Chapter 263
Master’s classes are seemingly ordinary. Isn’t the title simple? Understanding and practical application of magic.
However, it can be said that this is the title of a subject that catches people like a book about the basics of magic that I read when I was locked up in a temporary detention center.
Master’s understanding of magic is magic based on mana, not mana.
In other words, it refers to magic used by demons or dragons, and application in practice means how to deal with magic using mana against such targets.
Even though I read it briefly, it was very interesting from my point of view. The most notable thing among them is that war magic, which has been researched and derived only for the purpose of combat on the battlefield, deviated from the existing concept of humans versus humans aimed at short-term battles, manipulated and administered impurities called mana in various forms to the demon king’s army as a kind of It is in the process of changing into a debuff that causes poisoning symptoms and lowers combat power.
It consumes much less mana than casting other magics, and the effect is excellent, so what is needed to use this new magic that is so versatile that even a knight like me who can only create really weak fire can learn and use it. It will be the process of understanding the magic of the demons.
As a rough analogy, since you can’t break down a dirty strong machine, it’s close to the concept of studying the machine and touching a fatal part if it’s broken, but the effect on the battlefield seems to be at a groundbreaking level. The effect varies greatly depending on the skill level, but the weakening of the demons can be felt, and in fact, it was written in the introduction of the class that Master wrote that it was a level of magic that changed the paradigm of war and contributed to the continuation of war over the past seven years.
And it’s also what Master is giving a serious lecture in front of the students. Except for the fact that I had to stand at the edge of the podium and listen to it like a wooden doll, it was informative for me, so I didn’t feel sleepy.
At first glance, it seems that the knights are cowardly, but it seems that the difference in specs is serious in the first place, so I don’t know if the knights who are obsessed with things like fair and square have already died in the evening, but if you can learn it, you can learn it, and if you can’t learn it, it’s a must-have skill that will make you cry. are said to be receiving It must have been that the long war had made the old-fashioned knights a bit more clever.
Fortunately, the vast majority of students in this experience class are also showing great interest. Maybe it’s because of his soft hair, but there aren’t any aspiring swordsmen or knights here who can’t use mana at all, but he doesn’t seem to react casually.
Master’s explanation began to come to an end while lightly clearing his throat, thinking that perhaps the academy’s educational policy had also changed due to the long war.
“Of course, this can also be applied to humans. However, not only is it less effective than demons, but if the opponent has more abilities than the caster, the possibility of not being effective is very high. Is there any student who can guess why this difference occurs? ?Yes, the student raised his hand there. Why do you think it might be?”
“The difference between magic and mana is large enough to play a role as an impurity, but the difference between mana and mana is not so great.”
“It’s a bit disappointing to say that it’s a perfect answer because insufficient impurity can be reinforced through magic. But you got it half right. Do you have any other opinions?”
what is it It’s not expected at all from my point of view. After waiting for a while and giving it time, when no one willingly raised a hand after the student just came out, Master nodded and continued talking.
“In fact, this is a general reaction right now. Mana, refining, and transformation are all too familiar to us, but on the contrary, the magic of demons is unfamiliar. He must have been a student who showed great interest in him. Even the assistant who belonged to the latter group was making an expression of indifference, so there is no need to be discouraged.”
Suddenly making me a sacrifice to lighten the mood? But it wasn’t exactly wrong, so I smiled lightly and nodded my head slightly. For some reason, at that moment, it seemed that all the attention in the classroom was focused on me, but I didn’t care and Master turned around and started drawing something on the blackboard behind me.
“Human magic is a history of development and improvement. It is a power that has been passed down from the moment when all humans, including elves, dwarves, beastmen, and humans, were able to use mana, and it is also a future power that will continue to develop endlessly. That power It is only after going through a series of processes of building one’s own world through the process of thoroughly studying the theory and schematizing it that we can stand as a wizard. The mana circuit in becomes a huge labyrinth. It becomes my own haven that others can’t understand while I build it, organize it, and open the way to use it.”
Drawing an appropriate circle, randomly stirring the inside with chalk to make it look like a twisted ball of thread, and then erasing it again with your fingers to imitate a labyrinth, it was no different from graffiti, but it was a perfect example.
“However, demons’ magic that uses magical power is different. Whether they strengthen their bodies or use magic, there is a magical organ that must be materialized and perfected.”
A circle of a similar size was drawn next to the suitable circular maze again, and this time, Master erased only two places without anything to create a passage. Only then did Master turn around and look at the students.
“This technique, called erosion magic on the battlefield, attacks the magic organ, not the magic circuit of the demons. No matter how powerful the demon magician is, it is an organ that inevitably exists, and it is an organ that cannot be strengthened. It works. But humans are different. Even if you attack the mana refinery, you can’t properly play the role of impurity, as the student just said. If you raise the impurity through a spell like I added the four limbs, when you are dealing with an enemy of the same class It might work, but it’s just as insignificant for high mages.”
Master turned around again and continued the explanation by drawing a large arrow toward the center of the circle with the thread maze drawn on it.
“Therefore, in order for this magic to work properly on humans, they naturally have to attack the mana circuit, but as you can see, the mana circuit of others is their own labyrinth, making it difficult to penetrate. It’s very inefficient because it’s magic. Unless you can see the flow of magic and use your hands.”
Judging from the sporadic bursts of laughter at the last words, it seemed like a joke that worked pretty well, but I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat.
So you’re saying that I’m casually writing things that others dismiss as funny jokes? If you have an interview with Epaga, you have one more question to ask.
“This is the reason why the Demon Lord Army couldn’t find a sharp number even after interpreting this magic. And it is also the core of my future classes.”
As Master slowly erased the blackboard, I glanced at the clock to see that it was exactly five minutes before the end of class. In fact, Master, who started to finish with such precision that I wondered if there was a built-in biological clock, looked over at the students with a smileless face and continued.
“This erosion magic is, after all, a product of knowledge. It is a method that humans have obtained after analyzing and studying an unknown enemy. It is a testament to how important it is to train to find new thoughts and perceptions through various knowledge. So it is. This class may someday be considered boring, but now, through unfamiliar concepts, it aims to help us realize once again how special we have and prepare a new foundation for moving forward.”
Therefore, it is a common subject. It’s also useful enough for aspiring knights who don’t dream of becoming magic knights and magic swordsmen.
“If you take my class in the future, you can think that these are the main topics. I’ll stop here for today. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to shine.”
I didn’t have to raise my hand first to force a round of applause. After the lecture, Master came down from the podium after a brief QnA session after the spontaneous applause of the students.
“It’s worth doing more than I thought. It’s more comfortable than working in the palace.”
Master smiled and spoke with a short sigh, and I responded with a smile and expressed a brief impression.
“It was an informative class. Thanks to that, I was able to know for sure that I am not of demonic lineage, if nothing else.”
“Haha. Demons always grow horns no matter how pale their blood is. Unless you sharpen your horns in the mirror every morning, there’s no way you’re a demon.”
Again, this is new knowledge. For a while, I feel relieved that I will be able to gain useful knowledge without falling into obsessive compulsive disorder.
“By the way, after making the magic organ, will I also be damaged by the erosion magic?”
“The nature of this magic is more like preventing the magic in the body from moving according to the user’s will. Did I mention last time? Demons are not completely free from the dangers of magic. It is the nature of this erosion magic to constantly threaten, so it won’t work for you.”
It’s because I’m already using my magic according to my will without a magical organ.
I remembered what he had told me before, so I could understand it without having to listen to what he said behind the scenes.
“At this level, I doubt whether I’m really using magic.”
“By the way. Both you and I have a long way to go.”
It’s better to see the road even if it’s far away than to get lost. Thinking so, I smiled for a moment.
