Tbate-The Reincarnates

The continuation of my first day of school

From Iris Flirting's point of view

My brows furrowed in confusion as I watched the students—most of them from powerful houses, which is why their low mana levels shocked me so much.

He understood that most of them had just awakened their cores. However, parents have been increasingly dedicated to teaching their children as soon as they wake up, even before sending them here, so I expected them to be with their power a little more developed.

Now I understand Cynthia's insistence on making me become a teacher here, if we went to war with these kids we lost the battle in less than six months.

I rubbed my temples as I sighed, "Looks like I'm going to have to start from the very basics." I muttered to myself.

"Since this is a Practical Mana Manipulation class, I will ask you a practical question. What is the best way to utilize mana in the surrounding atmosphere?" I look around and almost instantly, a geeky-looking girl with ponytails raises her hand.

"Mana is best utilized by absorbing mana naturally formed in the atmosphere into the mana core, where it can be condensed and purified for use when spells or techniques are cast." She shoots me a satisfied look, as if she's proud of her own answer.

"Good. Now. As you all know, the difference between Augmenters and Spellcasters lies in the fact that Augmenters primarily use mana in their cores via their mana channels, while Spellcasters directly absorb mana from the surrounding atmosphere. through their mana veins. So... why do both types of mages have to meditate and absorb mana when only Augmenters actually utilize the mana they absorb at their core?" I question, not looking at anyone in particular.

"..." The nerdy girl's confident hand shrinks as she thinks about what it is.

"While the Augmentation embeds mana into physical attacks, thus reducing the amount of mana used, Casters manipulate the space the spell is cast directly into, consuming more mana. Because of this, Casters use the purified mana in their mana core as a reserve to avoid reactions." Kathyln responds, her face unchanged.

"Correct! So, the last question of the day... is the color of a Caster's mana core or even the Augmentator's a truly accurate way of measuring a mage's power level?" I lean forward, shifting my weight from my left leg to my right.

"No." This time it was Isa's son Lancelot who spoke, smiling as he waited for Lancelot to continue his reply, "It's certainly an easy way to gauge the mage's power, but it's far from accurate. As they become more pure. This is a purely biological mechanism, natural to their function. Even if one never refines their mana core it will still slowly progress with use, like strengthening a muscle."

Several students looked at Lancelot with doubt and surprise, it was as if they didn't believe his words, seeing this he continued saying: "Let's see this from another perspective imagine an ordinary fighter who is two meters and weighs almost 150 kilos full of muscles , all we can say is that the big guy is probably frighteningly strong. Does that say anything else about his combat skill? Yes, he is strong, but to be a great combatant, there are other factors like agility, technique, mental strength, experience, etc. The stage where a mage's mana core is just determining how many "muscles'" he or she has, but not much else about the other factors. Refining your mana core to higher stages is still important, it's sure, but if that's the only factor you use to gauge your opponent's level, you're setting yourself up for defeat."

"Very correct." I pointed out, as I expected Lancelot was on a very different level from the other students, to be honest he was wasting his time watching this class, not only Arthur, Kathlyn, Makima, Merlin and Rias, even though they were first years they could easily attend upper division classes.
