Chapter 47 – Volume 10 – Graveda Academy (2)
“Oh, very pretty.”
I felt it the first time I used magic before, but seeing this magical light shining is so beautiful that it makes me feel strange.
Should I say it’s like starlight embroidering the sky?
There is even a difference in feel, perhaps because the color is subtly different from mine and Rosaria.
“No, huh?”
“What’s the matter?”
As soon as the circle was drawn, the magic circle began to emit faint light as it gently filled the inside of the circle with light.
This part was quite transparent, so it was hard to notice unless you looked closely.
It would be nice to have a little more visibility.
“Wow, the transparency is crazy… This is the first magic circle I’ve tried? Carly, can I really feel free to eat it?”
“What?”
“No, this is far beyond the passing line. I couldn’t even draw a circle like this from the beginning… Was Kali really a magic genius?”
No, no matter how much magic interferes with the movement of the hand, why are you so surprised by just drawing a circle?
I think Rosaria said this was a basic level…
Ah, does it look like that from the point of view that a ‘beginner’ has done this?
Certainly, no matter how much I used to draw, there were other distractions, but if I drew this pretty all at once, then I did well.
And I think I’m the one who used to draw, but from Rosaria’s point of view, isn’t that a newbie who just started this year?
I thought it might be embarrassing.
“Isn’t the light inside the magic circle very weak? The weaker it is, the higher the purity of the magic power transferred to the magic letters and the higher the efficiency. The fact that it’s almost invisible right now means that the circle is well drawn.”
“Ah, then you evaluate this purity, not the shape of a circle?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting.”
And next, Rosaria drew the shape of ⴴ in the sky, and she asked me to draw the same on the magic circle.
It must have been one of the magic letters, but it seemed that drawing it on the magic circle would activate it.
Well, if you feel like this…
“Uh?”
“And now, if you put your hand anywhere in the magic circle and inject magic into it, it will start to activate.”
However, it seems that the color of the magic text part I just drew was subtly different from when I drew the magic circle.
Well, there must be such a difference.
I decided to ask Rosaria later, and first injected magic into the magic circle.
“Ugh!?”
At that moment, because of the tremendous light emitted from the magic circle, I instinctively closed my eyes.
Oh fuck this is crazy.
In my opinion, it was probably a kind of magic that is commonly referred to as ‘light’ in fantasy.
If it’s basic, it should be basic, but I need to tell you this in advance…
“Oh, my eyes hurt…”
“What, why did you know but didn’t avoid it?
“That’s true, but I never thought you’d be this strong. Isn’t this just like me now?”
Come to think of it, you said that magic firepower is different depending on your skill level.
But I’m a real beginner, so my magic firepower is as good as Rosaria?
Did he really have a talent for magic, not swordsmanship?
“First of all, this is the basics of low-level magic. Draw a magic circle, and draw magic letters in it according to the firepower you want.”
“Did I just draw it too big so it got that much light?”
“I thought the green size was average? Couldn’t Carly just be talented?”
Anyway, each person has a different firepower to activate magic, so it is said that this size should be well adjusted to the desired level for each person.
Even this firepower is a part that can grow or degenerate, so you have to adjust the size whenever your specs change so you can get the power you want, so be careful.
So, this is basic low-level magic…
“It sounds so easy, right? Is that all?”
“All that’s left is to memorize all the magic letters?
“Is there an advanced course for low-level magic?”
“It’s just drawing several magic characters on one magic circle.”
Unless you set boundaries with specific magic letters, it is basically said that magic is mixed and activated.
In other words, you can create combination formulas using magic letters.
“Of course, if you go deeper here, you can add pictures that are not related to magic letters. If you draw this part well, even low-level magic can produce performance close to high-level magic. This is also the research that real wizards do, .”
“Is high-level magic very different from low-level magic?”
“Only the magic text is the same, but it’s a way to say that it’s completely different. Even we haven’t found a way to develop it yet, and we’re using only what has been handed down from ancient times.”
Originally, it would have been correct to call it ancient magic, but it was said that it was called that because it has been around since the days when it was impossible to draw a high-performance magic circle with low-level magic.
Anyway, if you don’t get what you want with high-level magic, you have to add a line with low-level magic to induce the desired magic to activate.
It is said that a complicated composition occurs in this part as if painting a picture.
“That’s interesting.”
“Anyway, so what I see as the main is the basics of low-level magic. At most, combining a few letters is enough.”
“Do you need anything else?”
“If you’re already at Kali’s level, there won’t be any meaning to that, right?”
What did you mean
It is said that the evaluation method itself focuses on three things: drawing a magic circle, seeing the implementation of the requested magic, and finally checking the power of the magic.
It’s a situation where you have both the ability to draw magic circles and firepower, so if you can understand what magic to draw, it’s said that you will pass.
I always thought that it would be impossible with swordsmanship, but hearing such a voice makes me feel strange.
“Oh, and there are about 13 characters that are a bit difficult to draw. They never ask in the entrance exam.”
“Not asking 13 sounds like there are more texts than I thought.”
“There are 33 in total. It is said that 20 come out of the test.”
It’s definitely a bit much.
It’s not just about memorizing 20 words, it’s about memorizing frequently used combinations, right?
Studying itself feels like a lot.
“Actually, you just have to memorize it, so it’s not that difficult. I thought I’d rather have a hard time drawing a magic circle…”
It’s magic firepower, but it has a lot of room to suddenly increase later, and the evaluation score is low because the first is the realm of talent.
In the case of the magic circle, it is said that it is evaluated higher because it is an area where all effort and talent are put into a certain level if you really practice.
However, since he drew the magic circle almost perfectly from the beginning, his worries disappeared.
“Whoa, so you’re going to go to the academy with Carly from next year?”
“I thought that from the first day, but I don’t know if I’m betrayed?”
“Ah, isn’t that the level to worry about?
I rather hate that.
I had no desire to enter the school in such a conspicuous way.
At first, it felt like all I wanted was to slowly learn magic.
“But it’s a bit disappointing. I want to learn record magic. Do you learn record magic at the academy?”
“I learned little by little from the second semester. It’s at the level of basic knowledge.”
From the second year onwards, subjects can be selected, so from then on, I think I will dig deeper into what I want to learn.”
It’s really a university-like system.
Well, in terms of entering after becoming an adult, it probably won’t be too different from college.
“Oh, but then you have one spell per magic letter?”
“That’s true, but there are some things that are difficult to activate by themselves. Like magic letters that mean size? Most of these things are attached to something else, allowing you to change size while maintaining firepower.”
For example, the ⴴ used earlier is a character that means day or light, but isn’t it a problem that it was too bright just now?
So, first of all, reduce the size and reduce the firepower.
But then it becomes difficult to light up a large space, right?
“Right.”
“So, if I write the letter meaning big here…”
As the much softer light is scattered around, it becomes a much more comfortable light than a normal electric light.
If you think about it, most of the lights in this world are like this, so it was easier on the eyes than on Earth.
It reminded me of how my eyes didn’t sting even when I looked at the ceiling.
“Because you learn magic, there are some things you understand.”
It feels like things that are far from common scientific common sense are happening without difficulty.
Looking at this part, it doesn’t seem like it would be impossible to create a computer with magic…
All I can do is make it bigger and distribute it even with an expensive machine.
“If you draw a fire character extremely small, and draw a character meaning large extremely large…”
“Oh, it’s warmed up.”
“Isn’t it amazing? Combinations are also combinations, but since the ratio used varies depending on the size, the utilization increases.”
Conversely, if you use a character that means small, you can use it with much more compression than the default value.
Of course, these parts are not known for sure unless you experiment, so I studied in a way that listened to explanations focusing on proven and famous things.
For example, if you use ‘fire’ and ‘water’ together, a lot of steam will come out and burn you, so be careful.
It is dangerous to test carelessly because there is such a part.
“Conversely, I’ll draw two different spells in one magic circle.”
He drew the letter ⍁ between the two magic letters, and drew a line from it as the starting point to split the magic circle.
But because of that, the light that illuminates the magic letters is different from each other?
It seems to be the same color that activates together.
“Does that character mean split?”
“Something like a meaningless character, or a character that means an empty space… There are many theories, but if you use that anyway, you can isolate the magic circle like this.”
And in fact, he nodded as he watched the two magics activate separately and go out separately.
Is this more fun than you think?
