"[Hostile Breakthroughs (DITECT ENEMY)] ~. Well, I wonder if that nobleman is really on his side ~?"
"Shit. Why do you doubt people so quickly? Humans, don't you think we're going to believe each other a little?
"Fine, judge the effect of the spell, GM."
'Yes, sir. Gio's eyes were lit by nobility. Are you satisfied with this?
'I knew it. But I know there's hostility, but how hostile is it? Just that you're annoyed? Or are you trying to kill us?
"Come on - what do you say?
Damn, GM's old dialogue came back to life in my head.
The [Hostile Breakthrough (Detect Enemy)] spell does sense the enemy's hostility, but it doesn't even know 'how much' hostility it is. Worst of all, it could suddenly come clean and attack.
and so on.
Katakata, and a hard noise was heard right from the side. It was the sound of a boy and a girl honking their teeth as they stood in front of me and stuck out their magic sensing items. Her complexion is also blue.
You must be frightened by the baby red dragon that laid beside me. Baby, even though it's a monster that can be eaten away with as much bite as a human head, it's scary and natural. Looking at the magicians, the two other faces besides the guild chief and Crawler were worried that the dragon would strike.
I'm sorry I scared you.
Speak as calmly as possible and use [Disarm Magic (Dispel Magic)] against the Baby Red Dragon. As the red giant vanished through thin, the two exhaled heavily to relieve the tension.
"Do you feel comfortable putting it out or turning it off? Wow, I wish I was hallucinating."
I said it after Helidor waved one hand and called the boy and girl back. A gleeful expression, but the power of the spell does not delude hostility.
"I can get it out again, though.... Anyway, can I assume we're done arguing about whether there's 'magic' or not?
"Oh, of course. On top of that, I have another important question."
Did you hear about Crawler before? I'm talking about whether magic is my unique ability or a technology that people can learn and remember.
... How can I answer something I don't even know?
On the surface, Helidor seems to expect to be the latter though.... In the meantime, shall we talk on that line?
"Can you convey my magic as a technology? Kana?"
"Exactly! Our 'conquerors' mages believe that magic is the technology given to humans by their creators to fight the dark. If you have the opportunity to enhance that magic, it's the magician's job to do everything in his power."
Hmm? To the conquerors, creators. I don't know, another word I don't know. Let's ask Crawla about this later. But it would be a gratifying story from me to say that magic is a skill for fighting the dark.
"All I can say about that answer is, I don't know. However, I can explain how I can now use magic."
"Whoa."
Helidor and two other executives floated with joy.
But unfortunately his hostility has not disappeared.
Dozens of minutes later.
"I see...... That's an amazing secret."
"Instead of floating naturally in your sight, like a magic board or a magic letter, you dive into your mind yourself, …"
I finished explaining the whole "Magic Setup" to the magicians. How dare you set me up so fine? Of course, the necessary parts are cloudy, such as about training methods and magic gates that imagine the "inner realm" and about "preparation".
Still, it seemed quite a cultural shock to the magicians. Honestly, they've spent years polishing up real technology, while this one has pretty awkward stuff because they were just playing games.
"If what Lord Margils says is true, isn't it hard to master without training as young as possible, just like witchcraft?
"Right..."
The Deputy Branch Manager and Branch Manager started talking to you in secret.
It's not like I can't enhance my hearing and listen to secrets or read my mind snuggly...... I couldn't get that far because of my ethics as a Japanese that I still can't throw away and my guilt for their magician efforts.
"What do you think, Lord Margils?
Troubled, Helidor has made a flamboyant suggestion.
"First, why don't we do an experiment?
"Experiment?"
"Yes, a magical initial step is fine, why don't you tell me? I think that's the earliest."
"Well...... sure. But it's gonna take a while?
It took me years to train and in the end I can't use magic on people in this world (Sedia), how sorry I would be if it turned out. Besides, first of all, I'm not sure I can really teach him 'how to use magic'.... I'm pretty inclined to 'you can't teach' so far.
"Actually, I run a magic school in this branch. So now you're practicing a new way of educating magic that I've devised. We also gather a lot of talent for this. I want them to teach you your magic."
"Helidor! No, Branch Manager! That's no way..."
Here, for the first time, Crawla's got her mouth pinched. He had a sharp voice, but Helidor has a cool face.
"If they're" sorcerers, "you can use them for as many experiments as you want."
So what Helidor showed was a boy and a girl in black uniform who had followed him from earlier.
