216. Insight (1)
Time went by after Smith wrote a letter to his master.
Perhaps Smith had changed his mind with the opening gift he received from Oliver, and he adapted to his new home by selling black magic items to Dinklage’s gym members.
Fighters crew members can also use ordinary emotions instead of processed emotions one by one.
In particular, the executives, including Joe, began to achieve tangible results by identifying the black magic that they should intensively practice and developing a specific fighting style that suits them.
There’s still a long way to go, but Forrest said it’s going smoothly.
To the extent that the meeting with the crime firm that is to be held in the near future has good results.
‘Of course, there are people who believe that you have to show it, so you have to take a test.’
test. It was the first time I had heard of it, but when I think about it, it wasn’t strange.
When the contract between the Crime Firm and the Fighter Crew was officially signed, the Fighter Crew had to pay force and the Crime Firm had to pay a considerable amount.
It was a natural desire and a right to want to check the performance of the product.
There was no problem at all. Oliver’s job didn’t change either.
Doing my best to teach black magic to the members of the fighter crew.
Oh, of course, that wasn’t the only thing I had to worry about.
“······ Complete the above class.”
A blackboard filled the wall. And Kevin, who had written down the various magic tricks and magic theories that filled the blackboard, shook off the chalk dust from his hands and said,
Obviously, as Gwi Dong-nyang would hear, the first class of the semester ended with only a light greeting.
It’s pretty tight too.
Thanks to this, the few students who could not even bring their writing implements had to remain silent, and the diligent students who had brought their writing implements rushed to follow along.
Even if they didn’t pay attention to their eyes, they could see the embarrassment and regret they felt.
The low-pitched complaints are proof of that.
Among the dogs, there was a sarcastic voice, referring to Kevin’s skin color. Of course, I said it so low that I could never hear it.
Oliver personally could not understand.
It was true that Kevin’s class was tight, but it was one of the best lectures Oliver had ever taken.
At least compared to Joseph and Merlin.
The black magic teacher, Joseph, didn’t do well in the class itself, and he didn’t always teach me more than the minimum level of knowledge.
In Merlin’s case, he didn’t lead the class, he just filled in the gaps based on Oliver’s self-study.
On the other hand, Kevin’s [Introduction to and Basics of Fire Magic] lecture is efficient, but at the same time, it is effective as he removes the fat and accurately points out the key points, even though it is tight, and at the same time, it increases the scope of knowledge by allowing us to look at certain parts from various angles.
For example, by pointing out that all magic of the Elemental School is based on a single basic formula, and explaining the importance of the basics,
Using this advantage, elemental magic of other properties could be used sufficiently.
It was a fairly convincing theory, since the speaking party used fire magic and earth magic.
‘There is also pure magic school magic.’
Recalling his past battle with Kevin, Oliver thought.
He used a huge stone pillar as a medium to form a huge magic net to separate the inside from the outside.
It was the addition of the skills of the Pure Magic School.
Suddenly, Kevin wondered how he could handle so many different types of magic. Maybe it’s because he’s Merlin’s disciple.
Anyway, Kevin taught various types of magic based on the formula, and kindly explained the basic application method on the blackboard.
Each one was interesting and there was absolutely nothing to complain about, but strangely, the students seemed to think differently.
Kevin seemed to be aware of this too.
He asked as he walked down the hallway.
“How did the students react? class.”
Oliver answered honestly.
“There were some people who didn’t like it. About half of it.”
“Oh, that’s great. It’s only half that.”
“Yes?”
Oliver asked the unexpected answer.
“It’s amazing, only half of it. I knew there would be more.”
As Oliver still didn’t understand, Kevin explained further.
“The horse tower has its own history, and as it grows in size, there is no choice but to add fat. There are a lot of people who just want to get grades and a name for themselves than those who really want to improve their skills here.”
oh·····. Now he seemed to know what he meant. Merlin once talked about this.
“There are more people who want to get good grades and manage their grades than those who want to be taught to improve their skills. No real education, just grades. The magnification of the tower and the abolition of bureaucracy. I was going to close the class when the number of people ran out, but it’s going to stay close. The class budget will be reduced a bit.”
Everything Kevin said was sincere. I tried hard to teach, but if there was no one to follow, I was willing to throw it all away. He was sincere and strict at the same time.
“How were you? my class?”
“Is that what you mean?”
“Yeah, the reason you work here is to take classes, right?”
That was correct. The main reason Oliver joined the tower was the use of the tower’s library and class attendance.
In fact, he had already attended another class and auditioned in exchange for helping with work.
Of course, there were more cases of getting kicked out.
“Personally, it was interesting. Professor’s lecture. The method of changing the nature of magic based on the basic techniques commonly used in elemental magic was very admirable.”
Oliver had already freely transformed the nature of magic, but there was no lie in those words.
Strictly speaking, Oliver’s use of magic of a different nature was nothing more than an imitation of what he saw.
That is, there is no intermediate process.
He knew it sensibly, but it was not established in his head, so knowing this fact itself was a great learning and joy for Oliver.
“It’s a good attitude. It is not a true genius who only believes in talent and settles down. It’s really true to hone your talents… I will share the contents of the class in the future, so study in advance and prepare the necessary materials.”
“Yes, I understand····. professor. Speaking of words, is it okay if I go to prepare for the next class?”
“Next class? oh·····. Magical Combat Fundamentals.”
“Yes, it starts in two hours, but I think we need to install a sandbag for testing in advance. It’s a job that takes some time.”
Kevin nodded, and Oliver thanked him and immediately moved to get ready for class.
***
Kick tick tick.
Oliver installed the magic sandbag he had received from the maintenance room on the floor.
After tightening the screws to secure the magic sandbag, Oliver took the wire from the bottom of the bag and threaded it into the cord placed in the corner of the training ground.
It is one of the supply chains that supplies the entire elemental school tower, and as soon as the connection is completed, it is visible with both eyes that the mana is supplied to the sandbag via a rope.
Oliver activated the sandbag to see if it worked.
Then, the magical power supplied by the rope moved according to the specified formula, and eventually the magic took a concrete form with a pile of human models.
Looking back, it was truly a luxury item.
You could just use an ordinary sandbag, but to make something like this for even a little more effective training.
You might think that it is an exaggeration to say that it is an object operated by mere magic, but Oliver, who had already seen the performance of this sandbag, could not say so.
On a day when Kevin was not in class, I found another professor’s class and helped out with chores, so I could find out the specific use of this sandbag.
It wasn’t just a pile of magical power, it was a huge object that reproduced the damage of an actual attack.
It was created in collaboration between the School of Life and the School of Hextech, and it is said that thanks to this, it is possible to find out the specific power and effect of magic and to measure the skill of the magician in detail.
“installed····.”
said Oliver, turning off the sandbag. And then I checked the other fixtures.
It wasn’t a big deal, it was just a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
Magic combat training had as many accidents as experimentation and alchemy, but always had to be thoroughly prepared.
“Should I get a new fire extinguisher?”
Oliver muttered as he looked at the fire extinguisher with an ambiguous amount of magical power inside.
The people in the maintenance room didn’t like Oliver, so I had to be a little wary of going there, but shouldn’t we be properly prepared?
Who knows? What will happen from day one?
As he was thinking about it, Oliver turned his head as he felt a rush of emotion.
Eyes met with Yareli Iceeye, who opened the door and entered the training room.
“Are you here?”
Oliver greeted him casually.
***
A few minutes after Yareli arrived, the other students also entered one by one.
The types of people were quite diverse. physically and psychologically.
Some had high-quality magical powers, some were against it, some were curious about the class, and some were just dissatisfied.
“Damn, if I had just put the lecture on time, I wouldn’t have come to this class.”
“Think good. Seeing the Ice Princess is here too, who knows if it’s a pretty good class? look. And there’s Derek Redhill.”
Oliver reflexively turned to look at the men named Yareli and Derek Redhill.
Coincidentally, Derek Redhill was also acquainted with Oliver.
Man caught talking to Oliver about books in the library.
As he had seen before, he harbored in his body a powerful magical energy, along with a triumphant emotion.
Expected to be quite capable with Yareli. And some of them caught my eye.
It seemed that he had other intentions besides simply taking classes.
Awkward….
With five minutes left of class, Kevin with black hair and red skin came in.
The air changed with him.
This was the usual reaction. Some students mentioned the color of Kevin’s skin and refused to acknowledge his authority as a professor.
When I saw Kevin in person, there was only a slight difference, but everyone was nervous and frozen.
Kevin’s high knowledge, rich experience as a war wizard, and his unique stern personality all come together to come out of his body and exert influence around him.
It was a familiar sight to Oliver because he had already seen it in the previous two classes.
thump. thump. thump.
An open magic battle training room. Kevin walked in front of the students.
His regular footsteps and silence naturally drew people’s attention.
“It’s nice to meet you all. This is Kevin Dunbara, a professor and master of the School of Elements. This semester, I will be taking on [Magic Battle Fundamentals].”
Unlike other professors, Kevin did not use a loudspeaker and spoke only with magic in his voice.
Still, the voice was clearer, heavier, and evoked a pleasant tension.
“I’m going to cut my head off and start taking the test right away. First of all, I want to understand the level of the students, so come out one by one and tell me which school or small school you belong to, and use magic on the punching bag…. Students with hands up there, tell me.”
“What kind of magic should I use? professor.”
“Good question. Everyone can use their own magic. Based on that, we plan to provide education for each level.”
The students showed interest in the words.
It wasn’t about adapting the student to the class, it was about adapting the class to the student.
It was quite unusual, Kevin argued, but it was the most effective way to teach.
It was said that the magic battle class, which is mostly practical, is not as good as not taking it if the level difference between the student and the class is huge.
In other words, this first class is the first button that determines future classes.
Oliver, who was standing in a corner, as if he was missing, took an evaluation sheet from his magic bag and prepared to fill it out.
“There, Professor.”
Derek Redhill, the man in the spotlight, raised his hand.
“Yes, student. Are you planning to do it first?”
“Yes, but before that, I want to ask you a question.”
“It’s a question…. what?”
“Why is that person preparing for the evaluation?”
Derek pointed to Oliver in the corner of the training room with an evaluation sheet and a pen.
The other students followed Derek’s fingers to see Oliver.
Seeing Oliver preparing for the evaluation, everyone frowned and lit up with displeasure.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t quite understand why people who aren’t even part of the official Matoap are evaluating us.”
“Don’t worry. I will use that employee’s evaluation as a reference only, and I will make a separate evaluation.”
“I’m sorry, Professor. The important thing is that that person evaluates.”
Derek’s feelings shone with an arrogant and arrogant pride.
I’ve seen quite a few people who are proud of themselves, but in Derek’s case, the level was different.
To the point where I can’t even recognize Oliver at all.
Interestingly, others expressed their dissatisfaction with the class, agreeing with those feelings.
Kevin’s calm emotion lit up with a slight irritation.
“What is your school and what is your name?”
“This is Derek Redhill from the Soso-Agni School. professor.”
Derek responded politely but confidently. If there was a disadvantage due to this, he expressed his willingness to bear it.
Glowing in emotions such as pride, complacency, pride, and narcissism.
“Yes, Derek student. Can you provide specific reasons why the employee is dissatisfied with your evaluation? If there is a reasonable reason, I will gladly accept it.”
“As I said before, isn’t it not even an official mato? And then there’s magic aplasia. I found it by accident when I was looking for classes.”
murmur murmur. the students shouted.
“Is it a problem that I am not a member of the official Magic Tower and have a dysgenesis?”
“Evaluating us is a problem. Other professors wouldn’t like it, either.”
defective. I once heard it once. Before Duncan died, he said he was not defective.
“I don’t understand. Magic combat classes are literally meant to be strong. By the way, what’s the problem with whether you belong to the Magic Tower or not?”
“····professor. Unless I’m misunderstanding, that guy sounds like he’s stronger than us. Than us who were formally trained in the horse tower.”
“At least you’re not the kind of person you see easily.”
“yes?”
“Being strong isn’t just about using stronger magic. It is a common misconception that people with limited knowledge can make.”
At Kevin’s calm words, Derek’s face, who had always had a confident smile, wrinkled. He lit up with extreme insults as if he had been hit in the face.
“Then, could you please allow me to check what level I am with little knowledge?”
“Are you applying for a match?”
“Yes.”
Derek answered firmly. Kevin thought for a moment, then looked at Oliver in the corner and asked.
“Zenon. Are you thinking of doing it?”
“What·····. If it is work, I will do it.”
