Tensei Dai Majo no Isekai Kurashi ~Kodai Roman-Fuu Kokka de Hajimeru Mahou Kenkyuu~ - Ch. 8

[Laurentious]

She was very close to become another Archimedes in that world but for the wrong reason by running naked to show her discovery if she wasn't stopped by Tito

 

[feha]

What the hell.
"I found a way to circulate mana, increasing it to weaponizable strength."
Both Octavia and her teachers: "Meh. Come again when you have a practical use for that."

yeah that part really confused me.
And if nothing else, she could have managed to at least convince her master to try one cycle to let her add a second data-point into her thesis. Like "I had my teacher try and move mana through these points too, and she confirmed she noticed the same behaviour, which suggests this is something inherent to our species or region and not something individual to me."

Good to see the school arc getting shorter in manga now, well I feel like its shorter now anyway. Shes already got most of the learning by herself anyway and now free to do more experimental stuff.

Her teacher couldn't see Mt Tai.

If you do a drinking game for however many times she said the word 'butt' on this chapter, you might actually die

😭

 

[lenovoaxioo]

ugh, the pain of catching up to the sos

Zenis: Figures out how mana moves throughout the body and can be adjusted based on controlling that flow
Octavia and teachers: Cool story, bro
Seriously, how blasè can you be about something this important regarding magic?

A naked loli doing research? I wouldn't mind helping her apply 'glue' to her butt.

As a reader and educated person, we could see why her discovery is important and will be the fundamental of every magical theory and application in the far future, but I think you guys need to realize that the teachers there didn't have the luxury of "reading manga that involved magic" and years of mandatory education in environment with scientific culture. Not to mention that scientific culture had yet to be developed. People back then put more emphasis on application than fundamental since, well, ds = v dt couldn't help me catch that damn deer for winter and prevent me from starving. Probably "if it was so great, there would already be so many application of it" was what crossed their mind, which is something the MC need to prove so hard that every magicians would be prostrating before her.

literally revolutionizes magic forever by experimenting in a controlled, repeatable manner while solely using resources that the academy and probably every notable mage has access to, and a WEAK reaction??? a mere PASSING GRADE??? it literally BUFFS ALL types of spells! octavia should be shitting herself by the fact that her student has literally surpassed all known knowledge of magic that has been defined for ages, while mc is peculiar in the potency of her delusion power all it takes to circulate magic though the circuit is imagination, and if it's taught in the education system as verifiable fact with clear instruction and diagrams then it should be easy to replicate for virtually any mage with no issue

if it were just just on paper theory rather than an observed physical phenomenon (with a witness no less), i could maybe understand their reaction. but she literally cast mega versions of spells using this technique. there is absolutely no way it would cause zero waves, next chapter should be octavia or someone trying it out and going "oh shit this is a big deal" or like wow every magician in this universe is unbelievably incompetent and braindead except mc. it's a heretofore unknown technique that has more than enough potential to raise the status of magicians as a whole, literally every single industry would be affected by this thesis

this goes beyond just the populace being traditionalist or stuck in their ways, they're outright ignoring a guaranteed method to advance their entire fucking civilization written by the greatest genius to have probably ever lived

EDIT: i'm going to be livid if mc has to research significantly more than this bc she literally has piles of irrefutable evidence that this is how magic functions. the only thing she would need to further prove this as the truth would be a wider group performing the experiment, but it's completely unreasonable to expect an 8 year old girl (iirc) to have the connections necessary to gather a ton of mages for a graduation thesis especially given third year students are apparently expected to only do independent study, she can't rely on her peers (whom she has no connection with due to having been forcefully advanced recently and would likely shun or underestimate her because of their age difference) and just using her personal tutor isn't enough. it's the academy's responsibility to do this especially given the sheer volume of benefits it could give the academy were it verified

there is application. mc used a spell of vastly greater strength than she should be capable of because of it, and there is no reason to believe it is unique to her or a one time thing. even if you were to completely ignore the theory and purely look at the results it HAS practical application already, it just straight up makes you a vastly superior mage. again if it were solely theory i would understand but it just isn't, it's a technique that could turn even the weakest mage into an archmage if their imagination and control were good enough, because it doesn't seem to use more mana than the spell would take normally. it's just more power for virtually zero cost except effort, concentration and time which should be a non-issue in most situations aside from combat which is only a minor application of magic in the grand scheme of things, and even there the benefit of a huge ass spell can be worth it depending on the situation

this is also only in relation to the magic circuit building up the spells too. the fact that mc now knows the objective best more efficient parts of the body to cast spells with is also earthshattering information that nobody was privy to before now, and knowing the physical cost of spellcasting as it is now defined by mc also has some pretty major implications even if it's a lot less blatantly insane than the other two theories. the fact that they know it burns calories now suddenly makes mage diets and the physical build of a mage a really important aspect they need to consider, plus they now have the ability to better mitigate magic burnout. for instance, imagine the academy enforcing that its students carry a high calorie snack bar equivalent or trailmix or something to maintain optimal spellcasting ability

all of this in a single thesis makes it clear the mc should have been basically deified as a god of magic overnight and given as many resources as she needs to continue her research. keep in mind that every second she's forced to work with what she has as a kid with barely any money or connections are seconds she could have spent rewriting the laws of magic. they're idiots for not catching on and supporting her

 

[Strela]

Well that's bullshit, you not even allowed to post in forum??

 

[Kampfbell]

They're based on roman not greek, roman focused more on applied science than pure theoretic. If it didnt benefit them in tangible way then it's worthless.
