"Say Angus, how come you are also exempt from the combat training exercise?" asked Princess Jayna that stood beside him curiously.
After the class competition accident, Princess Jayna is also exempted from any kind of combat and physical training in case her [Possession] state comes out.
Her [Possession] state is very dangerous and could destroy the whole academy at any moment. They took a huge precaution and forbid her to do any kind of training.
Normally, they will cage her inside the Grand Palace until she manages to control her [Possession] state.
However, after relentlessly pestering his father (the king) and his mother (the queen), she finally permitted to return to the royal academy but under heavy protection and monitoring.
Hearing her question, Angus gave a pose of thinking before replying, "I am not sure, maybe because I traumatized from the class competition incident."
"Ehh… Bu-But… You are…" as she feels being wronged at this moment.
"But what?? I have some trauma now and could not fall asleep for days because of that incident." added Angus.
"NOO.. You are lying!!" Said the Princess in distraught
"Pfftt… Hahaha…" Suddenly Angus laughing very hard.
Finally, Princess Jayna notices that she is being played by Angus. "Grr… Angus!!" As she tried to punch him.
However, none of Jayna's predictable punches could land at him. While Angus dodges all the punches easily, he also runs around while Princess Jayna keeps following him.
Later they stop because of being lectured by Teacher Elis to not play around and observe the others seriously. The princess wanted to rebuke that it was Angus's fault but looking at her teacher glare, she could only stay silent.
After staying silent and looking at the combat training for a while, "Hey, Angus…"
"Hmm?" [Angus]
"Why did you hide your strength? I am not a fool you know? the others could not dodge my punch easily. Even Ian has a hard time dodging my punch. But you..." She stops and looks at Angus.
But, she found that Angus was already 'sleeping' while in the sitting position. Looking at this, the princess immediately explodes in anger and punches Angus.
However, like always, Angus suddenly wakes up and easily dodge her by hair breath. Soon, both of them begin to run around like playing a tag between two kids.
Looking at this, "Both of you, stop playing around!!" Rebuked teacher Elis once again.
'Damn it, If you two have excessive energy to run around, why not just partake in the class as well. Huff… I need a raise.' Lament teacher Elis silently.
Soon, the practical combat training is done. Then, teacher Elis continued her lesson about the difference of skills and spells.
Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Skills could be used immediately and easier to learn. Spells are harder to learn and used but more versatile.
In the case of the power aspect, both could be said almost the same. Skills could become stronger according to the users proficiency and mana purity. While spells may have a fixed range of damage but could still be improved if they are overcharged with mana.
Because of this reason, mana became a very important factor in the battle. So, Teacher Elis starts to teach many ways to conserve mana. One of them is by having a better control over their own mana.
There are several exercises to improve control over mana. One of them is by doing a set of movements or exercise while making the mana flowing inside the body.
Looking at the movement set, Angus immediately knows that his exercise is better than it by many times in terms of effect. However, he also intrigues since teacher Elis also said that high noble families also have their own set of mana control practices.
Because of this reason, teacher Elis didn't dwell in this lesson too much, only telling her student to remind students to keep practising their mana control to reduce their mana consumption.
Judging by the reaction of the others, Angus notices that all of them already have their own way to practice mana control since most of them come from high backgrounds.
Especially Wylda, the water spell user. During the first combat training lesson, she could use [Aqua Ball] a few times before being exhausted.
This kind of feat is only possible if she has great mana control since her mana capacity should not cover it.
It seems only him that didn't know about his own family mana control exercise. However, to be taught about mana control exercise, he needs to have at least a certain amount of mana first.
Since Angus never paid attention towards his tutor before and his mana capacity is small, he never got a time to be taught about mana control exercise.
Fortunately, Angus already has his own mana control exercise from his past life. Although it is actually a chi control exercise but it actually produces the same result since both energy is same yet also different.
Otherwise, it will be a hassle for him to ask for mana control exercise from his father. Everyone knows that Angus only has mana below 5 points at the start of terms.
Even if he could improve, he will never reach greater than 5 since only a few months have passed since the start of the term.
However, he guesses his father will personally teach him from now on since their last sparring. So, sooner or later his father will notice his absurd true strength that already reaches the limit of a human child.
'Haa.. I hope he will not freak out about my current strength. Besides I could just say that it is the fault of the heritage chi that my body and mana increase any further.' Thought Angus before he walks towards the canteen to get lunch.
Arriving at the canteen, he found the students already overcrowded the canteen at once. Although, the canteen itself was already big but it still could never beat the number of the hungry students at once.
It could be said during lunch, the canteen becomes a sort of war zone. Still there is an order in the middle of this chaos.
Because the majority of students inside the royal academy is from high background, the student still has their manner and queue orderly.
Looking at the long queue, Angus knew it would take some time before he could eat his lunch. After a few moments of waiting, he finally gets his food and searches for a place to eat.
But, all the sitting areas are already occupied. Suddenly, Angus found someone being bullied by a group of other kids.
Looking at this, 'Hm… Might as well do a good thing and secure my place to eat." Thought Angus before approaching the group.
"Hey, could you get out from my 'friend's' place?" asked Angus.
