Arthur, standing in front, spoke to me with a confident smile.

“No matter how talented a magician is, there are bound to be things he misses.”

“yes.”

“Your teacher, the genius wizard Lim Sol, also had a weakness. That’s something I’m good at.”

“Mister, don’t say anything strange and let’s start sparring quickly.”

“Okay, okay. I get it.”

“i look forward to.”

Arthur in front of me did not hide his magic power, but revealed it.

Although his momentum itself was weaker than mine, I had no choice but to acknowledge the confidence and spirit that came from experience.

‘Even though there is such a difference in magical power, the momentum is not lost?’

There is something that cannot be measured simply by the size of force.

Is this the president of the current wizarding society?

gulp.

First of all, before the search.

I swallowed my saliva and drew a magic circle.

And about 10 minutes later.

“Quaaa…?

“uncle Uncle!”

“….”

I blinked as I looked at Arthur lying down in front of me.

Professor Lim Sol, who was watching from the side, approached Arthur and checked his condition, and I thought as I looked at the two of them.

‘This guy is a complete mess.’

I lost too much strength before exploring, so I wanted to see his sincerity, so I threw a slightly stronger spell at him and he collapsed right away.

I never thought I’d lose my strength, but I’d be really weak.

Isn’t this guy the president of the academy? Why are you so weak?

“Hoyeon. If you felt the man’s magic, you should control your strength.”

“No, but I’m the president of the society… Yes, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, I felt unfair, but when I saw Arthur lying down and groaning, I felt like I had done something wrong, so I just apologized.

There is also a will called a long-term will, so I should have been more considerate.

“Off… It’s okay. It’s okay. Sol.”

Arthur staggered, picking up the dark red diamonds around him.

It was my first time seeing that magic, and until it came out, I thought there must have been a ton of them hidden away.

I didn’t know that you wouldn’t be able to stop my spiral for even a second.

“Phew. As expected, it’s hard to move my body after such a long time.”

“President. Are you okay? I’m sorry.”

I bowed my head.

I still don’t know what I did wrong, but for now, I have to bow out.

“No. I’m excited for the first time in a long time… Okay. But I’ve figured it out roughly.”

“Oh… was there a problem?”

Although I was disappointed with Arthur’s combat ability, it is still worth pinning hope on his analytical ability.

Because the professor said he taught me too.

It might even be able to point out problems with combat methods that I don’t know about.

“No. It’s too perfect.”

“… yes?”

But the words that came out of Arthur’s mouth were the opposite of what I thought.

“Sol’s magic power itself was of high purity, but the distribution of magic power was disappointing. And he had a habit of unconsciously using high-level magic. It was probably due to his high pride.”

“Um… yes.”

“But you are perfect. The distribution of magical energy, the type of magic used, reaction speed, quality of magical energy, and the ability to use all attributes like Sol-i… you are literally lacking in nothing. It is safe to say that you are the leading figure who will lead the next generation.”

“….”

I quietly listened to Arthur.

Maybe this is a natural thing to say.

Because I am assisted by [combat sense].

He makes perfect choices in battle.

“In other words, what you need is time. You will probably be able to catch up with Sol in 10 years.”

“10 years?”

“You are a monster, but your teacher is also a monster. It will probably take that long.”

“Huh….”

I sighed in regret and quenched my appetite.

Even 10 years is too late.

‘If this was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have come to learn.’

He collapsed after 10 minutes and was making strange noises.

It took 20 minutes just to walk here.

Isn’t this a very strange old man?

“You look dissatisfied with something?”

I managed my facial expression as I saw Arthur staring at me.

And then he spoke again.

“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied… I’m just disappointed. 10 years is too long.”

“I was giving her a huge compliment in my own way. And Sol is a strong wizard, so even after 10 years, her beauty will still be the same. I can guarantee that.”

“… That’s not the problem.”

I shook my head as I looked at Arthur, who was laughing.

In 10 years, the story will already be over.

I have to catch the demon lord, but what am I going to do if I gradually become stronger like that?

“You seem to be quite disappointed.”

“It’s a bit like that.”

I said I was managing my facial expressions, but it seems like my mood shows on my face without me even realizing it.

But it can’t be helped.

If you say you will give a great solution and then tell me to wait 10 years, of course I lose my temper.

Arthur looked at my face clearly and continued speaking.

“You. Are you familiar with the theory of magic?

“Theory? I still know quite a bit.”

Even if it looks like this, it is the number one theory at the Victoria Academy.

It is safe to say that he is well-versed in most magical theories.

“Surprisingly, there are magicians who don’t value theory. Did you know that? Even if the same person puts in the same magic power and draws the same magic circle, the effect of the magic is different each day.”

“Of course I know. He’s a wizard.”

What Arthur is talking about is a phenomenon that anyone who has used magic cannot fail to understand.

“Yes. It’s a phenomenon that all wizards are aware of, but no one has yet figured out the reason. Most people just think it’s the condition of the day.”

“….”

‘This is an explanation of the core technique.’

I briefly made eye contact with Professor Lim Sol.

The topic we will present this time is an explanation of that phenomenon.

Looking at the professor smiling softly, it seems like he didn’t tell the president of the society.

The president continued speaking without even knowing our thoughts.

“However, there is a thing called intuition. If you work as a wizard for a long time, you are bound to find a magic class that you can use well, regardless of whether your condition is good or bad. And if you advance further, you can create your own magic. Usually, “It takes about 10 years to reach this level.”

Arthur summoned dark red diamonds that orbited his body.

This is the magic I just saw in Dalian.

“That’s called unique magic or vision magic. In my case, these Rune Tracers are unique magic. They track the opponent’s magic power and attack on their own.”

“Unique magic… It’s similar to a unique skill.”

“Yes. However, unique skills cannot be used by others, but the difference between unique magic is that the magic circle can be shared with other people. That is why it is easier to develop.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

Isn’t this guy just talking nonsense after losing?

When I looked slightly suspicious, Arthur spoke immediately.

“If you really want to beat Sol, create a unique magic.”

“I just said you have to be at least 10 years old.”

“By the standards of an ordinary wizard, that would be true. But monsters like you and Sol are different. In fact, Sol uses unique magic as well.”

“You mean that big magic circle?”

“Yes. That’s what you saw.”

“hmm….”

I continued to worry about Arthur’s words.

They say it requires unique magic… .

‘Isn’t that enough already?’

Spiral. Blood Beat. Arc.

Even acceleration and rune barriers follow Nam Da-eun’s characteristics.

There are more than one skill that I created myself.

“Is this not working?”

Again-

I summoned an arc onto my hand.

In the sparring match, Arthur collapsed as soon as he took out the Arc, so he couldn’t use it properly, but since he saw him using magic with the Arc, he probably knows what the skill is.

“That’s not bad. No, actually, it’s amazing. It’s an encouraging achievement to have already created such a unique skill at the age of 20.”

“thank you.”

“If your target wasn’t Sol, I wouldn’t have said anything. You can touch the perfect bud and then go astray. But the moment you set your target as Sol, you need something special.”

“Something special?”

“There are three important things in a wizard’s battle: the power of magic power, the speed of magic power, and the battle of numbers. Even if you use the Arc to overcome the battle of numbers, there is no way if you are defeated by the power and speed of magic power. Therefore, another method is needed. “I will find a way to overcome Sol’s overwhelming magical power. The quickest way is through unique magic.”

“oh….”

I nodded, quite impressed.

After listening, I realized there was nothing wrong with what I said.

This guy teaches pretty well, right?

‘It doesn’t seem like he wasted the position of academic president.’

I like speaking skills.

It has a suction power that makes you feel drawn in when you listen to it.

“The timing is just right. It might be helpful to refer to the presentations from this conference. There are a lot of unusual people at the conference. As far as I know, Douglas has developed a magic that produces a power greater than that of a volcanic explosion… Aiden is said to have taken control of space and used it as his own. You said you were announcing the magic that would build the realm of. And….”

“Wait a minute. Who?”

I didn’t miss the name I suddenly heard.

Aiden.

Apparently, the name of the unlucky guy I met yesterday was Aiden.

“Huh? You mean Douglas? I can introduce you to Douglas. He has a bushy beard, but he’s nicer than he looks….”

“No. Next. You are talking about Aiden, the candidate for the next president of the society, right?”

“Do you know Aiden?”

“I met him yesterday. Can you explain the magic he brought?”

“Aiden’s magic? I don’t know the exact details. I’ve only heard fragments of it.”

“That’s okay. Um, where should we sit and talk first?”

We left the training ground and went into a nearby cafe.

If I had known this would happen, I would have grabbed a cafe from the beginning.

“Yum.”

“Professor, is the chocolate latte here delicious?”

“It’s not bad. It’s sweet enough.”

I sat next to Professor Lim Sol while watching him drink a chocolate latte, and Arthur, who followed behind me, sat across from me.

Arthur asked, sucking on the coffee he had brought.

“Why are you curious about Aiden? If you met me yesterday, you wouldn’t be so curious.”

“… something doesn’t feel right. President, what is your relationship with Aiden?”

“He is a candidate for the next president of the society. There is still quite a bit of time left until my retirement, but if I quit as the president of the society, it is almost certain that I will be elected as the next president of the society.”

“You don’t seem like a guy who’s good enough to be president of a society, do you?”

“That’s right. He’s quite high-level, but… he’s not good enough to be the president of an academic society. But that’s the way politics is. I didn’t know anything about politics until I was this age.”

Arthur shook his shoulders and laughed.

It’s funny that a person who became the president of an academic society would say something like that.

“If it’s not rude, may I ask about the relationship between the president and Aiden?”

“If I were to put it bluntly, he would be static. That guy is not based on merit, but on connections. The wizards who support each other are different.”

“It’s static….”

I gathered my thoughts.

Actually, I have had this idea about Professor Lim Sol for a long time.

Professor Lim Sol is a really strong wizard.

He became stronger after meeting me, but even before that, he was one of the strongest men in the world.

This is undoubtedly true.

However, having experienced the original game, I had doubts every time I saw Professor Lim Sol’s strength.

‘How on earth does such a strong person die?’

In the original’s bad ending, there is a route where Im Sol dies.

It is understandable if the ending is one in which the devil cannot be stopped.

Because the world itself is being destroyed.

However, there was also a route where one died before the Demon King appeared.

At that time, without thinking much, I thought, ‘I see.’ I moved on, but thinking about it now, it feels strange.

That’s why I pay close attention to Aiden, whom I met in the United States.

Considering the time when that guy showed his true feelings, it must be said that he has no interest in Professor Lim Sol.

So why is the next president of the society approaching Lim Sol?

‘It’s not the professor’s magic.’

At first I thought it was magic, but when I think about it, it’s strange.

There are many people in the academic society who keep Professor Lim Sol’s strength in check. This is especially true for network wizards who support Aiden.

If Aiden becomes the president of the society, he should go towards excluding the professor rather than accepting him.

That’s the mindset of networking wizards.

In particular, in Aiden’s eyes, Imsol will be a thorn in his side.

He is a strong supporter of his political enemy, Arthur, and is a stronger wizard than himself.

‘This is it for now.’

There wasn’t enough information about Aiden to make any further inferences.

I quietly looked at Professor Lim Sol next to me.

The professor yawned softly as if he was not interested in Arthur’s story, and turned his head when his eyes met mine.

“…I was listening to everything you said.”

“Yes. I know.”

I smiled involuntarily at the professor’s reaction.

But the anxiety in a corner of my heart did not go away.

I must protect you this time.

You can’t just be cared for forever.

‘Let’s just consider the possibility that it’s that bastard.’

There is mental evidence, but no physical evidence.

Still, it might be enough to keep it in a corner of your head.

I adjusted my expression and looked at Arthur.

“First, please explain the magic Aiden decided to present.”
