CHAPTER 134
Formation Magic Class
The CPR training dummy looked similar to the mannequins used on Earth, but its head was cut off at the neck as if it had been decapitated.
At first it seemed strange, but when the teaching assistants cast a spell, a translucent human head illusion appeared above it.
Seeing the semi-transparent projection actually made things easier to understand.
“Now then, we will teach you how to handle this physically.”
The assistants stepped forward and demonstrated how to secure the airway, along with artificial respiration and chest compression techniques.
As expected of the talented students of Dunais Academy, they quickly picked it up just by watching once and following along.
“Then let us simulate magical accidents.”
The illusion of the dummy began to change.
Moments ago it had been someone unconscious from drowning, but now it transformed into far more horrifying scenarios—someone choking on vomit after inhaling poison gas, someone whose tongue had rolled back due to a heavy impact and blocked the airway, someone bleeding internally with blood filling their lungs…
Grotesque, dreadful images unfolded one after another.
“These are accidents you may encounter while practicing magic. They differ from simple suffocation, so you must learn various methods of response accordingly.”
“….”
The students were horrified at the gruesome scenes.
So this… means we could end up like that?
Inhaling poison gas is common? That has to be a joke… right? But we did encounter a gremlin on the way here. This academy doesn’t care about student safety at all.
The tuition is already expensive… but I’d rather pay more and learn magic safely. Now I understand why seniors leave for the Azure Tower after the beginner course.
Seeing the tragic illusions crushed the students’ morale.
“In such cases, if you fail to clear the airway, the patient will die even if treated. The problem is that casting magic inside the airway is extremely difficult due to high magic resistance.
If it were easy to target inside the human body, why would we bother using complicated offensive spells? You could disable someone instantly just by placing something inside their airway.
But precisely because of this, removing obstructions is extremely difficult. Therefore, we must use forms of magic that can withstand magic resistance.”
Lakiaas projected the structure of the spell into the air like a magical chalkboard, and the assistants demonstrated.
At the tips of their wands, transparent tubes formed. They manipulated and reshaped these tubes freely, inserting them into the patient’s mouth to remove obstructions and secure the airway.
“This is a low-level spiritual formation technique. It does not easily dissolve against magic resistance, yet it is neither too rigid nor sharp, so it won’t damage the airway.
It cannot form weapons, but it can temporarily create various tools. As you see, it is useful not only for emergency treatment but for many different situations.
It is a highly versatile spell, so it is best to learn it now.
Now then, everyone, try it yourselves.
The activation phrase is ‘hyung-sung-hara!’”
Lakiaas began writing the spell structure while teaching the incantation.
‘So it means “form it.” Hmm… that pronunciation is going to be difficult for people here.’
Indeed, while it was easy for Idnia, the others struggled just to pronounce it properly.
On top of that, the spell structure drawn in the air was far from simple.
“Isn’t it too much to expect newly enrolled students to use such a difficult spell inside the human body where magic resistance is strong?”
“In the Azure Tower, we first make students memorize the activation phrase. Once the pronunciation is correct, everything else follows naturally. Why waste effort on structure theory?”
“While it may raise the upper limit of mastery… wouldn’t it be better to focus on actually using the spell first?”
The Azure Tower mages, as if here to advertise, began promoting their practical teaching methods over the academy’s approach.
“….”
Lakiaas fell silent as they openly disrupted the class.
Unlike the other professors of Dunais Academy, who were known for their fierce tempers, Lakiaas remained strangely calm.
“Well….”
“Hmm.”
Most students were indeed failing to even pronounce the incantation.
Only a few like Sendia, Christian, and Pacifier succeeded instantly due to prior learning. Even Marie struggled.
“Out of 32 students, only three succeeded. How can you proceed at this rate?”
“You should focus on making them use the spell first instead of teaching theory simultaneously.”
“This is one of the more difficult beginner spells. Teaching it through structure rather than incantation will only discourage students early on.”
The Azure Tower mages continued criticizing openly.
The students felt conflicted.
We can’t really answer that…
Why is the professor asking us?
Still… what they’re saying makes sense.
Just practicing the incantation alone feels overwhelming already…
At that moment, Idnia cast her spell.
“Form it!”
A cylindrical tube appeared from her wand.
At first glance it looked similar to the assistants’, but hers began to transform freely, swirling like a vortex.
“What?!”
Everyone was astonished—especially Lakiaas.
“Incredible… such a perfect incantation. It’s as if you are a person from ancient times.”
Well, she was Korean.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Test it on the dummy.”
“Yes.”
Idnia approached the dummy and inserted the tube into the mouth of one whose tongue had rolled back, reshaping it to pull the tongue forward and secure the airway.
Then, for one bleeding internally, she transformed the tube into a pump, extracting the blood while sealing the wound.
For another choking on vomit, she suctioned it out to clear the airway.
Even the assistants were visibly startled by her performance.
She’s incredibly skilled.
That formation tube moves so freely…
That dummy has strong magic resistance, doesn’t it? Most mages couldn’t manipulate it like that inside the body.
Wait, she’s even creating suction without casting another spell?
Amazing…
As expected of a duke’s daughter. Did she study in advance?
Idnia, however, remained calm.
Being originally from Earth, she could pronounce the incantation perfectly. She was already accustomed to shape manipulation through shield magic, and her base talent was extraordinary.
Her natural abilities, combined with knowledge from Earth, made her far more capable than the original Idnia.
The professor applauded.
“Excellent work. Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Tyrant Yurik.”
“I’ve just practiced shape manipulation with other spells.”
“That aside, you are clearly experienced in emergency treatment.”
Of course—CPR and first aid weren’t things people in this world would normally know.
‘I only learned this from workplace safety training… but it looks like something extraordinary here.’
Idnia felt slightly awkward at the excessive praise.
“I must note, however, that only four out of 32 students can properly perform shape transformation.”
“What kind of unreasonable institution is this?”
“As expected, the Azure Tower is superior.”
The visiting mages started making noise again.
At that moment, Lakiaas finally raised his wand.
“I see. Since you all have more experience than the students, perhaps you would demonstrate properly?”
“Of course.”
Confident, they stepped forward. Some immediately cast the formation spell.
“Hi-Eung-Sung-HARA!”
The pronunciation wasn’t perfect, but it was a refined version adapted to this world’s language system.
Seeing them succeed easily, the students were impressed.
If I say it like that… I might manage it too.
But then Lakiaas smiled.
“You are far more advanced than the students. Surely you wouldn’t practice on mannequins? Let us try a real situation.”
“…What?”
At that instant, Lakiaas cast his spell.
Half of the Azure Tower mages suddenly clutched their throats, coughing violently as water poured from their mouths.
“Water summoning?! But how—inside the body?!”
The remaining mages were horrified.
“What are you waiting for? If you do not act immediately, your colleagues will die.”
“!!!!”
