Burying Magic

 After the Misfid house’s servants cleaned up the fragments and splinters from the magic doll earlier, Gideon began practicing on his own. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Apparently, the image of me casting my magic with chant omission earlier made a strong impression in his mind and he wanted to practice it in his own way.

 It is important to master magic techniques by repetition so I decide to leave Gideon alone for a while.

  He will try it by himself and if he doesn’t understand something, he will probably come to me and ask.

「What are we going to play now?」

「I also want to be able to break the magic doll!」

 Since I no longer have to keep Gideon company now I asked Ra-chan and she said that with a sparkle in her eyes.

 Not only had it left a strong memory in her mind, but it looked like the earlier scene had strongly stimulated Ra-chan’s childish spirit.

 I don’t know if this is a good result or not, but it is a good thing to be able to say you want to do something spontaneously.

「Yosh, then let’s increase our magic power so we can break the magic doll!」

「Un, so we can break it!」

 With Ra-chan’s current amount of mana, it’s probably impossible for her to break the magic doll so let’s first set a goal to increase her magic power.

「Can Ra-chan tell me what offensive magic you are good at first?」

「It’s 【Wind Blade】 and 【Impactless Ball】!」

 Hmーm, although the power of Wind Blade is strong, it’s scary because it can wound and kill someone.

「Then, let us use 【Impactless Ball】」

「Un! Okay!」

 Impactless Ball has low wounding and killing power so it’s probably fine even if use that to train and if you adjust the power, it can even be used against some thugs.

 It’s a magic that can be used by the daughter of a Duke - Ra-chan - so there’s no harm in using it.

「Do you want to try it right away?」

「Un!」

 Ra-chan nodded and began chanting. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Creating a ball of non-attribute magic in the palm of her hands, Ra-chan sends it flying toward the newly placed magic doll.

 The Impactless Ball made a direct hit at the magic doll and then bounced off with a high-pitched sound.

 When I tried to look at the magic doll's armor, there wasn’t even a scratch on it.

 I see. With this much power, it wouldn’t cause any damage, huh?

「……how is it?」

「It’s better to gather and bundle your mana to increase your mana even more」

「Gather and bundle my mana?」

「Create the ball by pouring mana from the outside of the ball to the center of the ball」

 I create an Impactless Ball to show her an example.

 I let my mana flow into the center of the ball to make it easier for her to understand.

「Waー, amazing! The ball Al made is so pretty!」

「If you shape it perfectly into a ball like this, there won’t be any waste in your mana, you know」

 The Impactless Ball made by Ra-chan wasted a lot of mana since she let her mana circulate disorderly so it’s unable to demonstrate its desired power.

 While trying to reduce such a loss in mana for the time being, she should also work hard to improve the power.

「I will try it just as Al said!」

 After observing my magic, Ra-chan starts creating another Impactless Ball again.

「【Impactless Ball】!」

 The ball Ra-chan shot hit the magic doll directly.

「It’s much more powerful than before, isn’t it」

「Un! I’ll try more」

 Although there was not even a scratch on the magic doll, it could be seen that the mana had converged even more compared to earlier the power of the ball had increased. And it seems like Ra-chan herself felt the same way. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Ra-chan immersed herself in converging her mana, creating the Impactless Ball, and then shooting it out.

 On the other hand, now I have some free time so I made a bunch of Impactless Balls and placed them on the ground to play around.

 If I keep some high-quality magic here, it would become a good reference for Ra-chan and it would also serve as the daily tasks of my mana consumption practice, basically killing two birds with one stone.

 While I was thinking like that, I made the twentieth Impactless Ball on the ground.

 ……this feels like it’s going to be a nice trap you set up by burying them on the ground.

 When I tried digging up the ground of the courtyard and burying it, the Impactless Ball continued to stay there without exploding.

「Oooh……」

 When I tried throwing a small stone at it as a test, it burst as the Impactless Ball was activated and the impact sent the stone spinning wildly as if flew away.

「This is useful」

 It’s going to be useful as a trap to set Asmo and Torr up.

 They would definitely not notice it if you buried it underground. They don’t have the ability to sense mana.

 Imagining their figures getting blown away and spinning in the air makes me laugh.

 As for Eleonora-neesan……I think she’s going to be able to detect it with her wild instinct.

 Oh well, it might also be useful as a trap to intercept the opponent when attacked.

「Nnnー, it’s difficult 」

 While I was thinking of a new method to use the magic, Ra-chan frowned and muttered so.

「It’s a different technique from Psychic, which covers the object with mana and spreads it out. It’s fine as long as you can do it little by little」

「……un」

 The basic to use the mana is different from Psychic - which she can use to the level of chant omission -, but this is also a basic technique so if she can master it, she will be able to apply it to other magic such as Fireball, Fire Spear, and Fire Arrow, it doesn’t hurt learning it.

「By the way, what is Al doing?」

「I’m making a trap by burying the Impactless Balls」

「That looks interesting! I also want to bury it in the ground!」

 Children’s moods are constantly changing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 They will jump on it right away if they see something else that looks interesting.

「Unfortunately, this burying method can not be done unless you master the mana converging technique」

「Eehhー!」

「It will burst the moment it touches the ground unless you concentrate the mana flow into a single point, after all」

 An unconverged Impactless Ball is just like a mass of energy with no fixed directionality.

 The Impactless Ball Ra-chan made are dangerous so I put them to the side.

「So that’s why」

「So if you want to bury them you can use mine」

「Okay. I will bury Al’s Impactless Balls」

 Ra-chan - who obediently listens to what I said - buried my safe Impactless Balls in the ground.

「……just what the heck are you all doing?」

 As I was diligently burying the Impactless Ball together with Ra-chan, Gideon came over with an astonished expression on his face.

「We’re burying magic in the ground」

「……I don’t understand what kind of thinking would make you want to bury magic in the ground」

「Gideon-sama, this kind of flexible approach is a shortcut to master chant omission」

「I see. So it’s something like that……」

 When mentioned something along those lines, Gideon nodded with an expression as if it had some truth in it and started helping by burying the balls.

 I’m going to be able to lie and get by making excuses like that as long as he still can’t master chant omission. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「I’ve buried everything, now what?」

「We will make them burst all at once」

 There are twenty-three Impactless Balls buried in the ground.

 And since they were all magic I created using my own mana, I can tell exactly where they are.

 I clapped my hands and released the concentrated mana.

 The buried Impactless Balls burst with a ‘puff’ sound.

「「Oooohhhh!」」

 The power of the Impactless Balls was suppressed to the absolute minimum, but activating the setup traps simultaneously was exhilarating.

「I have no idea why but I feel refreshed somehow but there is one that is still not working」

「Eh? There’s no way……」

「Look, it’s over there」

 Looking in the direction Gideon pointed to with his finger, I saw the only remaining inactive Impactless Ball.

「That’s not the one I made」

 There is no magician who can not perceive what he or she created with their own mana.

 Meaning, that is not the ball that I made with my mana.

「Ah, come to think of it, there was a single Impactless Ball Ra-chan made from the pile earlier that has disappeared」

「There was something not quite right about it so I fixed it and buried it in the ground」

「Ah, as expected」

 I actually thought to bury it in the ground as a non-directional bomb, but apparently, Gideon had converged the mana inside and buried it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Although it was magically made by his family member, modifying completed magic is not something that can be done without exceptional skill. 

 He seems to be needlessly arrogant, but he does have a proper skill as a magician.

「Hey, Alfried! I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but don’t you see Ranna’s clothes are covered in dirt!」

 Just as I was feeling impressed with that, Shelka - wearing the uniform of the Magic Academy - came over from the front.

 It looks like she has just returned from the Magic Academy.

 Seeing Ra-chan’s dirty clothes, Shelka comes running to us.

 That route she picked just happened to be the place where Gideon reburied the last Impactless Ball earlier.

「Shelka-sama, please stop for a moment!?」

「There will be no excuses!」

 I tried to make Shelka stop somehow, but her severe siscon condition made her full attention turn toward Ra-chan.

「Gideon-sama, make it explode first!」

 She’s already quite close so there might be some chance to surprise and get some dirt on her, but it should be much better than stepping on it directly and exploding.

 Gideon shook his head - horizontally - at my suggestion.

「No, I have already set it up anyway. And I want to see what happens if someone steps on it」

「Hee?」

「Don’t worry. I have suppressed the power and besides, if anything happens I will take care of it somehow」

 Is it really okay, to let your own little sister step on the magic landmine?

 Looking at Gideon, he got a really innocent smile on his face.

 ……come to think of it, this guy liked doing magic study.

 It seems like his inquisitive mind of knowing what would happen if someone were to step on a magic landmine exceeds his little sister's situation where she will trip and fall due to it.

 Oh well, I wasn’t the one burying that Impactless Ball, and Gideon will take responsibility so I guess it’s fine.

 After I gave up on everything and turned around, I saw Shelka perfectly step on the Impactless Ball from above.

「Kyaa!?」

 A short shriek came out from Shelka’s mouth.

 The magic caused her to lift her leg up into the air and she spun backward twice before she landed and collapsed on her back.

「Ah, it’s pink」

 Seeing Shelka’s skirt get lifted up in a flashy way, Ra-chan let out a comment in a mutter. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
