The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 38



◈ Episode 38 Attribute element class (3)

I looked down at Aidan who had become sullen and was a little embarrassed inside.

‘What’s wrong with him?’

At first I thought he was rebelling against me.

I asked you to stop at that time but are you expressing your secret dissatisfaction because you kept it in your mind that you threw it away?

‘Looking at the reaction it doesn’t seem to be anything like that.’

That look of me feeling truly sorry and not knowing what to do can’t be acting.

In other words Aidan really doesn’t know how to release his own properties which are the basis of elemental magic.

I can’t believe it.

The owner of the rare [Special] type of magic can’t do these basic things?

Isn’t it to the point where a child doing back tumbling can’t walk properly?

‘What should I do with this?’

I thought he was a promising star but looking at the blockage in this area it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Was it because of the unique magic that allowed me to enter Seorn in the first place?

‘Ignoring it like this might be the way to go.’

There is no need to take care of a child who cannot even follow basic classes.

The more you do that the more you’re eating up other students’ precious time.

Isn’t there something I said in the first place when I had first and second graders take the class together?

I have no intention of being considerate of the guy who can’t keep up.

It may be a good thing for me that Aidan who may know my secret is falling behind in class on his own.

okay.

There is no need to be generous.

Because the world is such a cold place.

“Aidan. “What are we going to do now?”

Aidan closed his eyes tightly thinking that it had finally come.

“That’s….”

“You don’t even implement the elements. “Are you going to rebel against me now?”

All eyes of the students were on Aidan and Ludger.

Ludger frowned and looked back at the students.

“Are students who are paying attention to this area now blindly thinking that their implementation is already perfect? “If that’s the case I’ll have to remember it and check it myself.”

Hehe!

The students immediately turned their heads and began to focus on their element again.

Aidan was sweating profusely and didn’t know what to do.

Ludger who was behind his back asked.

“Aidan.”

“…yes.”

“Have you not yet properly manifested the elements?”

“…yes. “Shame on you.”

Aidan wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

All the other students who came here were doing an excellent job of keeping up with the content of the class but I felt like I was being held back because I was falling behind.

Aidan’s admission to Seorn was also due to the fact that some kind of ‘special exception’ was applied and the basic aspects that others could do were still weak.

“What attribute elements can I use? “You know that right?”

“Fire water and wind.”

“Three. “It’s normal.”

I thought it would specialize in more elements since it handles unique magic but that wasn’t the case.

It is basic common sense that the more talented a person is the more elements he or she can handle.

“Then I’ll start with the fireworks.”

“yes yes?”

Aidan wondered if he had heard something wrong from what Ludger said. That was the same for Leo who sat next to Aidan and Tacie who sat behind him.

“I’m going to teach you. “We cannot allow students to fail because they cannot keep up with the first class.”

“Ha but I….”

“I absolutely detest the idea of ​​a guy like that in my class. Disagreements are not accepted. “Concentrate.”

“Oh yes!”

“Gather your magic power. “Basic manifestation is possible right?”

“yes.”

Aidan nodded and created a sphere of magic.

It was a basic course that anyone who was introduced to magic which could not even be called first-level magic could do.

“Imagine converting that magic power into an attribute. “Like I just said it’s a flame.”

“I will try.”

Aidan stared intently at his magic sphere. As if that was all he could do.

Tayce and Leo silently gave Aidan a look of support.

“Keueuung.”

However no matter how much Aidan concentrated it was difficult to properly embody the attribute of flame.

At the moment when I wondered if things could not go on like this Ludger who had been watching silently opened his mouth.

“Don’t overthink things and put your mind at ease. No matter how hard you try to think of a flame in your head it’s difficult at first. So don’t just think with your head feel with your senses.”

“A feeling…?”

“The goal is to contrast the characteristics of the flame with your senses one by one. The first is vision. Imagine the image of a burning fire. “Close your eyes and concentrate.”

“yes.”

Following Ludger’s advice Aidan concentrated and created an image of fire in his mind.

However it was not easy to conjure up in one’s head the shape of fire that kept shaking.

“Concentrate. “Recall the moment in your memory when fire was most intense.”

“Yes yes.”

When I said that I felt like something was coming to fruition.

By concentrating his mind Aidan was slowly able to pull out the most impressive moments from his memory.

─The feeling I had back when I was burning firewood in a country house.

A fire burning in the fireplace.

His own family watching it.

At that time the scarlet fire was shaking and shaking inside the stove.

Ludger’s voice rang in my ears.

“Now think of the sound of fire.”

Instead of answering Aidan carried out Ludger’s instructions.

Grumbling.

The sound of firewood burning at the same time as the fire blowing in the wind.

The swirling embers cooled in the cool air bringing the silence to an end.

The puzzle pieces were put together in Aidan’s mind one by one.

Ludger’s voice was heard.

“Next is smell.”

No it was closer to leading him deep inside.

Aidan explored the depths of unconsciousness.

The acrid smell produced by fire burning firewood. At the same time I could also feel the faint scent of charcoal.

Aidan’s family even cooked stew over such a fire.

“Since there is no sense of taste think of touch as the last thing. “It’s about reflecting on the sensations you felt on your skin when you faced the fire.”

Following Ludger’s guidance Aidan evoked memories of the past like a painting.

The senses put together one by one clearly brought back memories of the past.

And I was able to think of it.

8 years ago.

A cold winter with snow falling.

It was a snowstorm raging outside the dark blue window.

He wrapped himself in thick clothes to avoid the cold and put firewood into the stove to keep the burning fire from going out.

The two younger sisters clung to Aidan whining that they were cold.

So the whole family sat together in front of the stove and ate together.

My younger siblings were talking my mother was nagging me and my father was looking at them and smiling softly.

I couldn’t eat the fancy food and the cold wind blew through the gaps in my clothes that weren’t properly angled. Obviously the memory of that time is as vivid as what I felt just a moment ago.

The fire wasn’t hot.

It wasn’t scary.

only.

The flame I felt at that time was so warm.

I remembered being able to spend the cold winter comfortably.

“That’s it.”

“ah.”

Aidan opened his closed eyes at the sound of Ludger’s voice as if it were ripples on the calm surface of the water.

And saw.

A small sphere of flame burning before my eyes.

“…!”

Aidan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

It was as if he had brought back the warm flame that existed in his memories.

It was warm rather than hot and gentle rather than destructive.

I really implemented this?

“It’s pretty good.”

Aidan felt dazed by Ludger’s praise.

Ludger who instead of praising students who were called geniuses only harshly criticized them spoke words of praise for the first time.

I don’t know if that could be called a compliment but Ludger said something positive.

Other students who had been trying to pretend not to pay attention and prick their ears were also shocked by Ludger’s words.

“That flame goes beyond the common elements and can be said to be your own flame. Rather than following others and blindly implementing only what others have taught you are expressing the element of fire that you yourself feel. Aidan. “It’s your own magic.”

“Is this my magic?”

Aidan stared at the sphere of flame he had created as if half his soul had gone out.

Is it because I lost concentration?

Hwareuk.

The fire disappeared like a mirage without a trace.

But I felt like the reverberations were still lingering before my eyes.

“Aidan.”

“Yes sir.”

“Don’t forget that feeling.”

Ludger left those words and moved on to find the next student.

Aidan still felt like he was dreaming.

Leo and Teish who were watching anxiously from the side tapped Aidan’s arm.

“Aidan. “You’re amazing!”

“How did you just do that?”

“Uh huh?”

Ludger’s praise for Aidan fueled the motivation of the students who had not yet been evaluated.

Ludger glanced at the students and opened his mouth.

“You may have noticed but this is the method I was going to teach you before starting this lecture.”

The students all perked up their ears.

“It’s the application of the senses through experience.”

The students waited for the next explanation when they heard the term application of the senses.

“Attribute elements must be based on a basic understanding of the element. Even a three-year-old knows that fire is simply hot and ice is simply cold. “If you are a true wizard you must put something special into it.”

“Special?”

“Remember it not as a vague memory of encountering the element you wish to manifest but as a powerful moment in which you actually encountered it. “You feel the elements with all five senses not just sight.”

Don’t just follow with your eyes.

Feel the elements with your five senses.

When that advice was followed students everywhere responded with joy.

“Uh huh? It’s done!”

“and! “It’s much better than before!”

The students who felt joy in learning magic focused even more on not forgetting this lesson.

Ludger’s words were not lies.

By remembering and embodying the elements more carefully based on memory and experience a much more intense element was realized than before.

Even the feeling of the element itself changed depending on experience and inclination.

It has its own color applied.

At that moment a strong shout erupted from one side.

“omg. crazy. “What is that?”

“Stacked elements? “You’re already using that?”

At the center of the astonished gaze was Flora Lumos.

She created an element with a confident expression.

To be exact it was a combination of two elements into one.

Flame and ice.

The shape of the burning fire had turned into light blue ice. However it was moving albeit little by little as if it was wiggling.

It was a so-called frozen flame.

‘joy. ‘This is nothing.’

At first Flora planned to create just one attribute element.

This is because I thought it would be enough to just do it enough to avoid getting caught by Ludger.

She had already learned how to embody the elements through her five senses and thanks to her unique magic synesthesia she was able to embody the attributes much more completely than others.

However when Ludger carefully taught a first-grade boy and even praised him at the end.

Something hot rose up in Flora’s heart.

Her pride wouldn’t tolerate this situation.

‘Let’s see if mine isn’t praised as well.’

Simply implementing one element perfectly is not enough.

She was Flora Lumos.

A magical favorite who has never let go of the title of genius even within Seorn.

Wouldn’t it be a blow to one’s pride if the magic one uses is only a single element?

So she created two elements.

Flame and ice can be said to be opposites.

If the two magical techniques are coordinated and intertwined so that they do not interfere with each other fire and ice can coexist.

Rather each individual’s characteristics are combined to form a new form.

Like right now.

Overlapping of elements that can be considered an advanced level of <attribute element>.

Flora Lumos was able to easily combine two elements.

Flora suddenly felt greedy.

I thought it was because I was in a strangely good condition and mentally heightened.

By now I might be able to successfully stack triple elements which I couldn’t do before.

‘Frozen flame. If you add a wind elemental spell here and make it swirl.’

A magic created by overlapping two spells.

Flora started making another new recipe.

3 stacks of elements with one element added to the existing 2 element stacks.

It was a magic that always failed but for some reason I felt like it would work now.

When I thought about how Ludger’s face would be ruined after completing this I couldn’t help but laugh already.

It didn’t take long for Flora’s complexion to change.

‘Huh?’

Flora was the first to ‘see’ with her own eyes.

The moment the three colors are about to mix beautifully their shapes suddenly become misaligned and they begin to collide with each other.

A foul smell seeped through her nose.

That means only one thing.

It was when the magic went in a different direction than her intention and failed.

‘no!’

In the end greed led to anger.

The three attributes collided with each other creating intense energy.

Flora gritted her teeth and tried to suppress it but it wasn’t as easy as she thought.

The magic had already passed its critical point and was beyond her control.

The three elements merged into one and began to emit increasingly intense light.

“Huh?”

“Now wait a minute.”

The students also realized that something was strange due to the strong magic felt in the center of the classroom.

“Flora? Flora! “Stop it now!”

Her best friend Cheryl who was sitting next to her shouted but Flora could not answer.

Biting her lip all she could do was desperately suppress the magical power that was about to run wild.

But gradually I began to lose power.

‘We have to stop it somehow!’

If things continue like this it will explode.

In that case Flora surrounded herself with a magical barrier determined not to cause at least no harm to those around her.

Even if the magic goes out of control like this the storm of magical power will not spread outside.

And Flora closed her eyes tightly.

That moment.

A warm feeling touched her hands.

“uh?”

Flora opened her eyes.

Ludger was standing in front.

Facing her both hands gently wrapped around the back of her hand as she held on to her magic as much as possible.

How? It was clearly a magical barrier.

Ludger who easily broke down the magic barrier and came in added his magic and said.

“Concentrate. Flora Lumos.”

“Mr. Seo?”

“Don’t give up and control your magic.”

Flora stared into Ludger’s eyes with a blank gaze.

Ludger’s eyes showed no signs of fear despite the explosion of magical power that might explode at any moment.

“I will help you.”
