Dangerous Magic Application

 

 A lot of water bursts out and splashes around my surroundings. The splashing water made my body a little wet, but the temperature had risen thanks to the fireballs floating around so it still felt good. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Still it’s amazing how fast you can grasp it. This should be enough already」

「Waaーi」

 After repelling all the water that attacked me with the mana activation, I received a passing mark from Elna-kaasan.

 As I was being happy about it, I suddenly saw a glitter at the edge of my vision.

 Fully grasping the situation, I use mana on my left foot.

 However, the swooping water that looked flowing immediately changed its trajectory and clung to my right arm.

 I instantly gather my mana into my right arm and use mana activation. The clinging water then bursts and splashes out.

「……Elna-kaasan」

「It’s just a minor application of using magic. I thought Al would be able to handle it without a problem」

 When I intensely stared at her unconsciously due to her action, Elna-kaasan only said that to me without changing her expression even for one millimeter.

 Given Elna-kaasan’s personality, I thought she aimed to make a surprise attack but, immediately changed the trajectory of the magic even while doing it with no chant, what an ill-natured attack.

 I feel like her magic got better compared to before.

 Although, I wonder if it was a good thing since I was able to experience a realistic situation? Oh well, I’m going to spend a normal slow life so I don’t want to experience this kind of thing though.

「Say, are there other interesting methods to use magic?」

 It’s extremely rare for Elna-kaasan to teach me a magic lesson.

 So I have to ask about it while I can. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Al really loves magic, huh. Rightー, what about a way to use magic so it will be useful in fighting with others?」

「Like what for example?」

 Elna-kaasan explained as she cast Fire magic while smiling brightly.

 Dozens of fireballs float around Elna-kaasan.

「What would Al do if these fireballs are shot toward you?」

「I will get burnt」

「Please answer seriously」

 I was plainly scolded when I told her about the possible future.

「I will shoot them all down with magic」

 There are choices to defend against it with magic but those fireballs are under Elna-kaasan’s control.

 Even if I put Shield in front of me she would probably just be surrounded.

 Even if protect myself by putting up Shields around me, it’s not a good move to end up in a situation where I continue to endure it like a turtle.

「Ara, do you need to shoot them all down? Look carefully」

 That’s what I thought to deal with them but it seems like it was not the correct answer.

 In this situation, ‘look’ is probably not meant in a visual sense.

 I calm down and try to observe Elna-kaasan’s fireballs. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Ah! Most of the fireballs are not filled with mana!」

「Right. Of all these fireballs only three of them have a decent attack power. As for the rest even if they are just for show at most you will only feel hot if you get hit by them. But, the opponent who can’t see through it will be under the impression that it was an attack that will do fatal damage and will overreact」

「Uwaaー, what a bad disposition」

「Please say that this is using mana efficiently instead」

 You will still end up being wary if you are shown this much magic.

 Even someone who can actually sense mana like me couldn’t sense it quickly and ended up trying to take all of them out.

 Just as Elna-kaasan said, it would probably be effective for people whose weak point are their mana perception or being wary of magic.

「Al should also try it」

「Un」

 Being told that by Elna-kaasan, I also create around ten fireballs.

 Dividing the mana and adjusting the image, I decided on three fireballs that would be the main offensive part.

 The other seven were just fireballs with no real attacking power like an illusion. It would be doubtful whether they can even be used as a spark.

「It’s done」

「It will be obvious if you create it all and then divide it up like that. Please do it at the same time as you create them」

 I thought I was able to acquire the skill but it seems this is not enough.

 Certainly, if I were to divide the mana so openly like that after the creation it would be seen through.

 So it is advisable to complete it all at the moment of their creation.

 Canceling the created fireballs, I use Fire magic once again.

 I cast it with the image of dividing the mana as I did earlier from the start of creating the fireballs.

 Then, it became possible to divide the mana at the same time as the creation of the fireballs.

「Next choose only one for the main attack」

 I guess she discovered that I recreated the three main fireballs like before. Magic is valuable only when put into practice.

 I canceled the magic and did not recreate it again with the same image, I divided the mana in an instant and created the fireballs.

 The main attacking fireball is one and nine other fireballs with no power were completed.

 After instantly dividing the mana, Elna-kaasan nodded in satisfaction.

 And when I shot them while moving the real fireball and mixing it with the other illusions, Elna-kaasan completely shot down only the real fireball and canceled each other out.

 It looks like you would be able to discover it immediately if you have a mana perception as good as Elna-kaasan.

 The fireball - that doesn’t have that much of mana put inside - disappeared naturally in midair.

「How is it now?」

「It’s a good work」

 Apparently Elna-kaasan was also satisfied with the result. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Since this also can be applied to other magic it’s relatively easy to use.

 Well, it will be a rare situation where I will have to fight with others with magic though.

「Say, Elna-kaasan……」

「What is it?」

「It’s a very efficient way of using mana, but is there a gentler way of using it?」

 I’d like to know some magic like the escalator-like magic to easily move around or some other fun way of using magic.

「That is what Al is always thinking, right. This is a method of using mana for self-defense in the end」

「That’s true」

 Those are certainly what I’m always thinking.

 To aim for today is to be taught methods to use various magic so let’s just accept that fact.

●

 After that, I learned several more practical uses of magic from Elna-kaasan.

 Although they were dangerous practical uses of magic, it was fun since they are things I wouldn’t have thought of.

 Since there is also a technique effective for swordsmen among them, it will probably be very effective as a countermeasure against Eleonora-neesan.

 I’m extremely grateful for that kind of magic.

「I guess it’s something like that. It’s about time I return to give a lecture to Eleonora」

「Un, thank you」

 After thanking her, Elna-kaasan brightly smiled and left.

 But, I remembered something I wanted to ask.

「Ah, Elna-kaasan」

「What is it?」

「I’ve been wondering about it but, could it be I have a lot of mana?」

 Even Baghdad- someone boasting an amount of mana of all magicians in the history of Lazur kingdom - had less mana than me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Salva also said that I have quite a lot of mana, but what’s the truth I wonder?

「It’s not just ‘a lot’, but it’s by far the most mana among the magicians. If it’s in terms of mana alone, I think there are no magicians in Misphilt kingdom who can compare with you?」

「Eeh? What is that!?」

 Not only in Lazur kingdom but also in the Misphilt kingdom, does that mean that my mana is world-class level or something?　

「That’s why, Nord and I have been suggesting you to become the royal court magician. And not just about the amount of Al’s mana, you also have an extraordinary talent in magic. I’m sure you will be famous enough to leave your name in history if you become the royal court magici――」

「Ah, I’m not interested in that kind of thing」

 Elna-kaasan starts to be filled with passion as she talks so I cut her off while knowing that it will be rude since it seems like it’s going to be long.

 I just want to live a relaxed slow life in the countryside.

 I can understand Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan’s expectations but I’m not interested in becoming a magician that will leave his name in history or something like that.

 To begin with, you’re definitely gonna get busy if you get a job like that. I’ve decided that I want to live leisurely and enjoy it in this life.

「Well, you’re still a child so you can slowly think about it 」

 After Elna-kaasan sighed at my answer, she slowly returned to the mansion.

 Err no, there’s no need to think about it. My life plan has already been decided ever since I was reincarnated in this world as a baby.

 I feel sorry for Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan, but I have no intention of becoming a royal court magician. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
