Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 154

After hearing what Gray Mage Lursk said, the magic students seated at the last row were all shocked.

They did not expect for their seemingly virtuous and prestigious, dangerous even, professors to possess such strange hobbies in private.

“Even if there are a lot of discussions that had nothing to do with academics in the Owl Penpal Society, that is one of the reasons why the Penpal Society would exist...”

Gray Mage Lursk ripped apart the Owl Penpal Society’s bright and neat semblance. He reminded everyone that even though the Penpal Society was a ‘magic research’ society in name, it was, in truth, merely a bunch of mages gathered together discussing things that they didn’t dare speak about in public life.

“Of course, the reason why the Owl Penpal Society existed is for us to communicate through it. But, it had a much more relaxed atmosphere than that ‘Sage Parliament’ held by that white robed old man.”

As the founder of the Owl Penpal Society, Gray Mage Lursk cannot deny the contribution the Owl Penpal Society had brought about throughout the years.

“In that case, why are you disbanding the Owl Penpal Society?!”

More and more people began to raise that question. Among the people gathered here were some of the most unsettled mages in Norland.

Faced with the emotional response from the mages in the classroom, Gray Mage Lursk was forced to take a hard-lined and direct measure to calm them.

Using magic, he directly materialized what he was seeing. A purely white programming window was before his eyes.

The owl feather controlled by the Runes of Order wiped clean the text that was previously above the room. Then, with a wave, a new series of words appeared.

Mage Forum.

“This is the reason why I’m disbanding the Owl Penpal Society.”

The Gray Mage’s voice was clearing echoing in the ears of every mage present.

This morning, Gray Mage Lursk received a letter from an owl. The content of the letter was extremely simple. It told him to crush apart the originium crystal included with the letter using his hand. The sender was the same Chaos Demon he met on the World Expo.

After Gray Mage Lursk spent over an hour examining the use of the Mage Forum, he wrote letters to gather all the members of the Owl Penpal Society to a final conference.

“This is the Holy Light System’s... Advisory Magic?”

Several mages immediately thought of a similar magic that sends information to others.

“Advisory Magic? This thing here is much greater than that Advisory Magic. It is greater than any and all magics available now. Even those forbidden magics able to control an entire battle would not be able to match it.”

Gray Mage tapped into a sub-forum, a discussion board on the Mage Forum called ‘Magic Research.’ There were only three posts there.

One of the posts had a shocking title: ‘On how to construct a communication method far superior to letters.’

“That... that is the topic of the Owl Penpal Society’s 257th discussion!”

A mage recognized the familiar headline. That was a discussion topic Gray Mage Lursk wrote to the Owl Penpal Society before.

“I’ve already explained the flaws of letter transmission in that discussion. Letters could suffer damages during delivery or even be lost. Whenever a letter containing a topic of discussion disappears, it will be a bitter loss for us.”

Suddenly, an extremely old and damaged letter appeared in the Gray Mage’s hand.

That letter was eroded by rain water and corroded by dust. Right now, one could only barely see the badly damaged content from a dried and yellowed corner of that letter...’Owl Penpal Society’s 72nd...’”

“But, such issues do not exist in this all-new communication method called ‘Mage Forum....’”

Gray Mage swept his gaze across all the people present.

“You all can continue to pretend to be women and deceive the pure and innocent mage apprentices, can continue to give out dangerous alchemy formulas or ridicule someone’s experimental failure! You can continue to do all of that on the forum! That forum is the all-new communication method that I desired for. In fact, it can even be said to be a completely new world.”

Right after the Gray Mage Lursk finished making his speech, a ner reply appeared on the post he was using to serve as an example.

The person who replied was called ‘Belle Learner.’ The content: ‘Wait, wait, wait a minute. What do you mean by pretending to be girls?”

The new reply was noticed by all the people present.

Professor Viper’s expression turned extremely stiff. It was as if he was about to show his venomous fangs at any moment. The mages present surveyed all around the classroom.

Evidently, the person who asked that question was someone present in the classroom. Unfortunately, they cannot determine who it was through that strange name ‘Belle Learner.’

‘Sansa... aren’t you afraid that Professor Viper will continue to knock points off your anti-curse magic course grades?’

Hyrlan immediately found the culprit. She began to use the virtual keyboard to type to her friend, advising her to not court a disaster for herself.

‘Didn’t the End User License Agreement said that this is a world where everyone is equal? Besides, none of them knew who I am.’

That was the only portion of the End User License Agreement that Sansa bothered to read.

‘The End User License Agreement also stated that if one is to express and spread dangerous remarks or insult other people’s circumstances, one could be potentially banned and have their rights to log into the magic network be forever stripped. It might even be possible for one’s reputation in the real world to be affected by it too.’

Even though Hyrlan has only interacted with Joshua for a short period of time, she was certain that the Chaos Demon Joshua would hold firm the authority and control of this world since he was the creator.

While it was true that humans would all be equal in this new virtual magic network world. But, this equal-ness does not hold true for the god that created this world.

Sansa’s reply, a reply that was meant to only cause more trouble, had fully revealed to the crowd present that the discussions on the Mage Forum were instantaneous!

They no longer needed to send letters like they did in the Owl Penpal Society. They would not have to wait for a month to half a year in order to receive a new reply.

They would be able to receive a new reply on the Mage Forum in minutes.

“Well then, does anyone else have any objection? But, even if there are objections, it is still time for the Owl Penpal Society to disband. I am going to give my old partners a vacation so that they can rest themselves.”

With the appearance of the Mage Forum, the Owl Penpal Society’s existence was rendered meaningless.

Gray Mage Lursk let out a sigh. Like how the horse carriages would one day be replaced by those magic-propelled vehicles, letters would one day become an object of the past too.

Right after the Gray Mage Lursk let out a sigh, a whole new post appeared on the forum.

‘Owl Penpal Registration Post.’ Poster: Firebringer.

When the mages in the classroom saw that post, they all stood up without saying anything.

“Lursk, after all this, you’ve still yet to tell us how to use this forum.”

“Wait a moment...”

Gray Mage Lursk raised his hand to tell them to calm themselves. He tapped into the new post. After reading the post written by Firebringer, he immediately sent a ‘register’ reply and successfully became the first replier to that post.
