2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Prologue + Class 1 (1)

It was very boring.

The words were spoken by the Professor of magic, Lee Hak-beom, were like for freshmen when he was just in the first grade.

‘What are you talking about?’

Human sleeping pill.

That was the nickname of Lee Hak-beom.

If your listeners are in the first grade, you should talk to them like they’re in the first grade, but he always overlooked that.

“What do you guys think about double casting? Ordinary people say that casting two spells at the same time is an ability of geniuses only. Still, in fact, I think it is possible for ordinary people as well. Magic casting has a fixed pattern, right? If you create ‘one system’ that can handle this quickly … … .”

‘Haam.’

Kang Min-hyuk yawned out loud.

‘I’m so sleepy.’

Professor Lee Hak-beom’s explanation tickled his ears. He eventually succumbed to drowsiness.

[Giggle]

He was shaking his head while drifting off to sleep.

‘ Probably when I wake up, this boring class will be over.’

He was so sure.

“Kang Min-hyuk! wake up!”

It hurt.

He raised his head, feeling the pain in the back of it. He thinks something hit it. Or maybe someone?

“Mr. Oh… … .”

He couldn’t grasp the situation.

‘He Was upset about falling asleep during class, so was Professor Hak-beom Lee punishing me?’

He was not.

The man, looking down at Min-hyuk with a red-hot face, was a very unfamiliar face.

“Klinsmann. Is my class easy? Do you want me to show you how to squeal with your eyes wide open? I want to bring you to the Punishment Committee right now, but I’ll let you go just this once. So get up right now and explain the theory in the textbook.”

“Yes, yes ?!”

“Hurry!”

[Bump!]

Min-hyuk was getting insane.

He didn’t dare to check who the Professor was and why he called him Klinsmann.

Because the other person’s face looked like it was about to explode any minute now, he hurriedly opened the textbook.

‘… … Double casting? ‘

Double casting.

The theory that Professor Hak-Beom Lee explained was There couldn’t speak.

‘How do I explain in an unknown world with no memory of who that professor was this?’

In an unknown world, with no memory of who that Professor is, there was only one answer he could give.

“I’m not sure.”

The punishment was obvious.

There is no way to tell him that he was only a first grader with no knowledge about double casting.

It was like he was expecting it. The man’s facial expression told me he was determined to punish me.

“It’s not enough to sleep in my class, huh? You don’t even know the theory of elementary process that even monkeys know? Okay. For some reason, I was just trying to let you off the hook, but you didn’t give me any reason to do that.”

Wait.

What?

What is double casting?

Isn’t that a high-level skill in magic essence?

But he’s talking about the theory of elementary courses!

That moment, Min-hyuk was convinced that this was a dream, then a strong shock hit the back of his head again.

[Paak!]

“Go to the office!”

Yes, yes.

This time it is not a dream. This is a reality.

* * *

Arriving in the school office at the back of the man who decided to send him there, was enough to embarrass him.

‘… … what?’

School office.

Usually, he thinks of a big space that gives off the smell of a book. Still, it felt like ‘a room of wizards’ as if he was in a scene from Harry Potter, with the magic tools and the professors dragging their robes.

The Professor gestured him to enter the room, then he saw a chair from a distance.

‘Hik.’

He was embarrassed.

Magic moving objects?

It must be dynamism, but no one in his world used such high-level magic. The magic that he saw consumes a great deal of Mana and stamina in one try. There is no person crazy enough to use his kinetic powers just to walk a few steps.

Anyway…

“Klinsmann.”

The headmaster’s response was dubious.

Sitting on a chair as if it were obvious, he looked up at Min-hyuk with a sharp glance.

“I still can’t understand how you got in the ‘Royal Magic Academy’. But for sure, if you’re a stupid guy who can’t even explain basic theories like double casting, I have to somehow get you out of this academy. It’s not an unfair treatment for your origin, besides it’s a reasonable conclusion that you don’t fit into this academy.”

It was logical.

However, he could not understand the headmaster’s words properly.

‘Double casting is a basic theory?’

‘What is the Royal Academy again?’

‘Why do you keep calling me Klinssman?’

He was so confused.

The headmaster continued to spit out warnings, and it was not long before he could leave the office.

Then he came to a conclusion.

‘This is not Korea.’

His heart rattled, and he sat down.

He remembered being in Professor Hak-Bum Lee’s class, so how did he get here?

He needs Information.

He hurriedly moved to the classroom, where he first woke up.

* * *

Name: Klinsmann.

Age: 14 years old.

He learned that from Professor Naido 1, but he has no memory of that.

Eventually, he had to ask his classmates what they were. They said some useful information despite their weird looks at him.

“Where are you? Are you out of your mind? This is the Royal Academy of Magic, the most prestigious educational institution in the UK.”

“Korea? Do you mean Monster Land? Korea is a country that was destroyed a long time ago. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but Korea and Russia have turned into a monster land. So stop sleeping and get ready for class!”

“Enhanced civilization? What a bullshit. There is no ‘knight’ in this world. Sometimes some guys say they are witches, but they have strong magic, and you don’t have to fight them yourself.”

It was all shocking.

By talking with his classmates, Min-hyuk understood a little about the world.

‘It was clear that I’m still on Earth. This country’s name and language proved it, but this is not like the world I was living in.’

Parallel Universe.

Maybe that’s it.

There was no other explanation. This is like Earth, but with a completely different civilization.

‘The Earth I lived in has developed a reinforced civilization due to the invasion of monsters. We strengthened the human body with the spirits extracted from the monsters. We fought directly with the monsters to protect our territory. But I have no idea what the Ganghwa civilization is. No, the system of civilization is different in the first place. ‘

He felt dizzy.

This world, a parallel universe, has similarities to where he lived before, but a completely different civilization blossomed.

There were many questions.

However, there was one thing he wanted to check.

“… … The Professor was using salt power. Have you ever seen the British archangel or something like that?”

He asked carefully.

But the replies were absurd.

His classmates made faces and spit out words as if they were driving out an annoying worm.

“What are you talking about earlier? Salt power magic is popular magic. Are you talking about that special magic called Archmage? Archmage is a sacred title. It is said that the title of Archmage can only be obtained if you climb at least 7 circles. But how can you call Albert, a fifth-circle wizard, an Archmage?”

Thud!

It seemed to be a strong fit.

The kinetic power is a popular magic, and Albert, the 5th-circle wizard, spoke as if he were referring to a ‘subclass’.

It was completely different from what Min-hyuk knew in his world.

‘… … In the world I lived in, a 5th-circle wizard can be considered an enchantress enough.’

He was sure.

He lived in Ganghwa civilization.

And this is a parallel universe.

‘It is a world where magical civilization has blossomed.’

Magic civilization.

A completely unfamiliar word stuck in his heart.

He sat down and looked at the cover of the book he was using in Albert’s class.

[Elementary Magic]

Albert is a 5th circle wizard.

He was a failure as a wizard, and he said that he was in the academy to lay the basics of wizardry.

‘This is a very low-level theory in magical civilization.’

Sarak.

He turned over the bookshelf.

Saying ‘Double Casting’ earlier was an embarrassment.

[Double casting means using two magic simultaneously. Even at the time of the first magic, double casting was an unknown word, but since ‘auto casting’ was invented, casting was no problem for humans. … … Nowadays, many spells can be used at once since Multi Casting has become the standard for judging the wizard’s magical power.]

‘… … Auto casting? ‘

Auto casting.

Multi casting.

They are all unfamiliar words.

He turned over the bookshelf and looked more closely.

[Auto casting is a form that records the magic system in one’s Mana. It is a modified form of Memorize magic. If you use the same magic repeatedly by distributing Mana in a certain form, the magic is automatically displayed when you use that type of Mana. This is the most basic skill that used Mana’s ‘memory’ to empower this world to fight monsters.]

That’s it.

Min-hyuk swallowed his dry saliva.

It was a world that he did not fully understand yet, but he was convinced of the contents of the textbook.

‘Professor Hak-beom Lee said that double casting is only allowed for those who have an extraordinary brain. Simultaneously calculating the same magic formula, double casting was actually possible. But if the auto system theory that remembers the form of magic is correct, then this is a really big evolution. ‘

Min-hyuk’s body trembled.

Is this how it feels when a savage encounters a new world?

With a tremendous amount of new knowledge embedded in his brain, he was not ready to turn over the remaining pages.

What knowledge is behind it?

If double casting is the theory of the elementary process, obviously, there is a lot more knowledge hidden in the remaining pages.

It was then.

ping-!

‘… … ?!’

He became dizzy.

Suddenly, the world was spinning, he put his head on the desk where he was.

Thud.

“Kang Minhyuk. I will forgive you if you sleep in class, but don’t you think snoring is over the line?”

A very familiar face.

Professor Hak-Beom Lee was looking down at min-hyuk with a hardened look.
