As I walked down the hallway of the magic courtyard, I heard him talking.

"Is that Arks Reiseft?"

You won the previous duel with Claudia-sama, didn't you?

It seems that you've won several more matches after that.

Really. Didn't you use some cowardly hand?

As far as I can see, it was nothing?

Besides, he was the chairman of the entrance exam.

"So the incompetence story is a lie?"What the hell are you doing again... "

The students at the magic courtyard are sneaking around to talk about it.

Apparently, it has begun to attract the attention of the students.

It's not a bad way to get noticed, and it's not a bad reputation.

The rumors of dishonor seem to be raising questions.

... I can't be honest with you because of that duel.

But you don't have much magic, do you?

There seems to be a general average, but at the aristocratic level, right?

It's going to be hard to make a career out of it.

But after all, in the second word, it was "low magic power".

No matter how many kinds of magic you use, you'll settle for this kind of evaluation.

I can't help but sigh.

Anyway, about Claudia.

Dean Egbard said that he is a hard worker who is persistent.

According to her words, she has played many fights since then.

Of course, this is no trouble.However, I can't refuse because of the high character of my family.In the end, it was probably the only situation I had to accept.

What I don't quite understand is her obsession with this matter.

The second word of the battle is "join the circle".Previously, I was promoted to "Serve Me".Probably because I'm losing, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Of course, there are already opponents who want to be helpful, so I politely refused to talk about serving.

Then he got angry as if to say, "Mukey!"Random. Really random. I sincerely hope that somebody will do something about it.

Anyway, after the battle was over, it was strange why Suu was ever so gentle.

The bad news is that Claudia is really working hard.Because of this, I couldn't get over it every time, and it was almost a battle.Due to the amount of magic power, there are more magic variations to use, and I can't handle them in time.There was a lot of magic power, and it was really cheating.

After all, it reminds me of Kane Razrael's magic power in the previous lesson and his match with Claudia.

Those with a lot of magic power had an advantage. If they were pushed, they would weaken too.

I have something to do. There is something to be done, but there is no denying that it is disadvantageous.

Around there, I think I was quite reminded of what happened last time.

Until now, most of the humans with a lot of magic power were allies.

But in the future, there will be more people standing in front of them.

I'm still not sure if I can close that gap...

"I knew there was a limit..."

Just by studying, I learned that studying spells alone could not fill up the magic power.I needed a lot of magic power to use my powerful magic.

Think of something to overcome it... but you can't come up with it so easily.

It was a wall that many capable wizards had so far struggled with their heads.

Aiming to improve efficiency.

Increases magic power.

(Looking for useful [Ancient Arts] to craft more powerful spells?Can you make a distiller of soma sake and condense the magic ingredients to get it out?...... no way)

The latter may still be realistic, but it is difficult to reproduce, and by its very nature, it lacks practicality.After all, you can't use more magic than your total magic power, so you won't be able to use magic on a large scale.

After all, I needed magic power.

"Fufu, I'm going to break my heart..."

She threw herself sloppily on the sofa in the Mansion.

Place the open book on your face and let out a roar.

In the meantime, I saw Kazuy in an apron using magic in the front of the garden.

They must be trying to get rid of the birds that gathered in Soma's stock.

He looks like a brother who is totally the husband.

He lifted the book lightly and looked at it with a carefree gaze.

Magic characters scattered in the air clustered together to form a magic circle.

Soon there was a shaanshaan and a noisy sound, and the birds ran away.

The magic circle was disassembled, and the Magic Letter (Artsglyph) shattered.

"The magic circle, the magic circle..."

The magic circle is like an effect that occurs when using magic.In the case of magic with low effects, it is not made, but when using magic with high effects, the magic circle unfolds.

Of course, this doesn't mean good looks or clothes, it means decent things.

…………

The Magic Characters (Arts Glyphs) that make up the magic circle that occurred at this time are another Magic Characters (Arts Glyphs) that come to mind, apart from the words and words uttered by the magician.

The Magic Letter (Artsglyph) inspired by the spell that was sparked verbally floats another related magic character in the sky, which builds the magic circle.

Therefore, [magic characters (arts glyphs)] and [magic characters (arts glyphs)] that you do not even know may come to mind in the magic circle.

…………

Perhaps the [Magic Character (Artsglyph)] floating in the sky was a different code from the spell to generate magic.By constructing a circle in which magic power circulates, it is established as a command and a program called magic generation is executed.

In any case, it seemed that magic could be generated in that way.

”... it's a loss to have to configure like that all the time”

I guess so. As I chanted, the [Magic Letter (Artsglyph)], which was as fragmented as every time, came together and began the task of building a magic circle. Movement If the effect is small, there is nothing like that, but the greater the magical effect, the more noticeable the time taken for that task.

Of course, the magic power consumed by that task was huge.

Thinking about it, not only does it consume magic power for chanting, but it also consumes magic power for building the magic circle.

This is a waste of time.

Yes, it's a waste.

"-Yeah, if you need that kind of process, you can prepare it in advance!"There's no reason I should have everything ready in time!Wouldn't it be nice to have everything in place by the time the magic happens!? "

If the magic power needed for words and idioms includes the amount of magic circle construction.

If I had built a magic circle in advance, my time and magic power would have decreased.

"Well then, I don't know what to do..."

The magic circle was prepared in advance... it would take some work to write it down.

Paper is good for writing letters and shapes.I had a paper dedicated to the magic circle, and I could add magic power to it by engraving it when I wrote it.

After that, I reacted to the chant to make it work.

"Alright, alright, alright, alright!" It's been a long time since I was motivated to create!! "

The "means to increase magic power" that I initially thought of had derailed a lot, but I felt that I could see the prospect of development that was very shabby.



I came up with a new theory at home, a few days later.

Arks was in the garden of Arvent Mansion.

Of course, on this day, there are not only one person, but also assistant A and assistant B.

What we're going to do here today is, so to speak, an experiment with an example theory.

Since then, I have been assembling the theory and prototyping the goods in my own room, and I have been prepared to a certain extent, so I decided to try what was done as a result.

I made the place my uncle's garden because the garden of my mansion was small.

You must be careful, because you have a previous record of ruining things.

"That's why I'm going to ask you to accompany my experiment from now on"

"Mr. Arkes, did you come up with anything else?"

Yeah, I guess so.

"It's been a long time."I'm expecting something interesting again. You're kissing me! "

"Expect me to see it."

Noah, who looked calm, but seemed curious inside, and Kazuy, who laughed strangely as she showed her turbulent teeth as usual.Show them the technique of slapping your chest like you can leave it to them.

"This is what you take out." Magic Scroll (Scroll)! "

From the bag I brought, I took out a piece of paper that was rounded in a cylindrical shape with a string.

Huh.

Huh?

There's a magic circle written on it.

Huh? Is that a magic circle that comes out when you use that magic?

"Yes, I wrote it down in advance."

When she was talking like that, Noah pointed out it while rubbing his eyebrows.

"Master Arks, what you want to do is ahead of you."What kind of experiment are you going to do today?First of all, I need you to explain it to me. "

Oh, I see. You didn't say that.

That's true. All I wanted to do was run away, and I didn't even notice that I hadn't explained it to them.

Well, when I think of something new, it's common for me to lose sight of my surroundings.

I also understand the magician's abilities, but thank you very much.

"Yeah, I got it."

I really appreciate you following me like this.

"What I'm doing here today is a magic power saving experiment."Normally, magic just casts spells and combines a little movement, but this time, in addition to the trouble of casting spells and exercising them... maybe by doing one step in advance before you exercise it, you can reduce the amount of magic power and time you consume when exercising it. "

"Before exercising? That means before you cast a spell, right?"

That's right. Before you cast a spell, let's do what happens immediately after you cast it.

"Haha. So that leads to what you just said, right?"

"That's right. The magic circle was the one I caught my eye with."I thought I would need that amount of magic power to build a magic circle.If we could do that kind of work in advance, we could save the amount of magic power needed to build the magic circle. "

Sure enough, there are some verses that use magic power in the process of creating a magic circle.

"Yes, indeed, the magic circle."And now you're saying that the magic circle is depicted in what Mr. Arkes pulled out? "

"Yes, that's what it is."

You switched from increasing magic power to saving it?

"... yes, I really want to increase it."I just came up with it and I wanted to do it. "

"I know how you feel. So, what do you think?"

Yeah, I'm doing some small experiments in the room.

“So the theory is already proven?”

"The magic on a small scale is amazing.You're not in the magic circle, I've prepared a string. "

I tried it several times in my room, but the experiment was successful.

After all, the amount of magic power used seemed to decrease in proportion to the amount of pre-work.

At that time, "words and phrases floating in the air after chanting" was combined as a hole filling in "spells chanted orally" to create a sentence (text code) and written on paper using alchemy magic.

After that, I determined the amount of magic power that I thought would be lost, assumed the number, and calculated it.I tried to make it perfect.

...... When I tried the magic with a small effect, the paper that painted the magic circle burned out.

Perhaps this will also be a one-time use.

But it's worth it.

"The magic used this time is quite large."There are many magic circles that draw strings proportional to it. "

And I said, "That's how the scroll came to be."

"That's what it's all about - then, let's do it!"Noah, I need a lump of water or ice to make it a magical goal. "

Got it.

He sees that Noah used magic to create a mass of water in the air, and holds the scroll in his hand.

And prepare to chant and enchant.

I prepared the magic circle of the Flame Spear (Flamelaroon).

Let's go ― ― Let's bury ourselves in this and turn our anger into fire.Raising a scorching roar, everything is over there! That way! "

While casting a spell, the magical scrolls emitted an unbelievable heat.

Before I could apply my magic power to the end, I accidentally let go of my hand.

The scroll (scroll) that fell to the ground produced a sparkling white scroll that eventually burned up.

Of course, magic doesn't happen.

“What, it's getting hot?”

"When I did it at home, it wasn't like this..."

I didn't know because it was a magic thing on a small scale.

"Maybe... but I'll try again!"

That way, take the spare roll (scroll) out of the bag and use the same procedure to exercise the magic as before.

However, the scroll (scroll) still emits a high temperature heat on the way with the magic power.

After all, I couldn't hold it by hand and let go of the scroll.

"I see... I'm serious..."

I thought it was a good move, but it was a failure.

Your knees are losing strength, and you're squeezing into it.

"Dear Arkes, if you can't hold it hot enough, why don't you let go?"

"No, we have to pour magic power into the scroll until the end of the chanting."Otherwise, it won't be the same as the magic circle floating in the sky.

Well then, why don't you move your magic?If that's the case, you don't have to have it, do you? "

In that case, we have to consider the attenuation rate when magic power is released into the air, so the estimation of how much magic power is put into the air is very difficult.

"If you want to do that, you should pour it in directly..."

The experiment was unexpectedly frustrated.

However, if this theory is correct, the [Magic Character (Arts Glyph)] 's time to make up the magic circle will be omitted, and the amount of magic power it is supposed to consume will be less.

So far, I didn't succeed with the magic that required the magic circle, so I didn't know if the magic circle would be reflected or if it would be without magic.

Well, that's not going to work.

"Still, in the case of Mr. Arkes, there's a lot of success."

"I won't give up." I'll definitely make this yours. "

The buds were about to get this far.I want to try to pinch it a little bit more.

“Dear Arks, I hear it's not a good idea for your thoughts to get stuck in that.”

"That's right. If it doesn't seem good, I'll have to think about cutting it off."But I feel like I can go.In fact, it was good in theory, wasn't it? "

That's for sure.

"Isn't it bothersome to write it on paper in the first place?"You also use magic silver and alchemy magic power, right?

"I'll cut you off if you need to."Rather, you might be able to use great magic just by keeping it that way. "

I see.

The amount of magic power you need will also change dramatically.

Yeah, I'll do my best there.

In any case, we should continue this experiment in the future.

Life is not so easy.

(Even so, in my case, I think it's too hard...)

With that feeling in mind, I cleaned up after myself with the servants and took the journey home.
