Chapter 232 I redefined the Magic System?



Chapter 232 I redefined the Magic System?

I picked up the chalk and faced the board.

The classroom was filled with eager eyes, ready to learn.

Well... only after I forced them to...

"So guys, what\'d you wanna learn?"

I wanted to dive right into the lesson, but Anastasia, always the skeptic, sighed and spoke up.

"Shouldn\'t a teacher already know what he wants to teach before he starts?" she said, crossing her arms.

Honestly, I\'ve never felt the urge to slap a woman, until now.

"Of course, Anastasia, but a good teacher also knows what his students are currently learning. That way, we can tailor the topics to their needs and build upon their previous knowledge."

Anastasia rolled her eyes. "Tch, lame excuse," she said.

"Want me to bring the monster back?" I asked her.

"No!" Anastasia squeaked.

I grinned at her reaction. "Then stay quiet," I told her.

Luna raised her hand and caught my attention. "Miss Lucretia taught us some Formulae for Spell Amplification," she informed me.

I placed the chalk back on my desk.

The 5th branch of magical engineering dealt with Formulae for Spell Amplification.

It studied the exploration of formulae for increasing the power, range, or effectiveness of spells using amplification matrices or enchanted harmonic resonators.

Trade-offs and limitations of spell amplification were also important to the topic itself.

"Ah, excellent! I have an idea. Anyone with an affinity for water magic, prepare to use your spells and hit these."

With a swift motion of my hand and some earth magic, I created six small pieces of rocks that hovered in the air, serving as target dummies.

Luna, however, seemed unimpressed by my choice.

"Do you think we\'re so incompetent that we can\'t even hit some tiny rocks?" she questioned, folding her arms.

"I mean it\'s okay if you can\'t do it," I shrugged.

Luna\'s face turned a deep shade of red, embarrassment evident. "Shut up! I\'ll hit it," she exclaimed.

"I suppose," Aidan adjusted his spectacles. "I should try these as well."

However, Lance remained uninterested, preoccupied with admiring his features. "Too busy here," he replied with a guffaw.

Self-assured bastard...

He somewhat reminded me of Lloyd.

Luna confidently extended her hand, her palm facing the small floating rocks.

With an effortless motion, she cast the spell and a water arrow spell materialized in her hand. Three arrow-shaped water projectiles shot forth from her palm, surging towards the targets.

Aidan conjured a water ball spell.

Three perfectly formed spheres of water formed in his hand, resembling bullets ready to be unleashed. He aimed with precision and released them, sending them hurtling towards the remaining rocks.

Expectedly, Luna\'s water arrows penetrated the first three rocks, shattering them into pieces.

Aidan\'s water balls followed suit, obliterating the other three targets.

The class erupted into applause.

The accuracy and strength of their spells were expected.

"Alright, nice one guys." I clapped.

Now, I\'d already tested my theory, but to confirm it, I needed to ask a question.

"Luna," I called.

"Yeah?"

"Your spell, how much mana did it consume?"

"Is that really important or is i—"

"Just answer the damn question.."

"Tch, you could\'ve at least said please," Luna folded her hands as she frowned a bit, her facial features made her anger a bit cute. "I used 160 mana points."

"Excellent," I replied. "And you Aidan?" I turned my gaze to him.

He adjusted his spectacles, "65 mana points."

"Great."

The way he was always adjusting his glasses reminded me of something in a Shonen manga.

A lot of it was stuffed into my memory.

Luna, sighing with exhaustion, raised her hand and quizzically asked, "What\'s the point of all that?"

I paused for a moment, collecting my thoughts.

"Patience, Luna," I replied calmly.

I looked at all the students and then asked them, "What are the factors that determine a strong and weak spell?"

Anastasia couldn\'t contain her skepticism any longer.

She face-palmed and spoke up.

"As the teacher, shouldn\'t you already know the answer?"

Why was she always like this?

I sighed, frustration weighing heavily on me. "Of course I know," I explained. "But asking the class is a way to gauge if they\'ve been following along."

Luna, already getting tired, chimed in.

"The amount of mana points consumed in a spell depends on the quantity of the element created, the complexity of the shape formed, and the manner in which it is used. In other words, how fast, accurate, or uniquely it has been executed."

Wow, these idiots actually know the answer.

I nodded approvingly.

"Exactly, Luna. You\'ve grasped the concept perfectly."

Pausing for a dramatic effect, I continued with a smug smile.

"But you\'re all still idiots."

The entire class erupted into an uproar of protest, a chorus of "eeeh!" filling the room.

Anastasia reclined comfortably in her chair, her green eyes vibrant and beautiful as she leaned over to whisper to Elise. "You know, Miss Lucretia never took this long to make a point."

"Y... Ye... Hm."

Elise opted to nod in response. Right after, her head sunk back into her snug scarf.

I smirked at her comment.

"Well, in the end, I\'ll teach you something Lucretia couldn\'t."

Anastasia let out a nonchalant whistle and challenged me, doubt lacing her words.

"Oh, really? Are you willing to bet on that?"

Walking forward, I matched her confidence with a cunning smile.

"Why not?" I proposed.

"This never ends well," Aidan muttered to himself.

"So, what\'s the bet?" Anastasia asked, confidence elevating her voice.

"If I fail to make a clear point, you can have whatever you desire. But if I succeed, you\'ll be my personal assistant throughout my entire stay at the university."

Anastasia\'s lips curled into a sly grin as she contemplated the wager.

"Hmm, since that\'s never going to happen, I guess you better start preparing to treat me to lunch for the rest of the semester."

"That won\'t happen," my hands slipped back into my pockets, "I\'ll prove it."

But just as the classroom settled, Luna stretched and let out a tired yawn.

Her gentle voice broke the playful banter.

"I\'m glad you\'re trying to be motivated and all, but perhaps we should focus on the class, shouldn\'t we?"

It was obvious she was exhausted.

Lance chimed in with a smirk.

"Oh, don\'t worry, Luna. While I focus on my beautiful hair, I\'ll still manage to pay attention."

"I wasn\'t talking to you." Luna held her head in her palm.

Even Aidan couldn\'t help but retort.

"Can\'t you spend a single day in class without admiring yourself in the mirror?"

Lance chuckled gently.

"With this face? Impossible."

He stared at the mirror with a blue steel gaze.

I paced up and down the front of the room, chalk in hand.

The students looked at me expectantly.

I swung around to face Anastasia, who was lounging comfortably in her chair.

"Anastasia, what\'s a spell?"

"Well, obviously, it\'s an automatic magical effect, duh.."

"Correct," I agreed, scribbling her answer on the chalkboard. "But that\'s as much as you idiots know."

Without further ado, I extended my hand, and conjured a small arrow made entirely of shimmering water. I launched it towards a small floating rock at the corner of the classroom. But, to everyone\'s surprise, it curved past the rock and flew out of the window.

Lumila let out a soft sigh and whispered under her breath, "He can\'t even hit a simple target."

But before she could think further, Ruri Goldfield, a nice, pretty girl with her jet-black hair tied in pigtails and captivating blue eyes, chimed in.

"Maybe," she suggested with a gentle and understanding tone, "maybe he meant to miss it."

Anastasia scoffed. "Doubt it."

I tapped the chalk on the board, catching their attention.

"Actually, I did miss it on purpose."

"That\'s a lame excuse," said Aidan.

I took a moment to compose myself, preparing to delve into the depths of magical theory.

"You see, the biggest problem when it comes to amplifying a spell lies in the very system of how our magic is used. Naturally, magic should be limitless in nature. It should flow freely, unhampered by rules or restrictions. But alas, our magic is too structured, too confined by its own system."

I turned to face the class.

"Lumila, can you create a spell and change its complexity factor in real-time?"

"No, that\'s impossible," she replied.

I smiled smugly at her, "Oh, but it shouldn\'t be hard for a talented mage like you."

Lumila\'s annoyance flickered across her face, but she held her anger in check, twirling a strand of her green hair with her index finger.

Adjusting his spectacles, Aidan focused. "But altering the effect of a spell after it\'s been cast is impossible."

"Yes, it is traditionally believed to be impossible," I conceded. "But why\'s that?"

"Because a spell is an automatically registered magical phenomenon," Luna explained. "It comprises of mana points, the magic\'s nature, like water, and the complexity factor, such as its shape, speed, trajectory, and so on. All of these aspects must be set before casting a spell. Once cast, it\'s like a chain reaction that cannot be altered."

I stepped towards the chalkboard, ready to illustrate my point.

"You see, when a mage overthinks the intricacies of a spell, they end up with the wrong result. It\'s like putting garbage in and getting garbage out," I said, writing each word on the board for emphasis.

I turned back to face the eager idiotic students.

"Just because the system tells us we can\'t change the properties of a spell after it\'s been cast doesn\'t mean it\'s true," I said confidently.

Luna spoke up. "But many have tried and failed," she shrugged.

I looked at her.

"I know that, idiot."

Luna was quick to take offense, her cheeks puffed up like buns and her face turned red like a tomato.

I continued, unfazed.

"The people that failed." I adjusted my glasses, "What they did was - fixing a modern system inside a traditional system. What they need to do is create a whole new modern system of casting magic."

Anastasia slammed her hands on the table and stood up.

"The Gods themselves passed down the knowledge of magic to us," she declared. "If they say it\'s impossible, then it is."

I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Then maybe you and the Gods are both idiots."

I scanned the room, meeting the eyes of each student, then chuckled.

"Well, it seems awfully quiet now. Does no one have a clue?"

Silence filled the room as the students pondered the question.

But before anyone could respond, I extended my hand and focused my mana, summoning a ball of water. I launched it towards Elise, the usually quiet and timid girl.

"EEEK!!"

Her eyes widened in surprise and fear, but at the last second, the water ball miraculously curved out the window, avoiding any contact with her.

A collective gasp filled the room as the students stared at me.

Indeed, I redefined the magic system of the gods.
