Artifact Suspicion (4)
[Icicle Shower]
The identity of the blue magic circle that spreads out on both sides of Harang is none other than the Icicle Shower, which shoots out tiny icicles.
If Rain Flower, which boasts the highest power among 3-star magic, and Icicle Shower, which is weak among 2-star magic, collide, the latter will naturally lose.
Everyone thought so, but there was one error in that idea.
Rain Flower is a magic that completely destroys the earth by firing a series of blunt crystals, and Icicle Shower is a magic that pierces the enemy with sharp fangs.
In other words, if you aim precisely at the center of a blunt weapon with sharp fangs… … It was possible to crush it accurately.
Tukwakwakwaang!!
“… … What, what?! Icicle Shower is shooting down Rain Flower!”
A barrage of blue crystals rained down from the sky, falling near Days and shattering the ground, but none of them reached him.
Days is controlling the Icicle Shower to accurately hit and shoot down all the Rain Flowers that are rushing towards him!
“Uh, how? Rainflower’s destructive power must be overwhelmingly strong… … .”
to be honest.
This sight even shocked Professor Kandelik.
‘… … Aiming each spell one by one? ‘In that brief moment?’
I could never have imagined that a wizard could pull off such a feat with a 2-star spell!
How do you see, aim, and shoot down all the rain flowers pouring down?
Does that make sense?
It’s not like you just shoot an arrow, and magic requires you to modify the formula one by one every time you change the aiming point.
In other words, Days is accurately catching and reacting to the Rain Flower rushing towards him and correcting the Icicle Shower’s orbital equation one by one… … .
‘… … genius? Did you say Days was a genius? ‘It’s a no-brainer.’
Professor Kandelik shook his head.
That kid is not a genius.
Genius is just a title given to wizards like Xelka Einglass.
Days… … More talent than that.
‘A genius among geniuses, a talented person.’
Kandelik was so sure.
“Ugh!”
In the magic battle, Zelka was the first to run out of magic as he was unable to hit Days with a single shot even though he used Rain Flower. He knelt down on one knee, sweating and clutching his heart. His heart was beating wildly because he had forcibly extracted mana.
Sigh… … .
When Days pointed his staff at himself, a blue magic circle headed towards him.
Zelka had no choice but to spread a shield in front. It was to prepare for the flying icicle shower.
Sigh! Days did not cast Icicle Shower but instead flicked his left finger.
Then a brown magic circle flashed.
Coo!
“Oops!”
A small rock fell from above Jelka’s head, crushing his body.
With that, the duel ended.
Days stored his staff in his belt, bowed to Jelka, and carefully took out the magic tools and watch he had put in his storage box and put them on.
Then he asks Professor Kandelik.
“Are my artifact suspicions over?”
Professor Kandelik’s eyes were wide open in surprise, and he had to make a belated declaration.
“… … okay. There was no suspicion from the beginning. “I hope you put it down to a small misunderstanding by a classmate.”
Days twisted his lips. If the person who raised the suspicion had not been Zelka Einglass, and if Days had been a noble, there would have been an uproar, claiming that it was defamation among nobles.
It was absurd to brush it off like that, but considering the situation itself, it was his victory, so he nodded as if it didn’t matter.
“Duel result, Days wins. “Both students, please come down from the sparring hall.”
As Days went outside the duel arena, the trainers belatedly rushed to Zelka and removed the rock.
He woke up with a humiliated look on his face. The teaching assistants rushed in to help him, but he nervously shook them off and walked to the nurse’s office on his own.
Looking at Days, who had already returned to his seat and opened a book, Kandelik swallowed his dry saliva.
‘That student… … ‘What on earth is it?’
This is a boy who I can’t understand at all.
* * *
Fortunately, I guess he had morals and didn’t have to spar twice in a row. Thanks to this, Harang was able to relax while watching the students’ clumsy magic sparring until the end of the lecture.
‘Most people, including Jelka, are poor at magic sparring.’
Zelka’s magic power and casting speed were amazing, but it was as ignorant as a child holding a knife and throwing it. It looks like she never learned how to duel properly.
Most students were like that. However, looking at the sparring level of the 9th grade students, it was acceptable.
Presumably, they begin learning magic sparring in earnest from the 8th grade.
Among the 8th graders, the only students whose sparring skills were worth considering were Princess Citrine, Aylka, and Ferta.
‘Perta Rendella… … ‘He used magic in a unique way.’
Unique? Should we actually use the opposite word?
He was so ordinary.
Harang was observing and recording all the students here.
Among them, Perta was the most unique. Most of the students had distinct personalities due to the magic system they learned from outside, but Perta was just the norm.
It feels like I hit a textbook.
Or, it felt like the textbook came to life and used magic.
‘I think that’s exactly what it would feel like if a machine that used magic was invented.’
However, we had no choice but to conclude that it was dangerous.
‘A machine, it’s not just a machine. It feels like a machine developed to kill people.’
It felt like he was casting magic after accurately calculating how to kill people efficiently, so much so that even Harang felt chills when observing his magic.
‘I roughly remembered the students’ level.’
After dinner, I will return to the dormitory and write down the memo I have drawn in my mind.
However, my plan to return to the dormitory was immediately ruined.
“Wait a minute, Days. “Look at me.”
Professor Kandelik spoke to him as he was about to leave.
“yes.”
“Can you come to the teacher’s office for a moment? “There is something I want to tell you.”
“… … .”
What is it? I was curious, but didn’t bother to ask.
“It is an honour.”
I simply obeyed like a gentle sheep.
* * *
Since it was called the teacher’s office, I thought I would go to the main building. However, Professor Kandelik took him with him to the conference hall.
‘It’s not a lab, what is it?’
The conference hall was spacious. This is because it was a place where hundreds of wizards gathered and discussed. There was only one person waiting for him in the conference hall, which was reminiscent of a huge stage.
A commoner-turned-professor and one of Arniel’s secret board of directors.
It was Professor Radiel.
“hi? Nice to meet you, Days. Seeing your face in person like this… … huh. It really looks as pretty as rumored. Do boys your age prefer compliments about being handsome?”
“Anything that comes with praise from the professor is fine.”
Harang smiled softly. She wants to show her affection for him.
‘I never thought I would meet Radiel.’
Professor Kandelik bowed to Radiel and then took a step back. He may have been the same professor, but it was evidence of a status gap within Arniel.
‘I know this person because I researched it in advance… … .’
No matter how much Kaladun’s intelligence power, he cannot know everything about Radiel. Additionally, all recorded information was not read.
I didn’t know much about him, but one thing was certain.
‘The point is that he is very deeply involved in the Estelle project.’
This situation was quite positive.
Including today’s practice, Harang showed remarkable talent and acted with blind loyalty to Ainglass.
Perhaps the result was like this.
“Hmm, aren’t you special? “He didn’t look particularly nervous when he saw me.”
“… … .”
When Harang heard those words, he thought it was a pity. It is normal for an ordinary 14-year-old to be nervous when meeting Radiel alone.
However, don’t panic.
“Actually, I was kind of expecting it. “I have long heard rumors that Professor Radiel takes care of hard-working commoner students.”
“Oh, was there a rumor like that?”
“yes. It is also widely known in Warspia’s entrance exam academy.”
“Hmm. It’s an entrance exam academy. But didn’t you come from an entrance exam academy?”
Radiel’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A question that may be quite sharp.
Days is not from an entrance exam academy.
That also meant that I had investigated his back.
Days’ identity was rootless in many ways. This is because it was a hastily created identity. The incident at the Harana Canal may have somehow become known through the Rondelle Cathedral, but it means that the story before that cannot be made up.
“you’re right. I probably didn’t write it down on my application, but I was working with a teacher in the East. He was someone who used some special magic… … .”
“oh! I’m also very interested in the wizards of the East. “Can you tell me your name?”
If you hide your name here, you will immediately arouse suspicion.
There must be quite a few named wizards in Radiel’s mind.
Giving the name of a wizard with even the slightest connection to Caladern could raise suspicion.
What should I do?
Until he came here, Harang honestly wasn’t very sure, but he felt he had no choice but to reveal one of the spells he learned from Natalen.
“My teacher’s name is… … “It’s ‘dayol.’”
Dayall.
That was the nickname that Harang used in his previous life when playing games with a secondary account.
“Mr. Dayol? Hmm, I see. “It’s a shameful story, but from my perspective, I don’t know this person.”
“Maybe so. actually… … You said that you are being chased even in the East. “I understand that you were greatly hated by the magical revolutionary group.”
“Revolutionary? By any chance, are you talking about ‘Race Resistance’?”
“you’re right.”
It is a real group.
The Race Resistance was an incredibly large group of revolutionaries, and was so influential that it caused an uproar throughout the East, so it would not be surprising if they were chased out from there.
“I heard you stole some arcane magic there… … Thanks to you, I was able to learn a few things.”
“really? This is the first time I’ve heard of you using arcane magic. “Commoners don’t have the opportunity to learn that.”
“It’s all thanks to Master’s grace.”
“Can you show me?”
“It’s an honor to be able to show it to Professor Radiel. I’m sure Master will be happy too.”
Harang put his hands together with an excited expression on his face. Of course, his true expression after that was nothing short of cold.
‘You keep trying to test me.’
I know why they do that. That’s why she had to act even harder.
A commoner wizard who was taken in by an unknown teacher in the East and learned even arcane magic, albeit a weak one.
‘It’s not a magic I learned from an imaginary teacher called Dayol… … .’
There is one magic that I learned from a real teacher. This is magic that doesn’t cause any problems even if it is revealed to the world.
[Memory Cube]
Buzz!! A red line was drawn in the air, and a transparent rectangular magic circle was completed.
Although it looks like a three-dimensional magic circle, it is not three-dimensional.
It was a fake cuboid made by combining four flat squares.
“This… … .”
“You can store four spells here and use them when you want.”
“This is really interesting… … .”
“Unlike regular Memorize, there is no reduction in power, so if given enough time, even a 3-star spell can instantly produce destructive power approaching a 5-star spell.”
“… … .”
Radiel stroked his chin and looked around at the memory cube. Then he pointed out the fatal problem with this magic.
“But this magic consumes a huge amount of mana? Moreover, even the same magic must be calculated using more complex formulas.”
That was a problem that not even Natalen could solve.
“yes. Even if you use the same magic, it consumes nearly twice as much mana.”
“Hmm… … “It seems really good for someone from a magical family with an exceptional amount of magic power, but for commoners like us, it will be difficult because we don’t have mana practice and can’t take elixirs.”
Magic that consumes enormous amounts of mana is the privilege of noble families. Commoners had to use magic as cost-effectively as efficiently as possible.
“Actually, I tried to solve the mana problem somehow… … Because my teacher passed away… … .”
“Oh, something like that.”
Radiel spoke as if he was sorry, but he couldn’t fool Harang’s eyes.
He seemed unimpressed.
The story of the death of an unknown wizard in the East would be the same as the story of the death of an ant to Arniel’s secret board.
“So, with the intention of perfecting my teacher’s magic to the end, I came to the Central Continent and enrolled in Arniel. He was worried because he lacked the basics and knew little while learning magic as a fugitive… … As expected, Arniel was just as wonderful a place as I imagined! If you have talent and effort, you will be accepted. “I will make your final dream come true here.”
Harang speaks with clenched fists. Looking at that, Radiel nodded his head.
‘Hmm, if that’s the case, it certainly explains why we couldn’t track down his whereabouts even in Arniel.’
How Days’ magic sparring skills overwhelmed Xelka Ainglass, how he single-handedly killed the warlock, and how he defeated Ogg the Maw.
This is because he gained practical combat experience while traveling around the battlefields of the East.
Days is skilled enough to hunt warlocks, but why does he lack the basics?
That’s because I only learned practical magic on the eastern battlefield, so I didn’t have time to leisurely learn the basics.
‘It’s a memory cube. Although it is incomplete, it contains the essence of enormous knowledge. The idea is an idea, but the techniques and spells contained within it… … No matter how genius I am, it’s not something a 14-year-old kid can make.’
Did you say Days’ teacher, Dayol? It’s a shame that he died, but he was able to withstand the Wraith Resistance and created magic like that, so he definitely has skills.
Moreover, with a story like that, it fully explains why he feels deep gratitude to Arniel for accepting him.
‘Now that you know this far… … .’
Radiel smiled softly.
“I’m really sorry about you, Master. I really want to meet you. That’s not an empty remark, your memory cube is really amazing and interesting. “If we weren’t between professor and student, I would want to ask them to open a lab together.”
“Really? My teacher’s magic was praised by Arniel’s professor… “It feels like a dream.”
“You’re not going to be satisfied with that, are you? Days, you have potential.”
“Possibility… … is it?”
“Yeah, possibility. You said you wanted to fulfill your master’s dream and repay Arniel’s favor, right? There is a very good way. It will probably take a lot of effort, but you can do it. “Do you want to listen?”
“… … “It’s an honor, Professor.”
Harang smiled.
‘Things are going better than I thought.’
