The wooden box floats in front of Almark and Deg.

Deg laughed hard to stop Almark, who reached out in a hurry.

"It's okay, Almark. You're paying attention to that junior student's meditation."

That's how I slowly lower the crate to the floor.

The gradually lowered crate landed with only a faint sound at the end.

That's right.

Almark keeps an eye out.

"You're so quiet down there."

Well...

Deg smiles nicely.

"I don't usually do it because it's troublesome."

That way, I'll give Almark the stones in the crate.

Well, try Almark too.

"Okay."

Almark nods and places the stone on the floor.

Like Deg, I don't use a cane.

Gather the kneaded magic in the palm of your right hand and gaze at the stone on the floor.

The image is a long one.

Lift the stone with an invisible hand made of magic, stretching out its arm and placing it far away. Such an image.

Almark's magic lifts the stone.

But stones shake unreliably in the air.

Again, unlike when using a wand, magic is not stable.

Don't get me wrong. This is my strength. [M]

Almark tells himself that and strengthens his image.

Imagine.

A firm, unwavering hand.

As Almark's image rises, the stone tremor stops.

Oops.

Deg sounded happy.

"It's stable."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded and this time widened his image of stretching his arms.

The image of an arm stretching and placing stones on the floor beyond.

The stone fluffs through the air as it is.

Last time I laid it on the floor, there was a hard sound, but the stone fitted neatly into Almark's intended location.

"Done."

Almark looks back at Deg with sweat on his forehead.

What do you say?

"Yeah."

Deg nods with a smile.

"It's only been a year since I came to this academy, and I can do this already. Almark is awesome."

"Thank you."

"But"

Deg kept smiling.

"If this is the magic of our junior year, it's not enough."

I knew it.

Almark nodded.

"I knew that. Compared to your floating technique, my stone movement is not smooth at all."

"Well, I'm not that pessimistic."

Deg says in the same way.

"Maybe if you fix one or two of them, you'll be much better."

Really?

That's right.

Deg nods.

"I have the basics."

That's how I draw the stone that Almark moved to me with my magic again.

"What image does Almark have when he uses this magic?"

It's a long hand.

Almark answers.

That's what I learned.

"Yeah, that's what you learn at first."

Deg nodded.

"Miss Ilmis must be busy teaching Almark too much. Almark made it, so I guess it was good for now."

Huh?

Almark frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"So, um, that's it."

Deg scratches his head.

"I don't know, some of them don't fit that way."

"Doesn't it fit?

Almark is getting more and more confused.

"I mean..."

"What is it? Um."

Deg frowned all the time.

"Yes, I remember. Magic quality"

"Magic qualities...?

Almark's confusion is raging.

I don't know.

"I don't know, I don't know."

Deg looked as troubled as Almark.

"Anyway, according to the quality of each magic, they're better at it."

After saying that, Deg thought it would be quicker to show it, or magically float the stone again.

"There are two kinds of levitation after floating."

That's what I tried to say, but I looked at Al Mark's gloomy face and he looked in trouble again.

"Um, so I mean..."

Deg flies the stone far away.

The stone flew toward the wall of the practice floor with great momentum and stopped moving perfectly in the air.

"This is how you fly away."

Then pull the stone gently back in front of you.

The stone stopped snugly again in front of Deg.

"This is how you draw them closer."

Oh, is that so?

Almark nodded.

"But neither of them is levitation."

Yes, but I'm not good at it because of the way I imagine it.

Deg goes on explaining things that don't make sense.

"If you imagine a long hand, the magical one that works better is good at attracting. I don't know. He's another type."

"In other words, people who can't do well with a long image may be good at flying far away rather than attracting them."

"Yes, that's right."

Deg nods happily.

I knew Almark was a good guess.

"No, thanks to your explanation, I managed to figure it out."

Almark says.

Indeed, when Wendy attracted me in the fight against Volapa, I had the feeling of being grabbed and pulled by a big hand.

Wendy's magical qualities must have been yours.

"So, what do you imagine if it doesn't work out so well with a long hand?"

It's a pen.

"Pen?"

Almark looks suspicious.

"The pen..."

That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to write it by hand.

"Pen."

That's right.

Deg nods and puts a stone on his palm to show Almark.

"There are stones here now."

"Yeah."

"Draw a line with an image pen. A little space up there."

As Deg's words were finished or not, stones rose.

"And now I'm going to draw a line through the space with a pen."

That's how Deg looks at the wall.

A moment later, the stone flew into you with a fierce momentum.

After all, it stopped snapping just before it hit the wall.

"I have a little trick when I stop. I'm going to make a black circle around the line, but I wonder if each of them is there."

I see. It's much more linear than the image of a long hand. "

Almark sparkles at new discoveries.

"Yeah, it's a little hard to draw a line from over there, and sometimes it's not stable."

Deg said the stone came straight back to Deg and stopped moving.

Well, you're used to it.

"Wow."

"Get used to it."

Deg shrugs his shoulders.

"I have trouble moving, I use this magic every day."

I see.

The technology rooted in life is strong.

By using it naturally every day, the technology is sharpened to an unconscious level.

Almark knew about it.

After all, Almark's swordsmanship was rooted in mercenary life and polished.

"That's a lot to use."

"Yes, it is."

Deg looks happy that the conversation made sense.

"Speaking of which, Deg, you can do both long hands and pens."

"If you practice, I'll do my best."

Deg answered, not proudly.

"Look, there's something I want you to have in a hurry, but it's dangerous if you don't bring me a hot drink or something."
