The books crashed heavily onto the floor, making a dull thud and stirring up a cloud of fine dust.
The apprentices widened their eyes, staring at the hefty magic tomes in undeniable disbelief, completely stunned on the spot.
Lynch waved his hand, and the books floated automatically to the front of each apprentice.
He said slowly, "These books were carefully selected by me, and each one corresponds to your respective specialties: alchemy, rune studies, array formation, plantology, bloodline study, and the matching magic models."
"Each subject has its unique value, and as my apprentices, you will have the opportunity to delve deep into this knowledge."
The apprentices thought they had misheard.
Saul summoned the courage to step forward and ask, "You... Are you saying you're going to teach us magic? Actual magic?"
Lynch nodded, "Yes."
Pausing, he pointed to the books before them, "Open the books in front of you."
