Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

"Your class was a night-time herbal practice this holiday."

As soon as she met him in the tutorial that day, Ilmis told Almark that.

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

"The group is with Wendy and Morgen."

I see. Walking in the woods at night with friends will also be fun. "

Illmis checks Almark's body while saying so.

You seem to be taking medicinal water.

"Yes, Leila comes to see if she drank it every day."

That's a good thing.

Illmis nods with a gentle expression.

"She seemed to have felt a lot responsible. I need you to get well soon."

"I've been feeling better."

That's what Almark said, turning his shoulders around.

However, while saying that, Almark also clearly felt the subtle sensory deviation that Yologo was saying.

The triggering of magic is subtly delayed.

If you think about it, it's subtly faster.

The voices of the magicians are farther than usual.

Thanks to the daily medicated water, it was gradually decreasing, but there was still a discomfort that could not be wiped off.

"But the practice is the Night Forest."

Illmis said so and looked at Almark.

"Don't you think this is a great opportunity? For those who target you."

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

"Maybe there's a dark trap..."

That's why Almark was relieved to be in a group with two people who knew the situation this time.

"Not only Dr. Fear, but me and Celia will be waiting for you that day."

Ilmis said.

"If anything happens, I'll be right there."

"Thank you."

Almark smiles.

"If you have a teacher, I feel safe."

"For now, you should devote yourself to practical training. [M] Don't forget the minimum vigilance."

Ilmis said that and added as he remembered.

"Mars' wand should not be used yet. It's dangerous."

"Yes"

Almark knows that.

It is dangerous to use that cane in this state of health.

Either way, it could hurt Wendy, Morgan, and the second graders who are pulling it off.

"Mars' wand has the protective technique of the dean. You can leave it in the dorm."

"I understand."

"But even though there may be a dark trap, it's not careless to just sit around."

That said, Illmis laughed lightly.

"That's why I give you special permission to take your dagger."

"My sword."

Almark rounded his eyes.

Are you sure?

"It's an unavoidable situation. I got permission from the dean."

"I understand."

Looking at Almark's happy face, Illmis smiled.

"Morgan said so. You are invincible with a sword. [M] I can't beat anybody."

"Morgan did that."

Almark lies ashamed.

"That's too much."

"Words may go too far, but trust is real."

Illmis said that and gently slapped Almark on the shoulder.

Try not to betray your trust.

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

Morgan's trust. Wendy's trust.

Don't betray me.

Speaking of which, I found this in the fountain cave.

Illmis said that and took something small out of the robe.

"The ring...?"

Almark peeks into Illmis's hands and says.

Blackened and losing its shine, it was a very simple ring without any decoration.

"It fell around where you said you had defeated the Shadow of Darkness. This is probably the identity of the“ ring ”that brought together many shadows and gave darkness to them."

"This is..."

Almark picks up the ring handed to him by Illmis, lifts it in front of his face, and looks at it.

Looks like a ring.

"Not now. I'm already losing power."

Ilmis nodded.

"Someone took the ring all the way down to the cave of that fountain."

In the middle...

I don't know yet.

Ilumis shakes his head.

But be careful.

"Yes"

A tricky trap.

Almark clearly felt the invisible malice of his opponent.

"Well, today I'll teach you a new magic."

Illmis returned to the witchcraft teacher and declared.

"With all the magic of fire, you can't use it in the woods."

"Yes"

"But if something comes that cannot be dealt with by the sword alone, you will have to use some magic."

So I raised my right hand, and it was a potted plant that appeared in that hand.

A gentle vine plant is wrapped around a pillar inserted into the potted plant.

Kukurikara Mitsuta

Ilmis speaks of a name that might bite his tongue.

It's a common vine plant in the woods.

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

Indeed, I often see this vine wrapped around trees and rocks in the forest.

"Use this to practice vine enclosure"

"Vine Bracing"

Almark nodded.

I know.

On the battlefield, I have been struck by grass that has had that effect.

My first magic. [M]

Zaire Interceptor Mercenary Regiment. A man who never falls, an unknown sorcerer in the army of "Iron Knight” Marismog.

I'll catch up with one more thing.

"As you know, this is magic that manipulates vines to wrap them around something or tie them around something. If you apply it, you can manipulate strings other than vines."

Illmis explains lightly.

"Until now, the main focus has been on converting magic out of my body, but this technique is important to pass magic through objects. The way magic works is changing."

"Yes"

"Let's focus. Today I want to teach you the art of wind."

Illmis is trying to teach me magic that assumes fighting in the forest.

That's what Almark knows.

"First, let's fly the magic to the target."

Ilumis waved his finger at the vine.

"All you have to do is activate and move the magic inside the vine."

As Illmis finished or did not finish, the vine moved away from the wrapped pillars and began to move like a snake.

"Plants are the easiest to move in the sense that they have no will but magic. It's just a string or a rope that doesn't have the will, but it doesn't have the magic. I need a little ingenuity to move it."

Illmis said so and saw Almark.

"The most important thing about this magic..."

"It's an image"

Smile at Almark's answer.

"That's right. When flying magic, it is important to imagine it permeating every corner of the plant. It also requires knowledge of the plant itself. Do you take botany classes seriously?

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

"Very well, then I'll have you prove it."

Ilumis pointed at the vine.

"I understand."

Almark was sure to look at the vines as he practiced his magic.

Even that day, the lights of the magic practice hall never went out until late at night.
