Time has passed since the training began, when Lurii's magic run out was approaching.

Lurii looked at me and raised a voice of doubt.

"Mattie, are you doing something? I feel like some great magic is moving..."

"Did you notice?"

I was sitting on the ground, and I get up with that answer.

I'm not using magic like the Luriis, but I was working out without magic.

"This is meditation. Hit the magic in your body and deliberately overload the magic circuit"

"Magic in your body... does that feel like when magical control fails?

"Oh. It's like deliberately creating a runaway state when control fails.... perfect for building magic circuits because unlike just a rampage it happens evenly all over your body at the same time"

Failure to control magic can cause excess magic to burst into your body and cause damage to your body. It's a phenomenon known as magic runoff.

Lurii should have never failed so flashly because of his talent for magic control... but he should have experienced a few light runs.

Or no one can use unchanging magic firmly without ever rambling the magic.

Anyone learns how to handle magic while rampaging their magic around when they get used to it.

By the way, if you're a total novice, there's no runoff because you can't create a magic flow in your body that intense enough to run wild.

The outburst is a testament to the ability to manipulate magic.

"Have a magic rampage all over your body... doesn't that hurt a lot?

"Oh. So much so that when unfamiliar humans do it, it can lead to a real magical outburst.... So you should stop Lurii and Alma. Worst case scenario, it's going to damage the magic circuit."

Magic runoff, it hurts a lot.

It's only natural that excessive magic will burst around in the magic circuit deep inside your body.

Failure to control magic can lead some people to panic with pain, eventually pass out.

However, few humans have reached the point where the magic circuit is damaged. It should have been zero for the entire second school.

That's because at the stage when magic starts rampant, your body automatically works to stop rampant.

Even if you panic and try to accelerate your magic in a direction that accelerates your runoff, it doesn't mean that you can properly accelerate the magic in your body in such a mental state, so you can't go as far as to damage your magic circuit.

It's natural to take it for granted, because for the first time you can handle magic with firm will and sober control.

But meditation is different.

Unlike a magical outburst, you hit each other with a clear will.

That's why it hurts so much.

Not only does it hurt, but failing to add or subtract easily damages the magic circuit in your body.

So this meditation is a workout that only humans accustomed to magic manipulation and pain should perform.

Training and struggle may be closer than training.

Even I wouldn't have been able to train like this if I hadn't been used to pain in my previous life.

"No, because I can't do it if I want to..."

So Alma unleashes a magically enhanced arrow on the wall of the labyrinth.

The magic put in there had decreased to about 70% in the beginning.

"I, too, scrape my magic consumption, so I'm at my best! … but the magic consumption has been steadily decreasing…"

Lurii seemed to have wasted the demon stones he used to practice along the way, imparting a number of magic to one demon stone.

Naturally, it's useless as a magic prop... but it becomes a practice of granting magic.

... Looks like Lurii is already shredding his magic spending to the first 60% or so.

It'll take us a while to cut it down to half, but we're both doing well.

Illis on the other hand......

"Ahhh!"

Shortly after I did my eyes, Illis fell into a hole in the ground.

As always, it doesn't seem to be working very well.

Well, if training is going to change that dramatically in this short time, it's obvious because I'm incorporating it from the beginning.

But... it's a lot better than before.

Iris now would be able to hit the 'crash grizzly' about once every twenty times.

If it was Iris before he trained, even if he did it a hundred times, he couldn't.

This training was probably a success for this training.

"All right, it's time to go home today"

It'll be night out already.

Rest is important.

"Eh! Even though my magic consumption is finally decreasing! There's still magic left!

"I want to practice more!

"Yes! Finally, I'm not falling into much of a hole!

The three of them still seem to want to train, but with less magic left, their senses change when they control them.

Two people who are not yet used to handling quality magic should practice in a stable state.

Just because we have continued our training doesn't mean it has as negative an impact as it does... we need to get a little more efficient and strong to survive the battle with Greville.

Even though I'm on it, I can't let you train inefficiently.

"If I think about tomorrow and beyond, I can be the most efficient and strong to stop now or so. Resting is part of the workout."

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna push the Labyrinth Elevator button.

Almost there, you'll be picked up.
