Episode 33
Use mana for swordsmanship.
‘I can do it.’
Manipulating mana is nothing but a task that I have already practiced to the point of getting tired of it.
Simply pouring mana into a wooden sword does not create power.
Haven’t you learned the basic nature of mana before?
Basic mana has no properties.
Strange energy that neither heat nor mass exists. Adding properties to it is magic and aura.
‘In short, we need to give it mass and elasticity to impact, not just transmit.’
That’s the theory of putting mana on a sword in swordsmanship.
I already understand in my head.
Right now, I’m definitely getting used to it by beating it into my head.
‘Then I can do it.’
Remembering the impact of the wooden sword, this time I struck back and swung it.
You may have already seen through it, but Lisetta deliberately accepted it.
Fain!
A distinctly different sound echoed from a moment ago.
The sound of wooden swords colliding with each other and the shock that resonated at the same time.
Blue and black embers pop up and explode as they repel them.
“… … God, I really learned it.”
“It’s cramming, though.”
Among the embers of mana that had just sprung up, the black ones were obviously spilling out of my wooden sword.
Magi’s color.
“The trick is the same as using mana to interfere with objects.”
He is already learning and training to lift or interfere with objects with only mana by giving physical force.
Applying it to a sword is a different level of difficulty, but if the principle is the same, you can use it.
《Aura – Learn Mana Coating》
As I raised my sword once again and recalled the sensation of adding mana, at that moment, a black light permeated the sword.
Acquisition of skills that can be said to be the first step in strengthening weapons using magical power.
“The professors in the class will pass out if they see what my juniors have done.”
Maybe even get jealous.
“… … You know, junior? Wouldn’t you like to learn a sword properly?”
“yes?”
Lisetta had only taught basic swordsmanship until now.
How to hold and wield it forever.
But I must have judged that I had already passed the stage of being able to see it.
“If it’s right.”
“I can teach you if you want.”
Lisetta glanced at the two swords standing nearby.
It’s an ordinary iron sword. An item sold by the blacksmith class at the academy.
What she means is something other than the sword itself.
“no way… … Senpai’s swordsmanship?”
“It’s fine, how are you?”
It would be difficult to propose with just a simple favor.
Swordplay to Aura users… … . In particular, the family’s independent skills are like pride.
I wouldn’t even joke about the idea of teaching others carelessly.
Even if the family has fallen to the point where it is now obsolete.
Did you see that much value in me?
“… … I still decline.”
I humbly shook my head.
“Aren’t you going to take the castle?”
“no. I just thought it was excessive… … . You seem to have forgotten, but I am a warlock.”
“ah… … .”
You seem to understand
“I just want to supplement magic by learning swordsmanship, not reverse it… … . At least get up now.”
To the end, the main thing for me is magic.
If the sword jumps over it, my own training build itself will collapse.
It’s not that I don’t have the desire to try it, but I’m aware that it’s overkill.
You can become a wizard who is good at swordsmanship, but a wizard who is better at swordsmanship is a contradiction.
“I take the offer as an honor.”
“Whoa… … . Too bad.”
It’s not just the sound of what I’ve done, but it’s a waste of my heart.
To put it in an analogy, the feeling of being rejected after being offered a job change and regretting it.
I don’t think I brought it up simply because I thought it would be fun to teach.
“Are you thinking it might help rebuild the family?”
“I thought that if Xian learns, he will surely make a name for himself sooner or later.”
You were very weak.
“Well, that’s not what I meant.”
“… … what is that?”
“It’s nothing. Junior.”
With a smile, Lisetta swung her sword again as if the topic was over.
“There is still a little more time to spare, so grab the sword again. Junior.”
“yes.”

* * *
A new drill has been added.
A common drill that all freshmen must attend.
“Until now, we would have only taught theory and simulated combat as prescribed under the supervision of each class professor.”
Newbies with no real combat experience.
No matter how good textbooks are given to such children and know-how passed on to them, they cannot use half of them.
From noble mtl dot com
The best classes are, of course, practical.
Especially battles against monsters.
“Of course, the actual battles won’t be easily given to you yet.”
But experience is required.
Even if you travel on a well-maintained road, you will often encounter goblins on an unlucky day.
Of course, I’m not trying to teach the talented people of the Empire how to fight goblins or something.
More dangerous and many monsters.
We need classes with them in mind.
“Let me show you one special training ground.”
It is said that in the past, elaborate models were made to move with magic, and the professor instilled appropriate effects with magic to train them in combat.
However, at some point, the quality of training at the academy increased significantly.
With the introduction of a ‘facility’ proposed and built by a certain oddball professor.
The professor solemnly and solemnly, but as if proud of himself, led the freshmen to the three towers located in the eastern section of the academy.
It is a tower whose purpose is not listed even on the map outlining the purpose of the entire academy facility.
“It is an artifact called the Tower of Records.”
“You mean this building itself?”
“yes.”
Artifact.
A device that has built-in magic formulas and recreates the magic without the need for a wizard by simply supplying mana.
Of course, the shapes shown are various.
Weapons, accessories, clothing, and even the shape of buildings.
“If you go inside this tower, you will have enough training to fight monsters.”
“Did you capture and imprison monsters in the tower?”
someone asked
The professor immediately denied it.
“Such imprudent behavior is strictly prohibited by Imperial law. Even the academy is no exception.”
Monsters must not be captured and traded or left alive in the city for any purpose.
As a bill enacted about 20 years ago, it was because of an incident that triggered it.
A disaster caused by some stupid nobleman who wanted to use a monster.
“Above all, even if we use living monsters, how can we meet the amount needed for your training?”
I wouldn’t even think about trying it at all because the manpower and cost required to capture monsters for combat training would be formidable.
“This tower is an artifact devised by a professor who worked at the academy in the past.”
three towers.
Each tower consists of a total of 20 floors.
When entering the tower, the artifact works and creates a certain effect inside.
“This tower reproduces the recorded form of the monster.”
In short, a simulator.
Just an elaborate illusion recreated by magic.
“Is it an illusion?”
“It’s still too early to explain it to you, but it can be said that it is magic at a much advanced stage than that.”
It’s not just about drawing shapes.
presence. When cut, it bleeds, and when a monster attacks, it even feels pain.
Starting with goblins, then drakes, wyverns and ogres. Even rare monsters whose sightings are rarely heard.
Records of most monsters observed throughout the empire are engraved on the tower and can be reproduced.
“Something like that… … Is that possible?”
When one of the students in the magic class asked incredulously, the professor nodded.
“Perhaps the creator of this is unusual.”
It must be some kind of geek.
I know his true identity, but he’s not someone you’d expect to meet right away, so there’s no need to make fun of him lightly.
“From today, you will periodically train in this tower with actual combat in mind.”
To put it bluntly, enter here and fight the reproduced monsters to gain experience.
“You can also apply personally to train here. Well, it’s still early.”
Pointing to the two remaining towers and speaking with a glance, the professor finished introducing the facility and then began explaining the contents of this training.
“First of all, the most basic group combat team organization. Let’s do practical training in groups of three.”
That’s terrible.
Pick and choose group training.
“Of course, the grouping will be arbitrarily decided by us.”
It’s even more terrifying.

The Tower of Records was a facility that existed even in the gaming days.
The main use is… … .
‘It was only for filling out one piece of content.’
Content that is common in any game.
Something like an arena or training ground.
Unlike hunting in the field or dungeon, even if you win in this battle, there is no particular experience or drop item.
that’s because it’s fake
‘However, depending on the difficulty of breaking records, it was reflected in grades and rewards were given.’
In the case of the 1st tower, it is level 15~30.
The second tower is level 35-50.
The 3rd tower is level 55 or higher.
When you clear each difficulty, you will be given a reward or achievement that fits the value.
‘After all, this class was for the introduction of this content at the time of the game.’
When I sneakily asked the professor, he had a reward system with a structure similar to that of the game.
A prize placed by the academy to motivate students to take on challenges.
‘It’s fortunate that the list of rewards is not different from what I know.’
It is better to keep this content.
The more items and types of goods I can obtain, the better it is for making my future more solid.
‘It’s too early for a full-fledged challenge… … Wouldn’t it be nice to get what you can get from this class?’
This class is an event that existed even in the game days.
The professor said we would go into training in a group of three, but in fact I already knew who I was going to be in a group with.
Well, this event… … .
‘From the protagonist’s point of view… … .’
And even from the point of view of ‘Xian’, it’s a bit of a hit-and-run situation.
As the professor called, the groups were formed, and finally my name and the other two were quickly called.
“Xian, Yang Fei, and Linia Belton. These three are organized in group 3. to answer.”
As a result, the three of them give each other awkward glances from the beginning.
Several months have passed since admission.
I’ve seen them from far away and heard their names, but it’s rare to have a chance to talk to them in person.
‘There, I had to pick and choose this member.’
First of all, I am Yang Fei.
Among the classmates, he looked at the small girl with the most heterogeneous atmosphere.
Dark hair like me. But the saturation is much lighter.
Above all, she is not a warlock. The class belongs to the Auror class.
However, among them, in a sense, a girl with skills that could be treated as a heretic.
“oh! I heard! Is it Xi’an?”
As soon as our eyes met, Yang Fei smiled and waved cheerfully.
(Unlike anyone else, I am friendly.)
‘… … Are you saying that my face doesn’t look good with aegyo?’
(Oh my~, I don’t mean that. Huhuhuhu…….)
After yelling at Emily, who deliberately teased her, to be quiet, I responded with a suitable smile to Yang Fei, who spoke first.
“It’s the first time we’ve talked.”
“yes. First time. Thank you for letting us train together like this. draft.”
A friendly attitude shown while talking coolly.
But even if he looked like that, he would never be a person to belittle.
Yang Fay.
The daughter of a samurai family who was said to have defected to the empire by crossing the sea from the land of the east about 150 years ago.
The clan, which gained the trust of the imperial family by advocating their unique martial arts across the continent, is now called Count Yang and is making a name for itself as a prestigious family.
And as a heroine at the time of the game, she was also a person who could be attacked.
“I’ve heard about the martial arts of Count Yang’s family through rumors. I’m glad I got the chance to see you.”
“Ahahahaha, it’s nothing. I’ll show you all, so you can admire it.”
“You speak well.”
After getting acquainted with the face while having a moderately friendly conversation, I spoke to the other one.
You shouldn’t alienate anyone.
“Isn’t that the first time you’ve been talking to me?”
“huh. My name is Linia Belton.”
Linia Belton.
“Yes, is it Linia?”
Even if you don’t introduce yourself, you know me so well.
In fact, Linia might be the person to be more wary of than Yang Fei.
Because he’s the main character.
