Did the villainous professor survive today?

As Kroenke announced the start, the students below picked up their pens and began doodling in their notebooks.

Some students even subconsciously opened their books, hoping to draw inspiration from their textbooks.

Seeing this, Kroenke offered a reminder:

"Let me make this clear beforehand: you don't need to look it up in a book. I know it better than any of you. I can tell you definitively that you won't find the right answer in a book."

Krenk walked to his seat on the podium and sat down.

"Let your mind wander and don't be confined to the textbook."

After Kroenke finished speaking, the students who were planning to flip through their books hesitated for a moment, then closed their textbooks and scratched their heads at the blank notebooks in front of them.

They couldn't understand how a second-tier mage could use a fourth-tier spell combination.

For a moment, even the sound of pens being put down in the classroom was silenced.

Mei Wen, sitting in the front row, glanced at everyone out of the corner of her eye and frowned slightly.

She's a little confused right now.

What level is Kroenke at?

If, as he says, one can use spell splicing at the second tier, it will be another sensational event in the magical world.

But Meiwen didn't believe it.

Throughout history, so many geniuses and sages have left their mark on the world, but without exception, they were all only able to use spell splicing at the fourth level.

There's no other reason than comparing magic to a swimming pool, because before one's own magic pool is spacious enough, there simply isn't enough space to accommodate two different spells for the purpose of spell grafting.

These are hard requirements, and cannot be compensated for by talent alone.

She preferred to believe that Krenk was a fourth-tier expert and then created a convoluted theory to confuse the issue.

Twenty minutes later.

"Time's up!"

Krenko fastened the cover of his pocket watch and looked at the crowd.

"Now, line up and hand in what you've thought of."

After she finished speaking, all the students left their seats and, under Enya's guidance, began to line up.

Krenk looked at the students queuing in front of him. The first one was a girl named Adele, with long light blue hair and light blue eyes. She looked like a vibrant cornflower.

Perhaps because of Klenk's praise, her notebook was filled with her thoughts.

Krenk took the notebook, glanced at the magic circle drawn on it, and then handed it back:

"You're on the wrong track. Let's go back."

Adele looked surprised:

"Teacher, so fast?"

"That fast?"

Kroenke stared at Adele and comforted her:

"It's okay, making mistakes is normal, don't worry."

【Linlang】

[Death Threat: E]

Kroenke stared blankly at the prompt on the system panel.

An Easterner? Or a royal name?

Is Adele using a fake name?

Kroenke quickly put aside his doubts and called the next person to come up and submit their report.

The situation in the East is chaotic, and some royal families do not want their children to be known for studying abroad, so it is quite normal to use pseudonyms.

Kroenke calmly took the next notebook, then glanced at it only once:

"Take it back, it's wrong."

The second person also hesitated for a moment, but quickly took the written content and slunk away.

"Next."

"It's wrong, take it away."

"Next."

"..."

"Isabel, even if you are a princess, I must be realistic. Your thinking has been completely wrong from the beginning, so please leave."

"Thank you for your guidance, Professor."

"..."

Meiwen sat in her seat, watching with deadpan eyes as Krenk beat the other students back one by one, sighing in boredom.

They dismissed their work with just one glance.

It was just a charade, really.

The queue gradually shortened.

In the end, no one was able to get Kroenke's approval.

Is it true that no one's line of thinking is correct?

As Krenk pondered, a thin boy wearing thick black glasses approached him and handed him his notebook.

Kroenke took the notebook:

"Allen, is this what you've been thinking about?"

Krenk stared at Allen's notebook. Unlike other students whose notebooks were filled with dense writing of their thoughts, Allen's notebook contained only a thin magic circle, like a ribbon, with no other written content.

"Um, teacher, just a moment."

As Allen spoke, he tore the thin, long magic circle off the notebook right in front of Krenk.

It was only then that Kroenke noticed that there was also a magic circle drawn on the back of the strip of magic circle that Allen had torn off.

Then, in front of everyone, Allen twisted one end of the double-sided magic circle 180° and then connected the two ends together.

Möbius strip.

Krenk's eyes lit up unusually:

"Huh? Allen, did you come up with this yourself?"

"Uh, yes, teacher," Allen scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, "this was just a whimsical idea of ​​mine. I didn't know how to implement it, or whether it was right or wrong, so I didn't write anything on it."

"But unfortunately, that's wrong."

Kroenke shook his head regretfully.

"The clarity of a second-tier mage's magic is far inferior to that of a third-tier mage. If we follow your idea, then at the point where two different spells intersect, the elements will change too quickly, causing the magic to explode."

"Um, sorry, teacher."

Allen bowed to Kroenke, his thick glasses sliding down, and he quickly reached out to straighten them.

"It's okay, you did a great job."

Kroenke took the Möbius strip from Allen's hand and displayed it in front of everyone.

"As you can see, Allen drew different arcane runes at both ends of the magic circle, flipped it over, and then connected the two ends together. This is something that is not recorded in the textbook. This spirit of independent thinking is worth encouraging."

Kroenke patted Allen on the shoulder.

"Alan, I'm giving you 5 extra points."

Upon hearing this...

The light in Allen's eyes brightened even more.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Let's go back."

Allen nodded, then walked along the aisle between the desks towards the farthest corner.

During this time, Yagula leaned to the side and reached out to give him a high five.

As for Catherine, she was initially staring at Allen, but after noticing that Allen was looking in her direction, she turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Andrew just scoffed.

Krenk's gaze shifted to Mayon in the crowd:

"Meiwen, you haven't been on stage yet."

"Teacher, I didn't write it."

Mei Wen's words were concise and to the point.

From the very beginning, she believed it was impossible.

"Can you tell me why?"

"For a mage, there is only one possibility to use the spell combination effect, and that is to reach the fourth rank."

Meiwen raised her hand.

"Nothing has ever done this before, but you say it can be done by everyone. I simply cannot believe it."

Krenk gripped the handle with his right hand, calmly gazing into Meiwen's eyes.

"Meiwen, is it the failures of others that make you think this is impossible?"

"yes!"

"Did the aether not exist before the great sage Odysseus Gustav first separated it from the wind element?"

"..."

Faced with Klenk's question, Meiwen felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

"Even if it's not second-tier, according to Allen's line of thinking, when a mage reaches the late third tier, their magic clarity increases, and they can use this kind of interconnected magic circle to achieve the effect of spell splicing."

Do you agree with this?

"..."

Meiwen choked up again.

Kroenke gently shook his head:

"So, if a third-order unit can do it, then why can't a second-order unit?"
