Chapter 83 – 6-Academy (21)
The place where I arrived after being dragged by Rubel was a classroom.
The scenery of the classroom was astounding, except that the main material was wood.
On the desk, letters from books floated up, all kinds of magic tools were equipped, and on the blackboard, video recording tools were shining brightly and outputting images.
It was literally like a training room for a magic class that teaches magic.
And seeing a classroom proving that magic has developed to a level comparable to science reminded me of what my friend had said.
Normally, when I saw the damn setting of my friend, I often grumbled and cursed, but today I thought deeply about my strangely depressed mood.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” A friend of mine who overheard a man named Arthur C. Clark who said, said to me:
“‘If science develops, it will become similar to magic… So, if magic develops, it will become similar to science!’ La… And the world where that thought actually came true…”
I giggled as I recalled one of my goddamn friend’s settings.
In fact, the existence of ‘me’ in my previous life was not very pleasant.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with the appearance or that the family is poor or anything like that.
However, because of the peculiarity of my appearance, I did not remember being so pleasant in my previous life.
It is probably because of my good looks and the irritating incident that led me to become a teaching assistant.
And to me like that, the only woman I could trust and be with was my fucking friend.
After reincarnating, I just tried to forget, but every time I saw traces of him melted into this world, I got annoyed.
And today, strangely and abnormally, I became even more irritable.
But past life is past life and now is now.
I made up my mind and moved away from Rubel and sat down in one of the empty seats inside the classroom.
Even now, my heart was strangely agitated, but I forced myself to calm it down.
The eyes of the students gathered around me, but it was too much trouble to pay attention to each one of them.
As I sat down thinking that, Rubel slowly approached me and made a surprised face when he saw me.
`Why are you here?`
“Eh… Eh!? Sweat is flowing from your eyes!”
`Ha? What a strange noise that is…’
Seeing her suddenly say something incomprehensible, I frowned and put my hands on her eyes, and only then did I know that tears were flowing from my eyes.
And at this, my eyes were strongly furrowed.
“Haa… Annoying!”
I gritted my teeth while wiping the tears from my eyes at the sight of my goddamn mind flowing with tears once saying I had a gloomy thought.
I am not fragile. I am not fragile. I am strong I am strong!!!
“Huuuuu… It looks like there’s dust in my eyes. Thanks for letting me know.”
When I smiled again and said, Rubel smiled happily and sat down next to me.
And Ruri didn’t see her, it seemed like she was trying to take another class.
As I drove away the weak heart in my heart, I heard the voice of Darkness from the sword wrapped around my waist.
[…You… Just that… No, more than that, you also have a scar in your heart a]
There was a deep pity and concern in his voice that was jarring.
“Whoa…It’s nothing special, so don’t talk like that…”
As I spoke with a low growl, Darkness’s voice from the sword changed again and spoke to me.
Yes this is it
Darkness only had to act like a shameless sword spirit.
More than this… Worry and pity are all meaningless to me.
[Yes… I get it. Well, your work is not my part-time job! Please make my body properly later!]
I looked at the blackboard as I forcibly raised my tension, which was down to the point where I felt uncomfortable today, at the voice of her brazenly shouting as always.
At the blackboard, a teacher, probably the homeroom teacher for this class, was walking towards them.
And the teacher was a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard.
The teacher walked out to her blackboard and started introducing herself while looking at us.
“Kuhmm… How are you! My name is Pierre, and I’m the teacher who will be in charge of the basics of the magic class from today!”
The magic class is basically divided into Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, and in addition to these, there are various departments such as practical combat and theory research.
And the Basic Department literally teaches the basics of magic, and usually only commoners who have not learned magic or children of noble families from knights who do not teach magic take this class.
Of course, I, who have no intention of using magic, and Rubel, the archmage, have no reason to attend such a class.
She said it as if she was embarrassed by looking at us, as if the teacher knew it.
“By the way… Don’t Artel-sama and Rubel-sama really need to take this class?”
At the teacher’s words, the eyes of the students rushed to us, and I solved it lightly by frowning and talking before Rubel started acting again.
“It’s a matter for me to take care of, so let’s start class quickly.”
When I said it a little high-handedly, the teacher immediately started her lesson, breaking out in a cold sweat from her head.
The teacher began to explain her, moving the images on the blackboard around.
At the same time, the highly developed magic of the books on the desk automatically unfolding according to the video was amazing.
While I looked at the desk and the blackboard in such a curious way, the teacher groaned and loosened her throat, and she started talking.
“Then, let’s start with the overview of magic today.”
Along with the teacher’s words, a crown appeared on the blackboard along with the word ancient.
“First of all, it is unknown when magic was first created. When and how it was created is still a question of mankind, and at present it is presumed that the origin of magic, primitive magic, was the instinct to accidentally create sparks and manipulate the wind!”
Following the teacher’s words, a brief explanation of primitive magic followed on the blackboard.
It was made by relying on the senses of a few geniuses, not calculations like today, and the technology that was called a miracle in ancient times is assumed to be primitive magic.
“It’s primitive magic…”
“Ancient magic is stronger than primitive magic!”
As I was thinking of primitive magic, Rubel looked at me while saying something unsolicited, and I ignored his gaze.
That’s how I matched the explanation of primitive magic, and this time I started a different explanation.
“First of all, the person who created the systematic magic laws based on current calculations is Klaus, the originator of magic and also called the King of Magic. He collected, organized, and researched the primitive magic that existed at the time and created it!”
The teacher’s speaking skills weren’t that great, but that didn’t mean I didn’t understand, so I just sat there.
“Ancient magic was born when primitive magic was organized like that. Ancient magic was only created by the magic king’s hand, and the golden magic, which was said to be powerful among ancient magic, is now in a state of extinction.”
Saying that, the teacher sparked a spark in his hand, and when the eyes of the students gathered, the teacher chuckled.
“The principle of magic currently being used can be explained simply. It is to control the mana, which is the energy within one’s body, and to apply calculations to that mana! “
Saying so, the teacher said while using magic.
“Incantation is the most basic way to apply calculations to magical power! So, the most important thing in magic is that magical power is also magical, but it is an arithmetic formula! In other words, memorize and master the chant perfectly.”
Of course, the most important thing in current magic is calculation.
Without arithmetic, magic could not be handled.
That’s why wizards are usually smart, and the number of wizards themselves is inevitably small.
“I can use magic without doing arithmetic!”
In the midst of this, Rubel stood up from his seat and shouted proudly, and the teacher continued to explain with a chuckle.
“Of course, there are those who can use magic without arithmetic. Archmages and high-level wizards can use the skill of Martial Spear, and Rubel is the highest authority in that realm, and can handle up to 5 high-level magic with Martial Spear at the same time.”
At the teacher’s words, the eyes of the students gathered on Rubel, and while Rubel was flattered, the teacher continued, saying, ‘But-!’
“Among wizards, there exists a different kind. The so-called geniuses who use magic purely through their senses without memorizing chanting, so probably all wizards will hate such a guy.”
Saying that, as he grinned, Rubel also started gnashing his teeth as if he had remembered someone.
Apparently, it reminded me of Rubel’s biggest rival, Karen, who appears in the original work.
She said, `She was obviously a woman who hit and used magic with her senses, unlike Rubel, she was not a windowless window, right?`
Even though she is the archmage who is the highest authority among magic towers and wizards, she is the only one who can stand up to Rubel. That is a wizard named Karen.
She especially remembers that her personality was serious, unlike Rubel’s, and her courtesy was also there.
Meanwhile, Rubel was seriously rampaging.
“Aaaaa! I’m stronger than Karen!”
Munch! Munch!
“Wowwak! Now… Wait a minute!”
Rubel’s huge wand excitedly slapped the teacher’s cheek.
It looked quite painful just by looking at it, and in reality, bruises started to form on the cheeks, but this was a problem with the teacher who provoked it, so I just left the classroom without any help.
