Infinite Mage

Yo, Shirone Arian. adapt Arent you the genius who caught the academys attention? amateur Im so honored Im going to record this moment in my diary.

It wasnt like he was purposefully avoiding him. arcade It was because there were more days of Yiruki missing classes than attending them.

It had been a month since Shirone was promoted, but it was his first time having a direct conversation with Yiruki.

Just by his first words alone, Shirone could understand why his classmates tended to keep away from Yiruki.

Shirone had a look of surprise.

Hi, Im Shirone. audit Please take good care of me.

This voice

And thats when he noticed.

You watched me?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Are you the one who cheered me on back then?

The thin voice It was the voice that encouraged him when his Spirit Zone was shaken by the students criticisms back when he was in Class 7.

I wouldnt call it cheering. abstract I was just frustrated, so I said something. accent And I also didnt like you being swayed by the kids.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

At that, Yiruki stared hard at Shirone.

Yiruki said it as if it was a small, troublesome thing to do, but Shirone was still grateful nonetheless.

You are quite a boring kid, arent you?

No, it was a huge help.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hey, hey Yiruki! echo Hes still thanking you. album Its rude to say that.

Huh?

That was when Nade butted in.

It was Shirones first time hearing such a thing, and it strangely offended him.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he walks away with a cackle.

Yeah? autumn I was complimenting him. alert Anyway, do your best. anxiety Of course, things wont be easy. antique Class 5 harbors lots of obnoxious kids.

Yiruki twisted his head and turned around.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hey, where are you going? avalanche Lets practice together.

Shirone was left dumbfounded. arrow Class 5 was an Intermediate class. legend He couldnt understand how such a student got all the way up here.

The magic academy classes are tiresome?

Its tiresome. alpha Id rather just sleep.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But

Sorry, Shirone. crystal Hes not that bad after you really get to know him.

He seems to have a little bit of a Strange personality.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ah! portal You probably dont know because you havent been here for too long.

Genius? album Yiruki is a genius?

I know what youre thinking. absorb We will be the only ones left tired if we try to pry. anxiety That guys a genius too. wizard The problem is that hes a different type of genius compared to you.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

At first, the instructors went nuts over Yirukis talent and fought over who would be his homeroom instructor and be in charge of him.

Yiruki was the epitome of a master-of-one human being. alert He was a genius who received zeros on all subjects that were influenced by emotions, like literature and art. antique But for subjects that required computational ability, he was a genius who would get full marks with his eyes closed.

Nate told Shirone who Yiruki was. abstract Contrary to the word genius, his grades were similar to that of Nades, but none of his classmates looked down on him for it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, because of his eccentric personality, most of them gave up and paid no more attention to him.

The field Yiruki performed best in was computational physics, which only a limited amount of people with special brain functions could do.

Though, if Shirone continued to raise all his subjects together, he would eventually overshadow Yiruki, who tended to cover up his weaknesses with his strongest strengths.

Nevertheless, talks about him possibly surpassing those in the Advanced class in terms of mathematics arose, and many instructors started to observe him in order to see if he would be promoted in the near future.

For example, calculating phenomena that occurred in extreme conditions such as absolute zero or high heat in the 100,000,000 degrees range or more using numerical figures.

The possessor of such a brain capable of mechanical calculations beyond the limits of human beings. arctic That was who Yiruki was.

A person with a brain capable of such calculations often had such a thing called the Savant Syndrome.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why is a person like him still in Class 5? athlete No, even if he had no talent, scoring zero makes no sense. august Even if he rolled a pencil and took a guess, he should have still gotten a few questions right.

If everything Nade said was true, then it was an amazing talent.

After hearing the explanation, Shirone had an absent-minded look.

Nade laughed.

It was a problem that had an excerpt from a poem called by a poet named Gilberto.

In the natural science section, he received perfect scores, but things were a whole lot different for the literature exam. zenith His results were disappointing in the instructors eyes.

The thing is, hes always been like this. artist About a month ago

He told the story of Yirukis theory test.

The last verse was leaf that has fallen in zigzags, and the question asked the students to answer why the leaf fell that way. matrix Most interpreted it as the poet expressing his fear of death But thats not what Yiruki came up with.

Equations using the standard model for the leaf are written below

Below that, there was a formula that the one who was grading the test couldnt even understand. arrow Instructors who knew Yirukis personality simply thought it was just Yiruki being himself and passed over it. afford But Adelia, a literature instructor, could not tolerate it.

[Answer] Since the speed of the fluid (in this case, gas) flowing on the surface of the leaf is met by different levels of air resistance, the leaf would move in the direction of the vector with the greatest sum of force exerted by the pressure. canvas Equations using the standard model for the leaf are written below.

Yiruki! airport What is this?

The exam paper.

As a mother of three, she rushed into the classroom with her plump body. alert Then in front of Yiruki, she slammed the exam paper down and demanded an explanation.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

How dare you brag like you know something. amateur Youre a student. afford Its still a few years too early for you to act like youre an expert. sphere There are also deep and mysterious ideas in the world that you cannot grasp mathematically.

Not that! antique Look at the answer you wrote! august This is a literature test, not a math test!

Adelias round face turned red like a tomato.

Doesnt the distinction between mathematics and literature itself prove the unrealistic aspects of literature? shadow And it also asks why the leaf fell the way it did. wizard And I answered it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

So youre saying everything is logical? aluminum Even poet Gilbertos verses?

Adelia kept standing for a while, then pointed her finger and shouted.

Yes. auction Thats why I wrote that answer.

Teacher, theres no such thing. apple If some part of the world is illogical, that would be scary. academy If such a thing were true, then theres a possibility that I might just turn into an orc right now. auction Who knows?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Id let the thousand people die. anxiety Mathematically, the lives of one thousand people who are supposed to die, and the life of one who wasnt, dont follow the rules of equivalent exchange. matrix The equation cannot be formed in the first place.

Then answer this. album A thousand innocent people are at risk of dying. aspect But you have the power to save everyone by killing one innocent person. acoustic What will you choose to do?

Adelia stomped the rising anger from deep within her.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There can be none.

Is there a god or not? arrow Answer that!

She came up with something.

His logical reply made Adelia even more virulent.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mom or dad? galaxy You can only pick one!

Get out!

Both.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A faculty meeting was held.

Get out, you punk! antenna You dont deserve to be in my class! beacon Get out!

Adelias fingers trembled.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Having the temperament to go against an instructor took courage.

In the end, the instructors concluded that Yirukis answer contained ridicule against the authority, so they dropped all his scores for the humanities subjects to 0.

Wow, thats no joke.

Upon hearing Yirukis story, Shirone couldnt believe he was 17 years old like himself.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Haha! shadow It really isnt. audit Anyways, hes that kind of a person. alert Hes extremely hard to get along with.

Who knows? timber Maybe he saw something extraordinary in you. agent Anyway, thats why I purposely introduced you to him. palette In hopes that he might get along well with you.

Now that I know his personality, I kind of get why he called me boring. airport But how is that a compliment?

Shirone got curious and wanted to know more about Yiruki. apron If he had known earlier, he would have talked more with him. atomic With that, he searched around for Yiruki, but ended up widening his eyes in surprise.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki was walking towards the Image Zone with half-closed eyes. agent As he approached, the kids around took notice and backed off, not because they wanted to avoid him, but because they respected him since he was an upperclassman.

Eh? antique Nade, look over there.

Damn it! admire What is he thinking of doing now? acquire Lets go and see.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why is he like this again? amateur Isnt he supposed to take his clothes off and lay down somewhere like he usually does?

Shirone ran after Nade.

One by one, other students started gathering to watch.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Deviate Form?

At their words, Shirone’s eyes popped open. arena He was gonna take his clothes off while female students were watching?

Ignoring the audiences uneasiness, Yiruki opened up his Spirit Zone. absorb A sphere with a diameter of 15 meters. apron It was on the small side, considering he was in Class 5.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Dont we have to stop him? action That jerk was banned from using the Image Zone by Ms. portal Romie.

Leave him be. anchor Even if we tell him to stop, he wont listen.

Oho, that guy. palette Its been quite a bit since he last did that.

The moment Yiruki performed his Four Way Formation, his Spirit Zone broke away from his body and separated.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Some students simply sighed as they knew it was forbidden for students to release targets arbitrarily, while some just enjoyed the spectacle.

He flicked his finger and targets popped out from all directions and flew around him like birds.

At that moment, Yirukis Spirit Zone began moving around a large area.

Amidst everyone’s admiration, Yiruki saw Shirone in the audience. echo The edges of his lips curled up.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Wow

Like the bouncing of a rubber ball, Yiruki freely bent the angle of his Zone and even its speed. acoustic It was impressive.

The Deviate form of the Spirit Zone pursued the targets.

Shirone was genuinely surprised.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Huh? crystal Yiruki! echo What are you doing right now?!

Ethella, who was instructing Class 4, looked around the Image Zone once and started running.

Seemingly already having made up his mind, Yiruki hardened his eyes and flew his Spirit Zone to a target.

Thats amazing.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

By the time the students turned their backs on it, Yirukis Detonation magic was completed.

The moment the sphere swallowed up the target, light began to bubble like foam.

That lunatic!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Atomic Bomb.

The wind pressure caused by the explosion pushed back the people around. antenna Some students even fell on their butts.

When Shirone faced forward again, he saw Yiruki standing at the end of the Image Zone.

Keuk!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What did he mean by See you next time?

See you next time, Shirone.

What was he thinking? wizard What compelled him to do such a thing?

He had his hands intertwined behind his back and spoke with a blank face.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki! artist I told you last time that if you were to do something like that again, you would be punished!

Shirone couldnt understand him at all, but thankfully, one question was quickly resolved.

Ethella pinched Yirukis ear and dragged him away.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

You! afford You really dont reflect on your actions until the very end! album You are on probation for a week starting today! amateur Dont come to class!

Aak! adopt Thats too harsh!

Ow, ow! aspect I held back so that the device wouldnt break. ability You know what happens when I make up my mind to blow something up.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ha! apron In the end, he did it again. amateur Sorry, Shirone. amateur I think Ill have to go.

Rather, while he was being dragged away, he looked at Shirone and Nade and smirked.

Yiruki shouted, but he continued not to acknowledge that he had done something wrong.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 40: Another Genius (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the most extreme way of handling energy.

Detonation magic.

Even after Nade chased after Yiruki, Shirone did not move from his position.
