Chapter 249 – It’s Not Like That…(2)

Whether I grumbled or not, the class went on.

After the professor of monster studies, who was noticeably gloomy compared to when he first came in, went back, and soon after, the next subject, magic manipulation professor Ethan Bayliff, came in.

After a simple greeting, Ethan went straight to class.

“In the first semester, I learned mainly how to know my magic patterns and use them to increase the efficiency of my magic. From the second semester, we plan to teach mobile casting, which is an essential virtue for actual combat.”

Uh… I know how to do that even now.

A murmur is heard from all over the classroom. That’s probably because the class A students are all able to move cast, albeit clumsily, probably because they were beaten by me so much during sparring.

“Of course, there are still students who can cast magic while moving to some extent. However, the movement casting I am talking about is not simply moving the body and casting magic, but casting while moving vigorously enough to be called a battle.”

The surroundings nodded in admiration for Edan’s additional explanation. In response, Ethan also smiled contentedly and continued.

“It will be very difficult at first. Do you have to carry on the chanting with the dominance that completely dominates magical powers and an unshakable composure? But I think any of my students can do it.”

A professor who encourages his students with a polite tone and a student who corrects his posture with an expression full of enthusiasm.

What a beautiful sight this is. But.

“Ugh… Professor Ethan?”

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“I already know how to cast while fighting, so what should I do?”

“…”

“It can be cast while tumbling.”

“… Maybe. Then, Yandel student, shall we practice the next step, minimizing magical interference?”

“Magic interference… ?”

As she tilted her head, Carla whispered softly next to her.

“I’m talking about dispel resistance, Master.”

“Aha.”

When a wizard and a wizard fight, if the difference in level is large, the opponent’s magic can be scattered.

This is called dispel… It was a technique rarely seen at H&A.

You have to be a high-ranking wizard to be able to erase the magic of a low-ranking wizard. Then how to dispel intermediate magic?

Of course, you have to be a great wizard.

Honestly, if there is that much of a difference, it’s dispel and nabal, and it’s not enough to just push with firepower.

It won’t even penetrate the shield in the first place, so there’s no need to dispel it.

For that reason, dispel from H&A was a technique that you would see more often in cutscenes than in gameplay.

I know it exists, but it’s like when the chairman first appeared, who didn’t show his nose.

It was really cool to see him appear and dissipate all the magic around him. It was to the point where I could clearly feel what a magician’s mulberry was.

… The problem is that I have to film the Archmage if I want to recreate it.

Did you know what I was thinking with my subtle expression? Ethan smiled faintly and shook her head.

“Even if it’s not dispelling, it’s common in battles between mages to interfere with the opponent’s magical energy and prevent it from being created with magic. An example is the magic-disrupting handcuffs on felons.”

“Oh. I know that.”

Carla, Elisha, and Iris, who had just won the bid at the auction, were wearing it.

Magic tools are, after all, inscribed with specific magic on objects. It means that if there are magic-disrupting handcuffs, there is also magic-disrupting magic.

Ethan is trying to teach you how to resist it.

“First, let me explain the principle. The name is grandiose, but in the end, magic interference refers to any act that uses one’s own magic to disrupt the opponent’s mana control.”

“Is it mana interference to shout loudly with a lot of mana?”

“It’s an inelegant method, but it’s also a clear mana interference.”

According to Edan’s explanation that followed, there were two main methods of mana interference.

One is to delicately tune and synchronize one’s own mana according to the wavelength of the opponent’s mana, and then destroy it from the inside out.

It almost feels like planting a spy.

On the other hand, the other is to strike with mighty magic power and destroy the opponent’s magic array.

The screaming with a lot of mana that I just talked about belongs to this category.

The magic obstruction magic tool shoots mana that diffusely reflects inside the wearer’s body, making it difficult to control magic…

It’s just that it makes it difficult to use, it’s not that you can’t use it at all. Thanks to this, if you have the ability, you can cast magic even while being disturbed by magic tools.

That must be why Iris was wearing a lot of obstructive magic tools. One of them wouldn’t have been able to handle the potential of a high-ranking wizard.

“Did you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Then you should try it. Cast any simple magic. However, with the image of making the composition as tight and compact as possible.”

“Hard and dense…”

Even if it had a similar pattern, so that magic from outside could not sneak in, and so that it would not collapse even in a violent storm.

Concentrating on perfection, not power, he recited the starting language.

“Tinder.”

Hwareuk.

A match-level flame bloomed at your fingertips. Maybe because of my mood, the color is clearer than usual.

“Good. From now on, we will match the wavelength. First of all, I’m going to seep inside and break it down, so feel how it feels.”

Saying so, Edan lightly spreads mana around him.

This… Is it Search? No, it’s too light for that.

Search is a basic search magic. A method of scattering mana over a wide area centered on oneself and recognizing the surroundings with the echoes.

However, the mana that Edan released just a moment ago was so thin and faint that he could not have noticed it if he hadn’t concentrated his mind.

Ethan is said to be the type with superior knowledge than his own ability, but the academy professor is still a professor. This level of control must be basic.

While I was thinking that in my mind. Suddenly, the part of my mind that was maintaining Tinder started to tickle.

It feels like gently stimulating the brain with something like cotton wool. Is this the sense that someone else is trying to infiltrate my magical power?

I focused on the part where Ethan’s magic and mine met, thinking that I wouldn’t miss what would happen in the future.

1 minute passed like that.

“Hmm…”

Two minutes passed.

“Okay.”

For some reason, Ethan was frozen in place, sweating profusely. The surroundings begin to buzz.

I asked Edan cautiously.

“Excuse me… Professor?”

“For a moment! Quiet for a minute!”

“?”

He tilted his head at Edan’s sudden cry, but waited for a while.

About 5 more minutes passed like that.

“All right, all right!”

Ethan cheers with a proud voice, wondering where his usual dignified appearance has gone.

At the same time, something foreign energy shakes the mana.

Tinder’s flame flickers precariously as if it will go out at any moment.

It wasn’t enough to dispel the magic, but the power was reduced by about half. Is this magic interference? It sure is great. But.

“I don’t think it would be difficult to use in real life if it takes this long.”

“… Ah.”

Ethan, who came to his senses at those words, took a look at the watch he took out of his bosom and continued with a dejected expression.

“Originally, it shouldn’t take this long. It’s a simple basic magic for the first defense. … It seems that the problem was that the Yandel student’s mana pattern was too elaborate.”

“My mana pattern?”

“Yes. In case of infiltrating magic into magic, you have to follow the caster’s mana pattern to some extent… The pattern was more esoteric than I expected. Usually, something this complicated is only when you’re born with a very peculiar constitution or when you apply encryption. Have you ever learned how to deal with it?”

“No. I’ve never had that…”

When I denied it with a tilt of my head, I felt a small pull from my sleeve.

I slightly turned my gaze to her, and Karla had her ruby ​​eyes wide open as if she wanted to say something.

After asking for Ethan’s understanding for a moment and bringing her ear, Karla finally opened her mouth in an excited tone.

“Master. Do you remember when I told you about the magic circle and told you to think of it in your head even if you don’t draw it when you use magic in the future?”

“Of course. That way, when you deploy the magic circle later, you will immediately remember what kind of magic it is and it will be more efficient?”

“Yes. But isn’t a magic circle a kind of code that only the caster can know? The Lindelheit family’s magic circle system is a bit unique.”

“… No way?”

“That’s right. You can negate halfway interference just by casting while thinking of the magic circle. It’s not just a vision.”

I hadn’t really thought about this.

I thought it was a vision simply because I knew what kind of magic it was once the method of interpreting the magic circle was known!

The basic elements of magic are, after all, image and magical power alone. The rest are additional elements to assist with accuracy or power.

So just imagining a magic circle and using magic might be effective.

Theoretically anyway.

Actually, it wouldn’t have been difficult to create a magic circle with such an effect.

As Carla said, it wasn’t classified as a vision for nothing.

While I’m dumbfounded As if she had waited only for this day, Karla smiled in repentance.

“Master, you have already learned how to resist magical interference. I dyed my master like that from the beginning… No, because I taught you!”

“…”

What is selfishness
