The Illussion school instructor strolled to and fro in front of the four apprentices. Waving his hands gleefully in front of them who in turn looked at their mentor skeptically. The dunmer senior mage did not realize he wasn't being invisible. The man continued to walk around the main chamber of Hall of Elements, oblivious to four pair of eyes observing each of his actions.
Could not stand it any longer, the blonde mage called her teacher, "Sir Drevis, you do realize you're NOT in fact, invisible…don't you?". The dunmer stopped from his happy dance, looked at the dragon born with mouth agape and cursed.
"Damn, I thought I was unseen already! Oh well…you could have told me earlier, girl. It's embarrassing to act as if you're not visible when you're actually not." The senior mage approached the four and stood in front of them. The Eye of Magnus loomed over them, giving light blue hue reflected in the stony hall. "Now where were we left off last week? Let's drop the Invisibility training for once and we'll continue on the subject of mastering the mind."
"Aww…" Onmund expressed his disappointment. He was looking forward for an actual magic training for a while.
"You've done great job on invisibility yourself, so let's continue on training fear spells. This is a great addition to your arsenal when you don't want to fight an enemy. You can either strike them or retreat as your adversaries cower in terror" Drevis Neloren elaborated the fear spell for a while before handed out parchment containing fear spells which the junior members must memorize. "Do keep in mind unless you develop great capability in Illusion school, like I do, you won't be able to affect the mind of the dead, the automaton, and summoned beings. I'll give you 15 minutes to memorize the spell, then we do an actual practice session"
The four of them gathered with parchments in hands, helping each other memorizing the fear spells. The language used as grim, but compared to necromancy and conjuration, the vocabularies used are more friendly to the ears.
They were about to conduct the training when the Archmage approached the class with Ancano in tow, looking not amused. "Hello, students. Good to see you practicing hard. So…Illusion class is it, good Drevis? Do you mind if I take over for the rest of this session?". The four apprentices eyes lit up in excitement. They did not expect the Archmage would teach them in person.
"Oh, even if I do mind, these students seem to be fired up already" the Illusion master laughed. "Are you sure it's okay, sir?"
"This is a good distraction from my research, I'm tired reading books and weaving words all day. Although my advisor disagrees much for me having a little break" the Archmage continues, the Thalmor agent grunted behind him, clearing his throat. Archmager Aren took Drevis' spot in front of the apprentices and continued the lesson with brief explanation of fear spells before he let the class practice their spells.
"But we don't have any enemies to cast our spells on" Onmund said, "We can't possibly use this spell on our own side, now can we?"
"Now, my boy, that is a good question. The answer is, yes we can. Not only this will do good for your spell casting skill, but also will train your own mind. But, if you're so afraid of harming your own friend, you may strike at me" his words surprised the students. But there was no way to refuse the Archmage's offer. "Ah, not only Illusion spells. You may launch any spell you've learned at me, except conjured weapons"
The Archsage formed a barrier around him.
