A few days had passed since the sester began in earnest.
If there was one thing that I felt while attending Stella, it was that high schools and universities in Korea could not even be compared to it.
If my stamina was not at a superhuman level, I might have collapsed right away.
"As you all know, 90% of the world's population learns magic, but less than 20% of them can use offensive magic. The offensive magic should never be used without a 'licence', do you know why?"
"Isn't that because offensive magic is dangerous?"
"Yes, that's pretty much the answer. If there's one bigger problem, it's that you don't know the trajectory of magic."
Magic was dangerous. Incomparable to the Earth's firearms, the wrong use of fla attribute magic could burn down an entire village. While the mismanipulation of water attribute magic could cause the collapse of an entire building.
There was also an unfortunate accident where earth attribute magic splattered on a passerby, killing him instantly.
"Offensive magic needs to be manipulated more precisely than any other magic. That's why you must take this class, 'Mana Orbitology'."
Mana Orbitology's Professor Karleim wrote three words on the blackboard.
"Offensive magic is divided into three main categories."
"Shooting; in which magic is directly fired from the caster's body."
"Target; the offensive magic is well-controlled with the option to attack at specific coordinates."
"Wide Range; It targets a wide area."
"Each type has its pros and cons. Shooting Magic instantly locks its trajectory and allows you to quickly fire at the enemy, but the enemy can see, dodge, or block it. Target Magic can hit unconditionally if the enemy fails to recognise it early, but its offensive power is weak and the coordinates are very difficult to control, so the casting ti is very long. So, what about the characteristics of the Wide Range Magic?"
"We can attack the entire area, targeting several people at the sa ti."
"Yes, but the efficiency of mana consumption is very poor, so mages with a low amount of mana cannot use it well. There are downsides. Starting today, you will be learning orbitalogy with focus on shooting and targeting in interpersonal battles. You were bored of studying formulas in middle school, right?"
"Yeah!!"
Students shouted because they were tired of studying, and now wanted to see so real shit.
"Unfortunately, you have to morise the orbitalogy formula today."
A sigh ca out, but it could not be helped. Because the professor had to train the students slowly according to the curriculum.
"Then, shall we solve this formula?"
Professor Karleim wrote the problem on the blackboard.
[At a distance of 760 tres from the north, Charles is running at a speed of 12.6m/s to the south. At this ti, find the trajectory and expected observation distance needed for Yuvi to hit Charles with the water-attribute magic skill 'Hydro Gun'.]
Yes. Orbitalogy was mathematics.
"Anyone who wants to answer this question?"
It was not any other attribute, but water.
The students frowned.
Water-attribute magic required formulas and fluid chanics since it was a fluid, but this study was notoriously difficult to the extent that all mages avoided it like a plague. As a reason, only basic knowledge was known, and it was hardly touched unless you majored in water-attribute magic.
To throw this problem, it was not annoying, it was straight bullying.
"Ugh..."
"I feel like I'm going to vomit just looking at the problem..."
"What kind of superman is Charles, how can a person run at 12 tres per second speed...."
Most of the students turned their heads and looked away.
I stared blankly at the back of the professor.
'His hairstyle is so fucking amazing.'
Professor Karleim was bald with a distinctive hairline on the back of his head, which was close to that of a ruler. To describe it more precisely, it was in the form of a y=ax (a>0) graph.
Expressing individuality in one's head as a graph of a quadratic function in which the coefficients of the quadratic term were positive numbers.
He must have been born to do maths.
"Student Baek Yu-Seol?"
"Y-Yes?"
For a mont, I was stunned and stuttered in response.
'Don't tell , Stella's professors even use mind-reading skill?'
Fortunately, it was not a concern. Karleim said as he patted the blackboard, "The only person who made eye contact with is this student. Co out and solve it."
"... Yes."
"... Well, good job. You solved it so easily. Are you majoring in water-attribute?"
"No, I'm not."
"I can't believe you've arranged the Redinburg Equation so simply. It's just great."
"Yes."
I solved the formula much more easily than he expected.
Professor Karleim, on the other hand, was visibly embarrassed but did not hide his exclamation. Possibly, since I solved it so quickly that it was almost ntal arithtic.
Even in Stella, where geniuses gathered, it was an unusually quick solution to the problem. It was almost comparable to the speed of a college student at that point, if not a professor.
"Yes, I like it. Then, make these problems your howork until next ti."
As soon as the lecture was over, I quickly left the classroom.
... And Eisel, who was watching silently from behind, also followed.
As a result of following and watching secretly these past few days, she was convinced.
Although I ranked last in the school year, I still seed a little unusual to her.
.... Maybe a little too much.
"Excuse ."
".....?"
When she called , I stopped my hurried pace. Then, looking at her, I wrinkled my expression in annoyance.
"Why?"
"Why that expression when you look at my face?"
"Every ti I see your face, I get stressed."
"You were stressed...?"
That was right, because I had been feeling Eisel was secretly chasing after for the past few days.
"Okay, which lecture are you going to attend next?"
When Eisel shalessly asked again, I was rather dumbfounded.
"Why do you keep asking that? Are you interested in ?"
"What? It's rather offending."
"I feel worse."
After saying that, I started minding my own business and turned around to walk away, but Eisel hurriedly blocked my way.
"Co on... Wait a minute."
"Why again?"
"Well, um, the classes you're taking, I've looked into so of it"
"Even my background check? I don't like to be followed."
"... You're also a high school student, aren't you?"
'I forgot.'
I, who recalled my own loophole, did not answer and stood still, while Eisel continued.
"Anyway, when I looked at the classes you took, they all provided easy grades."
"Yeah. That's right."
It took less ti, and one could easily get grades, so I took those classes. As a bonus, I also took alchemy and magic engineering classes to raise my skill level.
"Where did you learn such a strategy?"
"Why do you need to know? You should know everything about ."
Then, Eisel frowned and sighed.
"It's okay to listen to sothing like the New Moon Studies because it's an A anyway, so it doesn't affect at all. But, if I take other subjects, they will harm since they don't suit ."
"What?"
I was a little surprised inside.
I already had a lot to worry about right now, so I could not sit around worrying about other people's grades.
"Hmmm, your grades are already so good, so why do you care?"
Her thinking was quite mature, but she would not be able to digest if she took too much on the plate.
"Anyway, can you recomnd just one lecture to ? Sothing good for my grades."
"Why do you want to recomnd a lecture?"
"I knew it, so I prepared a price."
"Price...?"
'Kids these days must really love it. Where did they all learn such snobbish things?'
'As far as I rember, Eisel in her early days must have been an beggar who had nothing...?'
Knowing my confusion, she hurriedly continued the conversation.
"Do you know the secret of the academy's Seventh Main Tower'?"
"Huh?"
However, a word I was familiar with ca out.
