Julia then explained to us how to use fire magic in a very slurred manner. The logic of warming the body by breathing and activating the magic by chanting remained the same. She explained difficult magical theories from time to time, but I was convinced that they were, in essence, just to make it easier to visualize.
For example, the long chanting. That is exactly what they are meant to do, to create an image of the magician.
"Let the spirits of fire that float in the heavens and the earth be welcomed into my hands under the guidance of the god of fire. The purity of the spirits will annihilate the evil and poisonous beasts that harm the world as if they were boiling water poured over frost. Come, spirits! ......"
Something like that. Actually, the chants were much longer than that, but my memory could not remember them.
While doing these long chants, I would create images in my mind and imagine that I was raising my body temperature by breathing and activating the magic. ....... This is probably Julia's theory of magic, and probably the standard way of operating magic in this world.
Considering this, Master Falco's method is different. It is a theory that could be considered heretical. However, the theory is very clear and easy to use. However, if it becomes the standard, those who teach magic will lose their livelihood.
I heard that my teacher was an instructor at a magical university. He was fired because he was too strict in his teaching and there was no end to the number of people who quit. I think that this was partly because his theories were not accepted by the students.
He was certainly harsh and unforgiving to me as well, and I almost died many times. However, he always followed up with me. He never let me get injured beyond the level of his healing magic, and he carefully told me why I got attacked and how I should have avoided it. However, when he didn't do what he said, he got angry. I was very angry. That was, I think, when I had learned to use magic to some extent. ....... When I tried to use magic on my own idea instead of doing as my master told me, he grabbed me by the chest.
"You, why don't you do what I told you! First of all, the least you can do is to do what you are taught, as you are taught. If you can't do that, I'll excommunicate you!
He was furious. I was scared of my master at that time. I really thought he was going to kill me. ...... Well, I didn't ask him to make me an apprentice, but I think that the fact that I, who had never used magic at all, became able to use it so much proves that his theory was correct.
"Hey, I'm listening to you!
Julia raised her voice. I was so startled that my body trembled. She hides her face so she can't see my expression, but I just nod my head and squint my eyes.
"Whoa!"
Again, a voice came up. It came from behind me. I turn around to see a pillar of fire rising from Sidhi's hand. She is in a panic, waving her hands frantically to put out the fire.
Boom!
Suddenly water falls from above Sidhi's head. It extinguished her flames. It seems that Escalina had controlled the water to extinguish the fire. She is contracted with a water spirit and does not like fire. She might have been angry in a sense, since it suddenly appeared right next to her.
"...... Oh, thank you."
It looked like a pretty bad punishment, but Sadie didn't think so and thanked him for his kindness. Seeing them, Julia raised her voice again.
"Did you try fire magic by any chance after you heard my story? Is this your first time? Is this your first time doing fire magic?"
Sidhi, perhaps pushed by the sheer force of the situation, slowly nodded his head in silence. She looks completely bewildered, but Julia's momentum does not stop. She continues to speak.
"Since we're here, why don't you come and train in fire magic with me? There is a shortage of fire mages in the Imperial Army, and there are few fire mages among mages and wizards. You seem to have a good sense, so if you train with us you will become a good fire mage. It will be easier to improve your skills if we all train together!"
I wonder if I'm being included in the training group, seeing as how she's glancing at me as she speaks. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't do that. .......
Julia continued to say more without taking my feelings into consideration. Next, she began to talk to Escalina.
"You are water? You're good! I didn't hear any chanting, but you didn't do it without chanting, did you? If so, you must be very skilled. What other magic can you use? Can you use float? You know, that thing that freezes water? Hey, what do you think?"
...... Escalina is angry. She totally hates it. Don't you get it? I can feel the murderous intent in her voice, but I wonder if Julia can feel it.
I couldn't help it. Julia regained her composure at my words and turned her head to look at me with a surprised expression on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You belong to Agartha, don't you? ......"
"Well, if you get a chance, I'd love to do some magic, hey. ......"
I try to make some kind of casual conversation and end it like this, but it seems my feelings are not being conveyed. Julia spoke to me some more.
"But you know, you, me and her are fire mages, she is a water mage, and I have a wind mage, a lightning mage, and a warding and healing mage under my command, so we have almost all the attributes we need in terms of attack power. We can deal with any kind of attackers, so we don't have to worry about their offensive power at all. Then we need a warder and a healer. If we can get them, we'll have a solid lineup. Don't you think so?
I can't help but chuckle. Well, maybe so. .......
At that moment, a strong wind blew around me. I looked and saw that the wind seemed to be blowing up from Sidhi's feet. Did ...... Sadie wake you up?
"You're amazing! You can control two attributes, fire and wind? Don't tell me, did you hear me ......?"
"Agh!"
Suddenly, Sidney collapsed to his knees. This must have been ......M! must have run dry.
I walked up to her and picked up her little body with both hands, and at the same time, I started to pump M! I charge her with M!
"Whew... ......"
She took a deep breath and slowly lowered her head. She had hardly ever used wind magic before. She had been forced to use it. I guess that would reduce the M! What is wrong with her?
"Hey, what did you just do?
Julia came very close to my face. No, wait a minute, I said, pulling away from Sadie to get some distance from her.
"Is this some kind of healing spell?"
"No, you fell down, so I just took care of you."
Julia looks at me with complete suspicion. At that moment, Sidhi opens his mouth.
"I just got a little dizzy. ......"
"Really? Are you okay?"
Oh, yes. Thank you."
"Maybe you should get some rest. Hang on, I'll get you a blanket."
"Oh, um, ......"
"Don't worry about it. You may look pretty, but you have a pretty voice too.
With that, Julia strode away. When I looked at Sadie, I saw that her eyes were still glowing. It was as if to say, "This guy knows what he's doing.
Just as we were talking about going back to the residence in the capital to rest, a warm wind blew through the air between us. I had a bad feeling about this. .......
