The days of learning black magic in another world

"The last two petals, one is called time, and the other is called fate. They are most closely related to infinity. There are also infinities in other schools of magic, but they are rare. It doesn't matter if you learn less magic. They are not like these two. Like petals, almost every step is a pit, and no one at that time could understand them and control them, so they simply avoided them, and they were re-stored by the Forbidden Curse Mage who was chasing them.”

"Then it was a long battle."

"Later generations only know the war of gods. In fact, before the war of gods, it was the war between the so-called 'gods' and the magician of the forbidden spell. But it is probably because of the consideration of how the gods can fight the magician back and forth. , so later this period of history was deleted very cleanly, leaving only the period of their internal strife."

"But that's not the point, Riemann, if you're interested in the infighting between the siblings, you can read the history books."

"Let's bring the topic back to the time when they were first assimilated by various authorities. These young people who have authority are instantly comparable to legendary-level forbidden spell mages. However, they can no longer use magic other than their own authority. , but although they had a little internal strife, they still remembered their original purpose - to eliminate the curse mage, which made them reluctantly unite at the beginning, and decided to jointly preserve the connection between magic and mathematics. Secret—they don't want any more Forbidden Mages, after all."

"However, in the process of studying with the Forbidden Curse Mage for a long time, they have long been accustomed to increasing their strength by expanding the scope of magic. In order to gain a higher right to speak in this small group, they all secretly continue to study mathematics. , trying to find a way to allow myself to use other magic again."

"The pair of siblings are the smartest of them all. The older sister is better at algebra, and the younger brother is better at geometry. But even these two siblings can tell the difference. No matter who tells them, they will think that Nika Even more talented, in fact, even after Nika betrayed the Forbidden Curse Mage, many Forbidden Curse Mage expressed regret, she could have become a real, legendary Forbidden Curse Mage."

"But my brother came up with a clever idea. He didn't pin all his hopes on himself. He began to teach mathematics to ordinary people, hoping to find some mathematical geniuses to work for him. In return, he taught them to learn light. Magic, of course, in a very unmathematical way."

"So the history books say that the God of Light has made great contributions to the promotion of mathematics. That's not completely nonsense. He did so, and because he did so, the remaining nine people had to follow suit. His pace, after all, this is a secret battle that no one dares to lose."

"As for the Forbidden Magicians, I have to tell you, there is a reason why they are seen as bad guys who need to be defeated. They have a terrible desire for knowledge. They are unwilling to share knowledge with anyone outside the group, especially when these When knowledge really means power."

"So this battle now has sufficient motivation for both sides to win, and this battle intensifies until finally, the side of the 'Gods' wins, and the fragment of the light sphere about time kept by the Forbidden Curse Mage Broken into two pieces at a time - poor thing - half of which was given to the youngest of them by the curse wizard, who escaped the pursuit, and the other half was taken by the gods, creating a time The ring, trapping the curse mages in it."

"Because to be honest, they are not strong enough to win a landslide victory."

"Moreover, the time circle alone could not completely trap the Forbidden Magicians, which made the ten young people—in fact, there were only six left at that time, and four died in that battle—this made the Those six young men had to stay outside the circle of time."

"And at this moment, the consequences of the shattering of the photosphere gradually emerged."

"When the power of the world was a complete one, there were many legendary curse mages running rampant in the world. When the power of the world was dispersed, there was no major change at the beginning, but suddenly one day, whether it was the trapped curse mages , or the 'gods' trapped outside the time circle, they felt an extremely obvious change, that is, their strength was forcibly suppressed by a force to the fifth ring."

"You can also say that the world is less able to withstand power."

"In a sense, it's not a bad thing for these people, because the trapped curse mages are trapped regardless of their strength. As for the six people who were forced to guard outside, it was a blessing in disguise, and the upper limit of the world's strength was lowered. After that, they are still the pinnacle of the world's strength, but now the guards of the forbidden spell mages can be replaced by other five-ring mages."

"That is, they were free, and then they started a much longer civil war."

"Time passed, the civil war ended, five people died except Baldemis, and Baldemis himself fell into a deep sleep."

"The timing of his falling asleep was arguably poor, as the abyss emerged shortly before he was forced into a deep sleep."

"Yes, there were no such things as abyssal monsters in this world, but with the rupture of the light ball, abyssal monsters appeared. According to Baldemis' detection, strange places did appear underground. From Demis' understanding, he probably didn't sleep well when he fell asleep."

"Although he later became an enemy, my impression of him has always been that warm and friendly teenager, always running after his sister."

"They did all this with a heart of justice at the beginning, so he probably fell into a deep sleep with infinite regret and pain."

"But it doesn't matter, it's finally about me."

"You should already know which one is me, the one entrusted with fate and half the time to escape."

"Half of the time gave me the ability to live forever, and fate gave me a vague prediction—well...in a sense, it's not vague. It told me that I couldn't rescue my companions, and I don't care about that." It’s surprising, because I was indeed a poor student at the time, and even people like Nika and Joe who joined midway learned better than me.”

"I spent a long, long time trying to get answers from fate, trying to let it enlighten me a little bit."

"It's been a long time..."

Riemann saw an expression of sadness and nostalgia on the headmaster's face covered by a white beard.

"Then I decided to give up the chance of finding me, after all, 'Destiny' really did its best to tell me—Give up, you idiot, it's no use."

"So I decided to find another person to do it all for me, and this person had to be smart, extremely smart, talented, extremely talented."

"But how can I find such a person..."

"To be honest, I don't really trust anyone in this world. Baldemis, the God of Light, has been engraved in their consciousness almost since birth, so I moved my mind to other worlds."

"But to be honest, if I want to find people from other worlds, the selection and review process will be more difficult."

"Furthermore, Destiny doesn't have a strong perception of souls in other worlds. It's hard to predict whether the person we choose will be able to complete this task. What it can do is probably just a 'glance' of your world."

"So I mixed fate with that half of time, and they disguised themselves as a kind of game that is very popular in your world."

Riemann: ...I see.

"Your skill bar, those time-connected curse mages, temporarily lent you power, and those potion enchantments are of course also. As for your task, it is fate to help you prepare after calculating the future trajectory. of."

"Before you, we have tried several people, but none of them can even realize what the essence of the core of magic is. I usually give such souls ten years, and take back fate and time before ten years of discovery."

"To be honest, I originally thought that we would have to try for hundreds of years before we could draw suitable souls from that damned different world."

"I didn't expect you to show up, so early... I'm really glad that with you, I've only been waiting for more than 100 years."

"Riemann, you don't know, I almost cried after seeing your first paper published in Mathematics."

Riemann imagined this scene...the scene of Mr. Principal's tears sticking to his beard...uh...

"I not only found a soul that can explore the core of magic, but I also found a soul that can complete the remaining two magic lines."

"There are two columns of magic related to infinity, one column of time, and one column of destiny. I believe that if you have them, you will be able to break through the blockade of the Holy See on the time circle."

"Mr. Riemann, are you willing to help me, an old man, complete the mission of my life?"

Riemann: "I don't think I have a reason to refuse. To be honest, I am relieved to know where the power I temporarily have comes from. In order to thank you for choosing me to show the magical world, I will naturally fulfill your wish."

Riemann bent down and bowed halfway to Mr. Principal.

"So at the public school...you really were helping me on purpose, weren't you?"

The principal with the white beard blinked: "Of course, we can't let our visitors from another world receive too bad reception from the very beginning."

"By the way, 'The Crow'—it's me too, but if you want to get materials from me, you still need one hand of silver coins and one hand of goods, because to be honest, my materials are all stolen from the past by 'time', This process cannot be completed without paying a price.”

Riemann smiled: "That's it, thank you for your answer, maybe we can discuss a more detailed rescue plan next? And what is this time circle..."
