Chapter 41 - I am repeating stupidity

This is not the time to panic yet. I can’t help but feel that the early dropout plan has been a dead end from the start. However, I’m sure that I’ll be able to recover (?) I’d like to think that I should be able to do that. If the next one is a practical skill, I can make everyone think, ‘He’s still a magic level 2 scum.’ Unfortunately, it’s a lecture. But, it’s a difficult lecture like the ones in senior year.
I’m going to have to change my mind and go to the designated classroom. By the way, where did Liza go? I am a little lost and entered a classroom. It is the same small classroom as before. It was half filled, and everyone looked at me all at once. do not look.
I made eye contact with one of them. I quickly averted my eyes. Now, I’m making eye contact with another girl. I look away, too. However, a large man and a woman in men’s clothes come in, and I’m grabbed by my sides and taken away. It’s Liza and Iris. I was pushed down on the stairs, right in front of the table and in the middle.
“It’s hot.”
“Hey woman, don’t stick to Hart”
“You’re the one who got too close.”
I wanted to sneak up on the back seat and watch anime. If you are so close to the teacher, you will be suspected of not blinking. The door in front of the classroom opened.
“It’s time. Are you all ready?”
The dignified voice belongs to a woman. A female teacher wearing a black robe. A long, thin blonde fluttered and stood beside the teaching table. I don’t really know how old she is, but she looks young. However, the eyes in the back of the monocle seems to be tight.
“I’m Professor Oratoria Belkham. My specialty is “attribute theory,” and I am in charge of this “detailed attribute theory I.” It doesn’t matter what you call me, and you don’t have to be humble. Regardless of that, you can recognize that our relation is that of a teacher and student”
It’s kind of like a teacher who’s arrogant but friendly. I thought for a moment.
“I’m not going to talk to you in general terms in this class. If you can’t keep up with me, you can tell me every time. I’ll beat it out of you right away. Especially–”
The female teacher–Professor Belkam looked at what appeared to be a list of names in her hand and then looked at me and both her sides.
“Three people who are in the first grade. You seem to be very confident, but be prepared to be dismissed immediately if you have trouble with your questions.”
She threatened us from the beginning. But well, it’s convenient for me who wants to leave the school early. If I’m lucky, I’ll be kicked out of the classroom within minutes of starting. By the way, why are you just staring at me?
“Hart Zenphis… seems to belong to that damned chibi glasses lab. I’ll be particularly careful in teaching you.”
Makes sense. Professor Tia, you’re not supposed to go out at night without the moon. Professor Berkham with textbook in hand, began to write something on the blackboard.
“Today, I will talk in detail about the combinations of attributes and their effects. I will not be talking about the basics of conflict. It’s an entanglement between “primary attributes” and “secondary attributes.” Iris Philia, what are your main attributes?”
“[Chaos]”
“Hmm. By the way, your’s is, “Non Standard (attribute extra)”. Even that Lightning Princess has only six attributes. However, the magic level is in single digits, so it’s not that much interesting. It’s really wasteful”
Iris bit her lips.
The main attribute is the one that appears at the beginning of the attributes displayed in “Mija Crystal”. It seems to be the attribute that she is most good at. From now on, it is called a sub-attribute, and some of them have the effect of approaching the main attribute, while others are just “useful”. Although it is weaker as it appears behind, it can be said that it is better because it could not be used unless it has the attribute itself.
“It is difficult to quantify the strengths and weaknesses of the attributes. Including the main attributes. Two years ago, my laboratory established a method to measure the ‘triple attribute’. It’s called the ‘attribute ratio’. However, the samples for 【Light】 and 【Darkness】, especially the top attributes of 【Chaos】, were small, so it was a difficult task.”
That’s what it means to quantify attributes. If the main attribute is set at 100, it indicates how much the secondary attribute can be ‘manipulated’ in comparison to it.
I think that Frey’s [Fire] is 100, [Darkness] is 60, [Wind] is 45, and [Chaos] is 22. The demon race have a lot of 【Chaos】.
“Let’s start with the easy part. Think of the ‘Double Attribute ‘. With 【Fire】 as the main attribute and the compatible 【Wind】 as a secondary attribute–”
She wrote equations on the blackboard. I’m beginning to feel sleepy. I ward my eyelids off from drooping, and bear it. It’s hard. The class goes on, with the professor and students asking each other questions. Everyone is answering the questions. There are some stagnant words, but even if the answers are wrong, if the idea is good, Professor Berkham wouldn’t scold them.
“—-So far, so good? Thus, the attribute ratios are generally calculated to be accurate. However, there are exceptions to everything.”
Professor Berkham writes on the board at a pace that I can’t keep up with in my notes. I’ve already given up.
”In this subject, the numbers collapse only when certain magic is used. For example, the ratio of the [Fire] attribute increased when I performed a fire attribute muscle strengthening. Why is that? Rias Orteas, you guessed it.”
The named Rias stands up. His brow wrinkled and he thought for a few seconds before announcing.
“A degree of proficiency, I suppose? Strengthening the muscles is a magic that you use a lot, and you’ve gotten used to it a lot, haven’t you?”
“As an approach, it’s not a twist, but it’s not bad either. But, the speculation is debunked.”
Professor Bergkam explains in another fast board post. Oh no. I’m seriously about to fall asleep. I mean, why is it so obvious that… …You’re doing the math on that, right?
“Hidden attribute…”
I fell asleep and suddenly said it. The sound of hitting the blackboard stops perfectly.
“Hart Zenphis, what did you say just now?”
She was staring at me. I’m sorry. Was it too sudden? However, I wasn’t just going for a spur of moment idea either. It’s not only that the magic level was displayed in three digits when I made my own Mija’s Crystal, but also the attributes were displayed incorrectly. Some of the main attributes and sub-attributes were displayed with strange words connected to each other.
Frey, for example,
[Fire]-[Explosion]/[Strengthen]
【darkness】-
[Wind]-[Acceleration]
[Chaos]-[enhancement]
It’s like that. What was displayed hanging from this known attribute was called “hidden attribute”. What is not displayed is that there is no hidden attribute. Dad’s [Earth] has [Robust] and [Manipulation], so the defense becomes very hard and the earth system manipulation becomes smooth.
But, this is not common sense. It’s because it’s something that can’t be observed with that ‘Crystal of Mija’ and therefore it’s invisible to everyone except for me. I have only told Charl and the rest of my friends about this. I’m sure that it hasn’t been leaked.
When it comes to this kind of talk, Charl bites into it and ask questions with a memo in hand. She put together all sorts of things to see if it was a hobby, but she’s not going to keep it to herself. Probably. In the first place, I doubt that I can believe this.
It’s correct in terms of demonstrating experiments, but it’s a byproduct of the original trial and error process of trying to increase the magic level digit display. It’s not a feature that was intended to be used for this.
“Answer!”
I don’t know, that’s not natural. It can’t be helped. It’s possible that I’m wrong, so I’ll just give you a quick answer.
“I think there is a hidden attribute that hangs in the attributes. For example, if [fire] has a hidden attribute such as [enhancement], the magic effect of self-enhancement type will increase?”
Professor Berkham opened her eyes. I’m scared. She dropped her chalk and textbook on the spot and came to me with a high-pitched clink of her shoes – and grabbed me by the shoulders with a gasp. That’s why I’m scared of your face.
“Why do you know that? The latest research on Weiss Oulu!”
What? Weiss…what?
“For several years now, he’s been sending research papers to the magical society on an irregular basis. His research is not only the most advanced, but several generations ahead of the curve. Hidden Attributes………the paper named them ‘Auxiliary Attributes’, suggesting that the possibility of ‘invisible attributes’ that could complement or reinforce the attributes or weaken their effectiveness, as you just said.”
(TN: LOL his sister sure is superb.)
Ah, the hidden attribute of negative effect was so bad.
“The auxiliary attribute paper sent to me six months ago is still being verified. So far, we haven’t found any results to deny it, but due to the fact that we’re proceeding so carefully, we haven’t even reported it to the royal family. And that, you!”
I am being shaken.
“Your insights are astonishing! I didn’t know you were such a gem. That damned little glasses, she had her eye on you before I did. You!”
You’re a busy person who is both touched and angry.
“Why don’t you stop studying ancient magic that was crap and come to me? How about it, Harr Zenphis?”
“Professor Berkham, I think that recruiting during class is a problem before etiquette,” Iris interrupted.
“Iris Philia, you were the same. If so, come with me.”
“I feel the potential of Professor Tear’s research. I have no intention of moving.”
The push-and-answer conversation continued for a while, and finally her hand was released from my shoulders. Professor Berkham ridiculed the cool beauty atmosphere and grinned.
“Maybe you were ‘Weis Oulu’. Haha, no, I’m kidding.”
“Haha, that’s not the case.”
Yeah, that’s true. Not me.
Even so, “Weiss?Owl”?
I’m curious, too to whom this ‘cool-looking’ name belongs to. That’s a combination of German and English just because it looks ‘cool’ (stick).
