114 – 2. ■■’S Summoner (61)

“Hechit!”
Sniff
Rui Shirogane sneezed in the high-pitched sound of a rodent, then sniffed her nose and began to look at me resentfully.
In a dungeon that cools down faster as the temperature rises, it’s only natural that they look at me like that after making it heat up to the brink of death and then leaving it for about an hour.
This is because no matter how much an Awakened person is a superhuman beyond the human realm, and even if they can strengthen their bodies with magic, there are definitely limits.
Still, there’s nothing to be offended by using Kalion as a shield to keep him from being hit by the sharp north wind like a sword, and lighting a fire. It’s not that I didn’t follow up, it’s because I did everything I could.
I know that, so I’m only looking at it that way. Still, thanks to that, the basic frame has been completed. I sighed in places where there was an end and concentration was cut off.
“…Did you finish it?”
“For now.”
In response to the sinking reply typical of a person who has died, I calmly replied. Even though he was openly showing off, when I didn’t accept it, he pouted his lips and turned his head away, as if he didn’t like it again.
Nevertheless, looking at me with a smile is completely childlike. Ignoring her reaction, I ordered the half-finished spell to be used on Kalion.
Hwareuk!
The flames rose above the magic circle drawn in the air. It slowly changes its shape and takes the shape of a sword. This is the form of [Magic Field] Added to fire to fix the temporary form.
If you use it in real combat, Shirogane Rui will act as the [Magic Field] Without using [Magic Field] Separately.
“…Pretty.”
Looking at the sword of flame like that, Shirogane Rui looked at her, her eyes twinkling, forgetting that she had even pouted.

Now that I’ve turned my attention to the next experiment.
Rather than her lengthy explanation, showing her with her own eyes and letting her learn by following would suit her better.
Concentrates the flames on the fire sword. Blow into the fire as if quenching, and put out the fire. Every time it was repeated, it repeated that the demon’s field turned red and then white.
However, at some point, the color of the magic field began to remain red even after the fire was removed.
“…!”
She instinctively guessed that the phenomenon that had just occurred was the same as heat accumulating in her own body, so she changed her eyes and began to seriously understand the phenomenon.
In the state where the energy of fire is accumulated like that, the heat of the demon is released at once. The location of divergence is at the tip of the blade.
Chi-Ik!!!
The same noise as when opening the lid of the rice cooker. At the same time, the heat that spewed out instantly released the power that had been condensed so far and scattered hot air in all directions.
If fire and mana were added there, it would lead to an explosion. However, the current reproduction is not to show the principle of the explosion, but to show the appearance after the release, so the process was deliberately excluded.
“What I just showed you is the method that seniors usually use.”
If you show the magic field up close, the blade of the discharged part was severely damaged, and further cracks occurred, making it impossible to use.
“Huh? Uh…”
The expression on her face as she grasped the entire process was stunned.
Even if I don’t explain separately, it’s natural that I know the level of risk as it’s my skill.
Then why was she surprised? Is it more destructive than you think? No, no.
The reason she is now dazed is probably because she grasped and reproduced the technology she developed in just two hours.
If it weren’t for the scam called Carrion, it would be impossible, so I hope you don’t look at such a monster as if you were looking at it.
“As you can see, great destructive power can be obtained by condensing the heat into one point and releasing it, but it is inevitable that a lot of damage will accumulate due to the burden on the body.”
Kalion, who read my will, quickly completed the restoration by adding magic to the broken magic field. Unlike the previous show, the ship speed stopped at the place where the heat gathered quickly.
“There is only one point of improvement that came to mind.”
I’m not trying to solve the heat all at once, but I’m adjusting it so that it always stays at a certain level from the beginning.
“I also try to keep the heat as low as possible…But that’s not as easy as it sounds.”
Upon hearing her explanation, Rui Shirogane immediately gave up a negative impression. That’s her strength right now. There must have been nothing she hadn’t done in these three years to control the heat in her body.
As if to prove that she was right, she started listing her achievements.
She tried to equip an artifact that emits cold air to cool down, and also drank an elixir containing cold air.
But they were all stopgap measures. Her temperament, the [Descendant of Fire] Who controls the fire demon, was too different to be glossed over with such things.
No matter how much I raised my resistance to fire and strengthened my body, the result was the same.
The more you use fire, the more your head gets blank. The field of view naturally narrows, and in severe cases, it may shake. Accidents gradually slow down. The feeling that the brain is boiling and the mouth is dry. It was as if I had been thrown naked into the scorching desert.
It can’t help but laugh that even if you are thrown into a real desert, you will only find your mouth stinky with sand, let alone the heat.
The volcanic lava that melts a person’s body as soon as she touches it was lukewarm to her.
No scare in this world can hurt her. All she can do is her own fire. That’s why only the heat created by the fire chokes her throat.
The stronger the power to handle fire, the faster the heat rises. Rui Shirogane felt sorry for that fact.
I think I can burn a little more fiercely, a little more fiercely. Her own body gets in the way. That is why she always repeats incomplete combustion.
Her fuel, which had always kindled her own fire, seemed to choke her throat as black methane. She was frustrated She tried to somehow release this crampedness, but the result was all failure, failure, failure.
The method of bursting out this tedious heat at once is also one of the methods that she accidentally got caught while swinging her own body severely as if to harm herself.
“But you say you can solve this…?”
Unknowingly, a smile forms on her lips. It’s not a mockery. It is a laugh that comes from desolation and resignation. Her helplessness quickly eats away at her.
“I can.”
“Ugh…!”
Rui Shirogane gritted his teeth at the careless words of her assertion as if her troubles were not a big deal.
It seemed that all of her own efforts, which she had struggled with so far, were being denied. But she went above and beyond her expectations. How much did she expect so far. And how many failures and complications she had tasted.
I know. It’s just that this may be a useless expectation again. Even so. Since you’re asserting that, wouldn’t it be bad to believe it one more time?
“…Whoa.”
Thought so, Rui Shirogane slowly loosened the strength in her tightly closed mouth. His lips quivered at that, but he tried to ignore it.
“…Really?”
Perfect!
There was no answer. As his fingers rang, the fiery weapon in the air began to emit light once more.
Unfortunate sight. Needless to say, it will prove it by showing it directly, just like before.
“The image is an air conditioner and a refrigerator. You don’t need to know much about the structure or the methods used inside. The important thing is the phenomenon itself that can maintain a certain temperature through a medium called a refrigerant.”
Magic power is no different from eating more than half as long as the image is solid. Even if it’s not clear, the magic moves with just a rough image of the method.
It is like art. People can draw by repeating the act of moving their arms and wrists without having to learn how to draw separately.
If you add learning to it, you can complete it more delicately and perfectly. In short, it can be seen that the perfection of the image in the operation of magical power is directly related to the perfection of the result.
So I dared to point out the air conditioner and refrigerator. Because they are the most melted in life and give a representative coolness.
Perhaps it was because of the explanation that was so far away from what he had learned so far, he had a bewildered look on his face and it was clearly visible that he was still confused.
“The concept itself is easy. Think of the room as your body.”
“Body, to the room?”
“Yes, taking this sword as an example, the sword itself could be seen as a room. In short, you can think of it as a vessel that contains energy.”
When I told the story in a fantasy-like way, I started to nod my head as if I finally caught on. I continued talking while showing the magic field that had turned red with heat even after the fire had been removed.
“Assuming that the room is full of heat on a hot summer day, you need to turn on the air conditioner to cool the room. What do you need to make it work?”
“Uhh… I should turn the power on first, right?”
“And I set the temperature with the remote control how far I want to adjust it.”
Karlion, who read my thoughts in real time through [Link], Made a fire next to the mare.
“This fire has a heat equivalent to the accumulated heat. Remember.”
“…Yeah, I definitely remembered.”
Even if she rots, she is said to be Junchi, and no one can follow her in matters related to fire. She said at the same time that she was being tormented by the fire and that she was also suffering. In order to solve her pain, she would literally repeat her bloody efforts.
The proof is that they understood the flames in operation just by seeing them. It reads things at once that can’t be known unless you have a decent level of understanding.
After thinking that far, I closed my mouth for a while and caught my breath.
Is it really right to teach this woman this power? The trouble was short-lived. It’s already spilled water. It was too late to go back.
“Then, here comes the turn of the air conditioner mentioned at the beginning. Air conditioners usually have indoor and outdoor units as a set. What could be the reason?”
“Uh… Take the hot air out and put the cold air in?”
This is only half correct. In her thoughts, there is an image of blowing hot air out, but the process of creating cold air does not exist.
This is because they do not know the principle of cooling by vaporization heat.
“Have you ever seen people spraying water on the street on a hot day?”
“Yes, I have.”
“That’s the same principle as an air conditioner. When water is sprayed, the water vaporizes and absorbs all the heat around it when it turns into water vapor.”
“…Because the heat is used for vaporization, isn’t that how cool the surroundings of the water are?”
Correct answer.
If I explained it in an easy way up to this point, she must have caught on to her feelings.
Although she seems somewhat stupid at the moment, swayed by her own powers, it is certain that she is vastly superior to her average counterpart just by being in this academy.
So, since she has a sense of it now, she can catch up quickly.
“But this…”
“Yes, it is similar to the one-dimensional heat removal that you have been using so far. So, we need to do more research here.”
Hwareuk!
The fire burns.
“However, all of this must be done with fire.”
Gulp
Rui Shirogane took a deep breath at my words and nodded slowly.
“The first step is compression. This process itself is not much different from what the seniors have done so far. But you have to keep compressing it without letting go.”
The fire on the outside of the sword is slowly compressed. The bright red fire was compressed and shaped into a shape close to a ball.
The size has become smaller, but rather, it shines a much brighter light than before, showing off a hot presence.
“Do you remember that fire and heat outside are equal?”
“Yes.”
“From now on, this fire will serve as a hot outside.”
“…??”
Looks like you don’t understand. How does the fire act out hot? From there, you are only doing one-dimensional thinking.
Even I, who had the notion of a completely different world, had adapted to the unscientific crystal of magic, but it was pitiful that the people who had lived in this world from the beginning couldn’t adapt.
“…In the first place, this fire is burning with magic power, not matter. It describes the phenomenon of burning a resource called mana and releasing hot heat and light.”
With fire magic, you can create infinite fire. It is often misunderstood.
No matter how successful the magic is, if there is not enough mana to burn, the magic fire will be easily extinguished.
In other words, magic itself does not create fire.
Most of the spells that are the main axis of fire magic focus on ‘ignition’. The primary purpose of magic itself is not to burn mana, but to ignite embers.
The embers that bloom immediately burn magic and create flames. Controlling the fire thus created can be seen as the very origin and foundation of fire magic.
Therefore, no matter how much fuel (mana) there is, if there is no ember (spell), the fire will not light up.
This is why those who have no aptitude for magic cannot use magic no matter how hard they struggle. This is because the aptitude for fire magic is the power to create embers.
In other words, fire magic can be seen as an increase in size by infusing mana into the embers.
As long as the supply of magic power does not run out, it continues to burn. It emits light and heat in the process. If you cut off the supply, it will turn into sparks and go out.
From noble mtl dot com
Thus, fire magic is structurally no different from having the property of wanting to return to the original embers.
This is close to ‘heat of liquefaction’ in a sense.
The opposite of the heat of vaporization, the energy released when the gas turns back to the liquid is the heat of liquefaction.
Just as the heat of vaporization takes heat from the surroundings, the heat of liquefaction releases heat to the surroundings.
The same goes for magic. The heat remains as long as fire magic is used. As a result, heat remains. When the magic disappears, the heat also dissipates quickly.
Then what options should be taken to quickly remove the heat remaining in the place where the flames swept away?
The answer is simple.
To prevent the phenomenon of heat itself from remaining, interfere with the magic itself, collapse the framework of the basic magic formula, and make it into something that never existed, or cancel it by striking reverse magic.
It is the latter that she has to choose. Water must be sprayed to cool the heat.
In other words, it is necessary to generate magical heat of vaporization. For that, it is necessary to intentionally put out the ‘fire’ that is equivalent to the heat that the body loses.
If you cut off the supply of magic power, you’ll say it won’t go out, but then it’s no different from a simple dispel. The heat used so far remains as it is, and the heat of vaporization and heat of liquefaction become meaningless.
Constant temperature and pressure are necessary for cooling by vaporization heat.
The round fire now positioned next to the sword satisfies both of these requirements. The rest is to prepare ‘water’ to put out the fire and make it collide, taking away heat energy and cooling it quickly.
“Fire retrograde is water. Among them, fire is not bad, and rune words with true meaning are selected and combined with fire.”
This is what was completed.
Originally, a scientifically impossible concept, but a crazy mystery combination that was forcibly realized through magic.
It’s hot…
That concentration rises on my hand.
A mysterious flame that emits water-blue light close to light sky blue. Shirogane Rui’s gaze was fixed on that flame.
From now on, her eyes shimmered with a firm will not to miss her even for a moment.
It is not that it burns with high temperature and looks blue. It has a blue color because it has the energy of water.
That color itself also originates from my image, so it would look like that.
“If I had to name it, let’s name it something like [True Flame].”
This is because it is literally a fire with the power of water that has a calming effect.
It burns more smoothly and transparently than conventional flames. Just looking at the fluttering flames, like the rolling waves, seemed to bring peace of mind and body.
It seems that this effect was obtained because the effect of ‘soothing’ was grafted onto fire.
As if to shake off the flame, I headed to the place where the fire compressed into marbles was located.
Chuuuk…!
At the same time, a sound resounded that could not be produced by fire and fire. It was a dull sound, like pouring water into hot oil and putting a lid on it.
The flames bounced off each other, without flashy shimmering, the flames of each color calmly intertwined and reduced their size.
As the flames of the demon dies, the heat inside cools off quickly. All that remains is to repeat this until all the internal heat is taken away and disappears.
After clearing the light blue flames, there was a magic field that returned to its original white color without any damage.
“…Ah.”
After confirming that appearance, Rui Shirogane let out a short sigh. Then she lowered her head and trembled briefly.
Hwaruk
At the same time, flames rose from her body.
She struggled to somehow imitate the [True Flame] Created by Carrion, but the flame only grew bigger the more she did it, and it didn’t go her way.
This is a matter of course. It was only possible because of Kalion that it was naturally possible. In order for her to maintain the same form as that one, it would take more effort than now.
“Ugh… Uh…”
That’s why she didn’t give up. She did not stop using fire even when she stumbled and collapsed as the heat engulfed her body.
As expected, she began to see a clear path in front of her, who had been wandering in darkness for which no answer had been seen until now. I can’t just stare blankly at it.
She will run desperately to reach that road right away.
‘This solved most of the problems.’
Through this opportunity, she, Rui Shirogane’s improvement in her skills is as if it has been confirmed. Her teaching staff, who know her better than anyone else, will notice that.
Also, the [Soothing Flame] Created this time and the heat removal technology using it have practical value as they can be applied not only to her, but to everything related to her heat.
Therefore, [Development] And [Creativity] Are no different from passing.
The rest is [Cooperation]… That depends on how far she can grow in the remaining four days.
I said, looking down at Rui Shirogane, who had completely stretched out on her floor from the heat and started to play around.
“Senior, this is homework. Master it for the rest of your time.”
If you ask for a sample, I’ll show you again anytime. But further explanation is over. I’ve invested this far for you, so don’t bother me anymore.
“Ugh…”
When she conveyed her thoughts without hesitation, she nodded her head slowly, even though her exhausted heart was about to cry. With a satisfied smile on my face, I sat back down.
Because there is still a lot of time left before clearing the dungeon.
Slurp
After receiving and drinking the Calorie Mate that Hive gave me from the shadows, I still had the pure white scenery in my eyes.
