Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

Those present were all discerning individuals, recognizing the true value of Xu Fang's smooth, short combo. Since there are no fixed rules in magic, no one questioned why Xu Fang hadn't used his standard skills; everyone scored full marks.

"Congratulations on becoming a member of our School of Optical Engineering!" Hu Xingyu grinned from ear to ear. "Come on, come on, let's go back to the dorm..."

He took Xu Fang with him and left.

Summoning Department Head Jiang Yunming said sourly, "Look how happy this old Hu is, like he's eaten bee droppings."

"That student is indeed very outstanding."

Dean Xiao took off his glasses and said, "The letter of recommendation says that he comes from Bo City and once led a team of military mages to establish a safe isolation zone."

The directors were shocked. They were well aware of the bloodshed in Bocheng. The country also gave preferential treatment to students from Bocheng. Their Mingzhu Academy had also opened a green channel and admitted a new student from Bocheng with the lightning element.

Although that freshman was not particularly outstanding compared to the other students.

Xu Fang is actually that awesome?

"This student is quite interesting. We should nurture him well," Dean Xiao said with a smile, then leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back.

This young man has quite a few interesting little secrets hidden inside.

—I need to have a chat with those old guys.

······

"Director Hu, how do we apply for a minor at our school?" Xu Fang asked on the way.

"What, you want to study another law department?" Hu Xingyu said anxiously, "No way! The Light Law Department is so great. There are plenty of fat sheep donating money to the school everywhere. You can spend as much as you want with the resources. No other department has this kind of treatment."

"Big fat sheep"... What an impolite yet vivid nickname.

Xu Fang thought to himself, "I'm talking about magic arrays, and I'm very interested in them."

"That's it."

Hu Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't have to change his major: "Come with me, I'll take you to see someone."

Mingzhu Academy is very large, and Hu Xingyu led Xu Fang around.

Occasionally, you'll run into students from the Department of Light Engineering, who dress themselves up nicely and chat with girls about everything from life ideals to the quality control of hotel mattresses' dryness.

Just as their enthusiasm reached its peak, they prepared to shift from theory to practice. Hu Xingyu walked towards them, like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads; the students fled in terror like mice before a cat.

"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings."

Hu Xingyu snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Xu Fang, and his mood brightened from cloudy to sunny.

Fortunately, I still have Xu Fang.

The two walked one after the other through the grove of trees and arrived at a building located in a corner of the academy: "We're here."

Mingzhu Academy has always been lavishly decorated, and even the green belt in front of the building is built to garden-level standards.

But the building in front of me was covered with dark marks, and there was no grass growing in front of it; the soil looked like it had been turned over several times.

Xu Fang looked up at the building and the surroundings, realizing he had definitely come to the right place!

Chapter 106 The Concept of Helicopter Magic Tool

"Your light system is very special, with the unique effect of condensing into fire. You are indeed a good candidate to learn formations."

Hu Xingyu said, "Generally speaking, there are two types of formations. The first type is combat formations, such as the Night Domination Formation and the Water Circulation Formation."

With the help of the magic stone, multiple mages can work together to create formations that surpass the power of magic itself! Our Dean Xiao is a master of this, having created several top-tier formations!

The second type is called application formation, which is what you call a magic array, and it is often used in the creation of magical tools and artifacts.

Hu Xingyu intended to cultivate Xu Fang, explaining in detail: "I have also been exposed to array formations for a period of time. Like magic, it relies heavily on talent, and very few people can master this technique. I don't object to you getting into it, but you should also act within your capabilities. Ultimately, our duty is still magic."

"Wrong sense!"

The main entrance of the building was pushed open, and a metallic smell wafted out as a middle-aged man walked out.

The middle-aged man was tall and dark-skinned, with a full beard that made him look somewhat fierce.

He said bluntly, "Want to get to know him? Hu Xingyu, no wonder Dean Xiao couldn't teach you anything even when he was personally instructing you. It's because you have no respect for formations!"

Hu Xingyu was already used to this man's fiery temper and wasn't angry. He introduced him to Xu Fang, saying, "This is Professor Qin Li, the professor of magic artifact arrays."

"Old Qin, this is a freshman specially recruited by our School of Optics this year. He is interested in formations."

"So what?" Qin Li scoffed. "Just because he's interested doesn't mean I have to teach him. When did I, Qin Li, become so worthless?"

Hu Xingyu said helplessly, "You really should change your bad temper, otherwise you wouldn't still be a bachelor in your forties."

"Mind your own business, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do with it!"

In front of the students, Hu Xingyu didn't want to lower himself to the level of this guy, so he gestured for Xu Fang to speak.

"I'm here simply to ask Teacher Qin a question," Xu Fang said. "What is the significance of magical tools and formations?"

"Nonsense! Of course, it's to support mages in battle." Qin Li said irritably, "Haven't you read the textbook?"

“But I don’t think so,” Xu Fang said. “That’s a very narrow-minded view.”

"Too narrow-minded?" Qin Li's expression was unfriendly: "Kid, trying to attract attention is not advisable."

"Magicians are a bulwark for humanity against demons, which is certainly admirable. But it must be admitted that human bravery is insignificant compared to that of demons."

Xu Fang made a startling statement:

"From awakening to connecting with the star trails and casting the first spell, a human mage must undergo at least several months or even more than a year of arduous training."

Such a long time is enough for a servant-level demon to mature, and it would take five or six mages of the same level to resist it!

Even a supreme mage can hardly change the course of a war. The era of individual heroism will eventually pass; we must embrace a more hopeful future.

—The key to unlocking the future lies in magical arrays. That is its significance.

"You should become a speaker and give speeches to primary and secondary school students about gratitude towards their parents." Qin Li sneered, "The idea is good, but it's just an idea. Do you know how much resource array formations require? Do you know how expensive each magical tool is?"

"Solve the problem if you have one!"

Xu Fang didn't back down an inch and directly challenged: "Do you know what a bomb is? How much does a bomb cost? How much does a demon-slaying tool of equivalent power cost?"

"This is an isolated case; the inventor of the bomb was a genius, and this cannot be applied to ordinary people..."

Qin Li was still being stubborn, but his voice gradually softened.

What the student said seemed to make a lot of sense.

"Seeing is believing, so I'll show you this."

Xu Fang took out a blueprint from his backpack and handed it to Qin Li, who instinctively took it: "A rotorcraft? What's that?"

"I designed it myself; it's a replacement for the Winged Magic Tool," Xu Fang said.

Hu Xingyu: "???"

Qin Li: "!!!"

"Wing...Wing Magic Tool?" Hu Xingyu was so shocked he could barely speak. "Are you kidding me? This can be a substitute?"

He's no novice when it comes to magical artifacts; he's a master of small-scale magical artifacts, and they're even rarer than they're available.

The precious materials are one thing, but the core magic array engraved on them is even more crucial. There are only a handful of people in the world who can engrave the levitation magic array alone!

Now, Xu Fang actually claims that he has created a substitute?

What a fuss!

On the other side, Qin Li was already looking at the design drawings, his brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently.

"The rotor generates lift... what does that mean?"

“Like this.” Xu Fang took out another small item from his backpack, and Qin Li exclaimed in surprise: “A bamboo dragonfly?”

“Yes, look at the leaves of the bamboo dragonfly.” Xu Fang handed the bamboo dragonfly to Qin Li: “Pay attention to the angle of these two leaves.”

Qin Li had certainly played with bamboo dragonflies before, but he had never examined them so closely as he did now.

"This isn't flat?" Hu Xingyu exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent.

Xu Fang explained, "When the bamboo dragonfly rotates, the blades generate a downward thrust, while the air also gives the bamboo dragonfly an upward force."

This is Newton's Third Law in junior high school physics: force is the interaction between objects.

If you can make a bamboo dragonfly, it means that the mechanics of this world is still under the control of the great Newton.

Xu Fang used a term that was easier for people in this world to understand: "When we release magic, we feel a backward force, which is actually the same principle."

"That makes sense..."

Qin Li nodded subconsciously: "So, in other words, we don't actually need a levitation array; we just need to apply downward force?"

Xu Fang nodded: "You could say that."

Qin Li muttered a couple of words like a madman, then suddenly ran to the side, his body surrounded by shimmering star trails that quickly connected to form a star map: "Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

A fierce punch slammed into the ground.

Qin Li's body suddenly sprang up.

"Hahahaha, eh! I get it! I get it! I was such an idiot before, all array masters were idiots before!"

Qin Li danced wildly in the sky, like a madman: "Such a simple principle, yet no one has ever thought of it! And they went to all that trouble to create some kind of levitation array, idiots!"

No wonder he was excited.

Xu Fang was talking about phenomena they encountered in their daily lives, but no one tried to summarize them, let alone apply them.

What manpower can't solve, magic arrays can. What ordinary magic arrays can't solve, we'll use more complex and advanced magic arrays!

This created a vicious cycle in which all the blacksmiths and array masters were trapped without even realizing it.

Xu Fang's appearance was like opening up a completely new way of thinking.

The road ahead suddenly became clear!

"Come on! Follow me into the house!"

In his excitement, Qin Li grabbed Xu Fang's hand and pulled him inside, leaving Hu Xingyu completely bewildered.

Lift, interaction, all that nonsense...

However, judging from Qin Li's appearance, it seems that Xu Fang has really come up with something extraordinary.
