2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Episode 30. 8. The Genius of the Fallen Ming Dynasty

At the beginning of the semester, Kang Min-hyuk took these classes from his professor.

"What's the ultimate goal of the magic department? Well, it's also to have basic skills for wizards, but in the end, wizards are also a part of the Hunter. If I want to play my part as a hunter in the highly competitive world, I need to have enough hands-on experience and skills. The magic department helps with those courses through a number of trials and errors. Oh, by the way, the reference point for your skills is the formation of a third circle."

The professor emphasized three circles.

In fact, the two-circle wizard is not very valuable as a hunter.

The use of magic after a long cast is not so powerful, and there is nothing you can do because your mana is exhausted in a few times. These shortcomings are solved to some extent when they are on the third circle. Not only does the magic power become much stronger, but the amount of mana supplied from the three circles is quite large.

So the three circles became the standard point of the wizard.

If a graduate wearing a bachelor's cap is a three-circle wizard, he or she is offered a job offer from family members and numerous organizations that welcome him, but in the case of a two-circle wizard, he or she usually believes that there is no future as a hunter. It is uncertain when the team will be able to move up to the next level after the third circle, but at least up to the third circle, it is a place where ordinary talent and effort can rise enough.

Two years ago from now.

A student who was a sophomore in the magic department climbed to the top of the three circle on his own.

It was a mess at that time.

Even if you go through a youth course, it is usually a common case to barely form three circles in the senior year. However, the story of a genius who formed three circles as soon as he entered the second grade, was flooded with offers from numerous organizations. That much, the criteria for the three circles are quite great, and depending on how quickly the three circles are awakened, the possibility of the four circles can be expected. For your information, the student is currently in the fourth grade, and there are also groups trying to recruit him in the third circle, showing their outstanding qualities.

For these reasons, the meaning of 3 circles was great.

But now, Kang Min-hyuk, who endured the third-phase output of the Mana Room, could feel the three circles formed in his heart.

Three circles.”

In fact, it was gambling that raised the output.

As soon as he felt a little adjusted to the second stage, Kang increased the output to the third stage.

There is a saying in the guardian gate.

"Comfortable training is poison."

Even with muscular training, the guardian gate always gave a burdensome level of weight. I scream because my muscles are tired, but it's still at a level where I can hold on. Memories of that time whipped Kang Min-hyuk. Before getting more used to the second stage, I hoped to develop by challenging the third stage right away.

Gambling worked.

The judgment of the guardian gate maintained the spirit of Kang Min-hyuk at the height of life and death, and three circles were the result.

'Is there a case like this?

to have none

At least in the magic department, I was told that there was no sorcerer who formed three circles at Kang's age. Therefore, forming a three circle in the second grade became a huge topic. Although there are cases where world-class magicians awakened to an earlier age, there was a huge difference between them and Kang Min-hyuk.

It's the beginning of magic.

Without a youth course, Kang immediately entered the magic department and reached the top of the three-circle level.

It was nonexistent, and Kang Min-hyuk knew how great his progress was.

'The Mana Room was very effective.'

the promotion of growth

Without Mana Room, this rapid growth would not have been possible.

But no matter how good the environment is, there is one of the most important factors in growth.

"I have a talent for magic."

Talent

The one that led to the abandonment of the post of successor.

said Chrismann's knowledge.

The pace of growth he's showing right now is great in his own world.

The next morning.

Classes were conducted in the magic department.

Professor Ha Man-seok, who teaches the subject 'Understanding the Magic Book,' said in a passionate voice, looking at the students.

"The French Magic Association recently succeeded in simplifying the casting of the three-circle magic chain Chain Lighting. The casting time was reduced by 20 seconds, and the magic power increased slightly. Like this, magic is not an unchanging knowledge. If we find a more efficient magic system, we can use a more advanced form of magic than ever before."

a magic book

A book that records the magical system.

It's what humans call a magic book by weaving it into one book, and the system can change at any time.

Kang Min-hyuk is a well-known fact.

Through his knowledge, he has already studied various systems divided into top and bottom.

Ha Man-suk said.

"From now on, I will give you a group project. In groups of three, submit a report on the new wizard system. I'm not asking you to submit a successful result. I want to determine how to look at the magic system that is currently fixed in a different way, and the flexibility of thinking that is essential as a wizard. I'll give you just one week."

group project

The most hated moment for the students of the department came.

As soon as Professor Ha Man-seok left his post, the students approached their close friends and immediately formed a group.

But no one approached Kang.

In fact, the title of the winner of the magic academic competition is a high-scoring guarantee check. Kang Min-hyuk, who is already on the path of a scholar, may produce results. Nevertheless, the classmates could not approach Kang hastily. That was the result of the ambiguous position.

Kang Minhyuk.

The eldest son of Suho Moon, who caused a great deal of controversy at the beginning of the semester.

With his magical success, his classmates made Kang a target of envy and envy at the same time as admiring.

Why the hell?

Is the eldest son of Suho Moon magically more talented than himself?

So, getting close to Kang Min-hyuk showed signs of being around him. Most of them had been involved in relationships since the youth academy, so they could not approach Kang Min-hyuk even ignoring the relationship. Nevertheless, there were quite a few students who were wary of the existence of Kang Min-hyuk, but there was no strong will to carry the gun first, as is the case with the group life.

It was then.

One student approached Kang Min-hyuk.

"Would you like to play with me if you don't have anyone else in mind?"

He was Kim Chang-soo.

As Kang Min-hyuk's team leader in the actual class, his view of Kang Min-hyuk has changed since the day's day.

'Kang Min-hyuk is a great guy!’

Kang Min-hyuk's charisma.

Kang Min-hyuk's magical powers.

Still, the moment of that time has not been forgotten.

So he wanted to continue his relationship with Kang Min-hyuk, even turning a blind eye to his friends' eyes.

And there was a desire for grades.

"Yes."

Kang Min-hyuk nodded.

There was no special feeling about Kim Chang-soo, but it didn't matter who came in as a member of the group.

Is it because Kim Chang-soo started the game?

Immediately a student stepped up.

"May I join you?"

"Huck."

"Why is he?"

"Jeong Sang-hoon is doing it with Kang Min-hyuk?"

This time, however, the reaction was different from that of Kim Chang-soo.

That's why, named Jung Sang-hoon, was a hot topic at the time of admission, just like Kang Min-hyuk.

A child of a now fallen wizard family.

Then, it was Jung Sang-hoon who entered the magic department first.

Jung Sang Hoon.

His family, the Chungs, had a reputation as a magical master until a hundred years ago.

The discovery of magic was such a great thing, and some people said in chorus that magic is the future of man.

Over time, however, the Chung family's status has weakened.

There were internal problems, but the biggest problem was the magic culpability caused by the development of the strengthening civilization. Magic was pushed from some point on, and the word Myeongga became an old saying, making it rare to recognize the Chung family. The Chung family has now been called the "luxury of the past," but even a hundred years later, there were still people who continued the tradition.

That's Jung's father.

Jung Sang-hoon, who has been trained as a wizard since he was young, recently heard this from his father.

"I heard there is Kang Min-hyuk in the same class as you. The double casting and magic form changes that Kang Min-hyuk has researched are revolutionaries in the world of magic. So if you have a chance, be as close to Kang Min-hyuk as you can. Just the fact that you stay by the side of such a genius, you'll get a lot of magic."

one's father's new wife

In fact, I was a little annoyed by the words.

No matter how much the Chung family is not the same as before, it is still a magic master.

However, Chung's words to beg the eldest son of Soohumun, the opposing force, hurt Jung's.

'I'm not like my father.'

Chung's father failed.

He has lost all his footing as a Ming, and has achieved nothing in his generation, let alone regaining his past stature.

However, Jung Sang-hoon knows that he is a magic genius. The pace of development was different from others, and even when I entered the magic department, I was able to proudly enter the top class. So I wanted to check it myself. Even without Kang Min-hyuk's help, the fact that he can grow enough with his own strength.

With Kang's consent, Chung joined the group project.

That afternoon, when the group gathered together for the group project, Jung Sang-hoon immediately expressed his thoughts.

"In fact, this topic is something I've been studying with interest, so I've already completed it.”

"Really?"

Kim Chang-soo's eyes widened.

On the other hand, when Kang Min-hyuk looked at him with a calm expression, Jung smiled inwardly.

'Where can you keep doing that?’

"Uh. The magic I've worked on is fire bolts, and in the process of analyzing fire bolts' systems, I came up with a simpler way to reduce casting time. So, after testing it a while ago, we were able to reduce casting time by as much as 10 seconds compared to the Fire Bolt we know. Actually, I was originally going to give a personal presentation, but since I got the assignment just in time, why don't you give a presentation on this topic?"

"Whoa."

Kim Chang-soo opened his mouth wide.

It is amazing that the horse has reduced the casting time by 10 seconds.

Although it's a little disappointing that it's Fire Bolt, the magic of one circle, Kim Chang-soo quickly checked the data presented by Jung Sang-hoon.

"Wow, this is going to work.”

The data showed no problems.

Kim Chang-soo continued to express his admiration.

Kang Min-hyuk also took over the data when he praised his thumb for being the top student.

'That's true.

It was as Jung Sang-hoon explained.

If cast magic as he presented, it seemed that he could shorten the time by at least 10 seconds.

But there was a problem.

This was a problem that only Kang Min-hyuk knew about.

'It's the same system as the sub-wizards.'

Cleese's own world.

The lower-level Fire Bolt that I read there was exactly this system.

For Jeong Sang-hoon, whose thoughts were unknown to Kang Min-hyuk, he smiled with a look of elation.

"What do you say?"

a question for reaction

At this moment, Chung had no doubt that he would lack his own data.
