sparkle. sparkle.

“I’ll do it later.”

Back to the room, about three hours.

The pebbles on the desk were shining throughout the study.

What kind of wish are you wishing for? Whatever it is, it’s probably a wish I’ll never be able to grant. It’s embarrassing to keep watching… … .

“Ehh.”

I tried to put the dimensional shard in the drawer, but I just put it back on the desk. I have to prepare for a lecture on the weekend.

The pebbles placed on the desk like that sparkle until the day dawns. Upstairs thump! It didn’t twinkle more after the sound had been made.

… … with character.

* * *

“Can you tell me your purpose?”

“Prepare for my special lecture.”

“yes. You may go in.”

Wow, the automatic door opened.

The Professor’s Research Building of Summer Turge is a building in which the essence of magic science is concentrated in this worldview. So, compared to the exterior that gives off an old-fashioned feel, the interior is very sophisticated.

Numerous installations illuminated by bluish magic lights. From the moment you enter, overflowing pure magic tickles your skin.

The upper floors of the faculty research building.

The 4th to 6th floors are all laboratories, and in principle, students are not allowed to go up. It was thanks to the medal hanging on my chest that there was no problem even if I came here.

A place that all the masters of magic science wish to visit. Most of the independent theories and researches of the Imperial Wizards are conducted within this space. It is quite encouraging that I, who is just a freshman, entered.

‘I don’t know the exact way.’

I made a good excuse to prepare for a special lecture, but my purpose actually has little to do with it.

I went all the way through the round hallway and found the elevator. The destination is on the 6th floor, the highest.

“Heh heh, are you already in the lab, Rockstrin?”

“Ah, professor.”

A familiar and generous appearance stood together in front of the elevator. He has the same medal as mine. Kanin smiled benevolently and spoke to me.

“I was looking around. I’ve heard it through rumors.”

“It’s been less than half a year since I took office, so there are still many interesting places. Be careful not to get lost.”

“Anyway, this medal is also a period jenny, so it will be at the level of just looking at it.”

“That’s something I don’t know. Is there any other place to look for? I will guide you.”

I nodded.

The 6th floor of the faculty research building, where even professors who have just been appointed or who are in poor positions show notice and rarely enter.

The most dangerous and most powerful object in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞.

“I heard that there are artifacts imbued with ancient power in Summer Turge.”

“You mean the magic core?”

“Yes.”

Hundreds of years ago, the remains of Riden, said to have been the birthplace of the first magic.

As it was a large-scale exploration, they hired competent mercenaries and adventurers from all over the continent, so they were of different nationalities.

First of all, the tombstone, which became the foundation of today’s magic, was so large that it was difficult to move it far, so it became the possession of Riden.

The rest is now shared by each country, but it is said that it took several months just to distribute the numerous weapons that had been sleeping in the warehouse.

These are what are now called artifacts. The ring I’m wearing, [Typhoon’s Devotion] is probably one of them.

‘What’s left is the problem.’

‘If you look at what was in the center, wouldn’t it be the most important thing?’

‘But there’s no guarantee that it’ll be useful… … .’

‘We’re not interested.’

‘Then we’ll take it.’

‘Does everyone have any objections?’

Rongrult, which was not an empire at the time, returned with something that was shining most brightly at its center. It was something that I had no idea how dangerous it might be.

[ITEM]

[Magic core of the beginning]

: An orb with huge magical energy. Mana is leaking little by little, but the condition is stable.

A sense of intimidation as if it were oppressing the area.

It’s not that big, so a ball the size of a fist is floating in the glass tube. It was so deep blue that it looked black at first glance.

“Your body will be heavy.”

“It looks more normal than I thought.”

“I thought so too when I first saw it.”

Liden interpreted the text of the tombstone, which is said to be the original text, and sorcery was developed and developed.

At the same time, numerous studies on this marble were conducted in the Empire. Now, the identity has become clear.

“In terms of the concentration of the outer magic we normally encounter, it contains magic twice the size of the Empire.”

“It is terrifying.”

“It’s [compression] beyond cognition. I tried to reproduce something similar, but it was only one in a million.”

“Oh, can I touch that with my hand?”

Kanin suddenly reached over the glass tube and pulled out the magic core.

“Don’t worry. It’s very stable. Just as our bodies can hold on to magic power thicker than the air, this bead will hold up to half the continent’s magic power and stay intact.”

“Do you have a separate place?”

“You can write as much as you want. I just hope it doesn’t get used.”

Eight years ago, when Aindarok’s outpost collapsed, it was said to have been considered for use once. Of course it wasn’t used, so here it is.

“I wonder if it will be used if there is a crisis enough to collapse the northern barrier.”

“Then, as the professor said, it would be better for me to stay here forever. It’s just a pity.”

“haha. It’s not useless at all.”

Hwareuk!

Kanin lit a large flame in his palm. He’s an earthy magician, so he shouldn’t have been able to cast at that size.

“This security warehouse is filled with magic that flows from the magic core. My body is getting heavy, so it must be shocking.”

“Does that mean anything?”

I pretended not to know and asked.

“What? If you’re going to practice magic in a hurry for a day or two, wouldn’t there be a better environment than this? It’s okay to use magic hundreds of times here. Old people like us are blocked by the wall, so there is no need to come.”

That’s it.

A space where the concentration of mana in the air is much higher than the concentration of mana in the body.

Magic is constantly injected, so there is no shortage of magic. There are no restrictions on practice. Is there a more suitable place to raise the magic level?

“It was used by the imperial family until it was brought to Summer Turge. There’s nothing I can’t say about you.”

“Can I come by often?”

“often… … ? For now, I’ll tell you that I gave permission. Never mind.”

“thank you.”

Certified by Kanin.

If something is lost, something must be gained. I decided to eat more raw.

In fact, this is how the ‘criminal’ in the sixth episode has been practicing magic for two years.

Anyway, it went well. There is nothing to shy away from now.

The next day came.

“See you again, Professor.”

“Heh heh, don’t push yourself too hard.”

the third day

“hello.”

“No, why are the blankets and pillows… … ?”

Fifth day… … .

“Good morning, Professor.”

“I looked at the entry and exit list, but didn’t you go out at all?”

“Because it was the weekend.”

After that, another few days passed, and finally the weekend when the lecture was scheduled came.

“Rockstrin.”

“Yes, Professor.”

“Are you sure you’ve been practicing magic the whole time you’re here?”

“So I sleep here too.”

“haha.”

Kanin let out a goofy laugh.

But actually, I didn’t sleep much. The floor was cold when I was sitting on it, so I laid it out.

“I thought it was strange to say that I stop by ‘often’… … I’m sure you know that. Magic doesn’t manifest just because it has magical power.”

“Yes.”

Two ingredients are required to use magic. It is magic and mental power.

“Just as your heart hurts if you lack magic power, even if you have enough magic power, if you use too much magic, your mental power will be exhausted and your head will hurt… … .”

“I can’t use magic because I’m sick.”

“Oops.”

Kanin clicked his tongue.

Thanks to that, for the past few days, I really clung to magic with ease. Excluding classes and meals, I stayed next to the mana core and used magic all day long.

As a result.

The magic ability that had been rotting inside for a long time finally went up a notch as of yesterday.

In a way, it was a natural result.

If I practiced as soon as my mana was restored, I could only practice 1,000 times, but here I was able to practice 10,000 times more.

Of course, I met Ainim several times and talked about the contents of the lecture. Rox’s eyes are dead again, so he heard nagging.

“It’s not strange to pass out in the middle of a lecture.”

“So I slept for three hours today. The condition is perfect.”

“… … I’m looking forward to it. Sometimes I wonder if genius is just a word for crazy people.”

After two days, I went outside and bask in the sun.

It was blinding. Although he was a little tired, his body was rather light because he had been weighed down by magic the whole time.

I’ve practiced this much, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I met Ai-nim, who was waiting in the auditorium.

“Are you all ready?”

“sure.”

“Ugh. Normally, if it was Rocks, I would have said that it was close, or that it was barely finished. This time, I saw that I was full of myself… … .”

The quick-witted kid noticed that right away. Amber eyes widened in surprise.

“Three stars!”

“you’re right.”

“Also, Rocks always gets ahead. don’t lose once I worked hard too!”

“Then you should work harder.”

“Of course. Don’t give up.”

Despite expressing dissatisfaction, Ai-nim had a happy face. As of yesterday, it surpassed the level based on existing theories.

That’s right, it’s only a 3-star, average level of magic. Only one person can do it. That’s a small achievement in just 4 months.

“Yes. An official notice came down yesterday.”

“An official notice?”

“yes. I think I should go to the first library of the Sorcery Society.”

“Yes?”

The center of magic science, the first library is in Riden.

No, how long has it been since you declared war? Does it make sense to send the princess to the enemy country in a situation where it would not be strange to start an all-out war right away?

“Didn’t you admit the charges?”

“I acknowledged it and immediately surrendered. They say they will disclose the original text they requested and even pay compensation for everything, but what should I do? But that and this are different. They said they would discuss a new theory.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

The imagination theory is divided into two parts.

For example, the basic edition was first distributed and spread widely, while the advanced edition was not distributed yet.

If you read all the basics, you can see that there is a corner that is vaguely lacking in explanation. Without the advanced version, it is difficult to understand at once unless you are a genius like Ai.

“Um, I don’t want to give it away.”

They did not disclose the original text, but the empire has no intention of disclosing the theory.

“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

“Ah, please don’t harm me.”

“Nobody knows what’s in their heads.”

“But even if I die, the empire won’t suffer much, right? The theory is that Rocks is there.”

“majesty.”

“Hehe.”

The second princess, Ainim, has a long line of succession, and as far as is known, if I, the co-creator of the theory, remain in the empire, the theory will not be affected.

“I don’t want to worry you, but do you have a desire to be worried?”

“How much do you want to torment me?”

“Actually, I am thinking of something else.”

The child said while rolling her hair.

“If I can get the original text, I’m going to bet the theory in exchange.”

“If it is the original text… … .”

“No matter how hard we try to hide it, the theory will eventually leak out. I’d rather ask them to give it up as a condition of exchange. After all, Sorus’ mages aren’t even half as good as Summer Turge.”

Even if Riden started raising wizards based on the Imagination Theory, it would be difficult for the education to be as seamless as that of the Empire.

Still, since Liden was urgently needed right away, there was a possibility that the exchange conditions would be sufficient.

“I will be leaving soon. I can’t take the Rocks lecture. It’s recorded with a video recorder, so you can watch it when you come back. I was waiting to tell you this.”

“How long will it take?”

“About three weeks? It will be vacation when I come back.”

The 5th and 6th episodes are all covered in 3 weeks.

Both episodes don’t need Aini. Even leaving is much better. Good thing.

“I must be bored.”

“Ah, Rocks has a lot of friends. Ah, it’s time for the lecture to begin soon.”

Broadcasts were streaming from the ceiling. Lecture starts soon.

“I will be back.”

“take care of yourself.”

“Oh, right.”

The imperial family would pay some attention to it, so there was no point in worrying about me.

okay. It’s just that I haven’t seen that stupid, bright guy for a while.

“You can’t get too close with other kids!”

As if time was running out, Ainim left the auditorium waving while being held by Maria’s hand. It’s no wonder that 3 weeks is long.

“I have to do my job well… … .”

mate. patted the cheek

Clear your mind once behind the scenes. Preparations are already over. I push back the curtain and step forward.

It’s already the third time I’ve been in a place like this. Now that I’m used to the burden, it’s time to enjoy it.

It became a rock screen, and also a main character.

Now I have to work as a professor.

there’s nothing you can’t do

“Let’s start the lecture.”
