"Correct," Professor Whitaker replied with a faint smile as she glanced at the raven-haired youth.
She then weaved a simple hand sign and teleported back behind the professor's desk, before continuing her lecture.
Seeing her cast spells with such ease, Adam's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, When a powerful Magus cast spells of lower ranks, they barely need to cast any required spell components. This means complete mastery over lower-ranked spells!
Professor Whitaker was a Rank 3 Magus. When she cast the Rank 2 Spell, Foggy Step, she only needed to weave a simple hand gesture.
Whereas, Adam, who was a Rank 2 Magus, would have to weave complicated hand gestures to cast the same spell.
However, if Adam were to cast a Rank 1 spell, it would be the same as Professor Whitaker casting a Rank 2 spell.
With each advancement in ranks, A Magus's understanding of magic increases. This allows them to cast low-ranked spells with much greater ease.
Adam witnessed this phenomenon when he first acquired the white lotus years ago.
In that apocalyptic scene where thousands of Magi were fighting Magus Julian Stockholm, Adam had seen them summon earthquakes, tsunamis, and meteors with just a wave of their hands.
At higher ranks, intent was all that was needed for the Magus to cast spells!
"The common point between conjuring and teleportation is the Spirit World," Professor Whitaker began. "Objects, creatures, and magical entities are summoned from this mystical realm."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Whereas, when one teleports from one place to another, it is done via the Spirit World."
A young Magus raised her hand wanting to ask a question. Professor Whitaker glanced at her and gestured for her to speak.
"Professor, so when we cast teleportation spells, the Spirit World is used as a conduit?"
"Indeed." The old professor nodded. "The Spirit World acts as a transitional realm or a bridge between two locations in the material world."
"When someone initiates teleportation, they momentarily leave the material world and enter the Spirit World," said Professor Whitaker with a solemn expression.
"The Magus moves through this mystical realm and exits at the target location in the material world. The spell models for transportation spells are highly complicated. They contain the coordinates of the target location.
"Should you make even the slightest of mistakes, it's highly likely that you'll forever be stuck inside the Spirit World."
Professor Whitaker spoke with a grim tone, causing all the students to be overwhelmed by apprehension.
On the surface, teleportation seemed like a fantastical ability, however, it carried great risks. If any line or pattern in the spell model were even slightly out of place, the Magus would be in a world of trouble.
If they were to be trapped inside the Spirit World without any anchor, it was guaranteed that they would die.
After all, the residents of the material world couldn't stay for too long in the Spirit World.
While the rest of the students were trembling in nervousness, Adam had an amused expression on his face.
His lips curled up into a smirk when he thought of the innate skill that he had received from Valerian after establishing the familiar bond.
Spirit World Traversal!
This ability allowed him to enter and exit the Spirit World at will. Unlike others, however, he didn't need an anchor.
At the moment, this ability had quite a few restrictions. Firstly, he was still unable to enter with his physical body. He could only use his soul body to enter the Spirit World.
Before this, in order to enter this mystical realm, he had to take the help of a runic formation that not only separated his soul body from his physical body but also opened a direct portal to the Spirit World.
However, after he had advanced to the Mana Liquefaction Rank, he believed that he could abridge this complicated process.
Hmm, I could enter the Spirit World with the teleportation spell and return whenever I want. Since I don't need an anchor, it makes things very easy for me, he thought to himself excitedly.
If I can tweak the spell model a little, hmm. I can surely work with this, but I would have to deeply research the basics of conjuring and teleportation for that.
Just as Adam was lost in his own world, Professor Whitaker's gaze suddenly fell on him. Seeing him smile foolishly, her eyes narrowed.
Does he still not realize the dangers of the Spirit World? Why is he happy when the rest are scared out of their minds? No, this won't do! She thought to herself incredulously.
"Magus Constantine, are my words that amusing?" She reprimanded the youth.
Adam snapped out of his thoughts and hurriedly wiped the smirk off of his face. He looked at the old professor and said, "Forgive me, Professor, I was just thinking of something else."
"Then would you mind sharing the joke with the rest of the class?" Professor Godfrey flatly said as she crossed her arms.
Adam was speechless. What the heck? Damn it, do I have to come up with a joke now?
In the end, he just decided to lower his head and remain silent. The rest of the class glanced at him and snickered.
A moment ago they were quite afraid about the prospect of teleporting through the Spirit World, but now that they saw Adam getting scolded by the Professor, they started to feel a little better.
Professor Whitaker ignored the dynamic that these new students had with one another. She wasn't bothered about anyone being bullied.
If her students were little children, then it was a different matter. But these students were all young adults; she believed they could take care of themselves.
Not to mention all of them were powerful Rank 2 Magi.
"Explain why we use the Spirit World as the transitional realm for teleportation. What makes this mystical realm so special?"
She asked the raven-haired youth, hoping to thoroughly instill in him the risks and dangers involved in navigating through this foreign realm.
Her plan was to admonish the youth when he didn't come up with a proper response. But surprisingly enough, Adam already knew the answer to this seemingly difficult question.
"The laws of the Spirit World are vastly different from that of the material world," he began.
"This mystical realm facilitates instantaneous travel because of its altered time flow!"
