Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 264: The Outing Day

In the Academy, every cadet was focused on strengthening their combat prowess. Even Maira, usually playful

and carefree, had grown serious, spending long hours training in the Endless River of the Water School.

The Endless River served the spurpose for Water students as the Thunder Seed Room did for those of

Lightning. It was a vast dfilled entirely with water, where students would submerge themselves to train.

Once completely immersed, they would enter a trance-like state in which a flowing river manifested within their

mind.

The Endless River could sense each student's affinity with the water element and adjusted its current

accordingly. For beginners, the river flowed gently. As one’s attunement deepened, the current grew stronger

and faster, until it raged like a storm-fed torrent. The greater one’s elemental aptitude, the more furious the

current became. When a student finally reached their limit, the Endless River would lift them gently back to the

surface.

Meanwhile, Eleanor continued to refine her abilities. With her wilderness survival classes concluded, she devoted

more tto honing her lightning spells. In theory, she had already caught up to the other Lightning students,

but her lack of practical experience still showed in her casting speed and precision.

Lightning was the most volatile and swift of the basic elements... not merely electricity, but the embodiment of

speed, impulse, and kinetic force. It emphasised piercing strikes and rapid, concussive power. Yet that same

volatility made it dangerous; a moment's lapse in control could harm allies, or even the caster herself.

Although Eleanor had mastered Bolt Step and Static Flash, her casting twas still slower than her peers.

Fortunately, her extended training within the Thunder Seed Room had given her a remarkable degree of

control... impressive for someone who had only recently awakened to the element. Her training with Commander

Annabeth Chase, combining Voltaic Strikes with martial arts, had made the movements almost instinctive. That

synergy of discipline and precision had already earned her quiet praise from several professors.

But she was still struggling with her active ability, Electroreception, which centred on detecting the bio-electric

fields of nearby living beings. She also faced difficulty with her passive ability, Energy Comprehension, which

involved sensing electrical currents, energy patterns, and even the flow within technological systems. According

to Professor Novalyn Riven Thunderwing, both abilities would sharpen naturally over twith sufficient

practice.

Though their first encounter had been less than pleasant, Professor Nova proved to be an exceptionally helpful

teacher. She taught like a friend... approachable, patient, and clear... yet her temper was quick to flare whenever

anyone broke even the smallest rule. For her, discipline and obedience to command cbefore everything

else; beyond that, she was remarkably easy-going.

Professor Nova had personally guided Eleanor through the fundamentals of several lightning spells, even

granting her private lessons to help her catch up as a latecomer to the school. Under her instruction, Eleanor

learned two new spells... Lightning Touch and Lightning Projectile.

Lightning Touch was one of the most basic offensive techniques of the lightning element. Eleanor would channel

energy through her fingertips, releasing a concentrated surge of electricity upon contact... a stunning, powerful

jolt. It was, in essence, a refined adaptation of her bloodline skill, Voltaic Strikes.

Lightning Projectile, on the other hand, was the standard ranged attack for all lightning students... a focused

sphere of charged energy hurled from the palm. Simple but versatile, it provided excellent reach for early

combat training.

The Lightning School also offered several higher-tier spells, available for purchase in exchange for Academy

points. However, Primary Term students were strictly barred from acquiring them. Only after achieving

ascendance could a cadet buy and attempt to master these advanced techniques, as their power required the

spiritual capacity of an ascendant to control.

Naturally, that didn’t stop Eleanor. With a bit of illicit help from Nora, she hacked into the school’s server and

uncovered the names of those coveted spells... Lightning Cocoon, Lightning Infusion, Lightning Forge,

Thunderstorm, and God Step.

Lightning Cocoon was a defensive spell, enveloping the caster in a crackling cage of electricity. It was not a solid

barrier, but rather a disruptive field that distorted and repelled incoming physical strikes and magical attacks

alike.

Lightning Infusion was not a single spell but a foundational technique. The caster would continuously channel

lightning through their own body, supercharging the nervous system and muscles. When mastered, it granted

Enhanced Reflexes and Enhanced Speed... a hallmark of advanced lightning users.

Lightning Forge involved creating temporary constructs of solid lightning... blades, hammers, shields, or any

weapon the caster could imagine, pure energy made tangible and devastating form.

Thunderstorm was a wide-area assault, summoning lightning from the skies to strike all targets within range. It

was a deadly, high-level spell, but not without its flaw: it made no distinction between friend and foe. In group

combat, it could annihilate allies as easily as enemies. Yet, in a one-versus-many confrontation, its sheer

destructive power was unmatched.

God Step was the pinnacle of lightning movement... the ultimate evolution beyond Bolt Step. Where Bolt Step

allowed the caster to leap through space in their physical form, God Step transformed the entire body into living

lightning, traversing space like a thunderbolt itself. Wherever a lightning projectile could reach, the caster could

appear in an instant.

Eleanor understood her present limits and capabilities well enough not to attempt such advanced spells. Still,

she had carefully read through every grimoire, committing their intricate theories to memory... preparing for the

day she would finally be ready to wield them.

The long-awaited day had finally arrived... the day when cadets of the Primary Term were permitted to visit the

ancient city of Kvernheim, often referred to as the Centre of the Earth.

That morning, the cadets were instructed to explore the city, relax, and enjoy themselves. Each was provided

with two hundred dollars in spending money. The outing was optional; those who preferred could remain within

the academy. The only rule was simple yet strict... anyone who ventured out had to return to the academy’s city

office before sunset.

Kvernheim was known for its

remarkably low prices, making it a

haven for indulgence. Most cadets

treated themselves to exquisite local

dishes and delicacies Spaterdl

Passing through the teleportation gate, Eleanor and her friends found themselves once more in the familiar office

room... the very place where they had first entered the academy. The attending staff there repeated the

standard instructions and reminded them not to bring any items back from the city, as they would be thoroughly

scanned upon re-entry.

It turned out that Room Thirty served as the exit to the academy's city office. A male staff member sat at the

reception desk, scanning each cadet’s device in turn. When it was Eleanor’s group's turn, he looked up and said,

"Make sure you don’t delay your return. If you're late, your points will be deducted."

He also informed them that once

outside the academy office, the

pockets of their uniforms would

cease to function. Only ascendants

could use storage spaces beyond the

After exiting the office, Eleanor turned to Ophelia and said, "Go and enjoy yourself with the others. I'll catch up

later." She then walked alone towards a nearby intecafé.

Inside, the café was quiet, with many empty tables scattered around. Eleanor chose a corner seat by the

window, where she could enjoy a view of the bustling street outside. A waitress soon approached, and Eleanor

asked how she could access the internet, as she didn’t have any device with her.

The attendant... a striking black

woman, likely of African descent,

gave a warm, professional smile.

"Miss, we have several options," the attendant said politely. "You can rent a tablet for five dollars per hour, a

standard laptop for ten, or a gaming laptop... loaded with the ten latest games for twenty dollars per hour.

Inteaccess is free. Which would you prefer?"

"Gaming laptop. It'll be faster," Nora said in Eleanor’s mind.
