Chapter 247 – Semester 2 (5)

After Iona drinks all of her blood. Before she went back to her dormitory, she decided to stop by a practice room where she was dedicated to professors for a while.

There are private training rooms inside the dormitory, and even if not, there is also a shared training room where students rotate. .

The problem is that all of the student training rooms are geared towards lower level magic.

It was a little weak to blow away intermediate magic.

For that reason, since she became a lieutenant mage, she often borrows her teaching practice room from Iona.

Her doubles and doubles, Karla and Elisha, also use them together.

Iona, who opened the door to her training room, waved her hand and greeted her as if she had no intention of entering.

“Thanks for your effort! Thanks for your effort! I have work to do, so I’ll go first! It’s the second semester and there are a lot of things to prepare!”

“Yes. … Wait a minute Professor! What happened to my exclusive training room I mentioned earlier?”

“That? The chairman gave his consent! It just takes a little while to make!”

“Aha? Then you just have to wait. Thank you professor.”

“No, no. If you’re a lieutenant wizard in your freshman year, they say you’re the greatest genius in the academy’s history! No one objected!”

For some reason, she herself is proud to leave. It was only after she giggled at her back that she looked inside the training room.

An empty space with nothing. However, the story is different if the area is the size of a small playground and the entire facility is covered with anti-friction coating.

“Carla, Elisha. How would you like to order?”

“Please decide as you wish, Master.”

“What… Wouldn’t it be nice to have you first? Be honest. Aren’t you a little excited about trying out the new staff right now?”

“Are you that obvious?”

“It’s not to the point of being obvious, but… If you look carefully, you won’t notice that much. Right, Carla?”

“Huh. Master’s eyes are shining more than usual. Of course you notice.”

Carla and Elisha nodded side by side. He thanked them by stroking their heads and stood in the center of the training room.

I took out a new staff from my inventory. A strange sense of unity that is transmitted as soon as you hold it in your hand.

He smiled softly and pointed forward.

Let’s see… What kind of magic would be good? After all, should we go with the normal one at first?

He opened his mouth, pouring the magic power he drew from his core into the staff.

“The scare that sets everything on fire. Flames of hell. A haunted nightmare. This is your last journey.”

Fire.

Embers rise from the floor of the training room with the sound of something burning. It is unusual to see it rotate in a large circle.

I’ve never used it in real combat, but I’ve practiced a lot, so it’s easy to develop.

Right now it’s at the level of warming up, so there’s no need to do everything. I didn’t use resonance and put in a moderate amount of magic power, and put the next words in my mouth.

“Rise up. Fire filler.”

The mana, which had been carefully arranged starting from the starting word, fluctuated like crazy. Then, in an instant, a pillar of fire erupted from the floor.

Kwaaang!

The momentum is so bloody that even though the fire is just rising, you can hear the sound of an explosion.

Fire filler. It is a typical floor magic with mid-level fire magic.

It has the advantage that it is powerful and can be maintained until the magic power runs out, but it is a magic that cannot move while casting and the first set position is fixed, so it is enough to run away.

It’s similar to Thunder Calling, but a little stronger, and a little more uncomfortable magic.

Since a considerable amount of mana is continuously consumed, there is no magic like this to feel the performance of the staff.

And as expected, the speed at which mana was sucked in was significantly reduced. It’s not accurate, it’s just a feeling, but… Is the efficiency improved by about 1.2 times?

Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal, if you’re overflowing with magic like me, you’ll see a significant difference.

After that, he used various magics to test the performance of the staff.

Resonance and magical power overcharging to produce maximum output, several low-level magic was also cast, and a combination of elements transformed the magic.

I feel better than usual, whether it’s because of the staff or if I’m just in good shape today.

… Wouldn’t it be okay to try it now?

I closed my eyes feeling the moderately emptied core and the perfectly heated circuit, probably because of the wild magic.

A sharpened mind. What is engraved at the end is an image of a phenomenon that cannot exist.

The fire is hard, the rocks are swaying, and lightning is flowing.

Various elements. The basic unit that makes up the world. More precisely, things that are considered that way.

It swirls endlessly within me, mixing and dividing, repeating itself.

Truly chaos. Maybe it was like this before the sky and the earth parted.

From now on, I have to dress and assemble the naked and dismantled idea to my liking.

It submerged his consciousness even deeper.

The reference is the magic of Iris that I saw in the scenario dungeon the other day.

Recalling the scene of the day, I calmly created my own image.

And the moment I realized that what I wanted was clearly imprinted on my image. Then I opened my eyes and looked ahead.

Lifted staff. He opened his mouth as he glared at the empty space beyond.

“Fire. I breathe life into you. This is the birth of one and the end of many. Blooming in the dark Soar from the ashes.”

A small flame burning above the spot I was staring at. However, as the chant continues, it expands its body and becomes larger and larger.

Is the size about my height? Unusually, the fixed flames in the form of a straight sphere were pulsating, regularly scattering flames.

As if he were an egg. As if something was born soon.

The eyes of Carla and Elisha, who had been chatting around at that unusual appearance, turned this way at once.

I put an end to the chant, generously pouring out my remaining magic power.

“Wake up. Fire Phoenix.”

Shit.

A clear solid line was engraved on the sphere of flame, and soon it split into countless branches. And.

Crisp-!

Small pieces of flame that shatter and scatter in all directions. However, the heat was more intense than before.

The center of the training room, where embers are scattered. A bird of prey with its wings wide open was sitting in the place where the round egg had been just a moment ago.

A blazing eye and a body that burns without rest. A gigantic bird, each feather made of flame, stares at us.

As the name of the magic suggests, Carla and Elisha are frightened by the figure reminiscent of a phoenix and run this way.

“Lord, Master! That! That!”

“Phoenix?! You’re the one who made the phoenix! By magic?!”

“Both of you calm down. It can’t be, can it?”

Although phoenixes are very rare, they are real creatures.

However, since there are still few people living in rugged areas like volcanoes, their lifestyle is not well known.

Thanks to you, there are a lot of nonsense rumors… One of them is that, in fact, the phoenix is ​​not a natural creature, but an artificial creature created by someone.

Well, not at all.

“Phoenixes have different abilities, but they are a fantasy species like dragons. They are just born with mysteries, and no one can create them.”

“Then what is that?!”

“A mere counterfeit. I just imitated the form. It has no self-consciousness and can only move when I direct it.”

He shrugged and shook the staff from left to right. Then, the fire bird flaps its wings and moves to the right.

Shake it to the left this time and it will return to its original position.

Other than that, spinning in place, sprinting to the other side of the training room, banging my head against the wall, and bombarding feathers.

Elisha nodded when she showed off her various appearances.

But for some reason, Carla was blinking her ruby-colored eyes in a subtle way.

“Carla? What’s wrong? Is there anything strange?

“Ugh… Master. Did you combine the elements with intermediate magic?”

“Huh. It’s a combination of fire and wind attributes.”

It’s easy to say, but it’s not that simple.

Fire and wind are attributes that have good synergy, but the problem is that if you mix them normally, they become explosive single-shot magic.

For example, it scatters fine embers widely like wind and makes them explode the moment you inhale it.

Or just like making a big, beautiful firestorm.

But this magic is a little different.

Just like an arrow that has left a bow can’t be controlled, it’s normal to let magic fly away once it’s originally fired.

However, the elemental burst that Iris showed me the other day was different.

I used the wind attribute to control magic, not to support fire. Fire Phoenix did it once.

That gorgeous appearance is a combination I haven’t done before, so the combination didn’t work well, so I overlaid the familiar image of the phoenix.

It’s much easier to imagine a flaming bird sweeping around than it is to attack by moving the fire according to my thoughts.

As she nodded her head proudly, Carla continued her words in a very cautious voice.

“Isn’t it too weak to be called a combination of intermediate magic?”

“… Ah.”

“Even if you can’t do it with low-level magic, double it. Some magic even tripled its power, but this… The firepower is similar to or slightly weaker than normal intermediate magic.”

“…”

“Isn’t it inefficient compared to the effort put in…”

Okay. Know. This magic is only meaningful in that it succeeded in combining intermediate magic units, but it is lacking in many areas.

In particular, as I suppressed some of the flames for control, I was well aware that the power was reduced.

But.

“What’s wrong with being inefficient!”

Sparks and heat. Then, he pointed to the Fire Phoenix, which scattered a strong presence around him, and shouted.

“It’s okay because it’s cool!”

Kanji is a major issue.
