Chapter 65 — The Nature of Magic Acquisition

"We'll set up camp here."

"Ars, what the hell are you doing?"

　

　The river is located on the way south from Barca Village towards the nobles' city.

　On the way, we had stopped by the neighboring village in the southwest and succeeded in absorbing its strength including Vargas, then I came to the river in the south.

　

　It's not a big river, but it's deep.

　

　It was deep enough that there were only a few places where people could pass.

　

　If the Fontana family was coming to Barca village in large numbers, they would pass through here.

　

　I decided to take up a position at that spot first.

　

　We took up a position on the north side of the river and began to prepare the camp.

　

　I gathered firewood from the surrounding trees and branches to start a fire.

　

　In the meantime, I built one building after another.

　

　I mass-produced inns, which had become a standard practice.

　

　I split up parts of the land and perform 『Leveling』to recreate the inns from my memory.

　

　More and more buildings were popping up.

　

　In just one day, a place like an inn town had been built north of the river.

"In just one day, we've built an inn town north of the river, and I'm wondering if we should build a wall for defense."

　

　The number of people in our group exceeded 100, partly because we had absorbed people from the neighboring villages.

　

　We've built enough facilities to accommodate all of them, so I have more time and want to build more defenses.

　

　It seemed that the Fontana's had not yet arrived.

　

　So I decided to build a wall.

"What? There are people who can't use 『Wall Construction』?"

　

　But then I found out something surprising.

　

　The people I had named, which allowed them to learn magic.

　

　All of them had been able to use my own magic.

　

　However, I found out that there were people who could not use some of my magic.

　

　After a quick investigation, I found out something.

　

　There were people who could not use magic that required a large amount of mana.

　And it wasn't just that they couldn't use it, it was that they hadn't even learned the spell names.

　

　When you name a spell, the spell is learned as if it were input directly into the brain.

　

　When you name a spell, it's as if your brain is being fed information about the spell directly, and you have a vague understanding of what the spell does, along with its name.

　

　For example, if it's a spell like 『Leveling』 you can tell how much of the area can be cleared at once.

　

　But the ones who hadn't learned 『Wall Construction』 didn't seem to know that such magic existed, even after being name Barca, and they didn't know what kind of wall they could build.

　

　I wondered something.

　

　So, I gathered people who could use 『Wall Construction』 and people who couldn't use it and observed them.

　

　When I looked at them, I focused my magic power into my eyes and saw the amount of mana each individual had.

"I knew it. Those who can't build a wall don't have a lot of mana."

　

　As I thought, those who couldn't use 『Wall Construction』 had less magic power in general.

　

　It seems that there is a standard for being able to use certain spells, as well.

　

　Since wall construction creates a fairly large wall, a large amount of mana is used in one spell-cast.

　

　I had to take a potion to restore my mana when I built a wall around my land.

　

　And if the total amount of magic power a person possesses is not enough to cover the amount of mana used for a spell, it seems that the spell will not be input even as knowledge.

　

　Perhaps this was a mechanism to protect the person's own body.

　

　I once lost consciousness after consuming a disproportionate amount of magic power.

　

　It was a kind of magic deficiency, and I could not wake up for several days.

　

　I wondered what would happen if I learned a spell that would use up all my magic in one shot, even though I didn't have enough mana.

　

　What would happen in that case?

　

　Perhaps it's a defensive instinct in humans to prevent this from happening, or perhaps it's the way the magic works, so that those with insufficient power can only learn the appropriate magic for them.

　

　Let's keep this matter in mind as something that needs to be investigated further.

　

　I'll also follow up on whether the named person will be able to use 【Wall Construction】 when their magic power increases, in the future.

　

　Incidentally, it seems that some people were unable to use [Road Laying] as well as [Wall Construction].

　

　The reason for this is that it uses a lot of mana due to the wide width of the road that's being created.

　

　But it seems that everyone can use things like [Leveling] and [Soil Improvement], as well as things like [Body Strengtheninh] and [Shotgun] that are suitable for combat.

　

　For now, there will be no problems regarding magical capabilities in the upcoming battle.

　

　While puzzling over the strange phenomenon that happens with the Naming Circle, I finished surrounding Base Kawakita* with a wall.

　TLN*: It can also be translated as Camp Kawakita. but the thing is... I don't even know if Kawakita really is it's name... :welp:

　When the camp was completed, we received information about the Fontana family from the merchant ojiisan.
