Wizard: I can predict the future

the next day.

Nord and Gray arrived at the open class location early.

Even though we arrived more than half an hour early, the venue was still packed with people.

The two could only find two seats at random on the edge of the room.

Nord looked around and realized that the entire building resembled a gladiatorial arena.

The seats, layered upon layered, extend upwards all around.

In the center was an open space about 100 meters in diameter.

The chaotic noises all around him were so loud that they made his ears uncomfortable.

I don't know how much time passed.

A man wearing a black cloak and a bowler hat slowly descended from the sky.

Finally, it hovered above the ground.

Almost the instant he appeared.

All sounds vanished, leaving only a stifling silence.

Simply because those who give public lectures are at least first-level wizards.

No one dared to provoke the other.

The man looked around and spoke calmly.

"I am Luca, the lecturer of the Elemental Department's open course. You can call me Professor Luca."

The room remained completely silent; no one uttered a sound.

Luca nodded slightly.

"very good."

His gaze swept indifferently over the crowd.

"I don't like being interrupted when I'm speaking."

"Otherwise, he will never be able to enter my classroom."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it.

Countless patterns of various shapes instantly appeared around him.

Yet, there exists an unspoken order between them.

"Everyone should have done their research before coming here."

"The reason why elements can be driven to form magic is because we construct corresponding magic models with these patterns, thereby leveraging the elements."

He paused slightly as he said this.

"Today, I'm going to introduce you to these patterns."

Nord looked at the patterns floating in the air.

I felt a jolt in my heart, and my entire gaze was drawn to it.

It wasn't just simple lines and patterns; it was more like some kind of rule copied from the heavens and earth.

If you had to use a word to describe it...

There are only two words to describe it: perfect.

The next moment, Luca casually waved his hand, and all the patterns instantly disappeared.

"But before that, I want you to understand why we wizards always say that knowledge is power."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

More than a dozen lines reappeared, intersecting and overlapping each other, quickly forming a three-dimensional structure.

It floats silently in mid-air.

"This is the standard model of a level 3, zero-ring sorcery spell, Lesser Lightning."

The words fell.

Luca tossed a crystal ball into the air.

The next second, a bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere, hitting the crystal ball precisely.

The number 9 instantly appeared on the crystal ball.

"This is using a bit of mental energy to activate one standard unit of magic power, resulting in damage of eight points of standard intensity."

Immediately afterwards, the structure in the air changed slightly.

Meanwhile, one of the connection points was slightly adjusted.

"Now, the witchcraft model in front of us has only had two patterns added and the position of one pattern adjusted."

As soon as he finished speaking, a second bolt of lightning struck.

15.

The numbers resurfaced.

Almost doubled.

Luca spoke slowly.

"And this is just a slight modification to the spell model, yet the effect is almost doubled."

"In the future, when you understand the meaning of these patterns..."

"You can also modify and adjust the witchcraft model, or even create a completely new witchcraft model!"

The classroom was deathly silent.

Nord's breath hitched slightly.

He stared intently at the model that had vanished into thin air.

In his mind, the changes that had just occurred were replaying wildly.

Two new lines and one position shift, that's all.

Damage is doubled.

He looked at Luca in the air.

For the first time, a thought clearly emerged in my mind.

If we could fully understand these patterns, or even more patterns.

Does that mean that some witchcraft can be combined to create an effect greater than the sum of its parts?

He suddenly realized.

My previous understanding of witchcraft was wrong.

He originally thought that witchcraft was simply the use of magic.

Now I understand that witchcraft is the application of witchcraft models.

Luca's voice rang out again.

"A wizard's strength has never been determined by how many spells he has mastered."

"It depends on how much you understand."

"If you only pursue the increase of power, you can repeatedly construct the sorcery model you just learned in your mental energy sea."

"As long as you use it enough times, you can cast this spell."

"But this result only means it can be used, not that people know how to use it."

that's it.

The entire course lasted a full hour.

Luca started by classifying the patterns, then moved on to the effects of different patterns, and finally began explaining the function of each pattern in the Lesser Lightning spell.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson."

"I think everyone has no more questions now!"

Nord was filled with doubts and had no idea why those patterns could form a wizard model.

But seeing Luca's aloof expression, he dared not get up to ask.

The thousands of aspiring or apprentice wizards in the classroom shared the same thought, and no one dared to ask.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Professor Luca, there's something I don't understand."

Immediately, everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken.

Nord also looked in the direction of the sound.

The person asking the question was a little girl, about eleven or twelve years old.

She wore a white dress, her dark red hair cascading down to her shoulders, her features delicate, and her brows held a composure beyond her years.

His eyes were extremely serious, without the slightest hint of fear.

Luca's furrowed brows slowly relaxed after he recognized the person asking the question.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Dorothy, which part didn't you understand?"

Dorothy looked up, her tone serious.

"Professor Luca, I don't understand the energy flow part of the model very clearly."

How does the wind element manipulate the power of lightning?

Luca nodded, but didn't rush to answer.

Instead, he raised his hand and drew a few simplified lines in the air.

"You need to understand one thing first."

"Thunder did not appear out of thin air."

He pointed to one of the structures.

"It is essentially a change in the wind element, a transformation under specific conditions of high wind element density."

He made a light stroke.

Several flowing lines then moved.

The model in the air began to change.

The originally static structure now exhibits a clear flow pattern.

The magic flow of the sorcery model, with wind elements constantly gathering and compressing.

Then, it was suddenly released at a certain point.

"When the compression of wind elements reaches a threshold."

"The thunder then appeared naturally."

Luca withdrew his hand.

"Your previous question was probably that you understood the patterns, but you didn't understand how the model worked."

Dorothy's eyes were fixed on the demonstration.

A look of sudden realization crossed his face.

It's like a key node was suddenly opened up.

next moment.

She closed her eyes, seemingly immersing herself in a sea of ​​spiritual energy.

Only a few breaths had passed.

"Snapped!"

A tiny bolt of lightning suddenly struck out.

Although it is far less than what Luca released, it truly exists.
