Episode 12 Amane and Alisa
I bought Leather Armor and went back to the janitor's hut.
"I wonder if I can learn some magic because my magic level has risen."
I activate the magic of 'Self-Analyze' and check my magic level. Information came to my mind.
[Name] Sakaki Grimm
[Amount of D-particles] DVI
[Life magic] Rank S / Magic level 5
[Bestowal magic] Rank F / Magic level 0
[Muscle magic] Rank E / Magic Level 1
[Attack magic] Rank F / Magic level 0
[Lifeblood magic] Rank F / Magic level 0
[Analysis magic] Rank E / Magic level 1
Life magic has become magic level 5, and Muscle magic has become magic level 1. Having said that, I should learn Muscle magic.(TN:Apparently what he meant previously was not that they couldn't learn magic if they were level 0, but there was no magic TO be learned at level 0. Meaning if your magic rises from 0 to 1 you can actually learn something.)
I took out the school textbook from under the bed. It was forgotten by one of the graduates and is titled "The Basics of Muscle Magic".
All the magic circles in the textbook remained. The forgotten graduate probably didn't have the talent for Muscle magic despite being rich.
I checked the textbook. Only two magic circles that can be learned at magic level 1 were drawn.
One is 'Damage Cover'. It has the effect of reducing damage by covering the entire body with a film of magical power. The other is 'Power Assist', which is the same as covering the whole body with a film of magical power, but it has the effect of enhancing human movement.
"Hmm ..., which one should I choose? I've heard that the defense power of ' Damage Cover' is subtle, so let's use 'Power Assist'."
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The duration of the effect of 'Power Assist' is about 3 minutes. It's enough time to defeat a monster. I wanted to learn the magic of 'Power Assist'.
The problem is the time it takes to remember. My magical talent of Muscle magic is 'E'. It will take a dozen days to learn. I can't make it in time for the exercise five days later.
Still let's start learning it. I'm sure it will be useful. From that day on, it became a habit to stare at the magic circle of 'Power Assist' before going to bed.
The day before the exercise, after the life magic class was over, Amane and Alisa stopped me as I tried to leave the classroom.
"Grimm-Sensei, I learned the 'Push' life magic. Please tell me the application."
"I also learned it."
It was a little surprising. I didn't expect any students to really learn it.
"Well, I promised to teach you the application. Come to the training ground after school."
When I said that, they nodded.
After school, I went to the training ground. Amane and Alisa were waiting there.
"Did I make you wait?"
"No, we just arrived."
I looked around the training ground. The training ground is separated into about four sections that are as large as a tennis court. Each one was surrounded by a high wall.
We entered one of them and went to the place where the sandbags and logs were placed. I placed sandbags in the center of the compartment at waist level, then placed a log on it. The narrower one is a log with a diameter of 20 cm and a length of about 1 meter. It may weigh as much as 20 kilograms.
I used this log as a monster and instructed them to attack with 'Push'.
"OK, I'll do it."
Alisa goes forward and activates 'Push'. The D-particle plate formed in front of Alisa's eyes is projected forward.
The log pushed by it moved about 10 cm, and the D-particle plate collapsed.
"How is it? I learned it properly."
I nodded.
Amane also mastered it properly. Amane who moved the log about 10 cm faces me.
"Grimm-Sensei, what is the application?"
After teaching some ways to fight with life magic, I started talking about multiple activations.
"The feature of life magic is multiple activations. You know that when the magic level of life magic goes up, you can activate multiple times at the same time, right?"
The two nodded.
"The power will increase by repeatedly activating the same life magic. From now on, we will activate the TriplePush that was activated in triple."
I fired a TriplePush at the log. The triple-layered D-particle plates rush at high speed and hit the log. The log flew about seven meters, hit the wall and bounced off.
"No way!" "Wow, amazing!"
The two seem to be surprised.
"Both of you will be able to do it if your magic level goes up. You have a high rank of magical talent. You will be able to do it soon."
I'm in charge of life magic, so I only know what rank the magic talent of life magic is. Amane is "C" and Alisa is "B".
The magic level will be low because the number of dives in the dungeon is still small, but if you participate in the exercise several times, it will soon be about magic level 3.
"Grimm-Sensei, is it possible to defeat monsters with life magic?"
Alisa asked something desperately.
"It's difficult to deal the finishing blow with life magic alone, but you will be able to defeat it in combination with a weapon."
Alisa looks a little disappointed.
"Then, is it no good?"
"I'm not good at exercising, so can I defeat monsters with a weapon?"
Alisa's magical talent seems to be high only in life magic and analysis magic. She can't attack monsters with analytical magic, so she's in trouble if she can't defeat them with life magic.
I am convinced that it is such a thing.
"What about crossbows and bows?"
"I was told I wasn't talented."
As an adult, you can buy a gun. However, you can't buy it now, so it's magic.
"I'll look into it a little."
"Is it possible to defeat it with just life magic?"
I nodded, took the flying log and put it back on the sandbag.
"What I'm going to show is a secret."
I activated the 'Blade' that was activated five times toward the log. A V-shaped plate that cuts through the air and is swung splits the log in half.
The two were stunned with their eyes wide open. It seems they couldn't understand what happened. Amane, who has been frozen for a while, opens her mouth first.
"Grimm-Sensei, isn't that attack magic just now?"
"It's life magic. And it's my trump card."
Even though I said it was a trump card, I showed the magic because I didn't intend to keep it secret forever. What should be kept secret is how I got the magic circle to master the magic, not the magic itself.
