Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel

The next one was Alexander, but to be honest he has mentioned he is the young master of the Jolbaris family enough times that everyone knew it already, still he stood up from his seat and spoke in a proudly tone.

"I'm Alexander Jolbaris, as of right now I'm 15 years old, my affinity is lightning but not a normal one, but the beast lightning of the storm tiger, a sign that I come from the main lineage of the Jolbaris family, the strongest in the whole beast faction".

Alexander was tall, he had orange hair with some white stripes, ears and tail like the ones of a tiger.

Daimon smirked, "looks like he loves the sound of his own voice", he thought before saying.

"With all the useless information you added, you forgot to mention you are the fourth ranked".

…

Alexander gritted his teeth but the lingering scorching sensation that the exposition to Boris's mana on the area of his shoulder made him calm down, he silently sat back for the next one to present himself.

This time the guy that stole the third rank stood up; his voice was a bit hoarse, quite different from the past one when he laughed at Alexander in the welcome party.

,m "My name is Mikael Lockstar, I'm 14 years old, my affinities are fire… and wind, I hold the third rank, as for the family I never got to know them but a gentle old couple raised me".

Mikael had blue hair, he was a bit skinny and maybe because he was on the young range of students, but out of all the members of the elite class he was the shortest one.

Needless to say, but everyone was quite surprised, first Mikael had a dual element affinity, which by itself is surprising enough and second, he managed to surpass Alexander in the entrance tests while not being a noble.

Although at this point it was hard to find someone that didn't know the pair of "siblings" that came from the Revy clan, the show must go on, so Aisha stood up and presented herself.

"My name is Aisha Licht, I'm 22 years old, my affinities are lightning and metal, I occupy the second rank and I come from the Revy family".

Long silver hair, amethyst-colored eyes, a voluptuous yet elegant figure, her skin was pale but not to the point where it would be considered unhealthy, instead it was the smooth jade like tone of a noble young lady.

Finally, it was Daimon's turn, once Aisha sat down again, he stood up and took over.

"I'm Daimon Licht, 13 years old, my affinities are darkness and lightning, I'm the first ranked as everyone know, and just like my sister I also come from the Revy family".

Unlike Aisha, Daimon did change his hair color to a deep black one, but his eyes kept having the same purple tone as his mother, he was quite tall reaching 1.7 meters and his body constitution was athletic but not bulky, in Aura's words it was as if his muscles were perfectly compressed to surpass any strength limit.

Now that the presentations were over, Aliya could finally start with her lessons, it was only the first day, so she planned to start with the basics.

She went to the chalkboard and drew a model of a normal magic core, basically a sphere, but unlike the previous explanation given by Aisha so many years ago in that cave when Daimon absorbed mana for the first time, this design had little spots with the shape of stars.

Aliya pointed at her draw before explaining.

"Since you are all at the one-star mage real at least, we'll start at this point, when a magic core reaches a certain contention capacity it forms a star shaped spot, this little spot allows its owner to reduce the casting time and to launch spells continuously, in other words it's when a novice mage becomes a one-star mage".

Daimon was hoping to listen to a different explanation, his magic core wasn't exactly normal, because his magic core didn't develop the star shaped spots akin to a star ranked mage, instead his magic core literally created small copies of itself which orbited the main one, so far there was only one of them since he was a one-star mage.

Jason was going to directly interrupt Aliya, but he felt Daimon's gaze piercing him so instead of that, he properly rose his hand to ask the teacher something.

"Teacher… why are we seeing such basic things, everyone here already knows that, isn't it a waste of time?".

Aliya smiled.

"The young generation of nowadays underestimate the power of knowledge, tell me, if you were in a hopeless situation where your options are dying in battle or being captured and suffer a destiny worse than death, what would you do?".

Alexander answered instead of Jason.

"An honorable death is something to be proud, only cowards will choose to be captured".

Aliya shook her head, she stood up from her seat and her eyes glowed for a second before the projection of a magic core with eight stars and some slight cracks appeared floating in the middle of the room.

"Dying isn't something to be celebrated, the true victory lies in winning and returning alive to your home, if you knew as much about the star spots in your core as you think, then you wouldn't have died in that situation, I who once used to be a middle stage mage lord managed to fight head on against an early stage Archmage which shouldn't have appeared in a battlefield created for training purposes".

"The stars spots are like small sections where mana is concentrated, refined and stored, only a mage with the perfect amount of control over its core has the ability to implode one of its stars, like when a dam breaks, the contents will violently flow out of it… this is not a forbidden spell as using it won't directly kill you, it's a technique called "temporal booster", something created and reserved for the elite of the beast faction".

Aliya coughed a couple of times and the projection of her core disappeared; she drank a sip of the potion she had hanging on her belt before continuing.

"The hot-blooded selfish idiots from the Jolbaris family never change… the difference between a soldier and a general is the capacity to think and act depending on the situation, a war is not fought by only one man, when you are in a team your actions also harm others around you".

Without anyone knowing, Boris was standing outside the classroom with a wistful expression on his face.

"That's why this time I chose the leader more wisely than before, everyone learns from its mistakes, but learning it's not the same as atoning for them, but who knows, a kid which can make both the strongest and the most cunning women in the whole stellar chart, stand at his side… can basically achieve anything".

This time no matter how much thick skulled was Alexander or his lackeys, they had no way to refuse Aliya's lesson, so they just shut their mouths and let her continue with the class.

"As I was saying, the star spots in a magic core are developed with the purpose of gathering, refining and storing mana at a higher ratio, the more you advance the more changes your magic core will go through, but for now let's focus in exploring all the potential of the star ranks".

Unlike Daimon who wasn't too interested in this technique, Aisha was paying all her attention to the class, as a vampire she didn't know of this technique so this was a completely new kind of knowledge, something she totally loved.

Daimon felt his mother hugging his arm tighter and he was amused by her reaction, "for someone who was more focused in battle, she for sure enjoys theory quite a bit", he thought.

The first class finished after almost one hour of theoretical knowledge about magic cores and the star spots, unfortunately nothing Aliya mentioned matched Daimon's situation but that was something to be expected, even he couldn't control his magic core as he pleased.

"Stupid magic core… with the mana gathering ratio I have, at this point I could have reached at least the second star mage realm"

Narasha who was also "attending" to the school with him, answered.

"I'm grateful to your abnormal magic core though… if it weren't for that you wouldn't have advanced that much in the knight path, and without that I wouldn't be able to be your battle partner".

Daimon nodded, although his magic core was for some reason preventing him from advancing on the mage path, the body constitution that came along with it was different, luckily the bracelet of the god of mischief could trick the orb of truth, or the result the screen would have shown would have been quite different.

Aliya looked at her watch and decided to finish her classroom lessons, the elite class was essentially a team for the inter-academic tournament, the first step to create a team is that their members were aware of their characteristics, affinities etc.

And the second step would be to see their fighting styles, that's why Boris entered the room and with a grim spoke.

"Now my favorite time of the day, let's go to the training grounds for the magic combat class… miss Aliya please come, I will be arbitrating so I need you to take the notes".

Aliya sighed, she was planning to use that time to study magic herbs but to be honest, her old battle instincts were aching to see how those who were acclaimed as the "elite" fight.

"Fine, I will also go, I'm their teacher after all".

Boris nodded and left followed by the whole class, seeing the training grounds appearing in his field of vision made Daimon remember that time when Erin brought him to spy on the other girls of the Revy family.

"I guess this time I can't complain about my childhood", he thought.
