Chapter 32 - Fire Fountain Hill

They all applauded. Shortly after, the elder Hun left the place. Now, three high instructors appeared to train the Silk class students.

They showed up on the same stage as Elder Hun by using place teleportation magic. The three introduced themselves one by one, as Natasha, Albert, and Darcy.

Aiden heard and knew their names. They explained that the three instructors would train all the Silk class students.

But before training, the students would be divided into smaller study groups in order to maximize the magic learning.

Natasha, Albert, and Darcy looked at each other. The three nodded together, the man named Albert walked ahead and threw something to the hall ceiling.

"180 Silk class students here, those are the instructor's jades," Albert replied.

The jades flew freely and floated in the air, they were all the same color, white.

Albert explained the instructor class division system. Silk students were required to retrieve the jade with their magic power.

When the jade was retrieved, it would resonate with the student's magic power and cause a significant color change.

"If you get a green jade, you will be training with High Instructor Darcy," Albert replied.

"If you get a blue jade, you will train with High Instructor Natasha," Albert added.

"You will train with me if you get a red jade."

The students responded by nodding their heads, understanding the simple rules Albert spoke of. Aiden immediately focused his eyes upwards, looking at the white jade.

'I don't know the advantages of training with any of the three instructors, but it's better to try it first,' Aiden said.

Helen glanced to the side, looking at Aiden's serious and manly face. She could only hope that the jade she was about to obtain was the same color as Aiden's.

"You may start!" said Albert.

All the Silk class students released their magical energy immediately, stretching out like thin threads of different colors according to their dominant element.

Aiden didn't see any jade that was different from the hundreds there, but somehow he had to choose jade instead of just picking it up.

It wasn't hard for Helen to get her jade. Some of the other students had gotten their jade as well.

As Albert had said, the jade they had gotten resonated with their magic, making the color of it change significantly according to the jade's original color.

"I got red," Helen said, showing it to Aiden.

Aiden nodded. Now, it was his turn to pick up the jade with his magic thread. He got the jade and held it in his hand.

Helen continued to watch it closely, hoping that Aiden's jade was the same color as Helen's.

"I'm red," Aiden replied, Helen smiled at him, her heart truly delighted to be in the same instructor class as Aiden.

"Looks like we're in the same instructor class, Aiden," Helen told Aiden, who smiled and nodded.

Ronald received a blue jade just like Clarissa, while Melinda received a green jade. The 71st Squad was officially disbanded with their separation in this instructor class.

Out of 180 Silk class students, 35 students joined Albert's instructor class, while 67 students joined Natasha's instructor class, and 78 students joined Darcy's instructor class.

"Congratulations, you can start training with your instructors," announced Albert.

"For those who get the red jade, come with me," Albert instructed.

Aiden and Helen stepped out with the other 33 students. They left the Earth Hall and walked up the stairs. Albert told them that their training ground was near the academy's natural heat spring.

"You will study for three years at the Astralis Magical Academy. There are your seniors who have stayed here before, they can certainly help train you," Albert said.

"You'll have your own dorm, with boys and girls being mixed. So, I expect you to behave yourselves," Albert emphasized.

"Anything that goes against the academy rules will be punished by the Mage Disciplinary Board," said Albert.

"Do you understand?" asked Albert, making sure.

35 students nodded and said they understood at the same time. Right at the top of the hill, they saw a gate that was labeled Fire Fountain Hill. 

It was a special place that the academy provided to every Silk class student from various batches.

They saw a large area with dormitories lined up neatly and sturdily on the right and left. Right in front of them, there was a circle area similar to a circle altar filled with Silk class students.

Right in front of the training area, there was a hot waterfall that flowed natural hot water throughout the Academy. Aiden felt the magical energy related to fire and water quite strongly in this place.

"There's no training today, I'll introduce the early instructors to you," Albert replied.

The Higher Instructors were in charge of making sure the Silk class student groups were divided into three places. 

The early instructors being the ones who directly trained the students face to face, such as listening to their complaints and so on.

There were many early instructors in Albert's instructor class, none of whom Aiden knew.

There were a total of 10 early instructors who would train the 35 first-year Silk students, Albert said the small group division would be done tomorrow.

"They will escort you to your dorm rooms," Albert replied, parting ways with them.

The students walked into the first-year Silk student dorm, each person getting a chance to choose a room they liked.

Aiden took the room that led to the practice field, while Helen took the room next to Aiden.

"Your uniforms will be delivered in the evening, now you can get some rest," said an early instructor.

Aiden and the others nodded, fully listening to his orders. Aiden opened the door to his room and saw that the furniture was plain and minimal, but decent enough to be used for rest and housing.

'I don't know how the nobles who are used to living in luxury will respond when they see this,' Aiden explained.

'But lucky for me.With my dominant element being fire, it'll be a great help to my magic to practice here,' Aiden said.

There was a knock on the door, Helen entered and saw that Aiden's room was just like hers. Helen thanked Aiden again, she had managed to become an academy student and not disappoint her family.

"Sure. We can study together while we're here," Aiden said.

Helen smiled and nodded, her cheeks turning bright red again, "Yes, I'm really looking forward to our time together."
