Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 19 - First Lesson (5)

"What's? He'll shorten the time for magic techniques?"

"Is that possible?"

"Didn't he lie?"

Unlike the first years, which were unfamiliar with spells, the second years doubted what Ludger said.

Before teaching the basics of magic in his first class, he would show them how to cast spells faster.

They had no choice but to doubt it.

The speed of casting spells had always been considered a top priority for magicians.

One second is a lot of time in a life or death battle.

Moreover, unlike knights who moved their bodies in real time and wielded swords, the sense of danger was much more acute for magicians who took the time to cast their spells.

Due to the development of science, witches were less exposed to danger than before, but the danger had not completely disappeared.

Since they were magicians who had to always think clearly and rationally, they had no choice but to focus more on speed.

"Flora, is what he said true?" Cheryl asked Flora, her best friend.

"Well, I don't know. Have we ever been taught the right way to shorten magic techniques?"

There must be a way to reduce the time to cast a spell.

A representative example is the mantra scroll, which is demonstrated by storing the mantra that is in the media first.

However, in that case, there was a limit that the spell could only be used once.

Once you use the spell, the scroll will lose its effect.

Alternatively, you can also use a spell called Memory Reverberation that casts the spell first and stores it.

Even in that case, it was impossible to continue using the incantation, and the maximum amount of stock that could be accumulated was set according to the magician's skill level.

"I don't think that's possible unless you change the structure of the spell technique itself."

After all, in order to shorten the casting time, the basic technique of the spell had to be improved, and even that was impossible.

The spell was a commonly used spell that was an accumulation of thousands of years of history where witches continued to refine, design, and direct it to that moment.

For some, it might just be a third level fire element spell, but behind that spell were the work of many geniuses throughout history.

No matter how genius one was at the moment, they would not be able to improve the existing spells in a better way.

Because it was so perfect that there was no way to fix it.

That was already a fact that ended over a hundred years ago.

It is also recognized by Flora Lumos.

'But if he had to change it, he would have to lose something in his spell because there must be something he could trade.'

If the speed of the spell casting technique increased rapidly, other areas would definitely weaken.

Less power, less range, or less accuracy.

However, if he were to reduce the element of the spell, could they see it as an established spell?

No. gabe.

From then on, it would be a completely separate spell.

If witches who greatly appreciated the legitimacy saw it, their mouths would foam.

'If that's what you mean by reducing the casting time...'

Flora's eyes narrowed.

'They will be very disappointed. Professors.'

No. gabe. Flora would rather see Ludger do that.

Only then would it be easier for him to bite her.

'I think our great Princess feels the same way too.'

The third princess, who had hair like a tangle of golden threads, showed off a different beauty from her.

Unlike Flora, Ludger's remarks would definitely bother her as well, who was frank and confident.

As if wanting to prove it, the princess's face was cold as well.

Once the atmosphere in the classroom began to flow strangely…

Ludger clapped his hands to stir up the atmosphere.

"Stop. That's all for chat."

All the students were silent, but the atmosphere itself did not change.

Ludger grinned and spoke as if he was unaware of the atmosphere.

"It seems you have a lot of questions. Goody. Before I show you, I'll ask you a few simple questions."

At that moment, the students raised their hands.

Ludger pointed at the student who most quickly raised a hand.

"Speak."

"My name is Alex Salain, a second-year student. Professor, you said that you'd speed up the time of casting the spell, but what exactly do you mean?"

"Shorten the time to cast a spell, as I said. More precisely if you want to ask questions. Next."

"I'm a second-year student, Dahlia. If you shorten the time of the spell-shipping technique, do you mean you changed the spell?"

"It's not like that. I'm keeping the spell, but I'm just gonna shorten the casting time."

A loud noise was heard from all over the class.

"Oh, really? He's really going to shorten the spell technique?"

"That's impossible. Isn't that a challenge that no magician can overcome?"

“It doesn't make sense. There can't be such a method.”

Flora thought the same thing. 'He will shorten the chanting of spells without changing or improving his technique?'

'Don't say it's as obvious as improving our skills by doing it over and over again.' But seeing the confident expression on Ludger's face, he somehow felt annoyed.

"That's impossible."

Flora could not help herself and spoke.

Ludger's cold gaze led to him. Flora's pride was slightly hurt by the look in her eyes that seemed to ask who she really was.

"I'm Flora Lumos."

His self-introduction raised rumors around him.

"It's Flora. Flora spoke up."

"Ha ha's. The professor is done too."

Flora is also famous among students. It was the same for the new students who had just entered the academy.

Second-class genius. He was already famous in his first years, as he maintained his nickname as a genius in the Soeren.

It was natural for all students to notice him because he had a different view of Ludger's method from the first day of class.

"I don't remember letting you ask me, but this time I let it go. Yep. What is impossible you're talking about?"

"Of course, I'm talking about shortening the timing of the spell-shipping technique. To speed up the spell-shipping technique without changing it and give any improvement to his spell.there was no other way but to do it quickly through repeated proficiency."

"Why do you think there's no other way?"

"Because no one's ever done it until now. Even geniuses whose names are remembered in history and high-ranking archmages are incapable of doing that, but I can't believe you'll do it."

Even so, the countless magicians in the magic tower racked their brains every day to continue conducting research for the sake of new knowledge.

Nevertheless, unlike in the past, there are areas where progress is no longer made, and shortening the timing of spell-talking is a representative example.

Said that a new professor could do it, no matter how he became a professor at the Soeren Academy…

More than bluffing, it would most likely be an overall humiliation to the magical academic world.

whiskey.whisper.

Each student nodded in agreement with Flora's words.

None of the students believed in Ludger or supported him.

Little by little, the class atmosphere became hostile to Ludger.

But Ludger didn't even blink an eye.

He did not waver, as if no external pressure could scratch him.

“'They can't do that' you said. That's an interesting thing to say. I see it differently. I think they're kind of trying not to make any repairs."

"I'm sorry?"

"Magic values tradition and the lecturers, but becomes stagnant at some point. Now that science has advanced, magic is under threat."

"… Are you saying that science is superior to magic?"

"In many things. I just think that magic, like science, has room for further development. 'No room for improvement' is wrong."

"It's never happened before."

"Because no one dared to try to do it."

"Everybody who fails."

"… Are you serious?"

"There's no reason for me to lie in front of everyone like this."

Flora was overwhelmed by her brash self-confidence.

'Does the professor not know what he is talking about?'

"Well, I don't think you understand now, so let's continue the lesson. You said you were Flora, right? Do you know on average how long it will take to compile the formula for the Fluttering Flame that I wrote on the magic board?"

"...It depends on who built it. Ten seconds for the magician who had just reached the third rank. If you get used to it and the ratings go up, it'll be shorter than five seconds."

“Yes, but I don't accept a lousy way to increase the ratings to shorten the spell-shipping. What I'm saying is that it's tailored to the level of the students who are taking my class right now."

"Then five seconds at the fastest."

"Are you referring to yourself?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hoo, that's very confident. Then can you show it yourself? Stand on the podium."

Flora was not intimidated by those very provocative words.

"certain."

Flora stepped down from her seat and stood on the podium with a confident step. He raised his staff and immediately took out the Fluttering Flame.

Casting its foundation, its property elements are fire, then heating, combustion, compression, expansion, diffusion, and acceleration.

Rise into the air was a spell technique from a burning flame.

It was a neat and efficient spell casting technique.

His speed was like a raging wind, and the students watching were instantly amazed.

'As expected of the genius of Soeren. As expected of the Lumos family princess.'

Flora looked back at Ludger with an expression that seemed to say, 'How was that?'.

Ludger examined the gold pocket watch in his hand.

"It took you 4.78 seconds to throw it. It's a speed that doesn't look like a sophomore. The process is also perfect."

"That's nothing."

"But it's still slow."

It was Ludger's cold voice reprimanding Flora, who was trying to boast.

"...Pardon?"

"Among the third level mages, the fastest time to perform the Fluttering Flame was 4.41 seconds. Nothing is faster than that. Still slow."

"...I can do it faster once I get used to it."

"I say that even 4.41 seconds is slow."

'Is he serious?'

Everyone was stunned by Ludger's extremely confident statement.

Ludger decided to show it himself after saying that.

Standing on the podium, Ludger began to focus on where.

"Take a good look, this is how you take out the Fluttering Flame."

While muttering like that, he raised a small stick and pointed it into the air.

The mana from the end of the stick immediately began to form a spell.

… But something is strange.

After the basic casting spell technique, it was not the heating and burning stage that had to be done to form Fluttering Flame.

It was just a very natural flow of mana with an unknown meaning or intention made from a straight beam.

Didn't he take out the Fluttering Flame?

That's when students think so …

That the Flame Fluttering Spell had been completed in midair.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

“…!!!”

The entire classroom was filled with silent screams.

No one missed it. Because first of all, Ludger slowly showed how he cast his spell so that everyone could see it.

Originally it was not the Fluttering Flame technique.

His mana operation was completely different than usual…

But the results are identical.

The finished spell was Fluttering Flame. The result is perfect enough to look exactly like the one in the textbook.

'How can it be?'

Only the initial and final processes are there, but the middle processes seem to have been cut and removed.

It was as if he was throwing stones carelessly behind his back, but his accuracy was no different from him deliberately shooting an arrow forward.

Even the speed is very fast.

One sec? No. gabe. It didn't even take 0.3 seconds.

It was completely incomprehensible to the common sense of the students.

"Did you see that?"

And the voice of Ludger, who had just reached an unreasonable achievement, was neither high nor low.

As if it was the obvious thing.

He was not the slightest bit interested in how great the spell-shipping he had just done was.

"W-what was that?"

"I'll show it once more to those who haven't seen it."

Ludger said so as he broke the existing formula and repeated the process.

It was slower then, so everyone could see it properly.

The students stared at Ludger's spell casting technique with their eyes wide open if they missed something.

Mana was fired at the end of the stick, and it was running in a strange way again like the first time.

And soon, Fluttering Flame was completed.

"K-mad."

"Is that possible?"

"I don't know even if I see her again."

It wasn't an artifact, It wasn't a spell from Memory Reverberation, and its application wasn't that fast either.

The process should be there, no matter how fast it is.

… But he missed the whole process and just showed the results.

Someone should pull the bowstring, then release the arrow, make the arrow fly and hit the target all there is a cause.

The same goes for magic. They were supposed to show such a flow as they performed a spell...

But Ludger's method is not at all like that.

He eliminated the process of losing arrows and flying them, but the result was the same.

"No, what have you just ..."

Even Flora, who had been watching it from a nearby place without missing a single thing, did not understand the method Ludger had just shown.

No, no one who came there and saw him would understand right away.

Magical? A new? Innovative? Those words swirled in his mind.

"Finally, everyone's eyes changed."

Gulp down.

The sound of someone swallowing saliva echoed throughout the room. The students were so focused on what Ludger would say next.

"The fluttering fire I just threw had a speed of 0.24 seconds. This is very different from the old recordings. But at the same time, you'd think it was weird. Because the first spell technique was not Fluttering Fire."

Yeah, that's that part.

He used a completely different technique, and the result was what he was aiming for.

It makes no sense according to common knowledge.

"I must have used a spell technique. To be exact, I used a spell technique to cast another spell."

"Spiral technique for chanting... Other spells?"

"What the fuck?"

The muttering students shut their mouths again.

"I call it Source Code."
