"Wow, how humble. To have the strength of a superior knight at only 12 years old, she will definitely become a holy level powerhouse in the future. I never thought I would be able to talk to a holy level powerhouse, what an honor..."
The humble attitude of the girl made the coachman feel friendly, and unconsciously he started to chat non-stop. The girl's father was getting impatient and pulled her hand to leave.
"If the principal finds out that I skipped class, she will lecture me endlessly. Previously, I accidentally damaged some parts of the academy, and was lectured for two days straight. Even after I apologized sincerely, she still wouldn't let me off and insisted on deducting the repair fee from my salary. She's so stingy."
"It's because Dad insisted on coming with Allen, it's not Allen's request."
The girl glanced irritatedly at her father. After bidding farewell to the coachman, a layer of magic light surrounded the two of them.
"Flying Wings."
Suddenly, wind began to wrap around them, attaching to their calves and forming two pairs of blue wings. These wings were not physical, but rather illusory objects formed by wind elements.
At the same time that the wings were fully opened, the two of them floated up and floated like a helium balloon, soaring more than ten meters into the air. In mid-air, their bodies tilted towards the south and travelled at an increasingly fast speed until their bodies formed parallel lines with the ground, reaching their maximum speed. After they left, the coachman returned to the driver's seat, and the magic car continued its journey towards Madill City. Katie, who was peeking her head out of the car window, looked at the two flying figures in wonder.
"She's a student of Hildaran College? Just like me."
...
...
...
Hildaran College.
This is a knight academy located in the south of the Irvine Continent. Although the academy itself is not particularly outstanding compared to other schools in the south, in part because it was established near Madill City at the beginning of the "White Night Myth," it has gained significant renown.

"Thunder that breaks through everything and races through the sky -"
In a training grounds to the east of the academy, magic classes were in session. The male teacher, who wore thick glasses, had a black wand pointing towards the sky. As he began to chant, a golden halo formed on the surface of the wand.
Crackling, one arc, two arcs, three arcs...electricity appeared. When the teacher finished chanting the name of the magic, "Thunder Fang", a golden ray of lightning shot out from the tip of the wand. The surroundings turned golden, and like a wild animal leaving a pen, the lightning bolt emitted a roar, quickly ascending into the sky and vanishing into the blue world. When the lingering thunder element disappeared, the students could finally fully open their eyes and look towards the clouded sky, praising the spell.
"As you can see, this is a fourth-tier lightning-type spell, Thunder Fang. This attack-type spell is very powerful and can cause significant damage. However, most armor is unable to withstand it. With proficiency, the attack range of Thunder Fang can exceed half a kilometer. The downside is low accuracy, as lightning spells are inherently difficult to control, so you must have high control ability to improve accuracy. Therefore, Thunder Fang is only suitable for medium distance battles between 10-100 meters..." After demonstrating the lightning-type magic he planned to teach, the teacher tirelessly explained the effects and techniques of using Thunder Fang to the one hundred students present, before allowing students to practice on their own.
Magic on the Irvine Continent is roughly divided into ten levels, with levels 1-3 as beginner level, 4-6 as intermediate level, 7-9 as advanced level, and the tenth level as an ultra-level spell that could destroy an entire city with a single blow. The students separated and practiced Thunder Fang on their own.A student held a practice wand in both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated. As he chanted, arcs of electricity began to appear around the wand, but in the end, only a small, numbing bolt of lightning was released.
Thunder magic was notoriously difficult to master among all the natural magic, even the most basic "Thunderbolt" was a third level spell, while the fourth level Thunder Fang would not be easy to learn.
For the first spell, students who could wrap lightning around their wands were already considered excellent. Many beginners couldn't even release lightning.
Watching the students practice hard, the teacher, Kums Allen, stood to the side without intervening. He didn't think these fledgling students in the field of magic could learn fourth level spells in just one class.
Even he had spent more than a week learning to use Thunder Fang smoothly, which was considered fast among his classmates at the time.
"Blast through everything, gallop through the skies with lightning, and tear apart the enemy before you and the void at my command: Thunder Fang."
Just as Teacher Kums was about to correct the novice students' awkward chanting and casting techniques with a caring gaze, a flash of lightning suddenly shot up into the sky with a loud rumble and disappeared in an instant.
Everyone stopped practicing and looked towards a girl with bright red hair standing alone at the edge of the training ground.
In the group of students around 15 years old, she stood out as only twelve, with a brightly shining head of hair.
With a petite figure, a lovely face, and eyes emitting a fiery light, she was an unavoidable presence.
