Volume II: Hero Academia Chapter Ninety-Seven: Magic Sequence

After witnessing several crashes and helping to save an unlucky guy who had fallen from a height, the vast array of Magic Academy students finally arrived at their destination: the Magic Academy's teaching area.

It should be mentioned here that the students of Reims College, whether in Year 1 or Year 4, have a full schedule all the time, and students from the same house are also in the same teaching area, so this spectacle occurs every time the class is held. The teaching area of the School of Magic is four towers connected together, but it looks more like a towering castle. The gate is five meters high, and although it is ajar, it is large enough to accommodate a large number of students. The school building is clean and tidy, with chandeliers glowing softly overhead, and facing the door is a statue of the creator god, carved with a god holding a wand to summon thunder and lightning.

The academies of warriors, knights, and assassins also have carvings of the creator god holding a giant sword, a shield, and a dagger, all of which are made by the hands of famous sculptors on the mainland, and the magic preservation technology makes each of them as perfect as when it was first inaugurated. Extending from the statue to the corridor on both sides are frescoes and glazed windows, through which the sunlight shines in and intersects with the light of the chandeliers in the hall, revealing a dreamlike colorโ€”

But this sight can only amaze the new students. The old students, who were tired of watching, didn't even bother to stop for a moment, and walked the stairs to the classroom according to their respective schedules. Delkora searched the room number until she found her classroom.

Although the hall is beautifully designed, the classrooms used for classes are all the same. The students walked into the classrooms one after another, and the large classroom of 100 people was quickly filled (more than 200 new students were divided into two classrooms). Because the textbooks had not yet arrived, the freshmen consciously brought their notebooks, but Del Cola was empty-handed.

The course Introduction to Magical Sequences, Del Cora has already learned at home, including the general history of the continent in the morning, these courses he passed the assessment of the tutor with high scores, and his tutors are all tenured professors of the Imperial National University - in fact, the current Delkora can directly jump to the junior or senior year (including strength, because even the junior students do not have many bronze level strength), but this kind of behavior that obviously breaks the rules and the experience of his own student days Del Cora will not do.

But if you've already listened to a lesson once, it's really boring to listen to it again.

While he was yawning in his thoughts, an old professor with full white hair had slowly walked up to the podium with his hands behind his back and pacing. The classroom fell silent, and the eyes of the blue or purple magic robes were fixed on him.

"Ahem...... Ahem, welcome to my class. โ€

The old professor coughed, and his voice was unusually flat.

"My name is Root, and I'm going to teach you this lesson on Introduction to Magical Sequences. I think for quite a few of you, you already know a little bit about this course, even a little bit more than your morning general history of the continent - I've heard that your general history of the continent class is very tiring. โ€

The students smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere in the classroom instantly relaxed.

"Ahem...... When Lady Feline Lambert founded the theory of magical sequences a thousand years ago, magic finally faded away from the last bit of mystery for magicians and became a theoretically complete system. Mr. Root didn't say much, but went straight to the point, "The magicians of the past regarded the elements as dead, irregular and meaningless beings, and only regarded them as some natural phenomenon that could be used. But the advent of magical serialism has completely shattered this prejudice, and what is the most crucial discovery in it...... Do any of your classmates know?"

The students looked at each other, and no one raised their hands.

Root's gaze swept across the classroom and then fell on Del Koraโ€”the student seemed serious, but he was a magister, and he could easily see that something was wrong.

The student was wandering...... Moreover, he was the only one in the class who was wandering.

That's not good.

"Come, fourth student in the second row on the left, you can answer this question. Rout directly called his name, "You answer, what is the most basic and critical discovery in the science of magic sequences?"

โ€œ......โ€

Delkora was still a little stunned when he was called, but he immediately understood that he had been caught because he was distracted. He sighed a little helplessly, then straightened his back and replied in a regular manner, "The elemental molecules are arranged in different ways, and they will have different effects. The aggregation of more than a certain number of elemental molecules creates a tendency to self-align, which can be reinforced by the mage's psychic power. In the process of elemental magic, it is not the magician who dominates, but the elements that have a tendency to self-arrange - this is the Three Laws of Felin, the basis of modern magic. Among the three laws, known as the foundation and key of modern magic, the third is the law, which reveals the inherent regularity of the elements, changes the relationship between the magician and the elements in traditional thinking, and the core of elemental magic has changed from 'manipulating the elements' to 'guiding the elements', which greatly reduces the consumption of mental power in the process of releasing elemental magic, and makes it possible to cast large-scale magic and forbidden spells without relying on physical magic patterns, and the successful casting of the mainland's first high-level forbidden spell 'Blazing Death Song' also proves the scientific nature of magic sequences. Since then, the sequence of magic has become the founding theory of modern magic. โ€

โ€œ...... What is your name?"

"Del Kora. Delkora Yogul, Teacher Root. โ€

"Very well, please take a seat, Del Kora," Rout waved his hand to sit down, looked around with his hands behind his back, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that your basic knowledge level is very high, which is very good, a good magician must be a well-read scholar, especially the foundation of the foundation of magic sequences, which cannot be easily ignored." โ€

The students nodded together, but a significant number of them were still a little confused. Of course, they have all studied the three laws of Philin, and they also know the relationship between the sequence of magic and modern magic, but the special status of the third law is a little over-the-top. Of course, many students also knew this, and a few students wanted to raise their hands, but they were interrupted by Mr. Rutte's sudden roll call.

Overall, Del Kora, who answered this question, did not attract much attention. He's just a lucky guy who happens to be named by the teacher - a puzzled and unlucky guy.

That's what Del Cola wants, too.

In fact, the answer to this question is far from so simple. Acknowledging the intrinsic vitality of the elements has influenced not only the ancient theories of magic that have existed for thousands of years, but also the radical transformation of the "magician" community. In the era of classical magic, wanting to become a magician requires a very high elemental affinity, and this so-called "affinity" is essentially a super high mental power talent, relying on strong spiritual power to forcibly manipulate the elements, and using the magician's personal talent to offset the loss caused by forcible manipulation, and even if the talent is extremely high, it is difficult for the magicians in the classical era to release high-level magic alone, ignoring the conflict caused by forcibly kneading the elements within the elements, giving every magician a headache. But after the magic sequence science revealed the internal laws of each element, the essence of magic was put under the sun, and the magician no longer needed the perverted talent of the classical era, the threshold for learning magic was greatly reduced, and the number of magicians surged, which in turn promoted the development and improvement of magic sequence, making a series of previously unimaginable magic techniques a reality, and directly brought about the second magic science and technology revolution -

But that's too much, too far. That's not what this lesson is about either.

Del Cora is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and if he could, he would prefer to be the most obscure one out of the teacher's gaze. In order not to be caught by Mr. Lute, he stopped being distracted and began to listen carefully. Mr. Rutte on the podium also followed Del Kora's previous answer, but he spoke in much more detail:

"The Three Laws of Philin, a term that you must have all been exposed to in middle school, reveal the three intrinsic properties of the elements. If you carefully study the choice of words and sentences of the Three Laws, you should be able to find that the core content of the first and second rules is 'arrangement', which refers to the arrangement of the elements and molecules, and what I am going to say next may be already ripe, but I still have to repeat it to deepen your impression. โ€

Rout coughed and stretched out his right hand, and the four elements converged in his hand, condensing into visible fireballs, water balls, wind bombs, and clods of earth in his palm.

The four balls grew from small to large almost at the same time, spawning at the same time, and rotating clockwise in his palm, without affecting each other. This subtle elemental control made Delkora's eyes shine.

"Earth, fire, water, and wind, the space we live in is filled with these four elements, which are also the cornerstones of the stable existence of the continent. And the natural phenomena that we see every day, such as mountains, seas, storms, and fires, are essentially made up of various elements, but why are those things called phenomena instead of magic?"

"Because there are no magicians involved!"

One student raised his hand in reply.

"Very well, you're partly right. Rout nodded approvingly, "Nature is not magic without the participation of magicians, and the natural aggregation and decomposition of elements is only a part of nature." But the more critical reason is the arrangement...... Arrangement. โ€

He grabbed the four elemental balls in one hand and wrote Firin's second law on the blackboard with the other.

"The convergence of more than a certain number of elemental molecules creates a tendency to self-align, which can be reinforced by the psychic power of a magician. โ€

He underlined the words "self-alignment tendencies" with a heavy line.

"How many elemental molecules can cause a tendency to self-arrange? What is the weight of a unit of space?What is the density?How does the presence of other elements in a unit of space affect it?And why does a magician's psychic power guide bring about a magical effect that is completely different from the elemental aggregation in natureโ€”"

"This is what we are going to talk about in this course. โ€
