These are the excerpts from Kouichi's class in order for convenience.
"Okay class, can anyone tell me the different types of magic? Haw many are there?" the teacher asked.
"There are two," came Kouichi's soft voice. "Those that affect the elements and those that affect the physical body."
"Almost," she replied. "There are three."
"Three?" Kouichi asked.
"The third type is enhancement," she continued. "Can anyone tell me which type is the most dangerous?" Silence greeted her. "Anyone?"
"Physical?" a small kid asked.
"No," another student replied before the teacher could. He gently moved his blue-ish hair from over his violet eyes.
"Ken, mind explaining to the class?" the teacher irately asked, not too thrilled about being interrupted,
"Enhancement is the most dangerous magic," Ken stated. "Because it is not a magic at all, is unable to be contained by other magics, and is very difficult to control."
"If it is not magic then what is it?" a snobby kid that didn't really care for Ken in the first place asked.
"An aspect of the subconscious."
"Correct. Enhancement is actually the body protecting itself. It is very rare, and is most dangerous because it cannot be detected using normal magical means. It also will only begin to show itself through subconscious means, like danger or anger. Another reason it is dangerous and difficult to detect?"
"It is not genetic."
"Correct again, Ken. Now, can you tell me the difference between the three magics?"
"Elemental magic only affects the elements like fire, ice, earth, et cetera. I think you all know them. Physical only affects the body, like speed and senses. It can even grant a sixth sense. Enhancement can be for one, both, or neither."
"Then what is the difference?" she inquired.
"Elemental and physical magics draw energy from the environment, enhancement uses the body's aura. Enhancement can also push things passed the physical boundaries. It can literally push things passed the breaking point."
"Yes, now can anyone tell me the mortality rate for kids born with enhancement magic?" she asked, getting even more irked when Ken spoke up again.
"About one in every one-thousand children will be born with enhancement magic. Only one out of every one-hundred will survive."
"Correct. Can you explain why that is, Ken? After all, you seem to hold all the answers." It was not hard to see that she was plenty ticked off by this point.
"An infant is run by its subconscious, and every minor thing seems big to them. It causes an overreaction with the enhancement magic that normally proves fatal. By the time they are three months old and that reaction gets quelled, most are already dead."
A deep silence fell over the class.
"Yes, Ken, that's what happens... Now on to a brighter subject; fire elemental magic. Who can tell me where that began…?"
