The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 37



◈ Episode 37 Attribute element class (2)

Some students looked puzzled.

It is also not good to arouse curiosity and not tell the truth right away.

Ludger pointed to a student sitting in the front row.

“The student in the front row there. “Is it Anthony?”

“yes yes! you’re right. teacher!”

“Which attribute elements can a student use?”

“That is… water ice and plants.”

“Is it three? It’s appropriate. “Of them which one are you most confident in?”

“It’s the ice element.”

“Then can you manifest the ice element here and now?”

Antony responded that he understood what Ludger said and floated a sphere of magic above his right hand.

The basic release of magic power began and the properties of magic began to be included in earnest.

Pure white sphere.

To be exact it was closer to a ball of snow pressed tightly with a hand.

“It’s normal.”

“Thank you.”

“It means it’s insignificant.”

“….”

Anthony’s face sank glumly at Ludger’s words.

“Watch what I do.”

Ludger floated a magical sphere in his right hand.

It was a chunk of ice similar to the one Antoni had made.

It was very similar to Anthony’s but something was different.

No it was still changing.

“Can you feel it?”

The students were unable to respond to Ludger’s words. He was just staring at the block of ice he had created as if he were possessed.

If what Anthony made was about the size of a big eye.

The element floated by Ludger is much colder and sharper than that and feels like an ice cap sleeping deep underground in the northern continent.

Ludger’s element is not just white and round ice but is more strongly compressed and takes the form of a snow crystal.

The blue crystal radiated a cold chill to the surroundings creating the illusion that the classroom itself would be covered in ice.

“Can you tell the difference?”

Ludger eliminated the decision.

However the students still stared blankly at the spot where the element was.

Although they were the same ice element Ludger and Antony’s were very different.

Because it uses more horsepower?

Not so. The efficiency itself was different.

And this is exactly what Ludger wanted to teach us today.

“It’s really something different right?”

“How on earth did you do it?”

The atmosphere in the classroom gradually heated up.

I didn’t know it when I heard it but seeing it in person made me greedy.

There is no wizard who would say no to something that will make their magic skills better.

“Out of the two hours of class today 30 minutes will be devoted to basic theory and the remaining time will be spent learning how to increase the expression efficiency of the attributes I have taught you.”

The students all focused on Ludger’s words with their eyes shining brightly.

“Before going into the principles of manifestation I will go into the basic theorem about <property elements>. “That’s exactly what I shared.”

All students glanced at the content written on the handout.

“Attribute elements are specializations with such a deep history and lineage that they appeared immediately after the release of magical power in the world of manifestation.”

Magic can only be used if you have magical power.

And the magic of the beginning a very primitive form of magic is based on the manifestation of this magical power.

That is the first specialization of the manifestation world.

It was <release of magic power>.

What developed from the release of such magical power is the <attribute element> which contains natural elements in magical energy.

“Nowadays they are established as part of the world of manifestation but in the early primitive forms of magic elementals were said to be the foundation of all magic.”

Ludger said that and floated four magic spheres in the air.

“Currently it has been established through natural science to express the power of a system that matches one’s magical power but in the early days when expressing attribute elements the focus was on the relationship between nature and humans.”

Each sphere of magic began to take on a unique attribute.

Each one was fire water earth and wind.

“These are the first four attributes. Compared to now when the number of attributes has increased to more than 10 the number is very small and simple. But we cannot simply view this as an attribute. “These four major elements do not mean pure elements but contain the symbolism that people thought of at the time.”

The soil is hard and strong.

Fire is powerful and destructive.

Water is soft and compliant.

The wind is freedom.

The students listened to Ludger’s words as if they were fascinated.

Theoretical teachings about origins should just be boring.

But no one found it boring.

‘joy. ‘I already know everything.’

Flora was very dissatisfied with that.

As someone who knew all about the origins of the elements anyway having to listen to what I already knew again was an extremely boring ordeal.

However even though I knew that my pride was hurt at the sight of myself subtly falling in love with Ludger’s voice.

‘really. ‘What’s so fun about something like that?’

“Afterwards attribute elements continued to develop and began to be analyzed from a rational perspective rather than natural symbols. “The number of elements increased from 4 to 10.”

‘I keep saying things I already know over and over again.’

“Conflicts also arose between the mystical school which valued tradition and the natural science school which sought further development by applying modern science.”

‘He just has a handsome face and a nice voice.’

“But ultimately we have no choice but to adapt to changes in the world. “How to use this natural magic not the school’s teachings.”

‘…Still it’s worth listening to.’

Ludger who removed the magic that was floating in the air glanced around the classroom and asked a question.

“Is there any student who knows why elemental magic has developed so dramatically? I will give 5 store points to the person who guesses correctly. An example is the fire element.”

The students immediately raised their hands.

Ludger pointed out people one by one.

“there.”

“It is to light the fire and drive out the darkness.”

“Wrong. next.”

“It is to clear the forest by burning it.”

“It’s formal. next.”

“Uh um. Is it to eliminate humanity’s primal fear of the dark?”

“It would be better for you to write poetry.”

Laughter broke out among the students.

Flora Lumos who had not heard haughtily raised her hand.

“okay. Flora Lumos.”

“To burn something to death.”

That moment.

There was silence in the classroom.

Because Flora’s words were that direct and unconventional.

“Can you tell me exactly what that something is?”

“Of course it’s a person.”

The students froze and rolled their eyes.

Everyone here had the same thought. Ludger will strongly reprimand Flora.

But Ludger nodded instead.

“That is correct. Flora Lumos. “It’s 5 stores.”

Really?

Flora cocked her nose and said it was no big deal.

The students’ gaze rested on Flora and then turned to Ludger again.

Ludger opened his mouth as people looked at him as if he was asking if it was true.

“For what purpose was elemental magic developed? “It is slaughter.”

After civilization was established and took shape magic continued to develop.

As the hierarchy was divided and the hierarchy of magic increased the power became stronger and the killing power increased.

okay.

It is ‘lethal power’.

“The first target was a monster. However even after the monsters were driven out to the Continent of Shadow beyond the giant’s spine the magic grew stronger. Why? Because of the Cryptid? But there are very few cryptids. So then for what purpose did magic become stronger and sharper?”

It’s human.

Magic developed to kill humans.

war. colonial rule. violence.

That is the driving force that further strengthened and developed magic.

This was a time of peace with no war.

For students learning magic those words were almost like a taboo.

You compare magic with history and tradition to something like murder.

Ludger was basically telling everyone here that you are all would-be murderers.

But this was an indisputable fact.

It was also a reality that wizards who valued tradition steadfastly denied.

“Fire is used to burn people water is used to drown people wind is used to cut something and electricity is used to protect someone. Magic which developed along with human history grew with the driving force of war and slaughter. That is a truth that can never be denied. okay. In the end this attribute we learn is the Tower of Babel built on the blood and corpses of countless lives.”

Take a moment to take a breath.

Ludger continued.

“You who learn that are the executioners of that slaughter.”

Gulp.

The classroom was so quiet that the sound of someone swallowing could be heard throughout the room.

That’s why the topic Ludger talks about is sensitive to all wizards not just students learning magic.

“But we can change it.”

And Ludger’s voice is heard.

It gently enveloped the entire classroom.

“Just because it was like that in the past there is no guarantee that it will be like that now or in the future. Now that the world has changed fire is no longer used to burn something. “Look at the back of the handout I gave you.”

Now that I think about it there was a handout handed out as soon as I entered the classroom. I was so focused on Ludger’s teachings that I forgot about them.

The students quickly turned over the handout and looked at the contents on the back page.

There were crude photographs of various structures printed in ink.

However there was no difficulty in recognizing the picture itself.

“Fire does not simply burn but provides energy through its burning power. “In cold places fire is a symbol of survival not destruction.”

The flowing water turns the watermill and the river where the water gathers becomes a passage through which countless ships can travel.

The wind turns windmills and provides wind power and electricity itself replenishes energy and creates light.

Water and ice relieve the heat in the burning desert.

“The meaning of the attribute elements changes depending on how we who learn this act in the future.”

Ludger’s voice echoed through the classroom.

To create something not to destroy it.

Not to erase the world but to lead it in a better direction.

“That is the basic attitude you must learn before learning the elements.”

No one was allowed to open their mouth.

I felt like a big wave was coming and swallowing my whole body.

However rather than discomfort what I felt was a sense of exhilaration as if something had been removed from my head.

Even Flora Lumos stared at Ludger with her mouth wide open.

Although it is obvious and lip service.

Since Ludger did it himself and not anyone else the feeling of approaching was different.

“Strive for a better world. The teachings of my attribute elements are lessons for that.”

Ludger smiled at the students and came down from the podium.

“Now we will begin implementing elements in earnest.”

The students gathered in the classroom began implementing elements in earnest.

You can basically understand which element you are specialized in from the moment you first learn magic.

Children who had been taught magic before entering Seorn easily created magical power and added their own elements to it.

Ludger slowly walked around the classroom pointing out the elemental spheres created by the students one by one.

“Joseph. Concentrate the flow of magical power a little more. The element itself is fine but the release of magic power is immature. And you are still a second year student at Seorn? “Don’t lose focus.”

“Yes yes!”

“Irena Caroman. Have you made it a plant attribute now? The plant properties themselves must contain the freshness of nature. But yours is like seeing leaves rotting on the ground in late fall. Get your mind straight. “Try to create a strong image in your mind of a sprout that has just broken through the ground.”

“yes….”

Ludger had nothing to say kindly. Every time he said a word the students’ faces fell miserably.

But what is even more unfair is that Ludger was not wrong at all.

More than that his advice was very accurate.

It may seem harsh but Ludger clearly saw the students’ weaknesses and at the same time provided guidance on how to become better.

When you first hear it it may seem like your pride is hurt but when you think about his words carefully you realize that he is not just making fun of things.

However it is also true that Ludger’s Spartan teachings themselves can be scary to young students.

Every time Ludger took a step toward where he was the students were so focused on Ludger that they were unable to implement the attributes properly.

Every time that happened Ludger’s nagging came.

“What are you doing now? Does magic seem like a joke? “If you can’t stay focused it’s not worth taking my class.”

“I’m sorry!”

“Pay more attention to your magic before speaking. “Close your ears and keep your eyes straight ahead of you.”

“Yes yes!”

One by one.

Every time Ludger passed by the students’ voices spread like ripples creating harmony.

Aidan a commoner boy attending Ludger’s class broke into a cold sweat as he watched the teacher getting closer and closer.

Because

This is because Aidan has not yet been able to properly manifest the attribute elements.

Stand tall.

Ludger stopped in front of Aidan.

His sharp gaze was directed at Aidan who could do nothing.
