Chapter 1 Zero-Ring Magic Trick, Academic Superstar System?
"Time is running out; the church's witch hunt team has already discovered our trail."
"We'll meet in Maple Leaf Town before Sunday, please be careful."
"From your teacher and friend: Ryan Gray."
……
Li Ang felt as if his brain had fallen into a washing machine, being tumbled back and forth endlessly.
Various memories surfaced in my mind.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary sophomore in college. He didn't have any great luck; he just fell asleep normally and ended up in the body of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy named Leon Aldrin.
Despite the discomfort, Li Ang slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is a room of less than 20 square meters.
The walls were made of rough wooden planks, many of which were warped and looked dilapidated.
A bed, a table and chairs, and the light source comes from a window that is fifty centimeters long and wide.
Many miscellaneous items were piled up haphazardly on the ground.
"Am I... transported?"
"No...it's more like a reincarnation awakening innate wisdom."
After a while, memories from the past ten years naturally surfaced in Li Ang's mind.
The Middle Ages, the Papacy, wizards...
As the thought of wizards came to mind, a scene suddenly flashed before Li Ang's eyes.
A cross stands in the center of the stone church square.
The woman was chained to a rack, and smoke began to rise from the edge of her black robe.
The pyre burst into flames, which shot up to a height of one person and completely enveloped the woman.
The crowd surrounded the fire, staring at the woman in the flames, shouting insults.
The cruel scene sent a chill down Li Ang's spine.
After spending another ten minutes organizing his memories, Li Ang gained a deeper understanding of his current situation.
This is a medieval European world called Ioria.
Above the monarchies of various countries, there exists a divine authority similar to that of the Roman Catholic Church.
Priests and priests practiced divine arts and spread their doctrines while also hunting down sorcerers everywhere.
Leon is the third illegitimate son of Earl Aldrin—he has recently been studying magic under the wizard Ryan and is now wanted by the church.
"A bad start."
"It's not impossible to turn the tide; let's see what the magic can do."
As an apprentice who had only studied under the wizard Ryan for two months, Li Ang's knowledge was very limited.
The spells they mastered were all level 0 spells: [Hand of the Mage], [Suggestion], [Dancing Light], and [Ignite].
The first three are all auxiliary spells, which he can cast directly if he has enough mana.
The last offensive spell requires not only magic power but also corresponding materials to be cast.
"Mental talent, spellcasting materials—each one is a mountain..."
Li Ang shook his head and sighed, then quickly rallied, "Move it all away!"
As I was thinking this, a strange feeling welled up inside me.
A grayish-white, semi-transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
The bizarre scene made Li Ang's eyes widen involuntarily, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
Has his luck finally turned around this time? He's always been unlucky and has never won the lottery.
The system is here?!
Name: Li Ang
Mathematics: Level 1 (110/200)
Physics: Level 0 (68/100)
Chemistry: Level 0 (52/100)
[Biology: Level 0 (50/100)]
Informatics: Level 0 (49/100)
【Intelligence: 1.0】
Physical Strength: 0.5
[Learning Coins: 100]
Li Ang had read many novels in his previous life and was no stranger to the existence of systems.
But his system seems to have a lot of problems.
To be honest, this is the magical world of Ioria, so even if the system is a bit off, there should still be a wizard class option.
result?
The experience bar on the panel is entirely dedicated to learning-related content.
Even the medieval-style "gold coins" and "magic coins" have been replaced with "learning coins".
He studies math and science in the magical world, so he's fearless wherever he goes.
Li Ang sighed inwardly, 'A subpar system like this really does a lot of harm.'
Of course, Li Ang wasn't the type to hesitate or look back. Since the system wasn't working, he would just focus on practicing magic.
After closing his eyes and meditating for a few seconds, Li Ang sensed an incredibly magical world.
Endless magical elements, shimmering with light, surged before my eyes, like brilliant stars.
These magical elements were unusually active, constantly changing their positions in the air.
The magnificent scene stunned Li Ang for two seconds before he refocused his attention on the magic.
As he whispered the difficult incantation, Li Ang clearly felt the surrounding magical elements coalescing under the guidance of his mental power and the manipulation of his own magic.
then.
A transparent magical hand appeared before them.
As Li Ang manipulated it, [Mage's Hand] picked up a bronze coin from the table and gently put it down.
Li Ang tried to interact more with the surrounding environment using the [Mage's Hand], and the whole process lasted about 1 minute before the transparent magic hand finally dissipated.
With his hands clasped together, Li Ang leaned against the table, pondering: 'The [Mage's Hand] can manipulate an object weighing approximately 5 pounds for one minute, but it has almost no offensive capability.'
"As expected, just an apprentice with zero-level magic tricks."
"It took me a full five seconds to release it; of course, with more practice, it could be done even faster."
"The advantage is that it doesn't require any spellcasting materials and consumes very little of my own mana. With my current mana, I can cast it about five times a day."
"However, these magical elements in the air seem somewhat familiar..."
"This is... molecules undergoing Brownian motion!"
Li Ang's pupils suddenly widened.
Aside from being a bit more active, the magical elements and molecules here in Ioria are not much different.
So it seems...
The "Hand of the Mage" is a localized exchange of momentum that ultimately creates a force field that influences things!
What does this correspond to in physics?
Li Ang majored in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics as an undergraduate. He only took university physics as a general education course in his first year, and his grades were barely passable.
I should have studied harder back then.
Who knew that the "Hand of the Mages" in the continent of Ioria was studying particle motion!
So...
What scientific principles do the techniques of [Suggestion], [Light Dance], or [Firework] correspond to?
Li Ang made many connections.
What amazing reaction would occur if he could combine the knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology he learned in his previous life with magic?
The academic genius system might come in handy!
With that thought in mind, Li Ang reached into the cloth bag at his waist, which contained not only a dozen or so Frank Kingdom copper coins, but also a packet of red powder.
【Earthfire Stone】Powder – A casting material for the 0-ring spell 【Fireball】.
Although Li Ang wanted to test the power of offensive magic and whether it was related to the chemical experiment he suspected, reason told him that the materials for casting spells were hard to come by, and it was better to use the best resources where they mattered most.
"Let's try the Light Dance spell first."
Just as Li Ang was preparing to try out the new spell, a sudden change occurred.
"Here it is!"
With a shout, several scattered footsteps quickly approached.
Li Ang's expression suddenly changed.
Unsurprisingly, the Vatican's witch hunt team arrived, their intentions clearly hostile.
Faced with a fully armed witch hunter team, and perhaps even a priest wielding divine magic, Li Ang knew he was absolutely no match for them.
He had only one thought.
"run!"
