The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"Yes, Ivy, you've already passed the advanced magician level exam at just twelve years old.

I hope you can win too...

""Isn't this a bit too much to ask of us...

""Well, sit down, let's start by studying the first-year students.

"Sure enough, there was a small box in front of Elena, and Teacher Betty placed several black, videotape-like objects into the small box on the table.

Suddenly, a blinding light emanated from the center of the small box.

"Could it be...

a projector?

"It really is a projector...

This is so bizarre!

How could such a high-tech thing appear in this world?

"Hmm...

This is called a Shadow Projector.

I heard that it was created by a very young child, so it should be about thirty years old now.

There are only less than ten Shadow Projectors, and only two in the royal city, so this thing is very rare.

""Yes, and this thing needs to rest for five minutes after working for ten minutes, otherwise it will easily burn out, so these videotapes are basically kept to be within ten minutes per tape.

"And so, Ms.

Betty and Elena, working in tandem, explained the details and origins of the projector to me in great detail.

The only certainty is that the person who created the projector and camera might very well be a reincarnation like me.

Otherwise, given the current level of human thinking, I believe it would be impossible for anyone to conceive of such a thing.

Even if one thought of it, it would be impossible to invent it, because these things are already nearly a thousand years older than this year.

And so, I sat down next to Lila.

After the light had been on for quite a while, I realized that Roy was also sitting there.

Perhaps her black hair blended into the darkness, otherwise how could I not have noticed her at first glance?

"Very good, let's begin.

"With that, Ms.

Betty turned on the projector and then played out almost all the battles of the twenty-seven students from first to sixth grade, excluding us.

Indeed, their battles were quite unique, especially the four special students that Teacher Betty had mentioned earlier.

It seems that it will be quite difficult to achieve a high ranking in this ranking competition.

Chapter Twenty: First Attempt at Fusion Magic, FailureBelieve it or not...

this academy actually has some hidden geniuses.

For example, the fifth-year red-robed noble student council president, who is only eighteen years old, can already cast high-level magic, and his fighting style is definitely not like that of an ordinary student, but like that of a seasoned veteran.

With my current strength, it would indeed be very difficult for me to beat her.

"The noblewoman in red who is in the same grade as us is named Aifeya.

She seems to be the princess of the neighboring kingdom of Pasla.

She is a dual-elemental mage of wind and fire, and can do intermediate-level magic...

Although her wind control is not as strong as mine, with her fire magic, it will be quite difficult to fight her.

"At this moment, Elena couldn't help but analyze the strength of Princess Aifia, who was in the same grade.

Indeed, if she could combine the two magics—wind and fire—she would be virtually invincible.

Wait...

fusion?

Suddenly, I had a very strange idea.

In this world, all magic requires chanting, and if you want to fuse two types of magic, you must chant twice.

Since I can cast low-level magic without chanting, could I try to fuse two types of magic together?

"Um, Elena, Lira, do you know what fusion magic is?

"The real fear is that fusion magic doesn't even exist in this world.

If I were to actually research and develop fusion magic, I feel like I'd become famous not only in the academy but also throughout the entire country.

"Huh?

Ivy, what are you thinking?

Dual chanting is already incredibly difficult, and you want to create fusion magic???

What are you thinking...?

"At this moment, Lila couldn't help but shout in surprise.

"However, there are successful cases of fusion in this world, but they all happened decades ago.

And in the past thirty years, there has not been a single genius who has been able to perform fusion magic.

"Indeed, creating fusion magic in this world is extremely difficult.

"I see……"It seems that fusing magic is quite difficult.

"According to what I've learned from recent books, even low-level magic, as long as the attributes are compatible and not mutually exclusive, can unleash power comparable to mid-to-high-level or even high-level magic when combined.

Of course, the power can also be several times or even dozens of times greater.

Could it be that...

"Instantly, Elena and Lila's burning gazes were fixed on me again.

"Eh……"I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Ivy, I advise you not to try it, it's very dangerous.

"At this point, Lila directly tried to thwart my idea of ​​attempting to fuse magic.

"Because all types of magic have a mutual repulsion.

Although you can perform low-level magic without chanting, if you want to create a fusion magic, you must remove its mutual repulsion.

Otherwise, it will directly produce a terrifying explosion.

""Yeah, if you get blown up because of this, wouldn't that be...

wouldn't that be a bit too much?

"Shi Lila's face suddenly turned red, and then her voice grew softer and softer until I couldn't hear what she was saying anymore.

"ok, I get it.

"It's true that it's incredibly difficult to achieve fusion magic in this world, but even so, I won't give up this only chance to improve my magic.

Because, in order to cast powerful magic without consuming my lifespan, this fusion magic is my only way out.

So, by the time the research was finished, it was already past eight o'clock, and none of us had eaten yet.

So we could only ask Chef Betty to trouble the royal chefs to prepare a "small" meal, and then we all went back to our rooms to prepare for rest.

Actually, I wish I had dual-attribute magic like wind and fire, then the danger wouldn't be so great.

But I specialize in fire and lightning magic.

If those two were to explode together, it would be like holding a super-powerful grenade in my hand.

I feel like...

I could be blown to pieces.

Therefore, this can only be done slowly and cannot be rushed.

To verify what Lila and Elena said, I also secretly went to the bathroom after returning to my room.

He unleashed a flame the size of a candle with his left finger and a lightning bolt of the smallest magnitude with his right finger, then slowly and tremblingly touched the two fingers together.

Actually, I was quite scared.

Even such a small flame and lightning could be quite dangerous.

And so, very quickly, even though I didn't really want them to come into contact, I managed to separate them.

Sure enough, with a loud "snap," just like an old-fashioned light bulb exploding, my two fingers were flung away.

Although there was a very pungent, burning smell, thankfully I wasn't injured by the explosion...

"What's wrong, Ivy?

"Suddenly I heard Lila's panicked voice coming from outside my bathroom door.

"it's okay no problem……"Seriously, she advised me before not to try fusing magic lightly.

If she found out, I would definitely get a long lecture from her.

But it's okay if she scolds me.

When I get tired of listening to her, I can just push her down.

Hehehe.

"Oh, I'm glad you're alright.

"Lila must have heard that I could still speak normally, so she left the toilet area.

But the explosion that just happened really startled me too...

And so, with a somewhat regretful feeling, I walked out of the restroom, reluctantly giving up on the fusion magic for the time being.

However, in order to pursue powerful magic that consumes lifespan without using forbidden magical laws, I must learn this fusion magic.

Therefore, we should not delay and should go through the academy's books tomorrow to try to integrate this fusion magic.

Even if we only manage to create it little by little, it will be a huge step forward.

At this moment, the nine o'clock bell has rung, and it will stop ringing after nine o'clock.

Because this signifies preparing to go to bed and rest.

But for some reason, I just can't fall asleep today.

Normally, when Xiaobai and Lila are around me, they can fall asleep in less than five minutes.

But today, it's probably because of the failed fusion magic that I'm experiencing temporary insomnia.

Since that's the case, let's find something to do.

Just then, I discovered the special clay I had bought before, the kind of special clay that can be used to make clay figurines.

If I want to turn it into a normal mud figure, all I need to do is bake it with fire magic, and it will solidify completely, which is quite convenient for me.

So, since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well get started!

Chapter Twenty-One: The First Earth-Based Magic - Clay Figure ShapingSo, I quietly got out of bed, picked up the bag of special mud, and headed towards a small room at the back of the dormitory.

I snapped my fingers, lit the oil lamp with fire magic, and then began to carefully and meticulously knead it.

However, the anime characters in my mind are starting to become blurry.

Since that's the case, why not just make some figurines of the people around me?

The first two characters I'll be sculpting are my closest friends, Lila and Xiaobai.

No matter what, they are both my little darlings who share my bed every day.

If I can't get them out tonight, I won't go to sleep.

So, I sculpted it little by little, and after finishing, I used a wooden stick made of special materials that I had prepared beforehand to start carving the details.

Anyway, it was all very complicated.

Fortunately, I used to make figurines myself in that world, so even if it's complicated, it's a piece of cake for me.

Therefore, the lifelike Lila and Little White were quickly carved into the bed.

"Next...

"I held the sculpted Lira clay figure in my left hand and the sculpted small white clay figure in my right hand, and then started a flame burning in the center of my palm.
