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

He has so much to say, so much he feels is right, but all of it seems to contradict each other, so what should he say? Which one is right?

Everything must be going according to plan, right?

The original plan was to let Luo Qixi teach all the knowledge and leave in October of this year.

But I had already overturned this plan myself. But my subsequent thoughts were undoubtedly correct. Without a suitable location and means of movement, practicing Water Saint-level magic might harm Sylphy, Debbie's mother, and the others. Furthermore, was it really a good idea to venture into more advanced areas without even completing the basics? I didn't mind, but did Sylphy and Rudy?

So should I continue to delay until October of this year to begin studying Water Saint magic? This decision is undoubtedly correct and is in line with my point of view six months ago.

But was my idea six months ago really correct?

My idea six months ago was wrong.

The knowledge we have learned in the past six months is too worthless. It is mostly classical and erroneous. If we could have been exposed to magic compression and the control and release of large-scale magic earlier, Rudy and I would have been able to produce more valuable results.

Yes, I was wrong.

My mistake was not giving up... My mistake was misjudging the information gap.

It's time to correct the mistakes.

Gao Wen thought he had sorted out his thoughts and said bluntly:

"Then let's take it one step at a time. The current major courses are too worthless. This is my misjudgment. Please, Mr. Luo Qixi."

What else can we do at this point?

Rudy sighed and used his eyes to stop the little girl with green ponytail who wanted to scold her brother. Teacher Lokixi seemed to think this was a good thing. She probably felt that Gawain was more mature and rational than he was half a year ago.

Teacher Luo Qixi encouraged herself and said with full energy:

"Then let's start teaching Water Saint-level magic tomorrow!"

the next day.

There are three more Water Saint-level magicians in this world.

And they can all release water saint-level magic without chanting.

That night.

After everyone went to bed, Roxy glared at Gawain and Sylphy beside her for half the night, causing Gawain, who had been taking online classes in his mind, to be alert for half the night and almost failed to complete the expected learning task for the first time.

Day three.

After the study of Water Saint Level Magic was completed, the Water Saint Level Magic Theory Course and Water Saint Level Magic Analysis Course began.

Many blind spots that had blocked Gawain and Rudy for a long time finally made a breakthrough after obtaining new advanced knowledge.

It was only then that Luo Qixi realized:

"So they were talking about this topic before. So this is what they were thinking before."

Fortunately, she was already used to being hit.

Note: The contradictory parts are the fierce internal struggle between Gawain’s hazy emotions and rational thinking.

Chapter 47 Weather

(In the Roxy Gaiden, Jinus used Chanting Hawthorn Cumulonimbus to split existing rain clouds, similar to Rudy's direct weather control in this story, both using his own magic to control existing clouds.)

"Water and rock created by magic don't disappear upon completion of the spell. This is common knowledge among magicians. However, large-scale spells that affect the weather require the magician to actively maintain them for a long time. This is clearly a problem with the structure of the spell itself."

In the Water Saint-level magic analysis course, Rudeus was holding the so-called "chalk" he had made with earth magic, writing and drawing on the so-called "blackboard", and making outrageous remarks that were enough to drive the bigwigs in the magic world crazy.

He continued:

"This is because our civilization has too little understanding of various natural sciences. Of course, more importantly, it's due to the upper echelons' blockade of advanced magical knowledge, and the academic community's reverence for traditional magic."

In the past, Rudeus basically never used grand words like "civilization", let alone criticized the "higher-level officials", but his idol Gao Wen always took it for granted to use these words, not to mention showing no respect for the rulers, as if he had no respect for the current civilization at all.

Then he followed suit.

Luo Qixi raised her hand weakly and retorted:

"The problem is, if we can't cast spells without chanting, we can't modify existing spells either."

Teacher Rudius respects students' opinions:

"You're right, but the example you gave us yesterday, Teacher Luo Qixi, has already proved that this is not absolute, at least for magic of the Saint level and above."

"Even the instructors at Lanoa Magic Academy are able to reverse-utilize [Haoru Cumulonimbus]. With that level of spellcasting precision, they can undoubtedly accomplish what I'm describing. That is, they can directly perform large-scale magic during the casting phase, without the need for constant maintenance."

Rudeus walked to the edge of the terrace. After trying chanting spells once in a standard way yesterday, he had been practicing without chanting. This was the first time he tried to achieve [Thunderbolt Cumulonimbus] in a different way while chanting.

Rudeus raised the wand in his hand. This earth-attributed wand could amplify water magic by two times. He chanted:

"O majestic water spirit, Prince of the Thunder Emperor ascending to the sky!"

Wearing the same moon-white raincoat as her brother, Sylphy slightly adjusted her bangs that were messed up by the wind, then opened her hands and silently stretched out a circle of windless field that enveloped the three teachers and students. This was the life magic [Windless Belt] that Sylphy developed last year.

By the way, it was later modified by Gawain into the extremely bio-destructive [Vacuum Field]. This magic can empty most of the air in a large area in a very short time. As long as it is properly controlled, this magic can also be used to safely subdue the enemy. That's why Sylphy was not angry with her brother. As for the various more cruel [Wind Field] magics that Gawain modified, she really couldn't tell Sylphy about it.

"Grant my wish, bring a ferocious boon, and let the dwarf beings witness your power!"

"Strike the anvil with God's hammer, show your awesomeness, and let the flood cover the entire earth!"

"Oh, rain! Wash away everything, drive away everything!"

"'Cumulonimbus'!"

As Rudeus chanted loudly, clouds in the sky quickly formed and gathered, forming thick, black cumulonimbus clouds. A huge amount of hot air rose and cold air pressed down, and countless tiny water droplets condensed and were born. The water content in the clouds reached saturation and supersaturation in a very short time.

——A heavy rainstorm came.

Before the first drop of rain fell, Rudius even had the mind to throw out a wall of wind and walk back to the doldrums without getting hit by a single drop of rain.

He said proudly:

"Look, Teacher Roxy, I succeeded on my first try. We all know the two essential elements of the attack magic system, so it's only natural that we can use these two elements to create a natural phenomenon that is no different from a natural rainstorm. In other words, isn't the original [Thunderbolt Cumulonimbus] just a poor imitation of a natural rainstorm?"

Lokixi felt that sending Rudeus to be a student of Teacher Jinus would be a perfect means of revenge.

Luo Qixi asked curiously:

"So, how on earth did you do it?"

Rudeus certainly couldn't admit that he had spent the entire night racking his brain recalling the contents of a weather documentary he had watched in his previous life. He pretended to be relaxed and explained:

"It's simply mimicking natural phenomena. Water vapor is generated at the right altitude, cooled to the point where it condenses. If necessary, condensation nuclei are also created to rapidly create large clouds. The clouds are then compressed appropriately, condensing into a large number of small water droplets, causing the clouds to become supersaturated with water. Finally, the hot air is blown upwards and the cold air downwards. Through the intense convection of hot and cold air, torrential rain is created."

"Of course, the steps can be omitted or modified depending on the situation. By the way, depending on the temperature of the clouds, hail or heavy snow can also be produced."

Rudius felt that it was not a good idea to just talk like that, so he simply said:

"I'll draw it all on the blackboard, Brother Gao Wen, can you help me disperse the clouds?"

Sylphy interrupted and said:

"Rudy, I'll dispel the rainstorm. Seriously, you know my brother doesn't have that much magic power."

This was the topic that Lokishi hated the most, bar none. She decided to pretend to be dumb while watching Yu Jing for a while. If Gawain, who had grown three times as big as Lokishi, was considered small, then what should she, the standard Lokishi, do?

Gawain touched the head of his sister, who was still maintaining the doldrums, and smiled.

"It's okay. I just want to borrow Rudy's cloud."

Rudeus, who was writing and drawing, said casually:

"Please feel free to use it."

Gawain borrowed his precious staff from teacher Lokisi, put on the hood of his raincoat, and walked into the rain that almost dyed the sky and the earth white.

He casually raised his staff and raised his other hand as if controlling something.

Soon, even those sitting inside realized that something was wrong. The clouds in the distance seemed to be rolling and twisting violently, converging towards the central area. The sky and the earth became even more depressing and dark, almost as if it were early night.

The sound of the clouds wriggling and colliding became more and more obvious, until a huge pale blade split the darkness, bringing a terrible roar.

Luo Qixi was stunned.

Sylphy, who was not afraid of thunder, also became proud. She was a little dissatisfied when Rudy was giving a long speech just now. Now it seems that her brother is indeed more powerful.

Rudeus, who was drawing the clouds, slapped his head:

"How could I have forgotten this?"

He looked at Gawain and was about to ask something.

Gao Wen answered directly:

"I was just about to ask you to try creating a thunderstorm cloud, but it seems unnecessary. The answer is: magic can control lightning."

"Additional branches of offensive magic do exist."

Note: [Vacuum Field] will appear in large numbers later on, but it won't be named. Its primary use is to create a continuous pseudo-vacuum zone along a predetermined flight path, minimizing resistance. Since Water Saints can use their own magic to interfere with distances of dozens of miles, Gawain's magical talent can easily create a channel tens of kilometers long.

Chapter 48 Thunder and Lightning

Everyone has a lot to say about this important topic.

But Gawain just raised his hand:

"Don't worry, I'll try something else."

Afterwards, Gawain lifted his previous disturbance of the clouds and continued to gather the surrounding clouds, allowing them to pile up upwards. Even blue sky began to leak out in the distance.

He began to evenly heat the clouds again, tearing them apart and fluffing them up. Soon, the rain stopped, and only a cloud mountain sat in the distant sky. Even the area where the tower was located was completely clear.

Then, Gawain once again created hot and cold convection currents that were ten times more intense than before, and controlled and distorted these convection currents, causing them to pull and tear apart the tall and thick clouds.

Then, a small tail emerged from the bottom of the clouds and pressed down towards the uninhabited forest below.

Gawain finished casting the spell and commented:

"If there were ready-made clouds to use, a tornado would be easier to create than a rainstorm, but the control would be quite difficult and wouldn't have much practical significance."

Gawain returned the staff to Lokisi, whose jaw was nearly dislocated, and asked Rudeus:

"Rudy, once the tornado is fully formed and its power is confirmed, help me dismantle it. Just use the cold air from the ground. If it gets far away, my magic power may not be able to reach it that far."

Rudeus nodded:

"A small question. Brother Gawain, have you decided on the names of the two spells you just used?"

Rudeus loves giving names too much.

Gao Wen pondered for a moment. At this moment, Luo Qixi slammed the table and sighed:

"Those two spells have names. Although the casting process may not be strictly the same, as Rudy just said, Saint-level and above offensive magic is no longer so strict."

"The first one is called [Thunder Lightning], a Water King-level magic."

"The second one is called [Dragon Wind], a Wind King-level magic."

The little blue teacher melted on the table, her angry face pressed against the stone table, which was as cold as her heart. She glared at Gawain, who looked like "that's it" but was actually just as expressionless as usual.

Luo Qixi, who was leaning against the table, spoke in a deep voice:

"Congratulations, Master Gawain! You are now a king-level magician of both the water and wind elements. There might not even be ten great figures like you in the entire world!"

Gao Wen was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said:

"I'll write down the spellcasting process and precautions in the notebook. You can take turns reading it later."

Lokixi stood up straight.

That’s right, the Water King-level magician Roxy and the Wind King-level magician Roxy.

Rudeus glanced at the cloud reference diagram, which he couldn't draw properly with chalk, and sat back down, no longer playing the teacher's game. He announced:

"Then I'll write it down on paper."

Then everyone started complaining that this should have been done earlier, and that the words written by Rudius with chalk were completely incomprehensible, which greatly shocked Teacher Ruddy.

While the two masters were writing furiously, the girls' group was not idle either. After watching the previous demonstration, they also felt itchy and walked to the railing to try practicing.
