Chapter 109: The Episode Where the Protagonist Talks the Most


    "What... what is this ce?"


    All the guests present were shocked, even the two princes slowly stood up, surveying the dense forest around them.


    Was this space actually constructed by magic?


    The crown prince touched a nearby thick tree trunk, and the sensation on his fingers told him:


    This space seemed no different from the real world.


    Even the sounds of insects and the fragrance of flowers could be created out of thin air. Such a vibrant scene, if not seen with one''s own eyes, would be unbelievable in a lifetime.


    But... it seemed to be missing something.


    However, most people were still shocked by Viktor''s magical power.


    The entire lecture hall could amodate thousands of people, yet Viktor alone had transported everyone here!?


    Even Rachel in the front row touched the wild grass nearby, feeling surprised.


    He sensed that the way this space was created was simr to his own Sea of Knowledge.


    Recalling that Viktor had been there before, Rachel thought he might have found inspiration from the Sea of Knowledge.


    But even Rachel himself couldn''t construct it instantly like Viktor did.


    And paint this space so naturally.


    As the surrounding crowd came to their senses, they became even more confused when they saw the magical beasts surrounding Viktor.


    Those magical beasts seemed like Viktor''s loyal guards.


    They would only obey Viktor''smands.


    Magic that creates magical beasts? This...


    This marvelous magical power made them feel incredibly surprised.


    But no one would ask Viktor exactly how he did it.


    However, everyone became aware of thest thing Viktor had said.


    "Instance?"


    They noticed this novel word.


    Naturally, they had never heard such a modern term before.


    And Viktor wouldn''t forget to give them a subsequent exnation.


    "As long as there''s enough magical power, more identical versions of this space can be created."


    "The space range can also be reduced to decrease the consumption of magical power."


    "If conditions are sufficient, then after some students enter here, another group of students can enter an identical area, but these two groups of students won''t encounter each other, nor will there be any mutual interference."


    "This way, every student can benefit in such a space without any negative impact on other students."


    Some people listened to the exnation while falling into thought, carefully examining this space, and suddenly widened their eyes.


    Hiss!


    None of those who could appear here were fools.


    Soon, they all realized what an incredible new invention this was.


    In Viktor''s proposal, they imagined that future scene.


    Schools no longer need to worry about what risks students might encounter when joining actualbat, and will use this as a training ground to cultivate more battle mages.


    When those mage students graduate, each student will possess more proficient and powerful practicalbat skills.


    But there were even more impacts.


    This kind of thing that only mages could do would inevitably further elevate the status of mages.


    Because the beneficiaries were not just mages.


    Warriors, magic users, knights... and various other professions.


    All could be cultivated through such methods.


    Simr to the Royal Knights, the annual selection would result in countless casualties.


    With such conditions, the royal family could adjust casualties to a minimum, and even the possibility of zero casualties might ur!


    Whether for the people or the country.


    This would bring an unprecedented prosperity to the Empire!


    "This..."


    "Viktor''s position as a councilor... is truly, without any intion."


    "Genius, he really is a genius."


    Soon, everyone recalled Viktor''s reputation as a genius.


    His power and fame even made everyone overlook his current age.


    A fourth-tier mage at just twenty-nine years old.


    Viktor pped his hands, and suddenly, the surrounding illusion began to copse and dissipate like watercolor smoke.


    Various sceneries mixed together, falling towards the ground.


    Bursts of falling dust puffed up.


    As the watercolors dispersed, everyone returned to reality.


    The crowd returned to the lecture hall, the two princes slowly sat down, while Viktor was still standing on the podium where the lights converged.


    Until their eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, they realized they had returned to the academy''s lecture hall.


    But at this moment, everyone''s mood waspletely different from before.


    Actually, many people didn''t have much hope for this lecture, thinking Viktor would at most exin somemon topics.


    As the first lecture of his teaching career, ying it safe would be a normal thing.


    However, no one expected Viktor to be so bold!


    His topic exceeded the expectations of everyone present.


    Actualbat would be dangerous?


    Well, then practice repeatedly in this environment called ''instance''.


    Countless repetitions, challenges without fear of death, would eventually gain enough practical experience.


    Even Rachel was extremely excited, couldn''t help but pat the chair.


    "Professor Viktor, where did your inspiration for thise from?"


    As soon as the words fell, Rachel realized that such a question was too impolite.


    So he adjusted his emotions and said again:


    "I''m sorry, Professor Viktor, you don''t need to mind this question."


    "It''s alright, I can answer for you."


    Viktor tugged at his cor and said calmly:


    "Princess Aurelianne."


    As the words fell, that princess, like a bright pearl in the dark night, slowly stepped onto the podium under everyone''s gaze.


    The two princes also smiled as they watched their sistere on stage, their eyes full of gratification.


    Aurelianne unhurriedly came to Viktor''s front and gracefully curtsied to him.


    "Teacher."


    Viktor nodded to her, then looked at everyone and exined:


    "I think everyone should still remember the incident where the princess single-handedly killed the ''Forest Demon'' some time ago."


    That event spread far and wide under the influence of the royal family, and everyone naturally knew it very well.


    Could it be that today''s topic was also rted to the princess?


    Amidst everyone''s confusion, Viktor calmly said:


    "When I was teaching the princess, she once mentioned to me."


    "If there could be a challenge that repeats endlessly until sess, wouldn''t that be more interesting?"


    "So, I designed a unique ''challenge'' for her."


    As Viktor spoke lightly, everyone present imagined that terrifying scene.


    Rather than terrifying, it was more like it shook their minds.


    The fifteen-year-old princess, when facing that powerful Forest Demon.


    She tried again and again, repeating that challenge over and over.


    Falling down time after time, trying again, falling again, trying again.


    Even when exhausted, she refused to give up.


    Perhaps it was the body driving the brain, and finally, relying on extremely familiar experience, she defeated that seemingly insurmountable powerful enemy.


    Many people found it hard to believe that this topic was actually designed based on the princess''s inspiration?


    "To think the princess had such wisdom..."


    "Indeed, the rumors about her being just a figurehead were false."


    "How could anyone from the royal family be simple..."


    The nobles whispered among themselves, but all these words were heard by Viktor.


    He was very satisfied with everyone''s reaction, because this was exactly what he intended to say.


    Gwen wasn''t here, so no one could discern the truth in his words.


    Viktor could naturally lie through his teeth as he pleased.


    "This topic will be supported in the princess''s name in the future, and will undergo a one-semester trial at the Royal Magic Academy."


    "Well then, this lecture is now concluded."


    As the words fell, the entire lecture hall was once again brightly lit, and enthusiastic apuse echoed throughout the huge hall, lingering for a long time.


    Viktor bowed deeply amidst the praise, shock and excitement of the crowd, and left the podium.


    Countless media headed outside the hall, chasing after Viktor who had already left.


    But after this lecture, there were still countless silent eyes in the audience, looking up at the stage.


    The wise ones had already thought deeper.


    ......


    At this time, the capital was extremely lively.


    Various excited and exhrated emotions spread throughout the city, not just among themon people, but even the royal family was the same.


    Viktor''s public lecture achieved great sess.


    Even by the next day, the headlines of countless newspapers were all about Viktor''s ideas.


    "This 29-year-old genius mage is about to lead a brand new era called ''Instance''"


    Yes, countless people were crazy about it. If such a topic could really bepleted, it would be of great significance to the entire empire.


    Especially since Viktor''s experiment.


    It also had the royal family''s name as a guarantee.


    That''s right, that mysterious princess would support Viktor in her name.


    This news quickly spread like wildfire, and countless mages even wanted to find Viktor to participate in this experiment.


    Just so that in the future, their names could leave a mark on this topic.


    The news spread throughout the empire, vaguely showing signs of spreading beyond the empire.


    But there''s no need to worry.


    Because the core technology of this topic has always been in Viktor''s hands.


    As a fourth-tier mage, and also a councilor.


    How could he worry about threats from others?


    ......


    The news spread as fast as birds.


    Meanwhile, at the Delin mansion, in the training ground.


    Early in the morning, Ke sat in a chair resting her face on her hand, watching Gwen training day after day.


    The person practicing swordsmanship in front of her was still Viktor wearing that coat.


    Although he was in the midst of the outside whirlpool, he seemed to bepletely unaffected.


    In Gwen''s home, he was free from distractions, with only the sword in his hand on his mind.


    ng——!


    The two long swords shed together, the des vibrating slightly as they both exerted force and retreated at the same time.


    The two very tacitly sheathed their long swords at their waists and hung them on the nearby weapon rack.


    Gwen looked at Viktor, her eyes still filled with that satisfaction.


    Viktor''s skill naturally needed no exnation, it was extremely proficient.


    And after a period of training, his physical fitness was gradually catching up.


    Perhaps soon, Viktor would be able to move on to the next stage of practice.


    Viktor just shook his hands, once again washing himself clean with a cleaning spell, and as usual, said goodbye to Gwen before hurriedly leaving.


    Every time at this moment, Gwen would watch Viktor''s back as he left.


    Until he waspletely gone.


    Ke looked at Gwen, who seemed to have turned into a ''waiting wife stone'', and couldn''t help but pout:


    "If you want him so much, just keep him here."


    "Really, you''re such an unconscious fiancée."


    Hearing this, Gwen''s cheeks flushed red, and she angrily said:


    "Sister! Don''t talk nonsense! Why would I keep him?"


    "Viktor is just here to practice swordsmanship."


    Ke clicked her tongue twice and shrugged.


    "Say whatever you want, but I have to notify you of something."


    "Viktor''s influence is too great, so great that in just one day, news about him has spread all over the North."


    Gwen was stunned, seemingly not quite understanding Ke''s meaning.


    However, Ke just looked towards the north and said calmly:


    "Father has also heard about Viktor''s affairs, so he hopes I''ll bring you home for a while."


    "He wants to talk to you in person about your engagement to Viktor."
