Chapter 52: Self-Awareness (Ask for Recommendations)
When Victor came to his senses, several of the Grand Arcanists who had been notified came to visit him as soon as possible, which made him undergo a "storm" baptism.
"Victor, thankfully you survived...... Otherwise, you've created a new history record - the fastest to die Sistile's Honor Award winner! ”
"The Legend Juggernaut" reprimanded mercilessly, "I always thought that you were a cautious person, Victor, but what you did yesterday disappointed me very much! Is it a year for you to forget my admonitions? ”
"It's just an accident," Victor defended weakly...... "who would have thought that the Cardinal Church of the Temple had sneaked into Skethiti?" ”
"Accident?"
Grant laughed angrily, "You still think the attack was an accident?" Victor, did you get hit in the head by the pig beast?? If it weren't for the seven-ring spell 'Advanced Teleportation' that is constant on the Ring of Honor, you would have died a long time ago and couldn't die anymore!! From today onwards, the Tower of Babel is your 'home'! In a few years, you won't want to leave here......"
"I protest against ......"
"Protests are ineffective! I couldn't agree more with Lord Grant's suggestion, don't think that your talent for arcane arts is everything...... Death will take away everything you have! ”
Dick Librid, the "Sleeper Mentor" with pale flames in his eyes, said in a deep voice, "Although I have some opinions about you, it does not mean that I am willing to see the Magic Society lose an Arcanist with unlimited potential. ”
"But ......"
"No, but!"
"Starry Eyes," Felton snarled, interrupting Victor's words, "Remember, Victor, you haven't completely completed the agreement between us...... I don't want those 10,000 'Arcane Points' to go down the drain!! ”
"It's decided!"
"Equivalence equilibrium," Valentin Brooke said with a cold face, "We old fellows will come to you for 'tea and chat' at any time......"
Without saying a word, Winnie Murphy raised her hand and left her own "magic mark" on Victor's body, expressing her views with practical actions.
"This ...... That's ......."
Victor was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out why he was being held so seriously.
Just as Victor was in a "daze", several of the Grand Arcanists turned around and left the room, and the conversation between them reached Victor's ears, intentionally or unintentionally.
"This month, it's up to me to study it...... Oh no, it's 'taking care' of this little one......"
"No! Sir Dick, your experiment has been at its most critical stage lately, so let me do it. ”
"Victor is our 'Silver Scholar', so I won't bother you......"
"Huh? If so, then Victor is a member of the 'Celestial Laws of Motion Inquiry Project'! ”
“……”
"What? Study? What do I have to look into? ”
After hearing these words, Victor suddenly felt a chill, as if he had become a "guinea pig" in the eyes of several great arcanists.
Shaking his head, Victor, who had personally experienced "death", expelled these distracting thoughts from his brain, and he muttered unhappily: "I will know about this sooner or later...... Let's think about how I can use my time during the 'house arrest' period. ”
……
The Tower of Babel, 2nd floor, 10th district, superior room.
"This is my 'home'?"
Victor looked left and right at the brightly lit room and smiled self-deprecatingly. Then he began to immerse himself in the great changes that had taken place in him in this quiet and comfortable environment.
"According to the ancient books preserved in the Great Library, the soul is a cognition of the nature of the world by its own consciousness, and the soul space is a more concrete expression ......"
Victor, who was in a state of inner vision, carefully examined the illusory universe in the soul space, and thought: "If this is the case, then the changes in the soul space can be explained!" Thanks to the worldview in my previous life, my understanding of the nature of the world far exceeds that of the Arcanists in the world of Walsted...... However, whether this change is a good thing or a bad thing needs to be verified by practice. ”
With this in mind, Victor came to the "Spell Training Center" on the third floor of the Tower of Babel in District 10, spent a few arcane points, and walked into a VIP-level "Spell Test Room".
With the sound of a spell coming out of Victor's mouth, the sulfur ball in his palm, the casting material, gradually gathered into a ball of crimson flames, which then condensed into a dark blue fireball the size of a skull.
Victor pushed his palm forward, and the dark blue fireball flew towards the spell test target in the center of the room with a low roar.
There was a loud bang, and there was an unimaginable explosion at the location of the target!
The defensive circle in front of Victor shimmered, insulating the oncoming shock wave from the heat.
"Tsk!"
Seeing the black smoke and firelight, Victor also smacked his lips in surprise, "Good guy! This power ...... At least it was more than twice as large as the instantaneous 'Fireball Technique', but the consumption of mental power was much lower than expected. ”
While thinking, Victor walked to the desk beside him and made a detailed record of the spell casting process.
Looking at the rows of data recorded on the paper, Victor fell into deep thought.
Through repeated spell casting, Victor found that the quantity, strength, and degree of manipulation of his mental power were all close to the level of a high-level mage, and he could use a variety of supermagic techniques for each spell...... The only difference is in the degree of mental energy consumption.
When Victor casts spells according to the standard spell casting procedure, the spell has the best effect and the lowest level of mental energy consumption. If he adds various super-magical techniques to the casting process (instant spells, free spells, silent spells, powerful spells, etc.), the effect of the spell and the consumption of mental power will be in a "fixed proportional relationship...... In other words, the more powerful the spell, the greater the consumption of mental power; The lower the power of the spell, the lower the consumption of mental power.
Based on experience, Victor made a bold guess: "When the space of my soul changes, it has a subtle echo with the laws of this world...... So, the clearer, more concrete, and more thorough my understanding of the nature of the world will be, the more proficient I will be in the use of magic? Or even create and construct new spells? What would happen if I completely transformed the scientific system from my previous life into an arcane system? ”
As the speculation grew, more questions surfaced in Victor's mind, and due to the limitations of various factors, Victor could only put them on hold for the time being, waiting for future exploration.
“…… One day, I will be in charge of the 'Scepter of Truth'!" ”
