If the Academy Championship had not been imminent, that frenzy would have continued for much longer. Even so, it had merely shifted from the open into the shadows.
The professors were still madly researching Mathematics, only less conspicuously.
During this process, Dark had already chosen his electives. Besides "Transfiguration," the other was "Magic Class." Learning magic at a Magic Guidance Academy.
It sounded bizarre.

Basic magic was relatively easy to learn and did not demand such extensive knowledge. Once students could raise the power of basic magic to a fairly high level through stacking, Fusion, counterbalancing, shaping, and similar methods, they could graduate from "Magic Class."

Rose had chosen "Magic Class" and "Medicine Class: Advanced."
