"Today, I will teach you the weakness elemental magic has," Shire stated.
"Everyone understands the most common elements are fire-water-earth-lightning-wind-light-darkness."
"Mmhmm," The class nodded.
Shire continued, "The concept of one element being the strongest cannot be applied. Each element is weak against another. For instance, wind magic is weak to fire as wind magic would increase the output of fire magic. While fire magic is weak against water as water quenches it."
As Shire explained this to everyone, he displayed it in his hand. Wind magic was flown into the fire, causing the fire to burn brighter. And then water quenching the fire.
"Today's class will be testing your defensive capabilities. We will have you split into different groups based on what you wrote as your main attribute."
"What did you write as your main attribute, Keith?" Carolyn nudged his back,
"I wrote earth magic."
"Eh? Shouldn't it be lightning?" Carolyn questioned. Keith was great at using lightning magic.
"I am. But I don't need to focus on that," Keith's lightning and wind magic abilities were high. There was no need for the professors to teach him. He wanted to focus on the others.
"Oh," Carolyn sighed.
"Why do you sound so unhappy?"
"Because I wanted to fire magic at you,"
The beastmen and dwarves walked out of the classroom without a thought. Like that, half of the class was left! But Shire could care less about this,
"Those with water magic, come up and switch in! The fire mages will be firing at them this time!" Like that, they continued, but when it came for the turn with earth and water,
There are not enough earth mages. There was an unequal number of students. Keith scratched his head. What should we do about this?
"Keith, you will make earth pillars for the missing students," Shire declared.
"Understood!" Keith nodded. Like that, multiple earth pillars formed from the ground. The water mages fired their magic at it, and the earth absorbed it.
"Next up is the lightning mages," Shire stated as he turned to Keith, "I will leave it up to you,"
"Understood," Keith nodded as he cast more earth spears. There was a row of earth magic in front of the students.
Without a second later, the earth spears fired, landing on the lightning shields. But when that happened,
"Kya!" A student cried as she quickly ducked down from the earth spear.
"Are you alright?!" Keith quickly walked over to the student.
"I'm fine," The student nodded her head. The earth spear flew over her head.
"Phew,"
"That's the other effect. If you add enough mana, the magic will pierce through even with the weakness." Shire stated.
"Make sure to hold your magic back. It's practice, understand?"
"Understood." Keith nodded. Like that, Keith and the rest continued on with the practice.
