Chapter 142: 138

 Pov : Henriette Lilli von Bernstein

"What is it, Lilli? It is unusual for you to ask for advice."

One day a few months ago, after a day of training, everyone was relaxed in the living room before going to bed.

　I visited Master who was relaxing in  her  room and asked him for advice.

'It's about my time-space attribute. ......"

"Space-time attributes, huh? I can only use the four main attributes. I don't know if it will be of any use to you."

"I don't care. I am sure that your wealth of knowledge will not go to waste."

The master herself is not able to use the space-time attribute, but she is the most powerful mage in the empire who has lived for 200 years. She could give me advice common to many spells, and could make me aware of new perspectives.

'Well, if you say so, I don't mind. So, what is the nature of your question? Is there something wrong with space-time magic?"

　I bowed to the master who invited me into the room, sat down on the sofa, and began to talk.

"In fact, my space-time space can be used relatively freely for things related to 'space' such as transfer and storage in different dimensions, but almost nothing related to 'time' can be done with it. Exceptionally, I can use the 'time' element, such as stopping or speeding up time, only in the different space that I have created. ......"

"I see."

The master crossed her arms and groaned, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and gazed at the ceiling. The master remained in this position for a dozen seconds or so before turning to me and saying, in a few words,

That is simply because the element of 'time' is more difficult than the element of 'space."

"Time is more complicated?

"Yes. Think about it. Space is just what is already there. If you observe the state of the world in detail and grasp it precisely, it would be easy to grasp space. Time, on the other hand, is like an invisible idea that has no substance and simply flows. Visible space and unseen time. It is not necessary to think too deeply to understand which is more difficult to understand".

"I see."

It is true, as it is said. Space is the world itself. We see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and feel with our body in order to understand what is going on in the world. We can perceive the state of the world through our sense organs.

Time, on the other hand, is not something that can be sensed by any of our sense organs. A picture painted by a painter is nothing more than a moment in time, and there is no time flowing through it. Time, to put it another way, is something that exists only in our psyche.

　Space, which has such substance, and time, which is merely a concept without substance. When it comes to manipulating them at will through magic that changes the world, even the average person who is not familiar with magic can easily determine which is easier.

　Even if we talk about space-time magic in one word, "time" and "space" are two very different things.

"But, Master, , "there is one question that needs to be answered. "

"What is it?"

"I can manipulate the flow of time at will as long as it is within the different space I have created. I can make time flow faster, slower, or even stop it completely. Why is this possible within the realm of my own magic, but impossible in the outside world?"

'Why is it possible within the realm of one's own magic, but not in the outside world? If it was done by your magic, you would have full knowledge of what kind of space it is. Or are you that one, that one who casts magic without understanding anything about your own magic?'

"No, no. It is only natural that you know your magic better than anyone else. ...... Oh, ts, I mean!"

I feel a shock as if a lightning bolt had struck me from my head to my back. Was this a sign of revelation? If so, the master who gave me that flash of inspiration is a terrifying person.

"If I were to take complete control of this world, even if it were only for a moment, ......"

"I would be able to see the future with near absolute certainty, even if it were only a moment in the future. With skill, I could even manipulate the flow of time."

"Master!'

I jumped up in excitement. I immediately realized that this was an abomination, even for a duchess, so I coughed and sat down again, but it was the Master herself. I am sure that the master knows that my cheeks and ears are turning red, so she dares to ignore it.

"First of all, you should start by understanding the time that flows in your consciousness. That way you will get a sense of it more quickly."

"Yes, I understand. I will try my best!"

"There is a similar spell called "possession by the thunder emperor. The details of the spell are a secret, so I can only guess, but I am sure it is a skill that accelerates consciousness and physical reaction speed by dozens of times by channeling lightning-attribute spell power throughout the body. Werner is probably good with the lightning attribute, so I suggest you ask him for advice."

I will try my best!

"Yes. I'm sure I can see the path that I should be on."

　"Time is something that flows only in my consciousness. So, for the time being, if I start by accelerating the time that flows through me, I may be able to get something out of it."

I am glad that my advice has been helpful.

"As expected from master ! 　Thank you!"

　I leave the master's room in high spirits, even though it is late at night.

　"If my magic grows even more, I will be able to stay next to Hal , who is getting stronger and stronger. Then I will be happy and I am sure he will be happy too."

　In order to refine myself, I rethink of my training plan for tomorrow. Driven by the exciting feelings that raised up from the bottom of my heart, I continued to move my pen on a blank sheet of paper.
