Chapter 280:
The Circle of Circulation Caused by Wrong Questions.
It was a nightmare for the foresight wizard.
And the best way to prepare for a situation like this is…
‘Not stepping into the situation itself.’
It’s a bit silly, but this is the correct answer.
It is not about attempting prediction magic out of the blue, but recognizing and responding to the pitfalls contained in the question.
I didn’t even want freshmen to advanced technology that allowed them to escape from the cycle by leaving a mark in their foreknowledge that only they could recognize, or forcibly shift the point of their foreknowledge to a farther future or further forward.
Just for noticing and responding to the pitfalls in the questions deserved high praise.
On the other hand, the worst reaction was to try the Foresight Magic.
Since the freshman jumped into the trap question in an unprepared situation, he fell into a loop of circulation and struggled until his magic power ran out, and he had no choice but to faint.
It was obviously like that…
Lee Han casually waved his staff and tried the foresight magic again and again.
Even Professor Passelet couldn’t figure out what was going on at the moment.
‘how…?’
* * *
Not noticing that the professor was giving him a puzzled look in front of him, Lee Han cast the Foresight Magic once again.
But the future was not in sight.
Seeing nothing in front of him, Lee Han tilted his head and canceled the magic.
It was a natural escape, like breathing.
Of course, a lot of mana was consumed in the process, but it had no effect on Lee Han.
‘Wasn’t it a matter of approaching it this way?’
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
“!”
Lee Han listened to the painful groans from the side.
Because the professor had put up an illusion curtain, I couldn’t see my friends, but I could hear them.
No matter how much I listened to this sound, it was a painful sound that I only heard when magic failed greatly.
“Keuk.”
“Keew.”
dump!
It didn’t end with a painful groan, but even the sound of falling to the floor.
Thanks to Professor Voladi’s rigorous training, Lee Han was able to use his other five senses to grasp the situation even if his vision was blocked.
Seeing that there was a dragging sound and there was no more moaning
…
Lee Han did not understand.
Of course, it wasn’t an easy problem, but it wasn’t Professor Voladi’s test, and it wasn’t to the point of collapsing.
‘No way…’
Lee Han quickly grasped the situation.
It seems that the problem with this prediction magic was not a simple test, but a problem of identifying the traps inside.
If I didn’t grasp the trap and jumped at it, I could collapse like the friends who were dragged out now.
…although Lee Han has already tried it a few times!
‘I was lucky. It must have been able to withstand it because it had a lot of magical power.’
Lee Han stroked his chest.
Considering the mana consumed by the Foresight Magic, it was no wonder that the other friends had fallen.
Now I had to approach it a little more carefully.
‘Did you notice?’
Professor Passelette raised an eyebrow as Yihan stopped the spell.
It was a beat late, but it was clear from his reaction that he understood the true meaning of this test.
‘okay. The foresight magic now stops and points out the pitfalls of this test… No!’
Lee Han cast the Foresight Magic again.
Professor Passelette was more perplexed than before.
why!?
I realized it was a trap, so why would he do that?
‘Coming to think of it, I don’t need to spare my attempts.’
The reason Lee Han cast the Foresight Magic again was simple.
Come to think of it, I didn’t need to approach it carefully.
Because the magic power is overflowing!
As Lee Han continued to cast his Foresight Magic, he pondered over how to break through this cycle.
Actually, it was okay to worry about it without casting the Foresight Magic, but Lee Han naturally repeated the attempt, saying that he would have some magic left.
Only then did Professor Passelette, who realized the situation, laugh out loud.
‘What such ignorant…’
It’s nice to know that the problem is weird, but then you have to approach it in a different way, trying to break through by force.
What does that mean?
“professor. I think I have found the answer.”
“!”
Lee Han, who kept trying, finally opened his mouth.
Professor Passelette was astonished, but prepared to hear an answer.
“Let me tell you.”
“I think the answer is to find the pitfalls in the problem. Questions like that should not be recklessly attempted.”
“That is correct.”
Professor Passelette nodded.
That was a good answer.
The question is…
‘Then why did you keep casting the Foresight Magic?’
Originally, I should have answered right away when I realized it earlier, but after that, I couldn’t help but wonder as I continued to cast the Foresight Magic before answering.
In the end, Professor Passelet couldn’t overcome his curiosity and asked a question.
“But how did you find out the answer? Is it a logical guess?”
“I made logical guesses… but I used foreknowledge magic.”
“So how?”
Professor Passelette’s voice, slightly frustrated, became rough.
“I thought it would be difficult to find an answer with the given question, so I set the point of view farther into the future. I figured out the answer by predicting the point after the exam was over.”
“……”
Professor Passelet was at a loss for words for a moment.
I really didn’t know that I would have done it that way.
Escape from the ring of circulation, or seeing a future farther than the ring of circulation and recognizing it as clues were methods, but
that wasn’t the ability expected of a freshman. No matter how talented he was, this didn’t make sense.
As time passed, the uncertainty of prediction increased.
Moreover, since it is a future that has nothing to do with the question, it was not usually difficult to find the clue and find the answer to the question.
It’s a skill that only a seasoned wizard can do…
‘No way…!’
Professor Passelet realized.
Even after Lee Han realized it, why did he use the Foresight Magic so continuously?
“Could it be that you continued casting the Foresight Magic until you got an answer?”
“That’s right.”
When Lee Han-eun recognized the method he had used, he replied with a look of pure admiration.
Also, I wasn’t a professor for nothing.
How did Lee Han find out the answer after having several conversations?
“……”
Professor Passelette felt like his head was spinning as to where and how to teach this nonsense student.
Well, this nonsense…
The fact that the person in question stayed still with an innocent expression saying, ‘Is there anything wrong?’ made the headache stronger.
“Huh… well done. Well done… I think I have a few more things to learn.”
“ah. Is that so.”
“Next week…”
“Next week is vacation.”
Lee Han suddenly felt ominous.
You’re not going to tell me to go to magic school during vacation, are you?
‘If you say something like that, I might really have to send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor.’
“…Then next semester.”
“ah. yes. That’s about it.”
“I must come out.”
“yes. All right.”
“I must come out. Got it? I swear once more sincerely.”
“……”
Professor Passelette didn’t notice, but Lee Han’s eyes were strangely changing as he looked at the professor.
‘Don’t you have any disciples?’
The Mortum Church, or the professors with few disciples, were very sensitive to the escape of the new disciples.
When a student decides not to listen at the beginning of a new semester, there is actually not much a professor can do.
Of course, he could use various threats and persuasion, but once a wizard hardened his mind, he would not be shaken so easily.
It was okay for professors with a lot of disciples to show a relaxed attitude like ‘if you don’t want to listen, I don’t care’, but professors with few students really did that or no one would listen.
Of course, sometimes there were professors who sat proudly in the classroom even without a single student, but that had to be seen as an exceptional case.
‘I’ll listen anyway, so I’ll have to be considerate.’
There was nothing wrong with being considerate of the professor’s position as long as he listened.
Lee Han said kindly.
“Do not worry. professor. Why won’t I come out?”
“Because I’ve already heard all the black magic summoning magic fantasy enchantment magic transformation magic healing magic.”
Lee Han was speechless.
Indeed, like an excellent foresight wizard, he was very sharp.
‘You’re definitely right!’
* * *
Diret held back his drowsiness and swung his staff.
Soon, he had to fully prepare for the juniors taking the final exams for black magic.
Koholti, a classmate in the same grade, also wielded a cane.
“Are you done?”
“It’s done. But isn’t the number of bones too few? Shouldn’t you bring more? I think the bottle of poison is a little less.”
“it’s okay. This time, there were not even five new students learning black magic.”
“……”
At Diret’s answer, Koholti put on a complicated expression.
It wasn’t necessary to have a lot of juniors, but if there were too few juniors in the magic he was learning, it just felt complicated.
“Why is everyone not interested in black magic?”
“Isn’t it because I summoned the King of the Frost Giants in the hallway the other day?”
“That was a matter of an artifact that had nothing to do with black magic!”
Koholti blushed.
Of course, Diret knew all too well why black magic was unpopular.
‘If it’s popular, that’s strange.’
If Diret sees an article like < The increasing number of young black magicians... Is the black magic empire leading the fashion trend? > in the imperial newspaper, he will think, ‘Is the empire going to collapse?’
It’s just that all aspects of magic aren’t going to be popular…
“Oh. come in.”
As the first year students entered one by one, the fourth year students hurriedly avoided the classroom.
It was a place where the magic circle of cognitive decline was hanging, and the first year juniors couldn’t see them.
“Ugh. Isn’t the difficulty too high?”
Koholti said that, perhaps because she was suddenly worried when she saw the juniors in the first year.
This black magic final exam was the sum total of what I learned in the first semester.
Cursed Poison Bone.
A test that checks all three basic skills.
If it was simple, it sounded simple, but originally, this kind of test is more difficult.
Since all three fields of black magic had to be hit with the regular method, there was no alternative if one was lacking.
“This will be fine. When we talked with the professor last time, we decided together, so why are you here now?”
“no… There are less than five people, so I’m afraid they’ll give you more…”
“……”
That was definitely true.
Direth was surprised that Koholti had made the right point.
Of course, I can’t change it now…
Tak-
The door opened and a student entered.
The student who came in threw curse magic at the scarecrows for curse magic and knocked them down, then threw a bone fragment on the desk to cast bone magic.
A storm of bones blew in the center of the spacious lecture hall, and scarecrows for bone magic were scattered around.
Kudang-dang-dang-tang!
A few seconds had passed since then.
Koholti watched with her eyes and mouth wide open, dumbfounded.
‘what???’
The freshman didn’t stop with that. Without stopping, he immediately brought poison from the air and poured it into the poison bottle.
The poison bottle, which reacted with the properly crafted poison, spewed smoke. The poison bottle, which emits thick smoke as it contains high-quality poison, spewed out so much smoke that it covered the entire classroom.
“You were too easy… was it easy? uh huh weird? The level of freshmen…?”
“No. Just one person is weird.”
Diret, who belatedly recognized the familiar face of his junior, replied calmly.
