Chapter 76 – Episode 76. Magic Analysis (2)

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. Just in case, it’s possible to trace the magic circle, right? Miss Ellis can perform backward calculations, so let’s try it as if Cadet Lee Ho-yeon is learning too!”

The professor encouraged me and smiled. It’s an established fact that I’m already losing.

Actually, it’s not right to think that way.

In the first place, among the cadets, only Alice was known to be capable of reverse calculation.

There are many people who cannot use it, even among active magicians. That’s how hard it is, and it’s magic that’s the realm of talent.

Magic circle tracking is a magic similar to reverse calculation, but backwards compatible.

It is a magic that tracks the magic circle. It gives a feeling similar to reverse calculation, but there is an overwhelming difference in speed.

It’s a convenient magic if you think of it as a bridge you go through to educate inverse calculation.

Of course, I know how to do reverse calculation, but I don’t know how to trace the magic circle.

“Hmm, I’m not good at tracking the magic circle, but there’s no problem with the demonstration the professor wants.”

“Okay. That’s enough.”

“…”

Alice is standing in front of me, giving me a look of incomprehension.

Well, I don’t think even I would understand.

『The sub-quest has been sent.』

[Elisse’s Jealousy?!]

Ellis gets jealous when she sees a peer better than her!

Shall we get her attention by making her jealous?

Manifest the magic circle before Alice!

– Reward: Strength 1

———————-

Oh, it’s been a while since a quest has appeared.

But why is the reward strength? Am I a wizard?

Of course, lately I’ve been seriously contemplating whether or not Liliana was the magician.

Anyway, the appearance of the quest means that I am finally following the proper original route.

Well, is it natural that Liliana’s teaching assistant or raped sex at the nursery school didn’t appear in the original story?

“For magic, let’s use the most basic magic. Force magic.”

Force magic.

It is the most basic magic. Magic that transforms mana into physical force and shoots it.

It is a magic that is not unreasonable even if you omit the magic circle, and in fact, it is a magic that is not used very often because it has no great effect.

However, there was a huge problem.

“So, are you ready?”

“Professor. I’m sorry… I don’t know about Force magic magic circles.”

“…? Force magic? Ah, Cadet Lee Ho-yeon said he had just turned to a wizard. He was so good at it that he always forgot it.”

The professor laughed and started looking through the textbook from the front.

“So… What other magic do you have?”

“You just need to tell me the force magic magic circle.”

“Huh? No no. Then it can’t be done. It’s against fairness to fight with a magic circle that you’re not familiar with yet.”

“It’s okay. I’m in a position to learn anyway, so wouldn’t it be easier for other cadets to see and learn if I use the easiest magic?”

“Is it?”

“Yep. Professor.”

You talked about it as if you were going to lose anyway, but why are you playing the drip of fairness?

This is why it is difficult to deal with older professors. Just skip a little bit

“Then, come on. Follow along. It’s like this.”

It is a really basic magic circle with hexagons in a round circle.

I did it at once, of course. In the first place, if it was this easy, I don’t think it would be fair and nabal.

“I memorized everything.”

“Then, let’s start when this flame goes out.”

The professor raised a small spark from his hand.

Blazing-

The flames were gradually decreasing in size in the air.

Ellis, who stood in front of me, was not very nervous and drew her mana onto her body.

I intend to perfectly win this reverse calculation match.

The quest told me to manifest the magic circle before Ellis did, but that way, when I was jealous, when I remembered it.

How many women do you have to target right now?

Jealousy is not enough, so I have to make myself think about me all day long.

Today, we are going to make Ellis feel the difference in class.

It will probably be very spicy because it is the first painful experience, but you will be able to endure it.

“If you’d like to donate a book like that, I’ll accept it.”

“I apologize in advance. Please don’t be too angry.”

I shrugged and smiled.

I’m really angry, but I want you to stop. I don’t know if I can control it to the point of being jealous.

The flame soon goes out.

I raised the mana all over my body.

‘Open eyes’

His vision widened momentarily, and he was able to observe her mana gathering in Elise’s hand.

I also prepared a magic circle.

If you set your mind to release it quickly, you can release it in an instant, but winning like that is meaningless.

Softly-

The flame, the signal to start, disappeared, and Alice immediately began building a magic circle.

It seems like a strategy to create a magic circle first rather than interfering with my magic.

In fact, if you are confident in your mana management, that would be the most passable strategy.

But I didn’t build a magic circle with the magic I raised.

I just read Alice’s magic.

The gap between the magic circles, the strength of magic power, and Alice’s breathing.

We analyzed all the elements visible between the gaps of less than one second.

If there are so many elements to show, inverse calculation is bound to be easy.

I shook her hand lightly and distracted Elise’s mana.

“…?!”

The magic circle that was on the verge of completion was disorganized.

Alice finally looked at me.

I was slowly building a magic circle.

Like a sloth that had fallen to the ground crawling, it slowly drew a solid magic circle.

Alice frowned and started to interfere with my magical power.

If this is a fight, even if there is a difference in level, there may be some variables.

However, a pure reverse calculation can never narrow the difference in skill.

Besides, Alice has to proceed with calculations and interpretations, but I just ‘understand’.

The difference can never be crossed.

No matter how much Alice tried to interfere with magic, my magic circle was drawn.

When she tried to draw a magic circle, she interfered with magic like a sword and destroyed the magic circle.

“Under….”

In the end, Alice couldn’t even use her hands properly and she was defeated by me.

She looked at the completed magic circle in my hand with her blank face.

“Oh, oh oh…! Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! You know how to calculate backwards! Why didn’t you tell me beforehand!”

“I just got lucky.”

“What do you mean by that… That’s not it. That’s not what’s important. Among the 1st year wizards, another talent has emerged. It’s a jackpot! A jackpot!”

It seems that the professor is more pleased with the good things that have happened to Victoria Academy than my bullshit.

I looked at Alice, not paying attention to the professor.

Ellis was thinking hard about why she lost.

“Ellis.”

Alice clenched her fists and looked at me. Her glare in her eyes was frightening.

“You, what the hell are those eyes?”

She seemed to conclude that the reason for her own defeat was my ‘opening eyes’.

Actually, it’s almost right, but I would have won without it.

If you put your mind to it, you can win if you complete the magic circle in one second. It just doesn’t make any sense.

“Of course it’s a secret. Oh, this is without an afterthought, right?”

“… Ha ha. Do whatever you want. So, I want to ask you something. I can do at least one at my discretion.”

Alice’s father is the guild leader of ‘Iris’ in France.

France’s representative guild, the Iris Guild, is making a name for itself as the only information guild in the world.

The Iris Guild is so famous that there is a saying that you can buy any information with money.

Although they are receiving many threats, they are maintaining the guild firmly because they have overwhelming military power.

“I have enough money to commission the Iris Guild. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t even bet on you.”

“No way….”

“Yeah. What you think is probably correct. Let’s talk about this later. You’re not going to lose the bet and say I don’t know, right?”

“…Yes. Don’t worry. I’ll do it unconditionally.”

A route that does not ask the Iris Guild, but directly to the guild leader.

This is not something that can be said to have money.

You have to have great personal connections and luck, but if Alice asks for it, she’ll allow it.

Because the Iris guild leader is a huge idiot.

But, the answer seems a bit angry. Wouldn’t it?

“Alice. You weren’t mad, right? It was just a bet.”

“Not at all. You’re not angry? Could you please stop saying something strange?”

… I think I’m angry.

[Quest complete!]

Well, the quest has been completed, so it should be fine.

The heroine capture quest never hurt me.

“But really, where did you learn reverse calculation? Isn’t it amazing enough to beat Alice?”

After lunch break, Lucy started talking to me while I was on my way to the classroom to prepare for the afternoon theory class.

“You kept telling me. It’s just self-taught.”

“Wow… Lee Ho-yeon is crazy.”

“It’s amazing. Mr. Hoyeon…”

“It’s embarrassing, so stop it. Let’s prepare for the theory class.”

It was really embarrassing to be like that all lunchtime.

People passing by also glanced at me next to Lucy and Rumi.

Isn’t it, are you just walking around with twins on each side and looking at them?

We arrived at the classroom and got ready for class.

“No. But honestly, I really hate modern hunter studies. If you listen to it, you’ll understand it, but why do I have to memorize it?”

“Calm down, Lucy. Let’s study in the club room with me today.”

“Is that so? Then Lee Ho-yeon, come too. You’re good at studying.”

“Me?”

Actually, I don’t have a schedule behind me, so it’s okay, but…

Is there no need to refuse?

I also have a chance to do it with Rumi.

“So what.”

“Nice. We got a teacher today.

“Still, Hoyeon-san, you shouldn’t interfere too much with your studies.”

“Okay. Okay. And you’re going to ask too.”

“It is, but…”

Drooling-

“Hello! I’m Professor Kang Hyo-rin! Long time no see.”

This is Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, a professor of modern hunter studies.

He is a very famous professor who takes classes every day, saying that he is often busy.

“Today, in preparation for the exam, let’s summarize the main points. There is no time! We will run from start to finish without a break, so let’s focus and don’t sleep!”

“Oh, it’s ruined.”

Lucy’s stunned voice came from beside me.

*

A sedan that is parked at the main gate of the academy at the same time every day.

Ellis casually climbed into her car.

“You worked hard, lady.”

“Yeah, thank you.”

A middle-aged man in the driver’s seat started driving as if he was used to it.

Alice always had a set restaurant where she went to eat dinner.

“Are your preparations for the midterm exam going well?”

“Yeah, well…”

I’m sure it’ll be number 1. I was about to spit out the words, but I stopped.

Because a man came to her mind.

“I think I’ll be first or second.”

“Second place? It seems that the young lady has a lot of talent to say that.”

“Yeah. Lee Ho-yeon, the PR department you talked about last time.”

“Aha, that handsome fellow. Hey, it’s amazing that he’s good at studying. The other day, he said, ‘Did you catch an ogre?’

“Well. It might be real.”

Elise was on the non-belief side, but she said today that after seeing Lee Ho-yeon’s level of magic, ‘maybe…’ The thought of ‘.’ Began to creep in.

“So, please do some background investigation on Lee Ho-yeon.”

“Oh! Looks like you’re finally interested in your friend?”

“It’s not like that. And Mr. Lee Ho-yeon, please investigate yourself.”

“Then, is it a check, not an interest?”

The middle-aged man’s mood changed a little. The laughing man disappeared, and he gave off a sharp force.

“Well, it’s just a feeling… But I’m a little reluctant.”

“Okay. If the lady orders it, I have no choice but to obey.”

“Yeah. Thank you as always.”

Originally, Alice has no interest in others. That’s why she didn’t investigate Nam Da-eun separately. Because there may be people who are more talented than me.

However, Lee Ho-yeon was somehow taken aback.

It was a close relationship with the student council president, and a strange current flowing between the saintess.

Besides, a club with twin beauties in the first year.

Unusual magic skills.

Even if she hadn’t had one suspicious case, Alice wouldn’t have investigated her background.

But at this point, wouldn’t Elise catch one of these? She was in the mood.

It’s good if you get it, not if you don’t.

“Oh, that’s right. Call Dad. My daughter has a request.”

“Yes. I understand. When should we start investigating Cadet Lee Ho-yeon?”

“Umm, do it when it’s convenient. It’s not that urgent.”

“Then, I’ll start right away from today.”

“Yeah. Do whatever you want.”

Without much thought, Alice ordered Lee Ho-yeon to investigate.

And, he never imagined that Lee Ho-yeon would be caught everywhere he thought.
