2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Period 1 (2)

Round glasses with a stiff posture and high frequency.

Lee Hak-beom, with an impression that looks attentive even at one glance, said in a slightly annoying voice.

“Kang Minhyuk.”

“Yes.”

“How long have you been in the magic department?”

“… … It’s been a week.”

“Then, I will ask again. Unlike other students who majored in magic at the Youth Academy, have you studied magic before now? Even for a day, except for studying at Hunter Academy.”

He couldn’t speak.

17 years old.

In this world that has been messed up with the invasion of monsters, Min-hyuk’s early education had ended, and he officially entered the Hunter Academy. His classmates were looking at the current situation with interest since they already had a foundation in magic here in Youth Academy. On the other hand, his case was different.

He clenched his fist.

The calluses of my palms, which were studded with lumps, tickled his nerves.

“No, there’s not.”

“Yes, nothing. All you did when you got into magic was forming circles and only learning a few elemental magic. Where did you find that kind of guts? If you chose Jinro as your magic, wouldn’t you have to work harder to catch up with classmates who are already mastering 2nd circle magic?”

That’s right.

Min-hyuk started late.

Then, Hak-beom Lee is right to say that he should try harder, but he actually did not have a will for magic.

‘Anyway, magic … …. ‘

“I’m sure you’re the eldest son of Suhomun, a master of swordsmanship. I understand your feelings. You grew up in Suhomun, so the magic, which is a non-mainstream discipline, will not occupy the castle. However, if you chose the Department of Magic with a mindset like that, it would be better to drop out immediately. Even though the study of magic is inefficient, it cannot be learned with a mindset.”

Hakbeom Lee.

He takes great pride in magic.

In reality, magic is a non-mainstream discipline.

Power is weak, casting takes a long time, and mana consumption is high, so the persistence is very low.

So unless you subdue a monster with a low rating, the wizard takes on the role of a supporter.

So, Lee Hak-bum did not like Min-hyuk.

Swordsmen of Suhomun.

In fact, in this world where armed forces are directly connected to power, he had a gold spoon that everyone envies. However, his innate talent fell, and he was lost, and he chose to enter the department of magic as a refuge.

‘The magic is a refuge.’

That was what aggravated Lee Hak-bum’s nerves.

If this happened with another student and not Min-hyuk, he would’ve let it go, but it was him, Kang Min-hyuk.

“Sorry.”

He immediately apologized.

Although the class was boring and his other classmates who slept weren’t reprimanded, Min-hyuk was not the kind who holds his head high in the wrong situation. As Lee Hak-beom’s words clearly indicated, he was in the wrong, so he didn’t have the right to be angry.

However…

“Sorry doesn’t cut it. If you answer my question, I admit that you still have minimal courtesy towards me, and we’ll move on. But if not, I will give you 3 penalty points. Understand? Ten points of penalty mean expulsion from the Department of Magic.”

Lee Hak-beom’s anger did not subside.

Min-hyuk accepted the punishment by nodding his head.

“The double casting I said during class. Explain about it.”

Unfortunately, Lee Hak-beom presented a problem too easy for him.

* * *

Just a few hours ago.

He didn’t know if it was a few minutes ago when he saw that the class wasn’t over.

If Min-hyuk had no experience in the strange world, he would not have answered Lee’s question.

But.

‘If it’s a double casting … …. ‘

The elementary textbook.

Through that, he read detailed information about double casting.

So Min-hyuk could answer right away, but the problem was the authenticity of the information.

‘Anyway, I don’t know about double casting at all. Once I say it, I might be punished for wrong information. ‘

There was no other way.

In the eyes of Lee Hak-beom, Min-hyuk said carefully.

“Double casting means using two magic simultaneously. Normally, common wizards have trouble processing two tasks. Still, I’ve heard that sometimes wizards with fast brain abilities use double casting. According to the current information, it is regarded as an entirely innate ability, not an inheritance.”

The answer from the textbook.

Up to this point, pickers appropriately mix knowledge and the contents of elementary textbooks.

Although Lee Hak-beom’s expression slightly softened, Min-hyuk wanted to confirm the authenticity of the information.

“Professor told me how to use ‘double casting.’ Magic is the act of transforming mana into magic, eventually forming a standardized system. So I agree with your theory. The reason why wizards struggle with double casting is that forming two systems simultaneously is a difficult task. But if I could create an ‘another system’ that would simply omit the process, I think double casting would not be confined to those with innate ability.”

The explanation was over.

However, Lee Hak-beom’s expression was strange.

“Do you really think so?”

Double casting.

It was Hak-Bum Lee’s desire to make the ability possible not only for those with innate talent but through effort.

People said it’s a vain dream.

However, when Min-hyuk supported his theory with his new knowledge that he might not even know, his emotions changed. He thought he was just an unlucky guy who looked at magic like a joke, but Min-hyuk’s current answer changed his mind towards me.

“Yes.”

“Pass.”

Lee Hak-beom laughed.

As an undergraduate who studies a single discipline, they thought the same thing was enough to appeal to him.

“Your explanation was excellent. If you hadn’t investigated the double casting beforehand, you wouldn’t have been able to answer the same. That’s how I saw you wrong. You, at least, deserve to learn magic.”

That’s what happened.

Lee Hak-beom taught again as if there was no fuss. But  Min-hyuk could not concentrate on the class

‘… … Elementary textbook knowledge worked. ‘

His heart was beating fast.

His heart did not calm down until the moment the class ended.

* * *

Right after class.

Minhyuk Kang searched for double casting.

[Double casting is a unique ability granted to only a handful of wizards. It is known that only the top 1% can use double cast, and all the 5th-circle wizards, commonly referred to as Archmage, are double-casters. The value of the wizard is entirely different depending on whether or not he can double cast. Due to the double casting, it is possible to use fusion magic that dramatically increases the power of magic. It is also possible to compensate, to some extent, the delay. That was the deadly disadvantage of wizards.

It was briefly summarized.

The more he learned about double casting, the more he knew that it was never a theory that would be rated as an ‘elementary course.’

‘It’s more complicated than I thought.’

He was an alien in magic.

However, just looking at the information floating on the Internet, Min-hyuk could see how great double casting is.

So he was more embarrassed.

In the world of a man named Klinsmann, double casting was treated as a small stone on the street. It was said that the contents from the elementary textbooks could be implemented effortlessly.

Is it possible?

With the thought of double casting, Min-hyuk could not concentrate properly until the class was over.

He didn’t usually focus on it, but today he kept knocking on my favorite desk while thinking.

And he came to a conclusion.

‘Let’s check.’

The knowledge of this world.

Although the explanation was made against Professor Lee Hak-beom, there is no conviction that it is real knowledge.

The best way to check it out was to try it and see it with his own eyes.

He was curious.

Knowledge of this world caused ripples.

‘Let’s just do what the textbook says.’

There has been a change in Kang Min-hyuk’s daily life.

Kang Min-hyuk, who had lived freely after choosing the transition to magic, had devoted himself to training after school.

Knowledge from textbooks.

It was a classic training method that never escaped me.

So a week later.

Wow!

Water!

Flames and water droplets formed in the air.

Kang Min-hyuk’s eyes widened in the situation before him.

“… … Is this real?”

Klinsmann’s world.

The knowledge there was really ‘a living knowledge.’
