When he found me waiting at the entrance of the research building, Professor Rumbold rushed over as if he was throwing away the textbooks used in class.
"No, no, even if you don't panic, you won't run away."
"Hey, Hua Wuming. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I'm meeting with Mr. Mendes at the martial arts training hall."
"I see, I also want to see if you tried to use the magic circle I provided that day?"
"Yes, I have used both the temperature control magic array and the lightning magic array."
"Oh, have you tried using the lightning magic circle too? How was it? No, let's just stand and talk. Let's go to my room."
I was directed to Professor Lembert's room, which was as messy as ever and difficult to find anywhere to step on. I went in.
Sitting on the sofa that seemed to be buried in the laundry room, Professor Lundborg danced with excitement when I told him about the practical results of temperature control and the lightning magic circle.
"I see, Hua Wuming can make a hollow magic array, so you connected the temperature control magic array and the water magic array to turn it into a hot water magic array, right?"
"Yes, you can adjust the temperature of hot water by adjusting the size, thickness, compression rate, etc. of the temperature-adjusting magic array. From hot water for bathing to hot water for making tea, you can do whatever you want."
"Great! No, I didn't expect that natural magic has so many uses. This is a great discovery that can overturn the world."
"I don't want to draw too much attention, so I would appreciate it if you could remain anonymous when announcing your findings."
"Is that so? If you were Hua Wuming now, I think you would receive a call from the Kingdom Knight."
Of course, if he knew the convenience of natural magic, he might be scouted by the knights, and if he accepted the departure ceremony, he would accept the invitation without hesitation.
I have a desire to catch up with Horacio who is working hard in the capital, but more importantly, I prefer the path of an adventurer who has just started to walk.
"I prefer the carefree life of an adventurer to the rigid life of a noble."
"I see, so I will try my best to hide Hua Wuming's name, but I think people will eventually know it."
"I'll think about it when the time comes, so I'd be grateful if you could remain anonymous, Professor Rembolt."
"I understand. By the way, this is the lightning magic circle. Can you demonstrate it?"
"Yes, but thunder that is so strong that it can be seen by the naked eye is dangerous."
"Is that so? Can you make something that doesn't kill rats?"
"Uh, that's impossible."
"I want to experience it myself."
As this lab showed, Professor Lemboldt seemed like a research geek, so I decided to give him a try on a weaker person since I didn't think he would be convinced.
"Well, I'll do it around here, so please reach out and touch it."
"Is that so? No! This is thunder."
The thunder magic circle I created was as strong as winter static electricity, so when Mr. Rumbold touched it, it only made a faint crackling sound.
There are no synthetic resin items such as plastic in this world, so there are not many opportunities to feel static electricity.
Mr. Rumbold seemed to check the feel by opening and closing his palms.
"Hua Wuming, can you be stronger?"
"I can, but it will be dangerous if you are too strong."
"The rats either fainted or their hearts stopped and they died."
"Yeah, I think the commands are blocked from the head to every part of the body."
In a previous life in China, people knew that the brain transmits signals through weak currents, but this is unknown knowledge in this world.
"I understand, so please don't let the rat faint."
"I understand. Then, it's the same as before."
"It's around here!"
There was a snap, louder than before, and Professor Rumbold waved his open hand to distract himself from the pain.
"No, no, I understand. If this gets stronger, I know the rat will faint or die. Hua Wuming, I don't know if I can get stronger."
"Good, but are you okay?"
"I don't care, just do it foo!"
After a loud noise, Professor Rumbold pressed his right elbow, his face distorted.
"It can indeed be used as a reference to see how far I can endure it, but I don't want to become a guinea pig myself."
"Hua Wuming, wait a moment."
"No, no, no, it's better to stop."
"No, it's just one more step. It's really rare to be able to taste the impact of thunder on the human body."
I know Professor Lemboldt is a real research nerd, but he seems a little perverted right now.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Ah, please ask you one more time, Uji!"
Although Teacher Lundborg screamed, his face showed a somewhat ecstatic expression.
"Yeah, this guy is really a pervert, be careful."
I scolded Professor Rembolt, who was pestering me again, and asked him to teach me a new magic square.
"Unfortunately, let's save the thunder magic circle for next time. So which magic circle should we choose today?"
"I want a weight loss cube."
"For the petite Hua Wuming, this is a perfect magic circle."
“I think it’s a magic circle that can reduce the weight of things, but I’ve never seen it before.
"Yes, this magic circle requires a lot of magic power."
Of course the thing you want to reduce the weight of is heavy, but the heavier the thing the magic circle acts on, the more magic power you need to consume to feel the effect.
On the contrary, if it is a light item, you can feel the effect with less magic power, but if it is a light item, you do not need to use magic power to reduce the weight, so in this way, the magic circle is useless. It seems that it is so.
"If it's Hua Wuming, he can activate the magic circle without using his own magic power and magic stones. Maybe he can come up with new ways to use it."
"Yes but you won't know unless you try."
I thought I could move the heavy stuff easily, but if it consumes a lot of mana, I think it would be more efficient to use a cart like before.
“I wanted to teach it myself, but maybe it was a little wrong.”
"How's it going, Hua Wuming? Do you still remember something?"
"Are you okay?"
"I don't mind. For me, it would be more helpful if Hua Wuming develops new methods of use."
"Is that so? Then, please tell me something that is not common so far."
"That's not common. How about this smash?"
It is said that the Broken Magic Circle is used in mining sites and is used by carving or painting on the surface of hard bedrock.
"Why is the broken magic circle no longer used?"
"This is not very humane. It literally means smashing the activated place, but can you imagine? In order to activate the magic circle, someone has to be close to where the bedrock is." Destroyed. "
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"This is very dangerous. So it is very common now to use fire magic to heat it, and then use water magic to quickly cool it and destroy it. Hua Wuming, please be careful not to get hurt when you try it."
"Okay. I'll conduct the experiment very carefully."
I thanked Professor Lembert, promised to visit him again, and left the research building.
Weight loss and crushing may seem like ordinary magic circles, but the same goes for the thunder and lightning magic circles.
The lightning magic circle, which was of little use before, has now reached the stage where it can be used as a weapon.
"Maybe I should be able to use the broken magic circle as a weapon."
After shopping, I walked back to the base while first memorizing the magic circle for weight loss.
I tried freezing the air following the diagram Professor Lemboldt taught me, but it didn't warm me up and no water came out, so I couldn't feel the effect at all.
I thought it might be something to hold, but the backpack I was wearing didn't have anything heavy in it, so it didn't look like it would be useful for the experiment.
"That's what's going to break you down. Is it okay if I become that weight?"
With the base soon to be seen, I decided to create a magic weight loss circle that would stick to my belly the moment I jumped over the fence.
"Since you said it consumes a lot of magic power, I will slightly increase the compression rate. It will be fun!"
When I pounced forward, I activated the magic circle. My body rose like a rocket, and I could see the roof of the base from a distance.
"Meow, meow, meow! Phew!"
If I had used heaven-attribute magic to establish a foothold, I wouldn't have had to worry about falling down, but the unexpected development made me panic.
"Wow, thirty meters is not right, there are more? Let's go down first."
I built scaffolding with steps and jumped down bit by bit, but the height difference from the attic window was so big that it was scary.
"If I use physical enhancement when I jump, how high can I jump?"
"I feel the effect, but I don't know if it requires a lot of practice before I can use it in actual combat."
When I put my feet on top of the base, I actually breathed a sigh of relief.
I've climbed to similar heights myself, but jumping up unexpectedly is not good for my heart.
I think it's better to be more cautious when conducting experiments on shattering magic circles.
