Chapter 20.2
Aivis writes the fusion time on the blackboard.
"It's true. Fusion magic has a defect in the sense that it's duration time is extremely short. It's in the basic structure itself. Even if I develop it into advanced magic I cannot erase this defect itself."
I point another thing out.
"If you are an average user then the fusion time is about 3 to 5 seconds. Basically, this makes it a flashy magic only and not worth remembering."
Aivis nods generously at my words.
"Certainly, there are limited scenarios where fusion magic would give you the advantage. In most cases using other magics would be better, however, if you look deeper into the abyss it is also a magic that can change."
Fumu. As expected of a subordinate that carries my blood. If you could complete the technique. Did your demon eyes arrive at the end point?
"I agree. When I looked into the abyss I understood the basic method of true fusion magic."
At that line, Aivis shakes in surprise.
The sound of notebooks being hastily put away and a pen falling on the floor sounded throughout the classroom.
"Oooooooooh!! It's over! We're all dead…!!"
"…No! I don't want to die! Why am in the same class as that inept person!!"
All the students were shivering as they prepared for death.
"Can you improve this technique?"
A little bit of surprise was mixed into Aivis' low voice.
"Easily."
"…This is a magic I've spent over a 1000 years making…"
"Oh well. Look."
I stand up.
"Wait…fusion magic is the secret art of the Necron family. I can understand you improving Demon King Army ｢Guys｣ as you had probably seen it before but this…?"
Sasha tries to stop me.
"I'm the best in this class. Are you that worried about me?"
"…Not…Not really…I'm not worried about you…"
Sasha turns away from me in a huff.
"Look."
I walk over to the blackboard, emanate magic power and redraw the formation.
"How's that?"
Aivis gulped the moment he saw it, followed a few moments later by his whole body trembling.
The redrawn formation is actually emanating magic. Though demon eyes are required to see it you need to actually think about it to understand it. Is the method correct? Does it work? It's obvious at a glance.
"…This…I can't believe it…? The fusion time has increased several hundred times…I see you've incorporated origin magic into it, however, you've tied that origin magic into the technique itself…how…?"
While Aivis desperately tries to decode the magic I casually say.
"It's easy. Applying the technique of fusion magic I fused the two magics."
"Wha…!!"
Aivis was at a loss for words. It was probably unexpected.
Even though everyone has looked at it, no one had noticed.
If you really look at it, it was actually an easy and very basic thing to do but no one considered it. Probably for that very reason.
This is what true magic research is like.
"What an idea. You said your name was Arnos Voldigod…I did not think that anyone had studied fusion magic before me."
"Aah, I see."
It seems I've been misunderstood a little.
"No. This is your achievement Aivis."
"What…?"
"Today is the first time I've seen fusion magic. Without your research, I could not have completed it. I just gave it the final push."
Aivis lets out an astonished voice.
"What…? You completely understood the method of fusion magic after seeing it for the first time and then completed it…!?"
"Fast or slow, what does it matter? You would have noticed it yourself in another 1000 years or so."
Because I was finished I went back to my seat.
"…Arnos Voldigod. Why is a monster like that attending this academy? There's nothing to teach him."
Aivis' words filled with awe reach my ears.
The whole classroom starts to become noisy again.
"What happened…?"
"I'm alive!!"
"I can't understand anything that just happened. Arnos somehow completed fusion magic!"
"…That fellow…what is he? Wasn't he an inept person…!"
"An inept person…Isn't he a genius…!?"
"It's too much…I can't even follow the normal words!!"
I sit back down and see Sasha looking at me with her mouth open.
"Did you understand all that?"
"…I don't know what to say anymore…"
