138 Buhara's Growth

In the world of mages where critical thinking and magic theory were often considered more important than elemental affinity, orcs, known for their lesser intelligence, were often prejudiced against as being unfit to become top tier mages.

Hence, Buhara's choice to pursue his career in mage specialization initially drew a lot of skepticism from classmates as a towering orc with brawny limbs that seemed more apt for the clashing of swords than the weaving of spells, irked many.

During the first week of classes, his presence in the mage classes was met with whispered doubts and open ridicule. However, the past six months had not only silenced his detractors but had also cemented his place as one of the most formidable talents in the university.

The two subjects that Buhara had chosen for his specialization were 'Mage Combat' and 'Spellcraft' which were both highly theoretical subjects needing intense self-study and constant practice to improve.
