Episode 86 Performance

Alisa and the others, who had just finished their exams and entered summer vacation, were explaining Life Magic to the members who had joined the Life Magic Club at the training grounds.

" 'Push' is the basis of Life Magic. First of all, I want everyone to be able to shoot TriplePushes."

The Life Magic Club had just been formed, so all the members were new members, but Alisa and the others were experienced, so they were on the side of teaching.

"Hey, hey, Amane-chan. I'd rather practice 'Cone Arrow' than 'Push'."

Said Hougetsu Misa, who was in the same class as Amane and the others.

"You can't. 'Push' is an important magic that can even defeat monsters."

"Is that so. Alisa said it was a defensive magic."

Misa looked at Alisa with accusing eyes.

"No, no, it's not that Alisa is wrong. 'Push' is mostly used for defense. However, if you increase the number of multiple activations, you'll be able to defeat monsters as well. Didn't you see Grimm-sensei throwing a SeventhPush at Gouda-sensei."

"I don't think it's the same thing. My 'Push' is so weak that it can't even beat a FrenzyMouse."

Takeuchi Satoru, a third-year student, interjected.

"Will the power really increase just by increasing the number of multiple activations?"

Alisa and the others demonstrated the difference in power by demonstrating a simple 'Push' and a TriplePush, but there were those who said they weren't convinced unless they did it themselves.

"It's true. Didn't I show you that the power increases with a TriplePush?"

"Even if you say that, I can't see 'Push'. I don't know if it really is a TriplePush."

Karina went to Amane's side while laughing.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"In order to confirm that, raise your magic level to '2' and you'll be able to use DoublePush. When summer vacation starts, we'll be fighting in the dungeon, so just participate."

Takeuchi turned his dissatisfied face towards Karina.

"Why, now that it's been three years. Many of the third-year students who have a talent for Life Magic have given up on becoming adventurers and have started studying for university entrance exams."

If you wanted to become an adventurer, you would have to train in the dungeon during summer vacation. If you gave up and went to the university, you had to concentrate on your studies during summer vacation.

Karina knew that, too. However, it was only recently that Grimm realized the potential of Life Magic, and Karina herself began to learn it. It's not like she was dawdling.

"I think it's the academy's problem that the importance of Life Magic was realized. But, you guys are young. I think you have time to take a little detour. However, giving up on being an adventurer and living a normal life, that would be the end."

Takeuchi gave Karina a serious look.

"Sensei, if I learn Grimm-sensei's Life Magic, can I really become a full-fledged adventurer?"

"You will acquire the ability to become an F-class adventurer. But, whether or not you can become a full-fledged one cannot be decided by magic alone."

"Understood. I will focus on my training in the dungeon during summer vacation."

"I appreciate your enthusiasm. But don't worry too much, it's okay. If you follow the Life Magic Club's curriculum, you'll be able to learn the minimum amount of Life Magic, so study hard."

"I, is that so."

It seemed that Takeuchi was willing to abandon his studies and begin training in Life Magic.

At that time, an official arrived at the Principal's Office. He was an official of the Magic Education Division, which was established when the Magic Academy opened.

"Principal Kiryuin, I heard from the next academic year onwards, Life Magic classes will be held in the 2nd and 3rd years as well. Why is that?"

"Because I felt that Life Magic education is necessary."

"What a stupid thing. The reason we established the Magic Academy was to cultivate human resources who could play an active role in the dungeon."

The principal turned his gaze to Uzaki, the official.

"Yes, of course. I thought that Life Magic classes were necessary in order to cultivate human resources who could play an active role in the dungeon."

"I don't understand. It's common knowledge that Life Magic is useless in the dungeon."

"Apparently, your common sense is outdated."

"Outdated? What do you mean?"

"In terms of Life Magic, new magic is being discovered one after another and registered with the Magic Agency. If you say it's useless without knowing this, it is nothing but outdated. Or do you know the new Life Magic?"

Uzaki frowned.

"But, even if new Life Magic is discovered, it won't necessarily be useful in the dungeon, right?"

"No, there are students who have already mastered the new Life Magic and are active in the dungeon. The other day, those students defeated a GoblinLord. It surprised me."

Uzaki's eyes widened when he heard that a GoblinLord had been defeated.

"If you say that much, you should actually show it."

Uzaki said he wanted to see the Life Magic that the students used.

"If you are convinced after seeing that, will you provide a budget for Life Magic classes?"

"That's fine. Can the students of the academy use magic that will convince me?"

The man named Uzaki was an excellent government official who was said to be a vice-minister in the future. If he could persuade that man, the budget for Life Magic classes would be acquired.

New magic classes required the purchase of magic circles, which was costly. If they could get a budget here, it would be very welcome. However, Uzaki was an official of the Magical Education Division. He must have seen many magics. He may not be convinced by simple magics.

The principal called Karina. Then he told her about Uzaki and asked her to show him some flashy magic.

"Flashy magic? Life Magic doesn't have many flashy magics."(TN:Also, flashy magic =/= useful magic)

Karina was asked by the principal to go back to Alisa and the others and tell them about it.

"If that's the case, the SeventhHighBlade would be good."

Amane suggested while looking at Chika.

If they targeted the rocks in the training grounds, they would be able to show off a flashy performance.
