Let's talk first, so Brother Beltrand, me and Oliver are going into a conference room in the library.
When I say it's for meetings, it's not that big because it's a room to bring books from the library for discussion.
It's a small room, like the Japanese who live on Earth imagine.
There are about six chairs on the desk for the meeting.
Never a small room of royal standards.
There me and Oliver lined up beside each other and Brother Beltrand sat in the front.
"Hmmm... aren't you a little too narrow?
"Beltrand, Doctor. It's a common size room.
"Really?"
A little laughter leaks to Brother Bertrand, who seems a little uncomfortable.
But it's still royal. So it sits to look grand in the eyes.
Oliver seems more uncomfortable than his brother Beltrand like that.
"No, no, no, no. Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm getting hung up on you and these peppers. No, no, no."
My face is no longer bright blue.
I feel a little sorry for Oliver, who leaks like that with a bump and quick mouth.
"Oliver. Are you okay?
"... how can you be so flat"
My gaze was pointed at me when I suspected the fundus nerve.
Even so, Brother Beltrand is my family.
Thinking about it, Oliver, you're doing amazing right now.
Brother Bertrand and me. Royalty II vs. Common One.
Even now it's here, so Oliver's going to graduate if I find out I'm royal.
"So, stop calling me. What do you think?"
"Oh, uh. I wonder what's going on with the joint study of witchcraft, etc."
"Ray! Ray!!"
Oliver sitting on the side pulls my sleeve gooey and whispers his fame.
"What?"
"What? No!! The other guy! Royal!! That's a famous professor too!? Think a little more and speak!!"
It's between brothers for me, and I didn't think it was so weird because I always talked like this, but that would surprise Oliver if the common man had this way of talking to the royal family.
"... excuse me, I did. The story I'd like to ask is about joint research in magic development."
"... let's just say I didn't hear what you said earlier, sparing my students' faces. Well, we were talking about a joint study."
Set aside a beat and Brother Bertrand opened his mouth again.
"I haven't done any joint research. It doesn't have to be basic. Because it's something independent of witchcraft in each field. Flame if flame. Water if water. Specialized teachers exist in all of them, both theory, application and utilization, teaching each one of them. Most of all, there is a separate field of scholarship as a theory in terms of the magical foundations that all share."
"Why. So what's the further development of witchcraft? So it depends on the flashes of the professors in each field?
"Exactly."
"So there's no combination between sorcery?
"… Description"
Brother Bertrand's face, who said so briefly, becomes something serious.
Brother Jean, it's the same face we used to have when we discussed the cause of the weakness of the child between the subhuman and the person.
"What do you think I can do to increase the effect of thunder"
Conversely, if I returned it with a question, Brother Bertrand creased between my eyebrows.
"Well, why don't you simply increase the amount of magic you soak up?
That's probably what Oliver answered.
"Then the strength of witchcraft will depend on the magic power of the operator. Of course I think that's the right form too, but something less magical is eliminated. But if we change the way we fight, we'll be able to fight."
"Increase the effect of thunder..."
Brother Bertrand and Oliver thinking deeply.
"It's not even that hard to talk about. What does the thunder fall on, when does the thunder fall? Tips are always in the daily routine."
"Thunder falls on a lightning rod. I mean, high up, then... metal?
"Thunder is what falls from the rain clouds. I mean rain, no. It has something to do with water."
"Exactly. But it seems demure to make it easier to fall just because you're wearing precious metal. Thunder falls higher. And what gets wet in the water makes it easier to get electricity through"
When wet in water, electricity is easier to get through. Metal is certainly easier to pass through electricity than a person's body, but if lightning strikes, electricity flows more to the metal than to the human body, and vice versa, the damage seems to be lighter.
I don't know if this is true or not.
"It's a simple story. Thunder, before you hit the magic of electricity, you just have to hit the magic of water. Then I'll stick a steel stick instead of a lightning rod in the other body. Then electricity flows through the other person's body"
I don't know how effective that actually is, but if you keep running it into your body even with weak electricity, your guts will burn. If you drained a moment of strong power, it would help stop the heart.
"I can't try that because I'm not good at thunder magic, water magic, or earth magic, but let's talk to each professor once. They are as fascinated by witchcraft as I am. Probably will soon be a joint study."
Brother Bertrand, who stood up with a rattle, reached out to me.
"Valuable opinions appreciated"
"No, thank you for listening."
