"Um, my magic technique tells me" Spirit Magic "is still early."

[Breezewood] The afternoon after arrival, the four of us meet again to check the situation.

I asked Iris to ask me if I could get a reference to the Spirit Magic Institute when I went to each guild.

As the result goes, I didn't seem to get a letter of introduction.

"I knew I needed to remember some magic skills. Which, by the way, is the highest level of Illis magic skills?

"Er, [Storm Magic] is 29?

"I see. Which one, by the way, has the highest level in Twa and Yuki's magic skills? I'm [Lava Magic] a level max, though."

"I'm 45 for [Thunder Sorcery] and [Holy Sorcery]."

"I am [Holy Magic] Max at level 50"

"Hmm, so the judgment criteria would be about 30 to 40? It's possible that 45..."

"Well, let the professor look into the details. It just takes way too long to find out that much."

"So is that. Just text the professor."

"Copy that. Just give me a minute."

Follow Yuzuki's instructions and report the current status of the investigation to the professor by email.

Not long ago, the professor replied and sent me that the standard for getting a letter of introduction is "Advanced Magic Skill Level 40 +".

Apparently, we've already investigated things around here.

The e-mail asked me to go straight to [Northern Breath], where the "Spiritual Magic Institute" is located, so I was to follow the instructions.

There is no need for Illis to follow, but he was to follow us to open the transfer gates at the sightseeing.

Note that the area boss on his way to [Northern Breath] seems to be a deer monster called 'Giant Forest Dear'.

The weakness attribute seems to be the lightning attribute, so if I sharpen it all at once, it won't be a problem.

They only have 40 levels, too.

Run through the north gate of [Breezewood] on a horseback ride all the way to [Northern Bres].

Party organization is the same as yesterday, with Prochion and Aeril joining the party.

Ignore the monsters on the way because they're wasting as much time as you're dealing with them.

We got to the area boss about an hour and a half ahead of us, so we'll get ready for battle.

Basically, I'm planning on making up my mind at once with me and Aeril's thunderbolt magic, so there won't be any problems.

"Well, are you ready? Let the battle begin."

"Oh, I'm fine"

"Clean it up early."

"I'm fine, too"

It was started after we made sure everyone was ready, boss.

But for us right now, the level 40 boss was completely unobstructed and defeated by a quick attack.

"This is the first time I've destroyed the area boss Giant Forest Dear. Bonus SP6 points awarded.

After obtaining SP6 for the Boss Destroyer Bonus, he rushes north again.

About half an hour after the boss battle, he reached his destination, [Northern Breath].

After I reached [Northern Breath], I registered for the Metastatic Gate and quickly took a trip to the Spiritual Magic Institute, my destination.

There were many other people in the Spiritual Magic Institute who seemed to be Gentiles (players) besides us.

There seems to be some information on the message boards about "Spiritual Magic" and "Original Magic", so you're heading to a place where you can remember each skill based on that information?

Looks like there's a bunch of Gentiles here, too.

Well, that's about it to take a peek at what's going on around you. Let's go inside.

"Welcome to the Institute of Spiritual Magic. Do you have a reference?

The attendant suddenly asked me to submit a letter of reference at the reception as soon as I entered the laboratory.

"We have it, but we don't have this kid. Then I guess not?

"If you don't have a reference, you can't go ahead. Correctly, it doesn't make sense to let you through because you're not considered to have enough magic to pass the exam you're going to be asked to take."

"... Apparently, what about Illis?

"Um, you can't help it if you can't get in. We'll take a little tour of the city and then we'll go back to [Breezewood]. There's a lot I'd like to do over there."

"Okay. See you later."

"Bye Bye."

We drop off Iris, who didn't have a letter of reference, and each of the three of us left submits a letter of reference.

"... Yes, we have confirmed. This way, then."

"Oh, okay"

The attendant guides me down the hallway of the lab.

"With that said, why were references mandatory?

"Sometimes the study of 'Spiritual Magic' itself is somewhat confidential… lately, many people push it without a letter of introduction. Only if you say so, there's no foundation for dealing with 'spiritual magic'."

"Um, what is the foundation for dealing with 'Spiritual Magic'?

"I will tell you about that if you pass the exams you do after this. I'm sorry, sir, but please note that this is a rule."

"Okay. Thank you."

After that, while still asking the attendant brief questions, what eventually guided him was a magical practice-field-like square.

In the center of the square were prepared objects made of crystals.

"Now, I'll explain the exam better than this. Unleash your magical skills using magical resonance amplification toward the target of the Demonic Crystal in the center of that square. If you can crack or destroy the Demonic Crystal, you will pass the exam. Please note that the effect of items that amplify magic like magician wands is lost in this square."

I see, do we have to attack just by amplifying using the magical attack power of the vegetarian and the Spirit?

And to say that this is the content of the exam must be the minimum condition for remembering "Spirit Magic" that you are contracting with the Spirit.

Is that a reference?

"Well, then, let me give it a shot from you. Come, Magnus."

Sounds like Yuzuki will be doing the exam as first hand.

The Spirit of the Teak Moon, Magnus, is summoned to form a line of magic between it and the Teak Moon.

"Come on, let's go. Resonance amplification larva break!

Magic amplified with the Spirit is unleashed toward the Demonic Crystal, causing a huge explosion.

After the blast was clear, the Demon Crystal had a big crack running.

"Master Yuzuki passed, right? Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment."

"I don't mind, but do you mind if I don't swap targets?

"It's okay. Look over there."

Looking at the demonic crystals that were pointed out earlier, the cracks that were in the teak moon magic were being repaired.

"That demonic crystal is subjected to the magic of automatic repair. Try everything you can to repair it in about a minute, even if it smashes to pieces"

"Copy that. You don't have to shy away from anything."

"You will.... It's time for you to be okay. Please,"

Do you think I'll be the second?

Aeril seems motivated.

"Well, then I'll let you do it first."

"Yeah, good luck with that. Twa, Aeril."

"Let me go! I can't let that much demon crystal crumble in one shot!

Now the magic to use, but more limited to lightning attributes than using magic resonance amplification.

I just can't use Thunderbreak skills because I haven't been a level max yet.

... Looks like a good skill with high stand-alone power, do you want to go with this?

"Aeril, are you ready?

"Ok, you can always go!

"Then let's go. Thunder Javelin!"

The magical spear of thunder amplified between me and Aeril flies in a straight line toward the Demon Crystal and pierces the top of the Demon Crystal.

And the spear of thunder burst, and the demonic crystals scattered around the pierced area.

"Well, this is fantastic! It's been a long time since anyone broke the Demon Crystal."

"Really? I thought it was pretty good."

"It's sturdy to the extent that it can't be crushed without being quite magical. You've just signed a deal with the Spirit, and you can't scratch one."

"I see. … but you've already begun to repair it"

"If you can't fix it, it's a problem. … so thank you, the last one"

"Yeah, good luck."

At the end of the day it was Yuki and Shaina's turn, but this one was able to crack in without difficulty.

... If you look only at the results like this, I feel like I have the highest magic attack power, but it's my fault?

"Then you all pass. Congratulations."

Anyway, it looks like you passed the exam successfully.

I wonder if this completes the first step to remembering 'Spirit Magic'.
