"On the magical path...... no. I'd rather enrich my territory than train magic. [M] Magic is a means to that end."

I see.

If you answered 'I want to go down the magical path', with magic boosts and sets, I just had a hell of a strength workout... if it's just better to go beyond Bifgel, there's a much easier way.

"I get it. Then let's stop chanting first"

When I said that, my brother Lake opened his eyes to surprise.

"Suddenly no chant!? I can't do it with boulders..."

"I can't do more chanting."

The use of magic also requires mental stability.

There's no way you can use proper magic while screaming such an embarrassing line.

"So how do you do the magic?

"Of course that's how you gather magic in your hands..."

As I say, I gather magic in my right hand.

There's nothing wrong with collecting magic on your legs and head, but for beginners, it's still easy to handle, it would be the dominant hand.

Until now, I thought it would be easy.

"Gather magic? How do you do that, huh?

I don't know how to gather magic... so...?

Brother Lake, how have you ever activated magic?

What if there's a secret to chanting and doing?

"Wait a minute. I could have experimented."

As I say, I turn my hand to the tree my brother Lake was trying to hit.

And with all the embarrassment, I try to imitate what I just chanted and did.

"O magic of fire that fills my body, be an arrow, an enemy before me -"

Then, even though I hadn't manipulated the magic at all, some of the magic gathered into my hands.

It's like being forced to manipulate the magic in your body from the outside.

Furthermore, it attempted to be converted into magic in an extremely inefficient way - conversion stopped along the way and magic activation was cancelled.

He interrupted the conversion that was being made on his own because of my reflexively controlled magic.

... This is not a natural phenomenon.

Someone intentionally created this kind of system until I was reincarnated.

A system that allows extremely inefficient magic to be used without knowing the operation of magic.

But for what?

Although the natural idea is to say that magic is easier to use, it is too hard to use for that. If you want to trigger your voice, a shorter, simpler startup word is enough, and if you have this degree of magic in the first place, you can activate it as long as you can handle magic. There's no point in subsidizing it.

Given the current situation, this is more about not remembering the manipulation of magic, but the development of magic.

"Matty, what's the matter with you?

Whoa. I was thinking about it.

You taught your brother Lake magic.

Fortunately now, the problem is clear. And a way to overcome it.

"I was thinking how to teach magic manipulation...... I came up with a good way"

"A good way?

"Yeah. When you chant magic, you have a sense of magic moving, don't you?

"I don't know what magic feels like, but it feels strange."

"Try to disturb me. I think the feeling of manipulating magic is a little grasping."

"Magic moves...... let's try it"

That's what my brother Lake says, he plays that chant again.

As a result, the magic was activated… there was a slight disturbance in the movement of the magic.

"It's my current feeling... did you grab it?

"Somehow. Let's try again"

With that said, brother Lake repeats the same chant.

Now, it looks like they've stopped moving properly. The magic didn't work.

"Okay. What do I do next?

"Now you don't stop, you don't rely on chanting, you move your magic with your own power. I think it's easy to do when I gather it to my advantage."

"Okay."

Brother Lake's magic gathers in his right hand. I like the muscles inside. It's such a waste to keep him a lord.

With hundreds of years of training, you'd be a good magic fighter.

But now is not the time to do it.

"Next, then, imagine a flame coming out at the tip of your hand. If it's a very large flame, it won't work due to lack of output, so I think I should start with a small one at first..."

Shortly after I said that, at the end of my brother Lake's hand, a small flame lit.

If this were to happen, leaving the rest alone would lightly exceed Bifgel tomorrow. Brother Lake's crest is a second crest (a crest that doesn't feature at first, but increases in power according to training).

It's just a waste of time, so shall I teach you a simple way to practice?

Maybe he'll be more interested in magic combat.

"Looks like you got it. And then I think you should observe and remember the flames you put on yourself and consolidate your image."

When converting magic into magic, the most important thing is image.

If you try to quickly increase the power of magic, it's the quickest way to accurately image it.

... Well, it's because of the amount of magic I can handle, and that's the only thing that strikes me as fast as possible.

"Image? I don't think the image of flames is that hard..."

"Really? Well, try painting some flames"

"Okay. Like this...... that?

What my brother Lake wrote on the ground with tree branches was quite a mess deformed, chorejanaic.

My brother Lake also seems to know that something is different, but he doesn't seem to know where to fix it, and the more I try to fix it, the less the picture will look like a flame.

"Right?"

Images are more vague than you think.

So even if I try to shape it, if it's a painting, it's going to take a different shape than I thought, and if it's magic, it's going to lose its conversion efficiency.

Understand, remember and magically reproduce phenomena accurately. That's the first step in building magic.

My brother Lake, too, seems to have put it into practice quickly. The flames made by my brother Lake, who gathered his magic while watching the flames, looked a little bigger than before.

"I see. Now you're more powerful... Matty, are you really nine years old?

"If you're not nine, tell me how old you are."

I'm only nine now.

Counting from previous life, you'll be a thousand years old.

"No. I know very well that you're nine. Looking at Matty's magic and swords makes it seem so much less so. As a nine-year-old, I don't think many active burly adventurers can win. Brother, are you stupid?

I can't tell you exactly because I'm not familiar with the level of the world today, but I'm guessing you're a tough opponent for active adventurers on boulders.

Your body size and your underlying health are too different...

By the way, I can beat my father Castle now. [Magic attack] and using physical enhancement.

"You won't be able to catch up with Matty, but I'll try my best. If we lose to Bifgel now, we won't laugh."

With that said, brother Lake resumed his magic practice.

It was then a week later that my brother Lake activated flame magic hundreds of times more powerful than Bifgel and gained his reputation as the wizard of the Territory's best.
