Sword of the Philosopher

"I didn't get one of the sentences, so I thought you were dead."

The man who showed up was a fine figure with blue hair. I can easily guess that I haven't taken much care of that hair, as I can see some putting it to sleep.

"Oh, isn't that a no dail? Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

A man who sighs - no dail.

"A friend of yours?

Silvi walks over and asks Kuuza. Then Nordale shifted his gaze to us.

"Hey Kuuza. What about these people?

"He's one of the people I'm currently traveling with."

"You fellow...?

"What are those suspicious eyes?"

Kuuza said, "Nothing," and Nodail turned to us.

"Welcome to Academia, traveler. My name is Nodail-Mariber, and I'm a friend of Kuuza's."

... At least you're not the character that came out on the game.

Then we introduce ourselves to him and I open my mouth again.

"Uh, is Mr. Malibur an academic researcher?

"No dail is fine. As Luon said, I am a member of the Academia Research Institute."

"You, didn't you go into court?

Kuuza asks. Then Nordale shrugged her shoulders.

"At first, I was, but I wasn't strong enough, and I ended up working at the lab. It's cheap, but maybe it's a good idea because you have quite a life."

"... what about other friends?

"We're all staying. I mean, one of them, Alete, is in the world."

No dail to say proudly like you do.

"You didn't lean into town, you don't know, but what a mess you're getting to have one of the Sorcery Division's squadrons on you."

"Well, that's interesting...... I just have another requirement for visiting here this time. I want to finish you off."

With that said, Khuza showed Sofia by hand.

"Mr. Sophia is the man who signed with all four spirits. This is how I visited the Academia to be stronger than I am now."

"Well, then it's a spiritual relationship... let me guess about the professor"

"Are you sure? Then do me a favour."

"Leave it to me."

While they have the conversation, think about the earlier name… Arrete.

Nor did that name appear in any of the games. The person I know was definitely someone who belonged to the Sorcery Division, but it wasn't supposed to be the captain or anything. When it comes to it, I wonder if it means someone who has no connection with Kuza.

We'll follow Nordale's lead to the Academia premises. The building is white in contrast to the exterior walls, and there is a clean atmosphere.

"I ask you one thing, it doesn't mean Kuuza's back here, does it?

Nordale asks. The opposing kuza replied "Regardless".

"I have something to do with Mr. Leon and the others."

"Well... what about the magic arm? You up a little bit?

"Thanks to you"

Nodail laughs at the response - I don't think Kuuza's strength is currently at the top of the continent. There are magical attacks that are close to unchanging, as well as the ability to exercise advanced magic.

How many of the court magicians can use advanced magic...... Suddenly Nodail stops while he thinks.

"Wait here for me."

That said, he approached the nearby door and went inside. After some time he came out of the room… with a female professor.

"Who is it that is under contract with the Spirit?

Looks like it's about thirty. My skin is pretty even though I don't feel like makeup, but my eyes are a little bloody if I was asleep.

The woman wears a dark, habitual hair with a cedar robe. After glancing at us, he watched Sophia.

"Hmm, is that you"

"Do you understand?

"I'm studying myself. Besides, there were times when I was with you and I had a contract with the Spirit."

Says the female professor as she bites her yawn to death.

"My name is Hedda-Brands. The header is fine."

From there, we introduce ourselves - and then Nordale explains her to us.

"Professor Heada has a background in being a past adventurer. I'm sure Mr. Leon and the others will fit the purpose."

Well, that sounds good... when I nodded, the header smiled and showed me by hand to go into the room.

"It's going to be a long story, so why don't we have some tea? We need to start by asking you what you want to do."

Nordale takes his seat off and talks to the four of us at the header. The tea was brought to me by an assistant-like man.

I had the image of the professor's room, which was filled with research material, on my own, but that's not how her room was. Organized bookcase. Well-cleaned floors and desks. However, there are not many budgets for supplies, and there are signs of repairs in the furniture category.

"Oh, I see. Using the power of all four spirits,"

After hearing our explanation, Header leaked that feeling.

"It is not theoretically impossible to merge the magic of spirits with each other. But most people have a hard time doing it."

"Any reason?

"Yeah. I know because I remember doing something similar."

That's right, he prefaced, and after drinking tea, Heada started explaining.

"Simply put, it's a qualitative problem of human magic. Starting with the magic sword, there's gear that doesn't suit people, right? Just like that, the Spirit is compatible with the Spirit… But the Spirit's contract doesn't mean that the Spirit can't make a contract because the Spirit" matches "the Contractor's magic."

"Some people have attributes that they're good at or bad at."

When I pinched my mouth, the header said, "Correct."

"For example, I was compatible with the local attributes, so when I was an adventurer, I used the local attributes mainly. But on the contrary, it was not compatible with the wind attribute. More than using magic, I'm really not that good at it."

- For example, I can use magic of all attributes, but I am good at it or bad at it. Most of the time, I have been forced to raise all my attributes in training.

"Well, if you work out even if you're not good at it, you'll be able to use magic at the same level as the attributes you're good at. However, if we merge the powers of the Four Spirits, it doesn't work either."

"Not unless you're good at it all," he said?

Sofia question. The header nodded instantly.

"In my case, I couldn't really blend the forces of the wind...... so Mr. Sophia. The power to merge the powers of the Spirit is so rare. Plus, that method is definitely going to be a powerful weapon."

"If we were to work out now, how long is it going to take to get it done?

"I'm sorry, but you don't know. But I don't think this is going to take decades because it means we're blending forces at this stage... there's no precedent, so I can't say anything from here."

"Really..."

"But, well, it's not a good idea to give up before you do anything. Shall we try it first?"

"Yes... here, is it?

"Once there's a place like a training ground, it means we're moving that way."

With the words of the header, we move our seats. Sophia had a harsh look on her face about whether she could really do it, but the header seemed to have found certain possibilities in her.

Can Sophia's moves be utilized in action...... that was going to change depending on how the header sees it.
