Episode 71
“how is it? “Wouldn’t this get a good evaluation?”
A week before the final exam, Katsena Page, who had designed a spell that fit the theme of scrolls, asked with a slightly nervous expression.
Raine, who was looking at the parchment as if it was quite interesting, shrugged his shoulders.
“well.”
“W-I guess it won’t work?”
“well.”
“what! “Make sure you answer clearly!”
The sound of the casena whining is so loud that it makes my head pound. Her Raine shook her head with a soft sigh.
“Because that answer is not something I can give.”
“Then who will do it?!”
“It’s magic.”
Cassena tilted her head, wondering if he was joking, but there was no sign of playfulness on Lane’s face.
“This is what the person who taught me magic told me. “Magic is putting your heart into one square.”
Instead, the emotion that forms in those eyes like a sad smile… … I don’t know exactly, but it probably felt like a feeling close to longing.
“With all your heart? “To magic?”
Magic is, at its root, a study that pursues reason. Here, emotion is an impurity that must be excluded. But putting your heart into it?
“I couldn’t understand it, and I still don’t understand it now, but when I actually tried it, it fit better than I thought.”
“what?”
“It is said that if you put your heart into magic, magic will answer your heart.”
At that time, Lane’s voice seemed both dreamy and heartbreakingly bitter, as if walking on a path covered with fallen leaves during a long autumn.
Then, when Lane laughed, the scene that had been drawn in his mind without knowing why disappeared. I felt somehow regretful.
“So don’t ask me, ask the young lady’s magic directly. Then magic will give you the answer.”

“Trapezoid… … “You can implement that with scrolling?”
Even the president, Madelia Page, had to look at her daughter with a bit of confusion. Head Professor Marhena narrowed her eyes.
“A trapezoid? “What kind of confidence is this?”
“It looks like the poor student is trying to implement telekinesis.”
“Don’t you know that the trapezoid is a magic square of telekinesis, Kyle Inum? Madelia’s daughter is probably the only one who chose telekinesis while taking this test.”
“Even in the long history of
Telekinesis is a representative non-attribute magic that does not belong to the eight attributes of magic.
It’s easy to get started, but it’s very difficult to get to the advanced level, so most people are famous for simply learning the introductory level and then giving up.
After finishing grabbing Christa, Gertrude, who was watching the same screen, opened her mouth.
“Even if you only know how to use entry-level powers, you can do most things, right?”
“okay. “Researching other attributes while researching telekinesis is also a way to increase your value as a wizard.”
There is a big difference between just casting a spell and implementing it with a scroll.
If you want to understand it easily, it is enough to know that in order to make a scroll, the caster must have considerable skill in the magic attribute.
That’s why many people were amazed when Christa perfectly captured the magic of kinship limits in a scroll.
“While both the Four Great Elements and the Four Minor Elements use runes belonging to the modified Lutishen, telekinesis is one of the reasons why it is difficult to use the amplified Delby Shirt alone.”
“Then there might have been a way to compromise with a less difficult attribute. “Is it the pride of the Sedoga family?”
The difficulty of telekinesis increases to a violent level from the moment you go beyond the entry level, so it was unclear whether even if it was a 1-star magic, it could be properly implemented with a scroll.
Heh, Christa crossed her arms arrogantly and smiled as if it wasn’t that bad.
“It’s a battle of sorts here, I guess he has a personality that hates losing.”
Christa is a heroine who has devoted herself to the study of magic since she was six years old.
Perhaps that was why, when he saw someone who truly struggled with magic like himself, he was somewhat drawn to it.
Gertrude looked at her master grinning and shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him.
“It’s better to change your personality of showing favor to your competitors so easily.”
“Are you a competitor? They’re criticizing me! That guy isn’t even worth a fistful of weight! Who am I? “I am Christa Warden, the genius of the century!”
“Hmm~ Does that mean there is no way Prince Lane will ever be taken away by Lady Kasena?”
Then the female students who had overheard this story covered their mouths, and the male students whistled. Immediately the blade of Christa’s hand was stuck in Gertrude’s head.
“When you ask me if I’m coming these days, I’m crawling all the way to the top of my head, huh?”
Hehe… … Gertrude had tears in her eyes as she touched the top of her head where the lump had grown. While those who have completed their exams enjoy such leisure.
“… … .”
In the middle of a fierce battle, in silence like the eye of a storm, Kasena felt the tension of being able to clearly hear her heartbeat.
‘It’s definitely still lacking, but… … .’
Lane, will I be able to study magic together with you and talk like that someday? This is probably the first obstacle in doing so.
“It’s trapezoid… … “I don’t know much due to my limited experience, but what kind of magic is this?”
It was then that one judge showed interest. He was an old man, his back bent and his hands on the ground with a cane.
“This, this!”
Perhaps due to tension, the voice rose to a high pitch for a moment and then cracked. It was an embarrassing moment, but perhaps because of that, three or four more judges came.
“It’s a telekinetic magic square!”
The Page family, like the Elector’s family, was a great noble belonging to the first estate, so they had to use informal language with everyone except the Elector’s family.
“Telekinesis?”
“It’s so convenient! “Even if it’s hard to move, if you have this strength, you can do anything!”
“Oh, would you mind showing me?”
Kasena cleared her throat, cleared her mind, and began drawing the letters of the gods in the air with her fingertips.
The light created by the fingertips remained as an afterimage, flickering beautifully in the air.
“Oh, oh oh oh?!!!”

The beautiful and unique kinship drew exclamations of admiration not only from the judges but also from the audience.
The shape of the magic square is a trapezoid.
The rune engraved is Zhou (呪; praying), and the mathematical formula used to solve it is the cubic equation.
“… … !”
Madelia’s eyes opened wide as she watched her daughter in worry. Surprised whispers are heard here and there.
“I used it at high speed… … !”
“Magic that belongs to the advanced level of 1-star magic… … !”
“No, it may seem great, but they just used the blood limit… … ?”
Madelia shook her head.
No matter how limited the Page family’s blood relatives are, if your understanding of the magic is low, it is impossible to cast it this quickly.
And that’s not just a 1-star magic, it’s an advanced 1-star magic that uses cubic equations?
‘To this level in just two months… … ?’
Kassena, who was panting with a slightly flushed face, grabbed the rune that was shining in the air, and a colorless and transparent spinning sphere appeared in front of it.
‘So what kind of magic is that?’
The judges made the question that Madelia had in her heart come out loud. Kasena immediately responded with a nervous expression.
“This sphere is the core of telekinesis. “When you want to do something telekinetically, you just put your hand here and think about what you want.”
When Kasena placed her hand on the sphere, the brush that had been lying there suddenly came to mind. Then the parchment surfaced and the portable stool moved slightly to the side.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
He finished the explanation with a slightly excited expression, but the judges just exchanged glances with each other in cold silence.
It sure looks like it would be convenient.
It seems convenient, but doesn’t it seem too trivial to be called scroll magic?
Just when I felt despair and was about to close my eyes, oh… … A middle-aged man wearing expensive-looking wizard robes had a dark glint in his eyes.
“Right… … “I understand why the Zhou rune was used for telekinesis.”
Zhou (呪) is one of the double runes with the dual meaning of ‘origin’ and ‘curse’. The reason it requires a cubic equation even though it is a one-star magic is because of its unique characteristics.
“We established the foundation of magic using the trait of ‘origin’ and even established the sustainability of magic using the trait of ‘curse’… … “Do I understand this correctly?”
The most important feature to pay attention to in curse-type magic is persistence.
Unlike magic that causes a lot of damage all at once, a curse is a magic that must continuously inflict damage.
Kasena recognized him and nodded with an expression of surprise.
“I tried various ways to take advantage of telekinesis, but perhaps because of the limitations of 1-star magic, the only results were cases where the power of telekinesis was either too strong and the duration was short, or too weak and the duration was long.”
There, Lane did not give the correct answer right away. Instead, he only gave a hint like this.
– If you can only use 1-star magic, shouldn’t you use double runes?
Whatever Lane taught me, it always ended up being the right answer. It was the same this time too.
“What I found there was this liquor! With this rune, you can have as much telekinesis strength as you need in real life, and it can also be durable enough to be used about four hundred times!”
Then, as if they had been taught a lesson, the wizards started whispering with their eyes shining.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Four hundred times… … “The Lord’s rune goes so well with telekinesis-type magic.”
“A single rune can produce the same effect as a 2-star spell. Isn’t this greater than I thought?”
At the center of the whispering, Kassena spoke with a shy expression and added:
“This is just my quick thought, but telekinesis isn’t just a ‘power of convenience.’ It is a ‘necessary power’ for people who are having difficulty in life… … .”
Perhaps it was because the words came from his own terrible experiences, but there was something about the explanation that Cassena gave shyly that touched people’s hearts.
“So that’s it. I wanted to create a scroll that could really help those people. It’s still lacking, but… … .”
And at the end, when he smiled innocently and humbly, silence overwhelmed the room, as if the world had stopped.
It is a piece of the truth that Atlante taught Rin and Lane passed on to Cassena, and it contains the spirit of magic.
As if magic had answered that feeling, a huge uproar erupted as if to fill the moment of silence.
“Can you give me one right away? “A whopping four hundred times!”
“Please give me one too. “At my age, there are days when my back hurts so much that I have a hard time getting up in the morning. This will be a great help.”
“It would be perfect to give one to my mother. “Please give me one too.”
There were as many as seven orders received in an instant from judges from all walks of life.
Kasena blinked in embarrassment, as if she couldn’t believe this enormous favor.
Looking down at that figure, Raine was smiling with satisfaction without even realizing it.
‘It’s a natural result. ‘If we’re being really strict, you could be said to be one of Rin’s students.’
Of course, I am the worst among the disciples right now, but whatever.
Not only the head professor, Marena, but also the assistant professor, Kyle, were smiling.
“Madelia was hiding an interesting dish.”
“I agree. Although he’s still not good enough, he’ll definitely become an interesting wizard if he grows up. “He’s a really, really interesting wizard.”
Ah, the golden generation. There are not only talented cadets. There are so many cadets with great mindsets.
I’m so looking forward to it.
What form will magic take in an era where these children play a leading role?
“Kasenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
At that time, an embarrassing shout exploded from the VIP room, shaking the hall.
It was Yuren Page.
Despite the restraints from his retainers, the nobleman was shedding tears of joy and waving his hands in the direction of Kassena.
“What, what, what are you doing?! really!”
Kasena turned her head as if she didn’t know such a person and concentrated on drawing a magic square on parchment.
“… … .”
In such a commotion, Madelia Page could not control the tears that welled up and had to cover her eyes with one hand.
– Your Excellency, I am truly sorry, but you will no longer be able to walk for the rest of your life… … .
– You said you wouldn’t learn magic or anything! What’s the point of learning it? Disabled wizard? I don’t like that kind of thing!
– You can’t teach anything. My will is so stubborn… … sorry.
The memories that passed by my ears in an instant were fragments of despair, fragments of sadness, and fragments of tears.
It was like that, it was definitely like that… … .
What I see before my eyes right now is something so dazzling that it’s hard to see… … .
– Your Excellency, is it okay if I help Miss Kasena walk?
I’ve said this and thought about it many times already, but I truly owe you a debt that I can’t repay. A debt that is not enough even if I repay it for the rest of my life… … .
