C199: The one who doesnt dream (2)
Beasts and small creatures also have desires and hopes.
Dreams are the essence of life. Therefore, all human beings, who can be called desire itself, dream.
There is only a difference between clear and cloudy, light and heavy in the shape of the dream.
Having no dream is not allowed according to the laws of the world but sotis there are those who deviate from the laws of the world.
They have been called the ones who dont dream.
Although he was her senior, he was almost twice as old as Julia and he was close to an uncle in his 30s.
What is it all of a sudden, old man?
I told you to call your senior!
Considering that most of the wizards belonging to the Dream School were over 50s, the mid-30s were very young but for Julia, even that was just an old man because she was a genius who entered the dream school in her early teens.
All right. Anyway, would you mind not talking to ?
-You should get rid of the habit of judging people at will.
-But your dream is not cool.
Youre so an!
Her unsuspecting senior coughed while shouting.
Julia, keep this in mind, you cant judge people by their dreams forever.
Why? Dreams are the essence of a person.
Because there are people who dont have dreams.
Julia laughed at his words then.
-Youre joking. Who in the world is like that?
There are. Surprisingly, Ive seen one in person once.
Who?
Its a secret. Anyway, there are people like that.
-If you say so, at least its not a lie.
What did you think of ?
Mmm. Unreliable uncle?
-Have I done anything wrong to you?
The senior who drooped his shoulders, imdiately recovered. He had a great ntality and quickly recovered from any vicious remarks.
Maybe it was because he had to survive in the Dream School, which was full of geeks.
-Anyway, if you stay in our Dream School, you will et a unique person soday. For example, the dreamless one I talked about earlier.
-What is the one who doesnt dream? Can a person not have a dream?
Its called that because it exists. I dont know why. However, there are several hypotheses.
The word hypotheses intrigued Julia.
Questions in their field always made wizards feel hungry.
-What are those hypotheses?
-Not sleeping or being blocked by sothing else. There are many hypotheses, but most of them are nonsense. However, the most likely theory is that.
-What?
Self-confidence.
-Does self-confidence refer to an upright belief in oneself?
Yes, those who dont dream have confidence. The certainty that they can achieve dreams that other people just wish for.
People dream to chase their ideals that are impossible to achieve in reality.
-They dont have desires of others but a firm belief they can achieve it.
An ideal that can be achieved can no longer be a dream because its an extension of reality.
Yeah. I an, hes the ultimate superhuman who can achieve his ideals.
Julia returned from her past recollections and stared at Rudger.
Is he the ultimate superhuman? What an interesting expression.
She even thought that what her senior said was not just nonsense.
It was fascinating since I saw you at the beginning of the sester.
In the past, her senior earnestly asked her to let him know if she ever t soone like that but Julia didnt want to. For now, she wanted to watch.
The one who doesnt dream changed Sedinas dream. And in a very positive way too.
The only thing that can affect a dream is a stronger dream, staining good dreams with evil or dyeing bad dreams with good. But the one who doesnt dream changed Sedinas dream.
This was a great discovery and change in the dream magic academia.
Should I ask how on earth that happened?
But she didnt think Mr. Rudger would say it easily because of his personality and she had limited thods to find out by herself.
In the end Julia had no choice but to reach out to other possibilities.
The wizards of the Dream School. They have strange personalities, but their skills are real, and they thirst for mysterious things more than anyone else.
Maybe if she asked them indirectly they might give her an answer.
Still, it hurts my pride a little to ask for help from them.
But it was related to Sedina, who was her childhood friend so a little bit of damage wont matter.

The class started.
The amount of magic that each wizard releases varies widely. This is because the innate elents of the body play a big role.
The students concentrated on writing and moved their pens quickly.
So papers argue that healthy and disciplined bodies can release more magic, but the effect has been found to be insignificant. It ans that even if you make your body strong as a wizard, the efficiency you can see is less than that.
How to increase the amount of mana emission is a challenge for all wizards. So far, many wizards have been preoccupied with finding a better way, but they dont have any significant results.
So said that by increasing the total mana in ones body the amount of mana emitted will increase proportionally to that but increasing the total amount of mana is very difficult.
The most effective thod currently known is to master the process of depleting your mana and restoring it quickly.
It was a slang term among wizards called mana muscle. Of course, it was not a real muscle but more of a roundabout expression.
In order for muscles to grow they have to be worked to the limit, then torn and regenerated and it was the sa with the mana muscle.
However, this thod also has limitations and so people reach out to the forbidden paths to seek a better way.
The Black Wizards?
Yes, they touched the taboos and experinted on humans.
The black wizards were crazy and used people as test subjects. In the end they even experinted on themselves.
In fact, one of the bug brothers whom Rudger fought against previously combined his body with a bug.
There are research materials of so black magicians obtained through the Empires large-scale subjugation. The Tower revealed only a part of it in the past, but if you look at the outline that was revealed, the black magicians tried to make a circuit in the human body.
What circuit?
A mana circuit.
A part of it was similar to magic engineering which has recently erged and the most common example was the golem.
In the past, golems were made of soil and stone but now that science has developed the bodies of the golems are made from steel and brass and their components contain high-compression steam and chanical springs.
Although the mana stone drives the golem not everything works because of the mana stone. Sophisticated chanical parts must be engaged, while pipes and cylinders must be moved.
The circuit which moves the mana stone energy into the golems parts plays the most important role. It was also the circuit that black wizards were interested in.
They forcefully engraved the circuits that exist only in machines in human bodies.
The students made a fuss.
The human body is made up of skin and has a fixed form from birth. No one knew how dangerous it was to add a new circuit that was not originally present in such a body.
The body might reject the circuit and even in the best case there was a high possibility that it couldnt adapt to it.
The probability of success is extrely low, and even if it is successful, enormous pain will appear whenever mana is used but black wizards did such a thing without hesitation.
Of course, that is strictly prohibited under national law. What the black wizards are trying to do is forcefully undermine reason and harmony. That kind of developnt is not worth it.
Is there any way to increase mana emission other than endless training?
Right now there isnt.
The students seed to be disappointed by his words because they thought Rudger might know a way.
Rudger smiled inwardly at the obvious students.
Increasing mana emission will be the discovery of the century. Sothing like the Source code was incomparable to it.
Its not that theres no way.
Rudger decided to give them so advice.
You dont have to feel sad. Maybe one day there will be a better way.
Do you really think there will be a better way?
Yes.
Rudger replied without a shadow of doubt.
You may not know, but in the past magic was less sophisticated than it is now but the wizards of that ti were more powerful.
They could drop lightning from the sky, cause snowstorms and shake the ground.
Although such great magic is treated like a legend, wizards of the past could use it.
Isnt that just an exaggeration?
Soone asked.
In fact, most students thought so.
Magic has evolved over ti and it never occurred to them that the magic of the present era would be weaker than the magic of the past.
Maybe it is. Perhaps, even if such a thing was actually possible, it could have been caused by an out-of-standard being with an amount of magical power equivalent to that of an archmage.
What?
If a being had an enormous amount of mana, then even when they released a little they could create a gigantic phenonon.
But there is definitely sothing to learn from the magic of the past.
In fact, the research direction of the thod of increasing mana emission in the Tower has recently been changed. They now tried to get clues from the ancestors and Rudger knew that was the correct answer.
Sotis, rather than the possibility of the future, looking at the past calmly and paying attention to the wisdom of ancestors can also help developnt.
Of course, students wont understand even if he says this but it didnt matter, there were definitely a few people who took it seriously.
Soon the bell that ended the class rang out.
Thats all for todays class, your task is to review todays content. Summarize and submit your review and exploration of the old literature related to mana emission in a report. The ti limit is next week. Thats it.
Thank you for your hard work!
The class was over and Rudger organized his files.
At that ti, so students showed signs of hesitation and were wondering whether to approach Rudger or not.
Tell if you have sothing to say. Dont stand there.
When permission was granted, the students approached.
He was wondering what it was, but they asked about the contents of the class.
Recently, students seem to be asking a lot of questions.
Before, they were overwheld by Rudgers atmosphere and no one wanted to approach him after class but the starting point of change was after Theon {Magic Festival}.
The fact that Rudger ran into the fire to save Selina, spread among the students.
After that the students thought of him like a teacher whos usually cold and aloof, but does the right thing when its important. His appearance was also handso, so at that mont his good points that were not normally seen were suddenly highlighted.
Rudger, who didnt know that, was not able to easily adapt to the attitude of the students who have changed recently.
Teacher, do you have a girlfriend or soone you like?
If its not a question about school, refrain from it.
When he answered in that way the girls laughed.
He hoped that the students would approach him, but he felt that the distance suddenly decreased.
Sir, I have a question.
Rene?
I dont understand this part of the formula, can you explain it to again?
Questions like this were always welco, so Rudger glanced over the notes Rene had brought.
The skeletal lines are tangled with each other. On the surface, it may not seem like much, but this will inevitably reduce the flow of mana.
I see.
You can find out more about this by reading [Introduction to the Structure of Spells III]. Its an old book, but its probably what you need the most right now.
He pointed out what was wrong and even recomnded books necessary to supplent her knowledge. Unlike his blunt tone, his explanation was very helpful.
Rene peeped at Rudgers figure. His face was calm as he looked at her notes.
He was cold and rational, but she felt sothing familiar when she saw Rudger, like she often t him sowhere.
It was sothing she forgot, sothing very distant and nostalgic.
She didnt know why, but Rene unknowingly said a na.
Heathcliff?
She was surprised that she said it and Rene opened her eyes wide as if she didnt understand her behavior but what surprised her even more was Rudgers reaction.
What did you just say?
Because Rudger was staring at her with a stiff face.
