Chapter 958
<958 – Slave Hunting (5)>
The professor is a top-tier master in his field.
Naturally, Professor Buzhaar, who has accepted countless professors as minions over the course of a thousand years, has become knowledgeable in all fields of the world, transcending the realms of martial arts and magic.
Among these, the primary fields are martial arts and magic.
These are the areas most professors challenge themselves in.
Even being the best in the world has its rankings.
The strongest person in the world doesn’t need any special training.
Their mere existence makes them a strong factor.
Those born with natural talent don’t seek Professor Buzhaar’s help.
They are already complete beings from birth, filling their own gaps and breaking free from their fragile shells with their own hands.
On the other hand, those lacking the talent to become number one have a slightly different situation.
When one’s hard work cannot overcome the strongest force in the world, people turn to shortcuts.
Since they can’t fight with strength, they resort to slinging stones from a distance—classic siege tactics.
The world’s greatest stone throwers.
That too can be called the world’s best.
The moment the world’s number one is overturned, those with other limited talents start to think.
That guy became number one by just picking up a few stones; why can’t we do the same?
Some lie in the fields, waiting for a stealthy ambush to become the world’s greatest assassin, while others learn techniques that uproot the very earth to become the world’s foremost combat specialists.
Countless derivatives of the world’s best!
Moreover, not all of them aim to be number one.
The world is wide and prosperous, and just becoming an expert in one’s narrow field can earn them respect and power.
Thus, ‘deteriorating,’ ‘weaker versions of the world’s best’ begin to gather.
The first number one.
First-generation challengers aiming for number one.
Second-generation derivatives who cozied up to the wealth and fame of the first-generation challengers.
And among those derivatives, the even more deteriorated third-generation specialists.
The professors beneath Professor Buzhaar are experts in that sense.
Specialized knowledge of a single school?
Ultimate wisdom never reached by anyone?
That’s wrong.
The essence is simple.
They lack the courage to become strong like the powerful of the previous generation.
Oknodie knows this.
Because they have experienced it.
The vast knowledge of numerous professors.
By becoming their graduate student.
So, it can be stated outright.
Such trivial ‘expert knowledge’ has long been mastered.
If there’s anyone with a doctorate in professor studies in this world, Oknodie is the true expert.
The fruits of that labor are here.
[Player Oknodie]
[Phase 1 – Heist of the Hundred]
Professor Buzhaar’s Hundred Techniques have been extracted, surpassing a hundred professors over a thousand years.
Where did the ‘stolen’ information and functions go?
It went directly into Oknodie’s ‘piggy bank.’
And now.
The reality of that piggy bank has come to light.
From impure clay and the clay dolls that have risen from it!
“Amazing.”
Professor Buzhaar deflected the seven controlling spells soaring toward him in real-time, scattering eight elemental spells as he thought.
It may seem petty in a local field, but the knowledge he gained bears no insufficiencies in that aspect, clashing at a level not unlike the feats he mastered.
“The Foundation has essentially acquired all the vision techniques of history’s professors at the Academy.”
Wahyhiemhai Foundation.
Though it has never directly clashed with Professor Buzhaar’s monster army, the danger it poses is all too real.
Every component is perfect.
Nothing is neglected.
Typically, linked techniques are mostly ‘assertive spells’ that refuse harmony with beings of different characteristics.
What are the conditions necessary for maximal power?
Exclusion.
And focus.
To assert one as an extreme expert in a single field, they must concentrate on highlighting one element or strength, naturally treating the rest as ‘foreign matter’ or ‘impurities.’
Professor Buzhaar theoretically understands this kind of self-centered magic.
Specifically, the ‘divine magic’ handled by gods.
The faith of the gods has recommended areas.
And actions that violate this area are outright rejected as ‘heresy.’
Combining one or two spells while simultaneously launching eight more?
That many spells cannot harmonize, even with low-tier, low-power spells, let alone approach expert level.
Oknodie exhibited the stunning skill of enriching the flavors of each ingredient, as if weaving different dishes together.
“The Foundation is impressive, but truly a minor evil dragon.”
This signifies a perfect layering of magic spells, blocking the powers that would diminish or distort if mixed by understanding the principles of each spell and their relational intricacies.
An immense grasp of magical knowledge, along with balanced experimentation, analysis, theory, and practice, achieved a flawless outcome.
“You are at a level where you could instantly become a professor at the Magic Department with your high knowledge and techniques.”
Even if a layer magic school for dropping spells by stacking different magics were to be established, Oknodie’s skill could be recognized as the world’s best.
However, Oknodie’s talents aren’t limited to just magic.
Eight forms of swordsmanship techniques.
Three forms of spear techniques.
Five forms of club techniques.
Regardless of the weapon, the extreme possibilities of each function align through different clay dolls, forming a battle formation.
That formation becomes a tactical maneuver.
Thus, the potential of various professors is combined into one, weaving fragmented seasonal techniques into a single ultimate.
The digest of third-generation degraded specialists.
The martial arts of second-generation specialized derivatives.
The intentions of bold first-generation challengers.
Over the course of a thousand years, as the professors’ foundations gradually deteriorated, Oknodie unifies them as if defying time, reaching the original intentions of the early days.
The number one, Principal Omoshiroi.
The one challenging him, Professor Buzhaar, a first-generation challenger.
The essence that he too can reach the ‘fundamental’ can be felt.
“You’ve also integrated techniques that can even elevate you to the rank of professor in the Knight Department.”
But that’s not all.
The powers of stealth and miscellaneous skills, as well as those of magical devices.
Oknodie has proven his qualifications as a professor in both the Production Department and Adventure Department.
And the broad knowledge and harmony across all these skills also affirm his capabilities as a professor in the Administration Department.
The Administration Department emphasizes skills centered around the authorities of various nations.
Knowledge and harmony are synonymous with the Administration Department.
The qualification to possess more knowledge.
The skill to harmonize greater powers.
All must be proven results of one’s capabilities as a politician.
After all, how many cooperative people could exist as the scholarship students handled by the Foundation’s Agassi?
Oknodie is a child of the Foundation, born with a significant spoon just like the royal children born into the imperial family.
Yet, if there’s an insurmountable inherent limit, it’s simply experience.
The richness displayed by Oknodie’s clay dolls is the depth of the history the Foundation has built.
It’s plausible to scrutinize the old and outdated methods of professors whose techniques had previously been analyzed.
But how about the latest magical engineering?
What about the newest technologies announced after the fall of the Foundation?
“Taste the heights that only mature experiences can allow, which cannot be attained through injected understanding and theories!”
As he endured the attacks of the clay dolls, Professor Buzhaar divided his cell clones within his body to serve as the launching points for different spells.
At that moment, he unleashed a cooperative spell.
Combined Magic Hundred Spell Launch!
A hundred spells were simultaneously met with the techniques unleashed by Oknodie’s clay dolls.
The key to overturning the outcome lies in a single technique that can offset the impending attacks of the hundred clay dolls.
“Even if you know the hundred spells, if you don’t understand even one, you will be trapped in the limits of memorization, implanting, and reproducing.”
Fall under the crushing weight of experience!
Professor Buzhaar’s attack erupted through the gaps in the clay dolls toward Oknodie.
’Splat!’
And Professor Buzhaar’s attack melted away like snow under the sun.
“How could this happen?!”
It can’t be.
He can’t accept it.
Even if he deploys ‘other new techniques,’ the outcome remains the same.
Complete offset.
The Perfect Guard judgment, only possible by unfurling an identical attribute defense barrier using a fully comprehended principle.
No matter how many times, regardless of how different wisdom is employed, or how many different pieces of knowledge derived from many understandings are pulled out.
“You’ve solved all the problems, right? Then it’s my turn for applications this time!”
The moment Oknodie’s magic unfolds, Buzhaar was overwhelmed by the chaotic spells with irregular patterns.
Unlike the clay dolls’ attacks that he could easily deflect, Oknodie’s magic, which he expressed with hoit hoit gestures from his fingers, was impossible to counter.
With each successive hit, he realized.
This was magic with a vast amount of ‘dummy data’ integrating ‘used’ and ‘unused’ spells.
Casting, maneuvering, striking.
Even with enhanced processing power equal to the number of monster cells, as he meticulously tore apart and analyzed every process occurring in the blink of an eye, it was an ‘ever-changing spell’ that his brain couldn’t grasp.
The spell, morphing and emerging momentarily, collapses the next moment, yet the phenomenon still progresses.
Thus, even observation is futile.
Even with the fragmented observations generated by thought acceleration millions of times, it only produced tens of thousands of mistakes.
If one doesn’t know the ‘correct answer’ from the beginning, late analysis is useless, resembling a problem that tests the opponent’s level of understanding.
“You know, while I was buried under various assignments from the professors, I had a thought. Can you solve stuff like this? What makes me worse than you? You can’t solve this either, right?”
“!!”
“I call it the professor-killing spell! What do you think? You grasp the truth of magic, the ultimate answer? A descriptive problem that doesn’t allow ‘real-time cheating’, don’t you like it?”
Professor Buzhaar felt fear.
He couldn’t claim to be a good professor, but if such a professor were to be born into this world, even the strongest of the professor class might struggle to overcome this lecture.
Oknodie’s experience was far from lacking.
This child possessed talent that reached the level of an unparalleled number one.
Some talent surpasses all experience to reach the truth.
But Buzhaar was not that.
He had lived for far too long.
He had possessed too much wisdom and power.
Carelessly living with misconceptions, he was reminded once again.
He was not the number one.
Only one among the first-generation challengers aiming for the number one.
“My thousand years couldn’t surpass this child’s ten years!”
A mere assembly of failures that have not reached the truth like the principal.
As Oknodie’s magic keeps hitting, Buzhaar’s body gradually slows down, and his spell-casting speed also dwindles, reducing the efficiency of his analysis and thought acceleration.
The resources of consciousness, a part of the monster cell, fell away like a switched-off machine.
In Buzhaar’s mind, his loss had already been visualized.
Therefore, he had to use it.
All the trump cards he had saved to topple the principal.
Every last one, without holding back!
