Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang listened to the teacher's words.

This was important knowledge!

"Standard spells," the teacher said in his deep voice as he grabbed a piece of chalk.

His arms moved, and in just two seconds, a diagram appeared on the blackboard.

Shang looked with surprise and confusion at the diagram.

It was an octagon, but there were many confusing and senseless lines connecting seemingly random spots inside the octagon.

In the end, a mess of lines and forms could be seen inside the octagon.

Shang had absolutely no idea what this was supposed to represent. He saw no logic in the diagram.

"Mana step," the teacher said as he wrote these two words above the diagram. "As you can see, the V-diagram is in there, symbolizing the access of general Mana. The Lion-Diagram shows a gathering of force. The Z-Diagram shows a transportation of force. The Alpha-Diagram shows the transformation of Mana into physical power. The Side-V shows the release of force."

Shang's eyes widened in surprise.

The teacher explained the confusing diagram in only a couple of sentences and broke it down into something that made sense to Shang.

However, it was still difficult for Shang to discern how the lines were connected exactly. Where do they begin? Where do they end?

"The Mana step is the most common and easiest to learn Element-Neutral Apprentice Rank Spell Mages can learn. It simply gathers Mana and releases it in their feet, allowing them to jump to the side."

"The Invocation of the spell is also counter-proportional, which is the dangerous thing about this spell."

The teacher looked at the two students without red uniforms.
