The mind can affect magic, and magic can affect matter. So, on the other hand, by studying and observing the manifestations of matter, it is possible to detect the mystery hidden behind the surface - and this is the occult!

Although it may sound a bit of a god, if you put aside the "magic" factor, the so-called "occult" is actually a comprehensive discipline that integrates mathematics, geometry, physics, astronomy, geography, humanities, history, and psychology.

Ordinary people don't have the BUG-level magic reserves of the Demon King and the ability to control the magic power as they want, so if they want to cast spells, they can only cast spells through some roundabout means and with the help of the power of the world. Therefore, the "occult" of understanding everything in the world is a compulsory course for magicians. Only by understanding the world can you leverage more power with less magic. in order to cast spells in relative safety.

In the occult class, the students of the magic department took notes very carefully.

"Alright, that's the end of the first lesson." The bald professor finished his lecture and closed the handout on the table, "Now, assign homework." ”

Hearing that the class was over, the students breathed a sigh of relief, and the environment in the whole classroom was also relaxed.

"It's not just the words that can influence people's hearts, it's the patterns. In many cases, it is possible to achieve things that are almost as close to magic as the influence of the environment and furnishings. And your assignment is to make a house decoration that can affect people's hearts out of ordinary wood and clay, based on the knowledge of the occult. There must be no mystical words or magic on this ornament, but only through pure shapes and lines, it realizes the intervention of the human heart. The bald professor paused, "Remember, you can't use mystical words or magic, just plain wood and mud to make a house decoration. It's a simple assignment where you can refer to some of the content in the book, and gifted students can create something based on what they have acquired. I love students who are gifted and creative. Now, class! ”

The bald professor walked away without looking back, and the students discussed it after hearing the content of the homework after class.

"Oh~ that's terrible, I'm really not good at artistic carving." Merlin, who was sitting next to Green, couldn't help but complain.

Green took his gaze back from the cursed doll in the bald professor's hand, "I always thought that magicians only needed to recite spells and wave their staffs, but I didn't expect that magicians would have to learn art carving. ”

"That's true for low-level spells, but some high-level spells often use magic circles or special rituals. Many artistic carvings can be used in ritual spells. Merlin thought for a moment, "I'm going to carve a random emblem to deal with it, what about you?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." Greene paused, "But aren't we magicians?" The relationship between the magician and the clergy doesn't seem to be very good, right? Is it okay for you to take the Holy Emblem? ”

"Hmm...... It doesn't seem to be very good, so let's carve the sun and the moon. This classic image is relatively easy to carve. ”

“…… I always feel like you're too casual. ”

"That's it, because this assignment is just a test of the students' artistic carving skills, just make a symbolic thing to intersect." Merlin shrugged, "There's no way you really want a student to make a 'master's work of art' come out." ”

"Hmm...... That's right, too. If you only use wood and clay, and don't use magic materials, how strong can you be? Green agrees.

"Sure enough, it's an idiot!" The half-elf girl who had finished packing her things snorted contemptuously and left.

"What's the matter with that woman in Amastasya?" Merlin couldn't help but frown, "I always feel like she's always targeting me. ”

"Because you're stupid." The young man with glasses sitting in the back snorted coldly, "The materials limit wood and earth, how stupid would a person use wood and soil to make symbols of the sun and the moon?" ”

Hearing the words of the glasses boy, Merlin was stunned: "Materials...... Oh! Damn it! I'm so stupid! I actually forgot about the material factor!? ”

"Don't worry, after all, most of the people in this class are just as stupid as you except for me and Leenys." The glasses boy smiled, and then Shi Shiran left.

Merlin turned to look at Green with a grimace, "Do you think these people are annoying?" ”

"Hmm......" Green thought for a moment, "genius, a little bit of personality, it's normal to look down on people." ”

Merlin frowned slightly: "Aren't you angry when you are said that?" ”

"I have the consciousness of being a 'fool', and it is precisely because I know that I don't understand anything that I come here to study."

"Hmm......" Merlin frowned, as if he couldn't accept it.

Green packed up the textbooks in his hand: "I'm going to the library to look up materials, do you want to go with me?" ”

"No, I'm going to prepare the wood and dirt for the job. Need me to help you get some? ”

Green: "Oh~ That's so thankful. ”

After parting ways with Merlin, Green went to the library, intending to look up information about the ritual and the magic circle.

As a demon king, Green has a unique advantage in magic: BUG-level mana reserves and magic control ability, as long as he eats, he can store a large amount of magic power in his body, and he doesn't need any spells or rituals to cast magic.

Therefore, the warrior monks and witches who taught Green at the beginning directly skipped the basic "elementary school curriculum", and the very friendly status Green designed a set of spell casting methods suitable for "adults" to use directly - such as rubbing fireballs with sticks, fanning wind blades with slaps, picking locks with fists, and quickly treading water with both feet to achieve "water walking" and so on.

After learning the "adult" way of casting spells, Green drew inferences from others and invented a lot of strange magic: such as the "flight" of spraying gas with his feet, the "slowdown" of demonizing the ground under his feet and then entanglement the enemy to slow down the enemy, the "ultra-long-range communication" by expanding the volume, and the "reconnaissance" of the target area by firing negative energy shockwaves to destroy all obstacles along the way, etc.

Although the means of implementing these "magics" are a bit strange, they rely entirely on "powerful miracles", such as "ultra-long-range communication" by increasing the volume and "sonic attack". But this is at least a testament to the power of the Demon King class in terms of magic - although it is mainly focused on the destruction of "great miracles".

After all, Ye Luzi has certain limitations, so Green came to the academy this time, hoping to take the opportunity to make up for his theoretical shortcomings and master some fine magic operation methods. So after sneaking into the academy, Green didn't rush to investigate the "core" of the floating island, but plunged headlong into learning.

In order not to affect his studies, the Demon King even postponed the investigation and destruction of the floating island, and a cursed doll that was caught by the professor was naturally ignored by Green.
