Nameless King

"What have you done?" Lois exclaimed.

What he saw after the Blind Sorcerer snapped his finger filled him with horror. He felt as if he were in a maniac's dungeon.

"Don't worry." Blind Sorcerer put a hand on his shoulder, "It was just an illusion."

"Illusion?" One of the students asked.

"Yes, Lois didn't actually go anywhere. You all know such a natural phenomenon as a mirage. Just now, I did the same thing, only in reverse."

The students were delighted. Illusion magic was very rare and complex. Only mages with a unique talent could comprehend this power.

"Mr. All-knowing, please teach me Illusion Magic!" A girl with short blond hair exclaimed.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Most students didn't want to pass up such a rare opportunity. Their new teacher turned out to be a very interesting person.

"Wait a minute. All in good time, I can't choose one of you." Blind Sorcerer waved his hand.

"But... Maybe there's an option?" The same girl asked, "I think if you agree to teach Illusion Magic to at least one of us, that will suit everyone. Am I right?"

"Yes! Kaya, you are correct!" The students supported her.

"Hmm..." Blind Sorcerer hesitated, "Okay, I'll pick one of you, but it'll be fair. I've already looked at the class schedule. You have an alchemy class next week. We'll have a little contest, the winner will be my personal student, but that doesn't mean I'll forget about the others. I became your teacher today and intend to be for a very long time."

The students nodded cheerfully. Each of them was confident. They were ready to fight for this opportunity.

"Pfft... What a silly thing to say." Lois muttered grudgingly.

"That's it. That's enough." Mr. Ravan exclaimed, "It's late. You all need a good night's sleep. Mr. All-knowing, there's something else I want to discuss with you."

"Sure. See you guys later." Blind Sorcerer smiled.

...

'Blind Sorcerer worked as a teacher at the Magic Academy? No, there's something wrong here. That basement was really creepy. That kid, Lois almost shat himself, even though he was only there for a moment.' Wain muttered inwardly.

The next day, Blind Sorcerer's new life began. Before classes began, he and Mr. Ravan took a stroll in the academy garden.

"Mr. All-knowing, I am amazed at how skillfully you put Lois Kurt in his place." Mr. Ravan muttered.

"Huh, is this guy the troublemaker type?"

"No, not really. I even understand him a little. His father is one of the Elders of our Academy. Lois wants to prove to everyone that he's the best, and frankly, so far, he's succeeding. He has the best grades, excellent results in magic, but it's not enough." Mr. Ravan shook his head.

"He's not the strongest, is he?"

"Yes. You're right. No matter how hard he tries, there are a few students Lois can't beat. Their grades are worse, they don't excel as well in many areas as he does, but on the battlefield, they play him like a little kid."

"Lois just never really fought. You can't get combat experience if you don't risk your life. Some things you can't learn, you can only acquire them."

"Yeah... That truth is pretty ironic for a Magic Academy."

"Don't worry. I'm sure that one day Lois will understand what power is, all in good time." Blind Sorcerer smiled, "Mr. Ravan, tell me more about this academy. I come from far away lands, and this story happened spontaneously, I know too little about the place I'm going to work at."

"Well... You'll know everything in time, but since I have the opportunity, I'll tell you about the pride of our academy." Mr. Ravan said confidently, "I'm sure you know that the Academy of Flaming Knowledge is the best on this continent. Our students are the best mages, and our teachers have unique knowledge and abilities."

"Yes, it is an honor to work in such a place. I am glorified that you invited me."

"Don't be. I didn't just choose you. It was a common decision of the council." Mr. Ravan smiled, "Do you know about our academy's greatest treasure?"

"No, but I very much want to."

"It is a mysterious scroll that is said to conceal the way to obtain and use an incredibly rare artifact. I don't know much, only the Head of the Academy has access to it, but this artifact's power can surpass such concepts as space and time."

"How interesting... Do you have any idea what it could be?"

"No, I don't want to think about it. Even the Elders don't have access to the vault where the scroll is. I don't think I'll ever know better than I do now." Mr. Ravan shook his head.

"Welll... You have one option. You just need to become Head of the Academy."

"Huh, you have a sense of humor. That's good. Okay, classes are about to start, I need to get ready. I'll see you later." Mr. Raven waved his hand.

"Sure."

Blind Sorcerer looked up at the top of the academy. It was a tall, dark spire, with many formations and spells protecting it.

'I'm there, but how do I get inside the vault? I need to become Head of the Academy to do that, but I can't wait that long... There's always another way, though.'

Blind Sorcerer headed into the classroom with a slight smile.

He entered the classroom and began to teach the lesson.

"Hello. The topic of today's lesson is 'Unique Types of Magic.' I'm sure you know a lot about it. Young people are always interested in such things, so who wants to tell me these Types of Magic?"

"I!" Several students said at the same time.

One of those who raised their hand was Kaya. Blind Sorcerer looked at her, "Answer."

Kaya stood up, "There are three types of Unique Magic. This magic is almost impossible to learn. Only mages with exceptional talent are able to do it. Space Magic, Time Magic, and Chaos Magic. These are the Unique Types of Magic."

"Good answer."
