Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

Just like most household appliances are designed and manufactured with the premise of using alternating current. Because they are designed to use alternating current, they cannot use direct current. It is OK for a short time, but if direct current is used for a long time, the appliance will burn out. The same is true for humans.

"Teacher, where is the legendary witch?"

"do not know."

"why?"

"First, there is no data, because there are only a handful of legendary witches in the entire continent, and this kind of experiment itself will cause certain damage to a person's magic circuits. I don't think any legendary witch would be willing to take such a big risk just to know how much magic they can cast. Second, it has no reference value. Even if a legendary witch can really cast magic without a catalyst, what about other witches? How many legendary witches can there be in this world?"

"Wait, I suddenly remembered. I don't know if it's true, but I saw a book in the library of the Magic Integration Association headquarters that introduced that magicians on the continent of Luwafos can cast magic without a catalyst. The book also mentioned that this is a magic system that is completely different from the supercontinent of Penicsia." Vivi suddenly thought of something.

Chapter 9 Learning Magic

"According to the book, magicians on the Luwafos continent can cast magic directly without the need for a wand or other catalyst. Instead, they must chant a specific spell or draw a specific spell array before casting magic. Even the most basic magic like fireball and water bullet is no exception."

"But after the author's investigation and interviews, it was discovered that they can cast magic not without catalysts, but the spells they chanted or the magic circles they drew when casting the spells are actually a kind of catalyst. This special catalyst is called rune. The magic system based on runes is also called arcane magic. According to the verses, number of sections, speed of the chanted spells and the mental state of the caster, magic with various effects can be cast freely. It is a magic system completely different from ours."

"Damn, Runes, an old acquaintance. As expected, whenever magic is mentioned, Rune culture is indispensable." Rhine complained in his mind.

"However, the author doesn't seem to be very optimistic about this system, thinking that it's too fancy, especially when you have to read the spell loudly when casting it, and the louder the voice, the more obvious the effect of the spell. Isn't this the same as telling others to get out of the way because I'm going to attack you?"

"Output is all about shouting, no problem."

"In addition, the efficiency of arcane magic is also quite low. For the same high-level magic, our magic system can basically cast it instantly, while they need to chant the spell for several seconds or even more than ten seconds before they can release it. If you encounter more complex magic, you may even need to use the void drawing (magic) array to complete the release of the entire spell. If it is a holy-level magic, super-level magic or forbidden spell-level spell, it often requires a lot of prerequisites to be met before the spell can be completed."

"But it's not completely without advantages. For example, arcane magic is not restricted by the factors of the casting environment. No matter how much magic is contained in the air or the density of the elemental particles in the environment, it will not affect the output effect of the spell. But we are different. If the magic or elements in the air are particularly scarce, then the effect of the same spell will be greatly reduced. Therefore, using magic of different attributes according to different environments is also a compulsory course for apprentice witches."

As if afraid that Rhine didn't understand, Weiwei added, "To put it simply, in an environment with dense water elements such as rivers, lakes, and seas, the power of water-attribute magic will be greatly enhanced, while the power of fire-attribute magic will be greatly reduced. Conversely, if water-attribute magic is used in an environment with scarce water elements such as deserts, volcanoes, and Gobi, the effect will also be weakened."

"It's hard to say which of the two systems is better or worse. After all, there are also legendary witches in the Luwafos continent. It's just that they are divided into the first and second levels, with a total of seven levels. They correspond to our magic apprentices, magicians, wizards, witches, high-level witches, great witches and legendary witches. The author also clearly recorded that a seventh-level wizard named Celica Alphonea was a woman who made her feel dangerous, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be able to fight in the end." Vivi explained with a slightly regretful tone.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

"Indeed, what I, Lu Xiaobu, like most is watching women fighting." Rhine also felt a little regretful.

But no matter what he said, he still preferred the magic system of this continent because he didn't want to recite the spell loudly when casting magic. How should I put it? It's too damn embarrassing. Let me give you a few examples.

[The High God of Lion Dancers, Shinsho-ji, hereby praises and worships you. Flame horse of the aurora, glorious unicorn. You are the one who commands the music of heaven and thunder, and shoots through the demons and ghosts with wrathful flames.]

[The Son of God of Suanni and the High Sword Wizard pray here - the dawn of destroying the devil, the God Wolf of Xuexia, quickly use the power of steel to help me destroy the evil gods and ghosts! ]

[I offer the text of the contract to release the spirit power covering the universe. I offer the text of the contract to release the magic beasts of light dancing in the sky. I offer the text of the contract to breed the evil spirit beasts sleeping on the earth. I offer the text of the contract to breed the spirit beasts of light sleeping in the sky.]

【This body is born in the long run. Therefore, everyone abandons me and dies first. Even if I indulge in lust and pursue my traces, I cannot catch up. Talent is not enough, I wish to fill the difference between the moment of life. Therefore, I pull my feet - the demon nature under the water stirs up waves and swims - the cannibalistic shadow of the torture city! 】

[The interweaving of light and shadow, the judgment of sin and punishment, no matter right or wrong. People are born with original sin, and only death can bring true redemption. The wheel of fate begins to turn, and the day of judgment comes. The holy spear sealed in the body, I will turn my body into your sharp blade, ignite the red lotus fire to purify the sins of the world! ——Red Lotus of Karma! 】

These spells are indeed cool, but they are too childish, and I can't pronounce them out loud. Therefore, he declared that the civilization that needs to chant spells to release magic is a bad civilization, long live the magic without chanting!!! Rhine is very glad that the magic system here allows him to keep the dignity of a thirty-year-old man. Really, he is already an adult, shake him.

"By the way, what's the name of that book? I must read it if I have the chance." Rhine asked curiously.

"Loirvoyce's Travel Notes is a travelogue of the continent published 200 years ago. It was not published on a large scale. If you want to read it, you can only try your luck in some large national libraries. The author is Olivia Sebont, a unique legendary witch. However, there has been no news about her for years. Some say that she is trapped in a maze, some say that she may have traveled to another continent, and some say that she may have died in an unknown secret place. But no matter which one it is, this legendary witch has indeed been missing for years."

"That's a pity indeed. If nothing unexpected happens, a legendary warrior can live for three or four hundred years without any problems."

"No matter what happens in other continents, at least in our magic system, the magic power in the human body does not directly participate in the release of magic. Instead, the magic power in the body is used to form a spell, and then the spell is used to drive the magic power in nature to achieve the purpose of manipulating the elements. This is the basic principle of magic."

In case Rhine didn't understand, Weiwei gave another example. "Let's take the simplest first-level spell [Water Bullet] for example."

"In order to release the Water Bullet Technique, the first step is to give the technique clear parameters. Such as the size of the water bullet, the direction to aim at, the initial velocity when launching, the trajectory after launching... and so on. If any of the conditions (logic) is missing, the technique will be incomplete."

"After setting clear parameters for the technique, the second step is to think about how to produce this water bullet technique. In other words, how is the water bullet produced?"

"Most people's understanding that magicians can create earth, fire, water, wind and other substances out of thin air is actually wrong. Magic is not omnipotent. The reason why magicians can create water, fire, thunder, and wind out of thin air is because these elements already exist in nature. We just show them in the form of magic."

"In fact, magic also has to follow the most basic theorems, such as the principle of equivalent exchange. That is, if a wizard uses magic that is far beyond his own power, he will lose something in his body as a price, which may be his voice, vision (hearing), an organ or even his life span. The more powerful the magic, the greater the price paid. Therefore, even the most ordinary witch can release a full-strength attack comparable to that of a great witch at the cost of her life, so there are rarely death battles between witches."

"In addition, there are the principles of parallel space-time and the principle of conservation of matter." (Note 1)

"Wow, equivalent exchange, parallel time and space, conservation of matter, are these really scientific magic? Nowadays even playing magic requires basic knowledge." Rhine didn't know how to complain anymore.

"Water Bullet Technique, as the name suggests, is to use water as a bullet to shoot out, and the most important component of this technique is water. Since water cannot appear out of thin air, where does the water used in the technique come from?" (Note 2)

"I know!! In the air." Rhine said quickly.

"Eh!!!" Weiwei originally wanted to explain by asking and answering questions herself, but she didn't expect that Rhine would get there first.

"Ahem... That's right. Water elements exist not only in rivers, lakes and seas, but also in the clouds in the sky. Even in the air we breathe every moment, there are water elements. It's just that the content of water elements in the air is too small, and it is also mixed with other elemental particles such as earth element, wood element, light element, wind element, lightning element... Therefore, the key to the second step is how to use magic to extract the water elements in the air alone."

"Teacher, does that mean that if we extract other elements separately, they will become another spell? For example, if we extract the wind element, it will become [Wind Blade], if we extract the lightning element, it will become [Lightning Flash], and if we extract the earth element, it will become [Stone Bullet]."

"Yes, Rhine is very smart."

"What about Fireball?"

"Fire magic is quite special, because the fire element in the air is extremely rare. The fire element in the air alone cannot support large-scale fire magic, so wood and wind elements are needed. For example, the [Fireball] you asked about is to first gather the wood element and then add a small amount of fire element to it to transform the wood element into fire element, rather than directly gathering fire elements from the air. In addition to elemental coloring, there are other phenomena such as elemental reaction, elemental fusion, elemental neutralization, etc. The reasonable use of the mutual promotion and mutual restraint between elements can make the caster more comfortable when casting spells."

"Oh! I understand. Anyway, it's the Fire Master. Teacher, please continue."

"The third step is to continue to improve the technique based on the second step. For example, from what range of air should water elements be extracted? How much water elements should be extracted? What is the extraction rate... and so on."

"The fourth and final step is to use the magic power in the body to write a framework that can connect the previous three steps. When the ritual is activated, the magic power in the body will automatically control the magic power in nature to run step by step according to the logical steps set in the ritual. When the logic of the entire ritual is fine and runs successfully, it means it is successful."

"Of course, the four steps mentioned above are actually the principles of magic formulas. In fact, unless you plan to create your own magic, you don't need this theoretical knowledge. Because the current magic system has been quite perfect after thousands of years of development and improvement, most magic formulas can be learned in specialized magic schools or magic books." (Note 3)

"Even if you don't understand the principles of the spell, as long as you memorize the spell and substitute the required parameters, you can still release the magic. For example, the water bullet spell mentioned earlier, because the person who wrote the water bullet spell has already set the main conditions for releasing the water bullet spell, others only need to substitute some parameters such as shooting speed, direction, trajectory, etc. to release it directly, without having to consider where the water comes from, how to extract water, and how much water to extract." (Just like in the game, we only need to consider how and when to release qwer, instead of considering how the code should run when releasing q.)

"Wait? Why does this magic writing sound similar to programming? Now I'm not sleepy anymore." After listening to Teacher Weiwei's explanation, Rhine's DNA moved.

What is programming? In order for computers to understand human intentions, humans must tell computers the ideas, methods and means of solving problems in a form that computers can understand, so that computers can work step by step according to human instructions to complete certain tasks. This process of communication between humans and computers is programming. If the computer in this passage is replaced by magic, and humans are replaced by wizards...

In order for the magic in nature to understand the wizard's intentions, the wizard must tell the magic the ideas, methods and means of the problems to be solved in a form that the magic can understand, so that the magic can work step by step according to the wizard's instructions and complete a specific task. This process of communication between the wizard and the magic is magic.

For example, computers cannot directly recognize, understand, and execute source programs other than machine language. They must be converted into a form that computers can execute in some way. Isn't this the same as a wizard being unable to directly control the magic power in nature and having to use a magic wand as a catalyst to convert the magic power in the body into magic power that can be recognized, understood, and executed by the magic power in nature? No wonder it is said that every senior programmer is actually a great magician. It turns out that this is not a random statement. It is well-reasoned and convincing.

"Teacher!!! I understand!" Rhine said as he stood up from the sofa and bowed deeply to Weiwei. "Thank you very much for your patience. Listening to your words today is better than studying hard for ten years."

"Ah??? No, no, no... What I'm talking about are the basic knowledge that teachers in magic academies teach in class. There's no need to be so polite. Besides, as a member of the Magic Integration Association, I have the obligation to popularize magic to ordinary people. I'm actually very happy when someone asks me questions. After all, people here don't seem to be very interested in magic. There have been very few people who have come to visit me in the past six months."

"Wait a minute! I have a question too!" Irena raised her hand.

"From just now on, you two have been talking about who should learn magic or you should! And what have you realized? Except for the beginning when I could understand a little bit, I don't know where you started to understand what you were talking about!" Irena put her hands on her hips angrily. She was obviously the protagonist today, but she became Rhine's foil.

"It's okay. If you don't understand, I can teach you. I know a lot about programming. I'll let you know what a senior programmer is. It's my turn next!" Rhine patted his chest and was very confident. After figuring out that the essence of magic is programming, he felt that he had already stepped half a foot into the door of legend. Isn't it just programming skills for yourself? Let's see if he doesn't make a few atomic bombs to play with. Men, who doesn't like to grow mushrooms?

"I don't need your teaching, I'm a genius! (▼皿▼＃)" Rhine Irena said unconvincedly as she looked at the high-spirited Rhine Irena.

"By the way, Teacher Weiwei, you haven't told me how to become a magic apprentice." Rhine ignored Irena's angry words and brought the topic back to the point.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the magic props for testing. I haven't used them for so long that I don't even know where I put them." After saying that, Weiwei began to rummage through the drawers in a hurry.

"Ah, found it." After a while, Weiwei found a crystal clear and transparent crystal glass ball from a pile of debris.

"I understand! The next step is the legendary show-off phase!" Rhine said excitedly.

Chapter 10: Complete the Job Change Task

"Let me guess, is it true that as long as you put your hand on it, it will automatically display the tester's qualifications and elemental compatibility? For example, the brighter the light emitted by the crystal ball, the more outstanding the talent. If you encounter a super genius, it is possible that the crystal will burst directly. Or maybe a red light means affinity with the fire element, and a blue light means affinity with the water element. For geniuses, they often have affinity with all elements, and the crystal ball emits colorful light." Looking at the so-called testing props in Vivi's hand, Rhine couldn't help but complain.

"No, the magic tools you mentioned that can identify aptitude and elemental compatibility are very expensive. Even in specialized magic schools, there are usually only one or two. They are usually used for class placement tests when students enter school. Students are divided into different classes based on the results and taught according to their aptitude. Such high-end items are not available in my small base, not even in the branch in the main city of Roberta."

"What! I guessed wrong! Why didn't the director follow the routine? I was ready to show off." Rhine was so embarrassed that he could afford a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Especially the way Irena looked at him as a fool made him feel even more ashamed...

"What's the use of this ball?"

"This magic item does not have any testing function. It is simply used as a catalyst."

"Catalyst?" Rhine asked doubtfully.

"Yes, because for ordinary people who have never been exposed to magic, the use of magic wands is too complicated. However, without the help of catalysts, the magic power in the human body cannot resonate with the magic power in nature. Therefore, simple catalyst props like this one, which are only used to sense (activate) magic power but cannot cast magic, were born. Due to their simple functions, the cost is also very cheap. Ordinary noble families will prepare a few to teach their children magic."

"Why doesn't my family have it? My family is not even as good as the lesser nobles." Rhine said that he had never seen such a thing at home in the past three years. Could it be that the great nobles disdain to use this?

"Just place both palms on the crystal ball, and then use the magic power in your body to sense the magic in nature. If the resonance is successful, the crystal ball will glow. When you can sense the magic in nature, it means that you are qualified to become a magic apprentice. The next step is to pass the written test of the Magic Integration Association to truly become a magic apprentice." Weiwei introduced to the two.

"How about it, kids? Do you want to try it?" Weiwei said half-jokingly.

Because it was only the lowest level apprentice in the profession, the difficulty of the assessment was not too great. And because humans were born with a small amount of initial magic power, theoretically everyone could become a magic apprentice, it was just a matter of time. The most important thing was how to mobilize one's own magic power to communicate with the magic power in nature. As for the written test, it was even less of a problem, as long as the knowledge in the book was memorized.

"I'll go first, I'll go first!" In order to show that she was the protagonist today, Irena raised her hand first, fearing that if she was a step slower, Rhine would steal the limelight.

"Okay, let her go first." Rhine also wanted to see how capable this genius witch, who was praised as the youngest genius in Roberta's history in the anime, was. After all, even he, who had never watched the anime, had heard of Irena's genius, so she must have something extraordinary.

"First, place both hands on the crystal ball, remembering that your palms must be close to the surface of the ball. Then close your eyes and concentrate on taking deep breaths until you feel a warm feeling in your lower abdomen. That is the initial magic power in your body." (Qi Shen Dantian)

"Next, you need to use your mind to guide this magic power. Specifically, you need to plan a route for it to move from your lower abdomen to your palm. Since everyone's magic circuit is different, you just need to go by your feeling. Generally speaking, your subconscious mind will slowly guide this weak magic power to move along the magic circuit. Don't worry if you don't feel it. Take your time. If it doesn't work once, try it twice. When you can feel the warmth from your abdomen in your palm, you can imagine transferring this warmth to the crystal ball. This step will be more difficult and you may need to try a few more times."

"After magic power is injected into the crystal ball, as long as you use your heart to sense the surrounding environment, you will find that there are many small light spots floating in the air around you that were originally invisible to the naked eye. Those are various particles that exist in nature. White light is magic particles, and colored light is element particles. We call this state of being able to see elements elemental vision. If you want to become a magic apprentice, mastering elemental vision is a prerequisite. But it doesn't matter even if you can't see it. You are still young now. I only saw it when I was 11 years old..." However, before Weiwei finished her words, the crystal ball lit up like a light bulb.

"Ah, this..." Faced with the sudden slap in the face, she was speechless for a moment.

"Ah! I see! There are really many twinkling little stars, just as beautiful as the starry sky I saw last night." At this moment, the crystal ball in Irena's hand was emitting a soft light, which showed that she had indeed made the magic power in her body resonate with the magic power in nature. When Irena took her hand away, the light from the crystal ball disappeared.

"How about it? I'm awesome, right?" Irena showed off to Rhine.

"Don't be impatient, the protagonist hasn't shown off yet. Usually, the one who makes his final appearance at this time is the most powerful. Watch me burst this broken ball. Reinhardt - Fighting Spirit! Three stages!" Rhine shouted impatiently before even putting his hands on it.

Because she was so shocked, Vivi didn't notice Rhine's nonsense. After calming down, she took the crystal ball to Rhine. With Irena's foresight, Vivi also had expectations for Rhine. "Remind you, this is not a test item. And don't be discouraged even if you don't sense magic. Boys' magic compatibility is inherently worse than girls'. I didn't sense magic until I was eleven years old. Besides, if boys can't be mages, they can still be warriors... warriors..."

"Ahahaha! I sense it! I sense it!!" That's right, the crystal ball in Rhine's hand also burst into light. There was no "accident" that often appears in novels, or any bloody plot like a waste who can't practice magic. After all, his current magic power value has reached 2500, which is much higher than that of the apprentice witch Weiwei, and he also has an officially certified perfect-level growth talent. How could he be a waste?

Sir, times have changed. It is no longer acceptable to start with a waste flow these days.

"Ah, this..." After all this time, the clown turned out to be her. If there were no one else present, she would have burst into tears. It was not enough to be hit on the left cheek, but she also offered the right cheek.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. As long as I pass the written test, can I become a magic apprentice?" Rhine asked impatiently. He didn't care whether the other party was autistic or not. What he cared about most now was his own job change.

"Yes...yes..." Weiwei answered subconsciously.

"What are you waiting for? Arrange it for me right away!"

"I want one too, I want one too! Arrange one for us quickly!" Irena also looked very motivated.

"Hey! You two little guys, don't be too proud. How can you do something that makes others feel upset? Apologize to your sister!" The uncle who had been taking a nap was suddenly awakened by the noise of the children. What came into his eyes was the happy brother and sister on one side and the depressed apprentice witch on the other. Although he didn't know what happened, he was sure that these two naughty ghosts had done something excessive.

"It's okay, it's okay. Although this crystal ball doesn't have the function of testing talent and aptitude, there is no doubt that these two children have excellent aptitude in magic. However, the written test is different from magic perception. No matter how good the talent is, it won't help. Without a solid theoretical foundation of knowledge, you can't pass the test." Weiwei reminded kindly.

"You're kidding. How do you know if you don't try? We... I can't pass the exam." Rhine looked at Irena and changed 'we' to 'me'.

"What do you mean? Do you think I can't pass the exam?" Irena said angrily.

Ignoring the two people who were bickering, Weiwei asked the guardian, "Excuse me, I want to ask this father, how old are the two children this year, and have they ever been exposed to magic before?"

"The brother and sister are both four years old. As for Irena, she has never been exposed to magic before. As for Rhine, you have to ask him himself, because he used to live with his parents." The uncle was not sure whether Rhine had ever been exposed to magic, because children in aristocratic families basically started elite education from an early age, and there were children who started learning magic and swordsmanship at the age of four or five.

"I've learned a little at home. If possible, please let me, no, please let me try. Please!"

"Ms. Weiwei, look..." Uncle also pleaded on behalf of Rhine.

"Sure, anyone who can activate the crystal ball can take part in the test."

"Long live!!!" Rhine cheered.

"I want one too!!!"

"Irena, please don't get involved. You just bought the book today, and you have never been exposed to magic before. Wait until you have learned it before taking the exam." The uncle advised kindly.

"No, ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ, I have to take the test too if Rhine is taking it." Irena started to make a fuss on the sofa.

"It's okay. Didn't little Irena activate the crystal ball? So it doesn't violate the association's rules."

"Then I'll leave it to you." said my uncle a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, wait here for a moment. I'll go get the association's assessment paper."

After Weiwei left, the uncle asked worriedly, "Little Rhine...did you really not ask?"

"No problem, I've already learned it at home." Although he looked as steady as an old dog, he was actually quite nervous. After all, the content he had learned in the study was some relatively complex and profound magic knowledge, and his basics were not very solid. But fortunately, before that, he had quickly browsed through the magic books that his uncle bought for Irena. But don't get me wrong, he was not cramming at the last minute, but wanted to verify whether his guess was correct. Because before that, he had used reverse engineering to understand the magic system of this world, but he had never had the opportunity to verify it. Irena's magic books just filled in his gaps, and with Teacher Weiwei's words, he felt that he could pass. (Note 1)

.

.

In the evening, the sun was setting, and the fiery red afterglow of the sunset enveloped this peaceful border town. Weiwei stood in front of the dilapidated hut with tears in her eyes, watching Rhine and his group leave. Her tears could not stop flowing until the three people disappeared from her sight. Today, she realized the true meaning of the phrase "not very harmful, but extremely insulting". If Rhine was not a boy, she would definitely report today's incident to the headquarters. As long as a 4-year-old magic apprentice did not die young, it was a foregone conclusion that he would eventually become a great witch, but unfortunately Rhine was a boy, and at best he was only a wizard.

"Every day is the same, but sometimes I have a sudden inspiration! As long as I have Doraemon, my dreams will be infinitely extended. Share with me when I'm happy, and stay by my side when I'm sad! Take out its magical pocket and forget your troubles~~Find the legendary treasure and adventure to faraway places. Look at me! Anywhere door! Ang! Ang! Ang! Doraemon and I will let our dreams shine." Rhine hummed Doraemon's little song while playing with the magic apprentice badge he just bought, and from time to time he would toss the badge up and catch it like a coin. Mood, perfect adjustment↑. Now it's okay for him to go to the Arima Memorial.

This badge represented that he had officially become a genuine mage. Once the job transfer task was completed, the level limit disappeared, and the experience points he had accumulated directly allowed him to level up to level 21, while also unlocking a series of system functions.
