Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

35 – Change (2)

According to Trey senior’s message, all the students of the Magic School are students who came to Seoul after hearing about geniuses in the village. It means that although they have great pride, they have received a lot of expectations from those around them.

So, like now, when a young child pretends to do something he can’t even try, he feels only despair. Moreover, since Lia came in with the recommendation and support of Enboza Mensi, her deep inferiority complex soon led to anger and contempt.

“That’s an onslaught. As you can see, it’s pretty, but useless. Most of the time, that kind of thing is realized only when you’re trying to daunt others or prove how abundant sap is in your body. Oh, the kids who just tried this?”

If you point out one by one, there are five in total.

“You guys just erased all the driving lines from your head. If you use it carelessly, you’ll collapse from anemia. If you succeed, it will hurt you even more. Because you could die from exhaustion. The driving force of magic withdrawal is proportional to the size of the magic implemented. In other words, it takes a lot more energy to evolve it than to heat it up. Be careful if you don’t want a beautiful funeral.”

Enboza Mensi stomped his foot to call attention.

“I know very well that everyone thinks they are famous. But, there are real geniuses in this world. It was the same with Velaste, where I graduated. That Lady phile over there is the owner of a talent that cannot be reached with hard work. Everyone, don’t recklessly challenge magic you don’t know. In Velaste, there are quite a few cadets who passed out while using blind fire. He died on rare occasions, so listen closely to what I have to say. I mean, figure out your subject.”

I don’t want to hear that the accident happened because of an immature professor, so everyone concludes by saying, keep in mind.

─That makes Leah more isolated.

I don’t know if he did it on purpose or if he said it without thinking. However, the remark just now scratched the inside of the cadets, whose pride was already scratched. Since he has a natural talent, he doesn’t even consider the feelings of ordinary people. Suddenly, looking back, it seems that Ivor’s father did the same. If not, I made it until it was.

“I’m going to sleep now.”

Everyone is quiet, Leah declared, looking at her professor. As soon as her permission is granted, she rests her head on Kite’s side.

“Oh, over there?”

I quietly whispered to Kite.

“Leave it alone.”

Then she awkwardly puts her arm around her and holds Lia’s head. Naturally, Lady phile’s body clung to Kite’s soft abdomen. It was so peaceful that I couldn’t help but smile.

“Thank you.”

“Yes.”

We whispered so quietly that only each other could hear. Enboza Mensi drew one more picture, and remember that this is the driving force behind withdrawal. However, since this must be combined with the existing magic, withdrawal cannot be implemented with only this. In other words, magic means a bundle of several driving forces that perform a specific function.

Commonly, the magic called fireball requires a total of four driving wheels to be implemented. Normal people cannot use it because they have to mix *sphere, *fighter, and direction in succession with basic flames such as ignition, fire, and blind fire, including flame. This is because there is no concentration to draw that kind of driving force into an image.

Even if you succeed in making a spark somehow, if you want to put it out, you won’t be able to use the driving force of evolution. That’s because it can only be used to extinguish sparks created by other wizards. In order to withdraw the magic he wrote, the fire and withdrawal must be combined again, so if he faints while using magic, he may die.

“Demana.”

He whispered very quietly, so I glanced at him.

“He keeps…… What should I do?”

This little girl put her hand on the kite’s lower chest three times. She swipe it off, barely shake her torso to drop it. She really fell asleep As soon as she used her magic, seeing that she slept so well, it must have been that her energy consumption was high.

“As you just saw, magic is burning the spirit within you.”

Enboza Mensi continued.

“The amount of spirit cannot be quantified because it varies greatly depending on the innate talent and how one has practiced. If you compare it, it’s the same as a muscle. Just as the arms of a person who lifts something heavy every day get thicker, if you repeat the process of exhausting and recovering your energy every day, you will be able to realize stronger magic. If your goal is to become a battle mage, it’s better to burn out magic every day than to study while reading magic books.”

Then he straightened her finger and placed it on her lower jaw. It was a pretty cute hand gesture for her age.

“The problem is that the boundary between whether or not to drive is not clear, so the attempt itself is difficult. It is impossible to quantify how much energy is required to implement a particular magic. So, depending on the condition of the day, there are times when things don’t work out. Let’s assume that you tried high-level magic on a bad day. What will happen to your body if this happens, parrot?”

─I don’t know.

“Won’t you pass out?”

“So you’re asking why?”

It must be the same reason that Di Rosa Hue looked extremely tired right after using the new method.

“Just as you get tired from working too much, regularity is exhausted like physical strength and muscle strength.”

“You may not be smarter than I thought, are you?”

“So, you will end up getting injured.”

Enboza Mensi looked at me and asked me to think about why I was hurt.

“My bones and flesh can’t stand it.”

“We’re close. Roll your head a little more.”

Where are the bones and flesh of the spirit?

From noble mtl dot com

“Blood.”

—Because they said that anemia occurs.

“Yes, cockatiel. Follow me.”

Correct answer, he chirps. Let’s stay alone because it’s embarrassing, I want to get fired already. You should get the book

“Correct answer, quite a bit!”

“So, didn’t you almost have roast parrot instead of duck today?”

He laughs to himself.

“Yes, there is spirit in the blood. However, there is another controversy as to which of blood or qi is more important. Why is that? Have you all thought about it? Then, shall we talk?”

With no one answering, he raises a fire, asking if it’s good for you, who are not even as good as parrots.

“When mana depletion occurs, the blood thins and dies.”

“Right, that means blood and spirit are not the same substance.”

Hurrying, the two raised their hands to answer.

“Exactly! If blood is the essence, in the case of depletion of mana, the blood should be dry, but it becomes thin. So, scholars defined this as a kind of *carrier (Beta) that preserves the blood. On the contrary, theology said that the spirit is the carrier of the blood. To quote their poetic expression, just as the wind blows away the dust.”

A few giggled.

“Are you like a mother pigeon next to a parrot there?”

At the professor’s point, Kite slightly raised her head and barely answered.

“You, who is the prettiest here, answer me.”

“Hey…… I guess you didn’t hear the question?”

“Oh, I will do it now!”

It is certain that there is spirit in the blood, but it seems that one gives it and the other one denies it. In other words, it is a question of what is the essence and what is the end. Seeing as the support cadets weren’t at the level to answer, it seemed like they just did it.

“Take a picture.”

At my tip, Kite plucked up courage.

“Tongue, blood…… Gee, I think it’s real. No, maybe not, but it still stands out…… See, because I can see.”

“If visibility is the criterion for judging the true value of an object, the essence is forever unprovable, right?”

“That…… What do we do…… I didn’t study, so I…… But it hurts when it bleeds, so…… Sorry.”

Kite Tane gave the best answer, but she didn’t like Enboja Mensi’s expression.

“Sounds like you judge magic by pain, right?”

─Isn’t that the logic of theology?

At this point, Kite, who didn’t know anything about the pendulum, panicked and tried to talk nonsense. When I lightly press the instep, he catches his breath and calms down. Demana, you call me earnestly, but I don’t know the answer either. So let’s be silent.

“It bothers me.”

Leah opened her eyes.

“It’s bullying.”

Standing on Kite’s thighs, she faces Enboja Mensi. The two just stared at each other quietly. Eventually, the professor burst into laughter first, and the tension disappeared. Lia soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

“Funny, a real family came to listen to the lecture. It’s fine, so can someone tell me?”

In the uncomfortable silence, Senior Trey raised her hand.

“It cannot be defined with certainty, but if blood is defined as the carrier of spirit, it is the basis for the theory of materialism.”

“Please explain.”

“Blood is a substance in the phenomenal world, but it has properties that can prove its existence. If the spirit is seen as the root of blood, it means that the spirit is contained in a provable substance. In this way, magic that runs regularly becomes something provable like divine law. This is because even if there is no change in the phenomenal world, the force that causes it is a substance that can be proved.”

“I think only you, the smart one, will understand?”

“Suppose you are giving a gift of wrapped chocolate. Depending on which of the two is defined as the essence, the meaning of the gift differs. If you define it as a wrapping paper carrier, it becomes a gift only when chocolate is inside. On the other hand, if you define chocolate as a carrier, it becomes a gift even when it is empty.”

“Try replacing it with blood and spirit.”

“If blood is the carrier, spirit is the essence, so the visible blood is the proof of spirit. In other words, even without further proof, the existence of spirit and magic has already been proven. But if we consider the spirit as a carrier, it becomes only a kind of side branch included for the operation of the blood essence. At this time, the only thing that can determine the existence is the visible blood, not the invisible regularity. In other words, the rationale for the theory of magic, which emphasizes the independence of magic, collapses. This is because it can deny the existence of spirit, the source of magic.”

Someone clapped their hands. I couldn’t understand it at once, but I could understand what he was saying.

“Hey, kite?”

I tried to explain, but my eyes were already closed. He often falls asleep when explaining difficult concepts.

“Summarizing, saying that there is spirit in the blood means acknowledging the existence of spirit anyway. If magic and divine law are only a matter of faith, the essence that exists as a substance in the phenomenal world becomes an impossible element. So, I think that this series of controversies and notions of carriers are all speculative concepts that came out to refute Yujaism.”

This time, even Enboza Mensi clapped at the explanation that drove a wedge.

─Well, my roommate is cooler than I thought.

“Everyone is nice to Trey. You guys, don’t you know how helpful your smart classmates and seniors are?”
