I Created Scientific Magic - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chapter 76 Please Allow Me to Challenge You

Luo’er’s inquiry was politely evaded by Lynn for the time being, but private discussions continued unabated.

As a special envoy of the Wizard Council, Tic was in no hurry to bring up the matter of testing levels, but instead he took a keen interest in asking about arcane knowledge.

Lynn had no intention of hiding anything, the broader the dissemination of these basic mathematical principles, the better, lest a day come when he proposed a theory and no one could understand it.

A banquet that had pleased both host and guests soon came to an end, and after the fairies had cleared away the leftovers from the table, Tic finally ordered his assistant to bring a transparent crystal ball with a radius of about ten centimeters, filled with an unknown liquid.

“Give it a try, Professor Lynn!” Tic handed the crystal ball over.

Lynn took the crystal ball, turned it over for a look, and asked curiously, “How is this used?”

“It’s quite simple, you just need to sense it and do as you normally do when casting spells, then judge based on the change of colors,” Tic casually stated.

Lynn nodded, tried to infuse it with magic power, and through perceptive vision, he noticed the strangeness of the liquid inside the spherical object.

This liquid was composed of some elements he didn’t recognize at all, stored lazily inside the crystal ball, presenting a high difficulty in control. Even with Lynn applying his full power, he only made these elements vibrate at a specific frequency a few times, causing a faint red glow to surface within the transparent crystal ball.

“That’s right, that’s how it’s used; you can begin the test now…” Tic reminded again, thinking that Lynn was still figuring out how to use the device, unaware that the latter had already exerted his full strength.

“Then let’s give it a try,” Lynn took a deep breath, now with a bit more confidence.

He had realized that to drive this crystal ball, what was truly being tested was a wizard’s computing power, or rather… spiritual power!

Indeed, the higher a wizard’s level, the more exponentially their spiritual power would grow, allowing them to harness more powerful and complex magic. Judging a wizard’s strength based on this wasn’t really an issue.

At this point, with the aid of his intelligent mind, he shouldn’t be inferior to a formal wizard.

What he was most concerned about instead was the direct testing of the upper limit of magic power containment within the body, which he was most likely not up to standard.

[Initiate Overload Mode!]

Lynn silently chanted in his mind, then his gaze sharpened, the crystal ball in his hand started to shake rapidly, the red light grew more intense, and eventually turned into a deep crimson.

The expressions of the professors seated around the square table varied; some were surprised, some were solemn, and others seemed to have expected this.

In just two seconds, Lynn stopped, having consumed a third of his magic power within. If this wasn’t enough to pass, then there wasn’t much he could do.

“Professor Lynn, I had no idea you were actually a Three Rings wizard,” Tic said with a sense of admiration, looking at Lynn’s somewhat youthful face.

Three Rings, huh? That seemed a bit high…

Lynn looked at the crimson crystal ball in his hand. While this aligned more with others’ perceptions of him, he wasn’t yet able to inscribe higher-ring spells in his mind.

Therefore, even though his intelligent brain had sufficient computing power, he had no immediate plans to delve into second or third-ring magic, as it was too cost-inefficient without the ability to form spell slots.

Just then, Luo’er, who was off to the side, rather abruptly posed a question. “May I be so bold as to ask, Professor Lynn, have you turned twenty this year?”

“Not yet, but it’s coming soon.” Lynn replied vaguely. He was unsure if there was magic that could test bone age, so it was better to be cautious with his reply.

“A wizard of the third ring under twenty years old…” Luo’er’s expression changed, and he couldn’t help but stand up, saying. “Professor Lynn, please allow me to challenge you.”

Lynn paused for a moment, not quite understanding why the other party suddenly wanted to do this.

“Master August of ‘Magic Star’ is indeed Lord Luo’er’s teacher!” Tic whispered in a lower voice.

With that reminder, Lynn immediately recalled such a person.

August, the most famous prodigy of Wizard Land, became a Grand Wizard around the age of twenty-four, and Lynn had not inquired about when he had broken through to the third ring.

However, judging from Luo’er’s reaction, Lynn’s existence might now be suspected of breaking the other’s record.

Lynn inwardly cursed. Had he known, he would have claimed to just have a youthful face, that he was actually twenty-five or twenty-six.

As for this sudden challenge, all the wizards present were quite interested, especially Philip, Theodore, and others who were very eager to witness the ‘hellfire’ that Laud the cripple had described as unable to be extinguished once ignited…

Given Luo’er’s insistence and the professors’ encouragement, Lynn, finding no suitable reason to refuse, could only agree to the challenge.

The location was set at Iyeta Academy’s training ground!

Helram had given the entire school a day off due to the morning flight experiment and the need to receive two distinguished guests, but even so, there was no shortage of Wizard Apprentices practicing magic hard on the training ground.

After all, in Wizard Land, passing the assessment to become an official wizard is the quickest way to change one’s circumstances and reach the pinnacle of life.

Yet even the most diligent students found it hard to resist the temptation of a spectacle, especially upon hearing that their arithmetic professor was going to duel with another wizard, and the apprentices at the training ground immediately crowded around.

You know, it’s not often you get to see a battle between official wizards.

“Johnny, I heard you came across the sea with Professor Lynn. Do you know which ring wizard the professor is?” Ailoke, looking at the two standing on the field, asked curiously.

The girl with gray hair hesitated, then shook her head and did not answer. In theory, Lynn should be a wizard of the first ring, but in the town of the harbor, he had defeated the Archbishop of the church, so she was not certain either.

Seeing that Johnny was also uncertain, Ailoke could only turn to Pearce and the others to gossip about the reasons behind Professor Lynn’s clash with Lord Luo’er from Wizard City.

No matter what the watching apprentices thought, Lynn and Luo’er stopped at a distance of twenty meters from each other after entering the training ground.

“I, Luo’er, a disciple of August, a wizard of the second ring, hereby challenge Professor Lynn of Iyeta Academy,” Luo’er said, placing his right hand on the Magic Medal over his chest and bowing slightly in a gesture of the duel etiquette in Wizard Land.

“Since it’s just a spar, then let’s stop when a point is made.” Lynn mimicked the gesture and responded succinctly.
