Chapter 251: The Lightning School
Chapter 251: The Lightning School
Next day, after homeroom, Eleanor went to the Lightning School. In the academy, each elemental school had its
own building, standing almost elite compared to departments like Wilderness Survival, which had only a single
classroom in the main academy building. Elemental schools even maintained their own Core Magic Department,
with a luxurious central office in the academy’s main hall.
When Eleanor stepped into the ground-floor lobby, the receptionist looked astonished as soon as she heard
Eleanor’s request.
"Cadet, you're far too late. Admission closed days ago. The academy should have informed you that enrolment is
only open for the first five days. By now, the other students are well ahead in their classes. We can’t arrange a
separate class just for you. Besides, the primary term is far too short for you to catch up."
"Miss, you've misunderstood." Eleanor spoke calmly. "I didn’t possess a lightning ability until yesterday. |
awakened my bloodline only then, and now I wish to study lightning. I've already chosen my courses for this
term. It doesn’t matter if | don’t pass this school."
Recognition flickered across the receptionist’s face. "Ah! Of course. My apologies. It is perfectly normal for
students to enrol after bloodline awakening. | simply forgot... you're the first one this term. Please wait a
moment while | register you as a visiting student in this department."
She drew out a scanner and laptop from the drawer. "Please scan your device to confirm your element and
identity."
Eleanor obliged. The receptionist typed briskly, then returned the tools to their place.
"You are now enrolled as a visiting student of the Lightning School. You may join classes whenever you wish...
there are no restrictions like the regular students face. You won't receive grades, but you may use the school
library freely for study. I've already provided access to the videos of past lectures you missed into your course
database. You'll also find several recommended texts there. Go through them carefully before joining the next
class."
"There are only twelve theoretical lectures left this term. Classes begin at 11:30 each day. As you are only a
visiting student, we don’t advise you to attend by skipping your core subjects."
After a pause, the receptionist added, "The library is on the second floor. You can access it by scanning your
device. All the books available to Primary Term students are in the first section. Oh... and if you want to use the
Origin Thunder Seed, you'll need to apply through the Core Magic Department. Once you receive permission,
we'll schedule a time. Only one person may enter at a time. There's only a single Thunder Seed in the academy...
shared between cadets, professors, and staff alike. | recommend you apply as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your suggestion. I'll head to the department to apply," Eleanor replied.
The receptionist shook her head gently. "No rush. Since you're already here, why not visit the school library first?
You've only just awakened your bloodline. Go and compare your new abilities with the skill books. | strongly
recommend you read before attempting to practise. Lightning is volatile... mishandled, it can harm not only you,
but others as well."
Eleanor inclined her head in understanding. "Thank you for your advice."
She had stbefore her scheduled training with Instructor Arrichion, so she decided to follow the
suggestion. Turning away, she climbed to the second floor and entered the Lightning School's library.
The air carried the faint hum of contained energy. At a large central table sat three cadets in green robes. The
soft thud of the door drew their attention, and all three turned to look at her. Eleanor immediately recognised
two of them: Raijin Stormrider, her opponent from the Tower of Legends, and Ignatius Brontes Lychos, whose
nshe had read in her family’s files. The third was unfamiliar, though Eleanor instantly sensed the aura of the
Naga race from her.
Raijin’s eyes narrowed, brimming with hostility. He had yet to swallow his defeat at the Tower. His voice was
sharp, like the crack of a whip. "This is the Lightning School library. Only students of this school are allowed
entry. Leave before | report you to security."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEleanor’s tone was cool, almost dismissive. "Don’t worry. | chere with the receptionist’s approval. You do
your work, and I'll do mine."
"Do you think we're blind?" Raijin sneered. "You're no Lychos like Ignatius. Other werewolves aren't welcome
here."
Eleanor ignored him entirely and walked to the shelves. The rows were filled with skill manuals, each radiating
subtle sparks of power. She opened her status screen, scanning the titles and aligning them with her newly
awakened lightning abilities.

Storm Heart and Energy Comprehension."
Nora’s calm voice flowed through her mind. "Before you start any of those skill books, check your course
materials first. The receptionist mentioned there would be study resources waiting for you."
"Oh, right. | almost forgot." Eleanor closed her status screen, then tapped the device on her wrist to bring up the

"That's the wisest approach," Nora agreed.
Eleanor turned to the first shelf and soon found seven skill books covering those three abilities. She gathered
them carefully, then crossed the room and approached the Naga girl.
"Hello, I'm Eleanor. Do you mind if | sit here?" she asked politely.
The girl lifted her head and looked at her. In her green robe, with eyes sparkling in radiance, she exuded a calm
elegance. "Please, suit yourself. | already know who you are. My nis Marsha Kirana Tidebringer."

She extended her hand, and Marsha clasped it firmly, her grip cool but steady. Without preamble, Marsha added,
"I'm in the middle of comprehending one of my skills. Let's speak later."
She lowered her gaze back to the book without waiting for a reply. Eleanor nodded, respecting her focus, and
settled in beside her. She opened a copy of Voltaic Strikes and began reading intently.

Just then, the library door opened. A woman in an indigo robe stepped inside, her presence commanding
immediate attention.
Raijin’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. He shot to his feet and called out loudly, "Professor Nova! Cadet
Eleanor has sneaked into our library and is reading skill books without permission!"
