The Reincarnated Archmage’s Journey Chapter 212

Episode 212. The Remake (3)

The classroom on the 6th floor was different from the 4th floor.

At least there was a desk and a blackboard.

And as I was coming to the classroom, I noticed that the total number of students on the 6th floor seemed quite small.

The hustle and bustle that was felt from the hallway all the way up to the fourth floor has disappeared.

I wondered, 'Will there really be 10 people?'

“Everyone sit down.”

When we arrived at the classroom, Professor Sherman was already there waiting for us.

But when I saw him, I couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling.

'It's only been a few minutes, but why has the atmosphere changed again?'

It would be correct to say that the unpleasant atmosphere became even stronger.

If it feels this obvious, it means that the magic power has become stronger in that short period of time.

Is that even possible?

"Did you drink any potions or anything in the meantime? No, do you really need to? It's just class."

As I reached the 6th floor, the last floor of the main building, strange things started to catch my eye.

Once everyone sat down as instructed by the professor, Sherman wrote a large word on the blackboard.

Vision

The moment I saw that word, I almost lost my composure.

It's nicknamed the non-existent resource.

That means it's that special.

But why would you tell your 6th floor students about such a special resource?

'Could it be that the identity of the 6th floor class is…?'

Other than that, there was no reason to bring up the topic of vision.

“Is this your first time hearing that?”

Sherman asked the students.

This is the start of a full-fledged class.

Of course, this is a topic that no student other than Banshee and I would know about.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Visionary power is a superior resource to mana. Using visionary power transforms the element's inherent nature into something incomparably more powerful."

Even after Sherman's explanation, the students looked like they didn't quite understand.

Of course.

There is a big difference between just hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes.

"The nature of the dark element is literally darkness. What does darkness mean, Artel? I think you know."

“Nothing.”

"Yes. The essence of darkness means nothing. Now, what would happen if a dark element with such an essence were to use its powers of vision?"

This is also a question I ask myself.

I couldn't understand why he was specifically asking me this question.

'Do you really think I know this?'

My identity has not been revealed, so it is just a psychological warfare to see if you know.

'There's no need to respond to this kind of thing.'

“I don’t know about that.”

I showed an attitude that I thoroughly didn't know anything about vision power.

"What a shame. I thought you knew that you were the most talented student here, and that talent meant you studied hard."

"I'm hearing about vision power for the first time today. It's not mentioned in any of the books I've read."

“Well, it’s not that hard.”

Sherman didn't seem to have high expectations when he first asked the question.

"I'll explain it to you. Adding vision power to the element of darkness will render even living beings inert. That's how powerful a resource it is. When darkness and vision power combine, a space of instant death is created, where no living being can survive."

That's right.

If you actually used dark elemental space distortion magic with vision power, the creature trapped inside would soon disappear from existence.

But here I have two questions.

First, it seems like you're trying to teach students about vision, but is that even possible?

I am the only person in history who can use vision power.

Even with that, compared to my previous life, the power I can use is only about 10% because my body has changed.

It is a state where you cannot exert 100% of your full potential.

I've heard that there are a few wizards among the ancient wizards who can use it, but they are quite old and possess rare talents, so much so that their names are not even well known.

Such a non-powerful class came across as meaningless.

And secondly.

There are steps.

Let's say that it tells you about vision power.

However, if you look at the vision power by circle, it is 11 circles.

Archmage 10th circle.

So officially the circle ends at 10.

The number 11 is a circle that does not exist among wizards.

That's why we call vision power a non-existent resource.

Right now, these students are below the 10th circle and can't even create a 9th circle level jewel called the crystal of elemental magic, so it was ridiculous to even be conducting this class.

I glanced at the ceiling and thought.

'Is this the true nature of the classification work you planned, Tyrant?'

I understood why Sherman had left me wondering if I would ever fully complete the sixth floor class.

I mean, I'm the most talented of the six double casters, so that means they saw me and thought, 'Maybe?'

And now Sherman, who is conducting the class, is also suspicious.

A class is a person in charge of a class.

That is, the teacher informs students who do not know what the teacher knows.

So this means that this class is only possible if Sherman can implement the jewelization.

I raised my hand slightly.

“What is it, Artel?”

"Professor, you can use your vision powers, right? That's how you conduct classes."

“…….”

His gaze was fixed on me.

Although I couldn't see his eyes because his face was still covered by his hood, I could easily feel that he was looking at me.

“Of course, I should teach students what I don’t know how to do.”

Really? Can you take responsibility for those words?

In the long history of magical society, there is only one person who uses arcane powers.

You think it's possible for someone like you, who's just doing secretarial work for Tyrant?

If they respond like that, I have one more thing I can do.

"Please show me. Just hearing the explanation, I didn't realize vision power was such a powerful resource."

I had to see it with my own eyes.

Whether or not he can really use his vision powers as he says.

“You’re right. It’s faster to show it to me.”

The moment he answered in a confident voice.

The entire classroom was plunged into darkness.

***

“Isn’t it really noisy?”

4th floor. Claire's dorm.

Need, who was resting in the dormitory, asked Claire.

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Claire didn't know the intent of the question itself.

I couldn't hear anything, so I didn't know why they were making noise.

“Next room. What are you doing that keeps making that thumping noise?”

“……The room next door?”

The room next door is Kay's dormitory.

Still, Claire couldn't hear anything.

Not just today.

I've never heard any noise from the next room before.

Because soundproofing has never been a problem in a school created by magic in the first place.

I have never experienced anything like that being heard in the next room during my time at the school.

But Need was particularly sensitive today.

“What do you hear…?”

Just in case, Claire pressed her ear against the wall and listened, but as expected, she felt or heard nothing.

"Sister, are you just sensitive? I can't hear anything."

Claire also became quite close with Need, and called her "sister."

“You too, I guess.”

But Need responded coldly.

Claire felt a little offended because Need seemed to be saying, 'That's just how it is for students like you who lack ability.'

But that's not wrong either.

Need is something that you feel but cannot feel yourself.

Because it's a difference in capabilities.

“I’ll go spy on you. What on earth are you doing to make such a fuss?”

Need said so and stood in front of the wall.

If you get over that wall, you can reach Kay's dormitory.

Jeez-!

All she had to do was reach out towards the wall, and one of the dorm walls turned into a wall of ice.

And the need to naturally walk into it.

The moment when the walls of an ordinary dormitory become a portal.

"……wow."

Although Need's figure had already disappeared, Claire couldn't take her eyes off the wall she had passed by.

Because it was the first time I saw magic being used like this.

"That's possible… right? Efficient magic. Hmm, what did you think of that kind of magic?"

Need's actions weren't meant to be special, but Claire, with her keen observation skills, was completely captivated by the magic she displayed.

Especially since he was a water elementalist like himself and a user of ice magic.

That's why I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Claire had her reasons too.

Claire thought that magic always meant something strong.

A magic that should be very noticeable, and that makes you feel like 'Ah, this is really strong magic' just by looking at it.

In that respect, she is quite similar to Sparkle, one of the wizards of the Ed family.

A magician who only increases attack power, leaving aside all other types.

Claire's obsession with strong magic was also all because of Kay and the school.

Since only talented students could go to the main campus, I had to stand out to the professors and teaching staff during my time at the branch campus and appeal to them so that they would not be forgotten.

The result of that obsession was that he mastered freezing magic.

But now the definition of strength has changed a little.

What is meant by strong is not necessarily magic with high attack power, but also magic with good efficiency.

"amazing……."

Claire touched Need's magic with her hand.

I was curious as to whether I could feel something if I touched it.

"What are you doing?"

“Oh, sister.”

At that moment, Need returned to the dormitory.

“It’s just… this magic looks really good. It looks efficient too.”

"You're a good observer. Anyway, that's not important. Come with me. Two guys are having fun in the room next door."

“Anything fun?”

First, Claire followed Need.

“……Oh my god! What is this?”

Claire is shocked to see Kay's dormitory.

That's understandable, as there was a huge black box sitting in Kay's dormitory.

Seeing as Kay and Impel are nowhere to be seen, I can only guess that they are inside.

"Silence Cell is a spell. If you're trapped by space distortion magic, you lose all senses, including sight. And no one outside knows what happens inside."

“……But you felt it, didn’t you? You heard something.”

“Look over there.”

Need pointed to a part of the Silence Cell with his finger.

As my gaze followed, Claire saw it too.

The phenomenon of a small hole opening, then filling up again, and then opening again was repeated.

The hole was so small that I could barely fit my finger in it.

“That’s what I heard. I think Impel was probably training them inside.”

“But… wouldn’t the professor hear that?”

"The hole is too small, so it won't reach there. Don't worry. By the way, your boyfriend is amazing. Inside the Silence Cell, it's the Impel world, and he's putting up such fierce resistance."

It was Kay who was praised, but Claire was also excited for no reason.

Claire asked Need one favor with eager eyes.

“Sister, can you train me like that too?”

“When did you say that?”

But Need answered as if he had been waiting.
