All-around teacher at the magic academy

At night, Leon continued to fulfill his role as the Night Watcher, patrolling his assigned area.

Recalling his first night shift, Leon couldn't help but feel extremely worried about his safety. The criminal still hadn't been found, and no one knew where he was hiding.

Despite Leon's constant reminders not to cause unnecessary trouble, he ultimately made a mortal enemy.

It would be terrible if the other party left the city; you can't hope that they won't cause you trouble.

Even though I was stronger than my opponent, who could be sure if they had backup? I can only blame myself for not thinking things through carefully enough. Seeing a colleague brutally murdered on my first night shift, I couldn't help but attack when I encountered my opponent.

It's one thing to make a move, but the crucial issue is that I failed and didn't capture the other person on the spot. As a result, the other person escaped and is now hiding in the shadows, possibly having left Barton City, or perhaps not.

Perhaps he's watching him from the shadows. However, Leon thinks the other party is most likely still in Barton City, and he'll probably find another opportunity to strike. It's just that law enforcement has been investigating closely these past two days, making it difficult for the other party to make a move.

It's a pity we don't know why this person would attack law enforcement officers; was it a hired murder or some kind of grudge? Judging from the decisiveness of their actions, they are a ruthless person.

Leon believed that if given the chance, he would not hesitate to seek revenge, because Leon himself was that kind of person.

We absolutely cannot let this go unchecked; it's extremely dangerous for us. If we were to be injured one day, or unintentionally attacked, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The best solution right now is to find and eliminate the other party as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. You can't possibly worry about being retaliated against every day; that would be too exhausting.

"Sigh, I guess I still can't just interfere."

Leon didn't actually regret his actions; he just regretted not killing his opponent, which led to his current predicament.

"I haven't fought enough battles, so I lack experience, which has led to my oversights. If I could accumulate more experience, that would be great. But then again, to accumulate more experience, I would have to deal with a lot of troublesome battles, which goes against my original intention and puts me in a vicious cycle."

Leon felt caught in a dilemma, unable to think of a good solution for the moment.

"Let's ask the captain if he has any news about the other party. After all, it involves us. If there is an opportunity, we must seize it and not let the other party escape again."

With that in mind, he decided to go and talk to Captain Max after the evening.

Time flies, and the night watch passed in the blink of an eye. While having a late-night snack, Leon specifically asked the captain about the matter.

Unfortunately, he didn't get any information about the other party after that. He hadn't had high expectations anyway, since finding a magician who wanted to hide in this huge city was extremely difficult.

"By the way, there's a breaking news story that needs to be investigated tomorrow. Are you interested? A countess died in bed without any apparent reason. We just received the news tonight. Since it involves the honor of a count, it must be taken very seriously by law enforcement."

However, based on preliminary assessment, it shouldn't be a magical event, because just now I looked through some related information, and this countess doesn't seem to lead a very proper life.

The person who reported the incident was her lover. I suspect she died suddenly while having sex with her lover.

But just in case, law enforcement will still need to go. You can come along if you're interested.

Leon had no interest in this matter and had decided to get involved in fewer special events in the future. Although this event didn't seem to have any magical elements, he decided to let it go just in case.

These days, I'm already doing pretty well with the 2 rubles I get paid for patrolling at night. But then again, staying up until midnight every day isn't good for my body. I'll see if I can ask the captain to switch me to daytime duty, or maybe I should just leave after I've finished dealing with this.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I have something to do tomorrow and I probably won't be able to participate."

Leon lied; he had nothing to do tomorrow. Leon knew the captain intentionally wanted him to participate in more incidents to make a good impression on everyone. If he wanted to officially join the law enforcement, this experience could lead to a quick promotion.

Unfortunately, Leon has decided to minimize his contact with law enforcement in the future. He can't keep putting his life in danger.

"OK then."

Captain Max didn't say anything more. Leon felt quite sorry for the captain; he didn't like accepting kindness from others for no reason, and he never considered himself someone worth having any expectations of.

The next day, Leon sat in the teachers' office at St. Peter's College working on lesson plans.

Every teacher at St. Peter's College has their own private office. It must be said that St. Peter's College does an impeccable job when it comes to teacher benefits.

Dong dong dong

"Please come in"

Leon was puzzled when he heard the knock on the door, wondering who would come to see him, as he shouldn't have that many people he knew. He was quite surprised when he saw who it was, after all, a student he had just taught who had performed well in his class.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Professor Leon." The blonde girl apologized as soon as she entered the room.

"It's okay, what's wrong, Emma?"

Looking at this aristocratic student, Leon felt as if he had seen the name somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

"Um, teacher, there are some things about magic that I don't understand, and I'd like to ask you for guidance."

Emma asked cautiously, afraid that Leon would be unhappy, because the question she was asking was about knowledge that Leon had covered in class, and there were parts of it that she didn't quite understand.

Of course, this wasn't because she wasn't paying attention in class; on the contrary, she listened very attentively. However, because she still didn't quite understand, she felt a little embarrassed.

"If I can help you, I will do so without hesitation." Leon didn't see any problem with it; he would do his best to help if he could. He wanted to cultivate some good relationships, so that he might need their help in the future.

"Thank you, Professor Leon."

"That's right. After listening to your lesson, I practiced on my way home. But I encountered a problem along the way."

"Didn't you say before that the three necessary conditions for casting fire magic are a suitable environment, magical elements that can be ignited, and the ability to control their high-speed movement? But when I went back, I couldn't do it. First of all, I don't quite understand what you mean by magical elements."

"Ah, about this question, you can simply call it magic, which is essential for us to cast spells."

Even constructing a magic circle requires magical energy. We usually use magical energy to conduct energy when constructing a magic circle.

You might find it abstract because it's difficult to see with the naked eye, but it truly exists. It exists within each of our bodies; you need to quiet your mind and feel the flow of this magic. Perhaps you can try feeling it here, and I'll check if you have any problems.

"Okay, teacher."

Emma immediately calmed herself down and began to feel the magic within her body. This was actually quite simple, since she could also use magic. Since she could cast magic, she could control the flow of magic power; she just hadn't paid close attention to it before.

To make it easier for her to feel this magical element, Leon deliberately used his own magic to guide her.

"How about it?"

"Teacher, I think I can feel it now."

"Now try to control their rapid movements, starting with simple movements, to generate energy."

"You can open your eyes now."

Emma opened her eyes and saw a ball of yellowish-brown flame in her hand, her face showing excitement.

"Teacher, this is just the most basic flame. If I wish to unleash more powerful magic, what should I do?"

"You can start with the basics, such as fire elemental magic. What do you think determines the strength of fire elemental magic?"

"The temperature of the flame, the range of the magic." After a brief moment of thought, Emma came to her conclusion.

"That's right, of course there's also speed, flame concentration, and so on."

"Let's start with temperature. Now that we know we can generate temperature through the movement of magical elements, can we control them to move at high or ultra-high speeds to make them even hotter? You can try it."

Hearing Leon's reminder, Emma immediately gave it a try, attempting to move magical elements rapidly within a limited space. This wasn't easy for her, given that she had only just begun practicing. However, as she controlled the magical elements to move and collide quickly, she clearly noticed that the originally orange flames gradually turned redder.

“Very good. The flame in your hand is now around 1000 degrees Celsius, and you can see a very obvious change in its appearance.”

After gradually turning red, the flame's color remained largely unchanged. She had done her best; at least for Emma, ​​reaching 1000 degrees was already quite good.

"Teacher, what's the highest level that can be achieved?"

"I don't know, but for me, I can only reach over 5000 degrees, not more than 10,000 degrees."

As he spoke, Leon demonstrated, raising his index finger and a small flame dancing on his fingertip.

It starts as orange, gradually turns red, then when the red reaches a certain level it begins to turn light blue, then blue, cyan, and finally purple and stops changing.

Watching the flames in his hand change, Leon recalled the question he had pondered when he first unleashed the flames: Why doesn't the high temperature harm him?

Later, through his own research, Leon discovered that everyone's magic has a high affinity with him. This means that it won't harm him, because it has already been assimilated into his body.

Leon had even wondered if he could use this assimilative power to assimilate other people's magic, so that they wouldn't be able to harm him. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it, so he gave up on this research. Now he thinks maybe he can try again.

"No, it still can't reach 10,000 degrees. If it could reach 10,000 degrees, the flame would become colorless and transparent."

Leon sighed inwardly. He had already controlled his magic to its maximum speed and couldn't accelerate any further. Any faster and he would lose control, easily causing magical turbulence.

"Teacher is so amazing, I can only make red," Emma said admiringly.

“With your practice and familiarity with magic, I believe you will be able to do it too,” Leon encouraged Emma.

"Teacher, what happens if we increase the concentration?"

"It can increase the temperature to some extent, and also increase the intensity of the flames. If your flames are not strong enough, the magic you release will quickly dissipate into the air because your magical elements will be burned up quickly."

"I see. I think I understand now."

"That's good."

"Thank you so much for your help. I've learned so much, Professor Leon. You're really amazing." Emma looked at Leon with admiration, making Leon a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Then, I'll head back now and won't disturb Professor Leon's work any longer."

"Ok."

......

After seeing Emma off, Leon decided to take a break, read the newspaper, and then deal with his work.

Suddenly, he remembered why Emma's name sounded familiar: Emma Chloe. Chloe was the surname of a duke in Barton. Leon had once read in the newspaper that a duke in Barton had enacted a law in response to the royal family's call.

"I hope I didn't do anything inappropriate."

He carefully recalled his time with Emma.

"Hmm, it shouldn't leave a bad impression."

Leon felt relieved, thinking that no one would cause trouble for no reason. He just didn't expect it to be someone from the Duke's family. He had really run into a big shot.
