Collette stared at Hulim with burning eyes, as if this question was very important to her.
“… …”
Hulim was very surprised to hear such an unexpected name coming out of the mouth of the new teacher in front of her, as it was a name that no one in the town had ever heard of.
"...Olubet is my ancestor."
"That's exactly what happened!"
Collette suddenly stood up excitedly.
"You are indeed the descendant of that person! That makes sense. If you are the descendant of that person, it is not surprising that you have such talent..."
Hulim was completely confused and had no idea why the teacher was so excited after knowing that she was a descendant of Oulubet. Although her father had said that her ancestor had made glorious achievements, that was three hundred years ago. Three hundred years would erase a lot of things. For example, now, the townspeople of Ment Town had no idea who their ancestor was.
Even if I want to tell those who look down on this that how glorious our ancestors were, that was the glory of the past. To mention the decline of the Haieral family is just rubbing salt in the wound.
Just when Hulim was still confused, Collette said something that shocked Hulim very much.
"Mr. Hulim, you have already learned second-level magic, right?"
"Varied--"
Hulim looked at Collette in surprise.
"Why would Teacher Collette know?"
"It's actually quite simple for me to know. Hullim, you haven't yet learned how to control your magic output, right? When you were demonstrating magic, the level of first-level magic you used was beyond the capabilities of a first-level magician. It must have been at least second-level."
“… …”
Failure, unexpected failure.
Hulim reflected on herself inwardly, she had never expected to expose her true identity in such a place.
"... Um, Ms. Collette, what are your thoughts on this?"
Hulim couldn't help but wonder what Collette's purpose was.
"Well, I do have an idea~!"
Is there really a purpose? But is there anything about me that warrants her attention? Is it just because I've mastered second-tier magic? Or is it related to my ancestors? She seems to be particularly interested in them. Speaking of which, Fran also mentioned that she seemed to be from the capital. Coming all the way from the capital to this rural area is indeed suspicious...
"Honestly, even I never expected that among the students who had just started learning magic, there would be students who had already mastered second-level magic. They were really unprepared. This is something we should have considered at least until next year. Hey, Hulim, you don't have a wand yet, right?"
"Eh? A magic...wand?"
Hulim, who was originally thinking wildly and was about to imagine Collette as the mastermind behind the incident, was interrupted by Collette's question.
"Oh, right, the magic wand. Although I'm not sure how far you've come in terms of second-level magic, Hulim, now that you've reached the second level, it's time to get your own magic wand."
"Uh, you need a wand for the second level?"
Eh, that’s strange. Why is it different from what I thought? Is the other party concerned about my affairs now?
Hulim suddenly realized that she might have misunderstood the teacher in front of her...
"Of course we do. Starting from the second level of magic, the time and magic power required to cast magic will increase significantly. However, in actual use, we won't be able to spend that much time to recite the spell, and the excessive consumption of magic power is also a problem. So this is when we need the help of the magic wand."
"All wands, even the most basic ones, can help us focus more, thereby increasing the speed of casting spells. They can also effectively help us reduce the amount of mana wasted when casting spells, thus saving mana. More advanced wands can even amplify magic power and other various other functions."
As she spoke, Collette raised her wand.
"Just like the teacher's wand, the teacher is a fire magician, and my wand can amplify the power of fire magic."
"It can be said that for every magician, the wand is an integral part of life and is absolutely indispensable, just like a swordsman can no longer be called a swordsman without his sword."
Hulim looked at the red wand in Collette's hand and felt a little envious. A wand that belonged to her... It sounded good.
but... ...
"Teacher Collette, but magic wands are only used by magicians who have mastered second-level magic or above, right? If I get a magic wand now, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
Hulim raised her doubts, but of course her real thought was that she didn't want to expose her true level in front of too many people.
"Hmm... I think so. That's a problem. The students nowadays haven't even started learning magic yet. It's unknown how many of them will be able to reach the second level by the time they graduate. If they knew that someone has already reached the level they can only achieve after graduation, it would probably deal a serious blow to their self-confidence, right?"
"Considering this, Hullim-student, it's really not appropriate for you to show your wand in front of everyone right now. However, we can't let this hold you back. What should we do..."
Collette frowned, trying to think of a solution.
"Oh, right! Hulim-san, wouldn't it be alright if you just didn't bring your wand to school?"
