Chapter 232 Annoying
"...Why are you here?"
Field walked into the magic practice ground of the Magic Academy and unexpectedly saw Annan playing with a large wand.
"Aren't you having a lecture on life magic today? Why is your assistant here?"
"Of course he slipped out quietly."
Annan smiled and greeted his classmates.
"I'm too lazy to go to that kind of occasion. Besides, even without me as an assistant, the professor will be fine alone."
Annan naturally did not leave Professor Duran behind without saying a word. He got rid of the entertainment that was dispensable to him after getting his consent.
A few days ago, the first paper on life magic was officially released to the world. Since then, Dulan's magic research laboratory, which was originally quiet, has inevitably become lively.
Teachers and students who originally didn't know that their school had a new breakthrough in magic research, almost as soon as they saw the paper on life magic, they all came to them.
At the same time, the local TV station also saw the opportunity and broadcast an exclusive interview about magic professor Dulan's life-related magic, making this news known to everyone.
Ordinary people will not pay too much attention to the emergence of so-called new magic, but even so, as long as a small number of people pay attention to this matter, Duran, who is the first person to study life magic, will receive a lot of attention. .
Annan had expected that it might be troublesome before, but when faced with those enthusiastic visitors, he almost couldn't bear it.
The main reason is that the arrival of those people is a waste of time. In order to greet them, the original study and research need to be temporarily stopped. However, it is difficult to refuse the visit of those people at this stage.
Interview requests from journalists are easy to say and can be refused, but certain figures with a certain status still need to be dealt with carefully.
For example, there are a few big whimsical businessmen who want to commercialize life magic.
It's also like a request for research cooperation from some unknown but wealthy magician from the capital.
Annan, who is just a student assistant on the surface, naturally does not have to face these things directly, but when the professor is too busy, others will see the opportunity to annoy him.
Annan could still hold his temper and smile at first, but after a while he felt bored, so now he simply doesn't go to the professor's laboratory and finds other unattended places to study by himself or practice magic. .
Anyway, if there are no accidents, this annoying bustle should not last long. The number of people here will be greatly reduced in a month at most, and it should be much quieter by then.
As for now, we can only endure it for the time being, and it is impossible to drive people away directly.
"Eh? This wand of yours...isn't this a war wand?!"
Field didn't pay much attention at first, wanting to start his own magic practice, but he soon noticed the shape of the long wand in his classmate's hand.
"Does our magic academy actually have such contraband?!"
"Of course. After all, this is also a magic academy. There are always some weird things collected. Even if it is a war wand that is prohibited from being held by anyone except the military, you can get one here for academic research reasons."
The war wand in Annan's hand is more than two meters long. It is the only old-fashioned product used for research purposes in this school.
According to the school's custodian, this war wand is from two generations ago, which is a weapon that has been basically eliminated. It should have been destroyed, but somehow, there used to be a person here who specialized in combat magic. The professor successfully obtained one from the army.
"Can I touch it?"
Field was full of curiosity about the war wand.
The long wand held by Annan is not as simple in structure as the standard wand distributed by the Magic Academy. The two-meter-long war wand is covered with a white shell and has a mechanical futuristic feel. It is not so much a magic wand. , it feels more like a firearm.
"Okay, anyway, it doesn't matter if anyone else here sees it."
Annan handed over the long wand in his hand.
Field quickly put down what he was holding, thanked him and took the war wand.
"This thing... has some weight."
The war wand protected by a mechanical shell is heavier than expected and cannot be waved easily.
However, this wand, which is specifically used for war, is not designed to be waved. This thing is more like a cannon.
"Does this thing work? Can I try it?"
"Okay, it's very simple. I'll teach you and you'll be able to learn it in one go."
Of course Annan wouldn't mind telling his classmates how to use this war wand.
What's more, the method of use is really simple. Even if there is no instruction manual, the magician can figure it out by himself after a while.
To a certain extent, the war wand is a somewhat silly magical weapon.
"I see... I'll give it a try!"
Field, who was eager to try, smiled unconsciously. He ran to the shooting range and began to try to operate the magic weapon in his hand.
"Has this kid's mentality adjusted so quickly?"
When Annan met Field by chance yesterday, there was still a trace of distress on his face, probably because things in the other world were still bothering him.
But now there seems to be no problem, and he probably doesn’t need to enlighten me anymore.
Field didn't notice the eyes of the classmates behind him. He was now focused on activating the weapon in his hand.
It didn't take long for him to successfully use the war wand to activate the magic within it, which turned out to be a magic missile about the size of a football.
The color of the magic missile is very dim, a little difficult to detect in the sunlight, as if it is blending into the air.
The magic missiles formed at the top of the war wand were fired out at lightning speed.
The magic missile tore through the thin target paper easily, and then fell straight onto the protective wall at the end, creating a slight depression there.
"As expected of a war wand..."
Field gasped, admiring the trail of destruction he had created.
In order to activate the attack magic of the war wand, he had consumed a lot of magic power just now, and now he was still a little breathless.
"This magic missile is much stronger than my own magic..."
"After all, it is a weapon that can be used as long as magic power is input. The power is guaranteed. The disadvantage is that the magic power output cannot be adjusted, and neither the power nor the range can be changed."
After all, the war wand borrowed by Annan is from the last two generations. There are many things that cannot be completed due to technical problems and insufficient consideration. It is a bit behind now, but its power is still guaranteed.
At least it is much more powerful than the magic missiles used by magic apprentices like them.
Their magic missiles cannot even create traces on the protective wall, and may even dissipate before hitting the protective wall more than a hundred meters away.
"Annan, aren't you studying life magic over there? Why did you suddenly ask the school to borrow a war wand? Do you want to study combat magic at the same time?"
Field actually wanted to continue using the war wand for one more shot, but he had already used a lot of magic power. If he continued to play, his subsequent magic practice might have to be suspended.
He could only hand the mechanical wand back to his classmates with a little regret.
"I was just a little curious and accidentally saw that our school had this kind of collection, so I tried it out."
Annan breezed through this topic.
"Okay, let's continue practicing magic."
