NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7.1
“Summoned students, nice to meet you all today.”
“Hello, sir!”
“Hello.”
The front door of the auditorium opens and a man steps up to the podium.
A yellow robe flutters behind him with every step he takes.
He sat down on the sofa on the stage, cleared his throat a few times, and then
channelled blue magic into his own throat.
“Testing testing. Ah, ah, can you hear me fine in the back?”
The reverberation of the voice spreads to every corner of the auditorium.
It was the manifestation of voice amplification magic.
Even the students, who were very curious about the display of magic when they first saw it, are now not so moved by it since they have witnessed it more than 10 times already.
Several students at the front opened their notebooks and picked up their pens to prepare for the lesson.
“Oh, don’t worry, today’s class won’t be as difficult and boring as yesterday’s history class. There won’t be too many notes to jot down...”
He is a flame wizard affiliated with the National Institute of Magic, and a teacher who has been teaching the summoned of the other world’s common knowledge for the past two weeks.
To this day, he has taught lessons on culture, traditions, etiquette, geography, and history, starting with the social system of the Empire.
The delivery of education progressed as quickly as possible so we could be in tune with the basic knowledge a noble would possess.
At first, everyone listened intently to his classes, but as they progressed to uninteresting and boring topics, more and more students lost their motivation to learn.
‘I have said that they’re all commoners, but there’s nothing they can do about it, nor did they react much to that tidbit of information. Tsk, I can’t imagine a country without nobles, but...’
He didn’t expect an aristocratic level of intelligence from just mere commoners.
In fact, he was the aide of a baron and no different in rank from a commoner, but he acted like a typical aristocrat who looked down on commoners with less of a capability than himself.
But he had no complaints about delivering the class at all.
His researcher’s passion was burning at the rare opportunity to be able to communicate directly with people from another world.
Also, most of them would have no choice but to pay attention to today’s class.
Not only was it directly related to their lives when they were soon to become adults, but also because a lot of relevant questions would be asked during the Q&A session after class hours this time around, which they would probably pay close attention to.
So, he started his class with a single clap.
“Then, let’s begin our lecture on ‘attributes’.”
***
“From now on, I will be chanting the [Fire attribute]’s basic magic ‘Fireball’ without any attribute supplementation. *Flama Inig*.”
I am listening to today’s lecture with much interest.
At the same time as the teacher’s short chant, a fireball the size of his head appeared in his right hand.
Earth sciences teach us a temperature above the ignition point, oxygen, and a burning substance are the three components to start a fire.
However, magic in this other world simply ignores all this.
Personally, I am very curious about the mechanics behind all this, but the main topic of today’s class is not actually magic.
“I just spent about 50 mana to create a fireball without any attribute supplementation. So now I’m going to chant it again with my attribute active. *Flama Inig*.”
At the same time, a fireball appeared in his left hand.
However, it was very different from the fireball on his right hand.
First of all, it was more than twice as large, and it was burning much more violently.
And it wasn’t just that.
“Do you see this? This fireball is much more powerful than the previous fireball even though it only cost me 20 mana. Also, it would take too long to show here, but the duration of this magic spell is about 3 times longer than the elemental fireball. That is considerably longer.”
Magic carried out with the right attributes is cheaper, more powerful, and more efficient than magic without it.
“Attribute is talent.”
He continued.
“As you can see, those with attributes can use more powerful magic than those without. Also, there is a huge difference in the time to learn attribute-related magic. On January 1st, when I became an adult, I was given the [Fire] attribute. That I became a fire mage is, in a way, a fate foretold by the gods.”
So, attributes are tied to God and Fate.
“Attributes are a gift from the gods and proof that the gods wish to protect us. That’s why humans with attributes are chosen by the gods, and they are of the nobility.”
In addition, attributes are also related to the status system present in this world.
At that moment, his voice was louder and exudes more pride than I had ever heard previously.
“That’s it for this lecture. Thank you.”
Our applause was louder than ever.
Perhaps the influence of being able to witness the magical display that often appears in s or movies with both eyes is the main reason for this.
The voice amplification magic didn’t truly feel like magic because it was no different from a microphone or sound amplifier.
However, the renowned fireball magic is an unnatural phenomenon i.e. magic.
Perhaps some of us have only heard of this sort of thing for the first time today.
Well, it’s the first time I have seen such a display since the light magic I used to apprehend me.
“Now, I’ll be taking any questions.”
At once, Min Hye-rin, who was sitting in the row in front of me, raised her hand.
“Yes, Miss Hyerin.”
“I heard that we are going to have an attribute test on January 1, when we become adults. What exactly is the process through which our attributes are determined?”
“You’ll probably be tested at a Discriminator located in the imperial castle, but it’s nothing special besides that. If you stand in a given location, the wavelength and amplitude of the magic light emitted from the machine will tell you your attributes. There are no painful processes involved, okay?”
“Yes, thank you.”
