“It looks like the princess of Warden can’t help it if the genius Confucius catches her ankle.”
Melanie laughed happily.
Along with Hubert, he was an excellent magic cadet from the Rofinum School. The two men and women were making their way to the pulpit to be examined.
“You mean you haven’t solved such an easy problem yet? No, it must be a bit difficult to solve everything by yourself.”
The time it took for the men and women of the Rohfinum School to solve this problem was 13 minutes. Without a doubt, he was overwhelmingly first in the class.
‘Have you given up?’
Before submitting the answer sheet to Professor Owen, Hubert glanced back at the Madosei duo.
It was markedly different from before.
Christa seemed to be in charge of assisting, and Lane was diligently writing something down on the rice paper.
‘I must say, genius Confucius… … .’
Seeing that it is not possible to submit the answer sheet within the time limit, are you thinking of teaching a genius Confucius how to solve this problem?
‘Hmph, it’s over.’
Hubert smiled with satisfaction and handed over the answer sheet to Professor Owen.
Owen quickly glanced over the answer sheet, then placed his hand on the drawing paper to channel the magic.
Then, the ring of the magic square drawn on the drawing paper was filled with light, and the moment the light reached its climax, it created a misty vapor inside the classroom and then suddenly disappeared.
“The runes of Jeung and Seo are definitely working. In a short amount of time, this is pretty good.”
The drawing paper on which the magic square was intricately drawn has now become a blank piece of paper. This is because the magic circle shifted from the physical world to the supernatural world as the magic was activated.
“Ha ha, thank you!”
“Don’t shrug your shoulders, you monkeys of the Eight Great Schools. you are the eighth generation On top of that, the Rofinum school that handles the wind! Should have solved this in 2 minutes. That’s why it’s a C grade.”
A C grade? Melanie hesitated for a moment, unable to comprehend the situation. Hubert narrowed his eyes.
“Why C? He was the fastest in the class, and his mathematical formulas must have been perfect.”
“You know the hidden answer best, monkey friend.”
no way… … did you hear that?
No, you made it so skilled that even the death brothers of the school didn’t notice it? Hubert couldn’t answer because he seemed to be stabbed by something.
“I don’t know? Why?”
Just when Melanie was about to start protesting, she suddenly felt someone from behind.
“After the evaluation is over, why don’t you get out of the way?”
Hubert’s eyes twitched. The attention of the other students was focused on the pulpit. Professor Owen raised his eyebrows in interest.
It was Rain and Christa.
A piece of drawing paper was fluttering in the spring breeze in Lane’s hand. The smell of the ink that made up the Pilsan magic square spread thickly.
“Now you can rate us too, Professor.”
* * *
Building a magic square in Pilsan was a race against time.
No matter how talented you are in magic, unless you have the talent to ‘write numbers quickly’, it will inevitably take the same amount of time as others.
Therefore, in contrast to mental arithmetic, it was famous for its use of magic that narrowed the gap between genius and genius talent.
For that reason, most of the wizards in the empire were Pilsan wizards.
Of course, the limitations are as clear as the advantages. Because the ability to create variables and deal with them was overwhelmingly inferior to the mental arithmetic wizard.
Therefore, in order to reach the level of a great wizard or a sage, he had to become a mental arithmetic wizard.
Excluding the unique magic that each individual manifests himself, the common magic created by adults can be selected according to the situation.
Miranzo’s Great Blue Spirit, Orbos’s Celestial Strike, Rin’s Brain Bleeding, etc… … .
Pilsan wizards were called Remidier-type wizards because they used to collect previously drawn magic squares like books and take them out according to the situation.
It means readers.
The reason I tell this story is to explain that most of the Remidière type wizards spend similar amounts of time building magic squares.
“Did you really finish it? How unpleasant! You Madose were smiling at the thought of giving a notice of expulsion to the kids!”
“If you can’t use magic because of just one wind, you won’t be called a wizard anywhere.”
“Hmm, I like that one spirit. It’s no more than my mother’s snot.”
Professor Owen accepted the drawing paper that Lane had submitted, and Hubert, who stood aside and watched it, doubted his eyes.
‘Have you completed the magic square?’
Nonsense. How many minutes do you think the time has passed? 2 minutes? You finished that in 3 minutes?
“Hmm?”
As Professor Owen looked over the answer sheet, his eyes suddenly fluttered.
“The magic square… … It is different from what I suggested.”
The magic square proposed by Owen was a double fan shape, that is, a magic square with only wind magic properties.
“yes. One was drawn in the shape of a fan and the other in a circle.”
It was a magic square in the form of a large circle hugging a fan. The circular magic square gives magic the water attribute.
In short, this is a magic square with dual properties, and has the properties of water and wind at the same time.
“The reason is?”
“The rune of Jeung(蒸) goes well with water-attribute magic. I used the fact that the mathematical formula for constructing this rune would be considerably simplified if water attribute magic was used as the basis.”
“Right, in that case, you can find the answer required by the rune of increase using only the linear equation.”
Then Christa looked at Lane with an expression that she couldn’t understand.
“What, it doesn’t even come out in middle school classes. Where did you learn that?”
“That’s what makes middle school classes weird. Until you learn the runes correctly, you can’t say you’re using magic perfectly.”
“!!!”
Based on his overwhelming understanding of runes, did he shorten the time to the shortest possible time… … Hmph, Owen put his hand on the drawing paper as if he was having fun.
“But you’ll have to see for yourself whether this is skill or eccentricity.”
“Let’s check.”
“You are so confident that you want to beat me! As it became a double-attribute magic square, the difficulty of the formulas that must be used for standing must have gone up.”
The math required by the rune of increase may have been simplified, but the overall difficulty would have increased several times. When using magic, if there is even one mistake in the mathematical calculations, the magic will not work properly.
“Magic injection.”
The magical power flowing through Owen’s palm breathed life into the magic square on the drawing paper.
Light began to seep into the curves, straight lines, and numbers that stretched out vigorously with ink, and the next moment, with a dazzling explosion, unreality was added to reality.
symptoms (蒸).
Drop by drop, misty steam rose in the wind dancing in the air.
The next moment, stand.
The steam spread out in all directions like white wings and then disappeared abruptly.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
A magical feast that even feels artistic, something different from the textbook solutions presented by the Rohfinum school combination.
‘Nonsense. This, this is a coincidence… … .’
Hubert could not understand the thalamus formed on his retina in this short moment. No, I didn’t want to understand.
‘How could such a magic be possible in such a short amount of time… … .’
At that time, the students were doubting both eyes for other reasons.
The gorilla sitting arrogantly on the podium, no, Professor Owen… … Aren’t they clapping with a satisfied smile?
“In the 13 years since I took up teaching, I have met many geniuses, but you guys are the first to show such a novel answer to this problem.”
The gorilla, who had never praised even the priests of his own school, praised Grain Ludwig that much… … ?
No, no.
Christa would have done everything. The genius Confucius would have done nothing. The students thought so.
“I’m really proud of it, but I will give it an S grade. The best grade I’ve ever given on a paper test like this.”
Then, Christa’s eyes, which had been dark with despair, turned bright. I couldn’t believe the current situation, to the point where I looked back and forth between Owen and Lane.
“It’s an overstatement.”
After doubting her ears for a moment at Lane’s answer, Christa shouted as she clenched her hands in a thrill.
“thank you!”
At that time, Hubert, who was watching the situation as if he was dumbfounded, had to keep his mouth shut as the chills ran down his spine.
because of the gaze.
Lane was staring straight at him. As if you knew everything you did. What was in that gaze was a clear threat.
This time I just skipped it, but there is no next time.

From noble mtl dot com
Rumors that Owen, the gorilla, gave students S grades from the first class quickly spread throughout the school.
The rumors also flowed to the four later exponents of the Eight Great Schools, excluding Hubert, and each responded that they were funny.
“A C for that idiot Huberg? hahahaha, I knew that.”
“Nothing too surprising. After all, Christa must have done it all by herself.”
“Ah, sorry. If only I was in the same class as Hubert… … Neither of you should be able to carry your face around by now ♪”
Of course, as much as Christa is the genius of the century, it was no surprise that all of the achievements went to Christa.
Only Professor Owen and Christa know the truth. No, the one who knows the real truth will be Christa alone… … .
Owen knows that Krista and Rain worked together to achieve this result, but in reality, Rain alone accomplished the miracle.
‘I have to say thank you.’
I should have done it, but I couldn’t open my mouth throughout the class. It was only when all the classes on the first day were over that I finally mustered up the courage.
“Hey, Lane Ludwig.”
But when our eyes met the boy’s, I felt my face turn red and I was speechless.
For Christa, who had always been a senior cadet, the fact that she was fully supported by her rival was embarrassing. But being thankful is also true… … .
Christa had too little experience in dating the opposite s*x to express her gratitude by summarizing her complicated feelings. No, there was none at all.
– It’s not strong to simply press down with force, but knowing how to push your back with that force is really strong.
To the guy who proudly gave me such advice and sat down… … I couldn’t erase the debt, but I got help and sat down.
“Let it go. Not knowing that the sky is scary, the high nose is worth turning into clay… … I will bring it to you.”
That’s why I hurriedly left the classroom while muttering in a voice that was completely incomprehensible to the listener.
“That bastard’s clay… … .”
Left alone, the boy caressed his chin for a moment and fell into deep thought.
‘That guy really likes clay.’
It was impossible to deduce mathematically why there were only strange things around me like flies.
‘The beginning was Lista, is this really Lista’s curse? Their names are similar.’
The sheer amount of stupid, forced drama added to this series so far doesn’t bode well.
