�Hello, my name is Shirone Arian. Starting today, I will be taking Class 7 with you all. Please take good care of me.�

The students welcomed him with applause.

While the upperclassmen were happy that one more student was included in their list of lowerclassmen, the female students were happy for the new addition of one more good-looking male.

However, among the students, there were some who looked displeased. It was hostility toward a future competitor.

Ignoring everyone�s thoughts regarding the newcomer, Ethella began her class.

�Alright class, let�s begin. What is the Spirit Zone?�

�The mind of a mage.�

�Yes. The Spirit Zone is the embodiment of the mind. The very first form is a sphere. But in practice, the shape of a sphere might sometimes be inefficient.�

Ethella entered a magic device called �Image Zone.�

A magic circle with concentric circles was drawn on the smooth floor. It looked similar to the place where kids took the entrance test.

Since the floor disappeared and a black space appeared, Ethella looked like she was floating.

In that state, when her Spirit Zone with a diameter of about 10 meters was opened, students could surprisingly see that the shape of the Spirit Zone was visible.

�This is the Image Zone I�ve only heard of!�

To materialize your mind into reality.

It was a device that could not be made without the highest level of magic engineering� And huge sums of money.

However, since the students could now physically see the Spirit Zone, it made teaching lessons in regards to the Spirit Zone a lot easier, which also helped the students excel even more.�

That was one of the reasons why Alpheas Magic Academy was part of the top 5 prestigious academies in the kingdom.

Ethella walked around comfortably, as if she did not enter the Spirit Zone, and continued to explain.

�This is the basic form of the Spirit Zone. It takes up all the space equally. However, in an actual fight, more often than not, you will not have the opportunity to use the entire space. Let me give you an example.�

When Ethella flicked her finger, a target appeared 20 meters away.

�With a diameter of only 10 meters, you won�t be able to affect the target with magic. As such, you would have no choice but to either move towards them or increase the size of your Spirit Zone. However, simply changing the size of your Spirit Zone isn�t something you can do on a whim� But by changing the shape, you can do something like this.�

Ethella�s Zone lengthened in the direction of the target. It had the same volume but was able to reach the target by changing its shape.

�The shape of your mind dictates the shape of your Spirit Zone. And then��

Ethella held out her hand and chanted.

�Fire.�

Fire burst out and burned the target 20 meters away. The eyes of the new students who were in their first-ever class popped open. Ethella, who had been taken lightly because of her gentle appearance, suddenly looked imposing.

�However, there is a fatal problem when using this method.�

Due to Ethella�s words, the new students were embarrassed after hearing that the demonstration a while ago was actually an example of something bad.

�The shape of the Zone can vary. However, having to change the shape every second in a battle is inefficient. So mages use a specific pattern to decrease its inefficiency. And they do it through the Spirit Zone�s four patterns, the Four Way Formation.

Shirone�s heart started pounding after hearing the concept for the first time. JrNovels.com
