The Golden Throne

She took a quick look round the room. Seeing most of the seats reserved, she took a seat next to Liu Feng. Sylvette looked at Amelia and wondered what relation Liu Feng and Ameila had, for her to sit next to him.

"I wonder if I offended you president, for you to cold heartedly look around after I offered you a seat. Could it be that you have a friend in this room that you'd rather sit with?", Liu Feng joked.

"It is nothing. I was just looking for a more unnoticeable seat, as for some reason the teachers always call for me during classes for all the demonstrations. I hope I did not offend you in any way by looking for another seat."

"Nonono, I was just joking with you. Oh look, our professor has arrived."

An old woman arrived, walking with the support with a stick. She walked slowly into the professor's desk and took a seat.

"Good morning class. I am your professor of magic theory,Cordelia. During this class, I want to get to know you better, but the sad truth is getting to know most of you is a waste. Only a few of the students here will become mages here, and even fewer will become an eighth or even ninth circle mage. If even one of you becomes a tenth circle mage, it is considered an achievement for me, if I live that long."

A student raised his hand, "Professor, aren't there only nine circles?"

"You were blinded by knowledge dear. There were no mages beyond nine circles appearing in public, so you thought that there was a limit, but there are, within this very academy, multiple tenth, even eleventh circle mages. Our control of magic has completely decreased, and the kingdoms believe that a huge danger will come for us all. So, the kingdoms decided to share knowledge with you, and grow your power. For today, we will talk about how the elves can use ancient magic, while humans and most dwarves cannot."

Liu Feng could hear Amelia tense up beside him. It was clear that she did not expect this topic to come up. Liu Feng smiled at her to comfort her, but it seemed to do no help.

"Now, as you know, the reason you can use magic is because there are spirits in the world, and conversing with them in Khair will allow us to use this power. But the elves designed an ingenious method where they could contract a spirit and use that spirit's power. But, for some reason, humans only saw darkness when they tried this method, so it was decided that humans could not use this type of magic. Now, we have an elf with us who has already contracted a wind spirit, the elvan namesake magic. May I request the lady to demonstrate to us how it works?"

Amelia shook up a little, but stood up and went up to the stage. She chanted a few words in Khair, and voila, a small gust appeared in the room, and papers started to fly. She quickly took a seat, and Professor Cordelia continued on with her class. She explained how the elves had to compensate for this great power in exchange for a weaker fertility. So, they were less in number than the dwarves and humans. It was the smallest kingdom out of the four, but it was very powerful regardless. She spoke about the failure rate in contracting a spirit, and other statistics.

Liu Feng could hear Amelia grinding her teeth next to him. He quickly wrote her a note asking her what happened. She quickly denied everything, and stopped doing anything.

"That child is special. She has the hallmark of my queen. She is a bearer of a royal spirit mark. You should befriend that elf human. They are the one of the only species still in contact with the spirits directly, so we need to be able to speak with the king of Elen, Elvan I think..", Avian spoke.
