Episode 16
“head… … .”
“brain. Among them, a very small place is responsible for all the mana sensitivity.”
frontal lobe.
That small organ governs all of Mana’s ability to respond and control.
“More profoundly, mana is driven by accidents.”
accident.
individual will. deep self.
“Believe in yourself and don’t be shaken. Examine yourself, clear your understanding and mind.”
“… … that.”
“It’s the normal response training we’re already doing. Things like meditation.”
Good and evil don’t matter. No matter what you believe in
“The firmer your will, the stronger it is.”
“It is abstract.”
“Because mana is originally such a substance.”
I can’t even explain why I’m drawn to the thinking of living things.
‘It’s not in the settings.’
The setting is like that, but what should I do?
“Anyway, just understanding it properly is the trick. and… … Applications are also possible.”
I thought it would be better to show it in person.
First of all, it raises mana normally and releases it by controlling it.
“I reduced my output compared to class, but look. Is the demonic energy being circulated and released properly?”
“huh… … .”
“One thing here. I accumulate mana around me, but why does the mana that enters my body turn black like this?”
“… … ?”
don’t you know
The academy doesn’t teach either. It is not even described in the textbook.
“Simple. Magi is also just a property of mana changed by some wavelengths in the brain.”
Some people say that the human being is corrupted and dyed black or something, and belittles it.
No way.
“It’s just the body. And you can do it like this if you know the tricks.”
This time, I’m a bit more careful and focused.
Celidia was horrified when she understood what I was about to do.
“Blue mana… … .”
The black mana is turning blue.
“Mana is driven by thoughts and changed by thoughts. Knowing that, this is possible.”
Once you get the hang of it.
From noble mtl dot com
“In the first place, when I first helped you in the slums, I used public magic properly.”
Common magic cannot be activated with magic alone.
It’s like putting gasoline into a diesel engine.
I mean, you can emit even normal mana if you set your mind to it.
“It is a blind spot. You get so preoccupied with the results you see that you miss something important.”
“… … That’s great.”
“It is not worthy of praise. And if you can rule like this even more.”
this is a bonus
Let’s change the nature of mana a little more, the color of blue mana gets a little darker and the particles spread out.
“… … no way.”
“Wavelength specialized for spiritism.”
And, guided by this, I faintly feel the presence of something snooping.
A weak spirit that cannot materialize.
“Anyway, even the devil is acting, so isn’t it a good match? Only weak people gather.”
But this should be enough.
“Theory explained. You know now that there is a possibility.”
Celidia is not stupid.
Even now, you are probably doing the calculations in your head through the theory I explained.
what can be realized
“Celidia, you will learn this trick so that you can perfectly control the elements of the spirits mixed within you and weave them into distinct entities.”
“… … Elemental Reconstruction.”
“In a way, it divides you to create your alter ego.”
A theory devised for Celidia.
“In theory, it should be worth a try.”
In the game, it is a theory that Celidia will come up with half a year later.
intercepted it first
‘After all, I’m a genius covered in cheating.’
Conscience? hahahaha, it’s fate to be born as a villain anyway.
Although there is no way the main character cheats.
Villains do all kinds of cowardly things.
so it’s okay
“Can you?”
“… … somehow!”
As if she had been convinced, her eyes seemed to light up.
That’s a good sign.
The theory is plausible, but in the end, actually doing it should be left to her talent.
* * *
Teaching Cellidia the tricks was somehow going well.
‘A genius is not a genius for nothing~.’
If you teach one, ten… … No, I know a hundred.
I just gave the answer based on the setting, but after thinking a little, I put together the calculation formula up to the process.
‘Honestly, I’ve done everything I can to explain, and I think it’ll work out somehow even if I train alone.’
Still, Celidia always visits my workshop.
Thanks to this, I recently got into the habit of stocking up on plenty of snacks and drinks.
‘… … Oh, is snacking the purpose?’
If that’s the case, I understand.
(Xian… I don’t think that’s the case.)
For some reason, Emily sighs a little disappointed with her thoughts.
(Sian thinks it’s good to think a little about how what you’re doing looks like.)
‘Hey, what do you know?’
I don’t care about other people’s eyes. It’s enough just to achieve the goal.
‘It seems that Celidia will show results soon, and it seems that it will be finished somehow… … .’
As for Cellidia’s attack route, Chapter 1, this should be enough in a short period of time.
At least the bad ending will be avoided.
(Come to think of it, Xian, I didn’t hear why you cared about him.)
‘huh? I was just messing around. I told you.’
(Do you think evasive treatment of this sister will work? Interrogating her?)
‘Would you like to try it? No, please try!’
It was around the time he was calculating the remaining schedule, responding roughly to Emily’s persistently questioning voice.
Footsteps were heard.
Someone obviously stepped behind me.
(draft…….)
‘I already noticed.’
When I turn around, there is a man who looks like he has something to do with me and is looking at me.
not a student
Judging from his youthful appearance in his mid-twenties, he is probably an assistant professor.
“Are you Xian?”
“Yes, but.”
Lately I’ve been popular.
Since when did Xian become such a beloved boy?
“Could you give me a minute?”
I wanted to refuse like a chimney, but I nodded slowly.
It’s probably what you need.
* * *
He revealed his name as Tenyl Alterol.
He works as an assistant professor in the Spiritual Art class.
“Why is the assistant professor in the spirit arts department me?”
“I don’t know Xian-kun, but your name is already going up and down among some of the professors.”
“Hoo… … .”
You’d better be on your guard, as they might come scouting for nothing.
“I asked to see you now because I wanted to ask something else.”
“Is it about Celidia?”
“Well, it was obvious.”
“There is no reason to interfere with students from other departments.”
In addition, I still haven’t seen the black magic department professor. When will the preparations for class be over?
I have some interest.
“Professor Chelidel kept brushing me off.”
“Chelidel?”
“Chelidel Milonil. Ah, aren’t you a jockey to take his class yet?”
I deliberately pretended not to know.
Chelydel Milonil.
A professor who can be considered a representative figure of the Spiritual Arts Department.
More than anything else, just hearing the surname ‘Milonil’ would quickly tell who he was, even a guy who hadn’t played the game.
He is the man who took Celdia as his adopted daughter after the incident seven years ago.
To be honest, Celidia Papa.
“Did you tell me to tie me up and put you on the pyre? Or did you put a bounty on the department?”
“You tell a funny joke.”
“It’s just what I’ve been saying.”
Just kidding.
“I only got a third of it right. Too bad.”
“for a moment? What did you guess? tying up? Putting it on the pyre? prize? which?”
I think I’ll have to train right now in a dungeon.
It’s a question of whether or not there will be another boss fight in my future.
It must have been a joke, but Assistant Professor Tennille just giggled.
“The impression is different from the rumors. More than anything, I feel different from your seniors.”
“You must have been a student then.”
I have nothing to say about the black magic seniors. It didn’t appear in the setting, and it wasn’t particularly interesting.
While organizing the workshop they were using, I looked to see if there was anything left, but I couldn’t find anything else.
Was the only thing useful was the summoning stone that helped her summon Emily?
Well, I should thank you for that alone.
“I’ll ask right away. You seem to be talking to Celidia often?”
“It is an academic meeting. spiritism and black magic. There is a lot to learn from verifying the two conflicting theories.”
I’m the one-sided teacher, but I didn’t think it was necessary to reveal it.
Apparently, Celidia didn’t seem to have said anything else either.
“Hmm~, Miss Celidia didn’t tell me so it was difficult.”
“Is that so?”
You keep your promise
In fact, as I began to teach Celidia the trick, I asked her to keep it as secret as possible.
‘I said it wouldn’t matter if I told you if I was in trouble.’
It was just for the sake of just in case, and it didn’t matter if they were found out.
You’re not doing anything embarrassing again, are you?
“Right. Is it an academic exchange?”
“Are you in trouble?”
“No way~. Other professors may not know, but I have no intention of saying that.”
“That means the other professors are dissatisfied.”
“Well, it’s between the professors, so it’s not to the extent that you’re worried. Originally… … that’s right Especially that guy with the black magic department… … .”
“I heard you’re an eccentric person.”
“Don’t say anything else. Even if it’s a different class, it’s embarrassing if you open your mouth recklessly.”
Don’t worry. Because I know.
Measures are already in place. Like deadly poison or traps for beasts.
Preparation for class is perfect. I’m looking forward to it.
“so? Don’t you like it when a kid in the black magic class meddles with the hopefuls in the elemental magic class?”
I deliberately ask rudely.
“I have no intention of interfering. If there is no problem with the academy’s school rules, how can I intervene?”
“Yes. In particular, they said that exchanges between other classes are more recommended.”
In the first place, the fact that openly shared classes exist and that you can attend classes in other departments if you wish is the will of the dean who wants desirable exchanges.
“What is your personal opinion, assistant professor?”
“You mean me?”
As if he didn’t know how to ask, he blinked his eyes.
“I thought it was great. In particular, Ms. Celidia had very little interaction with students after she entered school. Even with students in the same class.”
“It’s not like your life is ruined because you have few friends.”
I don’t have a single friend, so isn’t my life promising?
… … oh, isn’t it
“It seems like a good disposition, so there’s no reason to interfere anymore.”
“I am surprised. I thought you would cut it off and stop interacting with it or tell it not to interfere with my child.”
“Does Xian-kun have a prejudice against spiritists?”
“I live with a prejudice against everything in the world.”
Just kidding.
I didn’t live so crookedly.
Perhaps he recognized it, he left first, still maintaining a friendly smile.
“Then I’m sorry for wasting your time. Xi’an.”
“I am.”
“I’ll talk to the other professors in moderation, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”
“I just check one thing. That bounty, isn’t it a joke?”
“… … hahahaha, then work hard.”
Don’t say anything else!
Without further reply, Assistant Professor Tennil first walks away on his own.
(Unsurprisingly, Xian. You’re openly harsh…)
‘… … I don’t really like handsome faces.’
What am I missing, so I have to show friendliness in front of a guy? Who do you like?
and.
‘I don’t want to be pretentious to people who don’t benefit from looking good.’
There are people who don’t look particularly good.
For example.
… … A person who is likely to have a big accident in the future.
Here, the distinction must be made more thoroughly.
Because that’s the long way to live.
* * *
Awakening Celidia’s talent is good, but what should not be forgotten is the effort to improve my skills.
‘Because there’s no such thing as embarrassing myself if I drop all the boasting and become pathetic.’
I had been thinking and practicing in my spare time.

‘Hmmm, the level goes up quite a bit just by taking lessons?’
Every time he does something that is an honor student in class, he receives experience points appropriate for it.
You become stronger just by taking classes.
The level rises, and the strength increases according to the level.
Above all, I am gaining skill points.
‘Should I put some on my skills soon?’
Let’s invest heavily.
‘First, let’s focus on black magic.’
