Supreme Magus novel Chapter 126

Lith’s mind immediately went to Soluspedia, accessing the contents of Professor Rudd’s book to assess how serious was their predicament.

"What the heck is going on?" Friya was never far away from Quylla.

"All the failed dimensional spells have made the space in the class unstable." Quylla beat Lith on time, explaining the root of the matter.

"Normally it would never happen, since space reconfigures itself after a while. But because in a short time frame, hundreds, if not thousands of spells have been cast, order turned into chaos, making it possible.

The badly folded space wants to revert to normal, but it’s too crumpled. Different spells are still lingering in the air, interacting together. If it keeps up like this, the whole training hall will turn into a huge fireball."

"What? Can’t you dumb it down for me?" Like anyone without Soluspedia, Friya was still at the basics, completely oblivious that over bending space was like lighting a match in a coal mine.

"Don’t cross the streams!" Lith blurted out.

"What streams?" Quylla looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I mean... Friya, opening a Warp Steps is like folding a piece of paper. Two extremities separated in space can temporarily overlap, before going back to normal, like a spring.

What’s happening is that multiple pieces of paper are colliding between them, but since it’s not paper but energy, it will explode!"

"That’s why dimensional magic is taught only in academies." Quylla chimed in.

"All the training halls have specific protective arrays, to prevents things like this from occurring. Students are bound to mess up, especially on difficult subjects. But according to Professor Rudd, they must have been turned off!"

Right after saving the dumb student from his own idiocy, Rudd took out his communication amulet to call for help. Only then he realised that using a dimensional spell hadn’t been his brightest moment.

New cracks started to appear in the points he had Blinked through, spreading to the nearest ones until they formed a rough circle.

Inwardly cursing, Rudd threw the amulet to the closest student. Then he focused all his attention attempting to fix his mistake, that was about to generate a black hole big enough to destroy the training hall if not the whole academy.

"Rudd, unless this is important, I’d like to postpone." Linjos’ image appeared from the amulet. He seemed to be swamped in paperwork, his usually tidy desk had turned into a battlefield.

"I’m not Professor Rudd, Headmaster." The student managed to say despite quite some stuttering.

"Who are you and how you managed to fake his call? Impersonating a Professor is a criminal offense, young man." Hearing a squeaky voice, Linjos finally raised his head, realizing something was off.

"I’m not impersonating anyone!" He squealed.

"The Professor gave it to me because..."

"Because?" The student had no idea what was happening or how to describe it.

"Because we need help! Cracks in the air, explosions and something about not wearing protections!"

"What?!" Linjos could not make head or tails of it.

"Give me that, you dimwit!" Lith used a mix of air and spirit magic to rip the amulet off his sweaty hands, explaining everything properly to the Headmaster.

Linjos turned pale, but reacted promptly.

"I can reactivate the protections from my office, but that will not help with your situation. Has any of you already learned Restoration?"

It was an advanced dimensional magic spell, developed exactly for situations like that. It was capable of restoring the natural order of things, dispersing the accumulated energy safely.

Linjos’ eyes were actually fixated on Lith. He had proved to be excellent in everything, and that gave Linjos the hope he could pull another of his miracles.
