Yin Zidian

Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?
Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.
Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.
But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws.
The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason!
The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together.
Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

The vine whips kept breaking so often that the warriors attending the class secretly nicknamed Xial "Another One" behind his back.


Because every time Winters broke a vine whip, Xial would immediately hand him a new one.


Tamas, Bart Xialing, Samujin... They were all made into "Centurions" by Winters through relentless beatings with the vine whip.


Since a crash course accounting school could be set up, setting up a crash course military school didn't seem too difficult either.


The more Winters thought about it, the more elated he became.


"We must have an Infantry Department! I'll be the headmaster," Winters muttered to himself as he wrote on the paper, "The Cavalry Department is a must, too! Andre, well... let's have Bard do it. Artillery Department, Senior Mason! Even though we don't have a single cannon right now..."


Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery, the classic triad of the Ned Smith military system.
