A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Hah... hah..."

"To this extent? I'd like you to stick a little bit more."

"Hah... hah... it's still working..."

"Yes, then try harder."

"Yes!!

Seventh Boundary City, Exercise Area. There were two girls there. One is Sofia and the other is Ella. Sofia has been teaching Ella all sorts of magic before, but these days it's getting tougher. Aren't the people around you watching it too much? I was worried. But that's what Sofia wants. For this reason, Eira is not hesitant about the severity of training.

Sofia always thought. I was left behind... She had a definite sense of anxiety. Until now, it was a standing position of honorary students who could do without graduating from college. She was also good at it and tolerated it.

Sofia knew she was the daughter of a superior anti-magician and was talented. However, despite her talent, she was lagging behind in her efforts. I didn't feel like dying like Shelley.

Besides, Sofia lost her brother... and she had a fierce hatred of the world... and yet she couldn't take it seriously. Can you resist this world even if you're serious? Can you do something like yourself? Even my brother, far better than himself, could not resist dusk. Then what can I do?

That thought had prevented her from walking until now.

"Sofia, you're talented. After all, I feel like I'm confronting you like this. Especially among the four attributes, fire attributes are good."

"Hah... hah... is that so?

"Do you understand the characteristics of each attribute?

"Hah... well... after all..."

"There's water, ice, fire, lightning, but water and ice are matter, fire, lightning... technically, electricity. These are phenomena. Do you know exactly where they are?

"... I'm sorry, I wasn't very conscious."

"... well, they don't say much at the academy. Some of the superior anti-magicians are sensory geniuses, but I'm a theorist. Eve in the 11th place in the sequence is a sensory genius. And, Sofia, you're not as sensual as I am. So understand. What theories work to create magic?"

Yes!

First of all, water and ice. These two are substances. Substances can be divided into four main elements. Liquids, solids, gases, plasma. Plasma is an ionized gas, but not now. In other words, water is liquid and ice is solid. There is not much difficulty in magically creating matter. Just fix the image in this world through the magic element. The problem is fire and electricity. Do you understand what these two are?

"It's a phenomenon... right?

"Yes, fire and electricity are not substances, they are phenomena. Fire... technically, it burns. There are two conditions for combustion. Oxygen and fuel. In addition to what is now present, oxygen converts magic into oxygen to increase its amount. In addition, an oxidation reaction is carried out to produce light and heat in the state of combustion. I'm unconscious about this process, but have you ever been aware of it?

"No... I'm sorry... I was doing it somehow"

"Then fix it. I'm not saying it's a bad feeling to do it, but it's important to understand the process well. In the meantime, go in the direction of extending the fire attributes."

"I understand."

It's not like I won't learn what Eira said at the academy. Nor is it neglected. But if I understand the theory and ask if magic improves, it can only be said that it depends on people. Still, Ella tells Sofia to shy away from doing things with her senses. It comes from her experience. Eira wasn't always full of talent either. She is roughly less talented than other Premium vs. Mages. There was no unusual magical aptitude compared to other women's superior vs. magicians.

Then why did she reach the position where she was described as the 'Ice Witch'? That was the pursuit of theory and reason. She decided to visualize all unconscious magical processes through theory. Why this substance is born and why this phenomenon occurs? After pushing through it and putting all the process unconsciously into it, she gained the status of Superior vs. Mage. She was not by any means incompetent, but she was also a genius for hard work.

"Ella, you can use the wide-area interference system, Sphere, right?

Well, that's two names.

"May I see it?

"Hmm... I'm so tired of it..."

"Please! Senpai!"

"Hmm... well, that's fine. Now, come behind me because it's dangerous."

"Ok!

"... it's really going well."

Ella meditates her eyes and protrudes forward with her hands crossed. And then a few decades later. A huge magical formation appeared in the center of the exercise hall and suddenly I thought it was shining... there was a world of ice.

"Wow... this is..."

"Frozen Region Frostsphere. Well, it'll take a while."

That's how Ella clasped her right hand. Then, the existing ice returns to the particles at once. The sparkle was too fantastic.

"This is the culmination of magic."

"If you ask me if it's practical, it's subtle... but if it's activated, it'll help a lot."

Some of the magic is called the wide-area interference system Sphere. This is magic with an interference range of more than 30 meters in radius. Among them, Ella has Frostsphere, a frozen region that specializes in ice. Also, in this ice world, you can freely manipulate the ice. It will take time to activate, but if it does, it will be very powerful. This is also said to be the culmination of magic, the wide-area interferometric Sphere. Some Premium vs. Mages can use them, but Ella's has a lot of skill in them. This is what can also be called her talent.

"Hah... that's amazing ~. Can I get there, too?

"It depends on your efforts. I have talent, but I think Sofia has quite a talent. I wonder how much more you can do without corruption."

"Senpai Eira, did you try?

"I'm not really a genius. Only a few of the best versus magicians are true geniuses. You can still climb up. I proved it myself. So do your best. If you don't want them to leave you."

"Hahaha... do you understand..."

Sofia laughs with her head crossed. Yes, why did she get serious now? It's about that raid, but most importantly, Julia and Shelley. Humans are creatures that are influenced by others without knowing. The same is true of the people we go out with. A species calls its friends, but it is also a kind of truth.

Talent is not enough for that person to maximize their abilities. Efforts alone are not enough. All we need is talent, effort, and the environment. When these three overlap properly, people are able to maximize their abilities. Sofia is at a critical juncture when they overlap. I don't have that consciousness.

"... to be perfectly clear, Julia and Shelley are genuine geniuses. Unlike us, melee combat is the main thing... but in their case, it's beyond theory and reason. Julia saw it with her own eyes, and Shelley said that Bell was a genius. Still want to stand by those two? I'm sure it'll be hard. If you don't want your talents crushed, there's a way to give up. I've seen many people. I can see my limits, and I'm crushing the anti-magician."

"... I know. Those two are real geniuses, and I'm a little talented. But still, that's no excuse. Try your best, and if that doesn't work, I'll give up."

"It's cold in there."

"Well, gut theory alone can't help it. Still, no one knows the future. It doesn't matter who it is. So I'm going to do this again. Julia and Shelley aren't here right now."

"... big guy, you"

"Nishishi. That's all it takes!

It was not long before Sofia's efforts blossomed.
