Survival in Another World With My Master

Magic. I think it's the most important of the elements that make the fantasy world fantasy. Well, even if there is no magic, if the monster is wandering around and fighting with a sword or bow, it feels like that.

Well, it's called magic, but I don't understand the principle of operation at all. I can't feel it, but the main source of energy seems to be magic. It is said to be energy that resides not only in the air but in everything, but basically it is divided into three kinds: magic in the body, magic that exists naturally, and magic that resides in matter.

I see, I don't know.

"I can't explain it any easier."

The ifrita, who had shown me a picture of the ground with the twigs that I picked up there, turned a jito's eye.

"No, I understand the explanation itself. But how do you take energy out of there and convert it into a physical phenomenon, and what happens to the magic that became after the physical phenomenon? Is it magic? When I start thinking about it, I'm going crazy and I'm dying."

"I can't answer a lot of questions... First of all, they say we need to use magic to cast magic."

"Operation"

Yes, the procedure. Simply put, this is a colorless force that makes sense by adding color to magic. For example, in the case of the magic of a very simple fire sphere, three instructions are one technique: to become a fire, to become a sphere, and to fly to the point. "

That's how ifrita writes something like a pattern on the ground with twigs. This was a letter engraved on the Golem core of the Golem communication machine, or it had the same atmosphere as the text.

"However, the magic of this simple fireball doesn't have much killing power. It depends on the amount of magic you pour in, but even if you hit it with minimal magic, it will burn a little."

A ball of fire like a golf ball appeared at the tip of the Ifrita's finger, flying towards the sky. The fireball flew at that speed, but soon vanished.

"If we're going to increase our power, that is, our killing power, we're going to modify the contents of these three simple tricks or add more tricks. For example, if you become a fire, if you modify your surgery to become a flame, if you become a ball, if you become a spear, if you become a spear. Fly somewhere else to indicate that you can become a sphere, and put a modifying technique such as rushing between them."

"Shushoku Jutsuki"

"That's right. For example, this is what happens when you put in a rush surgery."

In the same way as before, a golf ball-sized fireball appeared at the fingertips of the ifrita, and the fireball flew over the sky at a speed unmatched to that of the aforementioned. The faster the speed, the longer the range seems to be.

"Hurry, the modifying technique is a major modifying technique used for most of the attack magic of the projection system. The faster the projectile magic speed, the harder it will be to avoid and the range will grow."

"I see...."

Modifications... Modifications. Uhhhhhhh... it's like a kind of programming language after all? I don't know enough about programming at all. It's impossible for me to be active in the direction of surgical development. Mm-hmm.

"I see, but do you really understand?

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"No, I can't."

"Yes, I can't. I'm sorry."

Keep your head straight down. Again, we'd better leave it up to the experts, yeah.

"But it's so complicated with one ball of fire... what does it look like with the magic of lightning Isla used before?"

"I've only been taught a little bit before, but I've combined nearly a hundred surgical procedures to match my size."

"That's amazing... by the way, you need magic tricks and tricks to use it, right?

That's right.

That's what I just said, right? With that face, Ifrita nodded. Yeah, I guess so.

"When a magician actually shoots magic, where does the magic trick unfold? If it's a magical instrument, it's carved into metal, but as far as I can see, it's not like this technique is projected in the air."

That's how I point to a technique written on the ground with a twig.

"In my head."

"Atama no Naka"

"Yes."

"Um... what does it look like as an image? Do you think of the pattern of this procedure in your head?

"Hmm... well, that's how it feels?

"Why are you so vague..."

It's almost impossible to figure out the principle of magical operation overnight... I've only asked the Ifrita yet, but I don't feel that the image in my head differs from individual to individual.

"Well, I see. Another thing I'd like to ask you is that Sylphie and the Black Forest Elves use spiritual magic."

"I see. I can use spiritual magic even if it's not a black forest elf."

"I see. Do you have surgery or something like that over there?

"I don't think so. Because ordinary magic and spiritual magic are different from principle. Normal magic uses magic to convert magic into various events, but spiritual magic uses magic to talk to the spirits and have them perform various events."

"... I see?

"Instead of having to do the trick yourself, if you try to cause a massive event, you need to use multiple spirits at the same time, so controlling it will be difficult. Besides, it would be nice if the spirits according to the purpose were conveniently present, but if they are not there, the disadvantage is that they cannot be used."

"That sounds more convenient than normal magic."

"That's not true. Since the Spirit reproduces the magician's image as it is, the degree of freedom of magic is much higher than that of spiritual magic. It's going to take a lot of imagination, and it's going to be hard to cause something that goes against nature."

"Heh, heh...."

I wonder if it is an application that specializes in the handling of wind, wind and fire. When using large-scale magic, multiple apps must be launched simultaneously, which puts a heavy burden on the operator who plays the role of memory and CPU. And then there's no spirits on the spot = If the application doesn't exist, we can't have the event we want.

Since the opposing magic is assembled and executed on the spot by itself, it can cause any desired event regardless of the presence or absence of the Spirit. However, in order to use magic that causes large-scale effects and complex effects, it is naturally necessary to put together a technique that is commensurate with it, so the difficulty increases.

That's a long and short story.

"That's what it is. So, what are you gonna do when you hear this? You can't use magic, can you?

"Surely I can't use magic, but magic is the technology that deals with the most familiar source of magic in the world. At least if we're going to make efficient tools in this world, we need to have some knowledge of magic."

I think it is necessary to develop machine civilization in this world, but because the civilization dealing with corner magic has developed to some extent, it should be easier to integrate the good parts of machine civilization into the current magic civilization than to develop machine civilization from the beginning.

"Hmm... that's how it is."

"That's what I think. In fact, airboards and Golem communication machines were created by combining the technology of my world with that of my world."

"Hmm...."

Ifrita is looking at Girojiro and me in a reckless way. I wonder what that suspicious gaze is.

"What is it?

"Stupid... nothing. Is that all you want to know?

"No, there's something else..."

"Alright, listen to anything. I'll tell you what I know."

"Thank you very much. Then it's magic consumption when I use magic....."

After that, I listened carefully to Ifrita about magic and magic.

Of course.

……

"Sorry."

……

"I'm sorry... I'll ask Ira next time."

Later on, Isla found out about it, and she was disappointed. No, as far as I'm concerned, I asked Ifrita if she wanted me to ask her a preliminary question, but she wanted me to ask her magical question. I struggled very hard to heal my mood.

"If it's a miracle, it's best to ask us."

"Yes, I'll answer anything."

"I'm not as good as the two of you....."

Ellen and the others who came back from a business trip to calm down told me about the miracle. I was taught...

"God answers my sincere prayers."

"Feel the serenity of your heart and the presence of God."

"It feels like you can get inside without dissipating outside"

"More theoretical? Bam, bam! It's almost the same as that, right?

Their lectures didn't help me at all, but I felt that Ellen's miracles and spiritual magic were similar to those of the same lineage. Because they both seemed the same in that they interfered with invisible gods and spirits with images rather than with magic.

In fact, I could hardly tell the difference between recovery magic and miracle recovery magic exercised by the Spirit of Light. After using Spirit Magic, the Spirit-like Ball of Light floats around me, which may be different.

Anyway, that's how I gradually accumulated my knowledge of magic.
