CHAPTER 14 – DUNGEON PRACTICE (2)

A few days had passed since the semester began in earnest.

If there was one thing that I felt while attending Stella, it was that high schools and universities in Korea were so hard that it couldn’t even be compared.

If my stamina wasn’t good at a superhuman level, I might have collapsed right away.

“As you all know, 90% of the world’s population learns magic, but less than 20% of them can use offensive magic. This kind of attack magic should never be used without a ‘license’, do you know why?”

“Isn’t that because attack magic is dangerous?”

“Yes, that’s pretty much the answer. If there’s one bigger problem, it’s that you don’t know where the magic will go.”

Magic was dangerous. Incomparable to the Earth’s firearms, the misuse of flame-based magic could burn down an entire building, the mismanipulation of water-based magic could cause the collapse of an entire construction site; there was also an unfortunate accident where earth-based magic splattered on a passerby, killing him instantly.

“Attack magic needs to be manipulated more precisely than any other magic. That’s why you must take this class, ‘Mana Orbitology’.”

Mana Orbitology Professor Karleim wrote three words on the blackboard.

“Attack magic is divided into three main categories.”

‘Shooting’ fired from the caster’s body.

‘Target’ that creates magic by specifying coordinates,

‘Area’ that hits the entire area within a certain range.

“Each magic has its pros and cons. Shooting magic instantly modifies its trajectory and allows you to quickly fire at the enemy, but the enemy can see it and dodge or block it. Target magic can hit unconditionally if the enemy recognizes it late, but it is weak and the coordinates are very difficult to specify, so the casting time is very long. So, what about the characteristics of the area magic?”

“We can attack the entire range, and we can hit several people.”

“Yes, but the efficiency of mana consumption is very poor, so wizards with a low amount of mana cannot use it well. There are downsides. Starting today, you will be learning orbital with a focus on shooting and targeting for interpersonal battles. You were bored of studying formula in middle school, right?”

‘Yeah!!’ students shouted because it basically meant that they wanted to stop studying and go into practice.

“Unfortunately, you have to memorize the orbital formula today.”

A sigh came out, but it couldn’t be helped. Because the professor has to train the students slowly by taking out the curriculum.

“Then, shall we solve this formula?”

Professor Karleim wrote the problem on the blackboard.

[There is Cheolsu running at a speed of 12.6% to the south from 760m to the north. At this time, find the trajectory and expected observation distance needed for Younghee to hit Cheolsu with the water flow magic ‘Water Air Force’.]

Yes. Orbital was mathematics.

“Anyone who wants to answer this question?”

It was not about a different attribute, but a water flow system. The students’ eyes frowned.

Water flow magic required formulas and fluid mechanics to explain flowing substances, but this study was notoriously difficult and difficult to the extent that all wizards were reluctant to do so, so only basic knowledge was known, and it was hardly touched unless you majored in water flow magic.
