Episode 84
“Hey, this is…” … .”
The professors who were looking at Lane’s magic square exchanged amused laughter.
“This is also beautiful.”
“I never thought I could complete a 5-star spell in such a short amount of time!”
“This alone is amazing.”
5-star magic is considered the most beautiful magic square among wizards. The primary reason is that it can have a pentagram, which is the most perfect star form.
“If only the magic square of the previous two cadets had seemed like an attempt to mix art and magic… … .”
This is because the runes and mathematical formulas that fill the rice paper and spread out in an orderly manner are seen as a form of art in the eyes of magicians.
“Cadet Lane’s magic square is the only path to magic! “It shows our confidence that we will compete using only magical essence!”
When Deputy Professor Kyle gave such praise with a sincere smile, the mood in the audience, which had already been leaning toward Christa, completely changed.
“The second professor gave me a lot of praise?”
“That’s right! “You completed a 5-star spell!”
The late exponents of the Eight Great Schools, Logan, Lillian, and Nora, could not help but look at each other in surprise and muttered this.
“If there is not even a single mistake in Confucius’ five-star magic calculation… … .”
“If we do well, we might win… … .”
“Against the Warden and Harimun… … ★”
The volume of magic shown by 5-star magic is truly explosive, and it cannot be matched by 3-star magic or 4-star magic with double runes.
“Yes, that’s it!”
In the VIP room, Elin Ludwig clenched her fists and nodded furiously. Seri’s face lit up.
“Did you do a good job?”
“of course! “No matter how much Lane he is, he can’t bridge the gap in artistic sensibility in such a short period of time.”
So, you just have to push ahead with something strong from the beginning. What do you mean? Of course, it’s an overwhelming ability that people of the same age can’t even come close to.
“Why are you talking so loudly just looking at the magic square, Inum! “This is especially true for high-level magic like this.”
High-ranking magic is delicate and sensitive.
Let’s assume that five cogs turn at the same time. If only one of them has a defect, wouldn’t a problem arise?
“Then let’s see how far that confidence can reach!”
The moment Marhena injected magic power into the magic circle, golden ripples suddenly appeared gently in her vision.
what… … ?
When I felt something strange and closed my eyes once, the dragon blood field had disappeared and a new world was unfolding, filling my vision.
As if the excommunication from before had opened a door to a new world.
“This place… … .”
“flower garden… … ?”
Summer bugs dyed the hills yellow and hid among the wildflowers in full bloom and sang.
Far away, on the horizon where the view ends, the sun was setting below the mountain peaks, making this golden world even more exciting, distant, and yet scary.
A wind carrying the heat of summer blew and caressed the flower garden, causing the petals to flutter and pass by the professors’ faces.
‘A lot of it is blurry and incomplete.’
It was as far from the real Mother Nature as it was an immature landscape painting drawn by a child. And yet, no, that’s why this magic… … .
“And what is this smell?”
There is a smell from somewhere.
Savory yet spicy… … Is it the smell of the beginning of the year? The strange experience did not end there.
The wind gently fell on my head, and I had to feel the warmth of someone stroking my head.
It is the memories, sensations, and longing that remain in Lane’s heart… … Friede’s cigarette smoke and Keyes’ hand stroking the boy’s head.
“… … !”
It touched in a sorrowful way the memories that adults and professors who had become old people cherished in their hearts.
Because everyone has been to a flower field like this before. With loved ones like parents or siblings.
And the memories of the things they did for him, the memories of laughing and talking with them… … .
‘This is not just a materialization of the scenery that remains in my mind…’ … .’
Marhena had to blink her eyes blankly during this ridiculous experience.
‘I don’t know how, but I can keenly feel the emotions that Jenum felt at that time, as well as the emotions that I feel when thinking about that day… … .’
I feel everything.
The excitement I felt as I looked at the dazzling scenery, the distant feeling I felt as I smelled the scent of summer, and the sense of loss that I could no longer return to this place… … .
‘I’m probably only sixteen at most, so what can I do to feel this way in one place?’
But it seems like the fantasy ends there.
As if the daydream was over.
The next moment, the sounds of the world poured into a place other than this world, and the flower field illuminated by the twilight began to distort.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
As if they were watching a play, the young professors exchanged blank laughs, lost in the lingering emotions.
“To be able to embody the beauty of nature in summer so vividly… … .”
The old professors, who were recalling the exciting yet fond memories of their childhood that they could not return to, quickly wiped the corners of their eyes.
“Cadet Lane, what kind of magic did you use? Was he a hallucination-type wizard?”
“No, I’m not good at hallucinations.”
“It was a complete hallucination.”
“It’s not a hallucination. “The rune that became the key to my magic is Se.”
It’s three… … ?
The professors had to keep quiet for a moment in embarrassment.

“If it is the rune of the world, isn’t it definitely a rune used only by wise men who have reached the rank of 6 stars?”
“It is famous as a rune used for visual barrier.”
“It couldn’t have been easier to use… … .”
Then Lane shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“It wasn’t that difficult using my formula.”
eix=cosx+isinx.
This formula is a formula that can very simply express the relationship between exponential functions and trigonometric functions.
“If you put π in place of the variable x, a formula that seemed complicated can be expressed simply as a constant. To put it more simply, it would be eπi+1=0.”
“… … ?!”
“If you keep this formula in mind, it is not difficult at all because you will be able to use constants when expressing the relationship between pi and irrational numbers and imaginary numbers, which are necessary to expand your imagination.”
The audience had to believe their eyes.
What exactly is that boy, and why is he teaching mathematics to professors at
And aren’t the professors shaking their heads as if they realized something from that possibly rude remark?
“Insert a complex number into the position of an exponential function… … ?”
“Because the exponent can only be defined in the range of real numbers, it was impossible to construct a mental domain… … ?”
“If a method to create a function with a complex number as an exponent is developed… … ?”
The boy did not hide his knowledge.
He flaunted it and didn’t even hide it.
The dean who had taken care of him when he was young had generously shared his knowledge with him, so he thought it was the right thing to do.
“I can’t believe there is such a beautiful formula in the world.”
These reactions came not only from professors, but also from elders among the 8 to 16 students who were watching the senior match.
“You figured out that formula yourself?”
“Is that really sixteen years old?”
“Why was he called the genius Confucius?”
When Cassena Page, who was feeling a wave of praise, looked up at Madelia and asked her why, her trembling voice returned.
“Just now… … It is a formula that can truly be called the great discovery of the century. “It is more than enough to advance modern mathematics several times.”
Caven Ludwig, you… … .
How on earth did you teach your son? What did you do to be so smart?
“Now, this is definitely a remarkable math equation, but shouldn’t we focus on the evaluation now?”
The person who calmed the atmosphere in the room, which was leaking in a strange direction, was Kyle, the deputy head professor. Kyle continued to admire the magic square as he looked at it.
‘I built an image world with the runes of the world, and expressed the twilight by engraving the runes of light on the fire attribute magic square… … .’
And when I asked what the identity of the smell was, I found that the rune of Hun (burning incense) was engraved into the earth attribute magic.
Did you choose your sense of smell to compete with your sense of sight?
Smell is a great sense for eliciting emotions. If that’s what you’re aiming for, this could also be said to be a truly remarkable choice.
“One thing I was disappointed with was how long the magic lasted. “Just when I was about to feel something, it disappeared. What is the reason?”
Then Raine licked his lips, looking a little embarrassed.
“Actually, I made those flowers using magic I learned at the local magic club.”
Ah, Logan’s eyes lit up when he realized the secret of the flower. Was it the magic that was used at the end of the match that briefly brought life to the dead plant?
“Because I can’t extend the duration of that magic no matter what I do. “To conclude, it’s because of my shortcomings.”
Professor Owen felt his muscles twitch.
‘Krista, I thought only that poop monkey absorbed everything around him… … .’
Was it the same for this guy?
No, it was an even bigger monster than that.
How on earth are you planning on becoming a more powerful monster, so instead of being satisfied with your own talents, you’re absorbing everything around you?
“You are humble. So one last thing: What was your intention when you came up with this magic? To make up the gap with magical skills?”
“I think those two have excellent magic skills… … “The reason I chose this was because I have no aesthetic sense.”
I can’t even play music.
I can’t even do art.
If I had something that those guys didn’t have, it would be the experience of seeing beautiful places.
“So I thought it would be a good idea to just show it vividly. “It was a sight that I found truly beautiful.”
Of course it didn’t work out.
The flower garden that I saw with everyone back then was even more beautiful than this, and it shone more brilliantly than this.
Lane Ludwig smiled shyly and scratched his cheek.
“But as expected, it didn’t come out as well as I thought, perhaps because it still lacks a lot.”
But is there anyone who felt that Lane was lacking even after seeing this?
All of the cadets who were here now had become convinced of what they had vaguely felt.
Lane is on a different level… … Only one person was different.
‘Lane Ludwig, as expected of you… … .’
It was Christa Warden.
What flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lane’s back was the fighting spirit that did not give in to this difference in class.
‘I’m so glad I met a rival like you. ‘Because I can grow several times more after seeing you.’
Caroline smiled as she looked into her student’s eyes. In her mind, she was starving herself to the point where her lips shriveled… … .
‘I thought Christa would definitely take the top spot in such an advantageous topic.’
The level of the enemy, Lane Ludwig, is too high. There was something about that boy that couldn’t be explained by the word genius.
“It was certainly great magic, and a great formula was applied, but it was an examination of beauty.”
At the judges’ table, Professor Theon, who had been deep in thought, finally spoke softly.
“What I paid attention to was the details of the art. “I could tell that Cadets Cayden and Warden were beautiful just by looking at them.”
“I agree.”
“But in Cadet Ludwig’s case, there were quite a few shortcomings. In terms of details. “It’s blurry, like a child scribbling.”
Then Professor Kyle smiled brightly, as if he had said something well.
“It’s a child’s doodle, that’s right. “I felt that way too.”
Kyle, that guy… … .
It was a time when Elin Ludwig was gritting his teeth.
“The direction of evaluation is a bit different, though.”
“… … ?”
“How do you feel when you see a child expressing his or her thoughts clumsily but sincerely on paper? “Wow, I’m really bad at drawing. Are you thinking like this?”
“Of course not.”
“Yes. But as we grow older, we stop drawing pictures like that. “Because I’m afraid of failing.”
This is because those who have become adults teach this to those who have not yet become adults.
Just follow the path to success.
Don’t even try anything that you think will fail, people’s time is limited… … In this way, human thinking and sense of challenge are gradually diminishing.
“But I could see it in this magic. A pure, child-like sense of exploration. And the spirit of challenge to pioneer a new path in a place where failure is not tolerated, such as final exams. Lastly, the ability to support them perfectly.”
Then the other professor slightly shook his head and expressed his disagreement with Kyle’s opinion.
“But isn’t that the same for Cadets Cayden and Cadets Warden?”
“Both cadets clearly excelled. But wouldn’t another genius from the Harimun school or the Warden family be able to do that someday?”
“… … !”
“As magic has advanced, countless styles of magic have been created. The Seven Precepts of the Harimun School and the Blood Limits of the Warden Family are among them. But were they all that perfect from the beginning?”
“that… … no.”
“What Cadet Lane has created is only the beginning. “It’s natural to be immature and clumsy.”
But someday, at some point in the future, there may be a new school that focuses on such magic.
“I have nothing to say about my personal favorite, but I really like Cadet Lane Ludwig. As I said during the midterm exam, this cadet’s magic gives us a glimpse into the future of magic.”
Kyle smiled at Lane once, then picked up a brush and wrote his precious score on rice paper.
[10]
Then Marena, who was watching the juniors’ discussion with her arms crossed, said, “Ahaha…” … She laughed out loud and picked up her brush.
“You are right, Inum. “Then perhaps pushing the back of a wonderful child is one of the things an old man should do.”
And the moment Marena put down her brush, there was silence as if the world had frozen… … Afterwards, cheers poured out like an explosion.
“crazy! “The deputy professor and the head professor gave 10 points for the first time?!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen him give 10 points!”
“Is Lane Ludwig really going to win?! Beating Harimun and Warden?”
As Elin anxiously watched the other professors scribbling on rice paper, Brim approached her and held her hand tightly.
Each other’s hands were shaking violently.
With joy that makes one’s body tremble, born of pride, and impatience that arises from tension… … .
“All screening has ended.”
Finally, all the professors held up their rice paper.
In silence with only the sound of the heartbeat, the teaching assistant who had added up all the professors’ scores on a portable whiteboard opened her trembling lips.
“With this, the top cadet for the first semester final exam for the 1388th class of
fantasy,
