It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

The most difficult thing to master is simply not something they can learn now.

"There's nothing surprising. I'm not telling you to master this magic. I'm just using it as an example."

Vickery said calmly.

"Generally speaking, elementary flame magic can be formed with only 8 spells."

As he finished speaking, a weak flame ignited in Vickrey's hand.

But a second later, the flames instantly grew stronger, and did not stop until they reached the ceiling. The hot air waves slapped the face of the wizard in the front row, and the original red flames were vaguely tainted with black.

"But this kind of mid-to-high-level war magic requires 88 incantations just to activate it. To further increase its power, at least 60 incantations are needed."

"Has anyone ever questioned why this is? Is it because it uses more magic power? Or is it a combination of different spells that creates all this?"

The wizards in the audience blinked, not knowing how to answer.

"I'm afraid you who only memorize knowledge have never thought about this. Memorizing theoretical knowledge is good, but it has an upper limit. You must find a way to break this constraint."

At this time, the flames on the ceiling spread, and the red flames quickly turned to black, but then turned to blue again.

All the wizards present were stunned.

Chapter 17 Excited

"And what I want to teach you next is the rules for forming spells about the fire element."

Soon after, detailed mantra formulas appeared in the air.

Most of the wizards present started to take pens and began to copy, including Sophie who just wanted to listen casually at first.

Only Olivia didn't make any move. She still thinks that Vickery is not qualified to teach her.

Of course, there was some element of her being angry about that incident.

Vickrey on the stage was still explaining everything hard.

"Look good. With these two spells, the color can be changed."

"Add these four incantations to increase the power."

"And these seven incantations can make the flame fluid."

"..."

Knowledge that I have never heard before.

At this moment, even Olivia, who had always been proud, was a little anxious. These unexpected contents made her heart itch.

I have to say that Weekley’s class was quite exciting. He summarized a brand-new theory.

Usually elite wizards, the so-called genius wizards, will not deliberately learn the magic in the books. They will only use the framework, and the specific details need to be filled in by themselves, which makes their magic unique.

And those wizards who do not have the ability to independently develop magic can only swallow the existing magic. The advantage is that they do not have to make detours, but the disadvantage is that there is never room for improvement.

However, Weekley's brand new formula has broken the gap between them. Although it is limited to the fire element, wizards can now create magic at will. This is a major breakthrough.

In terms of elemental magic, Olivia is actually not good at it. After all, her attribute is origin magic. She has no time to understand these seemingly complicated elemental magics in detail, otherwise she would not have time to learn her own origin magic. .

But now she sees the light. These formulas can help her save that time and improve herself more comprehensively.

If there is another attribute formula, she can even start from this aspect to perfect her 'creation' magic. It's a pity...

"Has fluid flames? Do you think you've seen elements somewhere before?"

Vickery asked them.

'is water'

Olivia replied in her mind that he was able to magically separate the qualities of the water element and gave it to fire.

This should be a skill that even experienced A-level wizards would find difficult to learn, but he did it so easily.

"Yes, it is the characteristics of the water element, fire and water. It is very difficult to combine the two, but if you only know the specific spell of the water element, you can easily do it."

At this moment, Olivia felt goosebumps all over her body.

he knows!

He knows the specific spell of the water element!

Olivia has never been so eager to learn.

There was just one problem. Although she brought a notebook, she didn't bring a pen.

Olivia thought she couldn't learn anything from Vickrey, so out of pride, she deliberately didn't bring a pen with her when she went out.

But who would have thought that the jealous Vickrey would prepare such a generous gift for these new wizards.

Olivia regretted it.

"..."

Everyone in the classroom was deeply attracted by the new knowledge and listened wholeheartedly to Vickrey's lectures.

Everyone was taking notes, but she was sitting there.

This feeling of falling behind made Olivia suddenly feel uneasy.

'Obviously I can understand this knowledge more thoroughly, but why are you the only ones learning it? '

At this time, Olivia noticed that there was a pen on the witch's table next to her, and her master seemed to be paying full attention to the lecture.

I shouldn't be discovered if I take it away secretly...

Olivia quietly stretched out her hand and slowly leaned over like a poisonous snake...

However, just when she was about to succeed, the witch turned back accidentally, and the two met each other's eyes.

The witch didn't say anything. She quickly regained her concentration.

It was time to go to class, but Olivia felt ashamed because her theft was discovered, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Olivia, who gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time, finally activated her magic helplessly.

As the magic power surged from her fingertips, a pen appeared in her palm.

Origin Magic - Creation.

"Now that we've finished talking about the compound magic of two elements, let's go back to our original topic, 'Scorching Flame'."

"It is a combination of fire, water, and wind. Although it sounds difficult, if we apply the previous method, can we easily master the degraded version of the scorching flame..."

Olivia devoted herself to the class and listened carefully to Vickrey's teachings.

At this moment, she seemed to have regained the excitement she felt when she first came into contact with magic as a child...

Chapter 18 The professor’s lecture is really good

"That's it for the class. You can explore the rest by yourself."

Three hours later, the lecture ended and Vickrey left without looking back.

Olivia tried to get up and follow, but stopped midway. Although there was another problem that she didn't quite understand, her pride did not allow her to do this on her own.

"..."

Olivia sat down again and began to study the notes she just took.

As a genius, there was absolutely no need for her to be obsessed with Weekly.

Moreover, these magic formulas were obviously discovered by him recently, and there must be loopholes in these new theories.

Magic is supposed to be ever-changing and impossible to be bound by theory from the start.

What if everyone's magic reacts differently, and Weekly is just a special case?

Then these formulas cannot be established.

Or, what if the magic released by these formulas has some limitations and cannot be used in scenes where the surrounding elements are chaotic, and lacks stability?

These are all unknown, and these seemingly perfect formulas may collapse in an instant depending on different conditions.

What Olivia has to do is to perfect them. She is confident that she can use the existing foundation to improve on her own formula that is completely superior to Weekly's.

A genius does not need guidance, she can draw inferences by herself.

"..."

Olivia looked at the missing part of the note.

The combination of water and fire was something she didn't have time to remember at first.

Olivia was thinking hard while recalling the instructions in Weekley's class...

According to his theoretical framework, he should be able to use creative magic to reproduce the fire element with the characteristics of flowing water, and thus deduce the specific formula of how to combine the two.

Magic power surged from Olivia's fingertips, generating a light blue flame.

It seemed to be a success, but the flame was extremely unstable inside, and it immediately disintegrated as soon as she was distracted.

"..."

It failed. She couldn't even reproduce flames without a formula. Creation magic couldn't create something she didn't understand...

Is the gap between them really that big?

Olivia looked at the notes in her hand distressedly, but she had no idea.

Unlike her previous heroic words, Olivia fell into a deep blow...

But fortunately, she is good at self-adjustment of mentality and has not become depressed.

He may not be Vickrey's opponent at the moment, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the future.

Olivia realized she might need more detailed notes...

For example, Sophie 6, who has been writing vigorously from the beginning

"..."

She looked around, but found that there was no one around. The surroundings were already empty, and even the boys who usually surrounded her were gone.

What kind of desire for learning did Vickery's lesson inspire in them?

-----

At night, in the college library.

Sophie yawned, and after looking at the clock on the wall with hazy eyes, she realized that it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

"I learned so late because of this?"

Sophie stared blankly at her notebook.

[Compilation of Vickrey element formulas]

Sophie slumped down on the chair and sighed.

"How did that happen?"

It wasn't that she arranged it maliciously, but Vickrey's lectures are quite notorious in the college. They may sound good at first, but in fact they just keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Moreover, he has to spend 50 galleons to buy information books written by him, otherwise the test questions will become very difficult. He is a very cautious professor.

This is why now that Vickery has become the chief professor, it is very easy to apply to take his classes.

But Vickrey's lecture today seemed like a completely different person. Compared with other professors, the quality was unbelievably high. Even if Sophie wanted to find fault, she couldn't find anything.

And this class really helped Sophie gain a lot. Before this, she could ignite elemental magic at once, but now she can easily use compound elemental magic.

In fact, as a wizard born in Yeluzi, Sophie has never even read a magic theory book, and even some of the most basic knowledge was taught to her by Vickery...

"It hurts my self-esteem a bit..."

No, don't worry about the details.

Absorbing his knowledge and defeating him would be a great humiliation for Weekly.

Sophie, who gave full play to Ah Q's spirit and regained her composure, stretched herself and strode out of the library.

On the way back to the dormitory

, Sophie accidentally saw a roadside barbecue stall buying meat skewers.

"Sniff~"

I'm so hungry, it smells delicious.
