The Branded Female Fencer

"Time control... I see, that's what you mean. You do need to buy some time."

"That's a good guess. It will take some time to rescue the Dark Witch. We need to buy some time before we're ready. Time controlled magic would slow down the growth of children in the womb"

"I see, now we have a purpose. Until I pray the Dark Witch lives in a state of decency."

The line pointed out the painful part, but Earthgal accompanied the words.

"Probably alive and well. The lack of any sign of the next generation of dark witches there is like a testament. Only two witches of the same class are born in the greatest world. If the previous generation dies, the next generation of witches will feel some sign.

Besides, the Spears' four sisters are forbidden to put their hands on the human world in any way but minimal interference. We don't know how he took the Dark Witch, but the Witch is part of the human race. Unless the Dark Witch makes a nasty attack, its safety will be guaranteed. "

"... indeed, there are no such signs. So that's a pretty promising way to do it."

"From the Great Demon King, who even survived the war, there's no way to get the Dark Witch back. I know it's pretty difficult."

Everyone on the spot sighed in dismay at the words of the line.

"Making another statement in that negative direction."

"But then do you mean the mentor will continue to bewitch Fostina? Then Fostina will stay in Tarram all the time."

"No, I'm going to teach Alphilis magic. I never leave Tarram, but maybe that's not how Fostina does it. When I move out of Tarram, a lot of other mentors are loud.

And that's why Alphilis has been working for me for a while. Oh, I guess you're all finally here. "

"Heh?"

Earthgal laughed and watched the alphilis who suddenly made the offer.

It was all over by the time Forminese visited Alphilis as a use of Luvere. The Alphilis were in training, and when Forminee told Luvere about it, Luvere had his head in the abrupt unfolding, but he couldn't possibly visit the Groundgal himself, roaring alone in his own room. Because one way or the other I don't have the power to stop Earthgal.

And Alphilis and the others were training in magic at Earthgal's workshop. Even when it comes to training in witchcraft, it is training to create resistance to psycho-manipulative witchcraft. It's like a kind of spiritual workout that you can do without being a magician, and only withstand the magic of Earthgal's spiritual attacks three times a day. The facade of being the first to be told that any more workouts were very dangerous, but that was a much tougher workout than they could have imagined.

First of all, the workout itself is momentary, but shortly after everyone had undergone witchcraft, they either vomited or fell into the spot. The line, which had little magic tolerance, was not just that, but the beginning and end of the first night when it was fevered. Everyone slept well every night in more draining training than I imagined, and I couldn't even have an extra conversation.

Among them were Alphilis and Larna, who completed their training as soon as possible. Exactly what should be called a witch, Larna had gained enough resistance in her fifth training. And in Earthgal's workshop, he showed enough aggressiveness to teach his magic. Earthgal didn't hate being begged to teach either, he was quietly teaching Larna.

And what also surprises Earthgal is the rate at which Alphilis is acquired. Alphilis can use time-controlled witchcraft from the beginning, but for a few seconds at most, which is also about a slight 'delay' and 'acceleration'. It was originally impossible to stop time altogether, or move at double speed, etc., but it was now being learned in three days that it would halve the flow of time, or the extent to which it would move at double speed. Groundgal was also rounding his eyes for this acquisition speed.

"(Those who can use time-controlled witchcraft are now almost gone. First of all, the method of acquiring witchcraft is not popular, and the people who can only learn witchcraft in their books can understand the concept in the first place. But I've never seen anyone learn to use it so fast. Even I triple the acceleration and half-day is the limit. I trained for over a thousand years on that too, but I just taught you the trick. Is this something you can handle well...)"

Earthgal asked an unexpected question when he saw the alphilis that made it easier for him to do the songs he showed first.

"Alphilis, how many different kinds of spirits can you see in this workshop? Or can you feel it?

"Hmm... maybe twelve? What's wrong with that?

"(Again, yes... is your child's power partly available?)"

Earthgal did not respond to the Alphilis question. By the way, when I asked Larna, there were three kinds.

In fact, there are countless other elephant people in this workshop besides the spirits of the basic attributes, but less than 20 are capable of direct dialogue or sense of their existence, even though it is a workshop built by Earthgal and himself. Since this workshop was made to gather spirits randomly, it would not be strange to have more spirits, but it would be to that extent that the limits felt by humans. Because the Spirit does not manifest itself to anyone.

If I could feel more spirits than that, it would become closer to the spirits and nature itself, not human beings. Or if you feel it, you'll go mad in human vessels. It was known among magicians that there were many madmen in those who excelled in the qualities of sorcery.

Among them, those who can use time-controlled witchcraft can feel the spirit of an elephant, but the sensibility of the alphilis was still unplugged. If it's something that doesn't freak out a lot, it turns out that Alphilis doesn't have the same mental power.

But while Earthgal was impressed, Alphilis didn't know what the question was intended to be, and asked Earthgal the question.

"Is it usually something you can't feel more?

"There are usually two or three kinds. By the way, there were about six kinds of your teachers. Still, it was more unplanned than a high magician."

"I know Master Aldrius!?

Alphilis can't hide his surprise in his exact name. Earthgal continued to enjoy the change in the expression of Alphilis.

"It just so happens. He was funny, so I invited him. Still, it takes a lot of talent just to get to this workshop, but it didn't seem to hurt him either.

He was an interesting man. The same goes for the flux of that life, but knowledge, flexibility of thought. Either way, I wonder if he's the one person in the last few hundred years who found it funny just to talk to. Stervese and I had a good relationship at one time. You know what?

"Yes!? What the hell is our master..."

Alphilis surprised by the breadth of his servant acquaintance, but Earthgal went on as a matter of course.
