“Hey, this… … .”
The professors who looked into Lane’s magic square exchanged laughs aroused with admiration.
“This is also beautiful.”
“I never thought I could complete 5-star magic in such a short amount of time!”
“This alone is great.”
5-star magic is known as the most beautiful magic square among wizards. The primary reason is that it can be equipped with a pentagram, which is the most perfect form of a star.
“If the magic square of the preceding two cadets looked like an attempt to mix art and magic… … .”
It is because the runes and mathematical formulas that fill the paper and spread out in an orderly manner in all directions are seen as art in the eyes of magicians.
“The magic square of Cadet Lane is only magic! You can see the confidence to fight with only magic essence!”
When assistant professor Kyle poured out such praise with a sincere smile, the atmosphere in the crowd, which had already leaned towards Christa, changed completely.
“Professor Cha-Seok praises you so much?”
“Yeah! You have completed the 5-star magic!”
The late exponents of the Eight Great Schools, Logan, Lillian, and Nora, muttered this while unable to take their eyes off their eyes.
“If there is not a single mistake in the arithmetic of Confucius’ 5-star magic… … .”
“If you do well, you might win… … .”
“Against Warden and Harimun… … ★”
The volume of magic that 5-star magic shows is truly explosive, and it’s not something that can be caught up with 3-star magic or 4-star magic with double runes.
“Yes, that’s it!”
In the VIP room, Elin Ludwig clenched his fists and nodded vigorously. Seri’s face brightened.
“Did my older brother do well?”
“of course! No matter how Rain is, it can’t fill the gap in artistic sense in that short amount of time.”
So, you just have to push ahead with something strong from the start. What do you say? Of course, it’s an overwhelming ability that even peers can’t match.
“Why are you talking so much after only seeing the magic square, Inum-ah! Especially when it comes to high-level magic like this.”
High-ranking magic is delicate and sensitive.
Assume that all five cogs turn simultaneously. Wouldn’t it be a problem if only one of them was defective?
“Then, let’s see how far that confidence goes!”
The moment Marhena injected magic into the magic square, a golden ripple suddenly rose in her field of vision.
what… … ?
When I felt something strange and closed my eyes once, the dragon’s blood had disappeared and a new world was unfolding, filling my field of vision.
As if the previous ripple had opened the door to a new world.
“Here… … .”
“flower garden… … ?”
Summer bugs dyed the hills yellow and sang among the wildflowers in full bloom.
Far away, on the horizon at the end of the view, the sun was setting below the mountain peaks, making this golden world even more thrilling, distant, and at the same time frightening.
A summer-heated wind blew, caressing the flower fields, and the petals fluttered and brushed the faces of the professors.
‘Many things are blurry and insufficient.’
Like an inexperienced landscape painting drawn by a child, it was far from the real Mother Nature. Even so, no, that’s why this magic… … .
“By the way, what is this smell?”
it smells somewhere
Savory yet spicy… … Is it the smell of tobacco? The strange experience did not end there.
I had to feel the warmth of someone caressing my hair as the wind gently settled on my head.
Those are the memories, sensations, and longings that remain in Lane’s heart… … Friede’s cigarette smoke and Keith’s hand stroking the boy’s hair.
“… … !”
It sadly touched the terminals of memories that the professors, who had already become adults and elderly people, cherished in their hearts.
Everyone has been to a flower garden like this before. With loved ones like parents and siblings.
And the memories of laughing and chatting with them about the things they did to you… … .
‘This is not just a materialization of the landscape that remains in the mind… … .’
Marhena had to blink in a daze in this ridiculous experience.
‘Somehow, I can feel the emotions Jeonum felt at this time, and the emotions I feel when I think of that day… … .’
everything is felt
The excitement I felt while looking at the dazzling scenery, the distant feeling I felt while smelling the scent of summer, and the sense of loss that I could never go back to this place… … .
‘I’d still be sixteen at most, so what on earth can I do to feel these feelings in one place?’
But as if the fantasy ends here.
As if the daydream was over.
The next moment, the sound of the world pours in from the world to a place that is not of this world, and the flower garden where the twilight deflects begins to distort.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
As if they were watching a play, the young professors were immersed in the lingering sound and exchanged blank laughs.
“To be able to embody the beauty of Mother Nature in summer so vividly… … .”
The old professors, who recalled the thrilling yet heartbreaking memories of their childhood, who could not go back, quickly stole their eyes.
“Cadet Lane, what kind of magic did you use? Was it a hallucinatory magician?”
“No, I’m not good at hallucinations.”
“It was a perfect hallucination.”
“It is not a hallucination. The rune that became the key to my magic is Se.”
Say three… … ?
The professors had to shut up for a moment in embarrassment.
“If it is the rune of three, surely it is a rune used only by wise men who have risen to the rank of six stars?”
“It is famous as a rune used for image barriers.”
“It couldn’t have been easier to use… … .”
Then Lane shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.
“It wasn’t too difficult using my formula.”
eix=cosx+isinx.
This formula is a formula that can express the relationship between the exponential function and the trigonometric function very simply.
“If you put π in place of the variable x, the seemingly complicated formula becomes simply expressed as a constant. To put it more simply, eπi+1=0.”
“… … ?!”
“If you keep this formula in mind, it is not difficult at all because you can use constants when expressing the relationship between irrational and imaginary numbers and the pi required to unfold the image.”
The audience had to doubt their eyes.
What is the identity of that boy, is he teaching mathematics to the professors of ＜Delaiten＞, a magic university composed of the best scholars in the empire?
And aren’t the professors nodding their heads as if they realized something at that potentially rude remark?
“A complex number in place of an exponential function… … ?”
“Since exponents can only be defined in the range of real numbers, it was impossible to construct an image domain… … ?”
“If a method to create a function with a complex number as an exponent is developed like this… … ?”
The boy did not hide his knowledge.
It was neither shown nor hidden.
The dean who had taken you in as a child generously shared your knowledge, so you thought it was the right thing to do.
“How could there be such a beautiful formula in the world?”
This reaction poured out not only from the professors, but also from the elders of the 8 vs. 16 who were watching the senior match.
“You learned that formula yourself?”
“Is that really sixteen years old?”
“Why was he called Confucius Genius?”
Cassena Paige, whose shoulders danced for nothing at the wave of praise, looked up at Madelia and asked why, and a trembling voice returned.
“It just… … It is a formula that can be called the great discovery of the century. That’s more than enough to advance modern mathematics many times over.”
Kavan Ludwig, you bastard… … .
How the hell did you teach your son? What did you do to be so clever?
“Now, it’s obviously a remarkable math formula, but shouldn’t we focus on the evaluation now?”
It was assistant professor Kyle who set the mood in the hall, which had been leaking in a strange direction. Kyle looked at the magic square and admired it.
The imagery world was built with the runes of ‘Three’, and the runes of Ming (明; brightening) were engraved on the magic square of fire attribute to express the twilight… … .’
And when I asked what the identity of the smell was, it turned out that the rune of Hun (burning incense) was inscribed into the earth attribute magic.
Did you choose your sense of smell to oppose audiovisual?
The sense of smell is a great sense to elicit emotions. If that’s what you’re aiming for, you can say that this is also a very remarkable option.
“If there was one thing I missed, it was the duration of the magic. Just as I was about to feel something, it disappeared. What is the reason?”
Then, Lane also smacked her lips as if a little embarrassed.
“Actually, I made those flowers with the magic I learned from the local development magic club.”
Aha, Logan’s eyes lit up when he realized the flower’s secret. Was it the magic that was used at the end of the match, which briefly revived the dead plant?
“I can’t do anything to increase the duration of that magic. To conclude, it is because of my inadequacies.”
Professor Owen felt his muscles twitch.
‘Christa, I thought only that poop monkey could absorb everything around her… … .’
Was it the same with this guy?
No, it was a monster worse than that.
How much more powerful are you thinking of becoming a monster, absorbing everything around you instead of being satisfied with your own talents?
“You are humble. Then, one last thing, what was the purpose of this magic? To fill the gap with magic skills?”
“I think those two are also excellent in magic skills… … I chose this because I have no aesthetic sense.”
I can’t even do music.
I can’t even do art.
If there’s something that those guys don’t have, it’s the experience of seeing beautiful places.
“So I just wanted to show it live. A sight I saw and felt really beautiful.”
Of course it didn’t go well.
The flower garden I saw with everyone at that time was more beautiful than this, and it shone more brilliantly than this.
Lane Ludwig smiled shyly and scratched his cheek.
“But it didn’t come out as well as I thought, probably because I still lack a lot.”
But even after seeing this, is there anyone who feels that Rain is lacking?
All the cadets who were here now were convinced of what they vaguely felt.
Lane knows that the level itself is different… … Only one was different.
‘Lane Ludwig, you’re… … .’
It was Christa Warden.
What shimmered in her eyes as she looked at Lane’s back was a fighting spirit that would not give in despite the difference in status.
‘I’m so glad I met a rival like you. I can grow several times more after seeing you.’
Looking at the disciple’s eyes, Caroline smiled. In my heart, I was simmering my liver to the point that my lips shrank… … .
‘I thought Christa would definitely take the top spot in such an advantageous subject.’
The level of his adversary, Lane Ludwig, is too high. There was something about that boy that couldn’t be explained with the word genius.
“Obviously, it was a great magic, and although a tremendous formula was applied, it was a test of beauty.”
In the judges’ seat, Professor Theon, who had been immersed in deep thought, finally opened his mouth quietly.
“What I paid attention to was the details of the art. Cadet Caden and Cadet Warden were beautiful just by looking at them.”
“I agree.”
“But in the case of Cadet Ludwig, there were quite a few shortcomings. in the detail part. It should be blurry, like a child scribbling.”
Then Professor Kyle smiled as if he had spoken well.
“It’s a child’s scribble, that’s right. I felt that way too.”
Kyle, that guy… … .
It was the time when Elin Ludwig was grinding her teeth.
“Although the direction of the evaluation is a bit different.”
From noble mtl dot com
“… … ?”
“How do you feel when you see a child expressing his image on paper clumsily but with sincerity? Wow, I really couldn’t draw, do you start thinking like this?”
“Of course not.”
“Yes. But the older I get, the less I draw those pictures. Because I am afraid of failure.”
First of all, it is because those who have become adults teach those who have not yet become adults.
Only walk the path to success.
Don’t even touch anything that seems likely to fail, people’s time is finite… … That’s how human thinking, the sense of challenge is gradually atrophied.
“But in this magic, I could see it. The innocent spirit of inquiry like that of a child. And the challenging spirit to carve out a new path in a place where failure is not tolerated in the final exam. Finally, the ability to perfectly support them.”
The other professor shook his head slightly and expressed his disapproval of Kyle’s opinion.
“But isn’t that the same for cadet Cayden and cadet Warden?”
“The two cadets were obviously outstanding too. But wouldn’t it be possible for other geniuses of the Harimun school or the Warden family to do it someday?”
“… … !”
“During the progress of magic, countless forms of magic have been born. One of them is the kinship limit of the Warden family or the Chilhyeongeum of the Harimun school. But were they all that perfect from the start?”
“that… … no.”
“What Cadet Lane created is just the beginning. It’s natural to be immature and clumsy.”
But one day, at some point in the future, there may be a new school of magic with such magic as its main focus.
“I don’t have much to say about personal favourites, but I really like Cadet Lane Ludwig. As I said during the midterm exam, you can glimpse the future of magic in this cadet’s magic.”
Kyle smiled at Lane once, then picked up a brush and wrote his precious score on the rice paper.
[10]
Then, Marhena, who was watching the juniors’ discussion with her arms crossed, ahahahaha… … He laughed out loud and took up his brush.
“You are right, Inum. Then, pushing the back of a wonderful child must be one of the things an old man has to do.”
And the moment after Marhena put down the brush, silence flows as if the world had frozen… … Then, cheers poured in like an explosion.
“crazy! The assistant professor and the head professor gave 10 points for the first time?!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen him give 10 points!”
“Could Lane Ludwig really win?! Beat those Harimun and Warden?”
Brim approached Ellin, who anxiously watched the other professors scrawl their brushes on the rice paper, and held her hand tightly.
Each other’s hands were shaking.
With joy that made my body tremble and impatience that came from tension… … .
“All screenings are over.”
Finally, all the professors lifted their hwaseonji.
In the midst of silence filled with only the heartbeat, the teaching assistant who tallied up all the professors’ scores on the movable whiteboard opened his trembling lips.
“With this, the top cadets for the first semester final exam of ＜Deleiten＞ class 1388 have been decided. The cadet whose name is being called forward.”
