Chapter 365 – Man and Woman in Need of Mana #1

Ethel cannot be controlled with the copied prayer magic.

But it wasn’t that my copying of the origin magic was meaningless at all.
Rather, it can be said that he learned prayer magic under more favorable conditions than others.

‘Because I’ve got a sense of what it’s like to embody ether.’

Perception is not about an abstract sense.
If you feel very strange when you embody ether, or if you have confidence because you felt that way, wouldn’t it be disqualified as a wizard?

The amount of mana that must be consumed when generating ether.
The type of spell that must be used when implementing and maintaining ether.
A part that needs to be supplemented in the technique of prayer magic itself.
A spell that transforms the form of created ether.
A way to efficiently control ether.
Besides that, there are many ideas related to prayer magic.

These magical inspirations kept popping up in my head.
Even though he simply tried cloning, Wiseman’s brain almost penetrated the structure of the origin magic.

It was because from the past, when it came to things related to magic, my brain was working amazingly well.
There is nothing to be surprised about now.

Learning the theory of origin magic shouldn’t be that difficult.
The problem was the time it took to implement ether directly through trial and error in the actual battle. In other words, if I had enough time, I could definitely become a great wizard.

How long does it take you to learn this?

I asked Lawrence.

“How long did it take for you to learn the prayer magic?”
“It took me 30 years to be able to handle ether directly. It took that much even if I took out the time to organize the theory of origin magic. Reaching the level of an archmage is like climbing a high mountain. It takes a long time. I’m telling you to be prepared.”

30 years!
If it took 30 years to learn all of the invocation magic, it wouldn’t be possible to learn it now! You don’t know when the Master will lead the Wiseman and invade Yoensu, but can’t you just train?

“Thirty years?! Then isn’t it pointless for me to learn prayer magic? I’m going to die in vain without even completing my training?”
“It’s not necessarily meaningless. I don’t expect you to learn all of the prayer magic until the master invades.”

You didn’t expect me to master prayer magic?
Then what are you expecting from me?

“Luke, you only need to be good at embodying ether. Even if you can embody ether, it will be of great help in the battle against the Master. Even if you just make a mass of ether, you can make a great shield. The Master It means that you will block the attack with your prayer magic with your ether.”
“Ah, you mean you can act as a shield?”
“Right.”

Origin magic is magic that implements and controls ether.
It means that I do not necessarily need to learn the control method here, and my goal will be achieved as long as I simply implement the ether.
It was because I was going to use my ether like a barricade to block the master’s prayer magic.

‘Isn’t that enough goal possible?’

I see hope.
Didn’t he almost realize ether even when he used the cloned prayer magic right away?
I was convinced that as long as I learned the magic formula, I would be able to properly implement ether.

‘That means you don’t have to master prayer magic from start to finish.’

It is unlikely that it will take a long time to simply implement ether.
Perhaps it was possible to materialize ether before the Master invaded.

Lawrence had enough heart to teach me.

“Didn’t you almost materialize ether with magical cloning?”
“Yes. The ether, which was implemented with the cloned magic, was quickly annihilated.”
“Still, you must know what it feels like to embody ether. If you learn the spell properly from me, you’ll be able to embody ether before it’s too late. Until the Master invades, I’ll teach you how to embody ether every day.”

Lawrence’s lecture did not end with just one day.
Until the master arrived at Yoensuu with his army, he would receive instruction from him every day. He had to work with the Archmage as a private teacher, so his growth rate had no choice but to be accelerated.

Lawrence handed me a thick magic book.

“This is a magic book that I have organized about prayer magic. I have written down the spells of prayer magic in detail, so please refer to it. If there is something in the book that you do not understand, you can always ask me questions.”

The title of the book is ‘Understanding the Origin Magic’.
It was a book in which Lawrence himself wrote down the spells of prayer magic.
You can think of it as a book that you use as a textbook when giving lectures.

I took care of Lawrence’s spell book.

“It’s a magic book containing the enlightenment of a great wizard. I can’t imagine how much money I can get if I sell this to the Mage Tower.”
“You’re not going to sell the magic book I gave you as a gift…?”
“No. I have to keep it and hand it down to my children from generation to generation. Isn’t the magic book more important than money?”
“It’s fortunate that you’re not the type to reveal money. I’ll give you a full-scale lecture on magic now, so pay attention.”

After that, Lawrence gave me a lecture on prayer magic.

The lecture continued until late at night, but there was no particular complaint.
Rather, he was just happy to be taught by the archmage all day long.

It wasn’t until 10 p.M. That Lawrence’s lecture was over.

“Today’s lesson ends here. Let’s go back to Yoensuu.”
“Thank you for your hard work, boss.”
“You suffered too.”

Lawrence and I flew through the sky back to Joensuu.
In the future, the place where classes are held will be fixed outside the city.
I couldn’t get the citizens of the city involved while demonstrating prayer magic.

*

For a week after that, I practiced frantically under Lawrence’s teachings. They went out of the city early in the morning to learn the spell of prayer magic from Lawrence, and discussed ways to supplement the spell. When I came back in the evening, I put the theory together and went to sleep.

It was that kind of routine over and over again.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is always practicing prayer magic during the time when he opens his eyes.

Of course, it wasn’t always possible to focus on training.

It was the 7th day since I started learning prayer magic.
A welcome guest came to the room of the inn where I was staying.

“Luke, can I go inside?”
“Come in.”

It was Rebecca.
She was Rebecca, who lived in the same inn as me, but she had less time to spend with her these days because of her training.
Not only me, but also Rebecca was busy practicing swordsmanship every day because of the soon-to-be invaded Wiseman.

Opening her door, Rebecca, who came into her room, looked at me and let out her heavy sigh.

“These days, the time I spend with you has been greatly reduced. My heart feels empty.”
“It can’t be helped. You don’t know when the Demon King’s army will invade again.”
“I hope the war ends soon… I want to go back to the time when I was questing with you in the guild.”

I also want the war to end.

Like doing chores in the city with Rebecca.
Like receiving quests and escorting the upper ranks.
Like beating monsters.

There was no time I missed so much the days of a rookie adventurer who just had to eat and live. If you win the war against the Wisemans, you will be able to regain your daily life as an adventurer that you dreamed of.

“Luke, are you training to become an archmage?”
“Yes.”

Rebecca already knew what kind of practice I was doing every day.
It was because every time I ran into her at her inn, she told me about my schedule.
It bothers me to walk out of town without saying anything.

“Is the training going well? I heard that all it takes is to be able to embody the energy of ether?”
“I’m learning the magic formula well. It’s just that it’s still difficult to implement ether in real combat.”
“Are you saying it’s going well or not?”
“To sum it up in one word, it’s still not going well.”
“I see…”

Suddenly, I became curious about Rebecca’s accomplishments as an unmanned soldier.
At this point, isn’t it time for Rebecca to become a first-class soldier and wield her blade?

In fact, these days, Rebecca has been training with Pamela, who is staying at Ninggard’s laboratory. In the first place, the two of them had a relationship of master and disciple. It was only natural that Pamela would give her lessons.

“Rebecca, how are you? You’ve been learning swordsmanship directly from your master lately. Do you think you can use a blade for an aura?”
“If it’s an aura blade, I think I’ll be able to use it right away. It’s a bit lacking, but…”
“What’s lacking?”
“Master said, if I had more mana, I would be able to wield a huge aura blade like Master. Just like Master showed me when he sliced ​​the drakes in the past.”

A giant aura blade?
Come to think of it, when we first met Sword Master Pamela, she had handled a super-sized Aura Blade. She still can’t forget how she wielded an aura blade the size of a building as she sliced ​​up drakes in the meadow.

“If you have mana, you can use a skill similar to that of a sword master?”
“That’s right! That means I can use Master’s yam sword.”

Yam too… !
It was the name of a technology that refers to a super-large Aura Blade.

Rebecca asked me, clenching her fists.

“Luke, do you need mana too?”
“Of course it’s necessary. With more mana, it will be easier to implement ether. One more experience of super-magic charge will satisfy both of us. You also doubled your mana the other day.”
“Yeah, I want to experience the doubling of magic power again like last time.”

When I did 3P with Kate, Rebecca’s hp would have doubled as did mine.
It was not unreasonable for Rebecca, who had experienced that amazing phenomenon, to bring up the story of magical power charging now.

In fact, it was difficult for me to quickly implement ether with a magic coefficient of 6,000.
If the magic coefficient exceeds 10,000, it will surely be possible to realize ether.
However, the question is how to achieve the special magic charge.

Because I’ve experienced all the games I’ve played so far.
We needed a new play.

“Luke. I’ve prepared the idea of ​​recharging mana, right? Anyway, in order to recharge high-quality mana, you need a different play.”
“What is an idea?”
“Don’t be alarmed, listen.”

Rebecca called out to me as she blushed.

“It’s just a 6-stage magic charge!”

6-speed magic charge?!
What is it?
