Advanced Element Theory Midterm Assessment Question 6 [15 points]

Moon, fire, water, and grass magical powers are all magical powers with the nature of change, but they cannot be used interchangeably in actual change spells. Give a specific example of at least one order and explain the reason and principle.

Answer: This is because the moon, fire, water, and grass symbolize different changes.

The moon and water symbolize cyclical and reversible changes, like the moon waxing and waning and water freezing and thawing. Among them, water is a more fundamental and profound change. The moon merely deceives the light it emits, but water changes itself by freezing and thawing.

Fire and grass symbolize upward and irreversible change, like cast iron becoming steel or seeds becoming trees. Among them, fire governs more unnatural and destructive changes than grass, because while grass brings out the potential of seeds, fire burns trees and breaks the cycle.

In other words, in terms of reversibility of spells, they are reversible in the following order: moon, water, grass, and fire.

Changes made using lunar magic are canceled as soon as the mana supply is stopped.

Changes made using water magic gradually return to their original form if the mana supply is stopped.

Changes using full magical power have a homeostasis that absorbs surrounding mana on its own even if the mana supply is interrupted.

Changes made using fire magic are not restored even if mana supply is interrupted.

Transformation magic power, which is a composite magic power of the moon and beast magic power, is a clear example of this –

Tuesday, April 25th at 11:30 am. Small auditorium on the 3rd floor of Milton Building.

Graven wrote up to this point and released his wrist. He smiled as if he thought he had written it well.

I thought about using my specialty, blood magic, as an example, but since water is an element with ambiguous reversibility, it is not appropriate to use as an answer.

Since the spell that most strongly utilizes the reversibility of moon magic is the transformation spell, using this as an example will get you good marks.

– The reason transformation spells are practical is because they have the safety of immediately returning to human form when the mana supply is cut off. If transformation magic was created using fire and beast combination magic, the caster would have to live in a transformed state for the rest of his life.

very good. I am confident that I will get a good score with this.

I did well in the magic law class a day ago, so if I get good grades in advanced elemental theory-

In the romantic era, my model’s learning ability increases!

The student council and the judging panel announced that midterm exam scores would be reflected in the mid-semester balance patch.

Students who get good grades increase their abilities, and if they get bad grades, their abilities decrease.

Thanks to this, the enthusiasm for learning at the academy has risen to a level never seen before.

After solving all the problems, Graven went into a daydream.

Will learning go up by 1 or 2? It will probably go up by 1, because 2 is too much.

Then you can learn one more spell and move on.

Adds one spell from Water, Beast, and Blood. What order would be good?

Beast magic is mainly used to enhance close combat. It doesn’t really suit me. pass.

Water magic… Ice Prison, Glacial Armor, Torrent, Purification.

That’s fine, but do I have any mana left to cast this?

He frowned.

Come to think of it, my total magical power doesn’t increase anyway.

There is a limit to the spells that can be cast anyway.

no. However, as the number of orders increases, it becomes more flexible…

Does my model need flexibility?

Graven turned the test paper over.

He furiously wrote down the thoughts that had just occurred to him.

The role of my model is tanking using a blood shield, supplying moisture to the terrain with blood pools, and dealing wide-area damage from waves of vampires.

In this role, there is no particular need for 1v1 snipers such as Ice Prison or Torrent.

Glacier armor is meaningless because its role completely overlaps with that of the Blood Shield.

Matchups that require purification are those with a lot of wizards, a single model unit. In other words, since the Vampiric Wave is weakened, you can just remove the Vampiric Wave and add Purification. There is no need to add both.

Graven, who wrote up to this point, was a little disappointed.

This is because he realized that just because the value of his model increases, his crew does not become that much stronger.

Is there really no difference?

no.

There is a difference.

As your learning increases, your points increase!

Graven barely resisted the urge to jump up from his seat.

As your stats increase and your points increase, you must replace other units with cheaper units.

This will have a negative impact on the entire crew.

Right. Just because your ability level increases doesn’t mean it’s a solution.

It is necessary to distribute abilities efficiently and become a character with good effect compared to points.

To do this, there is no need to increase learning. No, you shouldn’t raise it.

Graven turned his gaze to the test paper.

What do we do? Should I spoil it in moderation? So you can keep learning now…

maintain… maintain… Is it best to keep it?

What happens if I lower it further?

He bit his lip to keep his voice from bursting out of excitement.

In fact, it is rare that all three of Blood Shield, Blood Pool, and Vampiric Tide are needed.

In many battles, it is most effective to carry only two of them!

There are only 2 lessons he needs!

“5 minutes left.”

no!

Graven Albatross drew out his pen like lightning.

He furiously started trashing all the answers he had written so far.

square. square. square.

Students in the exam room began to turn their heads at the sound.

Even Gonzalez Marin, who was sitting right in front, broke the rule and looked back.

Even Professor Saraljit, who was supposed to stop this, was shocked by this absurd act and said nothing.

As soon as Graven answered all the questions, the bell rang to signal the end of the exam.

He confidently handed his test paper to Saraljit.

“Graven County.”

“Yes.”

“Where does it hurt? Or did you suddenly feel rebellious?”

“No.”

“Do you even know what you just did? If you do this, you will fail the midterm exam-”

“Failed, right? Aren’t you guaranteed to fail?”

Graven rolls his eyes. Professor Cobra took a step back.

“That… okay. That’s a failing grade.

Even if you get a perfect score on the final exam, it’s hard to avoid a C or D… ”

“I got 92 points in other subjects, so when combined with this, the average is 46 points.”

“Yes, so?”

“Is this enough score for a 3rd grader to get Study 2?”

Saraljit looked at him blankly, as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

That was enough. Graven ran out of the testing room with a winning smile.

González Marin, who was watching this, started chasing him.

“Hahahahaha!”

“Graven! Graven Albatross!”

“How many points will this save? 2 points? 3 points?”

“Grave is!”

Only after the sun’s rays fired by Gonzalez passed by his shoulders did Graven stop running.

“Ah, Gonzales.”

“What did you just do!”

“What are you doing? I erased all the questions to get a 0 on the test.”

A confidence that transcends common sense.

Gonzalez was weighed down by the aura and took a step back, but he managed to come to his senses and fight back.

“The reason you got a score of 0 was to reduce your abilities in the age of romance?”

“Yes. Because the distribution of ability points is clearer that way.”

“Are you crazy!”

The Blue Dragon grade representative opened his mouth as if he could not believe it.

“You… He is one of the best students in Kuroshio’s third year!

They are not just powerful people with a natural aptitude for magical power, but also elites equipped with theory and culture!

This is a man so outstanding that I recognize him as a rival!

But that… At best… Just in the game… ”

“With this, I become stronger in the game.”

“Come to your senses! In reality, you are just weakened!”

Graven tilted his head at Gonzales’ words.

“What does that mean? I can’t believe I’ve become weak.”

“If you get 0 points on the midterm exam-”

“Does that mean that what I learned will disappear? Will my knowledge disappear?”

Perfect theory.

González fumbled around and finally found a rebuttal.

“Yes… There’s a stain on your report card. In the end, no matter what’s in your head, what people see is-”

“Gonzales.”

“Huh?”

“I will become a pirate when I graduate. Do you think the pirate captain will ask for my graduation certificate?”

“Well, until now… ”

“Until now, I had nothing else to do, so I focused on my grades.

Now I have a goal to become the strongest player in the romantic era, so things like that.”

An answer I can give because I am a student studying abroad in the Pirate Republic.

“Still… But how… ”

“Gonzales. surprised. I knew you thought of me as a rival, but I never thought you cared about my future this much-”

“If you throw the test, what’s the meaning of my grades?”

More and more students were gathering after hearing the commotion.

In front of Graven, who raised his eyebrows, Gonzales gave off steam and spoke passionately.

“Even if I get a master’s degree in advanced elemental theory! No one will admit it!

I also showed my report card at the class reunion-”

“Gonzales.”

“Why!”

“Wash more clothes. It still smells like vomit.”

The crowd bursts into laughter.

Graven leisurely left the Milton Pavilion, leaving behind Gonzales, who was devastated.

It didn’t take long for Graven’s logic – that testing lowers learning, and lower learning leads to a more efficient model – to spread throughout the school.

“Coleman County.”

“Why? I’m studying for a test. If I’m not busy, I’ll talk later.”

“That… I received a call from the judging panel… ”

Hwayoung said, lowering her voice slightly.

“I want you to jump right now… ”
