When Ami came to the mansion, Alisa and I were investigating the magic circuit imprinting device.
Dr. Grimm, may I have a word?"
Give me two more minutes.
I waited for the magic circuit imprinting device to inscribe the magic circuits into the golem core of the iron golem.
All right, it's done. We're done."
I look at Ami.
'At the Suigetsu Dungeon, I met a living wizard from Nagoya who wants to meet with the doctor.
What kind of business is this?"
I think he wants to learn the magic of life from his teacher."
Does that mean you want to join Battalion?"
Maybe they don't know about Battalion."
I told him to bring me to the mansion. These days, I am often in the mansion. I am organizing the various information and things I have noticed so far in my adventuring activities in order to keep a record of them.
However, he continues to train D-particle sensors and "Gale Dance". Sometimes Master Mitsuhashi comes to visit me and keep me company. Master Mitsuhashi comes to me for advice on life magic, so we both learn a lot.
Well, just bring him in."
I understand. I think they are at the Adventurers' Guild, so I will bring them to you now."
After Ami left, Alisa and I decided to try out the golem cores that had been engraved with magic circuits by the magic circuit engraving device in the underground practice area.
The underground practice area is small enough that explosive or high-power magic cannot be practiced. However, it is just the right size for practicing rapid fire and rudimentary life magic.
The underground practice area had a dome space about ten meters in diameter in the center, with a fairly large tunnel dug east and west of it, with concrete blocks, sandbags, and logs placed at both ends as targets.
I decide to test the magic I carved into the golem core in the dome space. The golem core is a metal ball about three centimeters in diameter. The metal contains a large amount of D-particles. I can create metal with D-particles kneaded into it using the magic of "Metal Need," but it is made of metal containing dozens of times more D-particles than that.
I grabbed the golem core in my right hand and poured magic into it. The magic engraved in the golem core activates and connects with my consciousness. This connection allows me to control the magic.
The magic was "Flying Blade". A sword made of D-particles appears in front of the golem core and begins to glow red. I check to make sure that the Zangangou blade moves freely and then release the magic.

So far, it's the same as when we copied the magic circuits with the 'trace' spell."
Alisa says. I handed the golem core I had finished using to Alisa. The magic circuit of the one copied by the magic of "Trace" disappeared after one use, but I wanted to find out how it was with the magic circuit imprinting device.
"Great, we still have the magic circuit. This one seems to be repeatable."
All right! Good job!"
I was pleased out loud.
Now if I can just get the magic circuits, I can use any kind of magic I want."
I nodded to Alisa's words.
But it is the analytical wizard who analyzes that magic and works out the magic circuit. If Alisa doesn't raise her magic level, she won't be able to use higher-level magic."
Alisa smiled.
There are better analytical wizards than me. Why don't you ask them to help you?"
No, you can't do that. I want to keep the magic circuit imprinting device a secret."
If the magic circuit imprinting device became known to the public, there would be people and organizations who would want to take it from me and examine it. I didn't want to get involved in that kind of trouble.
'Yes, I suppose so. I suppose it would be better to keep it a secret."
Now let's go back upstairs and wait for Ami."
We returned to the mansion and waited, sipping the tea Toshizo had brewed for us.
Soon Ami returned with a young man named Nezu. When Nezu saw me, he stiffened his face and straightened his posture to greet me.
You must be Dr. Grimm. It's an honor to meet you."
I observed Nezu. There was a gap in his movement, and I could tell that he had not been working out much. I moved the D-particles floating around me as a test. Arisa immediately noticed and looked at me, Ami tilted her head, but Nezu was unresponsive, and the D-particle sensor seemed to be sluggish.
I heard you wanted to see me, what does that mean?"
I want you to add me as one of your disciples. Please."
I didn't have much time to teach him because I had a lot of work to do, but seeing the look of desperation on Nezu's face, I thought it would be a good idea to refuse him. But that desperation is temporary and may not last long.
'I'll teach you a little, and when you can make it your own, we'll see about an apprentice.'
Hearing those words, Nezu looked happy. I checked to see how much he had learned about life magic. As I had expected, he had only learned life magic in his first year at the Nagoya Institute of Magic.
The Jeevic Institute of Magic in Shibupi City allows students to learn life magic up to the third grade, but other magic academies do not have teachers to teach it, so it is taught only in the first grade.
I handed Nezu the textbook I had written with Karina. It seems that Nezu was unaware of the textbook's existence. The Weekly Adventurer and newspapers carried articles about the publication of a textbook on life magic, but surprisingly few people were aware of it.
Curiously, it seems that the French and English versions have become more famous. Especially in France, it seems to have become the best textbook book of its kind.
Ami said she was going to college now, so she left the mansion and headed for the university, leaving Nezu behind.
After explaining a little about the textbook to Nezu, who had been studying life magic on his own, we went to the underground practice area together. Arisa also comes along. We proceeded through the tunnel from the dome space and approached the place where the log stood as a target.
First, I'll show you the basic 'push' and 'corn arrow,' and how to trigger the magic by triggering the action."
I taught him more about multiple activation. If the basic knowledge in this area is not clear, the activation will be slow. Alisa watched me teaching with a smile on her face.
Something funny?"
When I ask Alisa, she shakes her head and denies it.
It reminded me of my days at the Academy of Magic. Come to think of it, this is how I was taught."
I cower my shoulders and begin to teach him about the magic activation triggered by the movement.
In order to tie a move to the activation of magic, you have to have it engraved in your mind before you fight, what move to tie to what magic."
I tied the triple push to the palm strike action and activated the magic in front of Nezu's eyes. The palm strike motion was large because it was intended to set an example. Nevertheless, the moment the palm strike was pushed out, the D particle plate quickly flew forward and hit the log, making a loud noise.
I think it's something like this. Now I've made the motion bigger for clarity, but next time I'll make the motion smaller and trigger it continuously."
I delivered three small palm strikes. This triggered the release of three D-particle plates, which hit the three logs and made a thump, thump, thump sound.
It's early."
Nezu rolls his eyes in surprise.
I won't repeat what Ami told me about rapid fire, because she told me, but rapid fire is important for this kind of use, so practice it."
I'll do my best. I'll do my best."
He seems nervous, but I wonder if he's OK. I told him about Battalion and he said he would like to go in. We can't give him permission right away, but we will have to check out his personality and background before making a decision on whether or not we can let him in.
