Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 619

Shannon was the other standout among the two.

Though there were fewer than 30 students for this cohort of newcomers, they were divided into two classes for effective teaching.

Both Shannon and Mike, the two most attention-grabbing newcomers, ended up in the same class by some twist of fate.

After Logan entered the class, he glanced casually at the class of a dozen or so students before his eyes locked on Shannon and Mike.

They were conveniently seated in adjacent rows. That saved him from having to look in two different directions.

Unlike standard university teaching methods, the mystic school took a more freeform approach to tailor to students with different knowledge and exposure to mystic arts.

In short, the teaching style was simple and direct.

For the first class, Logan didn't start any theoretical lessons.

"I'm Mr. Cain, and I'll be responsible for teaching the Stonehaven Order. Since this is our first class, I'll start with teaching talismans."

After a brief introduction, he called out to Shannon, "I heard you drew a rain-casting array on the spot during the entertainment program after learning it from Skylar.

"Since you're talented in picking up skills quickly, I'm going to test you today."

Without waiting for Shannon to respond, Logan took an empty talisman from his desk and slapped it onto the board.

Then, he picked up a cinnabar pen and moved the pen across the paper in swift strokes with a serious expression. The talisman was completed in less than a minute.

Most students hadn't even registered what they were seeing by the time he finished. Some couldn't even identify the type of talisman he had drawn, while others whispered about what it could be.

Some students sympathized with Shannon, thinking she'd been unfairly singled out due to her eye-catching performance online.

Shannon understood his intentions and didn't resist. She met his gaze confidently and stood up to walk toward the front of the class.

Logan observed her youthful face and noted that her eyes carried a calmness far beyond her age. There was a sense of clarity in them, as if she could see through everything.

She showed no signs of fear even when faced with a challenge.

Logan narrowed his eyes slightly. His challenge today wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After watching footage of her online, he'd grown curious about her especially when she'd received special attention from Albern.

Prodigies were fairly common in the world of mystic arts, and a simple photographic memory wasn't enough to garner such significant attention from Albern.

What had intrigued Logan, and perhaps even Albern, was the rain-casting ritual; the rain that had called upon the Strength of the Dragon Deity.
