Chapter 55 – Volume 11 – People Who Are Serious About Drawing Circles (5)
‘What, crazy.’
When I looked to the side without thinking, the shape of the magic circle drawn by Nia was quite shaky, and the purity was so low that it was opaque.
Apparently she said that considering that she normally drew a perfect circle when Nia also took her entrance exam, she should have drawn at least a fairly high degree of purity even though she’s not perfect now.
But suddenly being in such a state, does it mean that something was different from the original?
‘Although the flow of magic was slightly different.’
Still, drawing a magic circle in the first place would be difficult because it would be difficult to draw while enduring such changes in magical power.
But why is there such a huge difference?
It was a very unusual situation for me, so I couldn’t help but be very embarrassed.
As if it was the same for the other students, a heavy air full of embarrassment began to weigh down the entire classroom.
“Well, first of all. It seems that everyone noticed that something was different from usual. That’s right. The tools I gave you will be very different from usual.”
My eyes go to the ‘brush’ that Professor Rondo gave me and used without a doubt.
If you think about it, didn’t you use a pen-type tool instead of a brush to eject magical power?
So, the only reason why Nia failed now is because of that one difference?
“A tool like this really pops the magic like paint or ink comes out when you draw. And as you know, the pen is very easy to draw precise lines.”
But the brush breaks easily and all the strands of the brush’s bristles soak up the paint and spit it out.
In other words, the ejected shape is much more complicated than drawing a circle with a pen.
The difficulty of drawing a circle increases even more because the magical power that has just been spit out contains the complexity of breaking the brush and becoming a variable.
“In that sense, Kali students who drew a perfect circle right away with a brush are amazing. Not only were students like Nia panicked and couldn’t draw properly, but there were also many students who failed to draw a circle at all.”
In fact, the student who drew something this perfect praised me, saying that no other grade had ordered something similar.
As a result that made me stand out more than the senior Nia, the eyes of other guys looking at me changed strangely.
It’s not like getting attention, but it’s not the direction I really wanted to be planted with this kind of character…
“Now, wait a minute Professor. But is this really that important? The finished efficiency is the same anyway.”
“That’s right. It’s no different in ‘Magic Circle’.”
But when it comes to drawing characters and the lines that support them, even these tools start to have a profound effect.
So, there are a lot of wizards who end up falling down while practicing a new tool there.
Because they’ve been using magic only as a pen since before.
Magic needs a new form, but it’s too late to adapt.
“The only ones who adapted were those who were rather keen on drawing as a hobby. From then on, the connection between painting and magic began to emerge.”
“That’s…”
“Perhaps the Nia student studied magic and had little experience in drawing pictures using a brush. But the Kali student would have drawn a lot of such pictures.”
“…Yes.”
In fact, when Nia entered the school, the picture she drew was not an oil painting, but a picture using colored pens.
That doesn’t mean the painting wasn’t great, but it made me understand that the difference now is due to the degree of practice of brush strokes.
“But I don’t want to tell you that your magic skills improve when you draw.
The only thing painting and magic have in common is the basic use of tools. Especially Cali students?”
“Yeah?”
“Kali students are also a bit unusual. Actually, even if they used a lot of brushes, they adapt quickly. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a magic circle like this drawn at once.”
“That’s…”
“Do you know why I brought up this story?”
No, I have no idea.
What do you mean you have to learn various tools, including the magic circle drawn with a brush?
Is that the base of the magic circle?
“You must be focusing on the situation that you have to learn the magic of drawing with the ‘brush’ that I just showed you. That shouldn’t be the case.”
Then what do you want to say?
While I was perplexed, Professor Rondo continued to explain while drawing.
“The current example was a brush, but in fact, you can practice brushes in advance. But what if something like that comes out?”
“You have to take time to adjust.”
“Yes, but what should I do with that time?”
“Should I shorten it…?”
It means that when something new comes out, you shouldn’t learn it from scratch.
The real foundation is the foundation built so that you can learn it as your own as soon as possible.
Learning the theory normally is not the foundation, but hitting this skill itself into the body itself is the foundation of magic studies.
‘Her…’
Is this why the painters of this world have had so much time to get used to the new style of painting?
Anyway, no one else knows, but Professor Rondo’s definition of ‘magic basics’ was like that.
“Basics isn’t learning to do something in theory. It’s laying it down further down in your hands and instincts. I’m teaching you how to build it, not magic.”
Only when you build a foundation like that can you follow the ever-changing definition of ‘good magic’ from now on.
Following that definition is a ‘good wizard’, and the purpose of this lecture is to create many good wizards.
Such was Professor Rondo’s logic.
“Today is the first day, and the lecture will end here. Books are not needed for this lecture, so just bring your body to the next lecture like today.”
A professor who shatters common sense from the first day of first grade.
More than I expected, Professor Rondo was a great person.
He is not only good at drawing, but also has great enthusiasm as an educator.
“Oh, anyway, if it ends this early, what are you doing until the next lecture?”
“I should at least visit the academy.”
“OK.”
He is talking and moving with Nia, but Nia was thinking about something because of the lecture.
Well, it’s me who succeeded properly, so it’s less, but it must have been a shocking lecture for Nia, who had a part of her own ability that she believed in.
Perhaps the reason Professor Rondo insists on giving lectures like this is what he is aiming for.
“Uh, that’s the swordsmanship club? Judging by the color, it looks like we’re in the same grade.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
“I really wondered why they didn’t bump into each other, but I’m finally seeing it.”
Most of them were boys in tracksuits wearing white T-shirts and shorts.
The girls I occasionally see are wearing cropped tees that reveal their cleavage well and broumas with a very high degree of exposure, which is very pleasing to the eye.
And if you think about the image of him wielding a sword diligently while sweating, you can’t help but feel the beauty.
“It’s the first day here too, so it seems to be over soon.”
Didn’t I say that the swordsmanship department calls them instructors, not professors?
Anyway, after bowing politely to the instructor, the 1st year students of the swordsmanship club rushed out and started heading towards the cafeteria.
Well, we were walking around like this because it ended too early, but it was getting closer to lunch time.
“Uh?”
At that moment, the pink ponytail hair that I had seen a lot came into view.
The ears, which I checked just in case, were proud of the large size typical of elves, and the sharp, small fangs unique to half-orcs were revealed in the laughing mouth.
Even the big breasts with crop tops sticking to them are the same as what I remember…?
‘Why is that crazy bitch here?’
It was a half-orc who had been rioting in the exhibition hall the other day and delivered a strange letter saying that it was a letter to be delivered to Siwoo.
It was a strange content that I didn’t know if it was a love letter or stalking.
Surely you knew that I was Siwoo and didn’t enter the school to stalk me…?
“Huh? You…?”
In the meantime, it would have been nice to just pass by, but it seems that the other side recognized me, perhaps because I looked too much.
Let’s run away, maybe I’ll ruin my life at the academy if I’m wrong with that strange woman.
“Uh?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
To come running and grab this by the scruff of the neck without even thinking about it, is, after all, a crazy bitch.
But if I see you talking like that, you didn’t come in because you stalked me, did you just meet by chance?
Anyway, once I got caught, it was scary, but I felt like the other person had to do it.
“It’s been a while!”
“That, yes. It’s been a while.”
“Did you deliver the letter well!? What did you say!? I forgot and didn’t write my address, so I thought I’d never get an answer.”
Was that a mistake?
Well, in many ways, I am a person with a loose atmosphere.
If you put your mind in a sucker, you might make that mistake.
“You say you don’t understand the contents of the letter itself…”
“Eh, if I become stronger with swordsmanship. It was a knight’s determination to always protect the artist who draws such good works in close combat…!”
The strange sound of dedicating one’s life sounds very plausible when you hear it like that.
It’s a bit strange to come to the conclusion that he will protect her as a knight because of the manga in the first place, but compared to the contents of the letter, there was no separate fairy.
He wasn’t a stalker, he was just a poor person with poor expressions.
“This is also meant to be, would you like to have lunch together?”
“Uh… Well, that’s right.”
She had no reason to refuse.
Honestly, after the misunderstanding was resolved, I became a little curious as to why he wrote such a letter.
“Ah, the letter. It’s long to explain… First of all, the story of ‘An elf who dreams of having an affair with an orc is still frustrating’ is very similar to my parents’ story, right?”
You say you look alike…?
Are you saying that a family with such a setting actually exists in this world?
