Episode 114: Lower Vampires and Veteran Mages

"Let's start with a concentration of magic. Gather magic at your fingertips, just like you did earlier."

When Lorraine says so, Alize nods and begins to focus her consciousness on the magic in her body.

I don't see anyone else's magic moves, but I bet Lorraine does.

I ask.

"What do you say?

"Um, it's well done...... Well, it's slow compared to you running your magic as fast as you feel sick from earlier... because it's your first day. That's all I can do."

That's what Lorraine said and nodded.

Then,

"All right, then, it's preliminary magic. Chant the spell as you think of the phenomenon that Lent just caused... okay, here it is."

That being said, Lorraine points out and slaps him with a stick with a spell he had written on the board at some point.

Alize snorts and opens her mouth as she sweats.

"…" Fire… feed my magic… and here… manifest… "Ignition"! "

Then there are signs of magic, and then Alize's fingertips shine.

It's a phenomenon that didn't happen when I was there.

That happens because of the inefficient conversion of magic, which is turning wasted magic into light.

I kept activating it more than once, so little magic occurs, but the first time I use it, it's like that.

When we get used to witchcraft, gradually there is no more waste, but it is the magician's dream to convert all the magic power into the phenomenon itself.

Some loss is bound to happen, and that can't be helped anymore.

Then, at Alize's fingertips, there was a fire about two times smaller than the one I lit.

It's a truly small light, unstable as it is all, and uncomfortable to spark.

But Alize opens her eyes as surprised by it.

They learn magic and realize they can manipulate magic firmly, but they don't believe that magic really activates.

A magician is quite special and rare from a normal human being.

You don't think you can be in the middle of having the power to extinguish people in a single blow and being able to interfere with every object.

Whether you want to be, or can be, the majority of people actually react like this when they use magic.

"... wow, I have magic too... ah"

The moment Alize shrugged so touched, the light lit at her fingertips faded away.

Probably because the concentration was interrupted.

Manipulating magic can be unconscious if you get used to it, but in the beginning it's hard not to gather all your concentration at one point.

"Because you thought of something else. Well, if you repeat it over and over, you'll all be able to use it without thinking about it"

Lorraine explains to Alize.

"I don't really feel like I can do that, even though it's hard to get this far just lighting such a small fire..."

Alize says so, but Lorraine shook her head to the side.

"No, no, that's not true. Think about it, even Lent can do it, right? Besides, if we get more used to it, we'll be able to do this.

At the same time Lorraine says so, she lights a fire at her fingertips, floats more water, and uses them to create one complex shape after another.

Mastery.

There is nothing inside that freely manipulates the form of magic.

It's just that I can do it that far.

But Lorraine's magic goes beyond that.

Fire and water gradually grow larger, each beginning to shape the shape of a creature.

Fire is in the shape of a bird, water is elephant of a dragon, flying around the air.

It's a force that's obviously not preliminary magic.

Initial magic can't make fire or water that big, and it's hard to move it away from your body.

This is not preliminary sorcery at a time when this much control can be exercised.

If I could, I'd already be playing with this.

"Phew."

And, Alize opens her mouth and flashes.

In addition, Lorraine:

"I can do this too"

That being said, he begins to produce soil in the air by magic and, furthermore, use it to form buildings one after another.

First in the Adventurers' Union (Guild) building, then in this Lorraine house, then in a large mansion you have never seen, and finally in a magnificent castle.

They are all of different shades of soil and are sophistication that I do not think I have created with earthly magic.

The difference in skill between Lorraine and me came up so sad.

And Lorraine pulls the magic in,

"What do you say, it'll be amazing. From Lent."

And I strained my chest.

He didn't want to show his disciples the possibility of witchcraft, he wanted to show Alize that he was a better magician than me.

A child?

Well, it's not what I could have said.

to such Lorraine. Alize is

"It's amazing! Dr. Lorraine, and Lent! I want to do my best so I can be like you two too!

And, because I let go and praised him, Lorraine became a little lit,

"Oh well... well, yeah. I'll take Lent inside too..."

Lorraine didn't say anything about me either because she was trying to make fun of me, and it seemed hard to deny it because it was time for both of her pretty disciples to praise her, which is how she put it.

Then Alize again,

"Yes! I can't believe you two can teach me this...... me, I'll keep up the good work, thank you!

So he bowed his head, and today's lecture came to an end.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"See you later!

With that said, Alize returns to the orphanage with the first part of Lorraine's textbook in her hand.

Me and Lorraine waved her off the doorstep and then when we lost sight of each other, we went back to our room.

"And that's good. This is going to really go the magician and scholar way."

Lorraine sat on the couch and said so in a smudged manner.

And I...

"No, no, it's the adventurers that make Alize, isn't it? I trained in magic today, but the next step is to train adventurers."

In the meantime, it is the path of a mage and scholar who is greatly pushed by Lorraine, but Alize herself has not withdrawn her goal of becoming an adventurer.

When I left, I said I was going to train adventurers next, but with an honest smile, I said, "Yeah!" He said.

Her future goals are still adventurers.

You're an adventurer, right?

An adventurer.

Yeah.

But Lorraine frowned,

"At all, you're stubborn too... well, I don't know what else to do. That's what I'm gonna do now."

and say it with a voice as if reluctantly allowing it.

... Isn't that strange?

I think so.

Well, I guess it's useless to say.

"So, say training adventurers, but what are you going to let them do first?

I stopped making jokes for now, Lorraine, but that's what I've heard, so I'll think about it for a little while before I answer.

"Let's start with teaching swordsmanship. And then we'll take them to the woods and the labyrinth and teach them the materials and the rules."

Then Lorraine looked nostalgic,

"I see, I do what I used to do to you..."

and said, and then as it flashed,

"Hey, Lent. Can I get there, too?

I've been asking.

Nothing, it's free.

In other words, Lorraine is also Alize's master, who will also need to teach about witchcraft against demons in action.

To do this, we need to go to the labyrinth or something with her several times and know where she stands.

Of course, since there is no way I can suddenly defeat a demon, it would feel like observing me defeat it, or stabbing a stop at something rather weak, so I might have a few words to say standing around.

So I say.

"I don't mind at all. It's just, okay? The research…"

"That's okay. I mean, it's not just Alize, I'm Lent, because I want to take a closer look at your evolved battles. It's probably got to be pretty different than before, right?

I wouldn't know if I didn't actually try, but there was also quite a change when I went from corpse eater Ghoul to corpse ghost Shiki.

After all, we should consider it to be changing.

In the first place, the corpse ghost Shiki and the corpse eater Ghoul were able to bend their bodies in odd directions.

Now... I can't do it, but the resistance has grown stronger for the amount of meat on my body.

Mentally and physically.

I'm scared if I do too much, so now I'm in a situation where I'm looking for limits.

For once, it might be better to have Lorraine observe objectively.

That's what I thought, and I snorted at Lorraine.
