"No, don't do it like that. It'll all clump together and become a water droplet."
Professor Camilla's voice was heard as she went around guiding the students.
She was giving advice while looking at each student individually, but her voice was about the same volume as when she was teaching the entire class.
'Is she saying it for everyone to hear?'
Anyway.
Davian focused on the magical connection again.
He had already failed more than twenty times.
'It's on a different level than the snowflake scattering magic.'
He succeeded in clumping the steam tightly together.
But even when he pushed fire element magic into it, electricity was not created by the potential difference between the positive and negative charges.
'It should definitely be that principle.'
Water element magic, which is a negative energy.
Fire element magic, which is a positive energy.
Mix them together and collide them.
However, throwing a fireball into the water doesn't create lightning.
It's only possible when the water is in a fine particle state.
'Should I increase the density of the steam?'
As he continued to focus on manipulating mana, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
It had been a long time since Davian had been so enthusiastic about magical practice.
'I want it so badly. Lightning Bolt.'
The demonstration Professor Camilla showed.
It could be said to be a new era of four-element magic.
He couldn't understand why something like that, which she had created years ago, hadn't become commercialized among wizards until now.
It might not be as powerful as the lightning that strikes in real rain clouds.
But it was a magic that flew at a speed of 100,000 km per second and struck the enemy.
'I must succeed.'
While he was concentrating on manifesting the Lightning Bolt magic.
Karin's irritated voice came from the right.
"Ah! Crap. Why won't this work when it seems like it should?"
He understood how she felt.
"Haa..."
From the left, Latia's sigh was heard.
You must feel the same way, Latia.
'Focus again.'
Manifest water element magic.
Boil it to create steam.
Manipulate mana to clump the steam tightly.
Until it no longer clumps and becomes a complete sphere.
Then manifest fire element magic again and quickly push it into the steam.
Then, as Professor Camilla said, lightning should be created as the negative and positive energies collide...
Pshhh.
The steam he had painstakingly clumped together was all blown away by the fire.
"No, the balance isn't right."
Professor Camilla's voice could be heard from over there.
Advice that was of no help to Davian.
He already understood all of that.
But Professor Camilla's constantly heard voice was distracting him.
She was giving individual advice to each student, so why was her voice so loud...?
'Ah!'
Davian turned his head and looked at Professor Camilla.
He made eye contact with Professor Camilla, who had turned her head after guiding a student.
Camilla pretended to just be looking around, but she couldn't deceive Davian, who had raised his inner strength to 6 stars or higher.
Even the skill 'Eyes to See the Sword Road' was now level 42.
'She's pretending to look around, but she's definitely looking back at me constantly.'
No matter how outstanding Professor Camilla was as a rising star in applied magic.
A magician is just a magician.
An ordinary magician cannot deceive the eyes of a swordsman.
'Professor Camilla has a mischievous side.'
It's deliberate.
She was deliberately repeating the content she taught in class earlier.
To create confusion.
More precisely, to create confusion for Davian.
'She's testing me.'
Repeating what she said means.
It must be a device to prevent new discoveries.
To keep thoughts confined within the content learned earlier.
Certainly.
There was something she didn't tell him when she was teaching earlier.
And she was hoping that Davian would find it himself.
'This isn't a practice session, it's a kind of test. Why didn't I realize that sooner?'
Davian refocused his mind.
First of all, what Professor Camilla told him was all correct.
There's just one more thing.
He was missing an important key.
The key to Lightning Bolt that Camilla deliberately left out.
First, he would try again.
Create steam. Clump it. Push in fire, which is a positive energy.
Pshhh.
'Wait.'
This is a world in a fantasy game, but.
Wasn't Davian just an ordinary science student from South Korea?
'Fire? Does lightning need fire to strike in the clouds on a rainy day?'
Lightning isn't created by something like fire entering the rain clouds.
'How is lightning created...'
Davian looked a little deeper into the common knowledge he already knew.
A strong updraft rubs against water droplets in rain clouds, separating the water droplets into positive and negative charges, and when the separated charges accumulate and the voltage difference increases, a discharge occurs where the negative charges instantaneously move toward the positive charges.
This discharge is... lightning.
'It's not about creating lightning magic by colliding fire and steam!'
He found it.
The key that Professor Camilla deliberately left out.
It's not about recklessly pushing fire element magic into the steam to create a collision between the two magics.
It's about separating the water droplets by pushing fire element magic from the bottom up.
Fire element magic is just replacing the role of a strong updraft.
It doesn't become a positive charge itself.
The key was in the small water droplets in the steam.
Of course, Camilla was unlikely to have this kind of scientific knowledge.
She probably doesn't even know what a charge is.
The talk about negative energy and positive energy was nonsense from the start.
Even Davian was momentarily caught up in prejudice and thought that negative energy was a negative charge and positive energy was a positive charge.
That was his downfall.
Even if she doesn't know the exact scientific principle.
Professor Camilla eventually figured out the method after many trials and errors.
The key to this is to separate the water droplets in the steam with fire element magic.
Even if she doesn't know the exact scientific principle, she must have figured out the exact method after many trials and errors.
But she deliberately left that out of the explanation.
'Should I try it again properly?'
After practicing several times, the time it took to solidify the steam was greatly reduced.
A fist-sized mass of steam was instantly created in front of Davian's palm.
And.
He began to separate the water droplets using the energy of fire element magic.
Crackle.
'It worked!'
Discharge due to potential difference began.
Crackle.
'Oh my god. Davian Na Ohne...'
Camilla Lucia's eyes widened.
Lightning was being created in front of Davian's palm.
'I deliberately left out one last important step and told him, how could he do it so quickly?'
Camilla spent a year to figure out this last important step.
In fact, she still doesn't know the principle well.
She only figured out the method through repeated practice.
She spent a year figuring out the method.
And it took her two years to naturally release lightning.
It took another four years to control the lightning as she pleased, as she does now.
Of course, she could have explained the last important step in the manifestation of Lightning Bolt in detail.
But Camilla did not choose that path.
'Now the real thing begins, Davian. Controlling that erratic lightning at will is much more difficult than creating lightning for the first time.'
The year she spent creating lightning was by no means a wasted time for her.
If it hadn't been for that time.
Camilla might not have been able to control lightning as freely as she does now.
Because she knew that fact better than anyone else, she presented her students with a path to develop themselves, not a shortcut.
Only then can they control the erratic lightning with their own will.
If they rashly take a shortcut, they will never be able to control the lightning.
The real trial and error.
It comes after creating lightning.
"Stop!"
Professor Camilla's voice echoed through the lecture hall.
The lightning that was crackling on Davian's palm quietly subsided.
"Davian. You're really amazing. Really amazing. But that's it for today. If you think about shooting it somewhere, the friends around you might all become roasted."
Davian nodded.
"I couldn't find a way to control it, so I couldn't let it out anyway."
He was about to withdraw the magic even if Professor Camilla didn't stop him.
Davian had no idea how to control this.
If he didn't know anything, he would have just shot it forward like a fireball.
Fortunately, Davian had at least a minimum of common sense.
If he had shot the Lightning Bolt as it was, it would have gone and stuck to the nearest metal object.
Like lightning strikes a lightning rod.
Davian, who had completely withdrawn the magic, looked around.
'Let's see, the closest metal is...'
It was too close.
The brooch on Latia Meridiem's chest, who was still struggling to create lightning next to him.
'I almost grilled Latia.'
Professor Camilla came closer.
"After this, you must practice alone in a field with nothing around or in a large practice room with strong protection magic. Got it?"
He was thinking of doing that anyway.
"Yes."
Professor Camilla put her hand on Davian's shoulder.
"I used to go to the central desert area alone every day to practice. Anyway, what you did today was really amazing. Davian. You exceed my expectations every time."
"Thank you."
Camilla's voice grew louder again.
"That's it for today's class. Other students should only go this far if they want to practice Lightning Bolt alone. Anything beyond that can cause dangerous things to happen, so students who have completed it up to this point must come and consult with me."
"Yes!"
Saturday.
Kanzar City.
"Saturn. You carried out this week's errand without any problems, right?"
"...That's right."
"How's the heart? Is Solitude doing well?"
The spy Saturn glared at Davian, who was wearing a disguise mask.
"The guy you planted knows it well."
Davian brought his ear to Saturn's chest.
"He's doing well."
"...You bastard."
"Thanks for the compliment. What time and where?"
Saturn handed over a piece of paper.
"The place drawn here. The time is 11 p.m."
"You picked a late time."
"The executives are now being very careful."
Davian nodded.
"I guess so."
"I have a question."
"What is it?"
"You said that you would take out Solitude if I did one errand. Do you know how many times it's been already? How long are you planning to make me do this?"
"That's right. It's taking longer than I thought?"
Saturn tilted his head.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Davian was planning to use Saturn, who was acting as a double agent, until he was caught by the organization and purged.
Killing two birds with one stone.
"Then we're going. Check the guy we're calling out tomorrow one last time."
Davian and Mons disappeared into the darkness.
Saturn stared at the direction they disappeared for a long time.
For almost an hour, Saturn stood like a stone statue in that spot, staring at the dark space.
Saturn's mouth slowly opened, and a monologue leaked out.
"You dog-like bastard. This is the end of this too, today."
Saturn put his hand in his pocket and took out a small pill.
It was a jet-black pill.
Gulp.
After swallowing the pill.
"Cough!"
He collapsed, spitting blood.
"You... the guy who made our organization... into this state... will die... today... Davian... Na Ohne..."
Thud.
Saturn's breath was cut off, and his upper body slammed into the floor.
