Episode 11
“I guess the irony of history never changes.”
The president’s office, where Madelia Page, the president of Deleiten, stayed, was a place where dazzling sunlight poured in through arched windows on eight sides.
“I don’t know why, but talent is always concentrated in one side at a time.”
The document she put down helplessly on the desk was the new students’ personal information document.
“Hubert of the Lauwynm School, Lillian of the Rivendell School, Kayden of the Harimun School, Nora of the Melev School, and Logan of the Tchaihak School… … .”
Surprisingly, all five people called by President Madelia emotionlessly were wizard cadets who were considered late exponents of the eight major factions that dominate the empire.
“Five second-year students enrolling at the same time. This might be the first time something like this has happened.”
The timing of accepting and producing disciples varies from school to school. But does it often happen that the ages of the master disciples match so perfectly?
“Prince Warden sent me an outstanding child, but I might not be able to do it alone.”
The conflict between the Madose family and the eight major factions was so deep that it was frightening.
After becoming an adult, it was not as overtly expressed as it was as a student, but tightrope factional fights in the magic alliance were still rampant.
It was like that last time when we selected the magic star of the Yellow River Ministry, the magician directly under the emperor.
“It is not a pleasant situation for the academic affairs department to intervene in students’ fights, but we cannot deny that it is a special situation.”
In front of Madelia’s desk, there was a female mage with a gentle expression and half-closed eyes.
It was Caroline.
He was Madelia’s student when he was young, and is now Christa Warden’s teacher.
“Pass it to the professors and lecturers. It’s Dmain-2. Observe carefully and subtly intervene when necessary. Don’t let a goal be scored for no reason.”
Normally, she would have nodded right away, but Caroline seemed a little hesitant.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I think it’s still a little premature to make that kind of judgment.”
“hmm?”
“I don’t think Christa is the only genius in this race, Madose.”
Those were strange words. That’s why Madelia tilted her head.
The Madose family is a family, unlike the Eight Great Schools. Only immediate members can carry the name Madosega.
This was a symbol of honor but also a shackle, as it meant that the Madose family had limited human resources.
“Did someone I don’t know come to our school this time?”
“no.”
“I believe only two people came, Christa Warden and Raine Ludwig.”
“yes.”
“Then Raine Ludwig…” … “Are you trying to tell me that this kid you passed on the supplementary exam is a genius?”
“Even if I told you in person, you wouldn’t believe me. You must have met him at the Sega conference. “I was like that too until I saw it in person.”
“Your spinning personality doesn’t change, Cat. “You know I hate that.”
As Madelia sighed, Caroline seemed a little hesitant and then opened her mouth.
“I have limited insight, but… … Well, I don’t think I need much help. “I’m looking forward to seeing how these two will act in this situation.”
Ho… … Madelia looked at Caroline’s expression for a moment and then checked her academic records. And she raised her eyebrows slightly.
“There’s no need to wait long for the results. “Because my homeroom teacher is Owen.”
It was Owen, and Caroline nodded in agreement. Isn’t he a notorious professor who expelled 21 students last year alone?
“Yes, if I think it is worthless, I will expel you as soon as possible.”
* * *
After the opening ceremony, Lane received a class placement handout and moved to Yongmyeonggwan, the first-year undergraduate building.
The pure white structure was in the shape of a dragon lying face down on the ground and sleeping, and the worship of the dragon race, which was an absolute life form, was the same as that of the witches and wizards of the Republic who dealt with witchcraft.
Because Karenden, the Black Sun who created magic, was also the creator of the dragon race.
[Cheonggang]
After walking through the corridor with the green spring sunlight pouring in at an angle, I was able to arrive at the third classroom.
“Cheonggang, Cheonggang… … “That’s right.”
After comparing the audit written on the handout with the audit on the ticket, I slowly opened the back door.
The classroom structure was simple but beautiful.
There are four rows of desks arranged in a stepped manner, and the stools and supports have elegant curves. The curtains hanging from the arched window on the left side of the classroom fluttered in the spring breeze carrying the scent of flowers.
‘where… … .’
The assigned seat was by the last window on the left row, and as I sat there resting my chin on my fist, a familiar face soon came to sit next to me and grinned.
“The sky is so indifferent. “It looks like you are planning to compete with Christa Warden, this recommended student, from the beginning of the semester.”
As soon as I made eye contact with the sarcastic guy, my mouth opened blankly. No, gods, please. The first partner in my life was like this… … .
“A rough translation of Miss Christa’s words would be, ‘I’m really happy to sit with you.’”
The person who said that was a female student with a playful look and her hair luxuriously braided. She also said she had seen this guy at a Sega conference. Her eyes naturally fell on the name tag to check.
[Gertrude Panton]
Viscount Panton was an eastern magical family that served the Warden family. Each magician had two or three subordinate families.
“Well, of course I’m happy. I will dance with joy. “Because I can suppress this guy’s arrogant nose from day one.”
As the refreshing spring breeze shook the window curtains, the scent of a distant past tickled my nose like pollen.
-Why, Keyes?
It was a small city located somewhere on the continent of Adrion, and as I was watching the children play with my chin resting on the fence of the school building, Keyes came up behind me.
– Do you want to go to school too? no. There is nothing to learn by going. It’s just a waste of time.
Although Keyes was mute, his expressions were so colorful and honest that he was able to communicate with just his eyes. Our party was all like that.
– Are you not confident in making friends?
Friede came to my right, giggling, and leaned his back against the fence.
He was mortally wounded in the battle to save this city and had a bandage on his arm (it was fully healed two days later thanks to magic). His eyes were looking at the children, and unlike usual, he sparkled with a calm smile.
While Friede and Keyes were watching the children happily, Rista came to my left and smiled brightly.
– Lynn, about school. This is not a place to go just to learn academics.

– Then what are you learning?
– person.
Christa, this is a place to learn about this guy? Do you really have to learn it?
Just as he was making a despairing expression, the front door that only professors and lecturers could enter swung open, and an earthquake occurred in the other students’ pupils.
A man with broad shoulders and a bulky build walked silently and stood on the podium.
It felt like it would be right to make a living through martial arts rather than magic, but muffled sighs came from all over.
“Is it true, it’s a gorilla?”
“under… … “Is your homeroom teacher a gorilla?”
Is he a famous person? When I glanced at Christa, surprisingly, there was a hint of tension in this guy’s eyes as well.
“What are you doing?”
“You don’t know Owen?
An F grade greatly contributes to being expelled or repeating a grade, and that F grade is passed around to students when they are bored.
“Hmm… … .”
Owen looked at each of the students sitting in the classroom, and suddenly pinched his cheek with an expression that took on all the misfortune in the world.
“These pathetic monkeys are the students I have to teach for a year. “You have this head full of shit. How dare you lower your head when I speak to you?”
When the chalk floated by telekinetic power hit the forehead of the poor victim sitting in the front seat, a dull sound rang out. In the silence, all the cadets immediately straightened their backs.
“Is this situation funny? fun? You don’t know anything. Don’t you think everything is over now that you’re in college? Do you think you will become a court wizard of a great noble or build a personal magic tower and make a living?”
“… … !”
“f*ck that illusion. If you become like that now, I will call you Master. You are still just a kid, and there is a lot to learn. “Are there people here who belong to the Eight Great Schools?”
Then three people, including Hubert, raised their hands. Owen sighed as if the sky was falling.
“The most shitty things in this school are you idiots from the Eight Colleges School. It’s a bizarre formula you brought from your school, and confidence is beyond answer. “Is there anyone from Madose?”
As Christa and I raised our hands side by side, Owen looked like he was going to cry.
“I really can’t stand it. Look at that arrogant face that knows nothing about the hardships in this world. “Go home, learn how to change clothes on your own, and then come back.”
Owen insulted all the students in this way, and I couldn’t help but admire his verbal skills.
I was curious as to why a man with such unprecedented talent did not pursue religion and became a wizard.
Even if it wasn’t a pseudo-heretical religion, he would have made a lot of money if he had become a priest.
“What I will do for a year is to train you to become useful wizards. You guys are worse than monkeys. “Anyone who can’t keep up will be abandoned without mercy.”
No one opened their mouths.
Everyone may have been scared, but Owen seemed trained to catch the pod in any situation.
“No answer? “Am I scared?”
“no!”
“So you’re saying I’m easy? If so, great. I will take the test today. “The group that came in last place will be immediately expelled as they are deemed to have no aptitude.”
Weeding out?
Was it that easy?
Owen turned around and quickly drew a magic square on the blackboard and began filling in runes on it.
‘That… … .’
The boy raised his eyebrows.
Presenting magic squares and runes is like presenting a math problem. This means that you are free to decide which formula to use and how to solve it.
“The time limit is 20 minutes. Let’s try to solve this problem now.”
Owen sneered.
“Those who can’t solve it on time or who solve it last will be expelled as promised.”
As the students just blinked, Owen let out his anger.
“Why are you just staring blankly? The test has already started! Pairs form groups and there are 2 people in each group! “Even monkeys can solve a 2-star spell if they put their heads together, right?”
Then the students quickly took out their ink and paper and started drawing the magic square on rice paper. It was the same with Christa.
‘The shape of the magic square is a double fan shape. The runes used are Jeung (蒸) and Seo (逝)… … .’
The characteristics of ‘jeung (蒸): spread as vapor’ and ‘seo (逝): go and disappear’ are given to the wind attribute.
‘The formula that must be used to manifest the magic is… … .’
There were three main uses for magic. One is handwriting, handprinting, and mental calculation.
If mental arithmetic is the realm of geniuses, then pilsan is the realm of geniuses, which means that even a dunjae can use 2-star magic if interpreted as pilsan.
Of course, it will take several times longer.
“Help me.” “We will build the basic equation with a matrix and then find the answer with a cubic function.”
“A procession here?”
The boy chuckled.
“I guess I like to live a life that is more difficult than it looks.”
“I won’t forgive you if you grab my ankle. Release it right away.”
The boy sitting next to her, who was watching Christa with interest, scratched his cheek.
“Are you so desperate?”
“You have to be desperate. “I have to be desperate at everything, because I have to be the top.”
The weight of the family she was carrying could be seen in the gesture of writing down a mathematical solution in a magic square on rice paper with a brush.
Christa Warden is the third daughter of Prince Warden.
The Warden family produced the second generation of wise men and rose to the position of the Madose family, but for the past 100 years, it has been going downhill without producing a single worthy talent.
The Eight Great Sects used to ridicule the Warden family by saying that it was over, or that there were only four magic families in the empire.
Christa was born amid such adverse family circumstances.
The two sisters above were not at the level of ordinary people but rather dull people, so Prince Warden was betting everything on Christa.
‘The revival of the family will definitely be with my own hands… … .’
The magic square was filling up in an instant. Christa spoke without taking her eyes off the rice paper.
“Did you find the answer to the function?”
“here.”
And Lane and Christa, who were able to keep up with the speed that was several times faster than the other students, raised the corners of their mouths as if satisfied.
“Okay, now… … !”
However, there was someone who looked at the situation with disapproval. It was Hubert.
‘There are some fussy people out there.’
The Rohwinam School is the School of Wind.
Secret energy is voiceless and colorless.
A secret school technique that makes the sound and color of magic disappear. Because there were no traces of magic, even experienced wizards did not notice the presence of the magic that had been cast.
Hubert, a later exponent, had already reached the level of basic first style.
‘There is no need for grand magic. There is a risk of getting caught… … And it’s not meant to be used on people in the first place.’
When a spring storm blew over the campus, swirling flower petals, a magic square rose and collapsed silently in Hubert’s hands.
‘Just mix a little sharpness into the wind…’ … !’
The wind came through the window and the curtains fluttered vigorously.
And when the wind arrived at Christa’s desk by the window, it broke the rice paper fixed with a paperweight here and there… … .
“uh… … ?”
There was a strong scratching sound, the paper tore, and the magic square where I had just filled in the last number split.
“Well, the wind… … ?”
Christa looked so embarrassed that even her breathing was becoming difficult. Without realizing it, my thoughts leaked out to myself.
“I can’t use this magic square anymore. I have to start over again… … .”
Pilsan is made of a brush filled with magical power, and if this magic circuit is physically cut off, the magic will not be activated normally. A typical example was a case where the paper was damaged, as is the case now.
‘Vision of the Rohwinam School… … ‘You’re playing a childish prank.’
The boy could see a faint afterimage of magical power left in the wind. It was thanks to Bel Sidious’ eye-opening ability. He let out a short sigh.
‘What is left of this? Things are amazing these days.’
At that time, Christa, with an urgent look on her face, reached out to Lane’s desk.
“Hwaseonji, give me yours!”
“?”
“You have to do it quickly! “I don’t have time!”
The magic square must be redrawn, runes carved, and mathematical formulas filled in.
There are now 8 minutes left.
Even if you used 12 minutes, the solution process is already in your head, so if it’s 8 minutes, it’s okay… … .
– Krista, I’m sorry that I made you suffer so much by being such an ugly father.
I felt like tears would pour down even if just one line of consciousness was cut off due to my despair over my bad luck.
I have to be the best.
I have to be the best to make my family the best again, but I can’t be expelled from the first day of college… … .
“It’s impossible. “If you use your method, you won’t be able to make it in time even if you die, right?”
“what?”
“Giving up quickly is also the right answer.”
“You—”
“—If you’re going to do it that way.”
Without any time to surprise Christa, who was trying to grab the boy by the collar, the boy picked up the brush.
And one stroke of a stroke.
The magic squares and runes are drawn on rice paper in an instant using a sense that has been acquired through tens of thousands of drawings that are fluid and perfect enough to be close to art.
“If you fall into a state of panic so easily just because the other person broke some magic, how can you stop being a wizard?”
“… … !”
“Remember it well. “To become a strong wizard, you must remain calm at any moment.”
In the world where Rin lived, not even 8 minutes were given.
The difference between victory and victory is always every second.
What if I’m even a little late? The term “weeding out” cannot even be used as a joke. Because the only result was death.
“I’ll lead this time, so you keep pace. “Don’t just hold on to your ankles.”
