The Golden Throne

After she was done, Ameila went to stand on the back of the line with a sweaty face. She panted, and was clearly exhausted.

"That does not make sense. Don't mages absorb the mana into their bodies to become stronger? Why is she so weak physically?". Liu Feng asked Avian.

"You are just spoiled. As you have contracted four spirits of different elements, you will be able to absorb more mana than others. You have mana to spare to strengthen your body. Most mages don't have that luxury."

Liu Feng nodded, and he stopped caring about Ameila. It looked like his dream love story died before it started. He started to pay attention to his professor.

"Hello children. I am your self-defence teacher, Marcus. I will be helping you improve your physical state. Looking at your pitiful state, I think it will take quite a while. But I'll do what I can."

Many students grumbled. They were obviously incensed by the comments of the teachers. Liu Feng thought about it and he was impressed by their strategy. By incensing the students, they would work harder just out of spite. Marcus continued,

"Now I am sure that most of you have started training with the sword, much like this one.". He raised a standard army sword up for everyone to see.

"Now my classes will not allow this sword to enter the class for the next five months. You will have to learn how to use other weapons to learn what weapon fits your personality, and your physique.".

He then brought over a few buckets of weapons and laid them out for everyone to see. Now, I will call everyone out one by one alphabetically, so please come forward and take your pick. You will change your weapon every week and no repetitions are allowed. Ideally, you have to do this for a few years, but we do not have time in our hands. So we will have to make do with a week for each weapon."

Marcus started calling out each student one by one. There were about fifty students in the class, so Liu Feng expected it to take a while. When Amelia was called, she picked the bow, which Liu Feng subconsciously expected. Most of the men took heavy swords, while the women took light swords. When it was finally Liu Feng's turn, he took a good look at the weapons. As he was going to be declared a fire mage later, he had the close combat figured out. He wanted a long range weapon for now. He took a spear and weighed it. It seemed that this would do for his first week. Marcus warned him, "You might want to use something else, as using the spear will be hard without good strength and flexibility."

Liu Feng nodded, but stayed with his decision. Marcus left him and continued to call out students. After everyone picked a weapon, he said, "Now every weapon has its specialty, and I cannot possibly know how to use them all expertly. So, each weapon has its own expert teacher, and you will be with that person for the remainder of the week. Now all those who took the heavy sword, please follow me, I will guide you this week. Why are all of you boys? Isn't a single girl interested? Pity.". Marcus left with his group. Liu Feng and the others waited around for about five minutes, when a group of teachers came to collect their students. There were very few people outside the sword category, maybe one or two in each, and Liu Feng was all alone with the spear. The teacher of the spear went to Liu Feng and he said,

"Are you sure that you want to take the spear? It is a relatively hard weapon to use if you do not have a strong body.. You will suffer immediately."
