Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Norrish appeared in the practice aren't the usual Norrish to have a subtle interaction with Nelson.

He has a serious face and holds several boards on his side.

Looking at it, Radmar frowned without saying that something was wrong again.

"Norish, hello today."

Almark nodded without breaking his serious expression.

"It's honest pressure to teach Almark magic."

"Why not?"

"Because you can do anything."

Norish sighs.

"There's really nothing I can teach you to be great."

"If I could do anything, I wouldn't be in everyone's care."

Almark said so and spread his hands.

"I don't care what everyone tells me. I want to absorb everything."

"Well, after all, I can't believe you taught me that."

Norish is lying.

"It's only the magic of the wind."

"Aren't you a master of wind magic? Please."

"Stop calling me a mastermind."

Norish shakes his neck more and more.

"No, compared to Leila and Wendy."

"But your wind communication is amazing. Wendy was surprised."

"That's because it's a technique you learn in the middle school. Even if I study now, I can't use it for exams."

I see.

So...

Norish raised her face and smiled.

"Thanks for hanging out with me. That's enough humility to get started."

"Huh? Ah, ahh."

Almark couldn't keep up with the sudden change in tempo and blinked his eyes.

Was that a necessary setup?

"Because if you start teaching like a teacher all of a sudden, you look great."

That's what I think it is.

Almark leans his neck.

"I don't care."

"I don't like it myself. It's creeping up."

Norish frowned and said that, and the usual bright expression returned.

So, that's what I did today.

That said, Norish handed Almark a plate.

"What is this?

"Turn around."

As you were told, Almark flips the board he received.

A piece of wood is struck so that the board can stand on the floor.

"I borrowed something Nelson made for practice before."

Norish puts his board in the right place on the practice floor.

"This is how you stand on the floor."

I see. I see.

Almark raised his voice.

"You're going to knock down that board with the wind."

Unfortunately, it's a little different.

Norish smiles.

"Is Almark good at wind tricks or wind bending?

"Wind magic and wind bending."

Almark thinks.

Both are magical with similar names, but they are used somewhat differently.

The wind technique is the technique of raising the wind from one's hand or cane, but the wind bending technique is the technique of changing the direction of the blowing wind. Almark has also seen various classmates use it in gardens and spring caves.

I think I'm better at wind tricks.

That's right.

Norish nodded.

"The magic of the wind is up to you, so just think about your magic. But the wind bending technique is plain, but difficult, because you have to think about the nature of the wind that is blowing and match it."

I see.

"So today, I'm going to practice wind bending."

"Okay."

Almark nodded and then looked at the entrance to the practice hall.

"But should I do it outside? There's a lot of natural wind out there."

"You think so."

Norish laughs with a smile.

"It's better to practice freely bending the natural wind."

"Yeah."

Almark sees Norish.

Isn't it?

"Sure, bending the natural wind outside is a practice."

Norish said.

"But I don't bother telling Almark that much. If you practice with the outside wind, you can do it alone."

"Ooh."

Almark smiles.

"I'm excited. What are you going to tell me?"

"The outside wind is blowing in many directions, and it's unstable."

"Yeah."

"So the way you bend becomes obscure. I bent the wind coming from this side, like it was coming from that side."

Is that bad enough?

I'll tell you a little more about it.

Norish laughs back at Almark.

"The technique of accurately bending a single wind in the desired direction. I'm going to practice that today."

So Norish pointed to the board on the floor.

"The wind is my fault, so Almark will bend it and take down the board."

I see.

Almark nodded.

"Where's my board?

"You can put it wherever you want. I'm going to let you take it down."

"Okay."

Almark stood away from Norish's board.

"I have three more boards, so I'll pass when I finally knock them all down."

Almark nods at Norish's words.

"Okay. I'm looking forward to it. Let's do it."

Almark then stood in the middle of the practice hall under Norish's instructions.

Norish, standing in front of Almark, about fifteen steps away, shook his wand at Almark.

"I'm going to wind up Almark from here. That's it."

With that said, show the board standing on the floor on the right side of Almark with a cane.

"Bend over there and take down that board. You ready?

"Yeah."

Almark answered by raising Mars' wand.

"Anytime."

Well, here we go.

Norish threw his wand at Almark.

The wind that has blown is much weaker than expected.

Norish, I don't think so.

With that in mind, when Almark put magic into Mars' wand, he grabbed the wind with his image hand and waved the wand along with the image of throwing it to the right.

The wind changes the direction of the board.

"Okay."

Almark nodded.

But the board didn't fall.

It is a plate of considerable weight. I can't fall in this weak wind.

"Norish, the wind is too weak."

Almark said.

"Don't hesitate to let the wind blow stronger."

"No, Almark."

Norish shook his head with a smile.

"We must defeat the board with that wind."

Huh?

"That's what I thought."

Norish nodded satisfactorily.

"Almark. You haven't caught the wind yet."
