A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 739 Aleister's Magic Lecture

"This is bad, I'm completely helpless."

Huang Quanchuan Aihui has been a teacher for some time, and this is the first time she has encountered such a problem student.

Tragically, as a senior in life, Aiho Yomikawa finds herself unable to offer even the most basic "life experience"...

"Damn it, maybe I should consult another teacher."

Huang Quanchuan Aihui went through her list of friends in her mind and realized with even greater sadness that most of her close friends and colleagues were also single, just like her.

"..." After a long silence, Aiho Yomikawa said to herself, "Let's start with the neighbors. I remember that Musashi-sensei downstairs just got married not long ago."

Just as Aiho Huangquanchuan was planning to increase her "life experience" by consulting a "foreign teacher," her cell phone suddenly rang, making a heart-stopping noise.

"Hiss..." Huang Quanchuan Aisui gasped – nothing was more terrifying than work-related calls during a holiday, but she quickly resigned herself to her fate and crawled up the sofa to where her phone was, muttering to herself, "What's going on now?"

Even the guards on leave received a summons, so something particularly serious must have happened.
"What? Someone broke through the 'gate' and entered Academy City?" Aiho Yomikawa's tone suddenly rose. "Are you kidding me? There's solid evidence? Okay, I understand."

"This is unbelievable," Aiho Yomikawa muttered to herself after hanging up the phone. "How long has it been since I've encountered such an arrogant stowaway? No, this should be considered an intruder!"

Huang Quanchuan Aihui immediately got up, changed her clothes, put on her gear, and prepared to set off.

As she left, three other security guards on the same floor, who were on vacation, also dressed neatly and pushed open their doors to exit.

Dozens of security guards filed out of the entire Family Side apartment building.

Academy City has very strict border control, and its defense equipment and guard forces are very powerful.

In this situation, someone who could force their way in by sheer strength is clearly no ordinary nobody.

Allowing such dangerous individuals to roam freely in the city poses a significant threat to public safety.

Therefore, in order to search for that mysterious and powerful intruder, all members of the guard force were mobilized!

Just as the guards were mobilizing, Lin Wuming was in a windowless building, personally reading the original text of "The Book of Law".

The legendary original text of the magic book is right in front of me. Regardless of whether it has any effect or not, it will at least arouse my strong curiosity.

Lin Wuming flipped through the pages with great interest, but soon became bored and lost interest.

First of all, he didn't understand magic at all, and secondly, he couldn't understand the words on it.

Seemingly for the sake of artistic unity throughout the book, all the text is written in an extremely ornate artistic font, as beautiful as a painting, but it is very difficult to read.

Moreover, the grammar of occult works from more than a hundred years ago is significantly different from that of modern English.

Not to mention, as the original text of the Book of Magic, this Book of Law is full of hidden codes and markings, which makes it even more difficult to decipher.

Even if the original author is by his side to answer questions at any time, Lin Wuming, a complete beginner, doesn't even have the ability to identify problems right now.

Lin Wuming turned the pages faster and faster, quickly finishing the entire book before pushing it aside, showing no further interest in touching it. According to the original story, the original text of the Demonic Scripture seemed to possess a kind of "meme pollution" characteristic, almost instinctively wanting to pass on and spread the knowledge it recorded.

Lin Wuming originally thought that he could use this mechanism to make the Demonic Book actively send knowledge into his brain.

However, for some reason, the Book of Law does not seem to have the aforementioned characteristics, and can only be interpreted and understood by the reader little by little.

In the end, Chairman Aleister's decision to bring out the original text of the grimoire was tantamount to casting a veiled glance at a blind man.

However, Aleister was not particularly disappointed, nor did he dwell on whether Lin Wuming could understand his work.

It was as if he was just showing off his past achievements by displaying the original text of the "Book of Law".

Next comes the formal "teaching phase"—teaching Lin Wuming the real "magic".

Based on Lin Wuming's actual needs and considering the difficulty of teaching, Aleister's "teaching" method is also very simple and direct.

Specifically, it means that Chairman Aleister would give instructions, and Lin Wuming would follow them.

There's no need to understand the theory behind it; all Lin Wuming needs to do is act according to the instructions.

In other words, it is to complete a certain "ritual" - which is the most classic and easiest way to "cast a spell".

In the original work, Index successfully guided Ms. Komoe to cast healing magic in this way.

The recent "Angel Fall" incident originated from Kamijou Touya, who knew nothing about magic, accidentally setting up a "ritual" scene by chance, and ultimately completing that great magic.

No one needs to possess magic power; anyone can cast spells through specific rituals.

“…Alright, now place the four colors of origami cranes in the four specific locations,” Aleister instructed. “Then activate them with the corresponding four elements—this shouldn’t be difficult for you.”

"Water, fire, air, and earth—that's not difficult at all," Lin Wuming nodded.

Nen abilities are very convenient; you can even do things like folding paper cranes using Nen.

Creating flames or condensing water droplets out of thin air is no problem for them.

boom!
The red origami crane was instantly ignited, while the other three origami cranes remained somewhat intact. However, because the "magic circle" was missing a corner, the ritual failed.

“Very good, I have told you the whole process of the ritual.” Chairman Aleister said with satisfaction, “In the actual casting process, the last step requires the use of a specific incantation. Just now, it was because of the lack of incantation guidance that a corner of the flame went out of control and burned.”

Because of the limitation that superpowers and magic cannot coexist, Chairman Aleister thoughtfully divided the magic ritual into two parts for instruction, to prevent Lin Wuming from suffering a backlash if he successfully cast the spell.

"It doesn't seem complicated," Lin Wuming commented.

The most troublesome part of the entire ceremony is actually folding origami cranes—but as long as you prepare folded origami cranes in advance as a prop for casting the spell, this step can be skipped.

With Lin Wuming's Nen ability assisting him, the entire ritual could be completed in less than ten seconds.
