“Uh… Have you ever seen me spar?”

“Hmm… I’ve never seen it from beginning to end. So, give it a try here.”

“Okay.”

Professor Zhan, you don’t need to worry. No, if you worry about it, you’ll probably get angry. Are you ignoring me?

All you have to do is tell me before using magic.

“Phew…”

Of course… that would be good.

It would be better to use a technology that has been used a few times rather than a new technology that has not yet been perfected.

Hehehe

“Let’s begin.”

“Yes.”

Mana surrounded Professor Zan. It was not magic, but just a barrier using mana.

Therefore, there is no need for chanting.

I want to make something like that too…

Let’s focus first.

Close your eyes and raise your mana.

“Hoo.”

Professor Zhan looks on with a slightly surprised expression.

He seemed surprised by the amount of mana that was greater than expected.

That would be because, by now, his mana amount would be almost the same as his father’s.

I gathered mana in my right hand and stretched it towards the sky.

“Absolute zero”

Hwii…

The wind stops blowing and the water vapor in the air freezes in place.

The surrounding grass was also frozen and frozen, shaking in the wind.

“Haa..”

White breath comes out and disperses in the air and disappears.

Standing at the center of the frozen world that had turned completely white, I looked at Professor Jeanne.

“Is this enough?”

“Fuha!”

Professor Jan, who was holding his stomach and laughing, stopped laughing only after a long time had passed.

“Hey.. this is a product. I had some expectations since I heard he was that monster’s disciple… but this is beyond my expectations, right?”

“Thank you.”

“.. At this level, he would be so arrogant that he would be rude.. but he doesn’t seem to be like that either.”

I was a little embarrassed by Professor Jan’s generous praise.

It’s not that I don’t like receiving compliments, but anyone would feel that way if they were constantly hearing them face to face.

“Hmm… But you can’t double chant? This is a bit strange…”

“Is that so..?”

Professor Jan, who was holding my chin and thinking deeply, suddenly put his hand inside my clothes.

“Let me take a look at the mana circuit for a moment.”

“Eh.. Eh? Wait a minute..!”

“Ayit..! Just stay still!”

Even if we look at common sense on Earth, this could be considered sexual harassment.

However, this is a world where men and women are reversed… If you look at it from Earth’s perspective, it is the same as a male professor putting his hand inside a female cadet’s clothes.

This is an act of which there is nothing to be said even if one is immediately taken to prison.

“Where are your hands now!!”

“Ha.. This is why men.. stay still so I can touch my heart!”

“Aik! Really!!”

After fighting for a while, the winner was Professor Jan.

Professor Jan closed his eyes and placed his hand on my heart for a moment before slowly removing his hand.

“Ugh.. Just touch my heart..?”

“Ugh.. wouldn’t the professor say that?”

“Yes. If it’s for educational purposes, I don’t think anyone would think anything of it, right?

When I said that, it started to seem like I was overreacting.

I’m the one who suffered…? this is right..?

“Keuhm.”

Professor Jan cleared his throat once to change the topic.

“Anyway, there was no major problem with the mana circuit. However, there is something a little strange.”

“.. What is that?”

“Hmm.. In order to use the magic that the cadet used now, the mana circuit had to be awakened at least twice.”

“.. Mana circuit awakening?”

“Yes. It looks like there hasn’t been a single awakening… Maybe it’s because of the ridiculously large amount of mana… For some reason, I’m using it without awakening. It looks like if you use that much magic about 3 times, all the mana will disappear.”

You can get this much information just by putting your hand on the heart?

I didn’t initially doubt it, but at this rate, Professor Zhan’s skills are certain.

And the strange thing the professor said… I guess it’s because of the status window…

“Then what should I do to do double chanting?”

“Awakening of the mana circuit. As I said before, you have to awaken twice to do it, but I think once is enough for a cadet.”

“Then how do you awaken?”

“Hmm.. did you know that when using magic, mana consumption decreases as you gain proficiency?”

“Ah. I know that.”

Because my father always said that I needed to improve my skills.

I used magic quite hard and consumed mana, but maybe that wasn’t enough.

“In fact, to awaken the mana circuit, you need to learn a new magic. When you try using magic in a way you’ve never used it before. In those two cases, it goes up the fastest.”

“.. I can already use all low and intermediate elemental magic..?”

“So, it’s strange. In order to use magic, you have to train for a long time, and through that training, you directly increase your mana circuit and your proficiency increases..”

“.. Ah..”

“Hmm? Why are you like that?”

“I.. I didn’t have that training..”

“?”

Professor Zahn begins to look at me with strange eyes.

But it’s true.

When using magic, I was able to use all the magic in just one day, let alone training for a long time.

Because you could use it just by reciting the chant once.

I have never experienced increasing the mana circuit.

“.. Is that possible?”

“.. It is possible..”

“Huh.. so talented..”

Talented… yes, that would be the word that suits me best…

To be exact, the characteristics may be fraudulent.

“Ha… Anyway, I figured out why I can’t use double chanting.”

“.. Then.. how should I do it?”

“You can just do what I said earlier.”

“You mean using magic in a way that has never been used before?”

“Yes. So, try it quickly.”

“.. Yes?”

I looked at Professor Jan with a puzzled look, urging me to hurry up and give it a try.

Shouldn’t we at least tell them how to do it?

“It’s not set in stone, so you can try using it around. Keep creating things you’ve only imagined before.”

“.. I understand. Let’s give it a try.”

There is no set frame…

The intermediate elemental magic I can use right now are fire, water, earth, wind, electricity, and ice.

These are the things I always imagined. And the idea is to try something made of only one element.

“.. Should I try that..?”

It was hard to come up with a proper idea, so I just did it once and stopped.

“Flamma.”

First of all, the element is the element of fire and its form is.

It’s a sword.

Grumbling!!

RURRR!!!

The problem is that it takes too long to transform these.

Rather than being summoned all at once, the sphere of fire is stretched out and given shape.

By that point, more than 20 seconds had passed.

However, if you take a rough shape, the destructive power is significantly reduced.

A wizard whose lifeblood is speed and destructive power becomes a third-rate wizard even if he has a flaw in either of them.

Grumbling!!!

“Phew.. 15 seconds at the fastest..”

Still, perhaps because I had a lot of experience using various magics recently, my speed was a little faster than when I first tried it, but I couldn’t go any further than that.

It would be easier to catch the form of the fire element with a sword, but…

But… Phoenix. If we go to the East, we cannot give up the ‘phoenix’.

If I had planned to do things differently from the beginning, I wouldn’t have made Hyeonmu with water.

“Oh.. The flow of mana is definitely improving. Let’s add it quickly.”

“.. Okay.”

Even though it was complicated in my head, it wasn’t a bad feeling because I was able to achieve results.

Sword… Is the shape of the sword the problem… Or…

I’d rather practice making it into a phoenix.

Good luck!

A new sphere of fire appeared and the original flame sword disappeared.

“Phew…”

It starts from the center of the sphere and extends forward, backward, left and right, and downward.

The wings are burning red to the left and right, which are expanding rapidly. The neck is extending most slowly in the front. A tail and legs that extend at a speed between the two.

“Ugh…!”

okay. It always ended here.

My right hand started to tremble as if it was overloaded. When I opened my eyes, I saw blood vessels that were swollen and almost bursting.

And in a little while.

Thing!

“Keuuu!!”

The mana circuit is forcibly closed.

It feels like the mana circuit senses danger right before it explodes and forcibly blocks the output. Since it wasn’t even mentioned in the book, it doesn’t have a specific name.

I just named it Limit for convenience. That’s exactly the right thing to say…

“Wait a minute!!”

“Ugh..? Why are you like that?”

As I was looking at my right hand with the limit, Professor Zahn grabbed my right hand.

When I asked in surprise at the sudden action, he closed his eyes as if concentrating.

“.. How is this..”

“.. Why are you doing that..”

I’m a little nervous.

There is a saying that if you force a computer to shut down, its lifespan will wear out quickly.

It is natural to worry that the mana circuit might be similar to that.

He’s been using a lot of swords lately, but he’s essentially a wizard.

But Professor Zhan’s expression darkened.

“.. Even if something big happens..”

“.. Damn..”

If Professor Zan uses harsh words… it’s quite difficult…

“Fucking talented!!!!!!!”

“.. Yes..?”

All the tension in my body disappeared and I began to wonder.

What happened that made you yell like that?

“.. What’s going on..”

“You damn talented people.. go out and die..”

“…”

Professor Jan’s grudge against talented students continued for over an hour.

“Phew.. Forget what it was like a moment ago.”

“.. Okay..”

I feel sorry for Professor Jan, but he will probably remember this for the rest of his life.

The sight of him throwing his head on the ground while cursing talented people…

“I asked you what happened earlier.”

“Yes.”

“The changes taking place in the cadet’s body right now are a blessing… and a curse.”

“What is that…”

“Ha.. So..”

Professor Jan pointed to my heart with his right index finger.

“The cadet’s mana circuit is now being deified.”
