06 - Who is your friend?

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

What Neo didn't expect is that while he was sitting with the boys at the cafeteria table, more and more people would gather in curiosity to see so many people clustered together looking at a screen of transparent magic.

Initially there were only one or two curious people approaching, but when they saw that weird magical game the boys were playing, they stayed to see how it worked.

People who were used to just playing boring card games, now saw in front of them a magical game where one could compete with another person in a much more frantic and animated way.

"Damn, this game is awesome! Look, he's moving that bar to protect himself from the opponent just using the magic frequency!" A boy with dark skin said excitedly as he watched the game Fatty and Mike were having up close.

"Yes! I didn't know about this game, by any chance was it released after school started? I can't stand playing cards or reading books anymore, I even thought I would die of boredom at school." Another boy responded excitedly.

"No, this game hasn't been released yet, actually it was a first year who made this game, his name is Neo Parker. Apparently he did it last night while he was bored in the bedroom with that chubby one." One of the students at the table initially explained to the people who had just arrived, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

They were still learning to write lines of code for the spells, but meanwhile one of the first year students had already made a game like this just because he was bored?!

The number of people around the table grew more and more, to the point that even the girls were curious about what was going on.

"Hey, why are so many kids gathered at a table screaming so loud?" A girl asked a little angrily. She wasn't the kind of person to wake up in a good mood, and seeing other people so happy so soon made her even angrier.

"I don't know, whenever one of them gets there he gets a startled face and looks for a closer place to see something. The problem is that there are so many people around that you can't even see what they're doing if we don't get close. " Another girl said a little helplessly. She was also curious, but she didn't want to approach so many boys to see what they were seeing, afraid it would be something shameful.

"By any chance... are they seeing something perverted?!" The first girl practically screamed in rage.

"That... I don't think it's impossible, even though the school forbids it, some seniors have said that some first year boys always try to bring it hidden with their personal belongings." The other girl said in disgust.

"That…how about we call one of the inspectors to look at what they're doing?" The first girl said with a little doubt, but with a very mischievous smile on her face.

"Hmm... I think it's a good idea hehe." The other girl quickly agreed.

Neo had a big grin on his face as he watched the other boys cheering and yelling at each other, even taking a gamble to decide who would win the game.

They were amazed at how well Fatty played that game, while Mike had lost a point after failing to catch a ball that came fast, Fatty had yet to concede a point.

But the speed Mike was improving in Pong was too fast. While Fatty had a solid foundation, apparently having been training in the game longer than they had, Mike was learning very fast and trying increasingly risky plays, sometimes even letting the bar stop until the last moment before moving it real fast to try. catch Fatty off guard.

At this point the boys were divided. Some rooted for Fatty for having more experience and playing more solidly, while others rooted for Mike as he was making more and more interesting plays.

But before the game could end, a loud scream came from behind the group.

"What are you guys doing here? Get out of the way, let me see what you're seeing, if it's something the school doesn't do, know everyone will be penalized, and the owner of this thing could get a three-day suspension." An older woman's voice rose loudly around the boys.

Hisss.... The boys sucked in a breath of cold air as they made their way for the inspector to pass and see it.

Some even left there running for her not to know that they were also there watching this scene happening.

However, Fatty and Mike were apparently so engrossed in the game that they didn't hear the woman screaming, continuing the game as if nothing had happened.

Next to the inspector, two girls had sneers on their faces, looking at each of these students and trying to record their faces, thinking of them as disgusting perverts who couldn't control their heads below, don't want to relate to them in the future.

But as soon as the boys cleared a path for the three women to pass, what was in front of them was something they didn't even imagine.

"What is it...?" The inspector was confused. These two lovely students came to her saying that there were boys possibly seeing obscene things in the school canteen, which made her furious, but she never imagined that actually, among all the boys, there was actually a magical projection screen, probably coming from that magic card they held.

Hearing her question, no one answered, which made her even angrier. "Quick, someone explain to me what this is?!"

Seeing the inspector's anger, one of the boys thought quickly and quickly began to explain. "This is a spell developed by a first year student, he was bored and wanted to do it for fun. When we saw it we were also curious and came to take a closer look at how this spell worked."

Hearing his explanation, the inspector frowned. "So are you all here to understand how this spell worked?" She asked dubiously.

The boy nodded his head repeatedly as he said. "Yes Inspector, we just wanted to see this spell, but when we saw it, we thought it was so cool that we also wanted to try it out and see how it worked."

"Hmm..." The inspector looked at Fatty and Mike who were using the spell and continued to watch curiously.

Meanwhile, the two girls beside the inspector had red cheeks with embarrassment. They thought the boys were just seeing obscene things, but were they actually studying a spell? Since when were these boys so interested in studying?!

The ball in front of the screen was moving too fast, to the point that Fatty and Mike's reflexes were no longer able to keep up, until in the end Fatty confused what mana frequency he should use and ordered the bar to go to something wrong, causing him to lose a point, leaving the game tied at 1-1\.

"Damn it!" Fatty yelled.

"Yeaaaaah!" Mike also shouted excitedly.

But when they realized that everything around was silent, they both felt that there was something wrong there. While they were playing it was a lot of noise, but now no one was saying anything?

When they both turned and saw the inspector looking directly at them, they both unconsciously gulped and thought they might be in trouble.

"Inspector, we..." Fatty said.

"That…I'm sorry." Mike said.

But before they could say any more, the inspector opened a warm smile on her face and said in a friendly voice. "Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong, but can I ask you something?

"Of course, of course, you can ask whatever you want, Inspector, it will be my honor to answer." Fatty was quicker and responded.

Seeing the attitude of these students, the inspector was satisfied. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, can I take a look at this spell?"

Hearing the inspector, Fatty first looked at Neo and asked with his eyes if he could, but when Neo nodded, Fatty handed the Card to the inspector, cutting off the mana distribution and making the screen go blank.

When the inspector looked at the card labeled "Pong" she raised an eyebrow. The design on the card was simple, just the name Pong and a checkered drawing of those images that appeared on the screen while the boys were using it.

But when she thought about what the boys were doing, and how this spell worked, she knew that while it looked simple, building this type of spell was far from simple.

Just that transparent screen projection was already an advanced level spell, which needed at least 50 to 100 lines of code to perform, not to mention that this spell apparently read the mana frequency to perform a certain action, as well as the spell " Notebook", making her a little suspicious that a first-year student actually did it.

This doubt of hers intensified even more as it mixed with shock as she looked at the back of the card and saw that she couldn't read any of those lines.

She was a renowned school inspector, perhaps not as powerful as the teacher wizards, but she was a Pico 2 Star wizard herself, nothing that students who had just entered school, who didn't even qualify as true 1 Star wizards, could to compare.

But even she couldn't read the back of that magic card, which could only mean one thing, it was encrypted. Since when did students learn cryptography? Since when was it so easy to encrypt something? She herself still had difficulty encrypting the spells she had developed, but in front of her was a card apparently made by a first-year student who had already learned and performed better encryption than hers? No, this encryption managed to be even better than the encryptions she had seen in 3 Star spells.

"Did you make this Card?" The inspector looked at Fatty while raising her eyebrows in suspicion.

"No, Inspector, I got this as a gift from a friend. He made it for me." Fatty answered honestly. He was still very happy with this gift his friend had made.

"Who is your friend, is he by any chance a 3 Star mage? Or even a 4 Star mage?!" She asked amazed that this seemingly simple chubby could have such a powerful background.

"No no, I come from an aristocratic family, I was just lucky to awaken mana when I was younger. My parents are just merchants, I've never had any contact with someone so powerful." Fatty answered honestly.

"So who is your friend?" The inspector asked once more.

"It's me." Neo replied in a calm voice.
