I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 237 (Patreon)

Chapter 237: Anthony: Are you Lynn Maxwell?

"This is the answer to electricity and magnetism—I call it the Maxwell equations!" Lynn's indifferent voice echoed beyond time and space.

Anthony's gaze firmly locked onto the complex series of mathematical formulas in front of him. Without annotations or explanations, he couldn't discern the meaning behind each symbol.

Yet, the intricate mathematical equations and Lynn's words convinced him that profound electromagnetic theories were embedded within.

"Maxwell's equations..." Anthony murmured softly. He understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch; it was time for him to give back!

However, Anthony couldn't fathom what knowledge he possessed that could rival the ultimate answer in electromagnetic magic.

Was it a formula converting magical power into lightning? Or a study of thunder magic's insights? Or perhaps alchemical runes that could manipulate lightning and magnetism...

Anthony fell into deep confusion. How could he present something so shallow?

The other thing he valued most was the entire wizarding community, but he knew right away that the "Society of Mystical Arts" only recruited elites and wouldn't regard his apprentices.

After pondering for a while, Anthony seemed to suddenly realize something. His eyes gleamed with determination as he prostrated before Lynn, his voice trembling. "Your selfless guidance—I have no way to repay it. Please allow me to become your disciple and learn the mysteries of electromagnetic magic alongside you!"

Lynn was dumbfounded. He dangled the Maxwell equations as bait, hoping to exchange them for Anthony's research findings on thunder magic. After all, Anthony had developed the Hexa-Ring Thunder Magic, and surely, he had unique insights into the principles of magical and electromagnetic conversion.

But he never expected Anthony, an old dog, to propose becoming his student.

Unbeknownst to Lynn, after Anthony had seen Faraday cages, understood the principles of thunder generation, and examined planetary magnetic fields, he had lost all confidence in his research results.

Apart from an equal exchange, the only way Anthony could think of to continue receiving explanations from Lynn was through a master-disciple relationship!

Regarding age... Anthony wouldn't judge by appearances. He was aware that some immensely powerful witches typically used unicorn blood and essence of magewood to brew a special alchemical potion to maintain their optimal appearance.

So, Anthony speculated that the other party was most likely an artful grand wizard, perhaps even a legendary wizard who enjoyed acting younger than their actual age...

After all, knowledge reserves couldn't be faked. Moreover, considering the wizard before him possessed control over this cosmic projection, a daring idea sparked in Anthony's mind.

This person was the key figure summarizing the electromagnetic theory, one of the high-ranking members of the "Society of Mystical Arts"— Lynn Maxwell!

Only the originator of this theory had the qualification to impart this equation representing electromagnetic magic to another person!

Realizing this, Anthony unreservedly set aside his so-called dignity, pleading to become Lynn's disciple. Perhaps in his lifetime, there might be a chance for him to break through the Hexa-Ring Wizardry, or even glimpse into a higher realm—the realm of legends!

After a brief moment of astonishment, Lynn quickly regained composure. Neither agreeing nor refusing, a faint smile played on his lips. "It's too early to talk about that now. Let's wait until you've learned all these mathematical basics..."

"This is the foundation for learning Maxwell's equations!" Lynn spoke as countless dots reappeared in the void, transforming into a myriad of complex symbols and formulas.

Solid geometry formulas, curve equations, limits... Countless calculus equations and theorems almost filled every corner around.

Yes, learning the Maxwell equations required calculus as a prerequisite, which was a trap Lynn had intentionally set.

To study this electromagnetic equation, one needed to start with calculus. It was a lengthy process.

Yet, through this, he could exchange for Anthony's years of research. When Anthony truly began learning the Maxwell equations, Lynn's own abilities would have reached another level, rendering the exchange inconsequential.

However, Anthony was astute. Lynn didn't mind expediting this process!

With a thought, these equations suspended in the void surged toward Anthony, transforming back into dots and melding into his body. He was ready to make an attempt!

Anthony immediately sensed something assaulting his brain. After a moment's hesitation, he released his constructed mental defenses.

A vast amount of unfamiliar knowledge flooded into his mind, momentarily dazing Anthony as he immersed himself in these intricate mathematical formulas and symbols.

It worked!

Lynn's eyes flickered. Previously, when he learned that the Brainiac could break through others' mental defenses and mobilize computational power, he pondered whether he could engrave some knowledge into someone else's mind.

It seemed possible now.

However, this didn't mean he could instantly make someone grasp certain knowledge; at most, it accelerated the process.

Knowing and mastering were two different things!

This method was akin to forcibly stuffing the contents of a book into someone's mind. To truly understand, it required slow learning and research.

...

About ten minutes later, Anthony's consciousness broke free from the magical domain. Several scholars and wizards who had been waiting nearby immediately surrounded him.

"Teacher... how are you? Are you alright?" Flora asked with great concern. Shortly after activating that ring, Anthony's expression started changing drastically, and his body seemed to tremble, looking quite unwell.

"I'm fine, no, I'm extremely well!" Anthony stood up from his seat, his face filled with excitement. At this moment, he didn't resemble an old man with graying hair; his entire being seemed infused with new vigor.

Flora and the others were taken aback by Anthony's excessive reaction. Following that, they sensed a strong surge of magical power emanating from him.

Arcs of electricity began manifesting around Anthony, and metallic objects in the chamber trembled as if drawn by some force, rapidly flying toward him.

Amidst intense thunderclaps, iron spoons, ornaments, sword edges began distorting and dissolving under temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees and the influence of magnetic fields...

Anthony's magical energy surged, escalating continuously, surpassing his previous levels, reaching a new plateau...
