"Correct," Professor Whitaker replied with a faint smile as she glanced at the raven-haired youth.
She then weaved a simple hand sign and teleported back behind the professor's desk, before continuing her lecture.
Seeing her cast spells with such ease, Adam's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, When a powerful Magus cast spells of lower ranks, they barely need to cast any required spell components. This means complete mastery over lower-ranked spells!
Professor Whitaker was a Rank 3 Magus. When she cast the Rank 2 Spell, Foggy Step, she only needed to weave a simple hand gesture.
Whereas, Adam, who was a Rank 2 Magus, would have to weave complicated hand gestures to cast the same spell.
However, if Adam were to cast a Rank 1 spell, it would be the same as Professor Whitaker casting a Rank 2 spell.
