Chapter 31: The Art of Barriers (1)
The final class of Saturday arrived: Defensive Magic & Barriers.
The students filed into the classroom, their voices gradually dying as they took their seats. This subject was no ordinary class, it demanded a combination of strategy, precision, and defensive mastery.
The art of creating magical shields, barriers, and protective spells was more than just a defense, it was the foundation of survival, the first line of offense against attacks.
To truly master this discipline was to shape the very fabric of reality itself, crafting walls of magic that could protect against almost anything.
Barrier magic also required a delicate balance of magical flow, angles, energy channels, and constant adaptation to shifting magical forces.
The door swung open with a force that made every student straighten in their seat.
A man, seemingly in his late forties, strode in, tall, and unyielding.
His dark robes were subtly reinforced with layers of enchantments, and his sharp gaze scanned the room, piercing through each student like a hawk eyeing prey.
The students immediately recognized him as their professor. But while his reputation preceded him, there was something else about him that made the air feel unusually tense. Professor Verkor, a grandmaster of barrier magic, had a reputation that was nearly legendary. His reputation was built on perfectionism, precision, and an obsession with creating magical walls and defenses so flawless that even the most dangerous spells would shatter before them.
