Chapter 127: History and Magic and Generic Spells
Chapter 127 History and Magic and Generic Spells
***Edited by Kronost***
"With the rapid development of magic technology, the magic of the old era is gradually getting lost."
"But that doesn't mean we don't use magic anymore."
With a flick of finger, a wisp of flame popped out of Professor Cazer's fingertips.
That flame rose against the wind and turned into a magic wand.
With another shake, it turned into a thin card.
He then blew the card, putting out the flame, putting on an outrageously awesome show.
"Learning magic is very difficult and tedious. Most magicians can only learn how to cast a fireball throughout their lives. We usually call them magic apprentices—but magic apprentices had been very precious in the last century."
"Chanting spells and drawing magic energy are just the first step of spellcasting."
"If you want to cast a fireball, you must know how the fireball is generated, why it can burn, what the burning medium is, the relationship between magic energy and flame, the law of flame temperature, and how long it lasts..."
...
Professor Cazer spoke very carefully.
So many details that the little magisters felt like their heads were about to explode
Dark saw that Dianna was lying on the table with her hands over her head. Probably, small spirals had formed in her eyes already.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, Professor Cazer changed to another topic, ending the topic of old magic.
...
"But with the development of magic technology, we solved this problem."
"As long as the corresponding spell is written in Magical Language, and the spell is branded into the card to make a complete magic spell card, we can activate it through a simple summoning spell to cast the magic."
"Of course, Magical Language is something you don't learn until your second year."
"The difficulty of Magical Language varies from person to person, and there are so many factors involved."
"When the same fireball spell is written by different magisters, the final spells will be different."
"But there are some special spells that are generic."
"Before learning Magical Language, we can try to make a simple magic spell card by copying these generic spells."
"Now open the appendix at the end of the textbook."
...
The students followed Professor Cazer's instructions and turned the textbook to the final appendix page.
[Appendix 1. Generic Spells]
①Magic Bullet Spell
②Push Push Spell
③ Obstruction Spell
④ Fade Spell
⑤ Blinking Spell
...
A total of five generic spells were listed on the appendix page of Magic Guide Basic Theory 1.
This was what first-year students needed to learn.
"Magic Bullet Spell, Push Push Spell..."
Dark looked at the appendix in surprise. The five generic spells were a little different from the beginner's content he had imagined.
"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be Fireball 1, Fireball 2, Fireball 3... or something like that?"
It seemed that most of the students had the same thought as him.
The students looked at the appendix and couldn't help but whisper.
Professor Cazer watched the students whispering. He didn't get annoyed, but instead smiled.
He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to quiet down and said, "Although these five generic magic spells seem to be basic, they are important magic spells that will be continuously used throughout a magister's life. In the future, you will naturally discover their importance. In today's lecture, we're just going to talk about the principles, and not experiments. The formal experiment will take place next Monday. Starting this month, professors will no longer provide lab material packs. You will need to find the list of materials and buy them with your credits."
Professor Cazer's last words had more impact on the students than the confusion caused by the generic spells.
After a brief moment of silence, the classroom suddenly became noisy.
A girl immediately raised her hand and said, "Professor, what if we don't have enough credits and can't afford the materials?"
Professor Cazer replied kindly, "Professors will estimate your existing credits when assigning homework. As long as you listen carefully to the class and complete the homework on time, there will be no problem of insufficient credits."
Another student read the meaning of Professor Cazer's words and said in surprise: "Professor, will there be experimental assignments starting today?"
Professor Cazer nodded and said, "Actually, it has already happened. The production of [Phantom Magic Beast] belongs to this type of assignment."
Immediately after, several students raised their hands to ask questions, and Professor Cazer answered them one by one.
After all the questions were asked, the little magisters finally fell into despair.
It seemed that starting from today, not only could they no longer fool around, but they also had to learn to plan carefully.
Emma, who was sitting in the first row, looked calm.
White in the last row gave Robert a high five.
Dark by the window faced Dianna's pitiful gaze and said ruthlessly, "Solve your problem yourself."
Dianna could only count on her fingers how much she had to save.
Rose snickered.
In fact, they all got a lot of credits from the masquerade activities, so as long as they didn't splurge, they would be fairly well off with credits.
...
In the following class, Professor Cazer gave a detailed lecture on the principles and methods of imprinting a spell on the magic card.
But the students had no intention of listening to the class; they just took notes numbly.
Aside from telling students not to forget to go to Traveller Street on weekends to buy materials, Professor Cazer didn't increase homework.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The bell signaling the end of class rang.
When the professor left the classroom, the students' emotions exploded in an instant.
The classroom was filled with all kinds of mournful wailing sounds.
Originally, many people were looking forward to the history of magic class that would be taught by the principal in the afternoon, but now they were no longer in the mood.
With a smile on his lips, Dark packed his things and prepared to leave the classroom.
But just as he was about to get up, Emma appeared in front of him.
Emma with a notebook said in a low voice, "You agreed to lend it to me."
Dark suddenly remembered what happened last night, and said, "In the evening, I will take it to the library."
"Okay!" Emma responded softly and left quickly.
Dianna glanced at Emma and whispered in Rose's ear, "Let's go to the library at night too!"
Rose nodded: "We will finish the homework assigned by Professor Lily."
...
Dark leaving the classroom did not go to the cafeteria.
He knocked on the door and entered Professor Cazer's office and asked, "Professor, can we talk?"
The professor nodded slightly and pointed to the sofa.
Dark sat on the sofa and brewed a pot of tea skillfully.
Professor Cazer sighed and suddenly said, "Demon, I'm really sorry."
Dark was dazed for a moment, then smiled: "Professor, it's not me that you need to apologize to."
There was a trace of sadness on Professor Cazer's face: "I have been feeling very guilty for many years. If I could have been more determined to prevent them from entering the ancient temple, everything would not have been like this. When I learned that Didi's purpose was to make the Tear of Moon Goddess, I couldn't bear to stop her. Fortunately, you were here."
Dark said helplessly, "I'm not talking about her either."
Professor Cazer nodded, "I know."
Dark: "Let's change the subject. Professor, I want to know what's so special about the location of the castle; what is the history?"
