I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 72-2

Time passed, and the second round of exams began.

The results of the second round would be reflected in the 'ranking changes,' so Stella's students devoted themselves to studying day and night, but it wasn't really relevant to Baek Yu-Seol.

**'Tactical Magic Utilization Exam.'**

While he didn't know much about other subjects, this was definitely a spectacle.

**Whoosh! Crackle! Crackle! Sizzle!**

Flames and lightning were flying around, creating a spectacle that one wouldn't see in a modern high school.

Since magic had various attributes, the criteria for scoring were also diverse.

For electromancy, it involved measuring maximum voltage and chain reactions.

For pyromancy, it was about demonstrating explosive power.

And for cryomancy, it seemed to involve measuring the range based on lower temperatures or something of that sort.

In addition, various special attributes were measured, including healing, shamanism, curses, lunar studies, material manipulation, and radiance, as well as special attributes inherited through bloodline.

There were truly many things to behold, but he thought the pyromancy category stood out the most.

Honestly, electromancy was flashy and hydro or cryomancy were beautiful, but pyromancy was particularly noisy and wide-ranging.

Hong Bi-Yeon undoubtedly scored first place. However, Hong Bi-Yeon's mother, Hong Yi-El, who was also the supervisor of the pyromancy exam, seemed to still have some reservations about her.

Hong Si-hwa, who could skillfully wield even more destructive and explosive magic than that, emerged as a great magician.

Hong Bi-Yeon was still young with a lot of potential, but... it seemed like her mother was even more impatient than her.

"You're still lacking. Work harder. The fact that your magic can backfire on allies is a deduction factor."

Despite putting in so much effort and dedication, Hong Bi-Yeon simply nodded in agreement to her mother's criticism.

Soon, Hong Yi-el shifted her gaze elsewhere.

The second place in the first-year pyromancy category was none other than Arshuang.

"Your control is remarkable. Although your firepower is a bit lacking, it can be easily overcome with precise control. You'll achieve excellent results when dealing with sensitive enemies or silently performing missions."

Unlike Hong Bi-Yeon, who received criticism, Arshuang only received praise.

Hong Bi-Yeon's expression naturally darkened, but Arshuang's expression was not particularly pleasant either.

Pyromancy was an attribute focused solely on firepower, and no matter how good the control was, ultimately having weak firepower was a fatal weakness.

Arshuang gave a cold, piercing glare at Hong Bi-Yeon, then disappeared with a sly smile.

"Baek Yu-Seol, it's your turn."

Fortunately, Baek Yu-Seol also received a passing grade in the "Special Magic" category, so he didn't fail like he did during admission.

Of course, all the other countless magic application subjects were all failing grades, but he thought that was inevitable.

**[Flash]**

Wearing protective gear, Baek Yu-Seol moved towards an obstacle eight meters ahead, then flashed through the gap between another obstacle and landed.

In truth, the Flash exam was nothing special. The key was the maximum range of Flash, the cooldown time, and how precisely he could control it.

"Hmm, impressive. Not only is there no delay after Flash, but it's also fascinating how accurately he finds the desired direction..."

Even the professors and assistant evaluators exclaimed in admiration. It seemed like Flash was an uncontrollable magic.

"Ahem, how on earth can one train to control Flash?"

Some professors subtly asked about the principles, but Baek Yu-Seol didn't answer.

No, he couldn't.

How could he answer something he didn't even know...

Could he just say it happens? Of course he couldn't do that.

"Eh, well. Still, being a mage without revealing your potential is what matters, right? Got it, understood."

So, while they showed such chubby reactions and disappeared, Baek Yu-Seol didn't receive any insults.

Even if it was just a commoner student's magic, it wouldn't be proper for a mage to forcibly take away someone's magic.

Well... There was a group that secretly stole magical visions from behind, but since he didnt have any visions to speak of, there was no need to worry.

After using Flash a few times appropriately, the exam ended, and he moved to the next exam venue.

'Magic Protocol Interpretation Exam'

This was a subject Baek Yu-Seol was confident in.

In the middle of the exam room, there was a complex magic circle that students had to interpret, and the faster they could do it, the sooner they could leave.

It was a test of patience and suffering that could last from a minimum of one hour to as long as six hours.

**[Prokitexs Stacked Circuit Design]**

As he analyzed the magic circle with his spectacles, something incredible came to mind, but honestly, he had no idea what it was.

Actually, there was no need to understand it. He would just copy someone else's work anyway.

*But why does it seem like it's taking longer than usual to interpret?*

Wasnt this difficult for a first-year level?

Actually, he didnt really know.

Magic was a complete mess, after all.

Baek Yu-Seol glanced around discreetly and stood up after just 20 minutes. He could finish in 5 minutes if he just copied what he saw, but that would be too obvious and it would give away that he was cheating, so he didn't do that.

"Already?"

"What's with that person...?"

Baek Yu-Seol couldn't speak during the exam, but he could feel the students staring at him with wide eyes.

*While you guys were working hard, I didn't really bother with cheating, but when it comes to exams, I want to finish quickly and relax.*

*I'll probably get a perfect score, 100 out of 100.*

He had to secure as many points as possible in the written and theoretical sections.

Since he messed up the practical part so badly, if he didnt score well in the written part, he might even fail.

"Excuse me."

"Are you giving up?"

The professor took his exam paper without even checking and put it on the chart. It seemed like there were students who gave up early sometimes.

"No, I finished all of it."

"...Already?"

"Yes, I'm going."

Upon hearing that, the professor took out his exam paper from the chart again and nodded.

Now it was break time.

Baek Yu-Seol had no intention of using the exam period wisely and would probably go to the classroom and take a nap or something.

With that thought in mind, as soon as he left the exam room, a group of students blocked his way.

"Are you Baek Yu-Seol?"

He immediately sensed it as soon as he saw the second-year name tag.

Edman had finally started causing trouble.

Even in Stella, 'downfall was bound to exist, Edman must have instructed the second-year students under his influence to harass him under the pretext of confronting his senior.

This was also intentional. It was a situation where Edman was antagonizing him to the point of no return.

"Look at this bastard, he's wide awake."

"Hey, do you think you're funny, senior?"

"These days, these brats are getting bold."

"Wow, I couldn't even imagine it."

* But now that its actually happening, it's fucking annoying, isn't it?*",
