Chapter 126: Using magic weapons (7)
From Noble mtl dot com
The three arrived at the magic warfare classroom.
Of course, Basileo, who did not know the situation, carefully watched the two.
The two of them had been talking to each other every step of the way on campus, but as soon as they came out of the building, they became as quiet as a lie. In fact, it even had a gentle air.
It was a somewhat puzzling scene for Basilero, who was worried about when the two would explode.
“Now, stand there.”
Frontier had Basileo come to the center of the class. And he saw him with Elodie at a little distance.
“Shall we begin now?”
“… What?”
Basileo had no idea what was going on.
Frontier grinned.
“The last final exam I gave, a bonus question.”
“… !”
Basile thought at that moment.
What is coming has come!
As expected, he was angry because he wrote such a ridiculous answer!
‘Even so, even Teacher Elodie!’
Did you write such a harsh answer?
What is this, a new kind of bullying? Teacher against student?
“Well, I didn’t write that answer as a joke.”
“Show me.”
“Yes?’
Frondier spread his hands with a smile.
“Show me the ‘answer’ you think here. “You wouldn’t have been able to confirm it during the exam because you couldn’t construct the spell.”
“… Ah yes?”
Basileo still doesn’t understand.
Elodie said there.
“The last problem was one that could not be solved without mastering the relevant theories and knowledge, and in addition, without intuition, which is the absolute intelligence of a wizard.”
“… Oh, that’s right?”
“So, give it a try here. The answer you came up with to that problem. “The solution process.”
Basileo blinked.
Please show me the solution process. So how close is his answer to the correct answer?
‘But why are those two so kind and refreshing all of a sudden? ‘Weren’t we fighting just a moment ago?’
Something is scary for no reason.
Basil Leo scratched his head for a moment and then took something out of his pocket. It was a crumpled piece of paper. He opened it and looked at it with narrowed eyes.
Frondier and Elodie laughed softly at that sight.
Basileo glanced at the two and asked.
“Hey, can I speak while I’m at it?”
“Of course. “It’s better then.”
Basil Leo nodded his head at Frondier’s willing permission.
“Well, first of all, that technique doesn’t manifest as magic.”
“The reason is?”
“The reason is, that is.”
Basileo looked around and found a reasonably long tree branch. Then he started drawing the magic formula on the floor. Of course, it was a bonus to compare it with the paper you took out to see if you were drawing correctly.
“To know the reason, you must first understand the theory of magic composition.”
“Is it because the technique in question was constructed incorrectly?”
In response to Frondier’s question, Basil Leo shook his head.
“Even though it is properly structured, it does not manifest, so a theory is needed. Is the theory wrong, or is the interpretation of the theory wrong? “You need to know where you went wrong.”
Basileo gradually became calmer. There was confidence in his eyes as he spoke.
“Magic is a magical language. If a flame has a will, if it can tell what it is burning, or what shape the waves will appear next, or if the rain can tell itself when and how it will fall. That will be the language they speak, and we can interpret and take that language and mimic it.”
“But we are not fireworks, waves, or rain.”
Elodie said. Basileo nodded.
“That’s right. So our language is a borrowed language. Since I’m not speaking as them, I can’t be myself. So magic is temporary and does not last. “It is a phenomenon, not a substance.”
The two nodded at Basileo’s words.
“Then what is the problem with the technique that appeared in the last question?”
“It’s not the technique that’s the problem. “The problem is the way the technique is transferred.”
Basileo pointed to two points where the lines overlapped in the drawing on the floor.
“Now these two parts are the parts that meet when the three techniques are combined. This in itself is no problem. There are cases where many techniques overlap with each other. “This technique looks like it was put together that way.”
“Does it seem like it’s not really what it is?”
“…”
There Basileo stopped speaking.
He stretched his mouth and spoke in a quieter voice than before.
“… “Maybe?”
“What answer is that?”
“From here on out, I’m lost too…”
Frondier smiled leisurely.
“Then think about how you got lost and why you wrote down the answer in the process.”
“How do you get lost…”
Vasileo muttered softly and blinked his eyes a few times.
He lowered his waist and squatted down. He ran his finger over the drawing he had drawn.
“It is clear that this technique followed the theory. However, it is also true that it looks different from the usual magic. And these techniques are ones that students already know. If you combine this as expected, it will definitely become a ‘floating flame.’ An attack spell that is similar to a wisp, but feels heat even without touching it and allows the caster to move. However, even though it is the same technique, the shape of the combination is different. So what is the difference? No, why don’t techniques combined in different shapes also deviate from the theory?”
This time, Basileo lined up three spells side by side.
“Most manifestation failures are due to conflict in the magic circuit. Collision does not occur simply because they overlap. “It may be the case if the mana flows in opposite directions or if the mana for one circuit is too high, but this technique is neither.”
Basileo became a little unfocused as he spoke. He looked just like he did in class.
Frontier thought.
‘I’m concentrating. I’m not telling you to let us know already. ‘I am reciting it to move my thoughts forward.’
Of course he induced it. That’s why I decided to explain it here.
Basileo is now undoubtedly in the midst of some kind of enlightenment. He just doesn’t know it himself.
It must have been difficult for him to think that enlightenment was just around the corner while the students around him were laughing and chatting with excitement in the classroom and at Atlas where he always went.
But enlightenment does not happen in some great place or time. It may arrive without any foreshadowing, just in a moment of everyday life.
To reach there first, beyond reason or prediction. That is intuition,
For a wizard, intuition is like a lifeline.
“So what came to mind was three-dimensional. At first, I thought that one of the techniques had to be ‘established’ in the first place.”
Basileo stood up.
He traced the spell himself using his magic.
“But in this case, there is no way the vertically drawn magic formula can be written down on paper, and the conflict becomes even worse in the first place. If we don’t figure out why the conflict occurs in the first place…”
Frondier quietly watched Basileo.
He’s already given enough hints.
Bringing Basileo here and asking him to explain is already a great hint.
‘What Basileo lacked was confidence. Since he didn’t know whether his answer was right or not, he couldn’t easily move on from the stories of the people around him.’
But Frontier is now talking to Basileo.
‘Up to here’ is the correct answer.
So don’t go back, just take one more step.
“… Maybe it’s not ‘that’ three-dimensional… ?”
Basileo muttered.
At that sight, Frondier looked at Elodie.
He spoke with his mouth.
‘I think I won?’
Elodie’s mouth looked like this.
‘I do not know yet.’
Basileo looked at the torn dots and lines one after another.
“Collision is when flows in opposite directions collide. However, the magic seen from the plane was moving in the same direction. Nevertheless, it does not appear. In other words, there is an invisible flow in the opposite direction on a flat surface.”
Is it visible in three dimensions?
And soon Basileo started doing strange things.
Beyond separating the three techniques, even the points and lines included in one technique were stirred up here and there.
As soon as she saw that, Elodie opened her mouth.
‘The lines of mana that make up the spell maintain their position even though they are scattered.’
The mana circuit that most wizards maintain through magic is very temporary. It’s built for magic, and there’s no reason to maintain it.
For a wizard, composing a spell is like a mental calculation done in the head. In other words, when it volatilizes from the head, it disappears naturally.
However, Basileo does not do that.
For example, it is similar to remembering the ‘first’ formula even after deriving an answer from repeated calculations.
Frontier also widened his eyes at that sight.
‘If something like that were possible, a three-dimensional blueprint would be a ridiculous device to Basileo.’
You might not understand it at all. If you allow your thoughts to remain without volatilizing them, it functions exactly the same as a three-dimensional blueprint.
“… All right.”
Then Basil Leo raised his head and saw Frondier.
Frontier said:
“Show me.”
Basil Leo nodded his head and gathered the magic spell again, raising the magic spell he was looking down at to his eye level. When it got to that point, a laugh escaped Elodie’s mouth.
‘This kid is a genius.’
This is Elodie’s guarantee, not anyone else’s.
Basileo said.
“Collision in opposite directions and the reason why it is not visible on a flat surface were simple once you figured it out. “The basic technique among the basics we know is the ‘Stop’ technique,”
Basileo spread the techniques raised to his eye level and drew one more dot and line below them.
“Actually, there is one more circuit. “A technique at a different location only at the exact height.”
The drink was completed with those words. The entire technique embodied the difference in height. The circuits do not collide by dividing each other by height, but by inserting a new circuit, a detour of mana is created.
In other words, the final question raised by Frontier, the truth of the magic spell written there,
“If you look at this technique ‘from above,’ it will look like the shape the teacher wrote on the question paper!”
“──Correct answer.”
Fron Deer smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction.
The ‘stop’ technique actually has one more circuit. When drawn on a flat surface, there is a circuit with a different height at the exact same location, which is not visible.
If you draw a technique on a completely flat surface and use a stop technique, the circuit will have the effect of being duplicated. So, there is no need to draw one more thing, and the technique reveals its effect.
However, when viewed three-dimensionally, circuits with different heights cause unexpected interference when combined with other techniques.
Magics that combine techniques of stasis handed down from the past were created to avoid that location. However, no one knew the reason for the collision.
No matter how much I look at it on a flat surface, I can’t find the answer. However, since the magic will activate as long as you avoid that location, I don’t have any further questions.
“Then do you want to manifest that?”
“Yes?”
“You corrected the error in the technique and recreated it directly in three dimensions. “What kind of magic is that?”
“Yes? Yes, it must be a ‘floating flame.’”
“Then try it.”
Basileo tilted his head at Frondier’s words, but infused mana into the spell anyway.
OK,
“Uh, uh… !”
His mana drained out in clumps. Even that expression was not enough. Almost all of his mana was absorbed into one spell.
“Well, something like this…” … !”
Good luck!
And a flame appears before his eyes.
It looked similar to a ‘floating flame’ as Basileo had said earlier.
However, that eerie heat and eerie color that you should not approach carelessly. A flame so ferocious that even the caster, Basileo, was scared. It even seems like it has a will to eat it.
“W-what is this…” … ?”
Basile was about to ask when he saw the flame again.
I’ve seen it somewhere. I think I saw it too. It’s not like a floating flame. One of the longed-for magics he dreamed of, which was on a different level from that.
“That’s right.”
Frontier thought it was time to say something, but tilted his head.
“Elodie, what was that name?”
Elodie sighs at those words.
Frondier speaks informally to Elodie. While Basileo is surprised by that appearance.
“Hellfire.”
Elodie explains.
“It’s one of the two magic combinations in my original, ‘Jujak Oreum.’”
