First-year magic students were gathered in the main auditorium of the magic building.
Students sitting on simple chairs provided in the main auditorium were reading their notes with tense faces.
“Ugh! tremble! “I feel sick!”
Carl poured some of the stomach medicine he had made himself into his mouth.
Students around the area saw this and came rushing in to buy stomach medicine.
“Are you still resourceful during this time?”
“I’m expecting a good test score, so I have to work hard for this. By the way, Leo, you’re an honors student, so I guess you’re not nervous?”
“Not really.”
“Is he that calm?”
Carl, grumbling enviously, glanced at the back of Chloe, who was sitting in the front row.
Chloe looked like a wreck during the exam period, but today she looked very neat.
It’s not just Chloe.
All the magic students were dressed up.
Today’s unique magic announcement was not just a test, but also an opportunity to announce one’s achievements as a wizard.
Since you have chosen a career as a wizard, it is inevitable that you will often attend magic theory thesis presentations.
So this was also practice for the upcoming presentation.
At that time, the auditorium door opened and three wizards entered.
Dressed neatly as one, they stood on the podium with stern expressions.
“It’s been a while, Associate Professor Ren. Oh, you’re a professor now, right?”
“Hehe. Nice to meet you too after a long time. okay. “Now I’m a professor.”
After welcoming them warmly, Professor Ren went up to the podium and spoke.
“Now, everyone pay attention.”
Professor Ren stood on the podium and drew the attention of the students.
“Let me introduce them. From the left, Rilda Pedny, Eidman Slak, and Shin Huzda. All three of you are your seniors who graduated from Lumern’s magic department three years ago. “Today, I will evaluate you as judges, not as seniors and juniors.”
The students’ eyes lit up at those words.
Professor Ren is popular among magic students.
He had a handsome appearance and good personality, but even more than that, his teaching ability was outstanding.
But more than that, he was a professor famous for setting strict standards.
Therefore, he was a very burdensome opponent for the judges.
It was natural that the tension eased as I heard that graduated seniors, not Professor Ren, would be the judges.
Carl also said, ‘Oh~! Good luck!’ He said and liked it.
“I don’t think it’s something you would enjoy?”
“huh? why?”
“Professor Ren brought in judges from outside. Will it be easy?”
“… … .
Karl’s face became slightly anxious at those words.
Meanwhile, three people sat on the judges’ table in front of the podium.
When they took out paper and a fan and showed that they were ready, Professor Ren held up a list and called out the student’s name.
“Illyana Raden.”
Druk-!
With those words, Illyana went up to the podium.
“Hello, seniors. My name is Illyana Raden from Class 5! “It’s such an honor to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too, Student Illyana. “I’m looking forward to hearing my cute junior’s presentation.”
Rilda Pedny adjusted her glasses and smiled softly.
In response, Illyana gently twisted her body and smiled as cutely as possible with an embarrassed expression.
Are you going to say something bad about such a cute junior? He was working hard in a cute junior play as if to appeal.
“Leo, I feel bad when you talk like that.”
“Hold on.”
“Then, please take care of me.”
“My main attribute is light.”
“Wow, it has rare magical properties.”
Seeing her seniors showing interest, Illyana internally cheered.
‘Good atmosphere~’
“… … “If you add the magic spell of the ‘flame’ attribute to the magic system of the light attribute, you can emit powerful ‘heat ray’ magic!”
Illyana looked at the graduates, pointing with both hands to the blackboard on which she had written the magic system she had created.
Illyana appealed by raising her eyebrows a few times, hiding her hands behind her back and smiling shyly.
“That is all.”
When the presentation was over, applause erupted from the students.
Lilda, who was sitting on the far left, adjusted her glasses and said.
“Of course, among light attribute magicians, many choose the powerful ‘laser’ magic as their own unique magic. In the past, unique magic was literally your own original… … Well, these days, the inheritance of power is taken for granted due to the world of heroes, so there is no need for the unique magic itself to be special. However, you must have your own originality in the completion process.”
Before she knew it, she was looking at Illyana with emotionless eyes.
“What is different compared to existing laser magic?”
“note… … Well, that’s… … It’s related to my family’s arcane magic… … .”
“It’s a formula related to arcane magic. “You are complacent.”
Tsk, tsk, Lilda clicked her tongue and criticized Illyana, pointing out each and every shortcoming in her magic techniques.
Illyana broke into a cold sweat at the sudden change in atmosphere and answered with difficulty.
“Let me ask you one last question. Illyana student. “What is the hierarchy level of this magic that you have envisioned and are aiming for?”

“Well, that…” … “I haven’t decided yet.”
Iliana wriggled her hands and avoided Lilda’s eyes.
“It’s good to have big dreams, but your presentation should be about something you completely understand. Do you think we came to see our juniors’ talent show?! C-! next!”
“Hi!”
Lilda, who suddenly changed, opened her eyes brightly and shouted, and Illyana was frightened by the force and ran down the stage as if running away.
The other students’ faces hardened.
From the students’ perspective, Illyana’s presentation was excellent.
But it’s only C-?
Looking at that scene, Ren crossed his arms.
‘You’re doing well. It’s time to feel what a wall is.’
Among the graduates he became close friends with during his time as an associate professor, Ren invited those who were particularly picky about magic theory.
The reason was simple.
First-year students are overwhelmed by the difficulty of Lumern’s classes.
However, around the time of the midterm exam, I slowly started to adapt to the class.
Moreover, in a short period of time, I have grown to a level of skill that is incomparable to when I entered school.
It was a time when the entire first year was puffed up and self-satisfied.
Professor Ren knew from long experience that if you don’t catch him at this time, he will neglect his studies.
‘There are many professors who leave alone those who will advance and do not care about those who will not, saying they cannot… … ‘It doesn’t suit my temper to leave these guys alone.’
Ren thought that it was his job as an educator to provide new stimulation and make people look upward again.
‘It’s impossible to complete unique magic at the level of first-year students in the first place.’
Although the assignment was given, it was only to emphasize the need for unique magic.
No matter how talented the wizards entering Lumern were, it was impossible for them to complete the unique magic that other wizards had spent their entire lives perfecting in just a few months.
‘Well, there are geniuses who can do that.’
Ren looked at some students.
Meanwhile, the students’ presentations continued.
“I expected these first graders to be special, but their level is not at all.”
“If you look at it in terms of originality, it actually makes you feel worse than other jockeys. but. “What the higher-ups said was special was ‘combat skills.’”
Lilda and Shin Huz spoke as if to listen.
They too were told by Ren what their roles were.
How could they not find their junior cute?
Although I wanted to pat him on the back for doing a good job, I was willing to take on the role of a villain for my juniors.
They themselves had the experience of becoming overconfident around this time in their first year and then suffering greatly.
While the first year students were being completely bullied by the graduates, Ren called the next student.
“Abad Lwalin.”
At those words, the graduates’ expressions changed.
The most powerful nation on the Western Continent.
As the successor to the Lwalin family, the pinnacle of magic in the Rodren Empire, was named, anticipation could not help but be felt.
“The name of my unique magic is Tempester.”
Abad, who came up to the podium, gave a brief greeting and began his presentation.
Everyone exclaimed in exclamation upon hearing the announcement.
Abad’s magic was literally a type of magic close to a natural disaster that maximized the power of the wind.
“When it reaches completion, the expected hierarchy level is top.”
The students murmured at those words.
‘It’s literally the strongest magic that symbolizes yourself.’
“nice! Unlucky but cool! So, I am even more unlucky! Anyway, it’s cool!”
“Just do one thing.”
Carl said, crossing his arms, and Leo burst out laughing.
The female students exclaimed as they saw Abad smiling brightly.
Chelsea’s eyes sparkled and she said, “My brother is the best!” He made an expression like this.
‘Leo’s magic skills are amazing, but you’re no slouch either! Haha~ Who should I support?’
“That’s amazing. After all, he is a worthy successor to the Lwalin family.”
“It is a magic worthy of the name of unique magic, which is the sum of everything from the magician’s individual values, philosophy, and goals and objectives.”
Graduates praised Abad loudly.
“Every jockey has a friend like this monster. Abad Lwalin, you are A+.”
Abad came down from the podium to the applause of the graduates.
“K-I feel sorry for who the next speaker is!”
“Next speaker, Carl Thomas.”
“omg!”
Carl’s face, which had been chuckling, turned white.
Some students’ pitiful eyes fell on him.
Karl, who had climbed onto the platform like an animal being led to a slaughterhouse, returned to his seat in a miserable state, as expected.
Karl, who had a soulless expression on his face, received comfort from the students around him.
Meanwhile, there was also an announcement from Chelsea.
While Abad showed off a spell with absolute destructive power as his original magic, Chelsea chose a field magic that can influence the surrounding area with wind as her original.
“Amazing?”
“No matter how much Lwalin he is, I can’t believe he’s only fourteen years old. A!”
“thank you.”
Chelsea smiled brightly and bowed her head as she walked down the podium.
After Chelsea, there were only two presenters left.
“Next is the presenter, Leo Plov.”
Grumble-
At those words, Leo stood up.
All students’ eyes turned to Leo.
Before going up to the podium, Leo made eye contact with Chloe, who was standing in front.
He smiled and waved, but Chloe just stared at Leo.
Leo, with a slightly embarrassed expression, stood in the center of the podium.
“The unique magic I have prepared is a non-attribute magic system.”
“A non-attribute magic system? What is it?”
Lilda asked, adjusting her glasses.
Because it was a concept I had never heard of.
“It’s simple. “All existing magic techniques have attribute manifestation techniques, right?”
“of course. “It’s the minimum requirement to activate any magic.”
Shin Huzu answered immediately as if asking why he was saying the obvious.
Leo laughed at those words.
“My unique magic is a magic system that allows all attribute expression formulas to be compatible.”
“What?”
“What nonsense is that?”
The three people in charge of judging looked shocked and the students looked dumbfounded.
Professor Ren opened his eyes and looked at Leo.
“Leo Plov. So what you’re saying is… … “Are you saying you’re going to create a new magic system?”
When Eidman asked as if to confirm, Leo shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“yes.”
