Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

― ― Now, in the afternoon, I will explain two things: dry magic combining fire and wind magic, and search magic by emitting magic power. It would be difficult if we were not accustomed to the treatment of magic to some extent, but there was a lot of hope, so we incorporated it into this course. That said, "

Siori laughed loudly once she had cut her words.

"Especially dry magic is a very small user of synthetic magic, so I may have a habit of doing it in my own way. Therefore, I hope that you will look at it as a reference only. Let me show you once. I'll try slowly to make the process easier to understand.”

It was only three years since I started using magic, and many people initially doubted that I was a low-ranking magician and a user of synthetic magic.

However, in the lecture so far, you have recognized a certain amount of strength, and every face is serious and there is no understatement color already.

Siori takes a deep breath and concentrates on the palms of her hands.

"Fire magic on the right, wind magic on the left..."

― ― The hot air from the right hand and the wind from the left hand mingle together to become one. A warm wind like a spring breeze blew through between people.

Sighs and exclamations leaked from the surroundings.

"This is dry magic." It is used in the camp for washing clothes and drying wet hair after bathing. And here's how it goes-- "

Fluffy, it inflates the mass of the wind to envelop the people around it.

"--Broaden the range and use it instead of heating. Increasing the firepower a bit can also weaken demon beasts that are vulnerable to heat and dryness. By the way, at this temperature, snow and moon have dried up and fallen. I didn't try it all, but it's very likely that it will work on the winter-only demon beast.”

As expected, I didn't mention the Phantom Beast Snowman, but when I used phantom magic to recreate the battle with the Snow Moon in Silveria, there was a huge response.

Beside Alec and Lurie, who had a wonderful face for Doya, who responded well to his partner, the colleagues also admired him, saying, "It's a big deal."

“Do you have any tips?”

"If I practice a lot, I can do it."

Is there an efficient practice method?

"Wait... wait a minute. I'll explain it in turn."

Stuck in excitement, Ciori was half turned back.

"First, let's discard the stereotype that synthetic magic is special." I think it can be seen from the fact that I can use it now that it is not special. So instead of thinking about whether you can or can't do it, let's try it first. ”

The synthetic magic had few successes, and as far as it was on the record, they all had titles above the rank of senior mages. That's why there must have been an assumption that you can't use it unless you're a magician. And it might have been removed from the magical option of unconscious learning.

The assumption itself inhibits an important imagination in order to activate magic. Therefore, you can first discard that assumption (a futile element).

"--The biggest reason why synthetic magic is difficult is because it is still difficult to maintain the balance between the two magic. So, to be successful, I think it is important to eliminate as much as possible the causes of the imbalance. The surest way to do this is to equalize the amount of magic power output from both hands. But there are other important points.”

There are two important points.

The first is the hand with the highest amount of magic power output - the identification of the dominant arm for magic.

The second is to check the attributes that are compatible with you and their ranking.

“In general, dominant hands tend to have more magic power output than attributes that are compatible with them. Therefore, the balance between the left and right is adjusted by assigning the attributes that are not compatible to the dominant hand and the attributes that are compatible to the opposite hand."

--Theori went well with the wind magic. In contrast, Fire Magic is a very bad attribute. And the dominant hand was on the right. That's why I used fire magic, which I didn't like with my dominant hand, and wind magic, which I was good at with my opposite hand. By doing so, I was able to close the gap between my left and right magic powers to a certain extent.

"... I didn't even think about that."

After a lot of silence, Alec and I muttered.

I thought it was simple enough to use the same amount of magic power in both hands.

Even so, it's not an easy story after all.

Nadia raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, sir."

Siori nodded.

"Maybe this is more difficult than a higher ranking mage with a lot of magic power." The higher the amount of magic power, the stronger the power to push it out, so I think it's difficult to fine-tune that amount. On the other hand, people with little magic power can be said to be easy to fine-tune because the flow of magic power that originally circulated around the body is gentle. Therefore, I think that people with low magic power are more suitable for synthetic magic. "

"... that's why I didn't even think about it"

Formerly a senior magician, Kai sighed profoundly, and his elderly colleague, who was participating for research purposes, moaned, "It certainly makes sense."

"The proof of that theory is still in the future, but the original success itself was less because the most suitable layers were excluded... it's complicated and pleasant."

"Whatever it is, I've grabbed something that looks like a thread." It's worth a try. "

Needless to say, Alec is motivated when he looks at everyone's faces.

Siori summarized the story while smiling bitterly at the students who were frightened because they wanted to try it quickly.

"There are three points of success in synthetic magic. The first is to check the magic power output of both hands. This can be confirmed by releasing magic power with both hands at the same time. The second is to identify attributes that go well with each other. This time, let's check with Wind Magic and Fire Magic. Use both hands to check each elementary magic at the same time. Please do it with your natural body without being very aware of it. Staying without being scratched is an attribute that is more compatible. The third is to make the magic power output of both hands as equal as possible. If you are usually equipped with a cane, the gap between the left and right may be large, but try to practice hard. I think it would be good to start with the practice of maintaining balance with the same attributes. Once you can increase your concentration and manipulate your magic output with precision, your magic power will increase even if you can't use synthetic magic. It won't hurt.”

Concentrate.

The moment I heard these two words, Vivi's shoulders twitched. When I was a newcomer, I remembered what the mage pointed out.

You, you have incredible magic power, but you lack concentration. It took me a while to activate it, and the magic I'd built up was scattered all over the place. At first glance, it looked like it had high attack power, but it wasn't as powerful as the amount of magic power. So, if you like, why don't you equip yourself with a cane? It will be easier to concentrate.

Having said that, the wand was certainly a help to Vivi, who was distracted. She didn't quite understand that magic power was collected at her fingertips, but now that she had an easy-to-understand indicator called a wand, she could concentrate. The power of one shot was increased, and the waste of magic power was reduced.

I bought the wand and didn't have it with me. The mage who taught me soon retired from the wedding, and now I'm away from Tris.

(Speaking of which, I bought it only after senpai quit...)

The simple design that was familiar to everyone's hands was not Vivi's hobby, but he still didn't feel like buying a wand in front of him that he had prepared for himself.

- That much care Vivi had back then.

However, the cane that was left in my hand for a while after that, when I successfully improved my performance and promoted to C-Class, it suddenly seemed like a crap and was disposed of.

Even if you're a teacher, you're only an instructor. You're already an intermediate magician, aren't you? Since you're a fellow student, you don't have to feel like that.

Sheila used to say that.

Sheila was proud of her face to the Northern Knights, who belonged to the daughter of the Knight Lord, who lived in the countryside.

Vivi was also proud to have approached such a quasi-aristocratic lady at the time. I felt like I had the backing of a nobleman.

(...... you're a total stranger to the countryside.)

Sheila and myself.

It goes without saying that the world's strangest little daughters got there.

― ― The attitude of colleagues towards Vivi, who had run back to his hometown after being beaten and broken by a high stretched nose, was hard, and he was often alone in the union (guild) all the time.

It is by no means neglectful of existence. Most people answer sinisterly if they want to, and they talk from the other side if they need to. I just don't try to be aggressive.

On that day, my sister was right when she said, "If you don't like her, it's the least of your courtesies to leave her alone."

Vivi, who was chewing on his loneliness and his mistakes in such a way, was lonely, and was therefore increasingly observing his surroundings. Look at the facial expressions of colleagues in the distance and listen to the conversation you hear. In doing so, I noticed the fact that my world was too small.

(Normally you're a nobleman...)

Just by not bothering to hustle, the aristocrats, who were much more well-established than the quasi-aristocrat Sheila and others, were much more distracted from their colleagues than they thought.

Noble people live the same life as ordinary people, traveling to the expedition and eating the same cauldron. There are many people who are more successful than Vivi and the others back then.

With that in mind, how ridiculous would it be to behave with the bride and daughter of the knight family, the star of the newcomer's expectations?

(It's embarrassing to die...)

I'd even like to dig up some dirt and bury myself back then.

"--You can also do this by freely manipulating the magic power around your body and increasing your concentration to the extreme."

Vivi, desperate to roll in shame, looks up at Sioli's words and peels her eyes.

― ― As people opened their eyes in amazement and watched with their breath, Theoli used synthetic magic in an upright position (...).

"... I'm so tired, I'm not very efficient, so I don't usually do it."

Releasing the magic, Theoli lowered her eyebrows and laughed in front of the strangers.

When the Mage activates his magic, it's because it's a necessary move to concentrate its magic power. There was even a tool called a wand to help her, but she left without using any of it. The synthetic magic that required extremely high concentration and technical skill succeeded without any auxiliary movement, just by concentrating on the hollow.

"...... What sister......"

Vivi lowered her gaze to her short wand as someone muttered to her. I saved up my reward and bought my favorite wand.

(Concentration, huh...)

I put the staff back on my waist and activated the magic of fire and wind in the palms of my hands.

The flames of the right hand -- normally equipped with a cane -- burned up violently, and the wind on the left hand made a strange sound and scratched away.

Vivi is a good match for Fire attributes and uses little Wind Magic. So this is as expected.

But the next time I blew the wind with my right hand and created a fire with my left hand, for some reason the wind swirled violently and scratched the fire out.

"... heh?"

The Fire attribute is Vivi's best attribute. Even though there was a difference in the output of magic power, it could not be easily scratched away by the wind magic that I was not good at.

Driven by a vague sense of impatience, Vivi created a fire in his hands. However, I was stunned by the result.

- I knew it wasn't going to work from the beginning. However, I thought that if I was good at fire magic, I could do both. However, the flames on the right hand burn a lot, while the left hand just shakes like the first fire.

"Um... why...?"

As each of them began to challenge synthetic magic scattered around, Vivi was stunned.

― ― Because I noticed that the amount of magic power emitted from my left hand was extremely low.

No matter how many times I try, the result will not change. The amount of magic power released by my left hand was probably less than or equal to that of a low-ranking mage. How was it before? Was the output of both hands different so far? No, the difference between the left and right should have been less.

Vivi was stunned by the fact that he couldn't do what he was doing. Slightly left in the depths of my heart, my sense of superiority "but ultimately I am superior" fades away while I see it.

Vivi and Siori's gaze suddenly collided as they turned around to ask for help, wondering how to get back together.

What's the matter?

Sioli, who was patrolling between the students, approached Vivi uneasily.

"Um... uhm"

Yes.

”My left hand... my magic power is so weak... I don't know what to do...”

The fact that it has become weaker means that it was not before.

Vivi's face, which had been activating magic with both hands many times, was full of impatience.

Ahh, this...... Was the wand equipped in your right hand?

Alec, who was silently watching next to him, asked. Vivi nods, sighing tinyly.

"When I started using my cane, I used magic more often with my equipped hand." Maybe because you were equipped with a cane, you could barely use your right hand? Maybe it's because of that. "

The magic power of my left hand, which I didn't use much, was getting worse.

(This is how it's going to be......)

I heard about it, but the first time I saw an actual example, Theoli was stunned.

"My right hand is my dominant hand, but I am equipped with a sword." Because of this, magic often shoots with the left hand. Therefore, in my case, the opposite of the dominant hand is more familiar with magic treatment, and the magic circle is also good- "

Alec's eyebrows dropped as he cut off his words.

"That being said, this is extreme." Maybe you only used your right hand equipped with a cane. "

That's what Vivi thought for a while.

"I don't know... but... maybe... that's it"

When she was a newcomer, she said, she was also pointed out by the instructor.

He was fighting back with his right hand against the attack from the left, so his body was moving more and more in vain, making a big gap during the battle--that's how it was pointed out.

After all, the habit didn't heal, and it didn't seem to be so inconvenient because of the two powerful companions, and it seemed to have spent more than a year.

"Hmm... if you're going to return to the scene in the future, you should probably fix that habit." In time, it will be more difficult to enter the scene. "

Vivi, who did not make it clear but is in a difficult position, is likely to accept the request by herself for the time being. Then we should try to fix the habit that disadvantages the fight as much as possible.

"If you're worried about your concentration, why not replace your gear with a ring or bracelet?" Equip both hands with the same item and consciously use both hands. It's easy to concentrate on a magic stone if it's attached to it. "

From the gear, Vivi has a lot of clutter around his belongings. The adorable design ornaments may also motivate her.

"A ring or a bracelet..."

"I'll hide in the winter with gloves." It would be better if you could equip the bracelet from the top. "

Alec said, and after a while she nodded. And his gaze turned to Theoli's left hand.

Is that the bracelet (...) too?

"... eh?"

Vivi's gaze captured the bracelet that adorned Sioli's left arm.

"Ah, this is... this amulet"

"Amulet..."

She was leaning her neck in response to a bad tooth cut, but she seemed to have seen Alec laughing beside Siori.

"Ahh... uhm... yeah, it's a beetle..."

Vivi said with a slightly dazed, over-eaten, heartburn expression, and a sneer leaked from her surroundings.

The afternoon lecture proceeded in a generally calm atmosphere, troubled and troubled.

--- but.

I felt like I had heard a slight bell as the students laughed and magic sounded. Theori suddenly waved in the sky. I thought it was because of my mind, but when I noticed that some people were finishing their ears with the same gentle expression, I raised my eyebrows.

--The sound of half-minded blows streaming in the wind.

It's an emergency signal.

The first person to react was Lady Bordeaux, Monica Osbring.

Fire, disaster, or bandit attack. The sound of a half-minute signaling an emergency situation was interrupted, and it was impossible to tell which signal it was. However, the sound is heard in the direction where the avalanche occurred.

Monica instructed the private on the side to do something. The private nodded tinyly and jumped on the horse with his heel back. I guess I'll go and see how it goes.

"... I hope it doesn't matter."

Alec's mouth sounded like a wish, but I knew from his expression that there was an ominous feeling.

Probably, there was a feeling in Theoli that this would be important.

Then, less than five minutes after the private soldier had jumped out, he returned with a stranger on a horse. It was almost at the same time that the legendary bird from the Frontier Bird family that I had left for reconnaissance returned.

"Help me! Someone got caught in an avalanche!"

The man exclaimed, saying that even a small amount of time from the horse was difficult. Without his hat and gloves, he would have jumped out with almost no clothes on. The ears and peeling hands that could be seen between the disturbed hairs were cold and bright red.

A man who knew ahead of time that there was a group of adventurers in the vicinity of the village, said that he ran this far for help anyway. I ran into a private soldier along the way.

"The range of the collapse is so wide...... many people got involved... we couldn't find it alone! Please!"

Listening to the man, Monica quickly ran to the piece of paper attached to the returning sign bird, and said sharply, "Let's go." Those eyes captured Shiori and Alec.

"I have an urgent request from the Boundary House." Search and rescue activities for disaster victims due to avalanches. Thank you very much. "

Alec turned his gaze to his companions, all nodding.

"I accepted the request, Siori.".

Yeah.

As the person in charge of the lecture, Siori told him to interrupt the lecture.

“For urgent requests, all participants in this course will continue to move on to relief efforts. I'll teach you the rest of the magic of exploration.”

"Newcomers up to class D and less than a year old will ask for assistance in rescue work. Nils, I'm sorry, but I need you to play the backup role."

In response to Alec's words, Nils nodded vigorously as he stood up and was already ready to face the battle.

Alright, let's move out!

-Roger!

Ryuuu!

We all move in unison on the order.

Familiar with the emergency situation, the Bordeaux family and a group of knights began to move early.

Led by Baltic, the Rovnells say, “I'll support the relief effort. I have spare food," he offered to accompany me.

Nils and Ellen vigorously pushed the unwanted newcomer into the carriage, and Theoli packed their bags quickly and divided them into carriages.

Nice to meet you too, Lully and Bloo.

Shaken by the running carriage, the two slimes trembled as they told me to leave them to me.

The aim is the village of Eklev, the village at the foot of the mountain.
