episode_0100

I readjusted the posture I had repeated several times and released mana.

The slight hope I had that this time would be different was shattered by an unresponsive hand.

“Haaaa..”

I let out a long sigh that I couldn’t even remember how many times it was, and lay down in an empty space where the grass had grown.

As I feel the unique softness of the grass, the wind blowing tickles my cheek.

It was a clear day with no clouds, so strong sunlight illuminated the ground, but the trees acted as a screen, so it wasn’t too hot.

As I was enjoying some leisure time with my eyes closed, I heard a voice next to me.

“Is today also a failure?”

“Yes..”

” Well.. this is normal, but it has been so abnormal so far. So it actually feels like this situation is wrong…”

Professor Zhan shook his head and sat down next to me, lifting my hand from my eyes.

As he had been doing for the past week, he poked and checked to see if anything had changed, and only after clapping his hands until he heard a clicking sound did he let go.

“No more! I guess this one is a bit difficult.”

“As you can see~”

“Ah~ Is that so~”

I imitate the drowsiness and the lengthening of my horse’s tail as if teasing him.

I want to just fall into a nap like this, but if I do that, I might disappear in the future and regret this choice.

It’s time to get up.

“Fuck you.”

I raised my body all at once with a sound of energy and stretched my tired body.

Joints that respond with a popping sound.

“.. If this continues, I don’t know when I can start training, so I will continue other training starting today.”

“Yes.”

No matter how much you learn and become stronger, it’s not enough.

But I have no intention of giving up.

If that’s not enough, more.

If you fill it up until there is enough… no, you have to fill it up.

If you want to extend your lifeline even a little more.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to endure such a heinous schedule.

“Okay… we don’t have the unique magic yet, so let’s make a similar skill.”

“.. Skills?”

Aren’t magic and skills the same thing?

“Skill is a higher level concept of magic. If using mana is magic, using it to create it is skill.”

“Can you give me one example?”

It’s frustrating because I’m trying to get a sense of something but I can’t.

I tried to hit my chest with my fist due to the feeling of tightness, but I stopped because I was not alone.

“For example, you can look at the spatial movement known as my magic.”

“Do you mean space movement?”

“Yes. As is known, actual space movement is my own skill.”

“Then.. what is space magic?”

“It’s my unique magic.”

You created a skill with unique magic, but it’s called space magic…?

I couldn’t even imagine how long it would have taken to come up with it and make it happen.

Of course, considering Professor Jan’s age, I think it might be possible, but if he is not talented, it will be impossible no matter how much time is given to him.

But I have to do those things now…?

“Fighting. Do your best.”

“.. This is a bit…”

Although other things were difficult, I made it to the end, but this… I guess it’s not that difficult.

“Hey Professor Zan..?”

Professor Jan, who was leaning against a tree and closing his eyes, was fast asleep, breathing evenly.

The speed is really easy..

I let out a long sigh and turned my head to see a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“What?”

“Ah, Tess too. It’s been a while.”

“Kyunkyun.”

It’s been a while since I last saw Tesdo, and he has grown considerably.

So long that it can wrap around my neck.

The shell covered about half of the body, but the limbs barely touched the ground.

It’s floating in the air anyway.

“Anyway, I didn’t summon you…”

“Quew..”

Because I was rubbing my face against my cheek, the sound was slightly muffled.

Fortunately, I guess I wasn’t angry that I had forgotten.

When I patted its shell, it unwrapped its neck and looked around.

The neck moving with a lurch felt a little odd, unlike before, but it was only subtle.

I don’t know how it will look in other people’s eyes.

“Did you come out because you were bored?”

“Quite!”

Even if he was doing something else, if I said something, he would look straight ahead and reply.

I can’t help but feel disgusted with this guy.

It’s just that the neck is wriggling like a tentacle.

Now that this guy is out, let’s create a skill related to ice magic first.

“Uh.. Now that I think about it.”

Isn’t ‘Absolute Zero’, which has been used before, also a skill?

I don’t remember seeing anyone else use it, and I’ve never heard of a magic with similar content.

“Then that’s the first skill.. What should I do for the second skill..”

Absolute zero is where you center yourself and spread cold air around you to freeze it.

So if you do it the other way around… it would be suicidal.

Curiosity pulled me out of my thoughts and took action right away.

-Wheee!

I looked at the cold radiating from my palm for a moment and then clenched my fist.

Then, not only the cold that was trying to escape, but also the cold that had already dispersed gathered together.

Coldness clung to my entire body, but since I was the one activating the magic, I only felt a little cold.

“Let’s try a little more..”

I felt like I was trying to feel something, and since I still had enough to endure, I was surrounded by more and more cold.

A sharp chill ran through my body without a moment, but it actually became warmer than before.

While I was wondering why, the top of my head felt heavy.

“.. The reason was you..”

“What?”

Tesdo’s head on top tilts and makes a question mark.

It wasn’t an intentional action, right..?

No, it looks like a spirit, so I guess it’s smarter than normal animals.

-Coouuu!!

“Uh..”

I forgot that I was using magic because I was watching Tesdo for a while.

I quickly stopped the magic, but the coldness that gathered around me far exceeded my expectations.

Normally, if you stop supplying mana, it would be natural for the magic to disappear, but this time, only part of it disappeared and was maintained.

For some reason, I checked and found that someone else’s mana was continuously flowing in.

“.. Is this you too..”

At the end of the mana flow, Tesdo was embarrassed and was trying to collect the mana that was leaving his body.

It didn’t seem like something he wanted to do.

Still, it doesn’t seem like it’s an action that will cause any harm to the body.

In any case, the collected mana had to be destroyed somehow.

If this continues, the mana has accumulated more than expected, and the forest may be destroyed once again.

No matter what I do, I have to use it all up…

“How.. can’t I make it with a skill..”

My hope is that I want to spend as much as I saved to create skills while making them.

The first priority is to eliminate damage.

If you think it can’t be done, you should at least wake up Professor Jan, who is sleeping over there, and solve it.

“How much has been raised… I need to find out about that first.”

Since you are not consuming mana anyway, there is no time limit and as long as no damage occurs.

-Clud!

When I lifted my arm, where the cold had stuck to it, it just followed me up and there was no reaction.

No matter how fast I shook it, it didn’t fall off.

I tried to hit it with my other hand, which was covered in cold as much as my arm, but I couldn’t even feel the cold as if it had absorbed the shock.

This seemed like a good idea to use, but there was one problem.

“How much mana must be accumulated for this to happen…”

The amount of mana currently collected is so large that it cannot be accurately determined.

That’s why it boasts this level of performance, but you have to try to find out what it would be like with less mana.

I’ll try that again later.

I tried a few more simple actions like before, but I couldn’t find anything.

It was a pity, but looking at the coldness that was being consumed, it seemed like there was no need to wake Professor Zhan.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to me.

“Hmm.. Does this move with mana?”

When I think about it, I just collected mana.

I haven’t used it again since.

What is maintained now is in no way due to Tesdo.

-Wheeee…

First, I poured mana little by little into the cold energy surrounding my right hand.

Starting from the center where the only mana circuit facing outward was located, the cold began to be consumed little by little.

It went as expected, but one thing was different.

My pupils turned purple as I looked at the cold.

“.. Electricity..?”

Purple electricity mixed with blue cold.

Instead of just one being left behind, they combined together to increase their size.

The ‘superconductivity’ phenomenon that I thought about when I first learned magic was coming true before my eyes.

I quickly checked the status window thinking I had suddenly learned the double chant, but that wasn’t the case.

As if double chanting was not used in a standard way.

-Jijijijiji!!!

Sparks flew into the surrounding air, coloring the surroundings.

It was a little different from the scene I created yesterday by mixing Professor Jean’s magic with my own, but there were also similarities.

“This…”

It’s dangerous…?

The destructive power I felt was beyond what I could handle.

The only thing that doesn’t have to be similar is…

“.. Tess too..”

“Kyun..?”

The dazed voice of Tesdo above my head was heard.

He pointed to one side and spoke to Tesdo, who quickly came to his senses.

“Wake up Professor Jan!”

“Quite!!!”

Tesdo quickly ran over and bit Professor Jean’s hair to wake him up.

“Aaaa! What is this!”

Fortunately, Professor Jan was able to get up quickly.

The magic disappeared without any damage.

“.. Cadet Berador..?”

Professor Jan woke up from a sleep with his head bitten off and his anger almost destroyed the forest.

Well.. it was two days where various things happened.

But that’s it.

It was only the beginning compared to what would happen that day.
