135 – Magic (1)
Something confusing happened, but that didn’t mean the day stopped.
Time passes regardless of whether Ellie was chosen by Chaos or not.
So, this means that when you wake up in the morning, you have to go to class.
Now, I am used to walking around freely on my own, and the academy has also adapted to my presence.
More than anything, the greatest advancement is that we remain quiet and do not cause accidents.
Sometimes, when I feel tired while walking, I just play the game board in the forest of chaos and that’s the end. Rod gave permission for this directly.
‘I’m making money steadily.’
I decided that I would manage the money myself, not Rize.
As soon as I found out that it was Jane who had invested following the stock market hit, all my doubts disappeared.
It can be said that I have been granted considerable freedom in this matter. Instead, the moment you have another accident, all eyes will be focused on you.
‘Let’s be careful. ‘You have to show that you are accustomed to civilization.’
Final exams are quickly approaching, and a special event will be held after the final exams.
At that event, major figures from around the world gather, and there is a lot of room for political involvement.
More than anything, rumors about me will have spread, so I have to try not to get caught for nothing.
‘There will definitely be someone who starts a fight.’
It’s up to you to do it at that time. What I need to pay attention to right now is the final exam.
I am a little curious since you said there are no unnecessary penalties. How did you get the balance right?
Currently, the gap between me and other students is very severe. Even professors will have a hard time beating me.
Furthermore, since the Berserk has disappeared and ‘Runaway’ has been gained, Hector can win while maintaining his rationality.
‘I’m a little excited.’
Interesting things are happening every day these days. There aren’t even any accidents.
If we continue like this, we will be able to proceed with the story normally. I thought so.
“Okay, today we’re going to practice basic magic. It’s a little late, but it’s just the basics, so please be kind to us.”
This afternoon’s class is basic magic practice. It is time to learn the basics of magic under Godin’s guidance.
If you follow the previous lesson, it doesn’t matter whether you learn magic or not. To be prosperous, you have to dig just one well.
In that sense, it is not very efficient for warriors to learn magic, but it is good to learn basic magic.
“It’s not a bad thing to learn magic at a basic level, especially when you can use the surrounding terrain. For example, ignite oil to create a large flame, or send lightning into a puddle to create a group fire. “Electric shock, etc. Even if it’s basic magic, there are many uses for it.”
It is as explained by Godin. If you learn even a little bit of magic, your options increase significantly.
Actually, you need to have a good head for that, but it’s okay. Anyway, it is helpful for survival.
“Here, I will classify those who have already learned magic and those who have not. Those who have learned magic will be over there with an assistant, and I will teach the rest myself.”
After hearing those words, I stood in front of Godin. Among my group, except for Grace, everyone is on the Godin side.
Afterwards, Godin checked our faces with a smile and clapped his hands to attract attention.
“None of you here have ever used magic, right?”
“I can use it if it’s lightning.”
Kara quietly spoke up. Since he is a believer in the Gulag, this means he can use lightning.
Godin responded by nodding his head as if he knew he would say such a thing.
“It’s not magic, it’s faith. Faith is a power that is expressed through will. It is quite different from magic that is expressed through language.”
“So which of the two is better?”
“I can’t say which one is better. To put it simply, you can think of magic as diversity and faith as strengthening physical abilities.”
To put it simply, you can shoot lightning arrows with magic, but faith is difficult.
Rather than a lightning bolt, it is like spewing out a bolt of lightning from the hand. Like the aliens that appear in some space war game.
Furthermore, when faith reaches its peak and attracts lightning, the sky will be filled with clouds.
If magic creates clouds directly, faith is a way to attract natural clouds.
“Anyway, magic is revealed through language, as explained so far. In this way.”
Godin moved his fingers flexibly, as if writing letters in the air.
I wrote slowly so that we could easily follow along, so I could roughly understand what I was writing.
“Fire.”
Good luck!
When he finally said fire, fire came out of Godin’s hand. It is large enough to cover the palm of your hand.
I have experienced fire magic countless times while taking various tests and training. So I wasn’t very impressed.
This also applies to other people. Perhaps because most of them are warriors, they look like they are just watching.
“It is the simplest magic. In particular, fire magic, along with water, is an element that we humans can use best. It is an element directly related to survival, so it will be imprinted on the body.”
In fact, magic related to fire and water is easy to learn. I could probably use it right now too.
Fire is the beginning of civilization, and water is the source of life. For that reason, it is imprinted in the genetic unit.
“Professor. I have a question.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“You said that magic is language, but some people said, ‘Burn!’ And created a large pillar of fire. How did this happen?”
This is a magic that was often seen in tests and practice. With those words, a great fire burst out of the ground.
Godin praised the question, saying it was a very good question, and then showed it himself.
“Burn up.”
The mouth clearly said that, but the hands were writing ‘pillar of fire’. Speech and writing are different.
Howling!
But the result was the same. Although it is small, probably due to the use of the common language, it is a pillar of fire that I have often seen before.
This alone was not enough, but Godin continued to show it through his actions.
“Soar. Soar. Soar. Burn.”
Howling! Grumbling!
They spoke different words with their mouths, but the words they wrote with their hands were always the same.
The results were not much different. Although each shape is different, it is natural given the characteristics of fire.
“As you can see, although the words spoken are different, the word pillar of fire is the same. As I said in the first class, there are countless words with the same meaning as ‘see’. If you capture the characteristics of the pillar of fire well, no matter what you say, “It doesn’t matter. But Taolala is the most suitable, so it’s used a lot.”
“Oh…”
“Do you have any other questions?”
Is it possible? We are all people who prefer to move our bodies rather than our heads.
Godin quickly skipped over this to see if he was aware of it, and went straight to practice.
Before practicing, he handed each person a recording device.
“It’s good to check yourself every time you fail. Is your pronunciation clear? Or is there a mistake in the letter? It’s not good to just blindly fail.”
I was worried while listening to that explanation. Which language should I use?
It doesn’t matter whether you use Hangul or the common language of this world.
It’s still difficult because it hasn’t been long since I learned the common language.
But if I write in Korean, I think I’ll get some suspicion.
‘It doesn’t matter if I can’t do it.’
Anyway, what you will learn from Godin is defensive magic. If you just learn that, you don’t need magic.
I handed over the recording device that had been given to me earlier and looked around.
This is to find out whether other people are doing well.
“Uh, huh? Hey, why doesn’t this turn off? Turn it off! Turn it off!”
“Be careful. Be careful.”
There was a student who succeeded in lighting a fire with his hand, but failed to put it out.
It is very simple to turn it off. If you don’t use magic power, it’s over.
Moreover, the magic that blossoms with one’s own magic does not cause any damage to oneself.
Of course, you will not be harmed by the magic itself, so you will have to deal with the aftereffects yourself.
‘Start with fire…’
I focused my magic on the tips of my fingers. Honestly, it is difficult to precisely control red magic.
Let’s recall that we chewed on pores and condensation right away. To me, magic is concentration.
Maybe magic can help improve concentration. I have no intention of becoming a wizard.
‘The common language is fire…’
I slowly wrote words in the air. It was written very meticulously to prevent accidents.

Finally, I finished the task of speaking. I focused on the tips of my fingers and quietly opened my mouth.
“Fire.”
Good luck!
Luckily, a small light came on at the tip of my finger. No, not just the fingertips, but the whole hand.
I was just about to think, “It’s okay for the whole hand.” When I looked closely, I saw that my entire arm, beyond my hand, was on fire.
‘How far has this gone?’
It was around the time when I was aware of my entire body.
“Ugh! That, that!!”
“Huh?”
Someone’s shocked cry reached my ears. I turned my head with a puzzled face.
When I turned my head, a student was looking at me. It’s a face that looks like you’ve seen some kind of ghost.
“Mu, radish, radish, water! No water?!”
“Hey! Roll first! Roll quickly, you idiot!”
Antonio shouted, following the other students. I heard that cry and only then did I check my entire body.
I only lit the tip of my finger… But it’s strange. Why is my body wrapped in fire?
Even Ghost Rider only has his head on fire. But my whole body was caught in fire.
“Pour it out!”
Shoo!
As I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on, something rained down on my head.
Judging from the cold feeling, it seemed to be water. Someone had used magic to pour water on my head.
Perhaps thanks to that, all the fire in my body disappeared. My body is so wet that it will be difficult to light a fire anymore.
“Whew… I did a good job of preparing in advance. Are you okay?”
The person who sprinkled water on my head was Godin, as expected. He sighed in relief and asked about my condition.
I roughly shook off my water-soaked hair and answered honestly.
“It’s cold.”
“··· ···”
Godin looked at a loss for words.
*****
After the Ghost Rider incident in Sibar, Godin began to keep a close eye on him.
I never thought it would go beyond simply lighting the fire and burning my entire body. I never thought of this.
‘I’ve never heard of such a case…’
In theory, this is only possible if the body itself is made of magical power. Or maybe the control failed.
Godin gave strength to the latter. Because magic is an ability where precise control of magic power is more important than other abilities.
Even if you learn how to control force, fine-tuning it is still unfamiliar. So this situation must have occurred.
‘The will to learn is good… But the brain is not bad either.’
Godin dried himself off and looked at Sivar, who was concentrating on magic again.
I don’t know what I’m thinking right now, but I’m constantly fidgeting with my feet.
I wanted to be there to help him, but he seemed to have a strong will to do it alone, so I left him alone.
‘I wish I had a bad head.’
As we saw in the midterm exam, Sivar’s application skills are at an incredible level.
Monitoring through suicide attacks and throwing firebombs. I brought up such ideas even before I could adapt to civilization.
What if you learn magic here? I had no idea what kind of extraordinary thing would happen.
Sweet- Squeak-
‘······Why do you take off your shoes?’
Then Shivar took off his shoes and his feet became bare. As Godin, he couldn’t help but wonder.
What on earth are you planning to do again? Just as he was thinking that, Shivar stubbed his toes.
No, it’s not like I’m procrastinating, it’s like I’m writing something. And that too with the big toe.
“······Ara.”
I spoke softly, but I could hear what was being said. This was possible because I opened my ears.
Kwaang!!
But the result was beyond imagination. A large explosion occurred from Shivar’s feet.
Following the explosion, a faint flame flew. From the looks of it, it appears that a pillar of fire has been created from the soles of the feet.
“What, what? What’s happening again?”
“Ah! Tt tt tt!!”
“··· ···”
Godin was at a loss for words again. This time, even his mouth was open in shock.
If you use magic in a close contact situation, a big explosion will occur. This is a phenomenon that occurs when there is not enough space.
This was common sense among common sense, but we did not know about it. I forgot that Sivar was a wild man.
“······Where has he gone?”
“Did it really explode?”
“I’m sure I won’t die like this?”
As Godin was suffering from a headache, an uneasy sound entered his ears. So I hurriedly looked to where Sivar was.
As other students said, Shivar had disappeared from nowhere.
Only traces of the explosion, that is, soot, were engraved on the floor.
“Hey, over there! You know that one?”
“What? Where?”
“Look up! That thing is hanging!”
It was around this time that I laughed out loud at the intuition that I needed to write a statement.
A student shouted, pointing to the ceiling. The ceiling in the training room is quite high due to magic.
“······I guess that’s right? Why is he stuck there?”
“Maybe it’s not stuck, but stuck?”
“It’s surprising that they’re still struggling like that.”
And there was literally a shibbar stuck in the ceiling. He seemed to be fine as he was shaking.
Due to the impact of the explosion, it was ejected at an incredible speed and hit its head on the ceiling in that state.
It is so absurd that everyone is amazed rather than shocked. It has been quiet recently, but an accident occurred again.
Tuk-
“Uh. It’s falling.”
“Avoid everyone!”
Not long after, Sivar, whose head was stuck in the ceiling, began to fall.
The students quickly retreated for fear of being harmed. I had no intention of accepting it.
Boom!
Fortunately, Sivar also landed safely. She seems to have a very good sense of balance.
Then he shook off the fragments of the ceiling that had his hair on them. Then he made eye contact with Godin.
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
“······I’m sorry.”
“······Yes. Thank you.”
It would have been okay if I apologized.
“I will teach you Mr. Sivar’s magic myself. That’s all for today.”
“Yes.”
“Phew…”
Godin sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
Like the hole made by Sivar’s head, I feel sad in many ways.
‘Is this a real person?’
Suddenly, such a suspicion occurred to me.
This guy reads too many comics
