Chapter 126: Using magic weapons (3)
From that day on, Elodie’s magic classes were held in the workshop.
Because the location of the workshop was so high up in the air, she basically had no fear of being discovered.
“… “This is the concept of magic composition.”
Elodie put down her chalk. At first, it was awkward for her to hold the items made in the workshop, but she soon got used to it. Because there was no difference from reality anyway.
“Of course, the more formulas there are, the more complicated they become. As things get more complicated, startup time also gets longer. So sometimes, we use a formula that combines the two effects to reduce the calculation. Would you say that instead of increasing difficulty, complexity is decreasing?”
“For example?”
“There is a technique called ‘impact.’ It is a technique in which the activated magic attaches to the surface of the target. This is a technique that includes the effects of ‘stop’ and ‘activate separation’. Of course, the number of techniques decreases, but each technique becomes more difficult.”
Fron Deer understood and nodded her head.
“Even if it’s the same four formulas, some are a basic list, but some can be a high-difficulty system that includes the effects of other spells.”
“Yep. “The teacher is happy to have smart students.”
Elodie smiled and nodded her head in satisfaction.
Frondier placed his hand on his chin and made a noise.
‘A combination of magic and combat. There’s a romance to the name, but I understand why no one is trying it. Even if you try to do just one magic properly, there is tremendous depth.’
Of course, the reason Frontier thinks this way is because he already knows Elodie’s skills.
She has tremendous destructive power and a variety of ways to respond to all kinds of situations. She feels just the tip of the iceberg about how much skill she needs to make it happen.
Elodie asked.
“I heard you decided to teach a class for magic warriors?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Is that okay? The use of horse warfare only had a different name, and the system did not function properly even on the Palind Continent. “If that were the case, demon warriors would have been widespread on the continent long ago.”
“Honestly, I was just taking it easy.”
Frontier himself is capable of combining magic and combat. No, he’s already doing that.
So he decided to teach a horse fighting class. He made his own choice.
But being able to do it yourself and enabling others to do the same are two completely different things.
‘Most of my battles involve the use of a unique magic called ‘Weaving.’ Of course, it is impossible for others to follow suit.’
Frontier weaving itself is very closely related to combat. But there aren’t many such magics. In most cases, it is only an auxiliary effect that slightly increases attack power or speed.
“Hector, he was a bigger guy than I thought.”
Elodie was surprised by Frondier’s muttering.
“Hector? “You mean Hector the White Lion?”
“Huh. “Because I saw it at the Tavern.”
“You really have unexpected friendships here and there.”
Elodie let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded.
Hector, son of Lidwi. Of course, this is a secret that few people in this world know about, so I keep quiet about it.
But other than those family relationships, there are few people who don’t know about Hector’s inaction.
“He is the only person who can properly perform the magic warrior that people want.”
“Rather than twisting my fighting style and teaching it to students, it would be better to refer to Hector.”
If Hector is next to me. Frondier sighs and mutters.
Elodie thought about those words for a moment and then said.
“Actually, by my standards, I think it would be more difficult for a wizard to use Auror than for a warrior to use magic.”
“… Huh?”
Fron Deer tilted his head.
From what he feels, his knowledge of magic is much deeper than that of Aurors.
Of course, there are people who use Aurors endlessly, such as Pielot or the Imperial Knight Pascal, but this is also close to the concept of manipulation.
Elodie continued his speech.
“To be honest, I don’t understand Aurors yet.”
“It’s simple. It increases strength and speed by condensing energy in the body and accelerating circulation. “Like a car engine.”
“You can say that because you can use Aurors.”
Elodie shook his head.
“From my perspective, I just accelerated it, but it has an effect that goes beyond a sophisticated technique.”
“… Ah.”
That’s what it sounds like when you listen to it. Frondier is not very impressed since he learned Auror himself, but from a wizard’s perspective, it would look quite strange.
There is a huge difference for a swordsman between being able to use Auras and not being able to use them. Of course, this is under the condition that everything is the same.
For mutants like Pielot who have learned Aura before other basics, Aura may actually hinder their growth.
But other than that, Aurors bring tremendous power to warriors.
It blocks most attacks, makes your attacks stronger, and increases your speed. Some swordsmen like Pascal even emit auras and send them flying.
“From a wizard’s perspective, there is no magic that is that convenient. “It’s like a collection of all the magic that has effects that can be used in battle.”
“… Indeed. “I know what you mean.”
It’s strange to hear it like that.
Why are Aurors so efficient? It is no different from magic in that it uses energy.
An auror without any spells is more effective than a spell that uses a set spell.
‘The reason for creating stronger power is simple. This is because skilled swordsmen use stronger auras. It is possible to condense more energy and create energy.’
In contrast, magic cannot do that.
Because magic does not become stronger by pouring a lot of mana into it.
In order to use strong magic, you must know strong magic.
‘… Hmm?’
From there, Frondier raised his head.
Elodie’s eyes narrowed when she saw that.
“… “Are you thinking about something strange again?”
“Oh, no? It’s not?”
Fron Deer shook her head quickly.
What a strange thought.
They say this is a good idea.
* * *
Before Frondier could experiment with magic when a ‘good idea’ occurred to him, there was something he had to do first.
Atlas’ vacation is just one week away.
That means the final exam is just around the corner.
Accordingly, Frontier must create final exam questions.
“Numbers 1 to 10 are basic problems…”
“The balance of difficulty is definitely…”
Of course, Frontier does not write all the test questions for one subject in the final exam.
No, in fact Frontier did almost nothing.
Atlas tests are written by teachers as a team, and this trend is even more pronounced in theory tests.
While everyone was talking enthusiastically in the conference room, Frondier sat quietly.
‘Is it okay for me to step forward or not?’
To put it simply, Frontier was watching.
Since he was a new teacher, he couldn’t interfere as much as he wanted, and due to his personality, he didn’t really want to do that.
He’s already busy enough. Adding more things to do was a requirement.
“Then, since I have decided on the scope of writing, I will end here today. “Let’s review the test questions we wrote next time.”
The most experienced magic teacher said while organizing.
Even then, Frondier barely came forward. He just gave the appropriate answer according to what was asked.
Yes, indeed, I see. I see. These four words were all that was said in the conference room.
“Then, please take care of Teacher Frontier as well.”
“Yes. “It was numbers 15 to 20.”
Atlas’ written exam, like everywhere else, gets more difficult the further you go. Of course, there are trap problems here and there, but it is difficult to say that this is difficult.
‘At this level, we can proceed without much burden. All types of test questions from the atlas are available in the workshop, so if you roughly put them together…’
I wasn’t thinking very much like a teacher, but I was thinking efficiently.
“Mr. Frontier.”
At that time, teacher Giotto called Frondier.
“Yes?”
“Have you ever thought of making a final problem?”
Frondier looked at Giotto, wondering what this was all about.
Giotto closed one of his eyes so that only Frondier could see him.
As if he was doing something nice for himself.
“Creating the final problem is a huge task. But if you do well, your position will be more certain.”
“… Yes.”
Frondier tilted his head ambiguously.
‘I don’t think new teachers will take on the role of creating problems like this.’
The last problem should naturally be the most difficult, and can only be solved by properly understanding the theory learned so far.
I don’t think a new teacher would be able to handle such an important task.
Is Teacher Giotto suggesting this because he thinks it will help Frontier?
But to be honest, it’s just one more annoying thing to do.
Frondier’s eyes sank.
‘Whether this teacher is on my side or not, he bothers me.’
Frondier looked around.
In fact, the reason he wasn’t worried up to this point was because he thought there would definitely be opposition from other teachers.
However,
“Do you think it’s okay? “I agree.”
“Yes?”
One teacher said, and the other nodded his head.
“Mr. Front Deer has only been here for a short time, but her students’ evaluations are very good. “The quality of the classes is high and the students are knowledgeable in theory.”
“… No. “I just took an ordinary class.”
Other teachers also came forward.
“I also agree. After all, isn’t Ms. Front Deer an outstanding person who developed her three-dimensional map? “It would be a shame to miss the opportunity for talented people to excel.”
“Well, 3D maps have nothing to do with magic theory.”
She wasn’t listening.
Beyond that, he was protecting Frontier.
A situation where everyone hopes that Frontier will solve the final problem.
I found out about Frontier there.
‘No one has any intention of making these people!’
Frontier isn’t the only one who finds it annoying to make the last question.
Of course, if you produce excellent quality, you will be recognized by teachers and receive good evaluations from students, but that only applies if it is possible to produce excellent quality.
What we are doing now is a written test for the theory class. There is no way to improve the quality, and if you make a clumsy attempt and the difficulty level is ruined, you will often end up getting criticized.
They don’t want to bother Frontier.
He just doesn’t want to do it.
“Then it is decided. “Please, Teacher Frontier!”
Meanwhile, Giotto frowned and gave his thumbs up as if he had really helped.
Still, I barely resisted the urge to grab and break it,
“… All right.”
Frondier answered.
‘This is what happened,’
Frontier’s Workshop contains all materials for all classes in the first semester. The essence of knowledge itself, recorded from summary and organization to improvements and supplements.
He has the perfect materials ready to create the ‘final problem’.
‘I’ll make it right.’
Frontier laughed inside his heart where no one could see.
A strange thought occurred to me.
