Sword of the Philosopher

Me and Sophia's magic fuse together to create a powerful attack...... it dawned from such an unexpected suggestion, and under the guidance of Anverate who mentioned it, we were to enter into practice. By the way, the other fellows have already returned, asked about the situation and started training separately. Romilda is also involved in this, and she seems to have had things to think of herself.

"So let's get started"

"Sounds like fun."

Standing alongside Sophia, I tell Anverate standing across the street. Somehow, not in Fallen Angel mode, she doesn't feel like she has a temper within, with a proposed distribution (though slightly younger for the purpose she sees it) such as a casual sister.

"Really? I never expected my research results to live in this way, so I might be glad to see the day in this way"

"... for once, we haven't decided to hire you yet, have we?

"Actually, it's pretty much a decision."

Take a peek at your confidence, Anverate says.

"In conclusion, I have no problem with magic. I told Devals to work on a quick pitch, and I figured it out in a day."

"... a lot. Well, don't be impotent"

"It's about fighting, so I need you to work as hard as you can."

Sounds like you're with an angel crying somewhere...

"Even between humans, it's certain that my technique can be employed. Oh, and I found another interesting thing."

"Funny thing?

"At the end of the test, we also tested what happens when you two mix your magic powers together. As a result, your ability to attack fallen angels is supposed to diminish, but mixing it up doesn't make it happen."

... good news, what principle?

"Exactly. I can't fully explain the theory in a day, but apparently the quality changes somewhat when two or more magic powers mix together. As a result, Mr. Luon's characteristics also change."

"That means that if we put this to the extreme, we can counteract Rothald enough"

"Correct"

Then I guess I'll have to do it... and I don't have any other ideas.

"That's why I'm really starting."

"Ok...... I'm curious that you're so whacked"

Anvelate that responds with a grin. I'm pretty sure you're scared.

"Well, it's a concrete way to mix things up because we're sure, but this is also technology, so we need to train. If you care, you'll be able to get in tune, even if it's quite a distance away, but you'll need a lot of time to get there."

"... sounds convenient, but I wouldn't ask that much. So, what do I do?

"Hold hands."

... I guess that means we need skin contact to combine magic with each other.

"Okay, yes"

Move your left hand and hold Sophia's right hand next door. Hmm, wait.

"Ah, Sophia. This won't hold a sword or anything."

"How would you like to do it during a battle if you talk to me later?

"... should I say that we should have a conversation with the swords at the point of joining hands?"

The anvelate groans as if it was somewhat frightening. On second thought, I've never really held hands or anything, but honestly, I'm even more concerned about it now.

I don't know how Sophia feels... but she takes a serious look. Yeah, let's not think extra.

"What do we do from here?

"Converge a little like magic out of magic. Focus it on the hand your skin is touching. Keep it in your body."

Do as you are told. Keep your hands together and perform the magic convergence quietly… gather it in your left hand.

"You're both well made. Then the second stage. Flush it out a little bit… but it feels like pouring magic into a hand connected to the target."

"That doesn't go directly into your body, does it?

Magic is basic, something like defense functions work just like flesh. For example, if magic is pushed from the outside, there are properties that exclude damage from the body.

However, this is a basic characteristic, with as many exceptions as possible. For example, temper. This is easy to understand when you imagine a person's five senses. Sometimes just touching magic can make some changes so that even a mere smell or unpleasant sound can hurt your mood.

Also, in the case of magic and the like, it has the effect of ignoring the basic properties of this magic, and since it changes them into something that has a physical effect in the first place, I don't really care about the basic properties.

"Yeah, right. Simply letting magic flow to the opponent only plays and magic releases outside. I'm not telling you to pour magic into their bodies. I just want you to create that kind of magic flow as an image."

"Okay."

Sophia agrees. I also replied "ok" to shape the magic flow as instructed.

Even so, as I told you, the magic did not enter Sophia's body, but went outside... where Anverate approached us and put his right hand over the connected hand.

"If we use this technology, we will use the magic of the previous stage. Even so, it doesn't have to be maintained, so to speak, it's like getting ready to blend magic."

"That tells me, doesn't it?

"Of course. Otherwise, I can't use it."

Anverate exercises magic. Even so, there is no change in appearance...... of

"Mmm, this is..."

"You've noticed. Although the two currently emit magic in an image that instills magic into the other's body, the magic of the two never interacts. It's like water and oil, if you like. The magic I exercised slightly altered the quality of both magic to mix the two"

"This change in traits also changes the traits that don't work for fallen angels that I have."

"Probably. Now, can you see that the magic currents between the two are linked and in a certain direction?

... Sure when you ask me. Until earlier, we didn't interact with each other. There is a single stream of magic. By analogy, until earlier, each of the two rivers just flowed on its own, but now it feels like it has become one and a big river?

"Pre-prepare is over. Even so, before you get used to it, the flow gets messed up in the alarmed gap, so be careful."

That's how he explains it, while Anverate speaks a new word.

"Then the third stage. Try using magic under this circumstance. Oh, I made the magic flow, so if you touch your fingertips without holding hands, you'll be fine."

Well, if you're holding hands, you won't be able to activate magic well either... if you're used to magic, you can activate it anywhere around your body or something, but this time it doesn't make sense unless you activate it from somewhere where Sophia and the flow of magic are combined.

Sophia, let go.

"Yes."

Loosen your hands slowly. The flow of magic is still going on. Nevertheless, it has remained magical all the way to this point. It uses quite a bit of nerve, even though it's not magically problematic.

"Magic that emits light bullets, okay?

"Yes."

I'll be ready to use 'Holy Shot' because I got a response. Sophia got ready again, and it didn't take that long to finish because it was junior magic. It takes a lot of time compared to normal though. Though there's no better way to do this than to be the first time, I can't use it in action.

"If you're going to use magic, you should both breathe together."

Anverate advice. I nodded, timing Sophia - unleashed the magic.
