Episode 65
“If equations are used for single-target magic, using inequality for wide-area magic is one-sided.”
Professor Owen explained the theory by neatly writing down the formula for simultaneous linear inequalities on the blackboard and then looked back at the cadets.
“Does anyone know the reason for this?”
Cassena Page felt like hiding behind a book. I wanted to avoid making eye contact with the professor and presenting that.
“This, this, this, these guys are as bad as monkey shit! “Do you really mean that no one knows the reason for this?”
I don’t know why, but that muscular professor looked like he was about to cry. Then, the gaze suddenly landed on Cassena.
“Hmm, okay.”
Oh, no.
An ominous feeling enveloped my entire body to the point that the fur on my back stood up. As if to confirm that premonition, Owen smiled bitterly.
“The poor monkey who was transferred to my class this time—”
“—Professor.”
There was someone who raised his hand at that moment of crisis, and it was Lane Ludwig. Owen’s attention immediately turned to that direction.
“May I explain?”
The deal was to prevent Kassena from being embarrassed… … It’s really annoying, but there’s nothing you can do about it.
Normally, Christa would have raised her hand and showed off, but that guy has been in a bit of a strange state ever since he exchanged good words with Kasena earlier.
Owen’s eyebrows twitched at Lane’s confident statement.
“Confidence alone is amazing! Okay, try enlightening this ignorant professor. A senior cadet who smells less like poop.”
“First of all, inequalities are divided into absolute inequalities and conditional inequalities.”
“That’s something even the cat licking its own asshole in my corner knows, Lane Ludwig!”
“Here, in the case of conditional equations, they have the property of being able to find a solution just by substituting values within a certain range.”
“Hmm, so?”
“Due to the nature of wide-area magic that does not require precise calculation of the magic’s landing point, it is bound to be perfect for taking advantage of this property of inequality.”
While the cadets listened to the explanation in confusion and blinked their eyes, Kassena also looked at Lane next to her in a daze.
‘I knew you were good at studying. ‘I knew it, but was it to this extent?’
Perfect… … . Owen also pondered Lane’s explanation and was once again impressed.
‘The ability to point out the key points in a simple and clear way that even a child can understand… … .’
To that extent, it would be no problem to put it in a reference book right away. However, Owen’s personality was too distorted to just praise him here.
“That’s correct! As expected, the chief cadet is different. “I came up with a hundred and thirty damn sentences to destroy your character, but it’s a shame!”
If it had been wrong, it would have been a huge embarrassment, but that look on Owen’s face whetted his appetite.
“Yes, it was really unfortunate.”
I meant it. Lane had been very interested in Owen’s artistic language skills since their first meeting.
Owen’s teaching assistant began writing down on the board what Lane had just said, but his movements were strangely slow.
Perhaps it was because the content he had prepared was more complex and difficult than what Lane had explained. It’s sad to be compared.

Frontier port area in the southeastern part of the continent.
A man was sitting in a mansion that was horribly destroyed by a feast of corpses infested with flies and the reverberations of powerful magical power.
His face was quite short and commoner (if someone from 300 years ago had seen him, they might have mistaken him for Archmage Rin), but he was tall and had a strong physique.
“What now?”
The man suddenly burst out into a shout. In the material world, the only people who heard the voice were corpses.
However, in the mental world that the man had accessed through magic, there were five colleagues who could hear his voice.
The world seen through the man’s eyes was not a mansion full of corpses and maggots, but the inside of an underground temple where myrrh smoke was rising.
[He said he still needs to watch more.]
Inyoung, who was squirming in seat number 1, repeated what she had just said. Immediately the man’s voice took on a threatening tone.
“Why watch anymore? “If you catch that kid named Raine Ludwig and run him over, you’ll know for sure!”
[We captured and punished him, but what are we going to do if he is not the person we are looking for?]
“What’s the problem with that?”
[It’s a problem. It’s even bigger from my perspective as I’m currently infiltrating the school. How about doing some thinking?]
“What, you bastard?”
As the magical power of the two characters collided, the runes that formed the mental world began to stutter painfully. It was the voice of number 5 that stopped the situation.
[Let Valencidis do his thing. He has to accomplish the most important thing in our plan now. If you get caught now, you’ll be in trouble.]
“Leave alone the bastard who killed Liveny?”
[Ah, so if it turns out to be the one who killed him, Valencidis will take care of it. what’s the problem? What’s so urgent?]
The man rolled his eyes. The other cowards said nothing, whether they would follow Valencidis’s judgment or not.
“These pathetic, timid rats with no answers.”
Then, without any time for his colleagues to stop him, the man’s image disappeared from the mental world. At the same time, he lifted himself up from the corpse he was sitting on.
‘Valencidis, if that coward can’t do it, I’ll do it myself.’
If you go into the school and kick all the kids who stop you, catch him and kick him too, that will be enough.
You may get scolded by your ‘mother’ for your unexpected behavior, but as long as you don’t get caught, it’s okay.
Because he, like Liveni, was a son created by Tureina out of nothingness.

“Ugh, I don’t know, I don’t know!”
Lunch time, bench on campus.
Cassena, who had been staring intently at the summary of points that Lane had hand-organized, eventually leaned back against the backrest and hung her neck back.
“If you don’t know, just study until you know. “Isn’t that the basis of studying?”
Lane seemed to get tired of talking so obnoxiously and was turning the pages of a thick reference book. Kasena glared at her like that.
“Why aren’t you wearing the glasses I gave you?!”
“Why are you wearing it when it’s not even night?”

“Just put it on!”
What kind of nonsense… … At that time, there was someone who brought a pure smile to Lane’s lips.
Food is great.
It was Fifi, a being who came across the languid summer sky, dragging the clear sound of flapping wings.
“Peach, did you sleep well?”
“did you sleep well. did you sleep well. did you sleep well.”
Fifi, who was sitting on Lane’s shoulder, shook her head back and forth, and Lane smiled and stroked her head.
Then I felt a hot gaze. Kasena was looking at the scene with her eyes shining brightly.
“What is that? It’s a sun parrot, right? “I’ve seen it in books!”
“you’re right. “He’s my pet bird.”
“Where did you get it? Me too, let me touch you too!”
“It’s not possible.”
In order to protect Fifi from Kassena, who was reaching out with both hands, he stood up from the bench and leaned back.
“Why not!”
The reckless nature of a young lady who has lived her life ordering everything until now is truly scary.
I could just let him touch me, but first I need to correct that rotten personality just a little bit.
“Miss, it’s time to study.”
“Study, study, study.”
“You can just count it as a short break!”
“Shhh, shh, shh, shh~!”
Kasena looked at Fifi, who was rubbing her face against Lane’s cheek while imitating the person’s words, with her mouth drooling.
“Only those who have done all their work can rest. Miss, you have a lot of work to do. “Peach, I’ll see you later at the dorm.”
Kasena was staring blankly at Fifi moving away into the distant sky, her cheeks puffing out nervously and tears welling up in her eyes.
‘No, it’s unfair. I’m not saying I won’t let you touch it at all… … .’
Kasena, who was glaring at us bluntly, lay down on the bench with a clasp on the back of her head. As expected, it is not something a noble would do.
“Hmph, that’s enough! “How can Rain, a genius who knows everything, know my feelings?”
“yes?”
“I just don’t know! I don’t even know basic math formulas! My head hurts so much every day. “Because I don’t know anything.”
Kassena, who covered her face with her notebook from the sunlight, added in a gloomy voice after a while:
“I guess it was just greed. I had to postpone coming to school until later. “I just don’t know, so how can I not be embarrassed?”
Did Kasena also have her own difficulties?
It’s not that I don’t know that feeling.
It’s really annoying, but I decided I should point it out clearly here.
“Why is it painful to not know so much?”
“what?”
“Doesn’t the fact that there’s a lot you don’t know mean there’s a lot to learn? “The fact that there is so much to learn means that there is nothing but improvement in the future.”
And then there was silence.
From the beginning, I didn’t think I would have to convince him. I just decided that it would be okay to crack that defeatist mindset a little bit.
How long has it been since then?
About 5 minutes had passed, Kasena sat up and started glaring at me again as if to kill me.
‘Hmm… … .’
Teaching isn’t without its rewards. Seeing herself so satisfied, a slightly sour feeling pierced her heart.
‘Tureina, maybe you should have been a little kinder when teaching that tomboy… … .’
* * *
Since then, the two weeks have passed quickly. There was one good thing that happened along the way.
Elin Ludwig had returned to school.
In the professor’s office, my aunt sighed as she sorted out the mountain of documents that had piled up over the past 50 days, but when Lane came in, her eyes widened fiercely.
“What kind of accident did you, this guy, cause while genius professor Elin Ludwig was away?”
“?”
“Casena Page! I heard you tried to run away with that kid at night? No, this doesn’t matter. How on earth does he walk… … “How on earth did this happen?”
For Elin, who had been planning to reach the status of the leading Madose family by using the genealogy of genius wizards that led to Scalzi-Caven and Elin-Rain, Kassena’s rehabilitation was bound to be a rather big red flag.
When I explained why I became involved with Kassena, Elin glared at Lane with a puzzled expression and pinched both of his cheeks tightly.
“Wow, I’m amazed, really! What a pathetic nephew! Who am I to go through such trouble? If you do something like that, you’re a bastard! huh?”
“Jeez, I’ll give it to you…” … .”
When Elin let go of the cheek with a sigh, Lane made a crying sound while touching the reddened cheek.
“A strange rumor spread that my aunt was obsessed with black magic. “I thought I had to do something for my aunt’s teaching position.”
“What?! You idiot! “Who am I?”
“This is genius professor Elin Ludwig.”
“okay! Elin Ludwig, the genius professor the world is paying attention to, is this person! If you cut me, the one who will lose is
Although he mistreated me like that, I didn’t feel particularly bad because my intelligent nephew did it for me.
That’s why the strange phenomenon of laughing like an idiot while shaking your head has appeared. Elin was not good at hiding her expressions.
Elin may seem to snap at Lane whenever she gets the chance, but this was actually her first-class expression of affection towards her cute nephew.
‘Well, there’s nothing wrong with being friendly with the Page family.’
Didn’t Kavan’s brother further solidify his family’s status through his friendship with Madelia Page during his school days?
“Ugh, uhhuhuh. Stop it! You’ll be busy with final exams in two days. “You may be less busy than me.”
The question is, how did Cassena walk again? Was the rumor that his spine was damaged just a lie?
But that wasn’t just a rumor, I had unintentionally overheard what Kavan and Brim were talking about… … .
Oh, I don’t know. My head hurts because I heard the secret about Tureina, but there is so much work to do. Let’s think about it later.
“But aunt.”
“hmm?”
“The Inquisitors… … What did you say about Tureina? “I don’t know what I did wrong to do that.”
At the question uttered softly by Raine, Elin’s hand gestures that were rummaging through the folders faltered and stopped.
– Tureina is alive. I missed it by mistake… … .
– Actually, if you compare it with Lin, it makes sense that Tureina became the leader of the Black Church… … .
That’s because that troubling story came back to life in my mind again, but I couldn’t discuss it with anyone because there was a silence order on that story.
‘I can’t even predict what kind of incident will occur the day Tureina comes to the front line… … .’
My nephew was waiting for his answer in a slightly hesitant manner. He borrowed the book and looked at it, so he must have envied Tureina.
‘Like most chicks… … .’
I thought there was no need to break that feeling with an ambiguous answer. And since final exams are coming soon, I don’t want to worry about other things.
“It was nothing special. It looks like the warlocks used some of Tureina’s books as a code communication system. “That’s why they said it was like that.”
“really?”
“Oh my, you pathetic! Otherwise, I would have been tortured or something, and would I have come back right away like this?”
I felt a little guilty about the lie I made up on the spot, but seeing my nephew’s face become brighter immediately made that feeling melt away.
“thank you for telling me. Well, I have student council activities, so I’ll leave now. “Your aunt looks busy too.”
As Lane turned to leave, Elin snapped her fingers as if she remembered something, attracting attention.
“You prepared hard for this final exam, right?”
“It’s okay.”
“so so? “You’d better work harder than that.”
“why?”
When Lane tilted his head, Elin grinned as if handing him a secret gift.
“My sister-in-law said she was coming to see it. “Take your pathetic little brothers too.”
