Professor of Magic

Chapter 160, Lesson 41 Area Magic

"Ugh--"

Lin Yuan looked out the window and sighed softly.

"Ugh--"

The students in Class [-], Grade [-] also looked out the window and sighed heavily.

Hearing the sighs of the students, Lin Yuan turned his head to look into the classroom, exchanged glances with them, and shrugged helplessly.

Originally, in this morning's class, it should be a rare physical education class once a week in the third class of the first grade.Lin Yuan had already told the students at the end of the physical education class last week that this class would teach them new sports—basketball and volleyball.

Of course the students were looking forward to this, so they got up early this morning to prepare for the usual morning run to warm up, but when they opened the door of the dormitory, they discovered a sad fact—it was raining.

The rain was not heavy, and the patter did not mean to pour at all.It's just that the duration is really constant, starting around midnight, and it hasn't stopped until now.

The smooth road surface of the college path has already been fully wetted, and occasionally a small puddle of water has accumulated in low-lying places.On the other hand, on the muddy ground beside the road, moisture has already appeared from the surface to the depth, reflecting a slight light.

Under such circumstances, of course it is impossible to go to any physical education class.

"It would be great if there was a gymnasium." Looking at the disappointed faces of the students, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking.But he also knew that building a stadium and building a crude stadium were two different things.

Not to mention how big the difference in investment money is, just how to build a gymnasium is beyond his layman's ability to know.

"Today's physical education class is cancelled." Lin Yuan scanned the classroom, and finally made the decision that made the students sigh. "Okay, don't sigh. Just like what the vice president said, this is a magic academy after all, and what you mainly study should be magic after all. It's no big deal to miss a gym class."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile. Vice President Capaci often said this to him, but now he wants to tell the students the other way around. It's really weird.

It's just that even though he said that, he was originally preparing for physical education classes, and he didn't have much preparation for classes about magic theory.Now that it was time to take the magic class temporarily because of the rain, he really had to think about it.

Glancing at the continuous rain outside the window, Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, and said to the students: "When I was making the program arrangement for the college festival last night, I made a rough count and found that nearly 30 people in the class have reached the The level of a level 3 magician. That is to say, more than half of the students have already started to be exposed to area magic. That being the case, today I will tell you about area magic. Students who have already started to contact area magic, of course Pay attention, and those who have not yet come into contact, also pay attention, because you will be in touch soon."

The students froze for a moment. After more than one semester of contact with Lin Yuan, they knew Lin Yuan's teaching style very well.

Generally speaking, when Lin Yuan is teaching them, he will first use a specific thing as an example, and then use quotations from sources to explain to them some issues about the basic level of magic.

For example, the accuracy of magic, the concentration of magic elements in magic, and so on.

But there has never been a general "problem of ranged magic" like today.

While the students were surprised, they also had expectations. In any case, Lin Yuan had been teaching them for so long, but he had never targeted them indiscriminately.Since he wants to say something about this aspect, he naturally has some different views.

"First of all, I need you all to make a memory." Lin Yuan stretched out a finger and pointed at Fasino. "During the Continental Academy of Magic Contest, you all watched the battle between Fasno and that level 5 wind magician. At the same time, you should all understand how Fasno defeated the opponent in the end."

"Mr. Lin, you mean the shrunken down lightning spell?" Lilita asked.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, Lilita, you reacted very quickly. Fasno used a trap to defeat the opponent. We all understand this trap. The most important point is the lightning strike. Fasno..." Lin Yuan Yuan suddenly clicked Fasino's name. "Tell everyone, what is the standard range of the lightning strike?"

Seeing that the eyes of the students were all focused on him, Fasno stood up and thought for a while, then stretched out his hands and drew a circle: "It's about the size of two classrooms."

"Well, that's it."

During this period of time, because he still kept meditating every day, coupled with the super strong growth rate of magic power after mixing magic power, the magic power in Lin Yuan's body finally broke through the standard of a level 4 magician, and successfully entered the ranks of a level 5 magician. It means that he can finally use decent high-level magic, instead of only using the shrunken version.

Because the magic power in his body has been reached, Lin Yuan now has a certain understanding of the advanced magic of each department, and knows that what Fasno said is right.

"Mr. Lin, are you trying to tell us that area-of-area magic doesn't need to be limited to the standard, and can be cast at will by changing the size of the area?" asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded. "But this is just one of them. Besides, you discussed this issue after the last Fasno competition, and you have come to a conclusion. You are obviously lazy to ask me the conclusion you discussed at that time. .”

Vince chuckled: "If I can come up with new ideas, I'm not a student."

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, ignoring Vince's trickery, and said again: "I think you can already understand the point that area-based magic does not need to limit the size of the area. There is no standard for magic. I have learned it in the last semester. It has been emphasized many times, so I won't say more here. Moreover, Fasno used a super small lightning strike in the game, which made him step into the trap without attracting the opponent's attention. It proved that he has already done well Mastered that."

"What I want to talk about this time is another feature of area-of-area magic. If you have paid attention to it at that time, you should remember that Fasno's lightning strike, in which the falling lightning is very dense." Lin Yuan said with his right hand Turning over, a small thunder cloud slowly gathered in his palm, and after a while, about a dozen very small lightning bolts fell down. "In the standard lightning strike, the number of lightning falling within each block is actually not too dense. Because the lightning strike is originally a range-killing spell, if you want to attack a single target, there are actually many more suitable powerful spells." Single-body magic is at your disposal."

Seeing the spell in Lin Yuan's palm, Fasno's eyes were fixed, and when he looked at Lin Yuan again, his eyes were full of admiration.

The other students in Class [-], Grade [-] may still not understand the strength of Lin Yuan's hand, but Fasino knows it very well.

Thunderbolt is a sixth-level magic of the wind system, that is to say, it is generally only possible for a level-6 magician to release it.And because this magic is a range magic of advanced magic species, the requirements for magicians are very high if you want to release it.

Fasno was able to cast such a suitable-sized lightning strike during the college competition, but he combined Professor Lin Yuan's magic concept and obtained the result after many times of practice.

But now Lin Yuan can easily cast such an ultra-small lightning strike with just a flip of his hand, and this is based on the fact that he only has the magic power of a level 5 magician, which shows that Lin Yuan's control over the magic elements has already It has reached a height that even a genius like Fasno can't imagine.

"Then teacher, are you saying that Fasno was actually wasting magic power last time?" Vince suddenly laughed. "It turns out that this kid also makes mistakes sometimes."

"Idiot, listen to me." Lin Yuan gave him a white look. "You have all seen the normal lightning strike. If it hit Fasno's opponent at that time according to the lightning density, it would be just to tickle him, and it would be impossible for him to admit defeat. Fasno was releasing this lightning strike. At that time, it not only narrowed the range of the lightning strike, but also compressed the magic elements in it, making the lightning strike more dense, resulting in a stronger attack power in a specific range, and then breaking the opponent's magic shield. The opponent's magic power is estimated very accurately, and when the last thunderbolt landed, it happened to completely consume the opponent's magic power. You should learn this point carefully."

Vince pursed his lips, seeming to retort a few words unconvinced, but after thinking about it, he couldn't disagree that Lin Yuan was right. Fasno's performance in that game was nothing at first glance, but after more analysis The more you discover the power of it.

For Fasino, a super genius, most of the students in Class [-], Grade [-] are convinced.

"The difference between area-based magic and single-target magic lies in this point besides the range." Lin Yuan waved his left hand and summoned a fireball, and with another wave of his right hand, a small sea of ​​flames spread in the palm of his hand. "You see, although the magic level of the wall of fire technique is higher than that of the fireball technique, if you compare the attack power of a single target, the fireball technique is higher. But there is another advantage of the wall of fire technique..." Lin Yuan moved his right hand slightly, and the wall of fire quickly hit him His hand shrank into a point, and after a while, it turned into a square, exuding crimson fire. "...that is, it can be manipulated at will."

"No." Looking at the small burning fire in Lin Yuan's hand, Lilita frowned. "Mr. Lin, even if the power of the wall of fire is concentrated in this way, the attack power is not much higher than that of the fireball technique. Moreover, the mana and energy required to do so are much greater than using only one fireball technique. It is not worthwhile. "

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded, and with a movement of his hands, both the Fireball and Fire Wall techniques disappeared. "Indeed, it's not cost-effective to do so. But do you still remember the example of the oil crow I gave you last semester?"

The students nodded.Last semester, also in a physical education class, Lin Yuan changed the fireball technique into the spark technique, and at the same time used the example of attacking oil crows to show that magic can also be used in this way.

"Although this method consumes more magic power than ordinary single-target attack magic, and also requires higher magic control power, under certain circumstances, this method is more effective than using single-target magic." Lin Yuan said. "For example, I've been using Fasino as an example today. If Fasino didn't use this method, but directly used single-target magic attacks, would the effect be so good?"

Of course the students could only shake their heads.

"Actually, I have said so much, just to tell you that there is no standard for range magic. You can use it in combination with your own magic power and magic control power at the same time according to the specific situation."

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of what he saw at the Continental Academy of Magic Competition, and smiled wryly in his heart.Just getting the students in Class [-], Grade [-] to accept his point of view requires him to spend so much thought and emphasize it many times.It would be unimaginable to spend so much effort and time in order for students across the continent to accept this point of view.

Fortunately, he is not a greedy person.He can be satisfied if he can teach the students in Class [-], Grade [-] well and make them better.

As for the others, he can only do his best.

Persuading President Smeg to carry out reforms, the high profile in the Continental Academy of Magic Competition that is completely out of character, and the cooperation with Boss Searle to release "The Meaning and Promotion of Sports Events" at a low price, etc., are all in Farley. The seeds sprinkled on the land of Northland.

As for whether it will take root and sprout in the future, or even grow into a towering tree, and how much impact it will have on this land and the people on the land, Lin Yuan is really not sure.

As the saying goes, do your best to obey the destiny, probably so.

"Okay, that's about what I want to talk about today. Fasno, next, you will take over my job and share your experience on area-of-area magic with your classmates." Lin Yuan smiled and said. "I'll be lazy for a while, and take a look at your lecture skills by the way."

"cut--"

The students were no longer surprised by Lin Yuan's actions.Qiqi dropped a disdainful look, turned around and began to discuss with Fasno.

Seeing the students gesticulating and discussing enthusiastically, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile again.

Since the success of the debate competition organized by Lin Yuan, not only other students in the college have become accustomed to discussing with each other, but even the students in Class [-] of the first grade who were trained by Lin Yuan to have a very exploratory spirit are now very Go one step further, and even reach the point where it will be debated at any time.

Of course, this is a good thing. The core of Lin Yuan's consistent teaching philosophy is actually two words, that is initiative.

He always believed that what he learned actively would always be better than what he learned passively.

And through debate and self-exploration, students' understanding and mastery of knowledge is obviously much better than mechanical application.

Lin Yuan is not willing to see the situation where every student is taught the same way under the exam-oriented education system in the original world.

Under that kind of education system, even if the students cram the knowledge into their heads, how much can they remember and use in the end?
At least Lin Yuan knew that if he hadn't become a teacher after graduation, he would definitely forget about it.

Although these students in front of me will become magicians in the future, it can be said that they are professional counterparts, and they are unlikely to have the problem of forgetting, but anyway, there is still a big gap between active and passive learning.

After listening for a while, he found that the direction of the students' argument was not biased, so Lin Yuan stopped paying attention and turned his head to look out the window.

At this time, the rain outside the window has changed again, the rain lines filling the sky gradually turned into silk, densely connected from the sky to the ground, forming a bit of fog.

Apricot Blossom, Misty Rain, Jiangnan.

These three words suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan's head.

On this continent, although there are no apricot blossoms, the unknown flowers blooming on the unknown trees beside the college path are still very appropriate.

And such a continuous spring rain can indeed be called the word "misty rain".

As for Jiangnan?
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the woman who was very "Jiangnan" in appearance and temperament that he saw yesterday. If she could support an umbrella at this moment, she would stand outside under the tree full of unknown flowers and look up to the sky. A 45-degree angle, that would really give Lin Yuan the illusion of coming to the south of the Yangtze River.

Just at this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the other end of the trail.

And above the figure, there is also a round thing propped up, which seems to be an umbrella.

"No way..." Lin Yuan was stunned.
