The rest of the day went unremarkable as well for Aurelian. It was understandable as this was his first day.
The fourth css was about Mathematics which was compulsory for the first three years. Maths was very important for mages as it helped them to calcute the time and formus and much more needed for their spells and magic circles.
Remaining two csses were different for each students.
These csses didn't contribute too much into student's scores or points as they were rather simple and weren't difficult
But these csses were important for something else.
This was when they would meet people from other csses and interact with them.
For the first year Aurelian had chosen history and beast taming.
This world was so massive that one cannot even comprehend it in simple words.
Back home he had only learned history about his own country and some history of the elves and dragons , their staunch enemies.
He was very interested in learning about the history of the so called 'mainnd humans' which incluced the humans from the biggest continent of Hales and the other continent of Samera.
He chose beast taming as he liked it. It was one of his favorite subjects.
One of his mentor back home was a beast tamer and he held him in high regards.
The teacher was a young petite dy with forest green hair.
She seemed very young and was likely so even though appearances were deceptive in this world.
There weren't many gathered here as this was a very obscure subject and unpopur subject.
One had to like beasts and on top of that either have the motivation to tame them or have the talent in beast taming.
Having a talent in beast taming was very rare and no one really wanted to tam beasts anyway. There were much more exciting and time efficient csses for them rather than this.
Seeing that at least 10 students were here made the dy happy and energetic.
She began by asking their names and then started the css.
Aurelian refrained by telling his st name.
From the way she expined things made it clear that she was entusiastic about this topic.
As much as affable and friendly she looked one had to know that this individual was a tier 10 mage and was capable of handing magical beasts. She was strong.
Aurelian keenly listened to the css and was given a crest rabbit to tame on his first day.
Crest rabbits were tier one simple magical beasts. They were very weak and nimble and anyone could defeat them. But unlike regur rabbits these beasts were very aggressive and hostile thus making it hard to tame them and a good challenge.
But Aurelian wasn't a newbie in this. He managed to tame it the first time and without any difficulty leaving all the students shocked.
Taming was basically infusing some of the user's mana into the beast's core.
The beast core was like for beast as mana circle or dantian was for humans , elves, etc.
Everyone had unique mana signature which was just the way how someone handled and interacted with mana.
By imprinting this mana in the beast core , the beast would be influenced by the user and would be 'tamed'.
Obviously the more powerful the beast , the more stronger the user had to be in order to tame it.
Aurelian taming the crest rabbit this fast was very strange to the students . Rarely students attended this css and mostly who did were mages. This guy was a knight. Everyone thought he was here for fun or was just stupid. Seemes like he was not.
"Bravo. That's how you do it, These species are very aggressive but once you handle them with a little force , their flight system kicks in and thats when you use some mana and soothing to calm them. This would force their mind to think of you as caring and benevolent. When their defence system is down thats when you imprint your mana signature in their core. Not the prettiest way but the most effective for a simple minded creature like the crest rabbit."
"Good job Aurelian"
Aurelian had left a good impression on Cire , the beast taming teacher.
Soon this css was concluded as well on a good note and the academy's bell rang indicating the end of csses.
Of course there were club activities until 6 pm but they had to wait for some time before they could join the clubs.
Most of the students had already left by the time Aurelian got to his css.
'what should I do now? roam around some of the complexes?'
Aurelian didn't know what to do for the rest of the day.
'Well I will just py with mittens, I guess.'
Aurelian exited the academy and went to a supermarket to buy some essentials.
He had come te to the academy and didn't have much grocery. At least the prices were cheap compared to the prices listed inside the academy.
As soon as he came home , a white persian cat jumped to his shoulders and licked his face.
"No wait , let me freshen up first mittens, Am I not smelly?"
Mittens didn't stop licking and purring at him.
Seeing that Aurelian let out a small smile.
Mittens had been with him for about 10 years now. It was very important to him.
Soon Aurelian had freshened up and was ying down on his bed watching the ceiling mindlessly, while rubbing the fur of Mittens.
Mittens was curled up besides him and was fast asleep.
'First day gone by just like that huh? I thought it would be more...uhm.. interesting'
Aurelian had great expectations for his first day at the academy. He thought it would start on an expolsive note. Crazy and weird things happening.
But nothing like that happened. It was pin. Too pin.
'Its not like fighting monsters or raiding dungeons where every minute entails some new things and dangers. It's just regur schooling. Rigid and methodical.'
'Also come to think of it, I didn't really talk to anyone except to that girl during the sparring session. Is it even talking ? Everyone by this point would probably have an acquaintance or two.'
Aurelian in all honesty didn't care about having friends or talking to different people. At the same time he didn't mind having some as well. He was neutral on it and didn't particurly have a strong opinion.
But at this pce where everything was new and so different from his home, he had to get someone so atleast he could know how to get around because he wasn't at all confident in his social skills.
'Well I will just let things take its course.'
Aurelian then stopped his mental arguements and decided to read.
He sat on his study and opened a rather very rge book titled 'Intrigues of using a saber '
It went into detail about the saber. The materials usually used to make it , its properties and the common techniques of using it.Most importantly it also went into detail on the different mana used along side it. Ex. fire mana and lightning mana.
Although he had read many books on sabers before many of which written by experts on the field he always felt that there more to be read and understood.
It was true as every new book he read , he learned some new points that helped him in handling his saber effectively.
Although he felt sleepy while reading books that dealt with magecraft when it came to these kinds of books he wasn't sleepy at all.
Reading the book for about two hours , he then had his dinner and went to sleep as he had nothing else to do for the day.
