Chapter 116: The Power of Combining Alchemy and Magic!

"Professor Lynn, what's the point of learning all this?" Elok asked in a soft voice, looking a bit puzzled.

Elok thought that if it was just about exercising their brains, dealing with indices, square roots, and solving equations would be torturous enough.

Lynn glanced at the equally confused group and smiled before speaking, "Haven't you all been curious about how alchemy can be combined with magic?"

"Are you going to teach us magic involving alchemy, Professor?" Deborah exclaimed in surprise.

The group of wizard apprentices eagerly looked at Lynn, their memories of the terrifying ice magic he had used on the training ground fresh in their minds. Just the residual magic from his demonstration had nearly frozen their arms. They had heard that Lynn had personally developed this unique magic.

Lydia, on the other hand, pouted and kicked the table in frustration because she was the only one among them who couldn't grasp this whole magic thing.

"In a way, you could say that!" Lynn nodded. He then asked everyone to leave the classroom and join him in a more open area.

Once everyone was in position, Lynn turned his gaze towards the Howling Tower, raised his hand, and began to calculate something.

"What are you planning, Professor? Are you going to blow up the entire Howling Tower?" Elok whispered.

"How could that be?" Pierce scoffed. The Howling Tower was the iconic landmark of Iyeta Harbor, and it couldn't just be demolished, could it?

But when Pierce saw Lynn's serious expression, he became unsure. "It can't be... right?"

Under the curious gazes of the group, twelve Magic Missiles appeared around Lynn. Then, with a whooshing sound, they streaked towards the Howling Tower.

As they watched, the disappointment on the faces of the onlookers was palpable. They had hoped for something more impressive. However, they still kept their eyes fixed on the trajectory of the Magic Missiles.

Was he planning to attack the top of the tower?

Elok looked up at the sky, but to his surprise, the trajectory of the twelve missiles followed a parabolic path, soaring over the tower's dozens of meters tall peak. They then descended downwards and disappeared from view.

The field fell into an eerie silence, and everyone's expressions turned strange. Elok and Deborah stifled their laughter.

"It should be from that direction," Dakka pointed behind him.

Elok and Deborah exchanged glances, and their expressions changed immediately because behind them stood the towering Howling Tower!

Could it be that Professor Lynn, from the Alchemy classroom, across the entire tower, covering hundreds of meters without any line of sight, accurately hit the training dummies on the training ground with Magic Missiles?

How was that possible?

"What on earth is going on?" Dakka and the others, gathered at the training ground, couldn't help but ask, looking at the surprised expressions of Elok and Deborah.

"If I'm not mistaken, this was probably done by Professor Lynn," Elok swallowed hard, his disbelief evident.

It was only now that they realized Lynn didn't want them to bring the training dummies for experimenting with magic. Instead, he wanted to take these damaged dummies back to showcase the effect!

...

At the same time, Lydia and the others waiting in front of the classroom were getting impatient.

Where were Elok and Deborah? They were just supposed to bring a few training dummies, and yet, they hadn't returned for so long. Could they be intentionally trying to watch the professor embarrass himself?

This was really mean. Pierce couldn't help but grumble in his heart. After all, the professor always liked to throw strange and difficult alchemical questions at them.

Just as he was thinking that, Pierce saw Elok and Deborah, accompanied by Dakka and a few others, approaching. Each of them was carrying two headless training dummies, which looked particularly eerie.

Without waiting for them to ask, Deborah immediately approached Lynn, her curiosity brimming. She inquired, "Professor Lynn, how on earth did you do this? It's simply unbelievable!"

"What's so unbelievable about it?" Pierce couldn't help but interrupt.

Elok didn't beat around the bush either and quickly explained what they had witnessed on the training ground. Dakka and the others also chimed in, describing how the Magic Missiles had fallen from the sky and smashed the dummies during their magic practice.
