He spent his days conversing with Marcel and immersing himself in non-magical literature, giving his body time to mend.
One afternoon, William and Marcel found themselves in the academy library, discussing the peculiarities of their surroundings.
"Lincoln is such an oddity," Marcel remarked, leaning back in his chair. "I still can't figure him out. While you were recovering, I tried to observe him, but he barely does anything all day. Just eats, reads some letters... that's it."
"Maybe he's just a really dedicated reader?" William suggested, though the explanation felt flimsy even to him. Lincoln's presence at the academy was a puzzle. He didn't teach, he didn't seem involved in re
He began practicing the techniques, starting with the most basic exercises. The movements were unfamiliar, the mana manipulation challenging, and the results initially underwhelming. But William was persistent, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to master this unique form of magic.

"True, true," Marcel conceded. "We can test it tonight. I hear the professors will be... indisposed."
"Indisposed?"
"There's a festival tonight," Marcel explained. "A celebration of some sort. You and I will abstain from the festivities, of course. We need to be at our best for our exploration."
William had been so engrossed in his training that he was unaware of the upcoming event. This was their chance, a window of opportunity to delve into the academy's hidden depths.
As the afternoon progressed, the academy grounds transformed into a festive scene. Students gathered around bonfires, their laughter and singing echoing through the courtyard. William and Marcel, however, remained vigilant, avoiding the merriment and conserving their energy.
Nightfall brought a hush over the academy. The revelers, their spirits dampened by excessive indulgence, stumbled back to their dormitories.
William and Marcel left the dorm, their eyes set on the main building of the academy.
