Episode 12
“It seems like the Warden princess can’t help it when the genius princess catches her ankle.”
Melanie laughed happily.
He was an excellent magic student from the Lauwynam school along with Hubert. The man and woman were making their way to the pulpit to be examined.
“You mean you haven’t solved this easy problem yet? No, it might be a bit difficult to figure it all out on your own.”
The time it took the men and women of the Rohwinam school to solve this problem was 13 minutes. Without a doubt, he was at the top of his class.
‘Have you given up?’
Before submitting the answer sheet to Professor Owen, Hubert glanced back at the Madosega Combi.
It was noticeably different from before.
Christa seemed to be assisting, and Lane was diligently writing something on rice paper.
‘That’s right, the genius Confucius… … .’
Seeing that he couldn’t submit the answer sheet on time, was he thinking of teaching the genius Confucius how to solve this problem?
‘Hmph, it’s over.’
Hubert smiled with satisfaction and submitted the answer sheet to Professor Owen.
Owen quickly glanced at the answer sheet, then placed his hand on the drawing paper and let his magic flow.
Then, the ring of the magic square drawn on the drawing paper was filled with light, and at the moment the light reached its peak, it created a hazy vapor inside the classroom and then suddenly disappeared.
“The runes of Jeung (蒸) and Seo (逝) are working reliably. “This is a good amount of work done in a short period of time.”
The drawing paper on which the magic square was intricately drawn was now a blank piece of paper. This is because as magic was activated, the magic square transitioned from the real world to the supernatural world.
“Haha, thank you~!”
“Stop shrugging your shoulders, you monkeys of the Eight Great Sects. You are the eight major sects. Plus, the Rohwinam school that deals with the wind! I should have solved this in 2 minutes. That’s why it’s a C grade.”
A C grade? Melanie paused for a moment, unable to understand the situation. Hubert narrowed his eyebrows at her.
“Why C? “He was the fastest in the class, and his math formulas must have been perfect.”
“You probably know the hidden answer best, monkey friend.”
no way… … Did you catch that?
No, you trained them so well that even the school’s executioners didn’t notice them? Hubert could not answer because he felt like something was stabbing him.
“I don’t know? “Why?”
Just as Melanie was about to start protesting, she suddenly felt someone coming from behind.
“Once the evaluation is over, let’s get out of the way, right?”
Hubert’s eyes wavered. The attention of other students was focused on the podium. Professor Owen raised his eyebrows in interest.
It was Lane and Christa.
In Lane’s hand, a piece of drawing paper was fluttering in the spring breeze. The strong smell of the ink that made up the Pilsan Magic Square wafted out.
“Now, please evaluate ours as well, Professor.”
* * *
Building the Pilsan magic square was a race against time.
No matter how talented you are at magic, unless you have the talent to ‘write numbers quickly’, it will inevitably take you a similar amount of time as others.
Therefore, in contrast to mental arithmetic, it was famous for its method of using magic, which narrowed the gap between the talents of a genius and an ordinary person.
For that reason, most of the magicians in the empire were Filsan magicians.
Of course, the limitations were as clear as the advantages. This is because their ability to create and deal with variables was overwhelmingly inferior to that of mental arithmetic wizards.
Therefore, in order to reach the level of an archmage or a wise man, one had to become a mental arithmetic wizard.
Excluding the unique magic that each individual manifests on their own, the common magic created by adults can be selected according to the situation.
Miranjo’s Great Blue Spirit Gann, Orbos’ Heavenly Flame Strike, Lin’s Brain Blood Blow, etc… … .
Pilsan wizards were called Remidier type wizards because they would collect pre-drawn magic squares like a book and take them out according to the situation.
It means those who read.
The reason I say this is to explain that most Remidier-type magicians spend a similar amount of time building a magic square.
“Did you really finish it? How unpleasant! “You Madose was grinning at the thought of notifying the children of their expulsion!”
“If you can’t use magic just because of the wind, you can’t even call yourself a wizard.”
“Huh, I like your spirit. “It’s no more than my mother’s booger.”
Professor Owen took the drawing paper submitted by Lane, and Hubert, who stood aside and watched, couldn’t believe his eyes.
‘You completed the magic square?’
Nonsense. How many minutes do you think have passed? 2 minutes? You completed that in 3 minutes?
“Hmm?”
As Professor Owen was looking at the answer sheet, his eyes suddenly wavered.
“The magic square… … “It’s different from what I suggested.”
The magic square presented 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 was drawn in a circle.”
It was a magic square in the shape of a large circle embracing a fan shape. The circular magic square grants water properties to magic.
In short, this is a dual-property magic square 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 took advantage of the fact that by using water attribute magic as the basis, the mathematical formula for constructing this rune becomes quite simple.”
“That’s right, in that case, you can find the answer required by the rune of Jeung (蒸) with just the linear equation.”
Then Christa looked at Lane with an expression that she couldn’t understand.
“What, that kind of thing doesn’t even come up in middle school classes. “Where did you learn that?”
“That’s what’s strange about middle school classes. “You can’t say you can use magic perfectly until you learn the runes accurately.”
“!!!”
Did they shorten the time to the shortest possible time based on their overwhelming understanding of runes? … Hmph, Owen put his hand on the drawing paper as if he was having fun.
“But you will have to see for yourself to know whether this is skill or eccentricity.”
“Let’s check.”
“You’re so confident that I want to beat you up! “As it becomes a dual-attribute magic square, the difficulty of the formula that must be used for standing must have increased, right?”

Although the mathematical formula required by the rune of Jeung (蒸) may have been simplified, the overall difficulty level would have increased several times. When using magic, if there is even one mistake in the math calculations, the magic will not work properly.
“Magic injection.”
The magic power that flowed 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 powerfully stretched out in ink, and the next moment, a dazzling explosion added unreality to reality.
Jeung (蒸).
Droplets of water rose in the wind dancing in the air.
Next moment, stop.
The steam spread out in all directions like white wings and suddenly disappeared.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
A magical feast with artistic sensibility, something different from the textbook explanation presented by the Rohwinam school duo.
‘Nonsense. This, this is a coincidence… … .’
Hubert could not possibly understand the vision that had formed on his retina in this brief moment. No, he didn’t want to understand.
‘There is no way such magic could be possible in this short period of time…’ … .’
At that time, the students were doubting their eyes for another reason.
The gorilla sitting arrogantly on the podium, no, Professor Owen… … Aren’t they smiling and clapping with satisfaction?
“I’ve been teaching for 13 years, and I’ve met many geniuses, but you guys are the first to come up with such a novel answer to this problem.”
A gorilla who has never praised even the priests of his own school gave that level of praise to Ludwig… … ?
No, no.
Krista would have done it all. The genius Confucius probably did nothing. The students thought so.
“I’m really jealous, but I’ll give it an S grade. “This is the highest grade I have ever given on a paper test like this.”
Then, Christa’s eyes, which had had a deep look of despair on her face, changed color. I couldn’t believe what was going on right now, so much so that I looked at Owen and Lane in turn.
“That’s too much praise.”
Christa, who couldn’t believe her ears for a moment when she heard Lane’s answer, then clasped both hands with exhilarating excitement and shouted.
“thank you!”
At that time, Hubert, who was watching the situation in bewilderment, had to keep his mouth shut as a chill ran down his spine.
It was because of the gaze.
Lane was staring straight at him. As if I knew everything you did. What was contained in that gaze was a clear threat.
I’ll just skip it this time, but there’s no next time.
* * *
The rumor that Gorilla Owen had given S grades from the first class quickly spread throughout the school.
The rumor also spread to the four later exponents of the Eight Schools, excluding Hubert, and each reacted with a laughable reaction.
“Hubert That idiot got a C? “Hot, I knew that would happen.”
“It’s not that surprising. “Christa probably did it all by herself anyway.”
“Ah, that’s a shame. If only I were in the same class as Hubert… … “Neither of us would be able to even carry our faces by now♪”
Of course, since Christa is the genius of the century, it was not surprising that all of the credit went to her.
The only people who know the truth are Professor Owen and Christa. No, Christa is the only one who knows the real truth… … .
Owen thinks that Christa and Lane worked together to achieve this result, but in reality, Lane achieved the miracle alone.
‘I need to say thank you.’
I had to, but I couldn’t open my mouth throughout class. It was only when all the classes on the first day were finished that I finally gathered up the courage.
“Hey, Lane Ludwig.”
However, as soon as my eyes met the boy, my face turned red and I felt speechless.
Christa, who had always protected the chief cadet, could not help but feel ashamed that she had received complete help from her rival. But I’m also thankful… … .
Christa had too little experience dating the opposite sex to sum up her complicated feelings and express her gratitude. No, she had none at all.
– It is not strong to simply push down with force, but to be truly strong is to know how to push your back with that force.
To the guy who gave me that kind of advice like he was being arrogant… … Even though it can’t erase the debt, I can’t believe I got some help.
“Just wait and see. The bridge of your nose that stands tall without knowing how scary the sky is, could turn into a jilly… … “I will bring it to you.”
Therefore, he quickly left the classroom, muttering words in a hushed voice that were completely incomprehensible to the listener.
“That damn branch… … .”
The boy, left alone, stroked his chin for a moment and fell into deep thought.
‘That guy really likes Jjijito.’
Whether it was my past life or my current life, it was impossible to mathematically infer why all the strange things around me were attracted to me like flies.
‘It started with Lista, but is this really Listar’s curse? Even the names are similar.’
