Professor Lily handed out another test as homework at the end of class.
She still hoped that working through the questions would deepen the students' understanding of the material.
The second class right after that was Magic Theory.
Professor Kazel first summarized the class's collective failure in the previous practical lesson. Then, based on how the students had performed in the Newbie Tournament, he called several of them up to the podium to demonstrate "the long-range transmission and control of magic power."
To his surprise, aside from Diana, who had already demonstrated her ability to control a Magitech Ball from a distance during the tournament, the other students had also picked up the technique to varying degrees!
No.
He quickly noticed something else.
Even the students who hadn't been called up had already learned the basics!
"How did they manage that?"
"This year's class may have slightly better average talent than previous years, but not enough to turn everything upside down."
Professor Kazel couldn't help but pay closer attention.
As he continued teaching, he finally discovered the secret behind the students' steadily improving mastery of this advanced technique!
At some point, without his noticing,
every single person in the classroom had started practicing a technique called "Pen Spinning" every moment of the day.
Given the necessary talent, long-range transmission and control of magic power was simply a matter of practice.
Some people needed a year or more to master it, while others needed only a few weeks.
The Magic Guidance Ring Professor Kazel had given Dark as a Christmas present was a tool specifically designed for practicing this technique.
But now,
Professor Kazel suddenly realized that "Pen Spinning" seemed to encourage people to practice of their own accord. Once they'd learned a little, they could even keep at it "unconsciously,"
