Journal of Physics and Math for the Aspiring Magician

A book that will guide you into the mysteries of mathematics and physics, teaching from beginner to complex formulas, following the point of view of an aspiring mage from the National Academy of Magic. The author will try to unearth your desire for learning physics, math, and more, while entertaining you with an interesting and compelling story, packed with action and romance. You will follow the ups and downs of the life of a mage who fails, learns, loves and discovers. The purpose of this book is to create a compendium of math and physics, to help spread the incredible knowledge under an entertaining approach. I hope you find embarking on this journey both pleasurable and useful. ... August 25th, 3018 New Common Era. "You have previously been told that the way of creating mana particles is by assimilating with the universe... Your thoughts and wills interact with what has been commonly called dark energy, and the result is the creation of VM particles." I nodded. "Well, that's not exactly right." That sentence alarmed the entire class. Mages improved by understanding more of the world, and therefore they have to follow the scientific method and basic rationality, liking it or not. Believing in a false theory should not actually yield any significant results as far as magic goes... It's impossible to believe we had been seeing things wrongly this entire time. And worse, it could disrupt the foundations of magic that we had built over time. The professor patiently waited for the class to calm down before resuming. "That is indeed how you create mana particles, there's nothing wrong about that. However, VM particles are NOT the only type of particle that can be produced from dark energy interactions." ""Wha-!?"" "How is that even-?" A ruckus exploded once again. I could feel my naturally producing virtual particles flickering in and out of existence, as I lost control of their production. I reckon my reaction should have been one of the strongest in the class, given my degree of faith in that particular professor. The majority would only believe a disruptive theory when they saw it with their own eyes, as a protective measure against falsehoods and... side effects like mine. I temporarily stopped my unstable radiation of mana and focused on the issue at hand. The woman continued: "There are, in fact, different ways of reaching the same place. In this case, different thoughts and wills that can interact with dark energy. The ancients called it the different Daos." Some quick assumptions revealed the logic in her words. Things were starting to get acceptable, magic-wise. "That also means... that there are other ways of creating worldly interactions that would otherwise look like magic, but that aren't actually magic. At least not how we know it." Wait a second... "...And yet, the general populace call it magic none the wise." My VM particles started to quickly flicker and shimmer. "In fact, the history books call it magic, too. However, there have been many of names for this sort of... miracle. Among them..." I broke out in cold sweat. "Divine Intervention, Power of Faith, Sword Intent, Bloodlust, Killing Intent, Fear of Death..." A tense atmosphere pervailed the room. "...Those are all proven states of will that can interact with dark energy. And each and every one of their interactions differ from one another, even if just slightly." I felt my connection to magic being cut off in that moment. "You have all committed a grave mistake. To assume that our 'Path' was the only one that led to knowledge and power is to discard the very first lesson I gave you." I gulped dry. I couldn't help but feel very vulnerable at that moment, especially because her words were correct in their entirety. "In this class, I will teach you about the other paths to power. And teach you how to defend yourselves against them, so this sort of thing does not happen twice. Follow me to the practice field!"

The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

Lu Sangjiu spent over a year imprinting the innocent image of herself—often coughing up blood, delicate, and frail—into the hearts of everyone in the Seven Emotions Sect. In reality, the frequent coughing of blood was real, but she wasn't actually that delicate and frail. In the beginning, she had only one purpose for coming to the Seven Emotions Sect: to strip away the female lead Ye Zhiyao's destiny and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao! Later, looking at the simple and kind-hearted fools of her sect, she thought to herself, since it's convenient anyway, I might as well save who I can! As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat a pure white lotus is a refreshing little green tea. So, in order to compete with the female lead Ye Zhiyao, who possesses immense luck and is loved by all men, it wouldn't be too much for her to occasionally speak some "green tea" words, right? And so... Facing a demon beast, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, bravely said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about me, hurry and save Senior Sister Ye, she's more important than I am!" The hot-tempered Eldest Senior Brother stood firmly in front of her, "Nonsense! My Little Junior Sister is the most important!" Facing a scheming bitch, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, choked out: "Second Senior Sister, don't misunderstand, she wasn't bullying me, I'm not wronged at all!" The crybaby Second Senior Sister, while wiping her tears, gave her a live performance of tearing the scheming bitch apart by hand. Facing an Evil Cultivator, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, stubbornly said: "Third Senior Brother, you go first... I will definitely do my best to hold on until you bring people back to save me!" The timid Third Senior Brother mustered his courage, had a breakthrough on the spot, and crushed the Evil Cultivator! Later, Ye Zhiyao pointed her sword at Lu Sangjiu, claiming she was the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago, and that she should be killed. Everyone stood firmly in front of Lu Sangjiu, "Impossible! Little Junior Sister is too frail to withstand a gust of wind; there's no way she's the Great Demon!"

The Domineering Lady of the House

When the devastatingly beautiful and arrogant Master of the Valley of Shades dies and is reborn into a top-tier modern family. She is a queen of peerless beauty, yet cold-hearted and ruthless; she is also a master of both poison and medicine. She saves people only based on her mood; she gives her all to her friends and family; she will follow her lover through life and death, even if it means betraying the whole world. He is handsome and noble. He sees women as nothing, so cold-hearted he seems to be without a heart, appearing both demonic and divine. He is the Family Head of an ancient and mysterious family, the undisputed emperor in everyone's hearts, who wields immense power and holds the lives and deaths of others in his hands. When the cold-hearted and ruthless she meets the domineering and aloof him, will it be a clash of titans, turning them into rivals, or will the powerhouses unite, bound together through life and death? [The Pampering Snippet] Seraphina Ashworth snuggled lazily in Caden Reginald's arms, looked up at him, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Caden, they all say you've spoiled me rotten, that I'm a femme fatale who runs wild because of your backing." Caden Reginald reached out and stroked Seraphina Ashworth's long hair, saying dotingly, "Who said that? I intend to spoil you so rotten that you can't leave me. That way, you'll be mine and mine alone." Seraphina Ashworth wrapped her arms around Caden Reginald's neck and said with a smile, "You're so domineering, but I love it." After speaking, she planted a kiss on his cheek.
