The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Chapter 839 『Spirit Tomb·Albion』『Rank·Last Son』『Creation Department』

Relying on his shockingly low presence, Tatsumi blends in inconspicuously among the magicians on the street. No one, whether students or magicians, can detect his presence.

Standing in the center of the town is the original school building, which is similar in shape to the famous "Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben)" and is called the "Clock Tower" with awe by countless magicians. This is the destination of Tatsumi's trip.

This building has seventy classrooms for various subjects and five large classrooms managed by all.

In this case, although it is a classroom, from the perspective of a magician, it would be more appropriate to call it "seventy and five cities."

In addition, outside the clock tower, each subject also has its own teaching building, with the number conservatively estimated to be over one hundred, and there are even more student dormitories.

These eleven disciplines have been transformed into satellite cities and are located in various neighborhoods around London.

In addition to the visible buildings on the ground, the newer classrooms were built underground in a place called "Spirit Tomb Albion".

Legend has it that at the end of the Age of Gods, a giant dragon about 2 km long died underground, and its remains were scattered everywhere.

In order to utilize its remains as a magical resource, the Clock Tower headquarters was built on top of it.

But I don’t know if it was the influence of the dragon, or if the land was originally like this. The more they dug underground, the more they saw various strange worlds. So at some point, the maze turned into a mine, the mine turned into a town, and the town turned into various ruins as the abyss continued.

Today, the underground classroom complex is still under expansion and has almost become a new underground maze.

......

Let's put aside the gossip for now. Tatsumi has already completed the tuition payment and successfully passed the entrance examination of the Magic Association.

Coming out of the classroom, Tatsumi walked in the corridor of the clock tower under the astonished gazes of others.

Although he has changed his hair color, his extraordinary temperament and unique eyes still attract a lot of people's attention.

Coupled with the need to take exams, he increased his own presence, so this situation naturally evolved.

Tatsumi didn't care too much about this, because after they blinked, his figure disappeared from their sight.

Well, breath masking is really useful!

......

Although it was a little early to say this and it might sound like he was just popping champagne at halftime, Tatsumi could say with certainty that from now on, he was a freshman in the Magic Association.

Now he was heading to the student dormitory.

Before the results were announced, he needed to wait quietly in the dormitory, or take some basic courses offered by the Magic Association, such as "Self-Defense" to kill time.

In short, Tatsumi can go to the Clock Tower to attend classes, or he can do nothing.

The teaching in the Clock Tower is conducted in the form of "as long as you can keep up, you can come." In the eyes of advanced magicians, magic is almost determined by family and talent. Therefore, there is no need to take the teaching seriously.

It is a common practice for Clock Tower instructors to appropriately spread some intelligence that could serve as bait, and then select some promising guys and recruit them as their assistants.

And those students who are eager to learn about magic, like moths to a flame, continue to gather under the name of the famous lecturer.

It is worth mentioning that although the Clock Tower has school rules, it does not have the laws of human society, so personal safety is the responsibility of the individual.

If one is the eldest son of a famous mage family, he will often be in danger of being targeted by others. Therefore, for his own safety, he has the right to keep followers or disciples by his side.

That is what we mentioned before, the dual admission model.

However, from a side view, one needs to protect his own life safety, which means that a murder may happen at any time, and it may be related to oneself.

There really is some...freedom~.

A few days passed quickly, and Tatsumi received a notification letter from the association in the library of the clock tower, which meant that he officially became a member of the association today.

In the Clock Tower, official magi are given a "rank" that corresponds to their abilities.

Tatsumi's current magic rank is "Frame", and there are six other ranks above this.

These ranks, from low to high, are - 'Count', 'Cause', 'Fes', 'Pride', 'Brand', and 'Grand'.

Including the Frame, there are seven ranks in total. The difference between the lowest and the highest is as great as heaven and earth.

There is a saying among magicians.

"If you are born as a commoner for about 500 years and then work hard to a certain extent, your limit is to be a 'high-ranking' one unless you have outstanding talent and ability."

It takes five hundred years of accumulation to reach the third level, which shows how demanding the requirements are to delve into the way of magic.

In the final analysis, if one does not have achievements such as "creating a certain magic base and stabilizing it", one will not be given a rank, so the holder of a "rank" can be said to have considerable strength.

As the person who developed the "Terminal", it is not difficult for Tatsumi to create a certain magic base, because "systematizing" everything is his strong point.

By August, Tatsumi had published more than a dozen magic papers in the "Creation Department" and "Mineral Department". Some of them were inspired by his current research, while others were the decomposition of the "terminal" functions.

There is no need to say much about the papers that were written based on personal feelings. Most of them are related to the creation of the "world", "matter", "life" and "rules".

Using "magic/sorcery" to achieve this phenomenon can be said to be one of Beelzebub Ajaka's specialties.

Yet when they were published, the papers were considered too far-fetched.

Although it was feasible, because it was just a paper, Tatsumi did not write too much detail. In addition, due to his identity, he was regarded as a "negative example" by the lecturer.

To be honest, Tatsumi is just a newly enrolled "youngest son" and may not even be considered an apprentice in the eyes of some senior magicians.

When he registered, only his own name was written in the family column, which meant that he was the kind of "first generation magician" that can be found everywhere, rather than the kind of "third generation", "fourth generation", or even the long-standing "ninth generation" or more descendants of magic.

To be honest, in the Magic Association, it is impossible for a "first generation magician" to exist. All the magicians who can study here are third generation or above.

In everyone's mind, the first generation is basically the same as the wild ones.

The amount of magic circuits is fixed by nature and will not change due to acquired reasons.

Generally speaking, the offspring of excellent magicians will have relatively more magic circuits.

To make an analogy, magic circuits are like genes. The more magic circuits there are, the better the genes are. Therefore, it is very likely that the children born to excellent couples will also have excellent genes.

As a result, families of magicians usually practice breeding, constantly implementing optimization methods so that their offspring will have more magic circuits.

The more generations passed down, the more magic circuits the next generation will have, and the better the quality will be.

Of course there are exceptions, for example, the Matou family is the best example.

In terms of the density of magic seals accumulated through successive generations, and the number of magic circuits developed over generations, both of them rely heavily on so-called inheritance.

Among the scholarship students studying in the Clock Tower, most are children of famous families with a cumulative bloodline of more than six generations, while the lower ones are descendants of magicians like Waver who have been passed down for three generations or more.

However, in Tatsumi's case, the so-called inheritance was ignored, giving people a feeling of "showing everyone what it means to peak at debut", which is similar to Shirou Emiya who participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War and came to the Clock Tower to attend classes.

However, compared to Shirou Emiya, Tatsumi does not have such a reputation. He was only recommended by "Tousaka" and came to the Clock Tower.

Tatsumi has no family, and besides that, his magic circuits and soul colors are not good enough to attract the attention of the association.

The truth must be that Tatsumi is hiding something, but because of this, his amazing talent is highlighted.

A stable foundation of magic was created in just one generation. If you tell this to someone who doesn't know, they will definitely think it's a joke.

Of course, those who know the truth know that this first generation magician will probably stop here.

The content of the paper he published was seriously inconsistent with his actual identity, completely beyond his personal ability, and could be said to be a fantasy.

An ordinary person fantasizes about how to create the "world", "life", "matter" and "laws". Do you think you are playing a game?

If this person is not down-to-earth, his future is doomed to be short-lived.

I believe that any normal person can make a reasonable judgment and would not think that such a paper has the possibility of being verified.

The classroom was filled with laughter because of Tatsumi's paper. Out of professional ethics, the lecturer did not disclose the name of the author of the paper, but only used it as a negative example to advise all students to be down-to-earth.

Tatsumi didn't care about this.

After all, everyone has different abilities, and he cannot force everyone to become as good as him and have the same vision.

When everyone was doing magic, he suddenly did something huge for everyone. This was not unheard of, but it was also unprecedented.

Although a large number of people treated it as a joke, there were also quite a few people who read the entire paper carefully, including one of the lecturers of the "Creation Department", "Lord Inole Baruereta Atolohom".

In Baruyeleta's opinion, although Tatsumi's ideas are a bit fanciful, they are full of a different kind of beauty.

As the saying goes, beautiful appearances are all alike, but interesting souls are rare to find.

Even if it is just an unrealistic fantasy, it still has its meaning.

In ancient times, who would have thought that humans could fly into the blue sky?

Tatsumi's thesis is not without value. Such wild and imaginative ideas are the best treasures.

Of course, Tatsumi will not become famous because of this incident. At most, it is the kind of thing that shines at first glance, but if there is no follow-up, it will soon be forgotten.

Will Tatsumi just become oblivious to the crowd?

No! Of course not!

In order to raise funds, the first thing Tatsumi did was to disassemble the functions within the "terminal", and then published them in other papers in a similar manner.

To be honest, Tatsumi's approach is still rare. After all, no one has ever seen someone produce a bunch of papers in a month. He is just like an emotionless paper machine.

If it is not copied, then it means he really has the real talent.

According to this idea, the reviewers responsible for reviewing the papers carefully went through the students' papers. However, after reading them, they found that the quality of Tatsumi's paper had dropped rapidly.

Of course, this does not mean that there is a problem with the quality, but that it is less fanciful and more simple.

Tatsumi's paper was so ordinary that it was almost indistinguishable from those of ordinary students.

Well, that might be an exaggeration, there is a difference.

The most noteworthy thing among them is probably Tatsumi's unique narrative perspective.

It is well known that Tatsumi was a demon first and then learned magic. He was not like a magician who first learned magic and then became a magician.

Because the way Tatsumi uses magic is obviously different from that of a normal "magician/magician", and coupled with the unique problem-solving ideas of ZG people, Tatsumi's thesis is extremely strange in the eyes of others.

In his previous life, before Tatsumi traveled through time, Mr. Zhang Xingfeng once said this.

"In this world, if there is a test that Chinese people are allowed to take, the highest score in this test is usually - Chinese people..."

"In all exams, there is a thing called 'exam-taking skills'. And Chinese people are the best in the world at studying exam-taking skills..."

"Because you will find out how Chinese people study for exams?"

"He wasn't studying how I could get this question right! ! He was studying how I could get it right for him even though I didn't know how to do it!"

Just as Zhang Xingfeng said, although Tatsumi's academic performance in his previous life was not particularly good, his thinking was inherited from his motherland. It's just that his path after crossing over was a bit wild, which led to what he is now.

For example, if everyone is researching "nuclear weapons", everyone's research direction should start with calculations, and then reach the final result step by step.

However, Tatsumi did not follow the usual path and directly came up with some reverse research, which left everyone a little confused.

If it weren’t for the fact that the technical level of the papers was not high and there were positive verification ideas attached at the end, most people could understand them. Otherwise, the final results of these papers would probably be the same as the previous papers, and would be used as a topic of conversation by countless people.
