People are group animals after all. Reading more books and knowing more will naturally produce a desire for expression and communication. Therefore, as long as one's attention returns to the self, it is an inevitable choice to gather people with similar interests and become a part of one's spiritual life. Victor did the same.

Through group activities such as dinners and discussions, Victor quickly integrated into a small interpersonal circle within a month, and most of the people in this circle were from the Basic Branch of Einsed Magic Students. teacher.

"Steven, is there something rude to me?"

In the teachers' lounge, Victor asked in a low voice: "Otherwise, why would the other teachers in our office ignore me?"

Stephen Raphael, the second-ring mage and first-level arcanist of the "Silver Scholar", because his strength is similar to that of Victor, the relationship between the two is equally harmonious.

Looking at the magic pocket watch with the shiny silver case, Stephen curled his lips and replied: "You mean the group of Werner Cecil? Don't waste energy paying attention to them!"

"Why?" Victor asked inquisitively: "They are all colleagues, there is no need to make the relationship so tense, right?"

"Hey-hey!"

Stephen sneered a few times and explained: "Victor, you don't know! They are all people who are'all things are one'. These rotten guys are pursuing eternal sleep... Never see us. "Mortals" with limited lives!"

"Since the development of the Magic Society has made a qualitative leap, the internal voices of the Society have ceased to be one..." Stephen sighed. "All major organizations have challenged the status of'Silver Scholars'. The means of "Reunification" is the most intense! If it were not for the prestige of Lord Grant, or the support of the'Alchemy Hand', the Magic Society would have been torn apart..."

"Don't they care about the threat of the eternal temple?" Victor pretended to be surprised: "The internal struggle of the learning society will only continuously consume their own strength. The adults are all wise people, and they won't fail to see it. Is this right?"

"Blame Skysiti! As long as this floating city can function normally, the threat of the temple is nothing but nonsense... Alas, it's true that it's Skysitty and Skysitty is defeated. "Ah..."

After finishing the course of the day, Victor returned to his residence with great concentration.

"It seems that the contradictions within the Magic Society have accumulated to a certain extent, and even an ordinary teacher can see this..."

"No! I can't just wait and see stupidly, I must prepare early!"

Victor, who decided secretly, immediately began to estimate and measure his own strength, "All zero-level spells, one-level spells'Mage Armor','Greasy Skill','Mist Hidden Skill'... Then, then there is nothing?"

After all the calculations, Victor found that he had too few cards in his hands! On this Greenland island where there are occasional high-level mages, mid-level mages go everywhere, low-level mages are like dogs, and mage apprentices run all over the island, he is simply a small role to be dispensed with.

Once conflicts intensify and turmoil occurs, Victor on the overseas islands will have nowhere to escape.

"What should I do?"

Victor activated his talent "data analysis" and repeatedly deduced the current problem.

Until late at night, Victor, who was overloaded with his brain, finally got a plan with the highest survival rate: "Under the premise that the strength cannot be improved quickly, all kinds of magic equipment, weapons, alchemy products... have become the first choice. In addition, We also need to find suitable partners, necessary hiding places, and gather enough information..."

The tired Victor lay on the bed, falling asleep with all kinds of thoughts.

Early the next morning, Victor, who had no teaching task, hurriedly left the Einsed School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and took the fastest airship to the floating city'Sistir'.

The fifth floor of the Tower of Babel, Master Trading Center.

Victor wandered around in this large supermarket-like trading place, looking for his own magic equipment and several necessary alchemical raw materials.

"This gentleman, do you have a robe of a junior mage in the shop?"

"What? Two arcane points for this cheapest standard robe? Can't it be cheaper?"

"..."

"Excuse me, how did you sell this staff?"

"Five arcane points??"

"..."

"Hello, I want to buy some alchemy materials, is there a complete range in the store?"

"Huh? Only Arcane Points can be used for trading?"

"..."

Victor spent a whole morning clearing all the arcane points, but only bought a black classical mage robe, on which the three-ring spell "Defensive Energy Damage Shield" that can be used once a day is constant; And a magic ring in the style of a cat's eye, on which the second-ring spell "scorching rays" that can be used three times a day is fixed on it.

"The poor one..."

Victor laughed mockingly. He hadn't bought any alchemy materials, so he could only make plans.

"The attack method is too single, and the killing power is far from enough. The most important thing is that the constant spell on magic equipment has a limit on the number of times it can be used."

Victor, who returned to the teacher’s apartment, racked his brains to think about how to defend himself, "Which spell is my best? "Projectile items" and "Mage armor". Defensive spells are not mentioned for the time being, I should How to do it in order to play the role of the zero circle spell of'projectile items'? Alchemy products."

After thinking about it, Victor found that the spell he was best at would be useless without the combination of alchemy products.

"Since I can't get the alchemy products in this world, can it work if I replace them with dangerous chemical products in the previous life?"

Do as he thinks of it, Victor used his status as a teacher and plunged into the magic laboratory in the academy.

"Vacuum circle... Urine... Isolate air heating..."

Victor, with a serious face, carefully operated the magic equipment in the laboratory. He kept chanting: "Huh? It failed again! Is it because the airtightness of the equipment is not good enough? Or is it heating the magic array? The temperature provided does not meet the requirements?"

If there are people engaged in chemistry here, you can tell at a glance, Victor's experiment at this moment is exactly the extraction process of "white phosphorus".

white phosphorus

That's right! The "ammunition" that Victor tailored for the spell "Projectile Objects" is exactly the "white phosphorous bomb" that was banned in the previous life.
