Chapter 116: Magic Design (3)
In the end, Aias did not hold his weapon until the end and was completely defeated.
Ajax’s appearance reminded me of Pielot from the past. Pielot, who was full of pride, was also stubborn. Of course, the current Pielot has changed a lot, perhaps because he is impressed by my sincerity and efforts to help him grow.
Ajax’s case may also change depending on what I do, but it’s not something that interests me right now.
‘Unlike Pielot, it’s also a character I don’t know at all.’
Unlike Pielot, who appears in the game, I don’t know a single person on this continent. There is no way to know whether Aias is a good character or a villain. If you decide who is good or bad in this game based on their appearances, you never know what might happen.
“Huh, huh…”
Ajax stretched out his arms and continued to breathe. There may be a physical issue, but being so short of breath is probably a mental issue.
I used up all my class time dealing with Aias, but this should be enough for the first day. Now most students won’t ignore me.
“The sparring ends here. “Time is up.”
After saying that, I turned around and took the class materials.
In fact, after sparring with Ajax, I brought various things to explain the principle of ‘prediction’, but they were useless.
Well, there is no problem since I can use it in the next class.
“Ugh… !”
And then, my sixth sense responded.
As I turn, a living thing rippling behind me. It is definitely Ajax.
“Kaaak!”
“Now, wait! Aias!”
Ajax gets up from his lying position and rushes towards me behind him. It appears that the divine power that tells him to use it has finally been activated. The embarrassed students shouted to stop him, but of course there was no one who could stop his sudden antics.
But well,
I just said, ‘The sparring is over.’
‘If I use the devil’s power, it will be quiet for a while.’
Through several iterations, I now have complete control over the scope and extent of my use of demonic power.
Of course, there were minor sacrifices to make this happen, but for the greater good, one must be able to hold back tears and move forward.
So I tried to use the devil’s power on Ajax,
“… !”
I quit halfway through.
Whick!
Whoa!
Instead, he used black cloth and spread a curtain to block Ajax’s blow.
“Ugh! “What is this!!”
Ajax’s excitement still hasn’t subsided. He tries to cut down Heukcheon somehow, but it is impossible with his excited state and sloppy posture. Even if he has divine powers.
“Stop! “Stop it, Aias!”
Soon other students came and stopped Aias.
“You’d better calm down a little, Aias.”
After speaking to Aias, I looked at everyone.
“Then I’ll see you in next class.”
And as if nothing had happened, I gathered up my class materials and walked away.
While I was on my way, a thought occurred to me and I saw Aias.
“Oh, by the way, you have a penalty point.”
“Ugh… !”
* * *
A strange sensation I felt before using the devil’s power on Aias.
To check it out, I called Arald and Lili.
“… Pantemonium?”
Lily asked back what I said.
Aias was using divine power, and I was about to use demonic power.
At that moment, my intuition spoke.
If the devil’s power is used like this, pantemonium may occur.
I needed to find out if it was just an illusion or if it really happened.
“I mean, that’s it.”
Arald said as if summarizing my words.
“If a human being with divine power encounters demonic power while using that power, pantemonium occurs.”
“I’m not sure. “I mean, I felt that kind of anxiety for a moment.”
The power of the devil is the power of the soul. Pantemonium is a clash of souls.
Furthermore, does this mean that the same effect occurs with God?
“The condition is not just that you have divine power, but that you are using that divine power.”
“Haven’t Arald and Lily ever been like that? An enemy who uses demonic power against an opponent who is using divine power.”
In response to my question, both of them looked worried as if they were recalling memories from the past, but eventually shook their heads.
Lily spoke first.
“I don’t know. In the first place, there are very few people with divine powers. And devils basically don’t want to fight humans with divine powers. “Most divine power is fatal to demons.”
“I don’t have that experience either. I don’t like fighting in the first place, but people with divine powers have nothing to do with me. “Our company’s products are geared toward ordinary people with low physical strength.”
As they spoke, I crossed my arms and raised my head.
The devil doesn’t want to fight God. Naturally, they also avoid people with divine powers. To the devil, humans are beings who covet the soul or desire of a contract, not beings worth confronting head-on.
‘If Pantemonium really happened because I used the power of the devil back then, I can’t guarantee Ajax’s life or death.’
Those who lose in Pantemonium are trapped in the opponent’s power, suffering eternal suffering.
Of course, I might lose. That is, if Ajax’s divine power is enough to overcome the power of Bael, the king of hell.
Of course, I went back into the Pantemonium and took Bael out, but Bael was on the verge of complete collapse when I saved him. In just a few minutes, Bael, the king of hell, was driven to that level.
No matter how quickly I try to save him, I don’t know if Aias will be able to withstand my pantemonium for that long.
However, to put it the other way,
‘If my enemy has divine powers, he could intentionally cause pantemonium.’
Pantemonium is the image of the soul itself. If the opponent has divine power, he or she may be able to detect what kind of divine power the opponent is receiving. Of course, I have to be confident that I will win the Pantemonium.
“Oh, come to think of it, Arald. “Did you bring what I asked for?”
“Of course.”
Arald immediately took out the materials from his pocket upon hearing my words.
I didn’t ask for anything special, but rather asked Arald to show me the data he had collected to use as three-dimensional map data.
I received a wealth of materials.
“It’s a considerable amount. Are they all maps of the Agoris continent?”
“We have prepared everything, including maps, various signs, symbols, cultural areas, and scale standards. “We have prepared everything to improve the accuracy of the three-dimensional map.”
“Great.”
I looked at the papers Arald brought one by one.
One by one, one by one.
The amount was larger than expected and it took quite a while to just look through it, so the two of them were gradually tilting their heads.
“… Frontier. Should I come later? “Why don’t you take the time now and check it out properly?”
By the time Lily said that out of consideration for me, I had skimmed the last chapter and returned to the first.
And handed it to Arald.
“Thank you Arald. “It was helpful.”
“… ? “Weren’t you planning on learning the map of the continent?”
“I learned everything.”
Workshop.
“?”
Arald looked like he didn’t understand, but he took the information I gave him again.
“Okay then, it’s time. “Let’s finish studying.”
Lili asked what I said.
“Oh, analyzing that data?”
“Huh. Arald agreed to teach me. “I’m working hard to learn it.”
The principle by which the three-dimensional map created by Arald analyzes and accumulates data. A few days ago I was learning about him.
“I didn’t know you were interested in magical engineering.”
“Take no interest. But it’s necessary.”
“Hmm… ?”
Lili gave a cursory answer to that question. After seeing that she was about to start studying, Lili stood up and left the room with a quick greeting. I was grateful for the consideration of leaving my seat, and I decided to focus on my studies.
“… “I am offended, Mr. Frontier.”
While I was studying, Arald brought up another topic with me.
“Huh? Why?”
“What is your latest schedule?”
“Schedule? “Why is that?”
“I am concerned that learning about three-dimensional maps may be taking time away from other important things.”
“Don’t worry. “Because what you teach me is as important as anything else.”
“Still, I’m concerned about how you spend your time.”
Hmm.
Is this a worry of Arald’s own? I looked up and remembered my schedule.
“First thing in the morning, review the class materials you prepared the night before.”
“What time do you wake up?”
“6 o’clock.”
“… “For now, would you please continue speaking?”
What is the current term?
Anyway, I kept talking.
“And my main job is as a teacher at Atlas. I’m currently studying magic theory and combat theory in parallel. “It turned out to be a lot more work than I thought.”
“… Okay.”
“And after I finish teaching, I go to the library and pick up books and materials. “I need to find Hercules and learn about the gods of this land.”
This is a similar mindset to when I played the Etius game. However, unlike back then, I can quickly fill up my knowledge through workshops without having to memorize it in my head.
“And then I come home and learn about three-dimensional maps from you every other day, and learn magic from Elodie every other day.”
“Are you spending six evenings a week learning?”
“Huh? Yes.”
“Is there a break after that?”
“No, learning from you and Elodie is not just learning out of a desire for knowledge, it is because there is something I want to do. So, after learning, I am experimenting with various things. “There are a lot of things that stick in your head unless you learn them right away, so I want to try them out right away if possible.”
“Is there a break after that?”
“Next time, like I said before, prepare the class materials. “I will review it the next morning.”
“Is there a break after that?”
“Right. I have to sleep after that. “It’s around 2 in the morning.”
“…”
Arald’s eyes narrowed.
What is it, I was usually scolded when people who were looking at me made that kind of expression. He looks somewhat like a teacher.
Why? The teacher is now me.

“Mr. Frontier. “If you push yourself like that, you might die someday.”
It’s somehow creepy to say that the devil dies.
But I was able to laugh it off.
“hahahaha, that can’t be possible.”
“How can you be certain?”
“I’ve been doing it since first grade. “There’s no way I’m going to die suddenly now.”
“1 Grade… You mean since Constel’s first year? “It was this hard?”
“It was worse back then.”
At that time, I was being run by Ajie.
In the meantime, the past days were spent catching up on the progress that Frondier had made due to laziness, receiving training from Ajie, and repeatedly honing his mana amount and skills in the practice room.
On top of that, he brought Selena in and taught her ancient languages, so the schedule was more severe than it is now, not less.
“It’s much better now that I’m moving my body a lot less and I’m doing the things I want to do.”
I am actually satisfied. It is true that I have some free time.
“… Even so, be careful. Frontier is a human body. “Fatigue accumulates.”
“hahahaha, what are you talking about? Of course I am human. “What if I say it as if I’ve forgotten that?”
“… “Excuse me.”
I laughed at Arald’s strange joke. It was hard to tell, but it was a pretty funny joke.
──And that night.
“Now, let’s try again.”
I cross my arms and deal with the black cloth in my room when no one is there.
Magic is a combination of techniques and elements. Taking a cue from the metaphor of a gear wheel, I am taking the test with great enthusiasm.
Push!
“Ah, it’s not working out well either.”
This is after countless failures.
I was lost in thought.
‘As expected, the technique cannot be directly copied through weaving.’
Weaving is a skill that targets objects and skills. It’s just a copy anyway. Therefore, it is not possible to weave the symbols of a magic trick.
Even if you try, unlike black cloth, weaving does not respond solely to your thoughts.
‘Even if you try to look forward to the leveling up of weaving, it’s been a long time since the leveling up of weaving stopped.’
Leveling up your weaving isn’t just about weaving a lot; my guess is that you need to weave new high-grade weapons. It should be divine, or at least legendary.
There is no way I can find such a weapon easily, and even if I level up that way, there is no guarantee that I will get the results I want.
So, I have to draw the picture I want within what I have.
Clang!
This time, I tried to make the magic symbol as similar as possible with Black Heaven and then tried a combination that would result in magic, but the Black Heaven just broke. Because an impurity called black heaven is added to the mana, the magic does not work.
‘Weaving cannot be freely shaped like black cloth, and even if it is made with black cloth, it will only interfere with the magic. ‘Everything has a screw missing.’
Squeak.
At that time, the door opened and a small child came out, rubbing his eyes.
“What are you doing?”
It was May. Mei and Elodie take turns looking after May, but today it was my turn.
“Sorry. “Are you awake?”
“No, I wanted to go to the bathroom.”
Saying that, May staggered towards the bathroom.
… She is a flawless human being. Sleeping and going to the bathroom.
‘What started out as an imitation has now acquired human functions and has the same desires?’
May has no hesitation in her learning. Whether it makes you weak or strong, comfortable or uncomfortable.
Since the only humans around her were humans, it was natural for Mei to continue to become closer to humans.
Of course, there are demons, but they live almost the same life as humans here.
“So what do you do?”
“Ah. “I thought it might be possible to design it by weaving the magic symbols in advance.”
I explained briefly to May. Although she looks like a young child, she has enough knowledge, so she was able to explain without worry.
May made a grumpy noise as if she wasn’t really interested.
And she continued walking toward the bathroom, just as she had originally intended.
She said
“Like a dragon heart.”
