Chapter 217: Chapter 204: Lydia: We’ve Made the Magic Internal Combustion Engine! (Please Subscribe)
After being closed for a month and a half due to the tragic event in the southern city and the hosting of the Magic Seminar, the academy had reopened.
“I really miss this ce, haven’t been here for many years, right?” Albert gazed around at everything in the academy that was both familiar and strange, and spoke with emotion.
He had never thought that one day he would step into this ce again as a student, attending sses in the same academy as his son.
Although it felt somewhat ufortable, Albert still came, not so much to learn a lot, but hoping to form some connections with the talented Mr. Lynn.
Like Albert, there were many others who shared the same thought, so the returning official Wizards numbered two hundred, and there were even more Wizard Apprentices. Due to therge number of people and only one teacher, Lynn had to teach in batches.
“Good afternoon, wee back to the academy, I am Lynn, the new headmaster of the Yi’er Academy!” Lynn stood at the podium, looking at the Wizards filling the ssroom, and smiled in greeting.
“It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lynn,” Albert was the first to stand up and respond in kind.
The Wizards present also quickly got up and greeted, not solely because of the professor-student rtionship, but now they were also facing the leader of the Yi’er School of thought.

“Please, sit down, all of you are official Wizards, and I presume you already have unique insights into magic. The course I am offering only intends to discuss the elementalws I have understood and formted for everyone to explore, I call it ‘chemistry’…”
Lynn did not act condescending despite his status, and immediately had the fairies distribute the textbooks.
Albert curiously looked at the beautifully covered textbook in front of him, the entire book being made of special white paper. He turned to the first page, where the foreword was written in vigorous and strong script— “Chemistry is a natural science that studies theposition, structure, properties, transformation, and applications of substances at the atomic and molecr levels.”
“Headmaster Lynn, what do these ‘atoms’ and ‘molecules’ mean?” a male Wizard asked with some confusion.
“Atoms are the smallest particles that make up simple substances andpound molecules, also known as elements,” Lynn began to exin. “Molecules, on the other hand, are made up of atoms, and are the smallest particles of chemical reactions…”
Lynn raised his hand, and a small sphere of water quickly appeared before everyone, “For instance, water is made up of many water molecules, the elements that make it up are hydrogen and oxygen… The chemical form is H2O, also known as dihydrogen monoxide…”
“Aren’t those Yi’er and F?” a faint murmuring discussion arose from the audience, these were the names used in Wizard Land for the elements hydrogen and oxygen, purportedly named after two wizards who discovered them long ago.
“What do you know about the hydrogen and oxygen elements?” Lynn asked again.
“Yi’er, no, oxygen is the source of life; if a person with no magic power were ced in an oxygen-free environment, they would die quickly,” Albert mused.
For example, the third-level magic “Life Forbidden Zone” creates an oxygen-free environment that causes enemies to die in agonizing struggle.
“Both elements can be used to cast fire magic…” another Wizard also contributed.
“Apart from these?” Lynn continued to probe.
Albert frowned slightly. “Are you asking how many kinds of magic require these two elements?”
“No, I mean their chemical forms, boiling points, densities, applications, specific heats, critical temperatures…” Lynn casually spouted a string of terms that left everyone feeling dizzy.
“Take hydrogen, for example. Because of its low density, when arge amount of hydrogen is filled into an object, it can make that object float.” As Lynn spoke, she transformed arge amount of Magic Power into hydrogen, binding it around herself, and her body soon started to slowly float off the ground.
The Wizards present were all invigorated by this. Could it mean that they might be able to develop flight magic using hydrogen?
“Is the airship you made floating because of hydrogen?” Albert immediately thought of this.
“No, hydrogen is mmable. If it were used to make airships, a small ident could turn them into fireballs in the sky!” Lynn shook her head. “So, I used a different element, which I will exin in detailter.”
Subsequently, Lynn created another huge magic ball mixed with hydrogen and oxygen and thenunched it out of the window.
The Magic ball burst open under a banyan tree, releasing arge amount of gas stored inside, followed by a fireball…
A loud explosion soon rang in everyone’s ears, with mes soaring high. The poor banyan tree had been sted into two pieces, its surface pocked and scarred, with ignited fragments and leaves scattered around, and the soft ground sted into a huge crater.
The Wizards inside the ssroom all turned towards the window, utterly astonished. This already possessed the destructive power of an ordinary third-ring magic, and the casting process wasn’tplicated at all. Even a first-ring Wizard could easily perform it.
“The optimal ratio for a hydrogen-oxygen chemical reaction is two to one. At that point, just a tiny spark can cause a severe explosion, and the byproduct is water…” Lynn introduced calmly andposedly.
The Wizards in attendance hurriedly recorded this newbinative magic, finally understanding that this so-called chemistry ss was about studying the essence of elements and the principles of magic to develop new types of magic.
Albert, meanwhile, was flipping through a chemistry book in his hands, shocked by the exnations of various elements on the pages.
It appeared that the Secret Magic Society’s understanding of elements far exceeded their expectations. It wasn’t just detailed—it thoroughly researched the various properties of the elements.
What Albert didn’t know was Lynn, considering theposition of the two worlds might not be the same and still unconfirmed by experiments, hadn’t marked down factors such as atomic masses, periodic tables, electron arrangements, or atomic structures.
Lynn had started this chemistry ss also to have these Wizards help verify her findings, as research by herself was simply too slow.
Just as Lynn was about to further exin other properties of the elements, suddenly, a hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by the ssroom door being flung open.
Albert and the others looked over displeased, their deep contemtion on the nature of elements interrupted by the abrupt noise.
Who could be so inconsiderate to disturb them at such a time?
The one who hurried in turned out to be Lydia, the half-human girl with a face brimming with excitement and joy, happily eximing,
“Dean Lynn, the internalbustion engine… we’ve already made the Magic internalbustion engine!”
