The students did not scream at the appearance of the new magic but their eyes were already on fire like an active volcano burning hot under the deep waters.

“Wow!”

Meanwhile, there was a student who admired the appearance of pure new magic with envy, it was Aidan.

“Leo, you saw it? It’s Mr. Rudger after all! Inventing such magic!”

“…….”

“Leo? Leo!”

“…….”

When Leo, who would have usually answered, did not say anything, Aidan shook Leo’s shoulder.

“Leo, are you okay?”

“Uh huh?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Aidan, you……Do you know how great that magic is?”

“Yes? Why? It’s great, but is it something surprising?”

“You…”

Leo sighed and shook his head.

Sometimes, like Aidan, he thought how comfortable it would be to be in a position where he didn’t know what to do.

As Leo knew a lot, it was hard to keep up with the groundbreaking magic that Rudger had shown him now.

‘It’s magic that transcends space. What the hell is that teacher?’

Leo was even more suspicious of Rudger’s identity.

Like Leo, there were some students who were surprised to see Rudger’s magic. The more you know, the more you see. One of the representative examples was Flora Lumos.

‘What?’

For a moment, a sweet scent lingered on the tip of her nose, but she almost lost her mind. Not only that. All kinds of colors appeared in front of her in a complex way, and she felt like her vision was paralyzed. Synesthesia of magic, her innate talent, was confusing her at this moment.

‘I’ve never seen such magic.’

Although there was little to learn, Rudger’s magic was unique. The magic which she has felt through synesthesia, has always felt like seeing a picture in a frame. Looking at it, she could tell how magic was made.

However, the magic that Rudger was using now was different from usual. To put it bluntly, rather than looking like art, it felt like being in the center of the fireworks display. Firecrackers exploding from all directions and colorful lights dazzle the eyes. Flora had a hard time staying sane.

‘Where the hell did you get that kind of magic….?’

Flora closed her eyes tightly without realizing it, but regret flooded in. She wanted to see that magic a little more and feel that pleasure again

With that thought, she opened her eyes and then closed them again due to excessive stimulation.

Princess Erendir stared at the magic with a serious face and Rene next to her, shed pure exclamation. Julia Plumhart had a normal face, but her squinted eyes were sharper than usual.

After receiving the attention of all the students, Rudger stopped his magic.

“What is it? Are you a little intrigued?”

The students could not answer Rudger’s question because they were still immersed in the magic he showed them.

“It must be quite a strange and surprising magic to you, but in this wide world, this magic is only a very small part because this is nothing more than a slightly modified form of magic.”

At Rudger’s words, the students had no choice but to doubt their ears for a moment but Rudger was sincere. He said that in the first place, this coordinate designation magic he used was nothing compared to the ‘real magic’ he was familiar with.

“This magic that I have used is nothing more than a trick inspired by the magic of a wizard.”

“Oh my god.”

“Is that really true?”

Rudger nodded his head at the students’ questions. There was no need to lie or brag about this.

“There are far more unknown magic’s in the world and anyone here can create and develop their own magic.”

It was so easy to say, but none of the students looked down on Rudger’s magic. Even if there are things that you see and feel inspired by, changing them into your own is another thing.

“Of course, I did not show you this magic to teach you.”

At Rudger’s words, some students shed tears of regret. Since it was a new magic that was shown after the source code, the students had expectations.

“Aren’t you going to tell us about the principle?”

“If you are curious, think and analyze for yourself.”

“Then why did you show it?”

“I hope you see this and realize something.”

Some of the students looked at why he showed them something he wouldn’t teach, but Rudger also had an intention.

“I also made this magic based on inspiration from someone else. After all, magic isn’t just about having your own creations.”

It is clear that magic is born anew by imitating others’ magic. It was so difficult and virtually impossible to create it from zero. That is why Rudger showed his magic to his students.

“Don’t try to make magic too difficult and complicated. Of course, if you dig really deep, it will give you a headache, but sometimes you should simply look at it.”

Rudger’s words awakened the minds of the students. The reason Rudger has shown this magic is to evoke the mindset of students who are tired of this boring class.

“Of course, there will be some students who are genuinely curious about this magic that I have manifested. There are also students who are already analyzing it.”

Many students changed their expressions at his words.

“So, if you are curious, focus on class. What you need above all else is a solid foundation to perfectly sublimate the enlightenment you have gained from so you can turn others’ magic into your own.”

“……A solid foundation.”

“Is it real?”

“He who has the right foundation will be able to analyze and use magic properly in the future when he wants to.”

Some students, who had little motivation to learn and thought the class was boring, had no choice but to reflect on their attitude.

“I will give you a hint, the coordinate designation magic uses the concept of space. Think about how to perceive the space around you, and how to send the magic to it.”

“Is that homework?”

Someone raised their hand and asked. It was Flora Lumos, who still couldn’t get rid of her shock at the magic that Rudger showed.

Rudger stared at her for a moment, then nodded his head with an expressionless face.

“You might see it that way. If you can see and analyze my magic and even vaguely imitate it, it is proof that you have followed my instructions well.”

Flora couldn’t quite make up her mind about her teacher.

“If you think you have mastered this magic, just come to me and show me. If you do, I will give you extra points.”

The last words he left behind were enough to inspire the students’ subdued motivation.

“Today’s class ends here. Everyone seems pretty tired, so I won’t give you an assignment today. It seems that the magic I showed you has already become a sufficient task for you.”

“Wow!”

When he said that there was no homework, the students raised their hands and cheered. For students who take several classes each week, the reality is that the assignments in each class are very heavy.

The students, who were already excited about the fact that there was no homework, grumbled among themselves.

“Then, until the next class, prepare and review thoroughly. Today’s class ends here.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Rudger nodded his head at the students’ loud replies and left the classroom.

After class, I returned to the office and sat down in my seat. Sedina, who had glanced at me, slowly approached me.

“I, sir…….”

“Done. Just go.”

“Yeah?”

“The work for today is over, so you can go back and rest.”

“Ah yes.”

I guess she was worried because I looked a little tired. It’s a one-sided relationship, but she is still cute when I look at her.

Right now, I’m more comfortable being alone. Sedina dared not disobey my orders, answered in a small voice and left the office. After being completely alone, I paused for a moment and picked up the teacher’s crystal ball on the table.

‘It’s time for the story of the Almighty Stone to come out.’

The Almighty Stone is a ‘Relic’ and the source of the rumor that has heated up Theon.

The president said that she would put the Almighty Stone in a simple storage place and then bring it back to its original place and that she needed my help along the way.

From what she said, the process itself didn’t seem to take too long, so it was time for the president to contact me.

“Beep.”

Seeing the crystal ball sending a signal, I immediately activated it.

“Yes, President.”

[Mr. Rudger, it’s a big deal.]

Big deal? The president’s voice was quite serious, contrary to what I had expected. I also adjusted my posture and waited for her next words.

“What’s wrong?”

[The Almighty Stone has been stolen.]

“…….”

* * *

The incident happened even before I stood at the start line. Looks like they did not expect that Black Dawn would move so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, I asked in a cautious tone.

“What exactly happened?”

[I looked down on the enemies.]

“What do you mean?”

[They are infiltrated deeper into Theon than I thought.]

“…….”

After listening to the conversation, I understood why the president was saying that. The Almighty Stone existence was a secret known only by a few people.

Even if the rumors got out, she thought it would be ok to quickly bring it back to its original location and that was a mistake. The enemies already knew the location of the storage area, and took action before the president started her plan.

Currently, the assailants who stole the Almighty Stone are hiding inside Theon. She said that they are quickly chasing after them, but she doesn’t know when they will be caught.

[Above all, if they use the Almighty Stone, the situation will get out of control.]

“Surely it will.”

I don’t know how powerful the Almighty Stone is, but it’s a Relic, so it can’t be denied that it’s a very dangerous object. What if the ones who took the Almighty Stone use it the wrong way? There could be huge casualties.

But to declare a state of emergency for the entire Theon would be absurd since it will cause the students to panic. Besides, making this fact known may damage the reputation of Theon. There’s already been a lot of talk about the werewolf incident, and they can’t attract more attention now.

This is a battle against time and we must put out the flames before they spread.

“When do you think the golden hour is?”

[Midnight today.]

“Okay.”

[……Aren’t you going to ask more than that?]

“It would be better to move right away.”

I left those words and hung up the phone with the president.

I can’t act like other people in things that might get me involved too. Relics are dangerous weapons that can blow up a city if used incorrectly and there is no guarantee that the aftermath will not affect me and if I run away now, I will also be accused of being an accomplice.

“Whoa.”

I sighed and turned off the sound barrier I had put on before I spoke to the president.

“Sedina.”

As I called out in a low voice I could feel a fluttering presence through the door. I knew long ago that she had not left and was waiting in front of the door.

“Come in.”

This was good because I needed to get information.
