Episode 82
The first place where the crowd cheered was Kayden’s rice paper.
“oh… … ?”
“The magic square must be… … .”
“It’s like sheet music… … !”
Professor Caroline stroked her chin.
‘I knew it… … .’
As Rigwind-type wizards have different ways of activating their abilities than other wizards, the way they build magic squares is also different.
‘It’s already captivated the audience with its uniqueness.’
Due to Kyle’s clairvoyance, the situation was magnified and projected, so everyone was able to look at the magic square in detail.
“The magic I have prepared is a 4-star magic… … “Is that guy planning on making a symphony?!”
Logan muttered with a sigh.
A symphony usually refers to a piece of music composed of four movements, but its meaning is slightly different when handled by Rigwind Type.
Professor Owen nodded.
“It seems like that’s what he’s aiming for! That damn rich tone when the four movements sound simultaneously rather than sequentially… … .”
It is literally no different from a concerto produced by the best orchestra. Then Chayhak’s student Ilin tilted his head slightly.
“But that means four tones are played at the same time, so unless you have a certain level of skill, wouldn’t it be complicated and noisy?”
“Well, you’ve done quite a bit of thinking with your shit-filled head. It certainly is. “If you don’t have the skills, you could say it’s a gamble.”
Margena, who was sitting at the judges’ table, had similar thoughts.
“High risk, high return, no matter what happens, the 3 seats have already been decided, so you’re going to use your trump card and aim for the top position…? … “That’s fun.”
No, it’s not like that.
Lorelei, a young elder of the Harimun school who was in the audience, shook her head at those who were thinking like Marhena.
‘Caden is a musical genius.’
Is it correct to say that I was born to make music, or is it correct to say that I lost my voice for the sake of music?
“Kayden, cheer up! “Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssshh!
At that time, a middle-aged man with a plump face and body shouted excitedly, and those who appeared to be in his group shouted wildly.
Lorelai looked back, smiled, and slightly lowered her head.
“Your father has arrived.”
“Oh my, Elder! Long time no see. You’re still beautiful, hahaha!”
Then the middle-aged man became even more noisy and vigorously folded his body, his belly fluttering.
The relationship between the two was deeper than expected.
Kayden’s father was a fairly famous merchant in the southern part of the empire. If there was one problem in life, it was that my son, who had just been weaned, was mute.
– Master, how can you become a merchant if you can’t speak?
– Pass the family name on to your new child, and let your eldest grandchild find another path.
I was afraid that my son would get hurt if I raised him to be a prosecutor, and I was afraid that my son’s future would be eaten up by religion if I pushed him out to become a priest.
While I was wasting my time, I heard that the Harimun school was touring the city, so I attended to calm my agitated mind… … .
It was a time when I heard a performance that was better than I expected, so I went backstage to express my gratitude and promised a donation.
– Kayden, no! If you touch their instruments carelessly… … ?!
How did this happen?
Doesn’t your five-year-old son perfectly imitate the music played by Harimun’s students on the spot?
The person who was most excited there was no one, but Lorelai, who was Harimun’s great older brother at the time.
– Ah, father… … Won’t you give me your son?
– yes?
-Your son, your son is a genius! A genius in music! You must order music! If you leave it to me, I will definitely take responsibility and raise you to become a wizard and performer who will leave his mark in history, so please!
That’s how Kayden entered the Eight Great Sects as Lorelai’s disciple.
The growth rate was so rapid that by the time he turned thirteen, he was considered one of the late exponents recognized by everyone in the school.
Cayden was Lorelai’s favorite student, and at the same time, she became a source of pride, loving her more than her own children.
‘Our school is a school that pursues the beauty of magic in the first place, and there is no wizard of his age who can beat Kayden on this subject.’
However, as if contradicting Lorelai’s confidence, exclamations flowed from here and there, directed to other places. These were aimed at Christa Warden.
“What exactly is a magic square?” … .”
“It’s like a painting… … .”
“That is the magic square of the blood kin limit… … !”
What Christa chose was a 3-star magic.
Although it was a 3-star magic, the uniqueness of the blood limit and the girl’s elegant handwriting created a strange harmony, making the magic square look like art.
“And what about Raine Ludwig?”
And when Lane’s rice paper was reflected… … Reactions were divided into two. Some people exclaimed in awe, while others rolled their eyes.
“Five magic squares… … ?”
“That means… … ?”
“It’s a 5-star magic… … ?”
Even though 5-star magic was a mountain of a brush, it was natural that the calculation speed would slow down considerably as the number of mathematical equations that had to be solved increased exponentially.
‘Even for me who is a GLaDOS (4-star) rank, 5-star magic is still too much for me… … ‘You’re no longer at student level.’
When Madelia Page looked at Lane with a mixture of surprise and concern, Cassena, who was next to her, asked the meaning of that expression.
“why? Isn’t it good to use high magic? “Rain uses the strongest magic, so of course he will win, right?!”
“No, it’s not that simple. “That could actually be a self-defeating act.”
“what? why?!”
5-star magic requires precise calculations that are incomparable to 1- and 2-star magic, or even 4-star magic.
“Coordinate calculation, power control… … However, it is questionable whether there is room to add aesthetic beauty to it.”
“… … !”

“This is a test where you don’t get a high score just by using big, grandiose magic. That’s why I’m worried.”
Lane Ludwig… … .
Even with your skills, you had no choice but to be cornered this time?
“There might not have been any other choice.”
Lilian Karain, who was watching the match with her classmates from the Rivendell School, opened her mouth.
“To face the Warden and Harimun.”
Elin Ludwig, in the VIP room on the other side, was thinking the same thing.
“Rain’s talent that differentiates him from those two is his magic skills that are not appropriate for his age… … “That was the only way to make the most of it.”
But no matter what, it is a 5-star magic. Can you complete it in 60 minutes, with all the aesthetic effects you intended and designed?
“Are you serious about that?”
Christa, who couldn’t help but wonder the same thing, frowned. Lane Ludwig didn’t reply at all.
To be precise, I couldn’t do it.
In a state of extreme concentration, recall, draw out… … The scene I saw there that day, vividly, ever more vividly.
* * *
“The first to complete the magic was Harimun’s late index!”
After completing the magic square construction and writing, Kayden approached the judge’s seat.
The judging panel was made up of 10 senior professors in charge of second and third year students, led by Marhena.
Since each professor could be given a minimum of 0 points and a maximum of 10 points, it could be said that the closer to 100 points, which is the perfect score when adding up all of them, the closer to the top position.
“Oh my?”
“This magic square is nothing short of a work of art.”
The judges’ eyes lit up as if they were interested.
The magic square was a form in which the four attributes spread out in each direction and were elaborately interlocked.
Professor Kyle nodded, looking closely at the magic square.
“The north is a square, the east is a circle, the south is a fan, and the west is a triangle… … “In terms of attributes, the order is earth, water, wind, and fire.”
Does the order have any meaning? Or is it just an aesthetic effect? … Then Marhena placed her hand on her magic square.
“Then let’s take a look at your skills, huh?”
And as magical power flowed along the fingertips, and light spread along the lines of the ink that colored the paper, the thoughts of all the audience stopped for a moment.
A heavenly scene descended upon this earth.
As the square magic square was colored with light, the earth undulated gracefully and the quiet sound of a flute was heard, drawing the pattern of spring in my ears.
‘spring… … .’
‘I can hear the sound of spring… … .’
As the circular magic circle was colored with light, a new wave of sound arose at the end of the flute sound.
‘Stars shining as if pouring from the summer sky… … .’
‘And the sound of the quietly breathing water of the river with the stars shining backwards… … .’
When the fan-shaped magic square shines, the loneliness of autumn is brought out with the sound of the wind and strings.
Finally, when the triangle glowed, the sound of a bonfire crackling quietly in the fierce, fierce wind came to my mind like the sound of drums.
Until all the sounds of the season were over, no one in the audience dared open their mouths.
“what… … ?”
“aftertaste… … ?”
Long after it was all over, soft applause was heard from all over the audience, and soon the stadium collapsed in applause.
“Waaaaaa!”
“tremendous! Is this magic? “The band didn’t do it?”
“I almost want to hear it again!”
Lorelai proudly looked at Kayden in the midst of the commotion, barely able to suppress the rising emotions in her heart.
‘Cayden can’t talk.’
Although he couldn’t speak, he was able to express his emotions through music from a young age.
no.
That’s not it.
Because I couldn’t do that, I was able to express my emotions and the world I saw and heard and felt through music.
“It’s really huge. Most Rigwind types use music to create magic, but to be able to create music so perfectly with magic… … .”
“The runes and mathematical formulas used to create this melody are so sophisticated that even I, a professor, cannot evaluate them… … .”
“What a harmony! It was the harmony of the world!”
Head Professor Marhena took another close look at the magic square.
The rune that represents spring is Zhan (潺).
The rune representing summer is 褘.
Fall is west, winter is cloud.
In the spring and summer, we used advanced math equations to create a lively feeling, and in fall, we extended it to beginner equations to create a more lonely feel.
“And in the winter, in order to find the middle of the two beats, I separated the formulas and forcibly extended the calculation formula… … “The runes and mathematical knowledge are absolutely perfect.”
“That’s right, Master. “It was truly a culmination of magic and music in harmony.”
“That’s right, Professor Cha Seok! “You could just take this to the band and use it!”
In the midst of such rave reviews, the professors wrote down the grades they would give Kayden on rice paper and then lifted it up at the same time.
[8]
[9]
[9]
[10]
[10]
[10]
[9]
[9]
[10]
[10]
The total score was a whopping 94 points.
Cheers erupted from the excited audience.
“That’s an incredibly high score! “Even the head professor, who is famous for not giving grades, gave me a whopping 8!”
“Isn’t 95 the highest score so far on this test?”
“That’s the highest point ever! “Most of the cadets who received 94 points were selected as top students!”
As expected, the Harimun School will win this match, then the match is already over… … Such a whispering filled the hall.
However, there was a heroine who did not pay any heed to the whispers and did not give in at all, but walked past Kayden with a confident gait and stood in front of the professors.
It was Christa, the daughter of the Warden family.
‘I’ve already fought against guys with overwhelming talent several times.’
And I won it all.
With my own weapon.
Except for one person. Today, I will defeat that guy and I, Christa Warden, will stand at the top.
“Are you ready to see the magic that will inevitably give you the chief position?”
