Episode 9 Sage System

　I'm called 'Grimm-Sensei' by the student. It seems that the unconventional name given by my parents had an impact.

"Why are you in the dungeon alone?"

　Amane turned her face down.

"I was thinking of raising my ranking"

"With just one person it's really dangerous."

"But isn't Sensei alone?"

"Ku, I was hit with a painful fact. I regret that I also imitated a fool."

"If so, we are like each other."

"Well, let's leave it at that today. Let's go back together."

　After picking up the war hammer dropped by Amane, we headed to the ground.

"Can Sensei use more than just life magic."

"Why? I can hardly use anything other than life magic."

"If so, how did you defeat the monsters?"

"Ah, that. I use life magic and this hunting sword."

　When I tapped the scabbard with my hunting sword, Amane tilted her head.

　From the appearance of Amane, she was disappointed to find out the general evaluation of life magic.

"But life magic is not magic that attacks something."

"It depends on how you use it. I'll prove it when we move up to the next layer."

　We went up to the second layer.

"Be careful, Grimm-Sensei. The monster cat here is quick."

　After walking for about five minutes, we encountered a Ripper Cat. I pull out the hunting sword and tell Amane.

"I'll beat you, so don't touch it."

　Amane went back about two steps.

　At that moment, the Ripper Cat jumped at me.

"'Push'."

　I activate 'Push' aloud to teach Amane what I used. The Ripper Cat was flipped up towards the ceiling and I slashed its throat with the hunting sword to kill it as he fell.

"My goodness!"

"Just now, I used life magic to kill monsters."

"Did you use 'push' just now? What did you do?"

"I pushed the cat up and attacked where it was falling."

"I can't believe it. I've never seen a person fighting monsters with life magic."

"Depending on the type of monster, life magic may be more effective. Like Blood-sucking Bats."

"Blood-sucking Bats? They have a reputation for being a hard-to-defeat monster. Weapons are dodged and magic is hard to hit with."

　We went up even more. Then, we encountered a Blood-sucking Bat.

"'Roll'."

　I activate the magic of 'Roll' on the Blood-sucking Bat that flies around quickly. The bat starts spinning at high speed in the air.

　The bat that stopped spinning fell to the ground with a plop.

"Look, you kill it."

　When I say that to Amane, she holds the war hammer in her hand and swings it down as if in a hurry.

　I used life magic to defeat Blood-sucking Bats and Frenzy Mice.

"How is it? Life magic is amazing, isn't it?"

"That's right. I understand that it's effective against weak monsters, but for monsters encountered in intermediate and advanced dungeons, it's a little ..."

　Amane's words stuck in my chest. When I thought about it myself, I didn't think it would work in intermediate or advanced dungeons.

　After defeating some monsters, we returned to the ground. After parting from Amane, I returned to the janitor's hut and took out my luggage from my backpack.

　Some magic stones and black iron sand, a pair of goggles, a scroll.

"I have a lot of magic stones. I'll go sell them tomorrow. Well, should I check the scroll?"

　I picked up the scroll and opened it up. The scroll had the words 'Life Magic Creation' written in magic letters. I can read magic characters if only a little. And something like a magic circle was also written.

"This is ... a Sage System, isn't it?"

　The Sage System is a system that creates magic. It has been obtained by several adventurers in the past, who created a lot of magic and spread it to the world.

　In honor of their achievements, they came to be called 'Wiseman' or 'Sage'. I've heard that there are different types of Sage Systems, and that they correspond to magical types.

　But is it a life magic Sage System? Anyway, the attack magic Sage System would have been good.

"Oh, no. I could only create magic below my magic level."

　Even if I get the attack magic Sage System, if my attack magic is magic level 0, I can't create any magic.

"That means I was lucky to have a life magic Sage System."

　I knew how to use the scroll. All I have to do is pour in my magical power with the scroll open.

　I poured magical power into the scroll. The knowledge and know-how contained in the scroll flows into my head. My brain, which received the enormous knowledge, screams.

　Still, I fainted at the knowledge of mercilessly invading.

　When I became aware again, the hands of the clock were pointing at nine o'clock. I seem to have been fainted for more than four hours.

"I had a terrible experience. Yes, what about the scroll?"

　There was a scroll on the floor. When I picked it up and spread it out, the magic characters and magic circles that were written on it had disappeared. It seems that it has been used.

　When I look inside my head, there is something like a virtual space in my head, and it seems that magic can be developed using that space.

　Life magic seems to be able to do 'D-particle manipulation' and 'D-particle primary mutation'. It is the D-particle manipulation that forms and moves the D-particle plate such as 'Push', and it seems that 'Light' etc. can be realized by the primary mutation of the D-particle.

"It's different from what I had imagined. I thought it was more mysterious .... I should try it."

　Using the magic of 'Swing' as a sample, I remodeled the D-particle into a sword-like shape and swung it down.

　However, I found that it took time to form D-particles in the shape of a sword. It takes time to activate magic to collect and form D-particles.

　It seems that it was meaningless for 'Swing' to form an ultra-thin Keisaku Plate. If it is so thin, the magic will be activated immediately, but it will take time to collect the D-particles required for the thickness of the sword with one magic.

　I changed my idea to make it magic that forms an ultra-thin elongated plate that looks like a V when viewed from the front. The V-shaped plate is sharpened at a narrow angle like a chisel of a carpenter's tool.

　When I try to activate it, it cuts a radish. However, when it was activated against firewood, the V-shaped plate collapsed after biting into it.

　It seems it couldn't stand the shock. Therefore, two V-shaped plates are formed at the same time so that they are overlapped. This time, firewood with a diameter of about 5 cm was cut. However, if the firewood is thicker than that, it will collapse.

　Since my life magic has reached magic level 5, I can use up to 5 life magic at the same time. I increased the number of V-shaped plates to five and tried it.

　This time, it will be activated on firewood with a diameter of about 10 cm. There is a buzzing sound of tearing through the air, and the firewood is split in two. When the magic that was activated multiple times is combined and activated, it seems that the power will increase due to the synergistic effect.

　Then I made some improvements to complete the magic called 'Blade'. I have proven that even life magic can exert power like attack magic.
