The first thing Grandia saw was an empty classroom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tables and chairs have been moved to the hallway, and a large area has been vacated in the center of the classroom for the contestants to show off their magic, while at the other end of the classroom, behind several desks, sit the judges of this group.

In the center was the vice-principal Francist, whom Grantia had seen, an old mage with a gray beard who was shifting his gaze from a piece of parchment to Grantia, and he hesitated a little when he saw the student.

On the left is a chubby female teacher, if I remember correctly, this should be Wendy's teacher from the alchemy course, an alchemist.

On the right, it must be Professor Siegfrier mentioned by Alyssa earlier, this professor has a thin face, thin lips, and a pair of eyes staring straight at Grandia's face, which makes Grandia's heart a little hairy.

The teacher who led Grantia in stood in the corner of the classroom, and it seemed that she was not one of the judges, but only a helper in charge of coordination and miscellaneous items.

Three judges?

Grantia calmed down.

The air in the classroom was a little heavy, and Grantia felt a little nervous, and her heartbeat was a little unsteady all the time.

"Hello teachers, I am Grandia Ulysses in Year 1, I am honored to participate in this magic competition, and I hope that my work can be valuable to all teachers. ”

To calm down, she started her presentation with a traditional opening statement.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an academic discussion. ”

Vice Chancellor Franchester said with a smile.

Grantia nodded, then took out the ash crystal from her pocket that carried all this effort.

"Ember crystals?"

Teacher Wendy raised her eyebrows, it was the first time she had seen students in this group who used ash crystals as carriers.

Most of the students actually combine runes by themselves, research or improve new spells, and cast them directly to show them, which is more intuitive, but also a little boring.

After all, as a mage apprentice, the magic that can be exposed to is limited, and many of the so-called improvements are likely to have been tried by other mages a hundred years ago, but these apprentices have not understood it, and the effect of using simple magic combinations is also very limited.

Ash crystals, on the other hand, are quite difficult to display.

It is necessary to have a sufficient understanding of circle science, basic spell building, and alchemy to successfully engrave complex magic into crystals, and it is difficult for first-year students to succeed unless they are from a magical family or are gifted.

"This is a first-year student?"

Wendy spoke in magic and said in the ears of the other two teachers that this method of communication could only be used if you had become a full-fledged mage, and the mage apprentices could not hear these voices.

"Of course, besides, this Miss Grandia had made a little bit of a twist in the test before. ”

Vice Headmaster Francester replied, looking at Grantia, remembering the last time she cast the Morpheus's mage's hand, and vaguely expecting what the student would come up with.

"Let's take a look first. ”

Professor Siegfrier was indifferent, staring at the ash crystal in Grantia's hand, his index finger tapping slowly on the table. It makes a small, regular tapping sound.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my work, I call it a camera. ”

"Camera?"

The new combination of words made Miss Wendy frown, the name sounded more like a machine than a magical artifact that the Els liked.

"So, what is the purpose of your camera?"

Vice Chancellor Franchester asked, with a curious look in his eyes.

"Quite simply, this camera is able to achieve the same effect as projection magic, which is to save the real image and display it. ”

Hearing Grandia's words, Professor Siegfrier's tapping on the table stopped abruptly.

"Wait, Grantia Ulysses, if I'm not mistaken, that's what you just said...... Projection magic?"

Projection magic, one of the spells that can only be used after becoming a full-fledged mage, and without the help of other wizards, an ordinary low-level mage may not even be able to cast this spell without hindrance.

After all, projection magic is similar to simulated reality, and it requires a certain understanding of magic and laws to achieve it.

And now, one of the mage apprentices took the ash crystal in his hand and told the three teachers that it was a machine capable of simulating projection magic.

It's unbelievable.

"Yes, yes, but it's not an ash crystal with projection magic inscribed on it. ”

Grantia explained that if it was really a projection crystal engraved with high-level magic, not to mention that she would be disqualified directly, she would not be able to show it in front of the judges.

"Projection magic can record everything in reality, even the flow of magic, but this camera of mine can only record still images. ”

"Can only record still images?"

After hearing Grantia's explanation, Wendy had new questions.

There is no shortage of magic that can record images, and even a brilliant painter who can take the time to record reality, then this camera seems to be a little more subtle.

She didn't question it directly, but the implication was that the other two judges already knew.

The three looked at Grantia, waiting for her answer.

Naturally, she understood the meaning of Wendy's question, and Grantia took a deep breath before replying.

"In fact, this camera only requires a small amount of magic to use, and even does not need magic to use it. ”

There was silence for a while.

“...... Are you serious, Grandia-san?"

After a long time, Vice Chancellor Franchester asked.

"Now all magic guides need mana supply to be effective, no matter how much, but if you don't need mana to be able to use them, then you know what that means?"

This means that magic will no longer be the preserve of mages, but will become a tool of the general public. ”

Grandia knows very well that the emergence of this camera is not just a simple way for everyone to leave images, but also the meaning behind it is to affect the whole society.

This system will be applied to all aspects of daily life, and that is when the real age of magic is coming.

At this time, Grandia was a little proud, because these teachers didn't even know the existence of mobile terminals, and she had to go farther than anyone in this school on this road.

"Very well, then, show your results. ”

Vice Chancellor Franchester bowed his head and motioned for Grantia to start showing her work.

However, when Grandia picked up the camera, she found that the magic fluctuations coming from it seemed to be a little weird.

"Huh?"

Grantia tried to turn on the camera as usual, but the expected interface was not projected into the air, and she tried three times, all to no avail.

To put it simply, she can't seem to turn on the camera anymore.
