🕑 Added 2025-03-07 02:00:04 +0000 UTCAnton and his family and friends returned to the suite after dinner. By request, they watched the continuation of some of the television shows they had been watching. While they were watching, Anton thought of which show they would watch next since the four shows that they had been watching for a long time were almost finished, but then he decided to think about it once they were over.
More than likely, Anton thought that it would be very difficult for the family to commit to a new television show since everyone was beginning to become extremely busy. His father and his mistresses would need to handle the cinema, and the mages in the family were focused on increasing their wizardly rank and their magic lessons.
Anton himself was also busy increasing his power through his Diablo II system, and not only that, he was also planning to expand his knowledge of the standard magic of this world. He felt that watching movies in everyone’s spare time for bonding purposes would be enough for them.
Of course, he wasn’t closing the possibility of them watching a television show since his family and friends might request to watch some, but once the television shows they had been watching ended, he would suggest to everyone what he thought of regarding watching just films instead.
Once the episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and Star Trek: The Next Generation ended, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
After taking a shower, Anton decided to create an initial detailed plan of what his daily and weekly schedule would be. In his notebook, he listed that after breakfast, which was around eight in the morning, he would attend the scheduled classes he joined for expanding his magical knowledge of this world’s magical system, and that would be for three hours. After eating lunch, the rest of the day would be spent with his Diablo II system.
For the rest of the week, inside his Diablo II system, Anton would switch from leveling up his character, hunting for the “Best in Slots” gears, practicing the spells of his different characters, and creating enchanted items.
Around twice a week, he would practice his music. He also added a line in his schedule to spend some time with Torun and the others to relax. The schedule that he created was, of course, subject to change depending on the situation, but he was happy with the initial plan that he made.
He was glad that he didn’t have to schedule a movie recording session wherein he would record the movie that the cinema would be showing to their customers to enchanted items since he could just create the small Globes of Browser Sharing and give them to his father. The recording session did take a lot of time.
After he was done composing his schedule, Anton rested for the night while thanking the blue whales and the pink dolphins for the Pearl of the Ocean that allowed him to sleep peacefully anytime he wanted.
The next day, Anton woke up excitedly since it was the start of the next part of their journey. He was excited at the prospect of expanding his knowledge, so after breakfast, he joined Frederick, Anna, and the rest of the girls going to the wizards’ hall where the wizards would meet so their teachers could lead them to the classrooms they would use for the classes.
Anton was excited since he felt like a college student on the way to the university, and everyone’s behavior contributed to that. When they arrived at the wizards’ hall, Anton was astonished at the changes that had occurred in the place. There was now a main lobby, and the place was now separated into different rooms.
There was an announcement board on one of the walls and receptionists at the center corner of the lobby. When they asked the receptionist which room they should go to, the ladies announced that the rooms for the classes they chose were listed on the announcement board.
Anton separated from the others since his classes would be different from theirs. He then found which rooms he was supposed to go to and headed directly to his first class. When he arrived there, he wasn’t surprised at the age of the students there since the class was about the basics, which was History of Magic.
Even though he said that that the students were young, at a second look, Anton saw that the five students there were of age with him, which was around fifteen to nineteen years old. One thing he also noticed was that the students’ clothes were not as extravagant as some of the wealthier wizards.
One funny thing was that all of the students were seated at the front of the class like those overly eager, know-it-all, straight-A students. He sat beside them and waited for the lecturer to arrive, which didn’t take long since, after a couple of minutes, a middle-aged wizard entered.
“Good Morning. My name is High Wizard Dorman, and I’m the lecturer for this class, which is the History of Magic. Normally, this kind of lesson would be handled by a wizard family, but since we’ll be stuck on the ship for a good amount of time, the powers that be decided that educating the wizards on their foundation would be beneficial for everyone. That means though, that those who didn’t have a good magic foundations are those who wasn’t born in a wizard family like you guys are so all of you are of the same status, except for Archmage Sunders there, so I want you to be respectful of each other, do all of you understand? You’re all old enough so you can introduced yourselves to each other at your free time.”
High Wizard Dorman did not waste any time and gave each one of them a thick book simply titled “History of Magic Volume I”. Anton knew that the books were reproduced using magic, and it was included in the payment that they made when they registered for the class.
Their teacher began the lecture without further ado, and Anton activated his spell of Globe of Browser Sharing to record the lecture. He noticed that his five classmates cast different spells and knew that those spells also functioned as recording devices.
After the first lecture for the day ended, the only thing that Anton could say was that the classes were worth every coin that he paid. High Wizard Dorman was a good lecturer and was very clear on every topic he discussed. Anton learned a lot, and he appreciated that their lecturer spent the last part of the hour answering all of their questions. He also didn’t allow any of them to divert the lesson to anything else but stuck to the History of Magic.
Anytime anyone of them asked a question that was not covered by the teacher’s lesson, High Wizard Dorman would then tell them which classes they would be covered in. Even though the lessons were being recorded by his spell, Anton was also frantically noting down High Wizard Dorman’s suggestions on which classes would cover which specific topics.
After the lesson ended, Anton hurried to his next class, which was next door, and wasn’t surprised that the same five students followed him. The next class was called the “Foundation of Magic” and, based on High Wizard Dorman’s introduction, the six of them were the only ones wanting to cover the very basics of magic.
Anton could see that his classmates were curious as to why he was there with them since Dorman had informed them that Anton was an archmage. He would enlighten his classmates at a later time, though, since it’s a good idea to have a good relationship with his classmates.
