495.

 

Associate Professor Anna could only be left speechless as she looked at the incomparably bizarre magic formula that Ren had created.

 

‘This person is definitely a genius, that’s for sure.’

 

Though his occasional outbursts were a flaw, when she watched him as a mage, she couldn’t help but feel respect welling up naturally.

 

Ren, who had constructed a magic formula that made even Associate Professor Anna—who had deep knowledge of magic—feel dizzy, was genuinely delighted.

 

‘Hehehe! With this, I can have an interesting class.’

 

His passion and sense of responsibility as a professor in the Magic Studies Department were formidable.

 

Ren had been immersed in magic formula research for the past few days, eagerly awaiting the students’ return from their mission practice.

 

And today.

 

Finally, the students had returned and classes had resumed.

 

Anna found herself smiling unconsciously as she watched Ren proudly showing his magic formula to the students.

 

And then…

 

“I think there’s an error in the formula calculation, Professor.”

 

At the Seirun exchange student’s words, Anna felt her mind go dizzy.

 

Ren looked at Luna, who had raised her hand, with eyes that seemed ready to shoot beams of light.

 

“Are you the exchange student from Seirun?”

 

“Yes, that’s correct.”

 

“I see. How exactly is this formula’s calculation wrong?”

 

“The approach method in the first process of solving the formula seems incorrect!”

 

Anna screamed internally.

 

The other students murmured and looked back and forth between Ren and Luna.

 

For a mage, magic formulas were like their pride and joy.

 

Of course, new ideas and approaches were always welcome.

 

But in the case of this magic formula, it was something that didn’t exist before… a new magic formula that Ren had created.

 

To say that the approach method was wrong regarding that formula was an act that touched upon Ren’s pride as a mage.

 

“The approach method in the first process is wrong? Indeed.”

 

Ren curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Exchange student, what’s your name?”

 

“It’s Lu.”

 

“Are there any students who agree with Student Lu’s opinion?”

 

At Ren’s question, Chloe cautiously raised her hand.

 

“I also think there’s something slightly wrong in the formula’s approach process.”

 

Clap- Clap- Clap-

 

“Excellent. Excellent.”

 

Ren clapped his hands as if satisfied.

 

Associate Professor Anna felt relieved yet puzzled when Ren praised them instead of having an outburst as she had expected.

 

“This magic formula is the very first version I initially conceived. It’s been greatly improved by now, but as you all know, creating new magic isn’t something that happens overnight. The formula I’ve improved might become completely useless. That’s why I wanted to take the process of discussing and improving this initially conceived formula with all of you. Collective intelligence is important. You might discover parts that I haven’t thought of.”

 

After hearing Ren’s words, Luna clapped enthusiastically.

 

Caught up in Luna’s energy, the other students glanced around before joining in the applause.

 

At that enthusiastic response, Ren chuckled softly.

 

“Student Lu has an excellent attitude toward class.”

 

While making a satisfied expression, Luna spoke to Leo.

 

“The magic classes at this school are so good. That Professor Ren is a proper person, isn’t he?”

 

“You look happy.”

 

“Of course I’m happy! I could tell at a glance from that formula just how much magic has developed in this era!”

 

Luna’s eyes sparkled.

 

“You also noticed that the formula’s approach method was wrong, didn’t you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Since Luna had taught Leo magic before, she knew Leo’s level well.

 

“By the way, that girl named Chloe is impressive too. She’s still young.”

 

“She’s a mage with a promising future.”

 

“Good. It’s nice to see children with bright futures.”

 

Luna, resting her chin on her hand, looked around the entire lecture hall.

 

Leo and Luna had taken seats in the very back row.

 

“You get to see scenes like this every day. How does it feel to watch children growing day by day?”

 

“Very reassuring.”

 

“I thought so.”

 

Luna smiled warmly as she looked at the students who would lead the history of magic.

 

“It’s really wonderful.”

 

Looking at that smile that seemed somehow lonely, Leo couldn’t say anything.

 

***

 

After class ended, Leo and Luna, who remained in the lecture hall, waited until all the students had left.

 

In Eiran’s case, she had a lunch appointment with Chen Xia, so she had left first with Chloe.

 

“Hmm? Student Leo, Student Lu. Do you have something to ask?”

 

Ren, who was organizing the lecture hall, asked with a smile.

 

Looking at Ren, Luna nodded.

 

“Yes, we have something to ask about the magic formula Professor Ren showed us in today’s class.”

 

“Elves usually aren’t interested in anything other than Star Magic! Your passion for magic is excellent!”

 

Ren nodded as if satisfied.

 

“I was also impressed by Professor Ren’s passion for magic. Each and every thing you did today was truly ingenious.”

 

“I’m pleased to meet a student I can communicate well with. Lower Class, was it? It seems Seirun completely fails to recognize your value. Have you considered quitting and transferring to our school?”

 

The two engaged in a friendly conversation.

 

“So, what are you curious about?”

 

“The magic formula you devised is magic for going to the future, isn’t it?”

 

At Luna’s question, Ren’s shoulders trembled slightly.

 

“How did you… know that?”

 

Ren had never told the students anything other than that today’s magic formula theme was ‘time.’

 

He hadn’t even told Associate Professor Anna.

 

He thought that the process of studying the formula and inferring what the final purpose was would also be great learning.

 

But he never thought that someone would accurately see through his intention in the very first class.

 

“Actually, I’ve had similar thoughts recently.”

 

“Similar thoughts?”

 

“I thought it would be nice if there was magic to go to the past.”

 

“Why did you think that?”

 

“Because I want to fix one of the mistakes I made in the past.”

 

She wanted to smack the back of the head of her other self in the Heroes’ World who had confessed to Leo.

 

…It was an extremely ridiculous reason.

 

“I also devised this formula because I want to see my future self.”

 

Ren was curious about how much he would be praised as a great figure in the magic community.

 

Both were extremely faithful to their own desires and petty beyond measure, but that’s how magic was.

 

Achieving great transformation for trivial reasons.

 

That was exactly what magic was.

 

Of course, it would be safe to say there’s no possibility of completing magic that enables time travel.

 

Even so, this idea wasn’t absolutely wrong.

 

‘Because that’s magical progress.’

 

“Looking at your formula, Professor, I thought I’d like to discuss it by comparing it with the formula I constructed.”

 

“Oh ho.”

 

Ren let out an exclamation of admiration.

 

And he looked at Luna as if she were praiseworthy.

 

“Could you show it to me?”

 

Luna nodded at those words and stood in front of the blackboard in the large lecture hall.

 

Then she lightly flicked her finger.

 

Snap-!

 

The chalk on the blackboard instantly turned to powder.

 

The fine chalk powder that gathered in the air like smoke soon drew a magic formula on the blackboard.

 

Anna’s mouth fell wide open at the sight.

 

Ren stared blankly at the magic formula drawn on the blackboard.

 

‘Is this… a work of art?’

 

Ren’s body trembled.

 

The magic formula drawn on the blackboard looked like the magic formulas he had seen in ancient literature.

 

It wasn’t a formula of the latest trend.

 

But that made it all the more valuable, with an unfathomable depth.

 

‘This feeling… where have I felt this before?’

 

Ren’s gaze turned to Leo.

 

‘Right, I felt this when I first met Student Leo.’

 

Leo’s existence was shock itself to Ren.

 

He had thought Leo was the very future of the magical academic world.

 

But the elf student before his eyes had surpassed that.

 

‘What exactly is this elf student?’

 

Ren had seen countless magical talents.

 

He himself thought he was the type of human called a genius.

 

But today his thinking changed.

 

The elf female student before his eyes was literally of a different ‘class.’

 

Anna thought Ren would definitely have a seizure.

 

But Ren was calm.

 

“What kind of opinion do you want?”

 

“Are there any points to improve or any mistakes?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

Ren crossed his arms and looked at the magic formula.

 

Then he soon spoke.

 

“I think it would be better if you changed the middle formula runic language a bit. Instead of simply making the mana flow backward, make it flow in reverse direction while drawing a spiral. Since the concept of time is one that transcends dimensions.”

 

“Aha.”

 

Luna clapped her hands.

 

“Indeed, that’s right!”

 

After that, Luna and Ren continued to discuss magic.

 

And Ren was amazed watching Luna accept his opinions and develop the formula in a better direction.

 

‘With such talent and ability, yet actively accepting others’ opinions! Isn’t this the very ideal of a mage?!’

 

“Leo, what do you think?”

 

“It’s amazing.”

 

“Right?”

 

Luna made a happy expression.

 

Watching such Luna, Leo chuckled.

 

Luna Rubinance.

 

A mage who loves magic too much.

 

An elf who finds the greatest joy in exploring and researching the academic field of magic and pursuing magical truth.

 

For Luna, magic research was happiness itself.

 

That’s why he wanted to let Luna do as she pleased when it came to magic.

 

Watching the conversation between the two, Ren looked up at the ceiling and burst into laughter.

 

“Hehehe. Hehehehe!”

 

Anna made an anxious expression at the sudden laughter.

 

“Associate Professor Anna, just now I felt my destiny. I realized what the greatest achievement I can leave in this magic community is.”

 

‘Is it starting now?’

 

She tensed up expecting Ren to have a seizure.

 

“Two students, could you sit in front of the lecture hall?”

 

At those words, Leo and Luna sat down with puzzled expressions.

 

Anna looked at Ren with a face wondering what this human was trying to do again.

 

“I felt today that you two need a special lesson.”

 

“A special lesson?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“What kind of lesson?”

 

“A lesson about how men and women make babies.”

 

At the completely unexpected words, Luna made a dazed expression.

 

“This is something Student Leo and Student Lu will have to do together in the future…”

 

“What crazy nonsense are you spouting to the students! You crazy human!”

 

Anna, her face turning bright red, struck the back of Ren’s head hard with the attendance book.

 

“What is this behavior!”

 

“That’s what I want to ask! What exactly are you doing with students sitting there!”

 

At Anna’s outcry, Ren spoke firmly.

 

“All of this is for the magic community! Think about it – if a child were born between Student Leo and Student Lu, these two students who are magical geniuses! What a great blessing it would be for the magic community!”

 

“Student Leo! Student Lu! Please leave now! Don’t listen to this pervert’s words anymore!”

 

At Anna’s words, Leo and Luna left the lecture hall.

 

“What an interesting professor.”

 

Luna said with giggles.

 

“I like this school!”

 

“That’s good. Where do you want to go next?”

 

Luna grinned.

 

“The library.”

 

***

 

Roooooooar-!

 

Powerful dark magic was swirling.

 

Crack-!

 

Soon a woman emerged, breaking through the ground.

 

“It’s been a while. Kinesi.”

 

“Hel Kaiser.”

 

The demon with transparent hair and transparent eyes, Mirror Queen Kinesi, looked at the Overlord King.

 

“What’s this situation?”

 

Looking at his former colleague who asked with an expressionless face, the Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“I brought you back to life with divine authority.”
