Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy (Web Novel) - Chapter 747
Chapter 747
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Unaware of his seniors suffering, the heartless junior threw out a question.-But senior. I have something to ask about magic development and 5th circle magic.
Lee Han explained what he had experienced earlier.
That insane doppelganger had cursed at him to learn 5th circle magic, then suddenly told him to create a telekinesis shield spell.
Of course, this telekinesis shield spell itself could be 5th circle.
But every choice of an Archmage contained meaning in even the smallest details.
Even if it was an insane doppelganger, since it was still an Archmage, he couldnt overlook that.
Why did the insane doppelganger tell him to create a telekinesis shield spell instead of the many other 5th circle spells?
-You cast a telekinesis shield spell without incantation??
-Senior. Thats not whats important right now. Im in big trouble if I cant learn it within a day.
-Ri, right.
Diret was about to write If thats not important, then what is but came to his senses at his juniors response.
Certainly, that wasnt what was important right now.
His 2nd year junior had cast a telekinesis shield spell without incantation that he hadnt even learned, but whats so amazing about this
Ill have to ask when I get back later.
Diret couldnt help but make a note.
No matter how he thought about it, it was too surprising.
-I understand what the insane doppelganger is thinking.
-Really?!
Though he had asked the question, Lee Han was startled when his senior immediately gave a direct answer.
As expected, from 5th year onwards, do students become more similar to Archmages?!
-Generally, from 5th circle magic onwards, theres a significant jump in difficulty. Miniature worlds also start from here Junior, do you know what a magic parrot is?
-Whats that? Is it a rare animal?
-Hmm. You havent heard of it yet.
Magic parrot was one of the things students usually heard frequently from the Skeleton Principal around 3rd year.
-Are you not a mage but a magic parrot?! You should think for yourself and use magic, if you only know how to memorize learned magic like a parrot, youre not qualified to be a mage!
So it wasnt a rare animal.
Lee Han felt slightly disappointed inside at Direts explanation.
He had wondered if there was a parrot that helped with magic
-Below 4th circle, you can just use magic youve learned and memorized. But from 5th circle onwards, gradually you need to understand.
-I dont quite get it. Senior. Magic below 4th circle also requires understanding, doesnt it.
-Right. Thats true. But that understanding isnt complete understanding. Junior. Why cant a mage who has learned Flame Arrow use Flame Spear? What about Flame Shield or Flame Whip, Flame Wall?
Lee Han was amazed by Direts words.
It was certainly true.
Since the fundamental principles were similar, the moment a mage learned Flame Arrow, that mage should have been able to use Flame Spear as well.
But Lee Han and his friends couldnt do that.
Why was that?
-In the end, even if you understand fragmentary parts, complete understanding of the whole is lacking. The Principal calls the enlightenment needed for this sudden enlightenment but thats not important. Anyway, when you achieve this kind of complete understanding, its a very narrow domain, but within that domain, a mage can cast magic almost as they wish. As I mentioned above, you can use Flame Shield and various other spells on the spot even without learning or researching them.
Miniature world!
Lee Han instinctively recalled what the Skeleton Principal had said.
Hadnt he tormented people so much, telling them to learn 5th circle magic in order to master miniature worlds?
Hearing Direts words, he seemed to understand why those two things were connected.
To learn 5th circle magic, much deeper understanding than before was needed, and that understanding became the foundation leading to miniature worlds.
How vast an understanding would be needed to change the world according to ones will?
-So to even begin with miniature world magic, you need to learn 5th circle spells!
-Junior. Youre right, but miniature worlds arent whats important right now. Your life is on the line and youre getting distracted by other magic?
-Im sorry.
Lee Han apologized at Direts criticism.
Thinking about it, miniature worlds werent really important right now.
-So junior. Based on you, where would such understanding be easiest?
-I think it would probably be form transformation of water or lightning elements. Ive tried all sorts of various attempts with water elements, and while lightning elements are still lacking, quite
-Actually, I was going to say telekinesis.
Diret felt slightly awkward at his juniors response.
Actually, neither Direts nor the insane doppelgangers judgment was wrong.
First of all, telekinesis suited Lee Han well with his abundant mana.
Among various elements, it had the highest pure mana consumption.
It wasnt for nothing that mages implemented magic through other methods instead of casting complex spells with telekinesis.
Moreover, since it had to be cast purely with the mages mind without borrowing the power of other elements abundant in nature, it was high in both mana cost and difficulty.
But for some people, these disadvantages of telekinesis could work as advantages.
For a mage who poured out mana lavishly and wielded it boldly without delicate control
If he could unconsciously summon a telekinesis shield, it should be considered already quite internalized.
It seems like that because of all the harsh training last year.
Diret recalled the magic training his junior had undergone last year.
Especially, he suspected that the training by a certain professor who had only one disciple had indirectly influenced such internalization.
-Telekinesis, you mean?
-You cast it without incantation right away.
-Ah. I did. Actually, was I compatible with telekinesis rather than water or lightning?
-Maybe so
Telekinesis didnt have compatibility like elements such as water or lightning, but Diret agreed to encourage his junior.
-Anyway junior. Telling you to create such a telekinesis shield spell seems to mean you should greatly understand telekinesis.
The telekinesis magic Lee Han frequently used now was at most Low-Level Control.
But if he researched the shield spell he had unconsciously used this time and completely understood the domain related to that spell, even if narrowly?
It wouldnt just end with one 5th circle spell but would be equivalent to learning dozens of lower spells together.
-I understand. Senior. Then what I need to understand here is
-First incantationless casting. Regarding telekinesis, you should be able to cast without incantation.
-Incantationless casting
-And compression.
-Compression?
-Its not just about using mana and concentration to summon telekinesis and stopping there, but layering and combining telekiesis to strengthen it. Thats how you can freely increase the output.
To deliver a certain amount of weight or impact with telekinesis, one had to understand the compression attribute as well.
Since he had so persistently delved into rotation when learning water magic, this wasnt completely new information.
-Compression But Senior. How did you know that the principle of compression was incorporated into my shield magic?
-Compression is essential if you want to block that level of attack with telekinesis alone. Next is naturally shape transformation. You know this without me saying it, right?
-Yes.
-Multiple control.
-Why multiple control?
-You cast it instantly. If you had to focus on just one shield, you couldnt do that. You have to be able to summon the shield while simultaneously splitting your consciousness to do other things.
-Multiple control
Lee Han cursed his past self as he organized his thoughts.
Why had he unconsciously used such complex magic when he could have just taken one hit?
Still, Im fortunate that there are several things Ive tried before.
After that, Diret organized several more aspects for him.
-Thats roughly it, Junior.
-Yes?
-Never mind. Youll be able to do it. Ask if theres anything you dont understand.
-Thank you. Ill make it work.
Diret closed the artifact and immediately prepared to send a paper bird to Yukveltire.
No matter how he thought about it, this was absolutely impossible to accomplish within a day.
***
Falkrious of the Kitchen Club was climbing the mountain range with his underclassmen.
Though Falkrious usually smiled a lot, today he only frowned and glared at distant places.
This is ominous.
Whats wrong, Senior?
Magic is spread everywhere.
Even though they hadnt approached closely yet, he could feel powerful magical energy from several mountain peaks.
This wasnt at a level that giants or Mountain Destroyers could manage.
A much more powerful being had definitely descended upon Einroguard.
Come to think of it, I heard this rumor.
What rumor?
That the Principals Insane Doppelganger is wandering around Einroguard.
Hmm!
Falkrious fell into thought with a cautious expression.
Though there were many false rumors at Einroguard, occasionally some rumors contained truth.
And the magic felt from those mountain peaks made the rumor he just heard seem like truth.
That cant be right, can it?
Haha. Thats not the Principals Insane Doppelganger. At most, it would be some monster that crossed over from another dimension.
Phew. If its just that level
The Kitchen Club students felt slightly relieved.
Though monsters from other dimensions were also fearsome beings, they seemed much better compared to the Skeleton Principals Insane Doppelganger.
If were going to rescue him, we need to do it quickly.
Falkrious thought to himself.
If it really was an Insane Doppelganger, they had to rescue him as quickly as possible.
Right now the other underclassmen were enthusiastic, but he wasnt confident they wouldnt run away after seeing an Insane Doppelganger.
But what on earth was Wardanaz doing to get kidnapped by the Principals Insane Doppelganger?
-What business do students have here?
!!!
The Kitchen Club students were startled by the voice that rang out loudly from above their heads.
There werent many beings that could speak to them in this manner.
Its a giant!
Lord Ikurusha. We have no intention of stealing sheep, nor any intention of stealing milk or cheese. Weve brought tribute here, so please forgive us!
Falkrious, like a seasoned senior, quickly offered the tribute they had brought and distanced himself with his underclassmen.
Ikurusha was one of the more reasonable giants to communicate with, but even so, a giant was still a giant.
If he became displeased or threw a tantrum, they had to run immediately.
-Tribute Hmm Not bad. Its rare for students to climb up here. What brings you?
One of our underclassmen got lost, so we came to find him.
-Oh my.
Ikurusha made a sound like thunder clicking his tongue.
-Thats troublesome. Ill gladly accept the gift.
Yes. Thank you.
Senior. Cant we ask if hes seen Wardanaz?
No. We might only provoke anger by making unnecessary contact.
-Wardanaz?
!
Falkrious tensed up.
Ikurusha, who he thought was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and showed interest.
Is there some problem, Lord Ikurusha?
-I think I heard Wardanaz.
Hes the underclassman who got lost.
-Is that really true?!
Ikurusha was amazed.
And the Kitchen Club members were amazed too.
Why is he acting like that?
Im not sure
Yes. May we go look for him now?
-No. Wait a moment.
Falkrious began to consider whether he should subdue the giant before him.
The atmosphere was turning ominous.
Boooooooo-
Ikurusha blew the horn hanging around his neck for a long time.
Then from far away, with sounds that shook heaven and earth, giants came rushing over bringing Mountain Destroyers with them.
The Kitchen Club members were on the verge of collapsing from fear and tension. Falkrious was bewildered, unable to understand the situation.
Are the giants planning to hold a feast or something?
-That human boy has disappeared.
-Wardanaz! Wardanaz is lost in the mountain range!!
-We must rescue him quickly! He might starve to death!
-Thats probably not No. Right. He might starve to death, so lets find him quickly.
At Ikurushas words, tears welled up in the giants eyes.
-Lets find him quickly!
-You mage! Help us!
Yes? Yes! Yes!!
