Now pleased with the fact that he already felt stronger just from his first day of lessons, Lance wasted no time while back in his room and began reading more about alchemy so that soon, he would be able to try and start down that trade.And so, with many new goals in his mind, and teachers who wanted nothing more than for him to succeed, Lance continued as a student for two years and would only learn about new clan affairs through letters delivered to him.
As expected, Lance was able to breakthrough into the 1st rank as a mystic after only the first month of his training, while now he was very close in breaking through to the 2nd rank. However, what shocked everyone who was paying attention in the Griffin Academy, Lance was able to in this time, also break into the 2nd rank as a warrior.
The Griffin Academy, preferred students to remain lower ranked mystics, so that they could be well above average during each breakthrough, however, even with this in mind, Lance"s willingness to spend all day into night training and becoming stronger and researching more, has allowed him to grow his strength a a normal mystic student at a different academy would without such shackles.
Over the two years, Lance was now able to create 1st grade medical pills using the cauldron that the academy provided to every student. Due to this, Lance was able to build a small amount of wealth, while bartering with the teacher in charge of the school"s finances to allow him to purchase materials at a low price.
It was looked down upon by many jealous students, but because of his physical strength as a 2nd rank warrior expert, Lance was able to spar with mystics of the 2nd and 3rd ranks without falling too far behind. Each spar usually ended with Lance running out of strength from being bombarded by countless spells, or him getting close enough to his opponent in order to land a critical blow.
With the help of Lily, Lance had learned more about the human anatomy and was even given some books on demonic beast"s anatomies. With this level of knowledge, Lance"s healing type techniques and skills became even stronger and more effective. However, Lily made it clear that he was still only a beginner as far as being a light elemental mystic was concerned.
After attending both the introductory cla.s.s in the morning and training with Lily in the afternoon for one year, Lily put in a request for Lance to allow his schedule to be altered. She understood half way through the year that Lance wanted to become a dual master and was showing very good progress in this regard, so she wanted to support this.
Therefore, the dean also approved for Lance to spend his mornings training with his swordsmanship among other basic exercises which most experts of the warrior path would do daily to keep up with their training, while in the afternoon, Lily would help teach him many different light element skills.
Some of these skills were of course for healing himself and his companions, but there were other types of basic skills that Lily wanted to teach him including creating a ball of light in order to light up a dark area, to even skills using the light element in more unconventional ways.

And of course after dinner for several hours before falling asleep, Lance spent that time working on his alchemy skills and research. It was a normal speed of growth for an individual who wanted to become an alchemist to reach the level to create 1st grade pills within the first two years, but since Lance wasn"t focused on this all day every day, it showed that he actually had what it took to genuinely succeed in this type of trade.
Due to his recent breakthrough into reaching a one hundred percent success rate with creating 1st grade pills, Lily told Lance that he could take one week off from attending her cla.s.s and should use this time to celebrate his success over the past two years. At first, Lily wasn"t very fond of Lance, but seeing him grow at such an astonishing rate, allowed her to warm up more to him and care more about his well being and future.
Now that it was a full week later after discussing this with her, Lance was now eagerly training his swordsmanship in the morning and was excited to see Lily once again to see what type of new training she might have in mind for him. He was now like a sponge that constantly absorbed information and was able to pick things up right away.
This was not unusual for someone of the mystic path, because mystics were forced to become more in tune with the natural environment around them. In this regard, it allowed mystics to use their intelligence and mental capabilities for a much longer period of time.
