"Speak"
'Thought'
___________________________________________________________
The class was very boring. The words were spoken by the Professor of magic, Lee Hak-beom, sounded plain and amateurish as if he were talking to simpletons.
'Can you tell me what the class was even about?'
'Human sleeping pill'. That was the nickname of Lee Hak-beom. If his pupils ware in the first grade, the class should make them feel like they're in the first grade, but he didn't share that notion.
"So, what do you guys think about double casting? people say that casting two spells at the same time is an ability of geniuses only. Still, in fact, I think it is possible for ordinary people as well. Magic casting has a fixed pattern, right? If you create 'one system' that can handle this quickly … …."
"Huh"
Kang Min-hyuk yawned out loud.
'I'm so sleepy.'
Professor Lee Hak-beom's explanation tickled his ears. He eventually succumbed to drowsiness.
the class began to giggle. Min-hyuk's head nodded as he drifted to sleep.
'once I wake up this boring class will finally be over.' he thought, before going to sleep
He was so sure.
"Kang Min-hyuk! wake up!" he felt the sudden surge of pain. placing his hand on the back of his head, he wondered who or what hit him
it was not him
This person was not Professor Lee Hak-beom.
"Mr. Oh… …."
"Klinsmann do you find my class? Do you want me to make it harder? Great point that your eyes was squeal wide open? I should bring you to the punishment committee right now, but I'll let you without punishment, just this once. Now, get up and explain the theory in the textbook"
"yes?"
"move!"
Bump!
Min-hyuk thought he must have been going crazy he was so terrified that he didn't even bother checking through the professor was, or why he called him Klinsmann.
The professor's face was bright red, and it looked like it would explode any minute. He hurriedly opened the textbook.
"...Double casting? "
The theory that Professor Hak-Beom Lee spoke of was there, but how could he begin explaining it, in that strange reality to which he now belongs belonged?
'How do I explain in an unknown world with no memory of who that professor was this?'
With that in mind, he found himself able to give only one response.
"I'm not sure."
The punishment was obvious. How could he explain that he was only a first grader with no knowledge about double casting? For the man's facial expression, he could tell he was about to get punished.
"It's not enough to sleep in my class, huh? You could not even explain a basic theory that even monkeys know? Okay. I tried to let you off the hook, but clearly, I no longer have a reason to do that."
Wait. What? What is double casting again? Wasn't that a high-level skill in magic essence?
But he said that the theory was basic, an elementary course! Min-hyuk convince himself that he had to be dreaming; he felt another sharp hit at the back of his head.
Bang!
"Go to the school office, right now!"
Yes, yes it was not a dream. It was in, in fact, reality.
* * *
He was embarrassed enough after getting hit into his head and now he was being sent to the office.
'… … what?'
School office.
Usually, he thinks of a big space that gives off the smell of a book. Still, it felt like 'a room of wizards' as if he was in a scene from Harry Potter, with the magic tools and the professors dragging their robes.
The professor beckoned him to enter a room and offered him a seat. He was nervous. Magic moving so many objects at once. It must have been dynamism but using such high-level magic was unheard of at least in his reality. That type of magic consume exorbitant amounts of mana and stamina for just one try, and no sane person would use their kinetic powers so casually.
Anyway…
"Klinsmann."
The headmaster's response was dubious.
She sat expectantly on his chair. He looked up at Min-hyuk with a sharp glance, "I still don't grasp how you got in the 'Royal Magic Academy'. But surely, if advance like you can't even explain basic theory, there is no place for you in this Academy. it's unfair for those students who study hard to have you here."
that sounded fair.
However, the headmaster's words still confused him.
'Double casting is a basic theory?'
'What is the Royal Academy again?'
'Why do you keep calling me Klinsmann?'
He was so confused.
The headmaster continued to spit out warnings, and it was not long before he could leave the office.
Then he concluded.
'This is not Korea.'
His heart rattled, and he sat down.
He remembered being in Professor Hak-Bum Lee's class, so how did he get here?
He needs Information.
He hurriedly moved to the classroom, where he first woke up.
* * *
Name: Klinsmann.
Age: 14 years old.
He learned that from Professor Albert's class, but he has no memory of that.
Eventually, he had to ask his classmates what they were. They said some useful information despite their weird looks at him.
"Where are you? Are you out of your mind? This is the Royal Academy of Magic, the most prestigious educational institution in the UK."
"Korea? Do you mean Monster Land? Korea is a country that was destroyed a long time ago. I don't know what you're talking about, but Korea and Russia have turned into a monster land. So, stop sleeping and get ready for class!"
"Enhanced civilization? What a bullshit. There is no 'knight' in this world. Sometimes some guys say they are witches, but they have strong magic, and you don't have to fight them yourself."
It was all lot to take.
By talking with his classmates, Min-hyuk understood a little about the world.
'It was clear that I'm still on Earth. This country's name and language proved it, but this is not like the world I was living in.'
Parallel Universe.
Maybe that's it.
There was no other explanation. This is like Earth, but with a completely different civilization.
'The Earth I lived in has developed a reinforced civilization due to the invasion of monsters. We strengthened the human body with the spirits extracted from the monsters. We fought directly with the monsters to protect our territory. But I have no idea what the Ganghwa civilization is. No, the system of civilization is different in the first place. '
He felt dizzy.
This world, a parallel universe, has similarities to where he lived before, but a completely different civilization blossomed.
There were many questions.
However, there was one thing he wanted to check.
"… … Was the Professor using salt power. Have you ever seen the British archangel or something like that?"
He asked carefully.
But the replies were absurd.
His classmates made faces and spit out words as if they were driving out an annoying worm.
"What are you talking about earlier? Salt power magic is popular magic. Are you talking about that special magic called Archmage? Archmage is a sacred title. It is said that the title of Archmage can only be obtained if you climb at least 7 circles. But how can you call Albert, a fifth-circle wizard, an Archmage?"
Thud!
It seemed to be a strong fit.
The kinetic power is a popular magic, and Professor Albert, the 5th-circle wizard, spoke as if he were referring to a 'subclass'.
It was completely different from what Min-hyuk knew in his world.
'… … In the world I lived in, a 5th-circle wizard can be considered an enchantress though.'
He was now sure.
He lived in Ganghwa civilization. And this is a parallel universe.
'It is a world where magical civilization has developed.'
Magic civilization.
A completely unfamiliar word stuck in his heart.
He sat down and looked at the cover of the book he was using in Albert's class.
[Elementary Magic]
Albert is a 5th circle wizard.
He was a failure as a wizard, and he said that he was in the academy to lay the basics of wizardry.
'This is a very low-level theory in magical civilization.'
Shook. He turned over the bookshelf.
Saying 'Double Casting' earlier was an embarrassment.
[Double casting means using two magic simultaneously. Even at the time of the first magic, double casting was an unknown word, but since 'auto casting' was invented, casting was no problem for humans. … … Nowadays, many spells can be used at once since Multi Casting has become the standard for judging the wizard's magical power.]
'… … Auto casting? '
Auto casting.
Multi casting.
They are all unfamiliar words.
He turned over the bookshelf and looked more closely.
[Auto casting is a form that records the magic system in one's Mana. It is a modified form of Memorize magic. If you use the same magic repeatedly by distributing Mana in a certain form, the magic is automatically displayed when you use that type of Mana. This is the most basic skill that used Mana's 'memory' to empower this world to fight monsters.]
That's it.
Min-hyuk swallowed his dry saliva.
It was a world that he did not fully understand yet, but he was convinced of the contents of the textbook.
'Professor Hak-beom Lee said that double casting is only allowed for those who have an extraordinary brain. Simultaneously calculating the same magic formula, double casting was actually possible. But if the auto system theory that remembers the form of magic is correct, then this is a really big evolution. '
Min-hyuk's body trembled.
Is this how it feels when a savage encounters a new world?
With a tremendous amount of new knowledge embedded in his brain, he was not ready to turn over the remaining pages.
What knowledge is behind it?
If double casting is the theory of the elementary process, obviously, there is a lot more knowledge hidden in the remaining pages.
It was then.
shook-!
'… … ?!'
He became dizzy.
Suddenly, the world was spinning, he put his head on the desk where he was.
Thud.
"Kang Minhyuk. I will forgive you if you sleep in class, but don't you think snoring is over the line?"
A very familiar face.
Professor Hak-Beom Lee was looking down at min-hyuk with a hardened look.
