An Extra’s POV

779 Classroom Incident

"You there… R'ai, was it? Could you answer the question I just posited?"

Almost as soon as soon as the question was raised, Rey snapped out of his deep thoughts and slowly returned his gaze to the Instructor who stood still and smiled at him.

Her smile seemed rather scary, not the kind and soft one she usually displayed.

Instructor Kar'eena was infamous for getting pissed at students who weren't paying attention in her class, and it was clear she had caught Rey spacing out. Still, since he was a newcomer and she was quite merciful, she gave him a saving grace.

If he could answer the question she posed—which was asked when he wasn't paying attention—she would let him off the hook.

And so, she stood there and waited for his response.

Tension easily soared in the class as Rey's classmates turned to look at him, their faces displaying multifarious emotions—mostly giving eyes of empathy.

It was clear that a few of them had also fallen victim to the same tactic by this Instructor.

"I believe you asked about the method of properly stabilizing a newly formed Mana Circle once it has been created." Rey suddenly said as he rose to his feet.

Gasps and surprised reactions filled the classroom.

There was no way he would have been called if he was listening in class, especially with Kar'eena smiling the way she was, which meant he must have been absent-minded.

Yet, he was able to perfectly replicate the question the same way she asked it.

"Yes. And can you tell me the answer to that question?" The slightly surprised Instructor still doubled down on her question, despite Rey's response.

After all, it was one thing to remember the question, and it was another to pay attention throughout the class.

for Rey, he surpassed the expectations

close to the heart for an extended period of time, so the newly created Mana Circle eventually becomes self-sustaining. The more efficient method is to use Enchanted Items—like the one this Academy has—to insert secondary Mana into the body, which takes on the form of the individual's own Mana in order to feed the Circle and make it stable. There's also the Liquid Supplement version being devised at the moment, but since it is still incomplete—particularly the stabilizing aspect of Mana Integration—the product
