Chapter 25: Blueprint of a Thunderbolt
The reward for winning the Lightning leaderboard event was finalized. As promised, the prize was tripled. Corvin sat before the instructors of the Lightning Hall and calmly made his selections.
He didn’t ask for weapons, magical scrolls, or titles.
Instead, he requested access to advanced lectures. Three lessons each in four specific magical affinities: Gravity, Aether, Life, and Plant.
His choices surprised many.
He didn’t include Lightning or Space, the two elements everyone knew he was already skilled in.
Within an hour, his request was approved.
He would attend three classes each in Gravity and Aether, both considered advanced arcane affinities and three more in Life, which healing was a under and Plant magic, generally were often overlooked.
His goal was simple.
He wanted to understand the foundations, the passive effects, and any advanced uses these elements had to offer. He needed to grow beyond raw power.
Gravity would naturally build on his Space affinity, improving his movement and control.
Aether, however, was still a mystery. Even most instructors treated it as something vague. But Corvin had siphoned enough minds to know it was connected to higher magic. Possibly close to divine power.
