‘Is he going to end the test like this?’
Gellen Dogny shook his head. No, that's not it. It's too early to tell.
He might just be casually casting some 1-star magic.
Not the magic required for this test, but just some easy ones that can be deployed in the Jorhhen style, just for show.
‘No, he knows it himself.’
The rune engraved in the center of the first magic, the fan-shaped magic circle, was Seo (徐; tranquil).
‘This very moment is……’
The moment Rin clutched his palm, scattering the magic circle into transparent light particles, the light of providence alteration overwhelmed the entire examination hall.
‘This moment is precisely……’
The brilliantly surging light is the process by which the equation of providence is being transformed. As if to prove it, the wind blowing through the examination hall calms down.
‘A new wave……’
It was an answer that could only be called ideal. The most important thing in this fire suppression test is to first block the wind.
‘That this is the [first moment] a new wave is beginning to rise in the history of magic……’
He engraves the rune Jeon (展; to unfold) onto the triangular magic circle rotating above the fan shape. In short, imparting the property of 'unfolding' to fire-attribute magic.
The root of the required equation is precisely the coordinate value of the magic.
This is also one of the highest bonus point methods personally designated by Ulan Page: the backfire suppression.
‘Backfire suppression works by pre-burning the oxygen and combustibles needed for fire combustion, and it is used to contain the fire through the path where the backfire has passed.’
For this method, precise starting and ending coordinates are required. If the fires merge, the fire could grow even larger, risking the entire test.
“The deployment speed and combustion speed of the backfire are ridiculously fast……”
“Did he calculate the start and end coordinates by instantly completing the multiplication of four equations……?”
As if to confine the flames to one area, flames rapidly erupted from the four cardinal directions where the fire had not yet spread, devouring oxygen and combustibles.
“Dean, he just got bonus points, didn't he?”
Only three people, who knew the reason for that speed, were smiling: Atlante, Pomas, and Gisela.
“Certainly. But would bonus points even matter to Rin?”
Having successfully contained the fire to one area through the backfire, Rin now clenched his left fist.
The next magic consisted of a circular formation and a square.
The circular formation was a magic circle for water-attribute magic, and the rune assigned to it was Pok (瀑). It was a rune that imparted properties like waterfalls, downpours, or bubbles.
The square magic circle was earth-attribute, and the rune engraved on it was Yo (搖). It imparted a trembling property.
To summarize the series of processes, it was as follows:
A downpour rained down over the contained flames, and the burning ground trembled and overturned from its base, covering the flames.
‘The power of that magic is not such that the entire land swallows thousands of troops. That would transcend the limits of 1-star magic's power.’
However, when the maximum power that a 1-star magic could unleash, only the best answer and four magics with maximum power, interlocked……
“……The fire went out.”
“……No, didn't the test just start a few seconds ago?”
“……Who on earth is that guy?”
Amidst the murmuring crowd, the examiners, who had been staring blankly at Rin, suddenly heard applause.
“Supervisor?”
The source of the sound was right next to them, Supervisor Gellen.
“This is truly a sensation.”
No, it's merely a glimpse of a sensation.
“We might be witnessing a new history of magic before anyone else.”
