Academy Munchkin Enslaved

4 – Magic, this isn’t a big deal.

“It’s okay to leave.”

The door closes and the slave leaves the office.

Academy in the middle of the night with no one left, only protection magic humming and operating.

The academy’s professor, Lydia Grimstone, sighed deeply and threw herself onto the soft sofa.

Her appearance gleamed in the moonlight, with black hair that was unbelievable for her professor’s age.

“You’re faster than I thought… I still have 10 years left. No, maybe it is as prophesied.”

From noble mtl dot com

Even if it’s a normal monster, it doesn’t have such a vicious appearance.

A clear sign of prophecy.

10 Years before the demon king appeared, the foreshadowing phenomenon gradually appeared, and the hero grew as he dealt with them.

To sum it up, it was such a prophecy. And, just like the prophecy, little by little, monsters whose shapes became unrecognizable began to appear in various places.

And just in time, during the repair period of the academy’s hemp defense barrier, a crack was found and the monster entered the academy.

As for the barrier, Lydia simply finished her repairs, and there were no signs of invasion by other monsters.

It was resolved safely, but the reason Lydia’s head was pounding was somewhere else.

“Maybe… “

The existence of a hero who was summoned by spending a vast amount of magical power. It was that pathetic man who had just left the room.

The warrior was summoned incorrectly, and a Hanyang without any abilities appeared.

As predicted, if the hero did not play his role properly, it was clear that a lot of damage would be done to deal with these monsters in the future.

Still, I can survive with the current situation for a few years, but…

The strength of a warrior is essential to stop the mutant monsters that are getting stronger.

In order to deal with the demon king who will appear 10 years later, all the more.

“We can’t expect anything from stupid knights, and if we can use the ancient 7th tier magic, there will be hope, but… “

No matter how you think about it, the future of the continent was bleak for now.

I just hope that the time for the new summoning will be advanced.

“By the way… There were obviously already signs of damage.”

When delivering mutant monsters to the laboratory. Apparently, Lydia had clearly discovered that there were other traces left on the monster that he didn’t make himself.

It wasn’t like that in the first place, it was a clear burn mark that seemed to have appeared a while ago. Judging by the slight sense of mana, it was a trace of fire-type magic.

“I can’t believe that slave… “

There was only one pathetic male slave who could have been a hero.

In the first place, the area around the academy is in a corner, so other people do not approach it.

It meant that there was no other person who could use magic.

“As expected, that… Probably not.”

But Lydia shook her head and erased the ridiculous imagination.

The alien who was summoned only 4 months ago uses magic? It was absolutely impossible.

The study of magic is very complicated and profound, so it takes half a year to learn how to calculate the first level 0 magic.

The shorter the period is, the more geniuses, and sometimes those with the talents of a great mage, realize how to calculate the magic circle on their own.

However, it takes more time for his magic skills to increase to the level where he can damage monsters.

For a slave of only 4 months to cause that much damage to a monster without proper training,

“That would be impossible even with a goddess.”

It is impossible.

It took Lydia nine months to use her first tier offensive magic.

It was not a matter of ability, but meant that it was practically impossible. Even if that slave was a great genius, it was impossible.

The explanation that there was a fight with another monster outside the barrier was more appropriate.

That slave is just an alien without any skills.

She took aliens from the academy as slaves just in case, but as a result of her observations, she didn’t really have any special abilities.

On the contrary, he was so good at slave work that it was almost like he was a slave in his previous life.

I didn’t have the nerve to focus on him anymore.

“It’s gloomy… The future of the continent.”

Lydia put her thoughts of her petty slave aside,

She

Instead of going home and going to sleep, she chose to spend the rest of the night in a silent academy where she was alone and indulging in meditation.

“I didn’t feel like I was caught.”

Professor Lydia.

Fortunately, she was able to save her life thanks to her quick appearance.

In modern times, there is a professor who is in charge of the barrier with the concept of duty, but Professor Lydia seems to have played that role this week.

The duty on duty that changes every week does not reside in the academy, but it is said to be the first to run to when something happens by pouring one’s mana into the barrier.

Anyway, I, who was at the scene, was able to return to the lodging after receiving a brief investigation from Professor Lydia.

I was worried that he would be caught using magic, but he said he was just taking a walk, so he passed without much doubt.

You probably never imagined that a slave like me would use magic.

“Miya must have returned, right?”

Professor Lydia said she encountered another female slave along the way. Maybe that’s what Miya is for her.

You’ve probably run into Professor Lydia and been ordered to return to her quarters.

I’ll go visit it tomorrow during break time and check the status.

“More than that, magic… Isn’t it a big deal?”

I thought magic was calculus, so it wasn’t a big deal. No, it was even simpler than what I was researching as a graduate student.

It’s just that the calculations are more complicated than necessary. Even that wasn’t a problem.

Isn’t it possible to apply that much power with just the magic called the foundation?

If you study this a little more…

“If you go to the library, there will be related books.”

Of course it is impossible for a slave like me to go into the library and study confidently.

However, if you ask the slave who cleans the library to do it for you, you can easily enter.

Until now, it wasn’t just one or two things that increased like this. He will probably give up his seat without saying anything.

No, they would rather like it. Because your job is getting smaller.

The cleaning time of the library is late after the cadets’ dinner, so there is plenty of free time to study.

“If you learn magic… Maybe me too… “

Maybe you can escape from this beggar life.

A hero to save the world? I have no intention of becoming anything like that. I don’t even have that ability.

I just need to be able to fully protect my body.

Because I am so tired of this kind of slavery now. Magic is more fun than you think.

The next day, I went to Miya and said my regards, found out who was in charge of the library, and was able to transfer even the right to clean the library.

I didn’t really need to say anything, and when I told him that he had to see me to clean the library, he gave in on his own.

Perhaps it was good that she could rest a little faster.

***

“I see… That’s why Fireball is a first-tier magic.”

The cadets went back to the dormitory and left alone in the library.

I finished cleaning very quickly and devoured books on the basic theory of magic.

It was a bit intimidating at first because it was thicker than necessary, but the meaning was clear and it didn’t take that long.

“Basic magic such as fire, wind, water, and trance are 0 tier magic. And based on the basic magic, you have to draw a complete magic circle to be practical.”

The magic circle of fantasy that is commonly imagined in modern times is a circle with figures whose meaning is unknown.

It was the same in this world.

It was a form in which various magic circles, including the basic magic circle, were drawn in various shapes such as circles, squares, and pentagons.

All of the things I studied in Lorraine’s test papers were 0-tier magic that didn’t take the form of a magic circle.

Like a fireball, the magic circle of fire, wind, and release was drawn in a circle, and it was recognized as a first-tier magic from the magic circle that took the form of a complete figure.

If you overlap two magic circles with shapes, you get a 2nd tier, and 3 if you stack 3. In this way, there are up to 7 tiers.

However, it is said that the 7th rank is virtually impossible to calculate, so it only exists as an ancient record and there are no magicians who actually use it.

“In short, a magic circle drawn without collision inside a figure with a border is a completed magic circle. Depending on the shape of the border shape, the role it plays is different.”

Anyway, if you can calculate multiple completed magic circles at once, you will be able to use high-level magic.

In fact, it was safe to say that calculation skills were the most important factor in magic.

If you’re good at math, you’re good at magic. This is it

“One more important thing… Acceleration Act.”

Of course, it is impossible to do calculus mentally without any tools.

0Th tier basic magic is not difficult, but even if you go to 2nd tier, it is impossible with my mental arithmetic.

So the method used by wizards is the Acceleration of Acceleration method.

Use mana to speed up thinking. This will allow you to do a lot of calculations in a short amount of time.

It also has the function of separating mana and thinking, so it is said that when used, it gives the effect of doing calculations with a blackboard in your head.

It feels like mana is a calculator that allows you to do calculations quickly.

“Magicians often meditate, so this is the concept here.”

The more you learn the Acceleration of Acceleration, the faster it speeds up, so it is said that wizards increase their proficiency in the Acceleration of Acceleration through meditation.

Wizards who have reached the 6th tier magic use the Thought Acceleration method, using 1 second as if it were about 1000 seconds.

“Since you don’t know calculus, you spend so much time doing calculations… Well, the theoretical thing is fine.”

Let’s try it.

The higher the hierarchy goes, the more complicated the calculation process becomes.

However, it does not require a higher level concept that is more difficult, in fact, all calculations are made within calculus.

It must be hell for people in this world who don’t know calculus, but to me it was just a problem that bothered me.

First of all, this accident acceleration method is a mana management method.

Because you can’t even take out a piece of paper and do calculations during battles or everyday life. Scientific calculators do not exist.

You need to learn the Acceleration method as much as possible to develop the ability to complete calculations quickly.

“Because even 7th tier magic seems capable of calculation.”

Among the magic circles in this world, there is no problem that I cannot solve.

That night, I was engrossed in a thick book on the Acceleration of Acceleration Act and stayed up all night unaware of the change in position of the sun and moon.

And, as expected, the magic wasn’t a big deal.
