Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 975 975 Substitute Teacher

That was how Wolfe found himself in a classroom in the caverns under the city three weeks later, with a textbook in his hand, covering a class on construction inscribing for Mary, who had begged off work for the day so she could go play with a group of newborn puppies.

It was totally understandable, and there was a good chance that they were actually sired by Pup, her Familiar, so she was essentially a grandmother. In her words.

Wolfe had stopped to see the little balls of white fluff, and there was an excellent chance she was right, as the mother was a Fae Hound with long shaggy brown fur, instead of the Pup's bright white.

"Good morning everyone. Miss Mary became a puppy grandmother today, so I will be covering her classes. Our lesson for the morning is construction inscription. I know it's not something that came up in the past for many of you, so you might not have done it since your basic training. But that's why we're running this course.

Enhanced buildings are a rare thing in the other world, and as you have all signed up for job offers there, it is only natural you will get side offers for after - hours jobs, which can be negotiated to be quite beneficial to yourself.

The basics of Earth magic will build the house, but there are a few things that all of you will want to know, and all of your customers will be hoping that you will be able to provide.

The first and most important is the structural integrity spell.

This is it up on the board.

There is a rock among the items in front of you, so if you're not well versed in the spell, feel free to cast it as many times as you need." Wolfe began.

They all cast it at least a few times, as none of them had been construction workers in the past, so this was an all-new spell to them.

It wasn't a difficult one, and it was everywhere, so they had all seen it before, they just hadn't used it.

Wolfe spent a few minutes going over the small issues they were having, then moved on to the next important one.

"This is the heating spell. I think most of you should be familiar with this one, as we use the same one to keep the house warm as we do to light the stove." Wolfe joked.

Only one young Witch was carefully casting the spell over and over as Wolfe spoke, so he did his best not to embarrass her for never having cooked.

"Some of you might have preferred alterations to this spell, and that is alright as well. They won't care what it looks like, none of them can read runes yet anyhow, and the little alterations will let you mark a spell as your personal creation, so you will know when an item comes to you for repair if you were really the one that enchanted it."

That was enough time that the young Witch's face had changed from concern to joy as she got the spell working the way she wanted.

Wolfe realized that she must be one from the One World Army, who didn't know any Elemental Magic before they arrived here. The witches had spent the last two weeks going over the basics with them, and now with only one week before the Festival when they would meet with potential employers from the Fallen Empire, it was time to just go over the specifics so they were fresh in everyone's mind.

"Next up is a product that I demonstrated for them, which proved itself to be surprisingly popular. The portable shower." Wolfe announced.

The witches all laughed. They had become a huge hit here as well, and everyone knew the spell and the construction method. It was the first lesson they did for earth and water magic at the start of the course.

Mary was teaching, so naturally the idea of making the men smell at least a little more pleasant was at the top of her list of priorities, and that meant that teaching everyone to make a portable shower was the first lesson for the Elements.

"Does anyone have questions? If not, go ahead and make one now to take with you in your supplies. The housing they provide will likely have a shower already, powered by crystals and magic, but there is a good chance that the servants quarters at the house might not, and that means weekly bathing, instead of morning showers."

One of the Witches sighed as she stared back at Wolfe. "Are they really that uncivilized?"

Wolfe made a noncommittal gesture with his hand. "They lack the human technology of this world, and their magic users are all Nobles, who can only use the Unholy Element. They can create other effects with crystals, runes and raw mana, but as they can't use Earth Magic to make the perfectly cut crystals they need, it is prohibitively expensive.

So, the Nobles are quite civilized. But the commoners live in something closer to the dark ages.

They are working on integrating the world where our new human mages came from, and that will improve the situation, but it might take generations before real change is made.

People get comfortable with how things are, and the poor can't afford to make sweeping changes to their lifestyle, while those above them don't realize the problems even exist."

The Witch nodded. She understood that quite well. The ones who couldn't use magic on the other continents were in similar situations, though not quite so bad that they didn't have proper showers in their homes. But that was a matter of technology, not magic.

"I heard that they have taken a liking to magical motorcycles. Are we going to cover any of that before we go?" One of the others asked.

"I can give you a repair manual, but I'm not certain if it's in the curriculum. The majority of the bikes are completely mundane electric motorcycles, it's just the power converter that is magical, feeding the stored mana through an electricity generating inscription, as that was more efficient than an actual battery of the same size and weight.

The batteries are swappable as well, so they might bring just those in for repair if they get damaged and the inscription stops working." Wolfe explained.

"Alright, I will tell them that if I can't fix it, they might need a technician, which means sending it here for repairs." She shrugged.

The Witch beside her laughed. "It shouldn't be that bad. The Priya Family from Sylvan owns the company making them, and they're planning to open a distributor and repair shop in the capital this month. They will have spare parts, and a witch who is trained in the creation of the bikes to make any necessary repairs."

Wolfe didn't know that. It sounded like they had an excellent plan to corner the market on magical motorcycles for an entire region. They would be the household name, and everyone would know them as the first and most reputable shop, even after others joined the fight.
