In the early evening when grass bugs cry.
After giving up looking for Valencidis in the student council room, Lane moved to the dorm and touched her chin.
‘Magic volleyball, magic volleyball… … .’
Although I did it with great vigor, I know better than anyone what baseless confidence is.
Magic volleyball was the exclusive property of the so-called upper class, so it was a sport that I couldn’t learn when I was young. After becoming a lane?
‘I’m just bored… … .’
At any rate, it was the time when I was about to turn to the central library because I thought it would be a good idea to familiarize myself with the rules.
“Oh, isn’t it Gongja-nim?”
In the twilight thick with shadows, the strong muscle texture stands out even more.
Chaihaq’s Logan.
Perhaps she had just washed her face at the tap, and she was brushing her wet hair with a towel.
“Have you ever exercised alone? Even at this hour, you are sweating profusely.”
“Isn’t it because of club activities? It’s magic volleyball.”
“Aha, magic volleyball… … .”
“Then I will go. We are competing.”
The 4 major magic volleyball clubs are very busy with training right now to cover the peak of each seasonal festival… … Logan added, turning around.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my brain.
Rain, who emits light not only from the brain but also from the pupils, grabbed Logan’s shoulders.
“Challenge the 3rd graders of Griffin Valor… … ?”
Moments later, Logan opened his eyes wide as Lane explained everything. Griffin Valor is the name of the aristocratic magic volleyball club.
“But aren’t the ten generations of nobles all subordinate to Confucius? Even if you spoke well… … .”
“They weren’t the ones to listen to. In school, it is also a senior-junior relationship. So can you teach me magic volleyball?”
“Hmm, I’ll have to ask the professor about that, but… … How many team members have you gathered now?”
Team members? what team member?
When Lane tilted his head with an innocent look, a look of astonishment lingered in Logan’s eyes.
“I’m sorry, Confucius, but have you ever seen magic volleyball?”
“huh.”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
“It’s easier to see this, hmm… … Where is the gym that Griffin Valor uses, no, I declared war there, but can I go there… … .”
“What is it~ Then we can see it at Lionheart.”
It was a familiar figure who burst in with a singing voice.
“No, Nora!”
Logan flinched in surprise, while Lane waved happily.
“Oh, Nora. What is it?”
“Why is the professor so angry that our Logan didn’t come back?♬ He sent the torch to come back, so he came ♪”
As soon as he heard that, Logan’s face went pale and he started running towards the gym as if possessed by something.
“Our Lionheart?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? I am also a member of the magic volleyball club.”
And while singing a hum song, he wondered if he was chasing after Logan, and then looked back as if to follow him.
Hmm, this guy is also a magic volleyball player.
All the guys who really wanted to use some magic seemed to be learning magic volleyball. As Gertrude said, is it a necessary education… … .
“Come on, here you go.”
The gym Ryanhart used was the second annex on the southwest side of the university grounds. A welcome voice was heard through the crack in the door.
“Have you seen such a pathetic bastard! Even if you catch a stray cat passing by and give it a cat punch, it will be a million times stronger than your poor spike! One hundred more spike practice!”
“sorry!”
“Damn it, I couldn’t even catch such a simple ball, so how can I catch it every time your wife runs away from home! Two hundred more receiving practice!”
There were a total of four volleyball courts inside the gym, and about ten cadets on each court were training while waiting for their turn.
oh… … .
I heard that only disciples of the Eight Great Schools can join Lionheart, but the number was more than I thought.
“This year has been f*cking messed up. Logan, looking at your saggy ass, all I can say is f*ck it!”
“sorry!”
“It would be easier to teach cubic equations to my food-consuming cat than it is to train you, who churn through training, into a usable volleyball player! Five hundred serve practice!”
At these words, Lane, who was watching the training through the crack in the door, burst into laughter.
A man named Owen was the same everywhere he went. He is a strong-willed person who always finds the corner to hate others and sharpens them.
Then Owen turned around, narrowed his eyes for a moment, and then approached with a condescending attitude.
“ha ha ha! What kind of sickness is this! To meet all the idiot Confucius who is so busy with noble student council affairs that his face doesn’t even show up during poor Owen’s assemblies!”
“Hello, Professor!”
The atmosphere itself was like that, so Rain responded in a loud voice like Tsaihak’s school.
Then, the sound of breathing, sweat, and footsteps that were buzzing around the gym stopped one by one. He glanced this way as if on alert and began to whisper something.
When Owen looked back and cracked his teeth menacingly, he immediately went back to training… … .
“Hello, what a dog sh*t! I’m running out of time as I have to grind the thirty-seven idiots here with all my heart in a limited amount of time! What happened?”
“I came to learn a little about magic volleyball.”
“Magic volleyball? It’s hard to believe that you’re interested in ball games like this. Aren’t you a member of the student council?”
“Oh, is that it? I quit. I decided to destroy Griffin Valor.”
In an instant, the ferocious monster’s smile disappeared from Owen’s face.
At the same time, the sound of movement suddenly stopped from the Lion Heart cadets, who were looking sideways at this place while pretending to be training, and silence fell.
Only Nora was laughing like she was going crazy with joy… … .
“What did you just say, Lane Ludwig? You said you quit the student council?”
In total disbelief, Owen circled around Lane, tearing his face up and down.
“And you, the head of the sh*thead nobles, decided to destroy Griffinvalor?”
Watching him growl made me laugh rather than be afraid.
Be patient, you must be patient.
How long did he endure such an eternity of patience? Suddenly, Owen burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! Imagining that your face will be wet with tears as Griffinvalor shatters it mercilessly, your muscles will be so excited you won’t be able to sleep for a while!”
“It’s an honor!”
“Lane Ludwig, you intrigued me! Alright, I’ll teach you the basics of magic volleyball!”
Oh, oh oh!
Also the Tchaikhak school.
Because people are simple and the turn of emotions is one-way, there is nothing to do to persuade them with difficulty.
“Nora, stop messing around with a top that is worse than that monkey and bring me a ball.”
“Yeah~♬”
What Nora brought was a metal sphere the size of a man’s fist. It must have been a magic tool rather than a simple metal, though faint magical energy was detected.
“Are you playing ball with this? I don’t know if it hurts or not.”
After receiving the ball from Nora, Owen raised his eyebrows as if the question was not the same.
“Did you see this unfortunate guy? You really don’t know anything about magic volleyball!”
Immediately, the sphere resonated with the magic blown in by Booung and Owen and rose into the air, developing a blue force field into a circular shape.
It was the moment when a magic ball with a diameter of about 21 cm was born.
As Lane opened his mouth in admiration, Owen deftly twirled the ball on his index finger.
“Magic volleyball is a ball game that trains the mind and body. Do you know what this means?”
“I don’t know… … It sounds like you have to use both your mind and body.”
Owen’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
If this guy really didn’t know about magic volleyball, his understanding is far beyond that of ordinary geniuses.
“It would be quicker to experience it for yourself.”
Owen threw the ball out of nowhere.
It was a really easy ball to catch, with a smooth little parabola. But what could this be, I couldn’t figure it out.
“what?”
I quickly reviewed the situation.
The moment my hand touched it, I wondered if a strange math formula had passed through my mind.
Then, isn’t the magic force field that made up the ball’s surface ricocheting, emitting current and bouncing out of your grip?
“Now why do you think my cat couldn’t catch a light catch? Are you immature? Are you stupid? That’s right too.”
“… … .”
“But there is something else that is important. Do you even remember with that sh*t-filled brain that the math equation popped into your head before you caught the ball?”
“yes.”
“Because I didn’t calculate that! This is because in magic volleyball, you can catch the ball only when you catch the ball with your body and at the same time solve the mathematical formula ordered by your opponent with your head!”
“!!!”
Nora, who was practicing toss with an overhand beside her, helped explain with a smile.
“It’s convenient if you think of the multiplication tables you used to play when you were young. It’s just that volleyball was mixed in, and the way the offense and defense are switched is the same.”
It’s a multiplication game… … ?
Aha, is that what your mother used to do when you were a child to study tax collectors?
– Seri, what about 9×9?
– 81! What about 6×7?
– 42. So, what is 1×1?
– 1×1? Don’t make fun of the publican! Do it right, mom!

In this way.
Aha, it definitely makes sense at once. Lane hit the palm with a hand hammer.
“When you throw the ball, you order a math formula, and when the opponent receives the ball, you solve the math formula, and then you order the math formula and return it.”
“Yes~ Just add the exchange of balls in the Gugudan workshop and you’ll understand♬”
Nora smiled and lightly tossed the ball she was bouncing to Lane.
Same here… … .
The moment I tried to catch the ball, a very short grace period was given and a math formula came to my mind.
If the quotient of the polynomial f(x) divided by x+2 is 3, what is the remainder when f(x) divided by x²-2?
The moment I lightly calculated the problem, unlike before, the ball wrapped around my hand comfortably.
My body trembled slightly with a strange sense of exhilaration.
That’s why Madose and the Eight Great Schools put so much emphasis on magic volleyball. It looks like a simple game, but it requires all the qualities of a battle mage.
1. Can you use magic while moving your body in a tense situation?
2. Is instantaneous calculation possible?
3. Can you freely use your own magic after receiving the opponent’s magic?
There was such a fun thing! If I had known it would be this much fun, I would have done it earlier.
“This is the basic principle of magic volleyball. Then let me show you a simple match. A group of twelve.”
Before Owen’s voice echoed through the gym, six cadets lined up on either side of the court.
There were also quite a few familiar figures, including Hubert and Melanie, who were from the Rohfinum School and were of the same class as Rain, and Ilyin of Tchaik.
All three of them did not look so favorably toward Lane.
“Magic volleyball is a ball game in which six monkeys team up. There are six of them.”
aha. That’s why Logan asked how many team members he gathered earlier.
When Owen threw the ball to Logan and Ilyin’s team, the match immediately began with Ilyin serving.
“Then, from now on, I will explain about magic volleyball considering your unfortunate intelligence. I’ll explain it only once, so listen up.”
