Seeing that Lynn had already memorized these rules, the expression on Jonny's face relaxed, and the solemn atmosphere on the field dissipated.
At this moment, Lynn, with a hint of confusion, asked, "Mr. Jonny, wasn't it said that foreign wizards usually have to go through a probationary period before they can be granted the status of an official wizard?"
"I personally think the prob...

Kevin gazed at Lynn with a deeply complex look. He originally wanted to witness the incredible Everlasting Flame mentioned by Loude, but Lynn unexpectedly revealed another powerful and no...
2023-10-28 19:20:10 +0000 UTC View PostConsidering that the opponent was a three-ring wizard, Rol gave it his all without holding back.
Phillip and the others also appreciated Rol's clever timing in casting his spell, using a zero-ring magic as a cover, which could catch the opponent off guard.
Of course, no one in the room believed that this magic could truly harm a three-ring wizard! With a simple second-ring spell lik...
2023-10-28 19:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few courteous words, both of them turned their gaze toward the grand wizard, who was acting as the referee.
Herlram showed no intention of delay and spoke directly, "Let's begin!"
The moment those words were spoken, Lynn took the initiative. Seizing the advantage was crucial in any battle. In an instant, seven Magic Missiles materialized, shooting like arrows from a drawn bo...
2023-10-28 19:19:42 +0000 UTC View PostRol's inquiries were temporarily brushed aside by Lynn, but private discussions continued without end.
As a special envoy from the Wizard's Council, Tike wasn't in a rush to evaluate Lynn's abilities. Instead, he showed great interest in discussing arcane knowledge. Lynn had no intention of hiding anything. The wider the dissemination of basic mathematical knowledge related to the arcane,...
2023-10-28 19:19:27 +0000 UTC View PostLydia enthusiastically recounted her flying experience, captivating the apprentices and townsfolk alike.
Would flying through the clouds in the sky truly feel as refreshing as being caressed by a sea breeze? Everyone yearned to experience this extraordinary sensation.
And ten silver coins didn't seem all that expensive.
The halfling girl chattered on and on, but upon seeing He...
2023-10-28 19:19:14 +0000 UTC View PostAmidst the gaze of the crowd, the airship began to descend slowly and soon hovered about forty meters above the square.
All the wizards on the square and the sharp-eyed townsfolk could see two round balls hanging beneath the airship.
The first had a diameter of about half a meter, made entirely of metal and tethered by a thick leather rope, which appeared taut and on the verge of br...
2023-10-28 19:18:47 +0000 UTC View Post"Unbelievable, this thing is actually flying!"
If the sight of the airship soaring through the skies amazed the wizards, it was nothing short of awe-inspiring for the townspeople who gathered to watch.
Because everyone in Lydia's group was known to the townsfolk. They were a bunch of half-humans who usually caused a ruckus and had a penchant for tinkering with strange contraptions.<...
2023-10-28 19:18:23 +0000 UTC View PostDarren's words had left the townsfolk present itching with curiosity, yet they had no choice but to speculate whether this airship, called the "flying boat," would actually take flight, how long it would stay aloft, and if it would meet the same fate as previous aircraft, crashing before reaching the skies.
Meanwhile, the professors and students of Iyeta Academy gathered in the central sq...
2023-10-28 19:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostTwo days later, a convoy pulled by several robust camels slowly made its way along the official road of the harbor city.
At the forefront of the convoy, inside a lavishly decorated carriage, an elderly wizard gazed out of the window, taking in the architectural layout of the entire city.
"Mr. Tike, do you really believe this continent could be spherical?" Beside him, a well-dressed ...
2023-10-28 19:17:47 +0000 UTC View PostHalf a month passed in the blink of an eye since Lynn had crossed into this otherworldly realm, and it had been the most peaceful time he'd experienced.
In the mornings, he taught a few classes of arcane mathematics at the Iyeta School of Magic. In the afternoons, he checked on the progress of the airship being constructed at the gnome's workshop. As for the evenings, he would work on adv...
2023-10-28 15:47:43 +0000 UTC View PostLynn, with just a few brief sentences, brought Ailock down from heaven to hell. All the students present shivered uncontrollably.
"Advanced math is an extremely precise subject. We need to search for patterns within a vast and complex array of data, summarize them into corresponding formulas to simplify the algorithms and improve the overall efficiency of calculations," Lynn said, su...
2023-10-28 15:47:35 +0000 UTC View PostJust as Lynn expected, the high demands didn't deter Lydia. Instead, it ignited her spirit, and she earnestly examined the design plans.
Upon learning that crafting an airship required lightweight yet durable materials, Lydia immediately suggested using water-soaked and sun-dried camel-hide leather for the airship's envelope. This material was well-suited to the task and was commonly used...
2023-10-28 15:47:23 +0000 UTC View PostUnder Lynn's extremely "friendly" gaze, Darren struggled to swallow his saliva and immediately fell silent.
Lydia, as if remembering something, asked in excitement, "Professor Lynn, did Master Herlram send you? Have I passed the assessment?"
"My purpose here has nothing to do with Master Herlram," Lynn refuted the girl's guess, then continued, causing disappointment to flash across ...

It was a circular wooden wheel, approximately a meter in diameter. Water continuously flowed down from a reservoir above the workshop, driving the wheel to spin ...
2023-10-28 15:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostLynn's gaze swept over the ten first-circle magics. After much deliberation, he chose "Chill Touch" as the subject of his improvement.
The principle of this magic was quite simple – manipulating the elemental air to lower temperatures, condense it to interfere with the enemy. Its effectiveness in battle was quite limited unless one pursued the advanced magic, "Frost Domain." Few were wi...

Sn = a1(1 - q^n)/(1 - q)
Lynn wrote down the formula represented by the grid game using magic as ink. She then looked at the apprentices who were still recovering from the terror of exponential growth, and spoke loudly.
"Why don't you all take note of this formula?"
Jonny and the others quickly flipped through the pages and used feather quills to transcribe ...
2023-10-28 15:46:41 +0000 UTC View Post"Good morning, everyone. I am Lynn, the newly appointed professor of arcane mathematics at the Iyeta School of Magic..."
Under the watchful, sometimes surprised and skeptical eyes of the students, Lynn stood at the lectern, using his hand as a pen and pure magic as ink, writing his name in the void.
The once quiet classroom immediately buzzed with excitement.
"Professor Lynn, ...
2023-10-28 15:46:32 +0000 UTC View Post"This is the currency exchange!"
On the west side of Iyeta Harbor, Philip led Lynn into a brightly lit and luxuriously decorated shop. The floor was made of pure white marble, smooth as a mirror. Two imposing griffin skulls hung on the walls, their sharp eagle eyes watching every customer who entered or exited.
In the center of the hall, a large bioluminescent mushroom lamp glowed b...
2023-10-28 15:46:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, after a night of meditation, Lynn got up and, following a quick wash, headed out. He coincidentally bumped into Professor Philip, an Elemental Studies expert, who was also leaving his residence.
"Professor Lynn, did you have a good rest last night?" Philip greeted with a smile.
"Quite well, the conditions here are much more comfortable than within the Sercast Empir...
2023-10-28 15:46:14 +0000 UTC View Post"Perhaps the only hope for some treatment lies in going to the Wizard's City and seeking out those adept in spiritual magic," Philip sighed, warning Lynn not to get his hopes up.
Though the girl's body remained frozen, showing no signs of change, it had been over half a month now, and her soul likely had already dissipated.
Hearing Philip's words, Lynn couldn't help but feel disappo...
2023-10-28 00:31:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe free fall experiment had quickly come to an end. Once Herlram dispelled the vacuum field, the group of professors finally recovered from their previous astonishment.
"It seems Kora was right; some of the theories from the wizarding realm are indeed outdated compared to the outside world," Herlram sighed.
Apart from astrophysics and kinetic formulas, Lynn's research notes contain...
2023-10-28 00:31:42 +0000 UTC View Post"Yes, that's exactly what I mean, Master Herlram."
Lynn nodded, casting a glance at the people present and then rotating the newspaper in front of him, pushing it toward everyone.
"Have any of you read this week's 'Magic Weekly'?" Lynn asked. "The legendary wizard Harof proposed that gravity might exist widely in any object, not just the land beneath our feet."
Lynn couldn't h...
2023-10-28 00:31:12 +0000 UTC View PostTheodore's irritable words immediately captured everyone's attention.
Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Theodore didn't say much. He simply handed over the so-called research manuscript, and Kevin and the others took it and began to read, their faces contorted with mocking expressions.
When this manuscript reached the hands of Herlram, the grand wizard, he didn't laugh. He d...

These were the three identities that Lynn had bestowed upon himself, capable of making most potential troubles vanish into thin air.
To uncover these lies would not be easy. For the people of the Wizard's Land, Kora's experiences in the Secas Empire were a complete blank, even though they could comm...
2023-10-28 00:30:45 +0000 UTC View PostTheodore seemed to have an extraordinary desire to perform, and when he saw the interest of Lynn and the others, he began to complain.
In recent years, Lydia had become a well-known figure in the entire port of Iyeta, the small halfling was very enthusiastic about researching some strange and unusual things.
For example, last year, she imitated the spiral propellers on alchemical sh...
2023-10-28 00:30:37 +0000 UTC View Post"I knew it would be like this."
Theodore breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the flying contraption descend from the sky. Then, he quietly muttered, "Master Herlram should not have indulged her so much..."
Lynn gazed at the sky, the massive flying machine swaying in mid-air, heading straight for the square. However, the crowd gathered in the square didn't appear alarmed. Lynn ab...
2023-10-28 00:30:26 +0000 UTC View Post"It must be those halflings up to some new antics again," Theodore sighed, leading the way through the dense crowd.
Lynn quickly realized the esteemed status of wizards. The crowded harbor residents, upon seeing the emblem on Theodore's chest, spontaneously made way for them. They soon found themselves in the front row, witnessing the scene in the square.
On the smooth, paved stone ...

"We may have successfully escaped the Church's pursuit this time, but in doing so, we've disrupted a crucial trade route. When we reach the Iyeta Harbor, we might face some scrutiny. I'll handle the explanations."
Jonny realized the magnitude of their predicament, but seeing Lynn's unwavering compo...
2023-10-28 00:29:56 +0000 UTC View PostEver since they boarded the Wind Sail Warship, Lynn had been pondering in what capacity they should enter the land of the wizards.
As Kora's apprentice? A wizard's apprentice who had practiced magic for less than half a year?
If he were to assume this identity, it was evident that he would run into numerous troubles.
After all, everyone on the Wind Sail Warship had witnessed h...
