Chapter 1391 – Magic City Lygia
It’s been dozens of minutes since Dre came in.
Clow was still asking questions, controlling the atmosphere in the room.
“The Coffin Ghoul’s Coffin is a special object that can be said to have simplified the Supreme Realm, the Heart Realm. If it could be tamed, it would be a better warehouse than anything else, but it is impossible.”
When Clow asked why with his eyes, the stylishly dressed professor confidently answered.
“Like the undead, coffin ghouls hate the living and will attack the living when they approach, but after a certain period of time, they become anxious and have a habit of returning to the coffin. Also. “There is no point in hiding the coffin because you can find it wherever it is.”
Also, the inside of the coffin is a space created by the ghoul’s unknown way of thinking, similar to the inner world. The sophisticated professor said that it was an unknown world that was too dangerous for humans to use, and that the risk was too high. He answered Clow’s question about whether a coffin ghoul’s coffin could be used as a warehouse, saying it was impossible.
But Clow shook his head.
“When a coffin ghoul is anxious, it doesn’t look for a coffin. It looks for a stable place. Like a frightened animal.”
A cozier, safer place than your own coffin. For example, it is a place filled with the energy of death. If it is a place where you felt safe before becoming a coffin ghoul, that is, when you were alive, leave the coffin.
“In this case, a coffin can be used. The coffin ghoul considers a cozy place as its own coffin and makes a new coffin, so it takes about a year to make the coffin. Although it is only possible for about a year.”
“…”
A professor who is dumbfounded by information he had no idea about.
Looking at the professor like that, Clow thought it was boring.
‘Ignorant.’
Even though he was a professor, he only memorized books at best.
There are a lot of things that you cannot know until you actually realize them in the field. Idiots who are satisfied with only printing.
There were many people who had field experience, but the quality and purity were very low.
Most of them were unable to answer Cloru’s questions properly and had to be ridiculed and have their knowledge compared.
But no one expressed displeasure.
Rather, I felt admiration for him as a man who was said to be a treasure trove of knowledge that was once discussed about Emrepes and a secret weapon of Lygia Academy.
Although no one feels approval or awe at Clow’s arrogant attitude, there is no one who feels repulsion.
All of those gathered here are professors or higher. Those who are excellent enough to be invited to Lygia.
It couldn’t have felt good to see people respected as intellectuals looked down on wherever they went, but the distant difference in knowledge felt good.
Furthermore. There were not only failures.
“The lava lizard’s body is made of lava, so it can cut its entire body. However, there is a misconception that it can survive if it cuts off its body and repairs it quickly. Normally, it repairs its body with mana, but when it runs out of mana, it can cut off the surrounding lava. “You have to eat it to recover. In other words, your question about whether you can get lava by cutting the body of a lava lizard is possible, but not efficient.”
The professor who answered the question I didn’t ask had a nervous look on his face.
And Professor Clow, who had been expressionless, opened his mouth.
“That’s great. But remember, you don’t necessarily need mana or lava. All you need is a substance that can replace lava.”
If you prove it properly, Clow coolly admits it.
There were less than ten people who were recognized as such, and they were grinning with stiff necks.
To be recognized by that Claw!!
The professors around them looked at them with envious faces.
And as it got closer to the last turn, there was someone looking at them all with concern. Okay. It was Dre.
It’s Claw who humiliates the opponent by boasting about his knowledge that surpasses his expertise.
However. His final agenda is the dragon magic he has become an authority on and let’s discuss that?
Those who have been recognized so far were able to compete somehow because it was in their own field. If Clow had asked him to compete for knowledge in another field, he would have surrendered straight away.
In particular, dragon magic was famous for being so difficult that even those who had heard it was a genius shook their heads.
Although Dray is rumored to be a genius who developed spiritual magic in just one year and a man with a great interest in dragons, can he compare to Clow in terms of knowledge?
‘Maybe he won’t go wild.’
‘Professor Clow shouldn’t cross the line…’
In fact, what everyone was worried about was Dre going on a rampage.
I admit that he was a genius with spiritual magic, but dragon magic, and even competing with knowledge, was simply impossible.
Any question will be difficult to answer. Then you will feel humiliated.
In addition, if Clow treats Dre in the same arrogant manner as he has so far, I don’t know what the rumored scary Gwangyeom will do.
So far, normal… No. It was very surprising that he was listening with sparkling eyes, but it was Gwangyeom who had the rumor that it could suddenly change.
Despite the professors’ concerns, Clow was also clearly aware of this.
‘Dragon’s eyes. Heart above all else.’
It was the reward promised by the Red Tower owner who attracted Clow.
‘There is no way he could have prepared such treasures alone, and several more people would have helped.’
Their request was to save Lygia’s face by showing her victory through knowledge. The idea was not to be too provocative.
It’s not good to go against your will so much.
Even if it hurts your pride a little, please think about compensation and bear with it.
‘It’s a trivial worry.’
Clow didn’t care about his honor or pride.
He’s not arrogant. He just spits out facts without any interest in consideration or anything like that.
His lack of consideration, even himself, is no exception.
Even somewhat humiliating demands can be accepted.
Wizards are creatures that pursue efficiency.
Clow is no different.
If you endure a little effort, you can obtain supreme treasures.
Emotion. In particular, there is no way that something useless like pride can ruin the work.
Finally, the last one. It was Dre’s turn.
Dre came forward with an excited look on his face.
In name, they come out to provide support, but in reality, it is a battle for school pride.
‘As long as it ends in a good way for Lygia’s side.’
Clow opened his mouth as he thought about the task.
“Okay… First of all, anything is fine. Can you come out in front and draw the dragon magic formula?”
The surroundings were filled with tension.
Clow, who has competed in the opponent’s field so far, will eventually proceed to his own field.
This instructor-only lecture would show off Ligia’s superiority over other academies, and put Frunar Academy last to ask for event support. He said it has now become an annual event.
This is something that Frunar Academy clearly recognizes.
There was nothing to criticize about Clow’s actions.
How will Dre come out?
That moment. Dre said, looking at Claw.
“Couldn’t you write it first?”
Everyone took a deep breath.
I thought Dre was openly expressing his displeasure.
Well, he wasn’t a fool, and he must have sensed that Lygia was subtly trying to insult him.
It’s not strange to get angry.
And Clow… Had a strange look in his eyes.
‘Hoo…?’
Normally, when Dre showed his displeasure, he would have ended the event with a brief apology.
That alone could be framed as Dre pretending to be angry and running away because it was difficult for him to compete with Clow in terms of knowledge.
But now in Dre’s eyes, it’s not displeasure, it’s anticipation. There was a passion for learning.
You try it first. It wasn’t like a fight, it was purely out of curiosity.
“Hmm.”
Clow, intrigued, picked up a tree branch placed on the table. It was his staff.
Knock knock.
When I knocked on the table twice, the chalk on the blackboard flew out and moved quickly.
Crack, clap, clap, swoosh.
It was quiet, and the only sound was the sound of chalk scribbling.
What the chalk draws…
“Hoo! Magic circle!”
“That… Ha. I can barely tell it’s dragon magic.”
Even the most famous professors could barely recognize the letters engraved on the magic circle because they were related to dragons. I had no idea what kind of magic that was.
Meanwhile, Dre stood up and walked to the front of the podium.
And he shouted in an amused voice.
“It’s tail strengthening!”
“!”
Clow was slightly surprised.
This was some kind of test.
Dreda, a dragon lover, grinds up the body of the plague dragon Malacia and reveals that the destruction of the dragon’s magic bullets was actually the work of the fanatic Nanar.
He wanted to know how much he knew about dragon magic, so he taught him a little-known magic.
He expected that he would notice the strengthening, but he couldn’t believe it was the tail.
Claw was silent and then spoke.
“Ah-oh?”
The room was noisy.
Are you asking me if I know? At the very least, it was clearly the most unusual reaction Clow had ever shown.
Dre nodded his head repeatedly.
“There are many who look down on the tail, but when fighting dragons, even if they are humans, they often end up in hand-to-hand combat. In such cases, the tail is a very good weapon.”
Why didn’t instructor Dre’s tone of voice become archaic? No one asked this question.
It is quite common for an instructor to speak differently at the table than usual.
“Hmm.”
Claw groaned briefly and wondered what question to ask about tail magic.
And people were shocked.
‘Professor Clow…!’
‘Smile?’
He didn’t realize it, but he had a smile on his face.
In the end, he was also a professor who delved deeply into a field,
When someone who has a deep understanding of his or her field asks a question or shares a story, he or she is instinctively excited.
At that moment, Dre snaps his fingers. He tapped on the blackboard.
Paaaaat!
Chalks made of mana appeared and began to move against Claw’s magic circle.
Clow frowned.
“What… Um?!”
A brief surprise.
As Clow continued to add to the magic circle he drew… Clow’s tail magic was strengthened.
While the other professors were confused, he understood it.
“It would be better this way!”
“…!!”
Claw was shaking in real time.
To be honest, I have never really studied tail magic unless it was him.
A race that is already difficult to understand is the dragon race.
The dragon at its peak is Dragon Fear. Or, the ‘dragon power’ called Bigi was famous, and people wanted to interpret such a wonderful thing.
No one is interested in the tail.
Only Clow was interested in the tail.
However…
‘You say you have more insight than me about tail strengthening?’
At first, I was uncomfortable with the way he spoke, as if he was looking down on me, but the discomfort became realistic.
Displeasure soon gave way to other emotions.
That feeling. Thrill.
“Under!”
Claw’s tone became harsh, but there was no anger.
His young face shows urgency.
He wanted to prove that he knew better about the magic he had devoted his life to.
“How about this?”
Let’s draw a new technique and Dre is your partner! I clapped my hands.
“There was also this point of view! Then what about this?”
“…!!”
The intestines suddenly became more active.
The lively voice mainly came from Dre, but the lively atmosphere was infectious.
Because the attitude of pure engagement with knowledge was an attitude that a professor could not help but love.
On the other hand, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut about Dre’s abilities.
Clow and Dre were reciting all kinds of knowledge about dragons to each other, and the instructors were both amazed and impressed by the high quality of the content.
A high-level debate that even those who have studied their whole lives can barely understand how it goes!
“It is said that a dragon’s body is so strong that it is almost impossible to carve a circuit into it. This is especially true of the horns…”
“That’s right. It seems to be widely known, but the dragon’s body has a very high anti-magic power, but because it has a dragon, it is harmless, so if you inject it, the body will eventually accept it.”
Clow’s question suddenly became a real discussion, not a trap test.
It wasn’t a confrontation, but they were happily exchanging opinions with each other.
‘Instructor Dre…!’
‘You’re not inferior to Professor Clow at all in dragon magic?!’
‘No, this actually seems to look better?’
As the story continued, Claw’s eyes changed from surprise to joy.
Who would have thought there was someone in this world who understands dragons as much as you do!
Then Dre spoke.
“Ah. The topic you threw at me was very interesting.”
“Hot topic?”
When Clow tilted his head, Dre answered.
“Can humans use verbs?”
“…”
Clow was silent and then spoke.
“I don’t know.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“That’s impossible.”
There was bitterness in his words.
And Dre said:
“No. It’s possible.”
Tension rose again in the once warm room.
Come now. Klow and Dre’s opinions are at odds again?
Claw made a fierce expression. In a way, he seemed disappointed.
“Is it possible? I’ve been thinking and trying about that problem for over 10 years. But I just couldn’t find an answer.”
Deep regret and disappointment in his voice.
He said he wasted his time. And while he seemed to have met someone he could communicate with, he was disappointed that it wasn’t really that much.
Still, I asked with some anticipation.
“If there is a way, please tell me.”
“What can be done is by changing the human body to be closer to that of a dragon.”
Claw’s eyes widened at the immediate answer. The professors could no longer breathe properly.
“Change your body to be closer to that of a dragon? Look, the dragon is…”
“Wait a minute. I’ll tell you first. The dragon language is the soul rather than the body. It is due to its racial characteristics. Is that what you want to say? But it doesn’t mean it can’t be interpreted through magic.”
Confident tone.
Clow was silent for a moment and then raised the corners of his mouth.
“…Hoo. “I’d like to see each other’s interpretations.”
“That would be fun!”
The two looked at each other for a moment.
After a while. The chalk floated out, and a very complex design that had never been compared before was formed.
While everyone at different levels was dumbfounded, it was Claw who was more shocked than anyone else.
‘You understand better than me!!’
So I became even more suspicious.
The more I delve into dragon magic, the more dragon words I get. I realize that it is a magic that is only allowed to dragons, which are higher creatures, and that it is an impossible realm that humans can only look up to.
‘Even though I know that, it is knowledge that can never be ignored.’
The magic circle and calculation values that Dre draws now are close to explaining the verb in human language.
Even if it is a real dragon, it is a difficult task that cannot be done without studying.
‘Amazing. That’s why it’s sad.’
If we had studied this much, we would have felt keenly that it is impossible for humans…
“…I will admit that your studies are deeper than mine.”
Shake!
The professors woke up in surprise.
That Claw. An authority on dragon magic, known as a treasure trove of knowledge, acknowledged Lygia’s shortcomings in a position where she was the only one who could gain an upper hand at Frunar Academy?
Murmur.
The surroundings instantly became noisy due to the excited professors.
Either that or not. Claw stared at the person in front of him.
“So, I’m truly puzzled. How can changing one’s body into a dragon for Dragon’s Word magic result in such a result? It’s just a matter of time. If you reorganize your body into something completely different, even if it’s the body of a dragon, which is a high-dimensional being, there’s a chance of rejection or death from overload. “It’s high.”
Even if you miraculously have the body of a dragon, you must have knowledge beyond Claw to even attempt dragon speech.
The only creature capable of such a thing is the devil. There are also cases.
However, it’s just glossed over with magic and power, so it’s hard to say it’s true dragon magic…
That moment.
Clow flinched at the look in Dre’s eyes.
Sharp. It’s daunting.
‘As if… A being of a different class…’
It’s like I’m standing right in front of you…
Murmur.
Perhaps due to the pressure Clowman was feeling, the professors continued to talk loudly.
That’s when Clow broke into a cold sweat. Dre opened his mouth.
“Quiet.”
A short and bold word.
Jeez, Jeez!!
That one word became reality, quieting the noisy room and making the professors sit in their seats like shy girls.
After a while. Even more than the professors, Clow spoke in the most astonishment.
“This is… Yongeon…?!”
Dre spoke as the room became quiet.
“You’re right. Usually, they die. That’s why we need to mix in holy magic.”
“Holy magic?”
“Unlike the ‘new skin growth magic’ you mentioned, it seems to be close to a miracle in the first place. It has the purpose of alleviating the body’s rejection reaction, but the biggest reason is to ‘return’ the body to its original state immediately after using the proverb. “
“…Easier said than done.”
It’s easier said than done.
You want to use dragon magic and also use miracles?
Not white magic, but a new, high-level recovery magic similar to it?
Clow knew very well how difficult it was.
“I admit that it is a very difficult task. Just mixing divine magic and dragon magic is the same. Even if you change your body like that, it is different from the existing dragon, so you have to create a new spell to suit that body.”
Dre gave several examples.
Clow responded in astonishment and bitterness.
“Isn’t that… Something close to impossible?”
“But if you take the time, it will happen eventually. It will also bear fruit. If we continuously change our bodies and add techniques to make our souls remember the shape of that body, it will become easier to use dragon words.”
Dre provided detailed explanations to make it easier for Clow to understand.
Professors who were listening. And the secretary Lygia, who was recording the events here, keenly understood the feelings of the students who sometimes were dumbfounded and could not understand the professor’s words during class.
Clow was like that too.
‘Does this high-level insight belong to a human?’
It’s like… It’s like a real dragon is right in front of you…!!
Listen quietly. Said Clow, who decided that Dre was definitely above him.
“…That’s not a dragon.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s not the dragon I wanted to resemble or become, it’s just something I resemble.”
Although it is an eye-opening new path. It is difficult to see this as the dragon that Claw was pursuing.
“Maybe so. However, if we keep repeating it, one day we will reach a dragon. Maybe, no, we will definitely reach a new form of dragon.”
“…”
Claw was silent and then spoke weakly.
“At least for me…”
That moment. Dre’s presence has increased tremendously.
“Ugh…!!”
Under pressure, like a real dragon. Drae shouted.
“Why are you making excuses!!!!”
A loud shout echoed throughout the room.
Clow was shocked and then answered.
“It might seem like an excuse to you, but to me it’s impossible…”
“No!! I’m not talking about talent! I’m talking about your lack of honesty!!”
Clow made a dumbfounded face.
“I’m not being honest?”
“I felt it throughout this lecture!! The reason you are so knowledgeable in other fields is that you took inspiration or hints from other fields and applied them to your beloved dragon magic. You were trying to find a new path!!”
Claw’s eyes dilated greatly.
“The sacred magic would have been applied in a similar way to what I just mentioned. The coffin ghoul coffin would have been an attempt to find out how dragon words work in an unusual world!”
“I-I…”
I couldn’t deny it.
Because they were all hitting the nail on the head…
“I know that you are blocked by a wall. I know that you feel despair because of the great gap! But how long are you going to stay sulky?”
Are you sulking?
It was a cute expression, but no one paid attention to the word. Because I was overwhelmed.
“What you don’t know, you can tell others. Today, I have a different perspective on the dragon magic you interpreted. Just as I came up with new inspiration after witnessing the attempt to change the dragon magic to be closer to human-like!”
Quack! At the end of his speech, Dre grabbed Claw’s shoulders with both hands. Claw’s eyes trembled.
“Magic is literally the miracle of the world! Mystery! Don’t doubt it! The possibilities are endless and will definitely lead us to new possibilities! Miracles!! Just like a man I know always showed us new possibilities! Miracles! !”
“…The possibility of magic…”
There is no end.
That’s like a proverb that all wizards know.
This is a statement that contrasts with the sarcasm that wizards are creatures that pursue efficiency.
That means. It reminded me of my childhood.
Young Clow’s heart raced as he saw traces of dragons and imagined what incredible creatures they were…
It was blocked by the wall and lost heat.
And now. I discovered a new path.
He stuttered with his heated chest.
“I want to be taught by you, but in return, I don’t know what I can give to a man like you…”
“I already got it.”
“You got it?”
“The new perspective you gave me!! If you think that’s not enough, show me the new perspective you gained by acquiring my knowledge.”
“…!!”
Whoops. Tears welled up from the corners of Clow’s eyes.
It was a tear that I couldn’t understand at first glance. These were worthy tears for a man who had wandered and lost his way all his life.
“We may still be mere sparks, but as we mesh together, we will become a big fire.”
The hand holding my arm was hot.
Clow said, lowering his head.
“Master. Teach me.”
“Not a teacher. We are comrades walking the same difficult path. We are friends.”
“…!!”
Dre let go of Clow, who was unable to speak, and looked at the professors who were looking at him with hot eyes.
“Their knowledge was interesting too!! If anyone is interested in our topic, come visit us!! You are always welcome!!”
A sentry post away from river support.
Wizards were flirting in an interior that was too fancy to be a sentry.
“Frunar Academy must be in full swing by now, right?”
“Oh my gosh, sue me.”
“Watch your mouth. If they find out…”
Waaaaa-!!
“?”
“What.”
“Explosion?’
A loud roar that could be mistaken for an explosion.
That was being heard in the classroom.
On this day. Dre spends entire days providing instructors with new perspectives, creating new paths worth studying for decades.
Clow was happy, following along like his assistant and marveling at his new knowledge.
And McMahon, the director of Lygia Academy, who heard about this gathering, laughed helplessly.
“No fuck.”
