Once the Second Defense officially began, the entire debate hall fell silent.
Following the order arranged in advance, a female student from an ordinary magic academy stepped onto the platform.
She looked a little nervous, gripping the edges of her manuscript with both hands, her knuckles slightly white.
After taking a deep breath, she began explaining her understanding of the topic, "An analysis of the applications and limitations of elemental resonance theory in actual combat."
"Elemental resonance theory describes the phenomenon in which magic power of two or more different attributes resonates at specific frequencies, greatly enhancing the power of magic."
"In actual combat, the most common application is a combination of fire and wind-the wind element accelerates the spread of the fire element, creating a large burning area."
She paused, then continued:
"To take my own research as an example, in narrow terrain, fire-based elemental resonance can be used to create a high-temperature barrier, restricting the enemy's movement while teammates attack from the flanks. In theory, this tactic can effectively reduce the space available to the enemy and give our side an advantage."
"In addition, during defensive battles, resonance between earth and wind can stir up dust to obscure the enemy's vision, covering our retreat or a surprise attack..."
She took roughly seven or eight minutes to finish her presentation.
Its overall structure was fairly complete, and its logic reasonably clear. Although there were no particularly outstanding points, at least there were no obvious flaws.
When she finished her last sentence, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of that relief appearing on her face.
Before she could fully relax, however, Professor Grace, seated in the center of the judging panel, spoke:
"Your presentation is sound on a theoretical level, but there is a serious error in
