Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 236. Announcement]

Unlike the Faculty of Engineering, the graduation thesis of the graduating class of the Faculty of Magic did not cover the time.

Therefore, the presentation proceeded as soon as the thesis was prepared.

In the case of magic thesis, it was actually done in a wide space for magic demonstrations.

It was an academic work that emphasized practicality.

The publication date of a paper that caused a sensation in the world.

A large number of students had already flocked to the spacious speech hall, and there were professors who had arrived in advance.

“Hello professor.”

“oh! Lucia student. Are you ready for your presentation?”

“yes. Here is the presentation material.”

“Looks forward to it! Last night I was up all night.”

“Thank you for looking forward to it. I will not disappoint you.”

Lucia, still with a sleepy expression, handed out materials in advance to the seats for the professors.

It was a piece of paper on which the full text of the thesis and the order of presentation were written.

Soon, as time passed, it became noisy due to the crowd, and finally the speech hall was full.

Professor Silvecque looked at him and nodded.

“I don’t know if this place has been full of students in years.”

“I know it never happened when I was in school, but have you seen the professor?”

Edna, Silbec’s assistant, suddenly asked as if she was curious.

“To be honest, there have been times when the place was full thanks to an accident during a magic demonstration, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a gathering like this for a thesis.”

Silvecque slowly flipped through the data in his hand.

For those who had received some data before, the full text of the thesis they wanted so much was written there.

“I’ll have to take a look first before the presentation begins.”

“I’m curious. There’s been a lot of talk about this, but even though it seems theoretically possible, actually implementing it is a different thing…” ”

So, wouldn’t Adrias also attract Diene and Lucia students?”

“Is that right?”

“You can see it with your own two eyes.”

Eventually, all the professors also attended.

Not only the dean of the department, Berial, but also the principal Deos and Bahat Alven participated.

Silvec, who happened to be seated nearby, stood up with Edna and greeted them quickly.

“Oh, Lord of the Magic Tower. welcome.”

“Sylbec? Long time no see.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t see you often even though I was nearby.”

“What are you looking for? Is the Magic Tower a place anyone can stop by? It’s a place where only those I call can come.”

Confirming that it was Bahat as usual, Silbec smiled awkwardly and sat back down.

Bahat asked Silbec.

“What do you think?”

“Are you talking about this thesis?”

“okay.”

“Amazing. In fact, I wonder how they got it right.”

“yes. As if you already know the answer.”

Silbec, who caught the subtle nuances in Bahat’s words, asked in a questioning voice.

“What do you mean…?”

“I just said it. honestly isn’t it? As you said, this idea itself is worth trying. But to dig in with confidence and achieve something like this is absurd.”

Bahat said quietly.

“You steal someone else’s magic? Does this make common sense?”

The professors and their assistants nearby nodded at the contents of this thesis that came out of his mouth.

The core of this thesis was a content that defied common sense in the magical world.

“But the funny thing is that he explained it quite plausibly. It’s as clear as if I’ve been studying it for quite some time.”

“Have you read everything?”

“Who is my daughter?”

“Oh, I see.”

Seeing Bahat say that he had received the thesis from Diene in advance, Silbec wanted to read the thesis even more.

However, since I was talking to Bahat, I suppressed my desire.

“So I wondered if Adrias might have acquired some ancient knowledge.”

“If it’s ancient knowledge, it’s plausible.”

“In terms of the level of magic, it would have been more advanced now, but there are many knowledge that only existed at that time.”

Bahat said with a smirk.

“Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. In the end, the person who found it is the owner.”

“It is. Moreover, even if the knowledge actually existed, if it were intact, I think Adrias would have written the thesis alone.”

“well. He’s so clever, I don’t know.”

At Bahat’s words, Silbec tilted his head.

“If you were clever, wouldn’t you have built the ball alone?”

“It’s rather cunning, and I think it brought in my daughter and Lucia Everlast. This is just my opinion, so ignore it. Hehe.”

Silvec weighed for a moment.

Was it the benefit of being the sole author of this tremendous paper or, as Bahat said, of bringing them together?

‘In the end, Adrias’ student was listed as the first author, so it’s not that much of a loss.’

It occurred to me that maybe Bahat was right.

**

The time has come.

As people held their breath and looked up at the podium, Lucia came out first.

“Eh, this is Lucia Everlast, a 4th year Magic Faculty member who was fortunate enough to be listed as the 3rd co-author this time. We will start presenting soon, so please wait patiently.”

No one breathed even though he rubbed his sleepy eyes and spoke in a poor manner.

Soon, she disappeared behind the podium, and after some time passed, the long-awaited characters finally appeared.

“You have come a lot.”

Adrias Cromwell.

He appeared with a sword still strapped to his waist.

Bowing at the gathering of professors, he looked at the public.

“What I am going to present today will be a rather new concept. It is different from conventional magic.”

“What does it mean specifically that it is different from conventional magic?”

Adrias, who was about to make a presentation, was interrupted by someone.

Regardless of the East and the West, there were always those who were jealous of the successful person.

Professor Baker, who asked the present question, was one of them.

“This is Professor Baker. Now is not the time to take questions, but let’s deal with them.”

At that moment, countless scolding glances focused on Baker.

But Baker did not give in to the look, rather feeling like a hero overcoming adversity.

“Professor, do you teach elementary elements?”

“yes.”

“Basic elements are conveniently called elements. What category does the element you are teaching belong to?”

“element? Where are the classifications for the elements? The element itself belongs to the great category.”

Baker laughed at Adrias as if he was pathetic, and Adrias shook his head.

“I understand that the elements you teach are classified as ‘pure’.”

“Isn’t that the origin? It’s called classification, so I can’t understand!”

“Then I will correct it. Elements belong to the pure of origins, right?”

“okay.”

Unlike Baker, who nodded, the eyes of the people around him gradually focused on Adrias, and eventually became shocked.

Baker, who noticed the atmosphere belatedly, tilted his head.

“Did I say something wrong?”

“no. I guess everyone just realized it.”

“You understand? What the hell?”

“Didn’t the professor ask? What is the specific difference from conventional magic? And I asked about the origin of the elements.”

“origin……?”

Baker, who was taken aback for a moment, soon realized the meaning of Adrias’ words and began to turn pale.

“That’s a lie… that can’t be possible!”

“You make a decision after seeing all of our presentations. As a student myself, I am not sure. I am only guessing.”

“You are talking crazy! How can you be so arrogant… at best claiming that a student has found a new origin!”

When Baker’s words burst out, the people who realized it only then murmured.

origin.

It’s like a magic root.

Until now, people have only become accustomed to magic rooted in three origins.

So, the appearance of another origin caused a huge wave.

“It’s not new, it’s just what it used to be. I just haven’t been able to find it so far. I’m sure the professor knows too.”

“To say I discovered it is arrogant!”

In ancient times, it was common knowledge to all wizards that there were other origins besides the three.

However, no one has found other origins that have been lost.

“So from now on, check it out with your own two eyes. Does what I discovered have the same roots as the original origin?”

After Adrias finished speaking, Diene appeared.

Then he began to explain the thesis he had written.

“Student Adrias, who decided to take charge of the actual battle after greeting, has spoken for a long time. From now on, I will explain.”

Diene overwhelms the audience with her unique graceful behavior and tone.

Then, without hesitation, he began to explain smoothly.

Those who were listening were shocked and began to listen intently to her words.

“…Through this, we were able to discover the arrangement of mana to some extent, but the magic formula needs further research. The only peculiar thing was that this discovery required both external and internal control, unlike other magics that only controlled internally. That’s why the array of mana is calculated from a much higher level…” As

her explanation got longer, the students who were taking notes hardened their expressions.

They looked at the materials the professors were holding with envy and concentrated on their presentation.

“I will end the explanation here. Then, there will be a demonstration by student Adrias.”

Soon, Lucia, who was dozing on one side, stood facing Adrias.

And soon Lucia made a small ball of light.

“I’m sure you’ve already heard the explanation from the student Diane…”

And Adrias focused on the light and opened his mouth.

“The most important thing is how much you can control your own mana and how much you can control the mana of the outside world.”

The ball of light shook.

The ball of light, which showed violent movements as if someone was holding it and shaking it, quickly approached Adrias as if the string had been cut, and then quietly floated in the air.

“Lie…….”

The people who watched the scene were speechless with their mouths open.

To say they were fake, they felt the movement of mana accurately.

“Now this magic is mine.”

“Nonsense!”

Baker shouted and stood up.

Then Adrias said to Baker, who stood up.

“I can’t use it in practice because I still lack the proficiency. And according to this thesis, PC electronics can also prepare through sufficient practice, so it is inevitably more difficult. If you have a hard time believing it, Professor Baker, could you help me?”

“Are you trying to steal my magic? Yes, try it!”

Baker immediately used magic.

Soon, large icicles were created in the air.

And Baker felt right away.

“Ugh!”

A strange feeling that I feel for the first time in my life.

It felt like the link connected to her own magic was shaking.

“This is really…….”

He had been using magic for a while and had never felt a link between magic and himself.

However, he realized the true nature of the link for the first time in his life thanks to Adrias’ interference.

Suddenly,

Baker’s magic lost control with the feeling that something was disconnected.

Contrary to his will, Baker was tired of watching the icicles flying through the air and flying towards Adrias.

“Ah…”

“How are you? Can you feel it?”

Baker was unable to answer Adrias’ question.

“As you can see, this is a completely different type of magic from other origins. The more research you do, the more magical magics with infinite value may be researched. For example…”

Adrias blew the icicle towards Diene.

Then, Diene frowned and used mana.

“What you just saw is the transfer of magic. Of course, we need magical proficiency in this new origin of each other.”

“You gave the magic to someone else…?”

Adrias nodded at someone’s murmur.

“That’s right. You can take it from someone else, but you can also give it to someone else. Even magic that you can’t use yourself can be used once if you receive it from someone else. It will depend on research and development, but it may not be a one-off.”

After those words, the speech hall turned upside down.
