“The magic you will learn today is Fireball.”

The steam cooled slightly.

Fireball is a magic that I finished studying at Park Cheol-soo’s Magic Academy.

“First, let’s find out what role each stroke of the magic circle that makes up the fireball plays.”

The teaching method was not much different from learning at an academy.

A method of floating the magic circle that makes up the magic using a beam projector and explaining one by one the role each stroke that makes up the magic circle plays in realizing the magic.

“The diagonal strokes in the upper left corner are used to control fire power. Firepower varies depending on length and thickness, and horsepower consumption decreases or increases accordingly.”

The moment the magic circle is completed, the magic is also completed.

In other words, this means that the power, shape, size, etc. of the magic are adjusted during the drawing stage of the magic circle and cannot be modified after it is completed.

But I am different.

Since the magic power itself is controlled by will, you can add as much firepower and size to the existing magic as you wish.

The only downside is that modifying a completed spell consumes more magic power than the normal method.

To be honest, this is a shortcoming that was created by squeezing it out.

The difference isn’t so big that you can’t handle it, and the advantages are more obvious.

“We will end the theoretical part here and move on to practice.”

After an hour of magic circle explanation, practice time came.

“We will try to complete the magic circle based on what we have learned so far. “There are no disadvantages to failure, so everyone can do it comfortably.”

After finishing speaking, Professor Go Soo-jae headed towards the entrance of the classroom.

To be exact, it was in the direction of the switch located on that wall.

“Then the protection magic will activate.”

Click!

When he pressed the button, a huge magic circle appeared on the ceiling and floor.

Looking at the form of the magic circle, it seems to be a type that increases resistance to fire magic.

Safety measures are clear.

“Hmm… .”

The guys were so excited that they started drawing magic circles in the air.

Like me, some of the guys who had completed their preliminary training were able to do magic right away.

The guy who made the fireball the fastest was the guy sitting in front of him with bleached hair.

It took approximately 15 seconds.

“Wow… , I completed the fireball in 15 seconds.”

“Special admission students are different no matter what.”

The whispering sounds of other students ring in my ears.

What, is he also a special admission student?

It seems that, unlike me and Lim Na-eun, he was admitted under special circumstances in the first semester.

Professor Go Soo-jae, who happened to be passing by, also looked quite surprised.

“Excellent. The name… ?”

“This is Kim Yun-sik.”

A guy who confidently announces his name.

“The casting speed, the type of magic implemented, and the firepower are all perfect. “You can rest for the rest of the day.”

“Thank you professor.”

Why is that person secretly looking back while greeting the professor?

I am this kind of person, do I want to brag?

One by one, the number of students successfully making fireballs in front of Professor Go Soo-jae increased.

Slowly, I started to worry.

Should I cross the line without attracting enough attention, or should I properly put pressure on this lump of pride that fills the classroom?

Finally, the professor arrived in front of us.

Lim Na-eun, who was sitting next to me, successfully performed the magic skillfully.

It took approximately 20 seconds.

3rd place after 15 seconds and 18 seconds.

Professor Go Soo-jae also praised her with a satisfied expression, as if he was satisfied with this.

“Okay, student Lim Na-eun. “It’s okay to rest.”

“Hehe, thank you.”

Their eyes naturally turn towards me.

The two words ‘Expectation’ are engraved in the rabbit’s clear eyes.

Okay, I’ve decided.

Our rabbit is watching, but we can’t finish it at a reasonable level.

Because Yunsik is 15 seconds… Okay, let’s cut it in half and round it up to about 8 seconds.

It uses the magical energy within the body to arrange the magical energy around it.

My magic basically consists of concentrating magical power, converting attributes, and shaping.

To be exact, it was like that until a few days ago.

But now that talent has blossomed further through traits, the two processes have merged into one.

Now, as magical power gathers together, a change in properties occurs at the same time.

In other words, the speed of casting magic has become even faster.

I intentionally slowed down the speed of magical energy convergence.

There is still quite a bit left until the target time.

5, 6, 7… .

This should be enough.

The final form is added to the flowing mana of the flame.

「Fire Ball.」

Finally, a fireball the size of Lim Na-eun’s small head was completed.

“… … .”

The noisy classroom was enveloped in silence.

Everyone is looking at us with expressions of astonishment.

That expression seems to have no room for the pride that was full of it just a moment ago.

Now there are faces worth seeing.

*

The class, which lasted a little over two hours, finally ended.

The students who had been sitting quietly started coming towards us as soon as class was over.

“Hello, fellow student Dojin Kim! If you don’t mind, please give me some advice… !”

“Oh, get out of my way! I came first, right? Student Dojin Kim! “At least have lunch with me!”

All faces full of academic enthusiasm.

Yes, wizards are naturally beings who live with a passion for learning, so they have to look like that.

When I think that my 8-second fireball awakened the academic passion that was dormant in them, I feel proud.

But I’m sorry.

I have nothing to teach you.

“I’m sorry~ I already have a prior contract.”

After saying that, he immediately grabbed Lim Na-eun’s arm and ran out of the classroom.

Fortunately, it doesn’t bother me by following me.

You have at least some manners, right?

I slowly slowed down my hurried steps.

At that time, Lim Na-eun, who was walking next to me, spoke to me carefully.

“Hey, Dojin. Arms… .”

Oh, I see I was still holding your arm.

“Oh my, I’m sorry.”

I hastily let go of his arm and offered him a sincere apology.

“Oh, no.”

The way he wraps his other hand around my wrist feels very unnatural.

Did I hold on too hard… ?

“Doesn’t your wrist hurt by any chance?”

“Hey, I’m not that weak!”

Lim Na-eun answers with a brave voice.

I finally feel at ease.

“By the way, Dojin, you are really amazing. How to complete a fireball in 8 seconds… ?”

Wow, I learn magic from this taste!

When a pretty girl compliments me, I feel like my self-esteem will skyrocket.

“Hum hum, it’s just because his characteristics are excellent in that area.”

It is said that as rice plants ripen, they bow their heads.

I answered as humbly as possible.

“But it’s still great! “The student who was pushed to second place by you was glaring at you earlier?”

“okay?”

“Yeah, it looked like lasers were coming out of his eyes.”

Actually, I saw it too.

If you don’t feel it in the first place, they will glare at you so openly that it will be a slap in the face.

Jealousy was boiling in my eyes, ‘How dare you give me the attention I should have…’ !’ he seemed to say.

It’s a paraphrase, but it’s probably roughly correct.

“I used magic and I’m hungry! “Let’s go eat.”

“okay.”

We headed straight to the school cafeteria.

Shin Yoo-jeong praises the school here so cheaply and deliciously.

Ugh

Suddenly, the smartphone vibrates.

I took it out and checked and it was Shin Yoo-jeong.

As soon as I could think about it, I saw a phone call coming in, and it seemed like he was not a noble person either.

I answered the phone with a sour attitude.

“why.”

-Where are you?

“I’m on my way to eat with Na-eun.”

-… Wait, I’m coming too.

With those words, the phone hung up.

“who is this?”

“Shin Yu-jeong. “I said I was going to eat, so he said he would come too.”

Lim Na-eun smiles brightly and claps her hands at my answer.

“Great! “I already wanted to say thank you to Yujeong.”

“Let’s go first and wait.”

“Okay, then.”

The campus cafeteria was not far from Da District.

So, we walked leisurely, talking about Osundosun, and arrived quickly.

As I was going straight into the restaurant, a bus stopped in front of the building.

As soon as the door opens, Shin Yu-jeong comes out.

Judging by the way he’s frowning, it looks like there’s something he doesn’t like.

“Yoojeong, hello!”

“uh… , okay.”

As Lim Na-eun greets her brightly, Shin Yu-jeong smiles awkwardly and greets her.

Then he scoots up to the other side of me and pokes my side with his elbow.

“hey… “If I hadn’t contacted you, would you have tried to eat with him?”

It used to growl in a low voice like a tiger, but now it looks like a cute cat.

It feels like the trauma that was implanted in my weak body has almost disappeared.

Is this sex therapy?

… Although I wonder if it can really be called sex.

I answered as bluntly as I could.

“I guess so.”

I haven’t forgotten yet.

The pitiful moment when I was sweating and making excuses because of a text message from my friend.

“… “Are you mad at me?”

“Yes, there is.”

“What.”

When he responded by asking me to say something, I whispered into his ear.

“it is a secret.”

It’s not fun to say it all at once.

Because Shin Yu-jeong is best enjoyed by teasing her.

“This is really… .”

Just as the irritated guy was about to say something, Lim Na-eun intervened with good timing.

“What are you two talking about?”

I immediately shook my head.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“okay… ? “I think I definitely heard something.”

“Let’s go in quickly, I’m hungry.”

“Yes, yes.”

As if pushing Im Na-eun’s back, he entered the restaurant and smiled at Shin Yu-jeong behind him.

He follows closely behind us with jealous eyes.

I’ll tease you all the time you eat, Shin Yu-jeong.
