Chapter 121: 121 Episode 121: Magic is the scent of a lighter.txt

The foundation and secret of magic is to give reason to the magic elements that abound in this world. Do you understand?

'It's a thing ....... No, it's a word I hear sometimes, but what does it mean?

It's hard to explain that to you. For example, when you heat up water, you get steam, right?　The water will run low, right?　The flames will be extinguished with water, right?　That's what reasoning is all about. That's the way things work.

Does the magic element become hot water and water?

That's right, Marina-kun. If you give the logic of hot water to a magic element, it becomes hot water, and if you give it the logic of water, it becomes water. The ice magic I'm good at is also made by giving the logic of ice to the element.

It's just a bunch of gibberish!

We are all taking Shamash's magic class.

The place is the plaza where we always do our combat training. It's an open-air classroom.

After all, I have a vocation as a "magician".

That means that I should be able to use it. That thing!　Magic!

It's been six months since I came to this world. It is finally.

According to Shamash-san, magic is a technique that anyone can handle. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

That's why it's not just me, Marina and Rebecca-san are learning it together.

The only exception to this is the elves, who apparently have no magical background, so they can't use it.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The basis of magic is 'fire'. It is said that the ability to create a fire is the difference between being able to do magic and not being able to do magic. Do you know why the 'Land of Fire' is called the 'Land of Fire'?　In that country, there is always a 'divine fire' burning in the center of every town. People grew up watching that fire every day, and learned the truth of fire. Apparently the scenery was so strange to the Imperials that they called the southern kingdom of Lilmeria Varsity the 'Land of Fire'.

Mr. Shamash talks about poop.

The Fire Nation. Elishe is the southernmost city of the empire, so the Fire Nation is across the ocean from us. Well, it seems that the Fire Nation is already a territory of the Empire.

I heard that it was called the 'Fire Nation' because the fire magicians boiled it all up during the war. There aren't many sorcerers in the Empire.

According to Rebecca, the Fire Nation's sorcerers were so powerful that 100 soldiers were killed by one powerful sorcerer.

That's why the Fire Nation had the upper hand at the beginning of the war.

But there are elves in the empire.

Apparently, the Fire Nation sorcerers had little leverage against the imperial soldiers, who had a hundred elites dressed in equipment enchanted with spirit stones to repel fire.

I see, if a country has only fire-specialized sorcerers, there's nothing more they can do if they can shut it down. ......

The first thing you need to do is to hold up your index finger. First, hold up your index finger and use that finger as a candle. At the end of that candle, light it. Like this.

A small fire flickers on the tip of Shamash's index finger.

You don't need a lighter.

In this world without a lighter, it seems pretty handy to be able to ignite it easily.

Oh, come to think of it, I wondered why I designated outside as the practice area, but I guess I was worried about the fire.

'Oh, that's the same thing I did at the spectacle the Lord had taken me to before!　At that time, Marina and the Princess were not able to make it, but the Lord was successful.

'Ooh, I missed 'The Magician's House'. Come to think of it, they explained it to me the same way back then.

The day we got Deanna and Marina.

It was Elishe's 50th anniversary that day, and there were many stalls set up.

The sorcerer's mansion is a freak show that I paid 30 ells or so each to enter at that time.

The contents of the bottle are: collecting water from the air, clairvoyance, human body levitation, teleportation, etc............. At first I thought it was definitely a magic trick, but then I realized that it was just a magic trick I guess it was.

I'm pretty sure they used fire magic as well, so I'm sure they didn't fake the sign of a sorcerer's house, but the whole thing was too entertaining to be called magic.

Aside from the fire-based spectacle, I think the first one is all magic tricks: .......

The first thing that comes to mind is that you have already mastered the magic of fire?

'It's more of a learning curve: ....... I could certainly do a bit of that at the time, though.

Really?　Hey, let me see if I can do that.

I'll do a little bit of it, as you ask.

I close my eyes and imagine it strongly.

I imagine the magic power as a gas, and imagine it swooshing out of my fingertips. I imagine the magic power running through my body leaks out from there.

My fingertips get hot. What's coming out of my fingers right now is flammable gas. The gas mixes with oxygen and becomes a flammable gas.

I have an image of sparks flying into it.

As soon as I open my eyes, I let the sparks fly.

Bob.

There it is.

At my fingertips, a fire is indeed appearing.

At the sorcerer's mansion, the fire burned out in an instant, perhaps because I was trying to gather gas, but this time, perhaps because I was trying to release gas from my body, I was able to ensure that it was as intermittent as a proper lighter.

It was a success.

'Wow, that's amazing!　I knew the Lord was a wizard.

Jirou, you said you had a vocation as a sorcerer. But isn't it great that you can do it all of a sudden?　

I'm glad Marina and Rebecca praised me. I'm such a talented guy!　I'll write "fire magic" on my resume.

I'm going to write "fire magic" on my resume. This is an excellent use of magic. Is this really the first time you've done this?

Twice, to be exact.

More to the point, he had tried to do it a few times in the mansion, but it didn't work. That mansion is said to be extremely thin on magic elements, so that's probably why.

'Alright, then, just stick your index finger out in front of you. Leave the fire unextinguished.

You mean like this?

He holds his arm out in front of him, holding up his index finger.

''That's right. And if you can increase your magic power and firepower as it is, I'd say it's a perfect rudimentary fire magic technique.''

As you were told, I will increase the output.

Gradually raising the magic power that comes out of my body--

swoosh

Oh.

It's gone. A failure.

'Well, it doesn't start out that well. It usually takes years to learn to use rudimentary magic, you know. ''Hmmm.''

Why do you look a little happy about it: ......

Because if it's so quick, what's the point in teaching it?

I see. Anyway, thank you for your guidance and encouragement from now on.

As for the magic, I didn't have a teacher and I was too busy with other things to try to teach myself, but now that I have a teacher, I'm going to be a bit more proactive in learning it.

I'm talking about the fact that I can do it out of the blue, which is proof that I have pretty good qualities.

I get carried away and play with my fingertips, popping them on fire.

You can!　You can do it!

However, when I try to increase the firepower, it just disappears in a flash, so it's going to take a while to get it up to a practical level.

Oh, but it's sorcery, eh?

Swords are fun, but if you can use magic as well, you're a wizard. You're a mage.

No, my vocation was already a mage wielder or some such middle-aged guy.

A wizard, a sorcerer. Before you know it, you're covered in demons and have a dark attribute feeling.

Maybe it's because I've lived a backward life of being a black company, a recluse, a net-octane tenant buyer. ......

I also learned the basics of witchcraft in Dr. Shamash's classroom.

It is said that in this world, there are magicks and spirit elements fluttering around in the atmosphere.

The sorcerer takes the magic element into his body and makes it into his own magic power.

Then they use it to perform magic.

I've heard that the elves take in the element and use it as their own magic power, unlike humans who can live without it, the depletion of the element is a matter of life and death. It's a bit like being a fairy, isn't it?

By the way, it seems that the demon race is much more efficient at absorbing and using magic power than humans, but they don't run out of magic power like the elves do with their spirit power. In the case of elves, the depletion of spirit power was supposed to cause their reasoning to fade, but I wonder if it means the demon race doesn't have that kind of thing, which is a bit of a shame.

I want to see it just once. Where the demon race's reason flies.

That day, we all ended up only training in rudimentary magic techniques.

They stare at the fire and get closer to reason ...... by knowing what fire is.

Hmmm. I guess I'll have to go to Wikipedia to find out.

By the way, Ion has already mastered up to rudimentary fire magic.

According to Shamash-san, Ion must be quite talented to be able to use this much in two years. That's because she's a former princess who has two advanced vocation in a row, and even a sorcerer's vocation: ....... She has a different bloodline than us pimps .......

I asked Shamash-san what was bothering her while drinking tea after the training.

'Shamash-san. It's called magic, but how is it different from summoning magic or spirit magic?

'How ...... or rather, it's something fundamentally different. Summoning magic is only for the demon race - the nightmare race, and spirit magic is only for elves. Spirit magic in particular is real magic, using spirit power to create numerous miracles.

Hmm?　Even summoning magic is magic, right?

...... No, the summoning technique is in the category of reasoning that monsters spring up in, of course. But the necromancy technique disrupts that logic. You've at least seen a rejuvenation technique before, right?

'There is but ....... Hmmm, that was definitely a bit of magic though.

The magic of rejuvenation is something I've observed a priestess use. A single spirit stone only makes you a year younger, so it's hard to understand at a glance, but that was certainly something that could be called a miracle.

In that respect, summoning magic might indeed be even routine in a world where monsters spring up.

''Ah, but the demonic beasts that Shamash-san summons are alive, aren't they?　It's a bit of a different haircut than the monster: ....... Is that one calling from somewhere?

Monsters spring out of the magical pools and have very little that looks like intelligence. Except for the ones with names like Arcus or Argus, but the ordinary ones are just as bad as the beasts. But the one Mr. Shamash calls out appears to be a bit smarter than that.

'Well?　I wonder where it came from?

Shamash put his index finger to his chin and tilted his head.

''You don't know?!''

''In a manner of speaking, I'm said to have been called from a world called the Demon World: ......

The demon world.

It's true that Ai from Evil Eye, for example, was a guy who could be called a resident of the demon world. Well, there is such a thing as this other world. It's no wonder there's a magical world out there.

"Come to think of it, is Ai-chan the strongest person that Shamash-san can call?

I'm also curious about this one. I've heard there are a number of different kinds of demonic beasts that you can call.

The only ones I've seen are Eye and Shadow Knight-kun, and then Golem.

''Hm?　In terms of being strong, ...... yeah, you're right. Ai would be the strongest.

There are some implications.

''No, there's another demonic beast that's difficult to call. As for Ai, the shorter time she can manifest, the less time she can spend manifesting, the less magical stones she needs.

I guess a demonic stone is a demonic crystal. In an old-fashioned way, they might call it a demon stone.

Meaning?

Some hexenbiests can only manifest themselves as living things. As a proper creature. However, it requires an unthinkable amount of magical crystals, so it's just not realistic or even possible. I know the spell, but I've never actually invoked it before.

Heh!　That's great. Doesn't that mean I can keep calling you?

In a way, it doesn't mean that we can count them as a permanent force.

Even if it's something like Shadow Knight-kun, if you can keep him stationed as a guard knight for a long time, it will be quite easy to live in this world.

Discarded is a bad word to use, but a force that can be disposable is quite effective.

Even if it costs a little bit of money, you want to call them.

''So, what kind of things can you call up?''

Well, you know that big magical crystal that came out of the ground the other day. It's from the One-Eyed Giant. ...... That one size fits all, you can call up a headless knight named Dullahan.

A headless knight, huh? ....... It's very subtle .......

To be honest, it's too evil to be used as a guard. It's not so much that it's conspicuous or inconspicuous, it's that it's too monstrous. It might be fine if it's for guarding the house, though. What happens if they find you!　A strike force is coming!

Isn't there anything else? Anything else?

Come to think of it, that huge demonic crystal is worth 200 gold coins. That's about 30 million yen. It is not an amount of money that can be spent on a hassle-free basis,...... but that doesn't mean there is no use for it. No, you could sell it, but that would be a waste of money.

Hmmm. It's not practical, but with two magic crystals of that size, you can call up a riding dragon. Even though it's a dragon, it's said to be small enough for one or two people to ride it: ......

A dragon!　Seriously?

No. Are dragons any more monstrous than Dullahan?　It doesn't sound too bad, depending on what you think: .......

I think a dragon is a giant lizard ....... It looks like a giant Komodo monitor lizard ...... that's bigger than a Komodo lizard.

A dragon, huh .......

Hmm?　A dragon?

'Come to think of it, Rebecca, your vocation has become a dragoon.

'That's what you said. If it's a dragoon, it will be a perfect match for a dragon.

Hmm. Indeed. Plus, you said you got a cavalry-dragon type skill.

Rebecca, in her knightly gear, straddling the back of a dragon: ......?

It's pretty gorgeous.

This isn't bad, is it?

From now on, a knighthood with a dragon knight is not a bad icon for a knight squad.

There's even a parade coming up. The more flashy, the better.

With dragons, even if they don't actually fight, they can probably make a living just by having parades.

'What's the matter with you, Ayase? The dragons won't make it anyway, will they?　Two demonic crystals of that size. It's enough money to feed you for the rest of your life.

It's 60 million yen. But if the dragons are worth that amount of money, we'll go!　

That's about the most expensive car on the planet!

I'll take one of those.

I took out two oversized demon crystals from my inventory.

◇◆◆◆◆◆◆.

The next day, just after noon.

After the usual combat training was over, I performed the summoning of the dragons.

I've already talked to everyone in the knight squadron.

Although I'm in charge of the oversized demon crystal, Arcus and Arguese all fought together, and it's not something I can use on my own.

I thought there would be some people who would object, but they all agreed with me, saying that it would be interesting and that I would leave it to Jirou.

We decided to open the shop in the afternoon and invited Etowah to join us. What an event. A dragon summoning would be so rare that you could only see it once in a lifetime.

While everyone was watching with bated breath, I placed two oversized demon crystals on the ground.

''Well, I'm nervous when there are this many galleries here!　I'm a bit of a recluse, so I have a weakness for the public eye.

Shamash's sudden declaration of seclusion, but it is true that she often works in her room.

Her hobby seems to be modeling, and she has built a house by herself, and she can even knead soil and do plastering by herself.

Maybe it's because he's an artist, but that's the kind of person he is.

So you want me to start now?

Shamash looks around with a soothing smile.

It's probably more of a confirmation to the whole gallery than to me.

The summons will be quick.

Is the bathroom OK? Is everyone here properly?　Are you ready for this?

It looks all right.

Please!

When I shouted that, Shamash-san nodded one nod and went to face the demonic crystal.

Shamash-san's light red aura rose up with each word, each word.

And then the spell is spun--
