Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

Teacher Luo Qixi didn't think too much about it. She immediately plagiarized the idea and announced:

"That's it, time limit is ten minutes!"

The time was up and the three pieces of paper were collected.

After completing my current course, I plan to pursue further studies at the Lanoa School of Magic. After graduation, I'll continue to push the boundaries of my magical research abilities, hoping to be able to help Gawain in this area. Furthermore, I want to maintain a good relationship with my family, be a good son, marry a beautiful and virtuous wife, and become a good husband and father, leading a fulfilling, satisfying, and happy life.

[I want to follow in my brother's footsteps and become someone as amazing as Mr. Roxy.]

[The plan is proceeding smoothly.]

"Gawain, the content of the [plan] you're talking about is what should be written down."

"It's too long to write down."

"Then let's make a long story short."

"Maintain the status quo, become stronger, and then fight to the death with the God of Skill, the God of Dragon, and the God of Fighting until you defeat them and become even stronger."

It turns out that there are times when Gawain is embarrassed to tell the truth.

That’s what Luo Qixi thought at the time.

Chapter 30 Research and Development (Seeking Tickets)

July.

After the fall, the weather finally began to slowly turn cooler.

This year's summer in Fitoya Territory was exceptionally hot, with even two months of cloudless weather, bringing about a severe drought rarely seen in decades.

Fortunately, there are four great magicians in Buena Village.

By the way, this year's drought has nothing to do with Gawain. He even thought about creating dark clouds. After all, without clouds to block his view, it would be inconvenient for him to practice flying and he would easily be noticed by those discerning guys in this world.

Gawain, troubled for a long time, had recently suggested starting research on flight magic, using this as a pretext. In reality, even simply being able to hover at high altitudes with a reasonable mana consumption would already hold strategic significance for the magicians of this world. After all, the swordsmen, the magicians' natural enemies, simply couldn't reach the sky.

And the previous achievement of [Magic Creation and Research Class].

Or rather, the previous series of achievements.

This is the reason why the four masters and apprentices did not mind walking to the open-air classroom to study in the hot summer:

"I feel like the recent temperatures mean I can no longer use the [Cold Air Conditioning Technique]! Hope winter comes soon, then I can enjoy the [Hot Air Conditioning Technique]!"

On the way to school, Rudeus was acting crazy again.

Honestly, no one really understood why this thing was called Air Conditioning. Even if it was said to be an abbreviation for [Magic of Air Temperature Regulation], it shouldn't be simplified like that, right? But considering that Rudeus was the creator of the spell, they could only let it be.

Teacher Luo Qixi refused:

"Please hold on a little longer."

Because the magic power is a hundred times... no, more than three hundred times, it's quite a lot, so he is basically responsible for maintaining a comfortable temperature around everyone.

Rudeus revealed his lackey nature and humbly agreed:

"Yes, no problem. After all, Ms. Luo Qixi also wears a wizard robe in the summer! I really hope that after I graduate, I will be able to dress so professionally every day."

Sylphy immediately interrupted with her eyes shining:

"Rudy can say something decent sometimes! He really looks cool with his magic wand and robes!"

Recently, Sylphy and Rudeus have finally become good friends, even though Sylphy always insists on having Rudeus call her sister, while Rudeus insists that Sylphy is his sister.

Gao Wen, who is a tight-fitting suit fan, doesn't quite understand this bloated aesthetic. His thinking is more rational:

"Magicians are accustomed to wearing robes for three main functional purposes. First, they're durable and abrasion-resistant, providing excellent protection. Second, they protect against arrows and thorns. Magician robes are typically made of warcraft hides, which offer considerable protection against sharp objects like arrows and hidden weapons. Third, they provide warmth and sun protection. After all, pure mages have very fragile bodies. So, if practicality is the only consideration, there's no need for you to wear robes."

The blue teacher would not admit that she had basically only considered the issue of durability. A qualified wizard robe would take several years to wear out at the edges. With the protection of the wizard robe, the clothes inside would also be very durable. It is the best choice for poor people.

Rudeus also agreed:

"Indeed, wearing a magic robe will make you mistaken for a magician, and you'll easily be treated as a pushover. It's safer to dress like a formidable swordsman when going out. Anyway, we have three types of [Air Conditioning Techniques] to protect us from the cold and heat, and we also have [Protection from Arrows] to protect us from projectiles."

Gao Wen was somewhat unwilling:

"The Arrow Protection is still too impractical, but I really can't think of a better defensive magic idea. Perhaps simplifying and instantly casting barrier magic would be a better direction. Unfortunately, this knowledge is also monopolized."

He has been thinking about demolishing the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis in ten or fifteen years. If he is dissatisfied, he can resurrect Saint Milis to fight with me.

To put it simply, [Arrow Protection] is essentially a near-instantaneous hurricane belt surrounding the caster, capable of deflecting and neutralizing most conventional lightweight projectiles, including some magic spells with limited mass and low speed. If [Arrow Protection] is used multiple times in a measured and appropriate manner, it can even deflect the full-strength slash of an intermediate swordsman.

But its practical significance is still limited.

Gao Wen's evaluation is: If you can't even deal with someone like Paul, then you are no better than Paul.

Compared with traditional solutions such as shock waves, it excels in terms of defense without blind spots.

As for the [Air Conditioning Technique], it is actually derived from the [Protection from Arrows] developed by Gawain and named by Rudeus. In Rudeus' words, it is a civilian version.

However, the [Air Conditioning Technique] transformed from [Protection Against Arrows] was only the first version. Rudeus originally wanted to name it [Electric Fan Technique], but was criticized by everyone. In short, if it is mixed with ice magic, it becomes the [Air Conditioning Technique] for summer, and mixed with fire magic, it is for winter.

Although it's a bit naughty.

But Gao Wen felt that the results of this study were very valuable. He became more and more determined that perhaps [temperature], that is, [changing the average kinetic energy of free particles in the area], should be an independent system.

Then, if we limit ourselves to the attack magic system, the four major categories of magic, earth, fire, water, and wind, should be corrected into two categories, namely:

1. Convert magic power into matter.

2. Use magic to change the average kinetic energy of free particles in the area.

However, in order to achieve results that are more valuable to creatures with backward civilizations, the civilization of this world mixed the two methods of implementation and became what it is today.

As for the four major categories, they are probably just to cater to the original four-element creation concept of this world civilization.

If Gawain wasn't a cynic like Rudeus, he would have probably complained like this:

"I used water magic to create liquid air, and you said liquid is water, so it's water magic. I accept that. But I used fire magic to create magma, and you said magma is also liquid, so it's water magic. Why are you unhappy?"

In short.

Starting today, everyone will begin to study flying.

Whether it was Sylphy, Rudeus, or even Teacher Roxy, everyone's excitement about this goal far exceeded Gawain's expectations.

He originally thought that he would need to find a lot of reasons and angles to convince everyone to join such a dangerous and unlikely to produce results project.

Finally, he opened his mouth.

It passed with a full vote.

If it were Teacher Luo Qixi, she would probably be secretly happy, thinking that she is extremely respected and popular.

Anyway, the three of them were very excited and thrilled at the time. Rudius kept muttering, "I almost forgot. I should have remembered it earlier. This is it. It's so right, so right." Teacher Roxy also looked like, "It's outrageous, but you should be able to do it, and then take me to enjoy it."

Someone underestimated the ground race's fantasy of flying.

But again, Gao Wen is not optimistic about this topic.

Analyzing based on his newly summarized essence of attack magic, the only thing that can support the goal of flight is [manufacturing matter]. In other words, the flying magic transformed from the attack magic system can only be a [working fluid rocket] similar to the original spacecraft, which creates propulsion through the conservation of momentum.

In this case, a large amount of computing power and perception are required to adjust the flight posture, which is completely impossible for the intelligent species that Gao Wen has known in this world.

But floating in the air shouldn't be difficult, right?

It took a month and a half to complete the first edition.

Chapter 31: Flying

It was a pleasant, cloudy day in August, with clear autumn air.

You read that right, it’s cloudy.

In order to avoid weather anomalies being too obvious, after the summer, Gao Wen also decided to allow a few rains in the nearby areas.

Well, it certainly wasn't because I heard Sylphy complaining about the sun still being scorching hot even after autumn.

During the first autumn rain, he was worried that classes would be suspended. To his surprise, no one mentioned this. Instead, they used magic to avoid the rain and arrived at the open-air classroom on time as a matter of course. This immediately put someone at ease.

By the way, he also wore for the first time the moon-white waterproof cloak that Miss Lilia gave him as a birthday gift, which Sylphy said was very handsome.

Gao Wen doesn't plan to influence the weather any more.

And today, right now, he was floating in the air in front of everyone, with his arms folded like a Vitrum warrior, his eyes closed, feeling something.

After he landed, everyone gathered around him.

"Southeast, light winds, all the way to the altitude I reached. Safety level: high, flight practice is possible."

Gao Wen blurred the precise conditions he perceived into words that made everyone cheer. He couldn't just say that the wind speed from 0 to 200m was between 0 and 1.24ms.

Everyone has been very keen on practicing flying recently. As long as the situation is suitable, non-compulsory courses will be postponed and replaced with flying lessons. Lunch breaks are basically used for flying. Even on the way to and from school, Rudeus and Sylphy are always trying to fly at low altitude.

Gao Wen had no objection to this.

After all, when Sylphy floats, she looks like a well-behaved baby bird or a petite fairy. Occasionally, when she encounters a slightly stronger wind or makes a mistake in her lateral flight, she will panic and flap her hands foolishly, which is very cute.

By the way, since Gawain habitually holds his arms, shoulders outward, back straight, feet together, and toes slightly pressed down when he is floating, Rudeus also follows suit. He seems to think that this is very handsome and very strong.

When he imitated this for the first time, Rudeus said in a very arrogant tone to everyone who was watching him practice on the ground and ready to rescue him at any time:

"I am the only hero in the world who can truly be called a king. The rest are just bastards."

The next second, the Hero King was knocked down by Gawain who was flying at high speed. He was not caught steadily until he was ten meters above the ground. Rudeus was so scared that he thought he was going to start over again.

Of course, the result was that they were both lectured by teachers Roxy and Sylphy for a long time.

The next day, Gao Wen, who had proved his flying ability, naturally took on the position of instructor again and served as the flight class safety officer.

But our poor little teacher is still an outsider.

Pathetic free range chicken.

Of course, she was no longer as discouraged as she was at the beginning. The reason was not only because the development and summary of the shortened chanting technique were already on the right track, but also because with the help of Gawain's [Pseudo Magic Eye] and unspeakable alien knowledge, Teacher Luo Qixi, who listened to her students' lectures every day, had successfully completed the first non-chanting elementary water magic a few days ago.

This is not a dirty joke.

After all, someone's dysfunction seems to have not yet healed.

Lately, whenever she has free time, Teacher Luo Qixi would take out her notebook and record things frantically. As she explained, "The feeling of the first time was very special, important, and valuable for reference." "As the first magician who has grown to almost the limit of his talent and can learn the technique without chanting, I have an obligation to record my experience."

Teacher Gao Wen admires Luo Qixi for showing such a sense of responsibility.

She is clearly a marginal figure who is nothing in the civilizations of the [Human World]. She is discriminated against by most of the world, and even the demon world has never been kind to her. Yet, such a person can be so optimistic and take on heavy responsibilities that are not her obligation.

By the way, there is no need to carry it on your shoulders because Gao Wen feels that it would be difficult for Teacher Luo Qixi to carry a bag on her small shoulders.

Therefore, Gao Wen also helped during this process.

Well, should I say she's arrogant, or should I say she has a strong sense of worthiness? She can do it, so it's only natural that she should shoulder the responsibility.

Perhaps we shouldn't use derogatory words. After all, Teacher Luo Qixi takes on obligations but refuses to enjoy her rights. She is not humble at all. She is probably more like a fool or a sucker.

Gao Wen felt that in terms of sense of worthiness, Rudeus could learn something from Teacher Lokishi. Of course, he just had to avoid becoming a fool like Teacher Lokishi who only worked and didn't enjoy himself.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, do you want to try it today?"

After escorting Giri's brothers and sisters through their flying practice, Gawain landed beside Teacher Roxy, who was busy writing, and asked the usual questions.

Yes, Teacher Luo Qixi, who was aware that she could not fall too far behind her students, felt that she could at least get familiar with the feeling of flying and reduce her fear of heights. In this way, even if she could not master flying in the end, she would at least have the ability to calmly deal with accidents such as falling from a high altitude.

Teacher Luo Qixi came back to her senses, put away her pen and notebook, and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Gawain."

Gawain nodded, walked behind Teacher Luo Qixi, and as usual, put one arm around her slender waist and the other hand under her armpit. After fixing his posture, he slowly rose into the air.

Although the wider scenery that gradually jumped into her eyes was something she had seen too many times recently, Luo Qixi was still shocked by this wonderful experience. She looked around as usual, as excited as a country child who came to the city for the first time, but she did not forget to try her best not to look at the familiar face next to her.

Although Gao Wen was still a child who was almost a head shorter than her, his current posture made him look taller. Coupled with the overly close distance, the little teacher always subconsciously thought of some bad things in her head.

"almost."

Huh? Wait... almost what?

The familiar cold boy's voice sounded very close to the ear, almost making the ear canal numb. Even so, Luo Qixi, who was still immersed in flying, was not completely awakened. She turned her head to look at the boy behind her in a daze, slightly raised her head to try to look at the boy, and moved her lips slightly as if she wanted to ask something.

Then, her gaze met that pair of deep, icy blue eyes. Upon closer inspection, she saw thick, jet-black eyelashes, and childish cheeks that showed the sculpting of a future. The fine black hair that had grown longer over the past few months was slightly curled, making it look like a priceless marble sculpture unearthed from some labyrinthine ruins. And yet, this person actually nodded to her.

Is this some kind of opera unfolding?

next moment.
