Last Wish System Chapter 27
Advertisement
When the lesson finished, all the girls congratulated Aizu for her illusion spell.
After that, new students started to arrive to attend the next lecture, none of the students who participated in the Light Elemental Class left because they all would attend the next class.
The next scheduled lesson was the Fire Elemental Class, and that was one of the most popular ones as the fire element spells were powerful, useful, and very cool.
Of course, that class had a lot of guys, so the genders became more balanced than before. Not all the clans were like the Roanmad clan and wanted that their male descendants became only warriors.
All the people who attended the previous class were still seated in the first line while the newcomers had to sit behind them.
That was one of the benefits of attending consecutive lectures. The classroom was big, and in the popular lessons, the ones at the rear had difficulty to hear and see well compared to those on the first line who had higher chances to gain understanding by observing the teacher's demonstrations.
Yale's talent in the fire element wasn't as high as the talent he had in the light element, but he still had a high-grade affinity with fire element, so he also benefited a lot from the lecture.
He wanted to obtain enlightenment and manage to increase his Elemental Affinity like he did when he got the Time Elemental Affinity, but even though fire was one of the common elements, it was still challenging to gain enlightenment and even more so to increase it to a perfect grade affinity.
There was no way of obtaining it in a short time, and that wasn't the kind of thing one could directly seek, being enlightened also implied a lot of luck.
As more students were attending the lesson, the time to show skills also increased compared to the previous class, twenty students asked to expose their spells to get the evaluation from the teacher.
As those spells were dangerous ones, they directed the spells to the teacher in order to avoid accidents happening to the other students.
The first one to show was a girl who attended the previous class, and she had a pretty good result, the fireball she generated was small but stable and obtained praise from the teacher.
Among the others, only two of them managed to do it better than the first girl, the others weren't able to stabilize their flames, and some of them almost caused an accident by losing their control over the fire, fortunately, their flame strength was low so dissipated before turning into a problem.
The twenty students finished, and as there was still some time until the end of the class, the teacher wanted to continue teaching about the fire spells.

However, at that moment, Aizu stood up and also asked to show a spell.
No one expected that she would ask to show a spell at that moment, it wasn't normal to wait until everyone finished to ask for it, but there wasn't any rule against it.
The students who attended the previous class were surprised that she managed to learn two spells, as usually a 1-star erudite had enough focusing on one. That showed that Aizu had outstanding talents.
The truth was that Aizu had two Perfect grade Elemental Affinities and a Perfect grade Magic Talent, and in their whole promotion, she was considered one of the more talented students.
Of course, those two elements were light and fire; Aizu had trained both of them, but she had better success with the light element and thought only to show that one.
Even if her talents weren't as shocking as Ange's ones, she still was still regarded as someone with potential by the academy, so as long as she practices diligently, fulfilling her objective obtaining protection from the academy was possible. After all, the talent from someone was still just that, talent. Unless one had a heaven's defying talent that should be nurtured no matter what, one needed to turn that talent into real abilities to be treated seriously.
However, her results in the previous lesson weren't perfect due to Yale's existence, even if that was unavoidable, and there was no problem with her spell.
So, when she verified that no one had used a flame spell better than the one she trained, she decided to also show her own fire spell.
Yale was also surprised, but he knew a Combined Skill, which was even harder to learn than two spells, so even though he was surprised, he wasn't as shocked as the others.
He had the luck to obtain his current power due to a lot of factors, and if he could have good fortune, others also could have it. And Yale also knew that there were other highly talented members of his generation like George and Zack. Aizu showing that she managed to learn two spells, only made her the third member of the list on Yale's mind.
Aizu walked until she stood in front of the teacher and Yale focused on her for the first time because before he had his head full of other things, and Aizu's illusion spell which couldn't affect him, so it wasn't enough to take her talent seriously. However, as she showed the second spell when she was still in the 1-star, Yale decided to pay more attention to her as he already considered her as another highly talented student.
When Yale carefully observed her, he had to recognize that Aizu was an adorable girl, although he hadn't any real experience judging a girl's appearance, only the knowledge of her sister pointing out girls while teasing him in the past.

Based on what he learned from Ange, Aizu could be considered a very cute girl. However, he could also feel something good about her, but he wasn't able to identify what immediately.
As Aizu started to chant her spell and a little stable fireball began to appear, Yale finally recognized what the thing that called his attention was.
That was Aizu's hairstyle; her hairstyle was almost the same as his sister's.
Then, Yale thought about how Aizu's voice and tone sounded when she pronounced Ange's name; there was admiration in her voice.
Yale knew how famous his sister was, so it wasn't surprising that some girls in his class were fans of her. He would be more surprised if there were someone who didn't know her.
He had also read in books that some girls liked to imitate the hairstyles of the people they admired, but he wasn't sure if Aizu had that hairstyle for that reason, or if it was only a coincidence.
Aside from Yale, the other students were becoming more shocked than before as Aizu's fireball was already the biggest of all the fireballs displayed by the students, and it was still growing without becoming unstable, which showed that Aizu's limit had yet to be reached.
Becoming famous in the academy was an essential point to Aizu, so when she saw the look on her classmates' faces, she became delighted.
Even the teacher was nodding to her with an approving face, so her mood became even better and started to grow overconfident, sometimes too much praise wasn't the best for a ten years old kid.
After seeing that even the teacher was pleased with her show, she looked at Yale, also expecting to see a shocked expression on his face.
However, although Yale was looking at her, he wasn't showing any expression as he only seemed to be lost in thought.
Then, Aizu's mood worsened as she thought that her spell wasn't impressive enough and continued to increase the fireball. She had already surpassed the biggest size she obtained while she had been training it, she was being too impulsive and exceeding her own limits due to her overconfidence.
Of course, Yale, at that moment, was comparing Aizu to her sister, even though it was only in hairstyle. He also had thought that she had a cute appearance, and after seeing her talent, he added her into his list of talented classmates.
If Aizu knew that Yale was lost in thought because of those reasons, she would be delighted to be compared to her idol and being recognized as a talent by Yale who she considered to have mysterious talents.
Of course, she would also be pleased with the part about her appearance, a young girl like her liked to be praised.
However, Aizu didn't know that and wanted to show her talent to Yale, and that only lead to exceeding herself and courting disaster.
Yale suddenly changed his expression as a system alert appeared in his head.
[The system has detected an uncontrolled spell near the user, please activate defensive measures.]
The only one who was casting a spell was Aizu. Although the spell didn't seem without control, if the system said that it was uncontrolled, then Yale believed it.
"You are losing the control of the spell, don't get distracted! Stop its growth and dissipate the spell!"
Yale shouted without thinking about anything else.
The fireball was already too big, so if she ultimately lost the control of it, an accident would happen without any doubt. The best outcome would be that she dissipated the spell before anything else happened.
After hearing Yale, the teacher focused her attention on the fire spell and then saw that Aizu was really starting to lose the control of it.
Furthermore, with her experience, she knew that the size was too big to let an ordinary1-star erudite retake the control of it.
However, the teacher didn't try to stop Aizu's spell as she went to cast a defensive spell to protect the rest of the class.
That was her primary duty. As a teacher, she couldn't let the other students get harmed due to an error from a single student, and stopping Aizu didn't guarantee that no one else would be injured.
As for Aizu, who had lost the control of her spell, if the teacher could also help her then very well, if not, then that was Aizu's own fault, and Aizu wouldn't be able to blame anyone if she got harmed since that was her own mistake.
Aizu also noted that she was losing the control of the spell, but she wasn't able to regain it. At least, she managed to stop its growth, but the spell was already too big.
At that distance, she wouldn't be able to escape to the teacher's shield or evade the uncontrolled fireball even if she could move.
Aizu was unable to move as she received a backlash for losing the control of the spell. It didn't matter that she stopped the growth of the spell, the fact that it was already without control wouldn't change.
Furthermore, she didn't know any protective magic that could be used to protect herself; she did only learn the illusion spell and that fireball of which she lost the control.
After shouting, Yale didn't wait until the teacher quickly cast a shield, he went towards Aizu and used all his Origin Points to create a five-times larger than usual Frost Claw.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
