The truth is in front of you
Rumors about Leon began to spread quickly within the academy.
An unprecedented genius who destroyed a trial automata that was nothing more than the Academy’s mascot at the age of 11.
The fact that even Leon, who had begun to spread fame under the name of Dawn, was so excellent, naturally, the interest of those around him had to grow.
However, the more Leon flew his name, the more confused the reactions around him became.
Although Leon was a child of the famous mage family, Farostel, an atmosphere of jealousy and rejection of Leon was forming because he was a bastard mixed with the blood of the common people.
‘Perhaps the master of the Sirius Duke’s family is the instigator.’
He doesn’t like the duke’s self-control, but who wants to approach Leon even while the duke’s family resents him?
I don’t know if anyone with a clear opinion would know, but these were just children the same age as Leon, who had just turned 11 years old.
‘Is it him? The kid who hit the ball in the entrance exam?’
‘Don’t talk. Did you destroy the test automata without a trace?’
‘You know what I’m talking about?’
‘Oh, I’m sorry. stop without knowing hot haha! . . . how unlucky.’
Leon burst into laughter at the backstory he heard and looked at them, and moved away, avoiding their gazes, startled by the fact that the men who met their gazes were attacking them.
Such a phenomenon could not be seen only in those who had an antipathy towards Leon.
It was almost easy to see the miracle of Moses, where the sea of people split apart by walking to a chaotic place such as a restaurant.
One regret is that even though I did this, my grades were not recognized.
According to the teacher’s words, they argued that the theoretical part could be lacking because Leon was probably from a bastard and did not receive a family education.
‘It’s nonsense.’
In the first place, if you ask Leon what he truly excels in, it is the theory of quantum magic, so he can give an immediate answer.
But on the other hand, it was understandable.
Usually, the children of noble families who enter the academy invite a tutor who has obtained the title of wizard to receive early education.
It was not unreasonable to think that the bastard, who did not have the conditions to receive early education from a tutor, would fall behind in the theoretical part, no matter how good his practical ability was.
And frankly, Leon was also interested.
Leon had already gained insight into the truth of magic through the study of quantum magic, but all the theories were only biased knowledge that came from a single human named Leon.
Leon was in a position to be completely silent about the existence of magic when he was living in a binary world in the modern world, so he had to study magic alone without having to share opinions with anyone else.
It would be a lie if Leon, who has learned magic only through books and self-study, does not get excited about what he can learn at the academy with many pioneers.
And Leon was able to take a class to understand the elements.
“Everything in this world is made of fire, water, earth and wind. So, which of these are creating a state of fire around us?”
In response to the teacher’s question, many students wanted to show off their knowledge by raising their hands.
The teacher picked one of them, and the student said proudly.
“There is the sun and lightning.”
“How can lightning be called fire, but not the sun?”
“Because it generates light and heat by itself.”
The teacher smiled happily at him.
“It was great.”
Leon could not help but be disappointed as he watched the contents of such a class.
But if you think about it, this was quite natural.
A world where the concept of an atom has not yet been grasped.
It was wrong to expect high-level knowledge in the elementary school of an 11-year-old student in a world where temple novels, which are still uncivilized chemical theories, are treated as truth.
And in fact, the temple novel was not a false theory either.Read at noblemtl.com
Just not enough
Fire, water, earth, and air in the temple novel are expressions corresponding to plasma, liquid, solid, and gas, respectively.
To manipulate the elements with magic means to make those states of matter as intended.
So, in the magic theory of this world, magic is not seen as the material of this world.
From their point of view, magic was nothing among fire, water, earth, and air.
But at the same time, it is the power that can create and manipulate all of the elemental elements, so it is defined as a miracle power granted by God.
But what was even more interesting was now.
“Then what is fire? Most substances in this world can change their state. When soil receives heat, it becomes lava and flows like water, and when water receives heat, it turns into steam and becomes wind. But it doesn’t end here, and if you heat the wind more, eventually the material will release all the heat it has absorbed along with the light, which we call fire. So, what are some of the things around us that cannot become fire?”
“Water!”
“Yes. That’s right. Since water is an element of fire and polarity, no matter how much heat is applied, water cannot become fire.”
Huh, true.
The teacher’s eyes turned to Leon when he burst into laughter without realizing it.
“Your student is a senior admissions student you’ve only heard of? Do you have any objections?”
“I wonder why water and fire are opposite to each other.”
“I don’t know the senior admissions student because he was born as a bastard, but as you can see, fire and water are elements that are opposite to each other. Even if the water is not cold, the fire is turned off, and if you heat it with a fire, the water turns into wind and blows away. Fire cannot become water, and water cannot become fire. It is a natural truth. Leon students also want to get good marks in the written test, so it’s good to keep that in mind.”
“Then what if I make fire with water here?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“If that happens, I will be rewriting one of the theories of magic that has long been held to be true. Can you please admit that my level of knowledge exceeds that of elementary school subjects?”
eating.
The teacher ridiculed Leon’s bold claim.
“How can you be so confident with yourself, even without knowing that fire and water are opposites? good. Try it once. If that’s really possible, you might be a once in a thousand-year genius.”
At the teacher’s genius luck, the classmates looked back at Leon with laughter.
No one thought that such a thing would be possible.
So, the genius luck of the teacher was a sarcastic sound from the premise that such a thing would never be possible.
But Leon had no interest in their reaction.
‘How do I convince people who don’t have the concept of an atom yet?’
Even if you make a fire by creating oxygen and hydrogen and claim that it is a constituent of water, it will not be accepted by those who do not have the concept of an atom.
When oxygen and hydrogen are mixed and reacted, water vapor will be generated to some extent, but I thought that it was not enough to convince me.
What immediately came to mind was electrolysis.
It reminded me of my success in electrolyzing water to split it into oxygen and hydrogen through an experiment I did in high school chemistry class.
Ordinary people have an image that water conducts electricity well, but in fact, pure water is an insulator like air, so in order to conduct an electrolysis experiment, you have to mix an electrolyte in water to make electricity pass well.
However, Leon had no choice but to change his method, as it was obvious that they would argue that the fire was caused by mixing something else with the water in front of them.
“Then I will leave the water generation to the teacher. If I make water, you might think I’m doing something different.”
“It’s thorough. I wonder if that thoroughness will make you an outright fool or a downright genius.”
Then the teacher made water with Create Water.
Leon approached the created water and performed magic.
Normal lightning magic cannot pass electricity through pure water.
In order to conduct electricity through the insulator, a strong voltage had to be applied to ionize the water molecules.
“Hatching encephalopathy.”
Fall out!
Electrons fill Leon’s body, transforming into a room-temperature superconductor, and lightning bolts soaring.
The sound of the students swallowing their breath could be heard in shock at the majestic sight.
And it created water, and the teacher standing in front of Leon was no different.
Leon put his finger into the water the teacher had created and passed an electric current.
It ionizes water molecules by forcing electrons to flow between them.
Then the water boils.
Leon ignited the generated gas with sparks.
“This is the flame.”
Whoops!
The gas that ignited first was oxygen generated at the + pole.
Oxygen, a supporting material, reacted with surrounding gases and burned.
“No, what the hell is this…!”
The teacher was startled, but the experiment was not over yet.
“And this is a fireball.”
Another spark was ignited – the hydrogen generated at the pole.
Whoops!
Since the amount of hydrogen generated from the water was not large, it did not exert as strong power as a real fireball, but the binge drinking was quite high.
dump!
The teacher, startled by the explosion, is stunned.
“Hiccup!”
The teacher looked up at Leon and hiccuped without even thinking of getting up from the fall.
Leon looked down at him coldly and said.
“Do you know? As you can see, fire and water are not opposites. Rather, it can be said that water is the origin of fire magic. And as you can see, water is a substance made up of two substances with different properties. hydrogen and oxygen. The source of all matter is that it is not an elemental element.”
There was no more laughter left in the teacher’s eyes.
The only thing that dwells in those eyes is the fear of an incomprehensible being.
“Ha, but then the gods who govern the four elements….”
“Forget the gods. The truth is right before your eyes.”
The teacher’s mouth was wide open.
How the heck is such a rude statement?
forget the gods
Putting them aside, you can call yourself the truth.
Of course, Leon pointed out what was happening right in front of his eyes, but the teacher misunderstood Leon’s words.
But for now, Leon didn’t care whether the teacher misunderstood or not.
“How the hell do you know these things?”
Leon sighed deeply at the teacher’s question.
In the future, similar questions will be poured towards Leon.
And Leon had already decided on the answer to that.
“Did you not tell me? If this is possible, then maybe I’m a genius who only comes out once in a thousand years? Maybe you are right.”
Because Leon is a genius, he knows the answer to all of this.
It was the simplest answer, but it was also understandable because it was simple.
