Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

- Day 89 of training.

"The blood of a wise man, is it?

"Damn, a reward for completing the concubine's trial. I've given Derris the same thing, so use it to make it feel good ~"

The day after the couple quarrel & Maria's assault, Yuna had been handed a bottle enclosed with deep red liquid by Maria at the Nell Mansion Underground Workout. Its contents, which were placed in vials like perfume bottles, are Maria's blood itself, which Derris was also receiving yesterday.

"I see, does it feel good?... How do you use it?

Unlike Delis, Yuna, who had no fine dust in her knowledge, could not grasp its use only by staring at the vial as it changed its angle. It is a reaction as expected for Maria.

"Ask Nell and his concubine daughters around there. Concubine, I don't like difficult stories."

"Ha ha..."

"Well, I did give it to you, didn't I? If it's true, concubine, I was going to go home yesterday and tweak for the next concert, but Delis and the others were hilarious, and I stuck around a long time."

"Uh, what happened yesterday? From my master's home, I felt like there was tremendous magic and pressure. For some reason, it was completely off-limits all day..."

"Uun, what nimona kattayo? Soudayone, Nell?

"Why are you saying one thing... well, there was just a little mistake, so don't worry about Harna. Concentrate on your workouts."

Roger that, sir.

When I saw Nell, who seemed slightly depressed, I only guessed that something had happened. Stop pursuing it any further.

"So now the concubine. Halhal, if you have a date for the showdown, let me know first! 'Cause I'm gonna get you in the venue first!

"Okay. Thank you then!

"Yeah! Bubba!

Maria waved satisfactorily when she heard Yuna's energetic reply, disappearing with the wind coming in from somewhere. A typhoon named Maria leaves and a moment of peace returns to the Nell mansion.

"Okay, there you go. Well, Chinatsu and Toko, who are falling there, it's time to wake up. I'll explain Maria's blood to you."

"I'm still tired of mock warfare earlier..."

"Three to two, tough......!

So moaning is Chinatsu and the knife falling on the floor of the workout yard as usual. This is now the familiar sight of this training ground, with anti-Delis accommodation by Arezel, a special group of hands dealing with Nell & Ursula, and the rest of the time.

"You're not sloppy, look at Yuna. You're getting better and better already, aren't you?

"Eh heh. If I slept while I was falling, it led to a shorter break!

"Li, were you recovering from Master Lili's 'Sleep Well' skills? It makes sense to recover quickly..."

"Even if you can magically recover your HP, it won't even work on the fatigue you accumulate in your body... I should have kept that skill too..."

"Sleep Well", which Yoona had met since her early days, has also grown to level 100 over "Sleep Well Totally" now. In other words, a training environment that could be called an ideal for Yona was complete, where Ba and Ba could collapse and be revived.

Thousand Natsu and the knife on the other hand just regret the lack of 'good sleep'. But no matter how much I regret it, my fatigue doesn't go away. Flirty and unreliable footsteps, but the two of them manage to get up and walk out to the front of Nell. It was critical both in person and from the side. Did Nell the boulder also see this coming? I think he decided to prepare the study desk he was using for his study accommodation and let everyone sit there.

"You're all in your seats, aren't you? That's his blood that Maria left earlier, but this is worth as much as a sage stone as a catalyst. Chinatsu, do you know what a sage stone is?

"Ah, yes. I don't quite remember what it is, though. I do think that by using it as a catalyst, it was a stone that freely transformed inferior metals into precious metals, immortalized organisms - and, anyway, allowed unrealistic things to happen. I wondered if existence itself was a legendary, fictional substance, only present in stories and legends"

"Heh, wow!

"Heh, wow!

Yuna and the knife that I honestly admire, sparkling eyes.

"What, can a sage stone do that? It's amazing, Maria's blood."

Hitting and changing with those two, Nell had a pocan look on his face. Apparently, it wasn't the same answer that Nell assumed.

"Yes, no, it was only a perception of our world, so it might not be like this one. Do you mean, I saw Master Nell's reaction now and I was convinced it wasn't"

"Oh, that's the thing. Then I guess I'll explain it again. The stone of a wise man in this world is the same answer Chinatsu said in the rare sense of the word. It's just that records created by former alchemists do exist as literature."

"What, was it real?

"Just for the record, this first king of Ardelheit could be the one."

"" "Yeah!?

Three voices echo in the workout.

"This country is rich in magic items, isn't it? It is the stone of the wise man who made the basement. Well, the size was as small as a fist, and on the way to developing the country so far, the stone itself seems to have been used up."

"Ha-ha-ha... but you built a fortune, no, a culture, right? I knew it was amazing."

"Is that it? Wait a minute. When that happens, will King Diaz hit his descendants?

"That's the thing. By the way, it's not like Chinatsu's perception of the main potency of a sage stone. One of the potencies is magical power enhancement and increased range of effects, drastically reducing the amount of magic consumed. No matter how messy a superior wizard continues to exercise his magic in that lifetime, he wants to make up for all his magic with just a few missing stones of sage."

"I mean, with this, you can use magic all you want, and everything is enhanced?

"You're quick to understand and helpful. Especially if you do a series of Great Eight demon-level magic, you might be depleted by the amount of boulder... hmm, only Maria has a reference example, so it's hard to say what's added or subtracted there."

"Master Nell, you said earlier that Maria's blood is equivalent to that of a sage stone, but is all of Maria's blood so?

"Yeah, that's right. Maria's blood is special, so you can think of it all as a liquid version of the stone all over her body. Derris said yesterday that just a drop of blood is worth more than a mansion or a castle? Existence itself is a mass of abnormality, a dummy woman. Well, Maria doesn't seem to sell blood because there's something weird about her."

Assuming that Maria bled herself into the market without vision, it is not hard to imagine that that alone would lead to the world's values being swayed. It was prevented by Maria's high level of idol awareness, but Derris was honestly grateful for this only.

"Speaking of things different from the stones in this bottle or in the record, is it true that if Maria used it herself, blood would be regenerated immediately, so there is no limit? That's why it's not very helpful."

"You can do whatever you want. Not again..."

"That depends on the way you attack. Harna and I were finally able to win the Arezelle over Derris and me - so that's out of the question.

Pinch the cohon and cough, and Nell keeps explaining.

"Next. The second of the potency, the strengthening of the devil. Use the Sage Stone as an energy source when making so-called magic items. Maria, whose vegan physics are simply strong, will never do it, but perhaps Derris will set up a battle over here."
