As a Mage, I Only Want to Pursue Truth

A mage accidentally drifts to Blue Star. The intelligent life on Blue Star cannot influence reality by manipulating dark matter, thus the mage loses their casting ability.

In order to recover...

Chapter 201 Slap in the Face

"As expected of Professor Mochizuki."

"Then I'd like to ask if this is the only way to acquire magic? Are there magic academies in Japan or other countries?"

Shinichi Mochizuki: "At least based on what we know so far, magoin is the only way to obtain magic."

"Magic academies only exist in literature and film. Not only in Japan, but also in other countries, there is no such organization as a magic academy."

"There may be more ways to acquire magic in the future."

Sho Sakurai: "I'd also like to ask Professor Mochizuki, what's it like to have superpowers?"

With a wave of his hand, Shinichi Mochizuki saw the cup that was placed a meter away from him move into his hand.

"It's a feeling that's hard to describe in words; you'll feel completely different from who you were in the past."

"It's as if there was a membrane in front of you before, and you saw the world through the refraction of this membrane."

"After gaining magic, the membrane is broken, and the real world is no longer an obstacle in your eyes."

"It is the evolution and rebirth of life."

Shinichi Mochizuki's casual display made Sho Sakurai extremely envious.

As an actor, he perfectly captured the emotion of envy.

He was genuinely envious: "Wow! Professor Mochizuki, was that move just now the traditional Mage's Hand from D&D?"

"It's so cool! After listening to Professor Mochizuki's explanation, I have a whole new longing for magic."

"Magic is not just about superpowers, but also represents a new understanding of the world."

Shinichi Mochizuki nodded and said, "That's right."

Sakurai Sho felt even more respect for Mochizuki Shinichi, and he continued to ask:

"Professor, I'd like to ask you, after becoming a magician, do you feel that you are no longer the same species as ordinary people?"

"In movies and TV shows, some people who have superpowers often believe that they are a higher species."

Shinichi Mochizuki shook his head and said, "No, being a magician is just a profession."

"Just like when I graduated with my PhD from Princeton at the age of 23, the PhD only broadened my horizons, it doesn't mean I'm not an ordinary person."

Shinichi Mochizuki's doctoral advisor was Faltings, who was also a highly accomplished scholar.

"Being a magician is just a profession; it has broadened my understanding of the world."

"This doesn't mean I'm not an ordinary person."

......

After NHK broadcast Shinichi Mochizuki's interview, many Japanese people questioned him on Twitter about why he didn't know what he was talking about.

They had just claimed that there were no magicians in Japan when the official Japanese television station produced an interview program to refute their claim.
