Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 134 [Bonus ]First Activity Class

"This [Spirit Bind] spell is really interesting. I wonder how that mountain appeared with such clear-cut details and arrangements of trials in it," Yonish said curiously as he and the other five head teachers sat down at a round table with Headmaster Noril sitting on the main chair. "Master, do you know about this?"

"Such phenomenons appear in Astral Land, but they are still rare," Headmaster Noril caressed his beard while smiling. "This spell is basically for couples and family members who can meet the requirements. If our students who are in pairs can meet requirements when using this spell, they can benefit a lot when entering each other's magic labyrinths to help."

"Indeed," said Karina, a lady wearing an eastern white dress and a long violet ponytail. "Jay, do you want to try this spell with me? If my magic eidos body can enter your magic labyrinth, I can help you with the problem you are facing inside," she said smilingly while looking at a man with short black hair wearing a casual black shirt.

"Ho ho ho, you can try," Noril said laughingly as he looked at Jay.

"Please don't tease me," Jay wryly smiled. "If my wife found it out, she will kill me. I already got her shell call from Astral Land and told me to go there since a similar phenomenon, but on a grander scale, appeared there at multiple locations."

"Master, there were still some students who missed out on this opportunity. Should we take them to the mountain in the morning?" said Ralph, a middle-aged man with short, dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.

"Announce it in the morning and round up all students who missed out on it," Headmaster Noril nodded. "Everyone should learn this spell and use it. Even if they fail with their current partners, they can eventually use it after they find someone who can meet the requirements."

…

At 5 AM, a middle-aged man arrived at the Abode area with a watermelon-sized bell in his hand. He moved the bell after infusing mana into it, and it started ringing loudly, spreading a tolling sound in the entire Abode area.

"All students who have yet to go to the floating mountain must arrive at the dock in the next thirty minutes!"

Inside 4th hill's abode, Zevien and Vernisia got ready and prepared to go there just for the show, even though they're already spirit-bound.

Soon, they went to the dock area and entered the big ship with many other people.

Headmaster Noril was also there as he swept his glance across the boat. "This is the last round. If any other people who missed this, they will have to go to the floating mountain on their own."

After waiting for several more minutes, the ship took off at exactly 5:30 in the morning and flew towards the floating mountain.

Soon, they arrived at the giant floating mountain with twenty-five trial cave entrances; so twenty-five pairs could enter at a time.

While waiting for their turn, Zevien and Vernisia started training.

Zevien focused on comprehending the spell concept of the Tier-4 magic spell [Ruination Mist Cannon] while Vernisia was learning the spell concept of a Tier-3 spell [Shadow Bolt] that she got from her first relic, Restore Stone's dungeon. Restore Stone was a more impactive relic, as it only gave one try to Vernisia.

*****

[Restore Stone]

-Type: Relic

-Maximum uses: 1

-1st Effect: This relic will automatically activate once you die and restore your health and body condition to any instance of your choice from 48 hours prior to your death.

Note: If you are killed by an Adepta-rank magic spell or higher, the relic will not work.

*****

Vernisia wanted to learn that Tier-3 magic spell [Shadow Bolt] just for the future. It's always good to hoard magic spells by learning their spell concept and spell formation, so you can combine them to create more powerful spells, or they might just come in handy in some situation.

After two hours, Zevien and Vernisia's turn arrived as they entered a cave entrance for the trial. However, after entering the cave entrance, the scenery changed into a marble hall, but none of the challenges got activated.

"Maybe because we are already spirit bound?" Zevien wondered.

"Yeah, that should be the case," Vernisia nodded wryly. "I actually wanted to see the trial."

"Well, let's just stay here for twenty to thirty minutes and then leave."

Vernisia nodded as she and Zevien continued moving forward and stopped in the middle of the cave before continuing with their spell concept learning.

Twenty-five minutes later, they left the hall as there was an exit door.

…

At 9 PM, the ship went back to the academy.

At 10 PM, all new students were called to the Star-Sky Ground, which was one kilometer away from the Abode area.

"Hi, Zevien," Jacky said as he greeted Zevien with a smile. "When are you going to join the clan you spoke about?"

Jacky and Leena approached Zevien and the gang.

"A week later," Zevien said before he rubbed his chin. "So you two are a pair?"

"Yep," Leena nodded with a grin, "it's better to pair up with someone you know."

"Did you two succeed in learning the [Spirit Bind] magic spell?" Erica asked curiously.

"We didn't make an attempt yet," Jacky shook his head. "We will do it a month later."

Leena nodded with a smile. "It's better to get to know each other more and meet the requirements in our head before attempting to use the spell."

"It looks like everyone is here," Roman said as he, Helin, Tigger, and Tigger's partner walked towards Zevien's group.

Tigger's partner was a slim man with shoulder-length, ashen gray hair. His name was Uwan.

? "It's time for our first big activity as pairs," Uwan said as an excited smile formed on his pale face.

"Attention here, all students!"

All students looked up and saw a beautiful lady wearing a traditional eastern white embroidery dress floating in the air on a cloud.

"I am Karina, one of the head teachers of this academy," Karina smiled as she crossed her arms over her ample bosom. "Today, you will be going through some hurdles and pain but will also get rewards according to your performance. Get ready for your first pair activity class: Wild Magic Call!"
