next day.
I gathered people in Gracie’s lab.
Once the mana stones were crafted, uni.
Ena who made the staff’s rod part.
Professor Robert, who will synthesize the mana stones and the rods for the staff.
Finally… … .
“Ehehe… … .”
“Luna, I’ll take care of you.”
“Nope! I’ll take good care of you!”
It was Luna who would oversee all this process.
There were several reasons why Luna, not Robert, took over as supervisor.
First of all, there was only Robert who could synthesize mana stones and rods, and there was only Luna around me who had knowledge in this area other than Robert.
Actually, Luna seems to be busy these days, so I thought about taking on the role of the supervisor, but I heard that Luna was free, so I asked her.
Fortunately, Luna gladly accepted it.
Actually, I had a problem with taking the role of supervisor.
The supervisor is a position that comprehensively checks the problems in the magic circle.
If I, who created the magic circle, took charge of it, I lost too much objectivity.
In such a situation, it was reassuring to hear that Luna would be the supervisor.
“Then shall we begin?”
At Robert’s words, everyone held up the paper and looked at Robert.
The reason we all gathered today was to get feedback on Robert while synthesizing the rod and mana stones.
The balance between mana stones and rods.
He watches as Robert combines the two to find a compromise.
It was the most important process when creating the staff.
Depending on what happens at this time, the balance of the staff and the effect will be adjusted.
It was difficult for me to go through this process several times because my capital and time were not so relaxed.
So this time, we had to catch the problems well.
“Then let’s start.”
“yes~.”
“all right.”
Yuni and Ena answered.
Luna stood next to me and asked.
“By the way, what kind of magic circle did you engrave on the mana stones?”
“Ah, mana efficiency has been increased and the effect has been amplified.”
Why the staff should change depending on who uses them.
That’s because each staff member has a different effect.
The magic circles engraved on the staff took a different form from ordinary magic circles.
Unlike ordinary magic circles that fill the center of the main magic pattern, the main magic is not filled in the center.
Just leave it blank and build the mana circuit around it.
If you leave the magic circle behind and create a staff, now the magic circle used by ordinary wizards is engraved and erased repeatedly in the center.
In a word, the magic that came out through the staff came out through the magic circle.
The staff was a passage.
A passage between mana stones and people who use magic.
taken from noblemtl.com
Mana moves through that passage.
When you reach the mana stone through the passage, it will be blown out through the magic circle in the mana stone.
The operations could make the magic that is emitted stronger, make it cast faster, increase the speed of the magic, or add various effects to make it come out.
“But did you use an ordinary magic circle than I thought? By the way… … ”
“yes… … It’s normal, but… … In a way, it’s an unusual magic circle… … .”
I smiled awkwardly and said to Luna.
As I said to Luna, what I engraved on the magic circle was the magic circle that increased the efficiency and effectiveness of magic.
Obviously, there are effects that depend on ordinary staff.
The problem was the magic I used.
The main magic I use is black magic.
However, black magic is magic that requires precise control of the amount of mana.
However, enhancing the efficiency or effect of mana was a factor that interfered with the amount of mana in a way.
When engraving black magic into the magic circle, I was drawing only one type of magic anyway, so I could calculate the amount and manipulate it so that only the correct amount of mana was used, but the staff was not.
You have to keep using different spells and putting in different amounts of mana.
So, the staff of those who used black magic often added additional effects, and there were many people who did not use the staff.
Even without the use of a staff, black magic had a certain effect, and if you used magic by making a sacrifice, you could achieve a similar effect without the need of a staff.
Still, the reason I wanted to use the staff was to become as strong as possible.
Now, the opponents I have to use are many times stronger than me.
Those who have lived many years longer than me and have learned magic for a long time.
In order to defeat such people, it was necessary to prepare in advance.
I prepare for that person through the information and research I know in advance, and the magic also increases the power several times through the staff and sacrifice magic.
Only then can you defeat them.
I was slowly feeling the limits of my efforts.
The difference between talent and hard work.
someone says
Hard work can never beat talent.
If a talented person works hard, isn’t it the talented person unconditionally wins?
I admit some of this saying, but I thought it wasn’t a story that could be used in all battles.
It’s a fight, it’s a test, and it’s a one-shot match anyway.
Some lose, some win.
In such a one-legged match, I thought several factors were at play.
Luck can be a part of it, and information that is many times greater than others, such as preparation in advance, can also be a force.
In a word, it was said that even if I had excellent magical talent, I could win a battle.
As I smiled awkwardly, Luna nodded.
Luna must have felt strange that I, who uses black magic, used such a staff.
“I’ll see you at once.”
I kept an eye on the situation without taking any action.
click.
Robert put the mana stone on the rod Ena made.
Then the light began to rise from the mana stones.
The mana stones reacted to the mana circuit on the rod.
“Come on then.”
Robert indifferently picked up the wand and started pouring mana into it.
Ena and Yuni swallowed their saliva.
Even so, it was a little strange to see Yuni looking at the situation with such a nervous expression.
Well, Yuni worked hard to make those mana stones, so it was understandable.
However, I was the most nervous.
It was me who designed the magic circle engraved on that mana stone, and it was me who made up the mana circuit of the stick.
Luna was watching the composition of the mana circuit and magic circle of the rod that I had constructed.
Then Robert looked at Luna and said,
“The mana circuit is blocked at the bar. Look at the main circuit side, not the detailed circuit problem.”
“Yeah, I think I’m going to run out of mana on circuit 3.”
Luna immediately checked the side of the pole and said to Robert.
“The response from the mana stone side is also slow.”
“Yes, I did.”
“The amount of mana reaching the mana stone is not constant.”
“yes… … .”
… …
So the practice is over.
“What kind of magic circle do you have like this?”
Robert looked at me with a frown.
“Yeah, I think it’s a novel attempt to try… … . It seems to be working… … .”
Luna made excuses for me.
“Then what do you do? Are you going to use this in practice?”
Robert said while holding a smashed mana stone.
“If you want to write something like this, you can’t do it this way. The stick part is more problematic than the mana stone. The magic circle can be used in any way, but I can never use these wands.”
Robert spoke roughly as if he was annoyed, but he did mention some details.
“How can this mana circuit stick withstand a magic circle where mana goes back and forth twice? can’t stand it No, if you use it multiple times, you can’t even stand mana stones.”
The method I used to increase the effectiveness of black magic.
It was like a calculator.
When using black magic, increasing the efficiency changes the amount of mana you need to put into it.
Therefore, it was necessary to know the amount of mana that changed dynamically.
Once you use the staff a lot, you will get a sense of it, but there was a problem with using it right away.
So the method I used was to put black magic into the staff’s magic circle, calculate the amount of mana required, and then inform me.
Then I had to use the magic to use it properly.
However, the problem with this method is the fact that mana flows back once.
Normally, the mana circuit that enters the staff flows in one direction.
It only needs to flow from the human side to the mana stone, but with this method, the mana once flowed back and had to come back to me.
Of course, it was possible to re-create the return circuit, but if the circuit was configured in that way, the weight and size of the rods were difficult to bear, and there was a big problem in terms of money.
So, I had no choice but to construct a bidirectional circuit.
It wasn’t the first time I’ve used such a bidirectional circuit, but it’s not a circuit I use often, and it wasn’t easy to configure.
I asked Robert.
“Then how would you do it?”
“How can I do it?”
Robert looked at me and asked.
“As mana moves through the two-way circuit, mana leaks in the middle, and the circuit is worn out. Then what should I do?”
“… … .”
I couldn’t come up with an exact answer.
“Also, the magic circle that entered the mana stone has to do too many calculations. The idea of calculating the amount of mana of black magic and sending it to you is good, but the mana stones cannot withstand it.”
Then Luna raised her hand.
“Oh, I just marked that part roughly!”
“mark?”
Then Luna handed the paper to Robert.
It was a brief moment, but a piece of paper with a lot of notes on it.
Robert looked at Luna with a puzzled expression.
“If we change it this way, wouldn’t it be possible to reduce the overload of mana stones? I’ll have to use a better mana stone though… … .”
“You can do it this way.”
At Robert’s words, Luna’s eyes widened.
“Maguire deserves praise. But my disciple… … .”
Robert paused as he spoke.
I doubted my ears.
student?
“Did you say you’re a disciple now?”
“not.”
“Didn’t you?”
“I didn’t.”
Robert threw the broken staff at me.
“Take care of this, kid. You only care about the strangest things.”
“You know how to take good care of this.”
Then Robert sighed.
“Then take care of your surroundings.”
“around?”
I looked at Robert with a puzzled look.
Robert glanced at Luna next to me and turned around.
Come to think of it, I heard this from the North as well.
Astina also told me to take care of my surroundings.
Hearing the same thing from someone else made me even more suspicious.
What does it mean to be concerned about your surroundings?
“Anyway, think about it. And I reflected on the arrogance of trying to finish this with just one practice trial.”
“Yes, I understand… … .”
I had a lot of questions, but I decided to focus on what I had to do.
I don’t know when the chief will come, but the time is running out.
“Luna, let’s go… … .”
When I saw Luna next to me, I was looking at Robert with a blush and startled face.
“Luna?”
“Uh, uh, uh, huh?????”
Luna looked at me in surprise.
“what’s the matter?”
“Ah, ah, no. nothing! So, shall we go and give a general review?”
I nodded at Luna’s words.
