell and looked around, satisfied with their performance for the class, but it was Flame, the small fire element lizard, who caught Wolfe's attention.

It seemed to be pleading for assistance from a cushion on the floor while Reiko kept nudging it back onto the cushion and out of the way while she practiced.

"Reiko, pick up Flame and let him push a bit of mana into you. He knows the spell, and he can show you." Wolfe called over to her.

She looked skeptical, but as soon as she touched Flame, a faint orange glow surrounded her, and she gasped in shock.

"Elemental Familiars will shape your future. They help your understanding and build your strength. Familiar Wolfe might have sped up the process, but eventually, Miss Reiko would have learned to trust and rely on her Familiar." The teacher explained from the far side of the room, where she was busy helping a Witch in the second row of students.

"Tell me, what made you call out to her?" The teacher's next question caught Wolfe off guard. He had been engrossed in transferring mana back and forth with Cassie and Ella and had forgotten she was still here.

"He was giving me the most sad-looking pleading face. I couldn't let Flame suffer that frustration." Wolfe shrugged.

"The fierce Armored Salamander was giving you a pitiful look?" She asked in disbelief.

"He's not really fierce, he's cuddly and adorable, but he only likes when Reiko touches him. He's very territorial." Wolfe explained, and there was no mistaking the fact that Flame nodded in agreement.

"Interesting. Is that the skill you got from the Familiar Bond? Communicating with animals?" The teacher asked.

"No, this is just common sense. Flame is very smart, maybe even smarter than Pup. If you pay close attention and don't look at him as a pet or baby, he knows a lot of things." Wolfe replied with a smile.

Flame made a happy puff of fire while Pup lightly growled at Wolfe before flopping back down on the floor next to Mary.

The teacher looked a bit disturbed but began a new lecture anyhow. "As you see, you can trust your Familiar to help you. They are essential parts of your growth journey, so treat them well and keep them happy. Now, who had questions about the spell circle."

Don't worry. I'll treat you well and keep you happy." Wolfe whispered to Cassie and Ella, who both flipped him off in return, then activated the [Flame Armor] without touching his hands, showing that they already understood it on their own and could use it without drawing mana from him or their Talismans.

"You two, stay back after class with your Familiar. We have something to talk about. The rest of you are dismissed." The teacher announced after three more gruelling hours of watching the other Witches try to master the spell.

Even playing rock, paper, scissors with Flame had gotten boring by the end of class. It was just too slow-paced.

"It seems that your Familiar is easily bored, but do try to keep it from disrupting the class." The teacher admonished them as soon as the other students were gone.

"Yes, Professor." The Witches answered in unison.

"Good. We will be working on this vital defensive skill all week, so perhaps get him a book or something to keep him occupied. You may go now."

They all left the class, and once they were safely out of earshot, Wolfe began to laugh.

"Get him a book or something." Wolfe mimicked the teacher's haughty tone with heavy sarcasm.

"Give me a spell book, and you wouldn't have to waste an entire week on one single spell. Seriously, even Flame can teach Fire magic faster than that, and he can't speak or read." Wolfe laughed, making them both turn to him in shock.

"You understood the spell?" Ella asked.

"I thought that part was obvious? I should be good with some other Elements as well." Wolfe added, hopefully.

"We are so going to crush the elemental magic exams." Cassie giggled, gaining a little jump in her step.
