"Good morning, everyone, I'm the new Olympiad professor at the Iyeta Academy of Magic, you can call me Lynn......"

Under the surprised or suspicious gaze of the students, Lynn stood on the podium, using her hand as a pen and pure magic as ink, writing her name in the void.

Then the quiet classroom immediately became noisy.

"Professor Lynn, I heard you're coming from the other side of the Sea of Mist, can you tell us what it's like out there?"

"Professor Philip said that you think this continent is spherical, so why don't the people down there fall down?"

……

It was because Lynn looked too young, about the same age as they were, so the wizarding apprentices weren't as reserved as the rest of the professors, chattering and asking questions.

For example, how he survived the Sea of Mist, defeated the Maelstrom, what kind of magic he used to destroy half of the harbor city, and even mentioned his freefall experiments.

Obviously, in just a day and a half, the word of his deeds had already spread, and the wizard apprentices who had come to listen to the lecture were not looking forward to this course, but simply curious about this new professor from the Misty Overseas.

Faced with this series of questions, Lynn didn't know which one to answer first, and at this moment, Jonny, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked.

"Professor Lynn, what is the Olympiad?"

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief before she explained.

"Good question, Olympiad is a discipline that studies complex concepts such as quantity, structure, change, space, etc., and you can use it to measure the circumference of the planet under your feet, explore the movement of the stars, and analyze the constants of the universe...... The Olympiad contains almost everything you see, and it is the most important tool for insight into the truth and understanding the world! ”

While speaking, Lynn used the principle of sound wave transmission to increase her volume, which caused everyone's eardrums to buzz, and successfully quieted the originally noisy classroom again.

Every apprentice present couldn't help but feel a little fascinated by the extremely lofty terms that popped out of Lynn's mouth, and many of them realized that they were taking a very special magic lesson.

However, Lynn, who finished painting the flatbread, changed his words and continued to speak. "Of course, these advanced math knowledge is still too far away from you, and now you must start with the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division......"

"Isn't that just counting?" The apprentice leaning in the front row couldn't help but interrupt. "We've already learned all of this in the basics."

The prerequisite for learning magic is literacy and understanding the most basic arithmetic principles, so Iyeta Academy usually teaches children born in poor families for a period of time the basics, teaching them literacy, arithmetic, and recognizing basic magical symbols.

"After learning multiplication and division, can we master some kind of powerful magic?" Another wizard apprentice asked curiously.

"I can't." Lynn shook her head.

Seeing that he denied it, the expressions on the faces of the students suddenly became very disappointed, and some even suspected that Lynn was just fooling them into taking this class by saying that the Olympiad was so miraculous.

"Isn't this Olympiad math course the same as the basic course? It's not difficult to do the math, it only took me a little over a month to master them all......" asked a young man who looked up about fifteen years old and had freckles on his face, looking up proudly.

"Oh? Is it? Are you sure? Lynn asked with a smile and clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.

Although he can release [Magic-Barrage] to show these people the powerful power of combining magic and Olympiad, Lynn knows that if the Olympiad class wants to continue, he must let these people know that even pure mathematics still has unimaginable power!

"In that case, let's make a bet!" A smile appeared on the corner of Lynn's mouth, and he reached out and snapped his fingers, and under the effect of the [Mage's Hand], the four desks in front of him floated, and then spliced together into an even larger square table.

The quill pens that were then placed on the lectern were automatically dipped in ink, dividing the large square table into six rows and six horizontal and vertical rows, for a total of thirty-six squares.

"The rules are very simple, put one copper coin in the first square, two in the second square, four in the third, ......and so on," Lynn said in a very seductive tone, looking around at each of the apprentices in the classroom.

"If anyone can fill these squares with the corresponding coins, I will immediately write a request to explain to the Wizarding Council that he has completed the Olympiad with perfect marks, and give him another bottle of [Source of Magic]......"

"Professor, is this true? You're not kidding, are you? Another tall, thin apprentice in his twenties, Peirce, stood up abruptly and asked with great excitement.

What is the Source of Magic?

That's the most important thing for a wizard apprentice to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, and it's worth hundreds of ...... Even hundreds of magic coins, and it's not like money can buy it!

And for a scumbag like him, who has not been able to complete any subject in his twenties, Lynn's two commitments are particularly important.

"Of course, with my personality as a guarantee!" Lynn nodded and said without hesitation.

Listening to Lynn's decisiveness, Peirce hesitated for a moment, life experience told him that there could be no such cheap thing in the world, either the professor in front of him was fooling himself, or there was something wrong with it.

Peirce did the rough mental calculations, but soon he couldn't do the math, and could only roughly estimate that it would take sixty-three copper coins to fill the first six squares of the first row, which didn't seem to be a lot.

"Does anyone want to give it a try? There is only one place! Lynn said seductively again.

"I'm coming!" The young man with freckles on his face stood up impatiently, interrupting his words before.

Peirce looked at Elok who stood up, and suddenly his intestines were remorseful, he shouldn't have hesitated, he didn't even have the courage to fight, no wonder he had not been able to be promoted to official wizard.

"What's your name?" Lynn asked curiously.

"I'm Ellock, Professor!" The wizard said loudly.

It turns out that your kid is called Elok......

Lynn nodded, yesterday happened to accept the other party's father's favor, and asked him to take care of this kid more.

Isn't this opportunity?

"Eloke, right, I have to warn you first, this gamble can't be abandoned, since you play, then you have to fill the entire square, and the money put up will be used as research funds for this discipline, this is your promise in exchange for me, and the price of [Source of Magic]!" Lynn kindly reminded.

"Of course no problem!" Alok patted his chest and said, although he couldn't calculate how many copper coins it would cost to fill these squares, he knew very well the value of a copper coin and a bottle of [Source of Mana].

That's a million-fold difference!

Millions of copper coins can fill this thirty-two squares no matter what, no, maybe only twenty or thirty thousand copper coins will be enough.

And the [Source of Magic] is something that money can't buy!

"Then please!" Lynn gestured to the square table, a trademark smile on his face, signaling for Elok to begin his performance.

Alok was not stage frightened at all, and directly took out his money bag and placed the first copper coin on the first square.

Then two, four, eight, sixteen... Thirty-two......

By the time he reached the sixth square, he had already run out of copper coins, and the seventh square required sixty-four copper coins......

Elok took a silver coin in his hand, hesitated for a while and did not put it down directly, but turned his head to look at the students who were watching the play, and said very proudly. "Can anyone lend me some copper coins? When I fill this square, I'll give it back twice as much tomorrow! ”

Under the encouragement of Ellock, the wizard apprentices present generously donated their money bags one after another, and they were not worried that the other party would not be able to pay it back, and Peirce, who was still regretting it, even took out all his savings - six gold coins!

Soon the borrowed coins were piled up all over the table, and only Jonny watched and did not mean to take the money.

"Jonny, aren't you going to make some money with it?" Lynn asked curiously. "Or do you already have the result?"

The silver-haired girl gave him a blank look, and although she couldn't figure out how many copper coins it would take to fill thirty-six squares, she knew that Lynn's brain was definitely fine, and she couldn't take out a bottle of [Source of Magical Power].

Elok on the side was full of confidence, all the apprentices' funds were put together, there were already more than twenty gold coins and more than two hundred copper and silver coins, no matter how you could fill these squares!

With that in mind, Alok grabbed a handful of coins and filled in the second row of squares.

In total, forty silver, ninety-five copper, and one-third of the square table was filled.

Easy, too easy.

Most of the apprentices had begun to wonder why they hadn't been the first to step up, and even Jonny, who had a lot of confidence in Lynn, began to waver, could this square table really be filled?

Elok was even more energetic, piling up forty silver coins and ninety-six copper coins into the thirteenth square, but when he continued to fill in, he vaguely noticed that something was wrong, because the last square in the third row needed to put down a full thirteen gold coins!

That's probably ...... It seems like...... Seem...... Isn't it a bit much?

Ellock's expression became hesitant, and he didn't have enough money to fill in another square.

"You can write the amount directly with a pen, and then you can count it together!" Lynn reminded indifferently, and did not mean to embarrass the other party.

Alok looked at the remaining half of the squares, gritted his teeth, took the quill on the side, and filled it out line by line.

Two hundred... No... Three hundred...... As long as the total amount he spent was less than three hundred magic gold coins, his father should be able to forgive him, after all, the [Source of Magic Power] could not be bought with money.

However, with this in mind, Elok only filled in four squares, and found that his budget had been used up, and he had to post a lot of them.

Under Lynn's "kind" gaze, Ellock's hand writing numbers was shaking, and the numbers were so large that he had to use pen and paper to assist in the calculation when he filled in the third line.

But Ellock preferred not to be able to count it himself, and his heart tightened for every number he wrote, and by the time he wrote the fifth line, he was on the verge of crying.

Alok had silently counted the family's assets in his mind, and then discovered something that frightened him.

Their family seems to be bankrupt......

No, this is no longer a problem that bankruptcy can solve.

Because to fill the last one of the fifth rows, you need a full fifty-three thousand six hundred and eighty-seven magic gold coins!

Ellock's mind was clouded, and the whole person fainted directly, even if he became an official wizard in the future, he wouldn't be able to make so much money by working non-stop for hundreds of years!

And there's a whole row on that square table that hasn't been filled!

"Elok...... Elok! ”

Elok was taken aback by the sudden collapse of the class, and Lynn was no exception, he didn't want to scare people to death the first time class started.

After using his shallow medical knowledge to check it out, Lynn quickly found that the other party was fine, and immediately made an ice cube and pressed it on his forehead, which quickly woke the person up.

Alok was in a trance, as if he had just had a dream that he had played a game with the professor and was in debt that he would never repay......

When he opened his eyes, he realized a fact that he didn't want to face—it didn't seem to be a dream, but a real ......

"Now that you're awake, let's fill in the last squares as agreed!" Lynn patted Elok on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

Elok had an expression on his face that was more ugly than crying, but he had to sit in his position, and in the end he could only completely mess up, comforting himself in his heart, he couldn't afford to give 50,000 magic gold coins, so what difference did it make if it increased to 200,000 or 500,000?

What a difference!

A long list of numbers writes about Ellock's brain breakdown.

After filling out the last square, Alok had to count the units one by one with his fingers.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, thousand, one hundred thousand, million, million, million, billion...... Alok couldn't bear to count it, but Lynn directly revealed the answer.

"Three hundred and forty three hundred and fifty thousand nine hundred seventy three thousand three hundred and sixty-eight copper coins!"

Hearing this terrifying figure, the students present were all dizzy, looking at the boxy long table in front of them, it was hard to imagine that 33.3 billion copper coins were actually contained in this small square!

Jonny's face also showed an expression of disbelief, although she could think that it must be a lot of copper coins to fill the square, but she had never expected it to be so terrifying.

Not to mention Elok, I'm afraid I can't make up the money if I can sell the entire Iyeta seaport directly!

A mere checkered game instantly gave a group of wizard apprentices a taste of the horror called exponential growth!

Lynn looked at the students who were silent and still immersed in the huge numbers, and said solemnly.

"This is the power of the Olympiad! If someone could convert the power of the arcane into magic, it would be powerful enough to destroy this planet and even the entire universe! ”

This is no joke!

Theoretically, when a piece of paper is folded in half 103 times, its theoretical thickness exceeds the diameter of the observable universe.

Anything that can keep it growing exponentially can quickly blow up the entire universe!
