Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"The first lesson--"

Unlike her in the morning, High Spear in the afternoon did not abandon her class. For her, who liked pharmacy and climbed up to the professor's seat, throwing a whole class at her student, Waltz, seemed to be distracting.

The first thing she touched on in her serious beginnings was a lecture on the basics of mana in pharmacy. It seems that mana is also used in the base solution for general recovery medicine.

“Mana is just water, to put it mildly.”

"(Probably...)"

Waltz remembers the ingredients of mana that I've seen many times. H2O. From the mana she analyzed when she had mobile armor, we couldn't detect any difference from water.

Therefore, in response to Hi Speer's remark that it was just water, Waltz was convinced, and all other Lucia and Teresa had no particular objection to it.

However, it seemed that only one person, the Asteria, was frowning in disagreement. Apparently, she didn't think mana was just water.

Meanwhile, High Speer seemed to be looking at the reactions of the students and was happy for some reason. A typical student describes mana as just water, which makes them react like the Asteria they are today, so they have a good feeling about the reaction of waltzes who seem to have knowledge about mana.

Nevertheless, because one of them was reacting like an ordinary student, Hi Speer continued to explain about mana.

"The only difference between mana and water is whether the magic is dissolved in water or not."

Hi Speer's remarks slightly restored the frown of the Asteria that had been caught in the eyebrows. But I won't go back completely.

Highspear, who was watching Asteria's reaction, seemed to like her as well. When most of the students explain that the magic is dissolved in water, they stop thinking and are convinced that it is that way. "What is magic power dissolved in water..." Whether it's gas, solid, or not even matter in the first place... "Students who grow up in the Pharmacy Department are those who realize such questions, so as a high-speer on the teaching side, they must have been happy and could not bear it.

That's why I should say it... "A question flies from High Spear to Asteria.

“So, Asteria, what do you think is the magic that dissolves in water?”

Highspear's question is a question he was asked when he was a student. There is no pharmaceutical answer to who the magic power is, but it was important in the sense of checking how the students face the magic power. If you think about it in place of chemistry, it's like asking what water is in an era when periodic tables have not been discovered. Just by asking that question, I could see the potential of the students.

What kind of response does the Asteria give...? Awaiting a pleasant reply, Asteria opened her mouth as she squinted her eyes and thought about something, deepening the wrinkles between her brows.

It's a spatiotemporal distortion.

"... heh?"

As a result of an unexpected response from the Asteria, High Speer's eyes hardened. However, it seems that Asteria is unaware of Hi Speer's reaction, and she recently expressed her thoughts based on the knowledge she has just learned from a certain person.

"Magic power is like a fuel to show off magic. But if it is true, it is too much energy stored inside the organism's body. Some people even contain energy in their bodies that blows up mountains, so in some cases they just catch a cold and get out of control and explode. However, I have not heard of any such cases. That way, instead of holding it in the body as chemical energy, it has a different form... and it also holds an overwhelming amount of energy in the body in such a way that it distorts the space. There are only two ways to do such a thing, if you think about it in terms of (...) anatomy (...). We can only think of a mass-energy transformation based on relativity, or a space-time spring that uses the distortion of space-time itself to extract energy from something that should be said. In the meantime, the former does not seem realistic because it generates radioactive energy that is very dangerous for the human body after fission or counter-extinction, but the latter may also be able to extract energy if there is a way to interfere with space-time distortions. Transition magic, spatial magic, or gravity magic that has now been lost are examples of magic that act directly on space, so I think that if we study them in detail, we will know more about spatial and temporal distortion and magic power. I derailed the story a bit, but when I explained by using the idea of the space-time spring, what is the magic power dissolved in water, the water molecule gives the mass-like properties to the substance in a dimension different from the Hicks field that creates the mass, and accumulates energy... I think that is the true nature of the magic power contained in the mana."

…………

High Speer's head froze in front of words released from Asteria's mouth like a machine gun. I couldn't understand even 10% of what she was saying. It might be a state where you get a bullet of words and your mind is torn to shreds.

At that time, the other three people--,

"Waltz... Lord, did you twist that extra knowledge into the Asteria again?"

"No, no, it's not me. I don't know who Mana is, I don't know magic theory....."

"This feeling... I wonder if it's Kor-chan..."

--It looks like you were saying something like that... It seemed that High Speer could not understand anything.
