[Start calculation!]
As soon as the judging started, the cadets started drawing magic squares on the parchment. The audience at the Dragon Blood Field was a great success.
“I know it can accommodate 5,000 people, but is that full?”
Tirinted of the Magical League Special Administrative Division looked around as if he was interested. Lunen, a huge man with an attractive mustache, nodded.
“Doesn’t that mean there is a lot of interest in this golden generation? Senior Tyrintid must also have a new feeling.”
“Huh, that’s new. I’m from ＜Winterhold＞. Unlike the Southern Sandals, I learned real magic.”
＜Winterhold＞ is a school with enemies in the north of the three major magic universities of the empire, and almost all northern mages were raised there.
The same goes for the Vlado Prince family, famous as the Madose of the North. Because the Vlado clan has only ever entered Deliten once in its long history.
Anyway, the seats were already full, so the two couldn’t sit down and had to stand in the northern aisle and look down at the exam hall.
“So, what do you mean by choosing our successors here?”
“It seems that the manager has already spotted Lane Ludwig.”
“That genius Confucius? Ugh, malsada, malsada. I see you’re picking on a badass guy like Gee. I’m against It’s the extreme opposite!”
“That genius Confucius became the chief cadet, so what’s the problem?”
“hey! I just hate those who don’t live like that and then suddenly pretend to hide their power and show off.”
“Then, who do you want to pick, Senior Tirinted?”
Tirinted, who had graduated from ＜Winterhold＞ four years ago with top honors, was paying attention to Christa Warden, of course.
He’s talented, and it’s nice to see him working hard. I also like being a woman, just like you.
As if Tirinted wasn’t the only one with such a favorable impression, there were already many judges around Christa Warden.
“Two squares, so this is it, earth type magic? Right?”
“Yes, it is. To be exact, it is a summoning technique.”
“Summoning? Hee hee, I don’t need something so grandiose… … .”
“It’s nothing grand. It’s just a versatile doll that can do anything.”
The magic square spun on Christa Warden’s palm, and the next moment sand soldiers surged up and stood at an angle behind them.
“At least two and a maximum of four. You can order anything you want from these soldiers. From chores to civil works, everywhere.”
When the sand soldiers lifted heavy trees or erected foundation stones and raised pillars, people raised their hands madly in admiration.
“Give me one!”
“I-I’ll give you two!”
“I don’t know, just give me all three!”
After reconstructing the kinship limit into a magic square, reprocessing it so that others can use it is not an unusually difficult problem.
To do it so perfectly, as expected, the ability to dominate both the elementary and middle school as the top class doesn’t go anywhere.
Hearing so many mage administrators gossip like that, Professor Caroline had a smile on her lips.
‘is it so. There is nothing to be impatient about. Because the world already knows your worth.’
Starting with Christa Warden, it was, of course, the members of the Eight Great Schools who took the lead.
The Rivendell School’s Lillian Kaline is a fierce flame, and the Harimun School’s Kayden is a clear tone… … .
As an exception, only Logan of the Tchaihak School was disappointed when he tried to put magic on a scroll to help with muscle growth while exercising.
‘That guy with sh*t in his head… … .’
Professor Owen touched his forehead in a sigh. On the other hand, the wizards of Tsaihak who observed this test seemed to wonder why it was not popular.
“Stupid things, that’s not Logan’s fault.”
“Vice dean?”
“The problem is that the world is still too young to know the beauty of muscles. Logan has prepared the best magic as our late exponent.”
“Keugh, too! I believed in you!”
Chaihaq’s wizards are indeed simple.
Compared to Tsaihak, Hubert, the late exponent of the Rofinum School, was updating his scroll sales figures at a crazy speed.
“sector form… … Young wizard, may I ask what type of magic this is?”
“It is wind attribute magic. It is the organ of our Rofinum School.”
Wind is freedom.
And that free attribute naturally resides in the magic of the wind attribute as well.
“If it’s just simple wind magic, is there any point in buying this as a scroll?”
“My explanation was insufficient. It’s not just the wind. It is the wind that changes freely.”
“Changing freely… … wind?”
When Hubert snapped his fingers, the wind revolving in the air changed its shape and changed into a powerful gust.
The gust of wind simply scattered the dark clouds created by Hubert’s magic, creating a clear sky.
It lasted for a while, but this time the wind unfolded in a circular barrier and protected the judges from the rain and wind that scattered the dark clouds with the scattered reverberation.
“The maximum time that can be used is 12 hours. Each change reduces that time, but maybe three is good enough.”
Wow, a wave of sincere exclamation flowed, and soon the judges reached out their hands as if competing to express their intention to purchase the scroll.
1. Christa Warden: Chapter 56.
2. Nora Redeon: Chapter 49.
3. Cayden: Chapter 48.
4. Lillian Kaline: Chapter 47.
5. Hubert: Chapter 46.
6. Gertrude Panton: Chapter 44.
The string that floated in the center of the dragon plasma field before the test began was still shining brightly, revealing the cadets’ competitive performance.
“All of the high-ranking cadets are showing strong competition by making use of the strengths of their families and schools. Very interesting.”
“Yeah, that’s what it looks like.”
Marhena nodded at Kyle’s words. Showing some disappointment.
That feeling of disappointment was a natural feeling for anyone who was interested in the trend of ＜Deleiten＞.
Why not?
The name of the genius Confucius who broke everyone’s expectations and won the top cadet is not in the top 5.
“Didn’t you say that the genius prince of the Ludwig family was the chief cadet?”
“Isn’t that a rumor after all?”
“It could be nonsense. The proof is that the keelstone decoration is attached to the cape of the school uniform.”
It was. Because Lane Ludwig’s current scroll sales number was ‘0’.
Even Logan, who was clearly determined to ruin his performance, is an overwhelmingly modest figure compared to selling 11 copies.
‘Yeah, was it like this… … .’
Lane patted her chin slowly.
If you can’t show magic, you can’t get attention, and if you can’t get attention, you can’t sell scrolls.
In this simple, if simple structure, the magic Lane chose was truly the worst of the worst.
‘The range of magic is too large.’
No matter how large the site of the dragon pit is, there is a limit to demonstrating this magic that instantly creates a breakwater in case of flooding.
‘No, it’s not a level with a limit, so I can’t use it at all.’
Obviously someone will get hurt. If it did, it might be eliminated right away. So what do we do now?
“That guy, what the hell is he doing?”
Christa, who was busy drawing magic squares on parchment while checking the electronic signboard, narrowed her eyes at Lane’s name.
‘It’s still 0 sheets… … I’m not joking right now. What on earth did you trust and hang out with a girl during the test period?’
If it ends like this, I really won’t let you go. No matter how hard I worked, how hard I did with the mindset of defeating you with all my might.
“lane… … .”
As a huge exception, Cassena, who was watching the exam next to the president, looked up at her mother as if asking for something, but Madelia shook her head resolutely.
“There is nothing I can do. Even if they intervene, do you think it will help Lane? Rather, it will only earn a stigma.”
While Cassena was a little passive, Sherry Ludwig, who was watching the test while chewing her nails in the private first class room, jumped to her feet.
“This, this is wrong! It must be because people are jealous of their brother! My aunt intervened and protested something—”
“—Don’t make a fuss and sit down.”
But when Elin screamed, he looked at her with tears on his face. Elin let out a short sigh.
“Take a good look here, you pitiful nephew. The quality required of a wizard is not just being able to use magic quickly.”
Can you calmly respond and behave in any situation? One who acts recklessly whenever adversity strikes cannot become a first-rate wizard.
“Yes, Auntie is right.”
Brim pulled Se-Ri into his arms and stroked her hair as if to comfort her.
“What Seri needs to learn from Lane is not simply solving math equations well.”
“sure… … ?”
“It is better to see it than to explain it in words. Take a good look.”
Whether it was in the surroundings or not, Lane was not even discouraged at the scene. He blamed himself for failing and did not collapse.
“It seems that the preliminaries task was too difficult for a boy who grew up to be precious. Do you feel hopeless?”
Hubert, who was slightly more relaxed, offered a provocation like that, but Lane smiled and replied,
“Why is this?”
“You’re in a completely ruined situation right now, are you saying that?”
“In the first place, what fun is a math problem that can be solved in one go. It’s a bit more fun now.”
Hubert raised his eyebrows in amazement at the source of his confidence.
0 sheets… … are you laughing now?
40 minutes left now. No matter what eccentricity we do here, it would be impossible to beat the five of us who are the front runners.
“If you think of the preceding 50 minutes as a handicap given to promising juniors, it’s enough.”
“what?”
Before Hubert even had time to respond, a ring of light had already risen above Rain’s palm and was being closely woven together.
“First of all, make sure to attract attention.”
As the three layers of circles shattered with a clear reverberation, thick dark clouds covered the sunny sky.
As the dark clouds spewed down heavy rain, the judges started to panic, but soon calmed down.
“Uh, what is it?”
“What is it?”
Because the rain didn’t fall.
To be precise, the rainwater was not falling all over the world, but was pouring only in one area. Right where Lane Ludwig is located.
To be precise, inside the circular water tank that Lane had built in front of the stool, with a diameter of 7 meters.
‘It’s the concentration of rainwater, so it’s truly an incredible ability to control water-attribute magic… … .’
Professor Caroline looked at the incomprehensible sight and admired it wholeheartedly. But that was it.
’38 minutes left, 0 scrolls sold. The problem is that it’s not a score that can be overturned now.’
However, people’s interest was something that could not be helped, and a considerable number of judges were already heading for it.
“It’s really amazing. How does it only rain here?”
“Can you do this with a scroll?”
About thirty people gathered.
That should be enough.
This time, a square square shattered on Lane’s palm. Then, the land began to wriggle and move, and soon began to emerge like a work of art.
“wow… … ?”
“what’s this… … ?”
“map… … ?”
Among the people who were drawn to the flow of the crowd was Willem, who served the family of Prince Eijin.
“No, it’s not just a map. It’s like… … It seems to have scaled down one terrain.”
That’s the answer.
Forests, private houses, streams and rivers.
Crown Prince Raida Eijin opened his eyes as if he was dumbfounded.
“okay? But what does this mean? Does anyone want a toy like this with a scroll?”
Perhaps because of the emperor’s education, it was a sharp argument that was not suitable for a young age.
“you’re right. A scroll is an object for when you urgently need magic power in real life. With this model… … ?!”
Then a strange thing happened.
As heavy rain poured down repeatedly, the water in the round tank that received rainwater overflowed.
The water not only fiercely swallowed the model forest and private houses, but also rushed into the judges who were watching in a torrent.
From noble mtl dot com
“Ooh, ooh!”
“Blood, blood!”
The terrified judges backed away, and Courtier Willem glared at Lane in amazement.
“What the hell, why did you do this… … ?”
Did you just want to play a joke?
In the final exam, where you have to risk life and death as a cadet at the Magic University?
To that question, Lane answered with a smile.
“Of course, to show you this.”
The next moment when he couldn’t understand the meaning of that smile, a miracle unfolded on the boy’s palm.
The magic square is a three-fold rectangle.
The runes engraved are Gyeol (闋), Du (阧), and On (鞰).
Earth attribute magic
‘Gyeol (闋): Close the door’,
‘Du (阧): soaring’,
‘On (鞰): endowed with the trait of stacking’.
The land swelled like a wave on both sides of the torrent that flooded menacingly, the torrent that seemed to sweep the dragon blood field, and the next moment it rose like a cliff.
The heavenly wall that blocked all damage from the flood continued to ripple and stretch until it reached the drainage hole prepared in the corner of the dragon pit.
It was a scene where the disaster that destroyed everything in the area was suppressed in an instant like a lie. The boy finishes explaining to the judges who are now blankly stuttering.
“This is the ‘anti-flood magic’ I prepared. It was so powerful that I had no choice but to show it in miniature like this.”
