Chapter 407 – Chapter 407. Conference Paper Presentation (4)

– This is the revolution before the wizard…
– Incredible inversion speed. In addition, the power of magic has been reduced.
– The next president will be Aiden.

“…”

Aiden ended his presentation with a smile.
Area development developed for the battle against the mage.
From the presentation to the demonstration, everything went perfectly according to plan.

‘This is enough.’

He showed everything he had prepared.
After solidifying the position of the next president with this announcement, it is only necessary to bring down the president Arthur.

“Aiden-nim, you’re amazing.”
“At this level, this year’s president’s award is a matter of course!”
“Thank you.”

As Aiden’s followers clapped their hands in celebration, Aiden checked his surroundings.
The other mages shrugged their shoulders, intimidated by the most overwhelming performance of all the announcements so far.
The expected result brought a smile, but it wasn’t them that bothered me.

“… Smile?”
“Yes? Sir Aiden. What did you say…”

– [The next announcement is a joint presentation by Mage Imsol and Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. Please come up to the podium.]

Even in the midst of everyone’s buzz, Lim Sol looks calm and Lee Ho-yeon smiles.
Aiden looked at the two and made a hard expression.

– Finally, is it Imsol?
– The president said he brought something great, so you can expect it.

Aiden sat down pretending nothing happened.
It has already been bought up to one elder.
Some excellent papers were able to reverse themselves.

‘….’

But after Im Sol’s announcement started.
Aiden involuntarily kept his mouth shut and began to focus on Imsol’s presentation.

*

“In other words, I can prove that all magic has a core technique. That’s it.”

Imsol calmly finished the presentation of the key technique.
I was honestly bored because I knew everything, but other wizards didn’t.

“Any questions?”
“…”
“…”

Everyone in the presentation was silent as if they had promised.
Not only the wizard who was watching the presentation, but also the presenter, who was presenting, looked into the air with their eyes blinking as if time had stopped.
How shocked were you that you did that?

Imsol looked around and, as if deciding that she had no questions, bowed her head and she went down the podium.
No, you can’t go down like this.

“Come here.”
“…?”

Clap clap clap-

I grabbed Im Sol and brought her to the center of the podium, clapped my hands and stepped forward to continue her words.

“Ah. That’s the end of Mage Imsol’s presentation. If you have any questions, please ask them now. There won’t be another opportunity.”
“Question, I have a question!”
“Something I don’t understand!”

It was only then that the wizards who realized what they had seen came to their senses one by one, and countless wizards raised their hands and started asking questions.

‘I wonder if it’s time for me to announce this.’

It’ll be night after that offensive.
I blankly watched Im Sol’s presentation and waited for the right moment to hang up and enter.

“Wait, can I ask you a question?”
“Yes.”
“I heard that he was a co-author with Cadet Lee Ho-yeon… It seems that only Wizard Imsol has been presenting since a while ago.”

Then, an older-looking wizard looked me over and asked a useless question.
I wanted to suck on honey, but in the end I got caught.

– Come to think of it, why is Im Sol only talking?
– Did you try to put the name of the disciple in the field that changes the history of magic….
– No way. Im Sol can’t be that kind of woman. She’s a witch crazy bitch.

“Ha….”

I sighed as I watched the buzzing wizards.
Good is good, why are you trying to make me work?

“No matter what anyone says, Mage Lee Ho-yeon was of great help in writing this thesis. Please do not ask unnecessary questions.”
“It’s not a useless question, it’s a simple curiosity. Like me, there are many wizards who expect from Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”
“…”

Imsol’s eyes slowly narrowed.
I have to step in before we fight.

“Wait a minute, Professor.”
“I’ll take care of it. I’m waiting.”
“No. You don’t have to deal with it. Rest.”

I sent Imsol behind me, who said scary things, and stood in front of the wizards.

“It’s my turn for the next presentation, so until then I’ll take questions. That’ll be all right, right?”
“… Then it is.”
“I will continue answering the question Professor Im Sol answered. Did you ask whether there is a key technique for unique magic? If you need to draw a magic circle in any type of magic, there is a key technique. As a basis for that, Bern Riemann’s Cosby Theorem…”

Actually, the answer to the question was annoying, but not difficult.
As soon as I heard Im Sol say that he could ask me a question, I checked all the related papers.
Even the wizards, who had doubts about my answer at first, started asking questions again after a few Q&A sessions.

How many tens of minutes have passed?
I sneakily checked my smart watch and continued.

“I won’t let the question get too long, so I’ll stop here.”

I’ve heard regretful voices, but it only annoys me when men say that.

I looked around and found someone.

‘There he is.’

Aiden, who was sitting in the corner with his followers, was glaring at him.
Im Sol’s announcement has long since been forgotten.
I can’t help but be angry

‘I’ll have to remind you again.’

I smiled at Aiden, looked straight ahead and continued.

“Next is the magic I’m going to present. Interestingly, there was someone at the conference today who conducted research on a topic similar to mine.”

Jiing-

He woke up his frowning body and lightly raised his mana.

“The magic I’m going to announce is… Secret anti-magic dictionary. Area expansion.”
“… What?”
“Isn’t it the magic that Aiden announced to expand the realm?”

After giving the wizards a moment to remember Aiden’s magic, which they had forgotten due to Imsol’s shock, they drew a magic circle.

‘Deployment of Macheongung.’

The wave of magic power spreading around the body created a thin film, which gradually grew and filled the platform.
My Macheongung has a basic form that the opponent cannot see, but I even copied the effect of flowing like water so that I could compare it to Aiden.
That way, even an outsider would know that it’s the same type of magic.

– Is it similar to the magic announced by Aiden Wizard?
– Aiden is a wizard who has been active for over 10 years. Of course he’s weaker than Aiden.
– No luck since debut. The opponent is Aiden.

He turned his head and looked behind him to see Im Sol with his eyes wide open.
Unlike other mages, it seems that he has already figured out the power of the Macheon Palace.

“Professor. Do you remember what Aiden did earlier? Please use the same magic.”
“… Yes.”

Concentrating my mind, I opened the Macheon Palace.
A large force field centered on my body emitted an intangible wave, and the magic wave that dominated the surrounding space created an area around me.

A unique flow of magical power that can only be felt inside Macheon Palace.
Feeling my body lighten, I signaled to Im Sol.

Imsol fired a pre-made magic at me.
High-ranking magic that is harder to reverse than the basic magic that Aiden blocked earlier.

Pajijijijik-!
Quadduk-!

Imsol’s magic slowed noticeably as soon as it entered my area.
Same effect as Aiden’s area expansion.
His magic ended there, but I exercised additional control over Imsol’s magic that entered my realm.

I can understand all magical powers with the perk [Magical Response].
In other words, it can interfere with other people’s magic.

As if my magical power was originally one, it interfered with Imsol’s magic.
As the area was developed, inverse calculation became easier, so we were able to show something more intense than Aiden’s performance.

“…Is what I’m seeing real?”
“Nonsense. That…”

I gulped and looked at the magic in front of me.
Imsol’s magic was suspended in the air, being controlled by my magical power.

‘This is not the end.’

At this rate, it’s just a slightly more advanced magic than Aiden’s.
I raised my hands up like an orchestra conductor running toward the finale, and at the same time Im Sol’s magic shoots up into the sky.

Kwaa Gwang- Kwaang-

The magic collided with the barrier in the presentation hall and disappeared with a roar.

“…”
“…”

The wizards in the presentation room were watching me with dazed expressions.

‘Not bad.’

It was a pity that there were only men, but it felt good to be in the spotlight.

“This concludes the presentation on the secret anti-magic dictionary. Area expansion.”

I bowed my head.
It’s a pity that there was no applause, but the wizards were distracted, perhaps because Im Sol and my magic were hit repeatedly.

Clap clap clap-

Then, I started hearing applause behind me.

“… This is a revolution before wizards, right?”
“Kuh, sure.”

Imsol smiled and talked to me, and the wizards who came to their senses gave thunderous applause one by one.
I bowed to the audience and thanked them.
Since I’m still young, I prefer a polite image.
Looking around, the only quiet place was Aiden’s clique.

“Joe, it’s manipulation. Guys, aren’t you at the level of a first-year cadet? This, this doesn’t make sense…!”

After the applause gradually stopped. Aiden’s voice echoed in the quiet presentation room.
His pride would crumple at the thought that the magic he had prepared would be overtaken by the cadets.
Just when he thought maybe here he might be able to see Aiden’s true nature.
A follower standing behind him grabbed him by the shoulder.
When Aiden looked back in amazement, the follower shook his head.
It was as if he was saying that we should back off here.

“Keugh…”

I was watching what was happening, but to my surprise, Aiden immediately stopped the fuss and sat down.

‘That guy is not a follower.’

I’ll have to remember
I remembered the guy’s impression in my head and averted my eyes.

– Ah… This concludes all presentations. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who made the society shine… Uh….

While the embarrassing host took care of the situation, I turned around and approached Im Sol.

“Finally, the conference is over.”
“I know.”

“Perhaps there will be an uproar?”

The key technique we announced is something that could overturn the history of the magic world.
Since Im Sol himself assured it, it must be true.

“It will be very annoying. I refuse to interview, so take care of yourself.”
“Where is that?”

Imsol shook her head in annoyance and went down the podium, and I followed with a smile.

“Professor.”
“Yes?”

I said, clinging to Imsol.

“I told you yesterday. It won’t take 10 years.”
“… It did.”
“Don’t worry about anything, just wait. All right?”
“… Yes. I’ll look forward to it. Hoyeonah.”

I smiled as I touched the professor’s flushed cheek, and Im Sol turned her head to me as if to hide her flushed face.
