“Sorry to keep you waiting. I really intended to return right away, but I never expected it would take this long… My apologies.”
I approached Tis, who had been watching the presentations while waiting, and immediately apologized for taking so much time. She shook her head left and right with a very apologetic attitude.
“N-no, I don’t mind at all.”
Perhaps being reserved, Tis said such a thing.… Read more
“…Felter. You said Aoi is stronger than you?”
“I’m no match for her at all.”
Felter answered immediately, and Ramsey showed his teeth in a laugh. Showing an expression that this had become interesting, Ramsey took out heavy gauntlets from his waist. For Ramsey, who seemed to prefer light equipment overall, those gauntlets were greatly out of place. It would be more fitting to say someone had borrowed someone else’s equipment, but when Ramsey held them, they strangely suited him well.… Read more
“Speed and strength should be good, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. The opponent has specialized completely in speed. If we enhance you in the same way, you’d be at a disadvantage since the opponent has more experience. In that case, let’s perform body enhancement with the idea that if we can land a hit, we can win.”
“Understood.”
At my words, Felter nodded obediently and began chanting.
Since becoming my disciple, I’ve had many practice battles with Felter.… Read more
“Dean-kun’s magical knowledge is biased toward wind and water. First, to help him understand wind and water magic up to the advanced level, we must teach him the mechanisms of wind and water, and the way of thinking about magic.”
When I briefly conveyed the study method, Tis furrowed her brow.
“No, but first-class magicians should be able to use various magics. If he can only use wind and water…”
“Ah, I apologize. I misspoke. What I meant is that he should first learn wind and water… Once wind and water magic reach a certain level, I think it would be best to learn fire and earth magic in order next.”… Read more
The other instructor’s presentation was water magic. They created a mountain and made spring water flow from its peak, forming a waterfall. Then, they froze that waterfall to create an ice castle. This presentation followed the advice I had given them, but they had added their own innovations to the incantation. To maximize the size of the ice castle, they had expanded the freezing range. What was truly admirable was how they had accurately mastered the incantation we had worked on together and then elevated it even further.… Read more
Going to the central plaza, many people had already gathered. Since there would be a presentation soon, most people were looking toward the center of the plaza.
“I’ll go check on Hennessy-sensei for a moment.”
“Ah, understood.”
“Then I’ll look for Dean-kun!”
“That sounds good. Please do.”
After this exchange with Aile and the others, I headed toward Hennessy, who was taking deep breaths at the side of the plaza. Hennessy usually lets her red hair hang down casually, but today it was properly tied up and set.… Read more
Before I knew it, last night we had spent over two hours discussing magic and educational systems from various countries. Topics about territorial issues and import/export also came up frequently, but those seemed to greatly influence magical development as well, so I made sure to listen carefully.
“…It’s such beautiful weather.”
Squinting at the morning sun, I think about today, the second day of the cultural festival.… Read more
“Currently, our Court-Highland has adopted Fidic Academy’s methods, implementing advancement based on ability and graduation based on final presentation results, but somehow the overall skill of our mages hasn’t improved. How are your countries handling this?”
“In terms of mage ability, we have some outstanding individuals. However, that’s largely due to talent. Carvan Kingdom has many unique magics, but aren’t those also research results by a very small number of talented individuals?”
“That’s true. Certainly, new magic creators appear every year, but it’s by the same ten or so people.… Read more
In the evening, I was called to attend a reception with representatives from various countries at Glen’s request. Since I had interrupted Grants earlier in the day when he was trying to say something, I couldn’t easily refuse.
When I went to the central plaza to watch the senior faculty presentation, Glen and the others were already gathered there. Had they really been giving cultural festival tours all day long?
“Oh, Aoi-kun!”… Read more
“Felter is scheduled to present on the second day afternoon at the eastern plaza. I intend to participate there as an experimental partner. I would also like to fight with Aoi-dono there. What do you think?”
When Ramsey said this with his chest puffed out, Diaggio turned around with a shocked expression.
“Ramsey Marquis. You don’t actually intend to fight Aoi-dono, do you?”
When Diaggio asked, Ramsey skillfully raised one eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders.… Read more
