Chapter 136 It's Just an Accident (4k)
***Edited by Kronost***
The first Monday of November.
Professor Silver finally returned, and she briefly mentioned the progress of the incident in class, and then severely criticised the students' enthusiasm for adventuring into the secret passages.
In addition, she claimed to put golems into the secret passages and increase the intensity of night patrols.
Every student caught exploring the secret passages would be deducted a lot of credits.
If they were caught after the dormitory closes, they would be grounded!
Moreover, Professor Lily would no longer send "Guiding Fairies" to pick up students.
Those who get lost in the secret passages would take full responsibility for themselves!
...
"That is to say, as long as you don't go in the secret passages at night or go to the secret passage at night without being caught by the golem and promise not to get lost, it's completely okay?"
Dark felt that he understood Professor Silver correctly.
Not directly blocking the entrance to the secret passage was actually a statement.
The academy was not against students going anywhere to explore, but they were deliberately reducing the number of people entering the secret passages.
This didn't really matter to most people.
After all, most people hadn't found anything in the secret passage, so if they were not allowed to go, they would just stop going.
After so many days, the enthusiasm that had bloomed was almost exhausted.
Only a small number of students with a strong purpose would probably play hide and seek with the golems in the secret passage.
Anyway, White and Robert both had a woe-begone expression from the beginning to the end.
...
After Professor Silver handed out more than twice the usual amount of homework, the Summoning class ended.
And the first-year students finally ushered in the long-awaited magic class!
They temporarily put down their complaints about the double homework, brought large and small bags of materials, and waited early in the Magic Theory classroom.
Professor Cazer walked into the classroom on time and said humorously to the students, "It seems that everyone has a lot of credits—and many of you have brought more materials than I expected."
It was indeed a lot of materials.
After all, one [Magic Bullet Spell] material was only about 100 credits, so many students would bring two more packs to prevent failure. This was very normal.
Most students weren't that ambitious, and their level also didn't allow them to.
In short, it was a relatively rational choice to start learning from [Magic Bullet Spell], and then try to learn more difficult and more expensive [Push Push Curse], [Obstruction spell], and others after mastering the Magic Charm imprinting method.
In order to ensure that at least one card could be completed in class, it was a safe bet to bring two or three packs of materials.
Like Dianna and Rose, they brought together five packs of [Magic Bullet Spell] materials and three packs of [Push Push Curse] materials, adding up to a total of 1,100 credits.
For them, this was a big expense.
And for Emma who had lots of credits, she prepared three packs of [Magic Bullet Spell] materials, two packs of [Push Push Curse] materials, and one pack of [Obstruction spell] materials.
Of course, there were also credit upstarts like White who bought two full packs of [Blinking Spell].
However, Robert next to him was relatively poor, and only bought two [Magic Bullet Spell] materials and one [Push Push Curse] materials.
In any case, White seemed determined to make [Blinking Spell].
...
Professor Cazer just glanced at it and knew what each student was thinking.
He had a wealth of teaching experience and almost immediately foresaw the fate of some students.
But sometimes it was the prerogative of young people to pay a certain price to learn lessons.
Unlike them, older people would lose this privilege gradually.
A trace of loneliness flashed on Professor Cazer's face, but soon he resumed his smile and bellowed loudly, "Okay, as you all know, we will learn the orthodox method of making the magic spell card - Magic Charm Card in this class!"
...
"Professor, hurry up!"
"My material is already thirsty for some action!"
"Shoot him, Magic Bullet!"
Oh well, some people were already fantasising about the moment when they used [Magic Bullet Card].
...
As a teacher, it is natural to want to see students show their most enthusiastic side in their classrooms.
Professor Cazer didn't say anything else, and fast-forwarded to the imprinting session.
He detailed how to imprint the Magic Charm onto a blank magic card while writing on the blackboard.
There was a wave of "rustling" sound under the podium.
Only at this time, the students didn't need to be supervised at all.
About half an hour later, the entire blackboard was covered with dense writings.
But these were still not enough.
There were just too many details to pay attention to in imprinting Magic Charm.
It was not something that could be taught in a class or two.
Students need to practice by themselves, and then ask questions when they encounter problems, and the professor would answer them one by one during class time.
For experiments like this, if there was no one guiding them, just reading the book would make no sense at all.
...
But anyway, it was finally time to start making the cards.
Almost all students started with [Magic Bullet Spell].
Because this was the most basic and simplest Magic Charm Card, it was a must-have card for beginners if they wanted to master the basics.
In this regard, even Dark was no exception.
He was very aware of the importance of mastering the fundamentals.
No matter how tall a building is, it also requires building a foundation first.
In the entire classroom, only White was trying to conquer [Blinking Spell]; maybe this was the spirit of the Brave One.
...
The production of Magic Charm Cards was actually quite similar to that of Potion Cards.
One of the cores of both was the refining of "ink".
The "ink" of the Potion Card was the corresponding potion, but the Magic Charm Card needed to be configured with different inks according to each Magic Charm.
Dark's experience in this area was far stronger than that of other students. It took him five minutes to concoct the corresponding ink, which was a liquid close to "Cola" in nature.
The magic class calls it "Expansion Water".
"Expansion Water" is made with expansion grass as the main body.
As long as magic energy is injected into it, the "Expansion Water" would rapidly expand, and then gush out of the container like a Cola.
During the production process, some of the little magisters would accidentally inject too much magic energy, which would trigger this mechanism, causing the "Expansion Water" to be spewed out of the cup, spraying all over their faces.
"BOOM!"
Dianna's Expansion Water spewed out.
She became soaking wet.
Dark pressed his lips slightly, holding back his laughter.
Rose quickly took out the prepared towel to help Dianna wipe dry.
The students next to them wanted to laugh, but because of the distraction, their Expansion Water burst out too and caused a chain of reactions.
As Expansion Water spewed out from the students' bottles one after another, the classroom gradually got filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
When one person failed, the person would be laughed at.
If two people failed, more people would laugh.
If ten or twenty people failed, no one would be able to laugh.
Dark opened the excerpted "Magic Bullet Spell" and started imprinting Magic Charm.
Unconsciously, Professor Cazer came behind him.
In addition to the concoction of ink, the most important thing for Magic Charm's imprinting was that when writing Magical Language with a magic energy pen, the amount and fluctuation frequency of magic energy required for each stroke and each painting must be accurate and stable enough.
This was too difficult for the little magisters who had just awakened their magic energy.
The more advanced the Magic Charm Card, the higher the requirements in this regard.
During the process of making Magic Charm Cards for beginners, more than 80% of the magisters failed here.
It was the first time Dark transcribed Magic Charm according to the standard method. In order to be able to master it as soon as possible, he specially prepared a large number of 10-credit magic cards and made about five or six attempts before starting to write on the magic card that had been processed.
Magic Charm could be written in a variety of formats.
[Magic Bullet Spell] on the other hand was a standard nine-square grid, and only nine characters were needed to form a Magic Charm.
But writing these nine characters was anything but simple.
Dark was also extremely careful, and it took him a full ten minutes to transcribe the entire nine-character Magic Charm!
It wasn't until he did it successfully that Professor Cazer nodded slightly and turned to look at the other students.
...
The little magisters underestimated the production of [Magic Bullet Spell]: They thought that it was just "copying", and anyone could do it.
But they didn’t expect that they would fail so quickly.
According to the frequency of failure of some people, let alone three packs of materials, even thirty packs of materials would not be enough.
Fortunately, after the first failure, most people learned their lesson and practised the transcription of [Magic Bullet Spell] with blank papers.
Although the effect of practising on paper was not as good as that of practising on a blank magic card, it could increase their proficiency.
...
For the final step of making a Magic Charm Card, what needed to be used was No. 5 magic refining circle called "Demeter magic refining circle".
Demeter was one of the inventors of the Magical Language; he codified the 63 magic characters that form the basis of the Magical Language.
...
After Dark successfully drew the No. 5 magic refining circle, he put it in the core material of [Magic Bullet Spell], and only then the entire refining step was over.
After waiting for about two minutes, the Magic Charm Card was finally refined.
Dark then used the same steps to create a second [Magic Bullet Spell]. This time, the refining speed was significantly faster, and his proficiency was further increased.
Then.
Dark did not pay any attention to the progress of the other students and immediately started refining [Push Push Curse].
[Push Push Curse] was indeed a step harder than [Magic Bullet Spell]; although he had been careful enough, he still failed once.
Of course, he was not discouraged and continued to refine the second card.
In the middle of refining, the bell that indicated the ending of the class rang.
But Dark was not affected and continued.
The same was true for most students in the classroom.
This was quite incredible for the little magisters who often wanted to rush out when they heard the class-ending bell.
But the magic card refining experiment had the charm that could grab people's hearts.
Time passed by slowly.
Professor Cazer also did not leave the classroom.
Under his careful guidance, students one after another completed the production of [Magic Bullet Spell].
While these students gained a great sense of achievement, they showered their smiles one after another.
Some of them left the classroom, while others stayed in the classroom to continue observing other student’s refining process.
Among the students of Knight House and Noble House, there were three students that attracted most people’s attention.
Dark, Emma, and White—all three of them sat at three conspicuous spots in the classroom, all still very focused.
Emma's progress wasn't much slower than Dark's.
She had bought three packs [Magic Bullet Spell] materials, failing to make one but succeeding in making two.
Now she had also begun to study the refining of [Push Push Curse].
White Gawd, on the other hand, was still working on the [Blinking Spell] refining.
It looked like he was under a lot of pressure: His eyebrows were furrowed, and he had to think for a long time before continuing to the next step.
The [Blinking Spell] material was worth 1000 credits!
Even though he ranked second in the year ranking of the masquerade, he could only afford three packs of [Blinking Spell] materials.
As a result, the pressure he had during the production process was tremendous.
The nervousness even infected Robert on the side.
Robert stared intently, his toes curled.
As for Robert himself, he had successfully wasted two packs of [Magic Bullet Spell] materials and one [Push Push Curse] material.
...
Twenty-eight minutes after the class-ending bell rang.
Dark finally completed the refining of the [Push Push Curse].
This time, he learned from the first failure experience and did not make another mistake, and he succeeded as expected.
"In this way, I have two [Magic Bullet Spell] and one [Push Push Curse]. As for the following experiment, I will continue it in the afternoon."
"Mhm, White seems to be refining [Blinking Spell]? I should take this opportunity to observe it. Maybe I can gain some experience from him?"
As Dark packed up the materials, he turned to look at White on the other side of the classroom.
But his luck didn't seem to be good.
Just as he was about to observe it, something went wrong in White's refining process.
Not knowing if it was because the magic energy input was too much or something else, the magic card that was still in the refining process suddenly exploded!
"BOOM!"
White jumped back suddenly, showing a very fast reaction speed.
Although he fell to the ground with a chair behind him, he managed to avoid the explosion.
But Robert, who had been by his side, was not so lucky.
The black smoke from the explosion of the magic card hit his face almost directly.
He sat blankly, turning into a piece of charcoal completely.
Professor Cazer hurriedly took a step forward, and the water element he summoned in an instant rolled up and wrapped around Robert.
"Fortunately, it's not a serious injury. Only his hair is a little scorched." Professor Cazer sighed lightly, and let the water element carry Robert out of the classroom.
"I'll take him to the infirmary; don't forget to clean up the classroom when you leave."
...
This experimental accident happened quickly and was solved quickly.
When the students came to their senses, Professor Cazer had taken Robert away.
White, who had fallen to the ground, looked stunned.
...
"It's just an experimental accident."
Emma took one look and continued her experiment.
...
"It's just an experimental accident."
Dark thought silently.
"He should be able to draw enough experience from this failure, right?"
...
"It's just an experimental accident."
Dianna grumbled.
"I can't even have an experimental accident."
"Dark! Dark! Help me!"
...
Dark had no choice but to turn on teaching mode.
While Dianna and Rose were greatly benefited, he also had a new understanding of the production of [Magic Bullet Spell] from another perspective.
As a result, he accumulated more knowledge.
