Episode 24 – Strengthening Magic

The magic match between Shayla and Seaweed, a boy who adores her, was settled.

It was me who won. The last blow, a fire magic, is delivered to his abdomen at zero distance, and he falls unconscious in a frenzy.

Thanks to the fact that my defensive magic arrived halfway in time, Seaweed’s body was not that damaged. This is also the result of my own restraint.

Even I could have killed Seaweed in a defenseless state with magic. For example, I could have aimed at his neck, heart, or head instead of his abdomen.

But I would never do that. Duke Salvatore family..iIf the other person was Camrln, they might have killed him, but Seaweed is the son of a nobleman from another family. Besides, this is an academy.

I didn’t want the teacher or other students to notice my troublesome imitations.

I stood over Seaweed, who was drooling and dripping urine from the lower half of his body. A lot of tears were flowing from his eyes.

It was just like he was spraying bodily fluids from every hole in his body. Did he really think I was going to kill him?　

To be honest, I don’t see any benefit in killing this guy. It would be more trouble to kill him.

“Luca !”

The match is over, and Shayla, who was playing the role of referee, rushes to my side.

She grabs my arm first. I feel a slight pain.

“Hey, hey, don’t grab my arm so suddenly. I’m hurt right there.”

“That’s terrible…why did you receive the orc’s magic in your flesh? There should have been more you could have done.”

Shayla is referring to the burns inflicted by Seaweed’s flame magic.

Particularly bad was the flaming arrow that took the charge while defending on the way.

In fact, most of them were not prevented. I went into it believing in my defensive abilities–my physical abilities.

As a result, my arm was burned beyond belief. It hurt even to move it.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as the match is over, I can use my prayer. As you can see—“

She concentrated her prayer on the injured part of my arm. The divine power easily healed the burns.

“Hmmm. But it is still dangerous. Even the last blow was burning. You are clearly having fun there.”

“Oops. The corners of my mouth were involuntarily turned up.”

I quickly pressed the corners of my mouth.

My bad habits remain the same. Ever since I was reincarnated in this world, my fear of pain has diminished.

Even when Sister Norn cut off my arm, I was only thinking about how I could kill Sister Norn, rather than worrying about whether my arm would grow back.

Should I look out for myself a little? No, getting stronger is more important than that.

At the very least, I have enough sense of danger to survive.

“It’s crazy. Luca is crazy. I still want to dissect your head and see what’s inside.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me. Why don’t you cut open your own head….or even Seaweed’s head lying there? I’ll help you.”

If the main character is Shayla, it’s not my fault if I crack open Seaweed’s brain, is it?

“No, I’m not interested. Orc is ordinary.”

“I knew you’d say that.”

If I were Shayla, I would have said the same thing. In that respect, Shayla and I may be as close as we can get.

“For now, let’s get back to magic training. Let’s reflect on the match from earlier.”

“Hmm, okay. First of all, what Luca lacks are–“

Leaving Seaweed lying there with the whites of his eyes peeling off, Shayla and I started chatting while using magic.

Thanks to Shayla teaching me magic, I grew a lot in just one day.

☆

Apart from the event of being challenged to a game by Seaweed, my training in magic was going very well.

This was thanks to the full cooperation of Shayla, who is a genius.

Without her, it might have taken me at least half a year to be able to use magic to a certain degree.

After all, magic is a power that cannot be learned in the Duke of Salvatore’s house. We have a library and are making very good progress.

Of course, I taught Shayla some of the knowledge I had acquired. The stronger Shayla gets, the more valuable a rival she becomes.

During the course of the course, I was chased around by Cornelia, I was almost sexually attacked, and Shayla and Cornelia had a big fight that ended in them almost killing each other, but–after two months of learning magic–I have reached a level where I can use it in real combat. I’ve reached a level where I’m good enough to use it in a real fight.

“……Okay.”

I erase the three types of magic floating in my palm. Shayla, who was watching this, let out an exasperated voice.

”You can already use three attributes at the same time?”

What Shayla meant was parallel activation of magic.

Originally, only one magic could be used at a time. The more magic you have, the more difficult it is to control and manipulate.

However, I continued training in magic manipulation to the point of vomiting blood, and achieved a parallel activation that is quite close to a tour de force.

Now, it is still similar to the flaming arrow that Seaweed showed me before, but it is on a different level from that one.

Or should I say, the ingenuity is different.

“Oh. Was Shayla two attributes?”

“Yes. It’s still hard to get three attributes. Luca passed me in just two months……”

“I’m a genius.”

Seriously. I’m glad I met Luca. My insight has expanded tremendously.”

“Shayla helped me learn magic early on, too. I can even apply it now.”

It was time to do that experiment I had been thinking about for a while.

I was in a corner of the training ground, and when I was sure no one else was around, I created a small flame in my palm. A small flame the size of a baseball.

“Hm? What are you doing, Luca?”

“Watch. I’m about to blow your mind.”

“?”

Shayla tilted her head in deep wonder.

Ignoring her, I mix the aura into the sphere of flame in my palm.

Aura is a power that strengthens all things. It can enhance not only physical abilities, but also the five senses and even the strength of objects.

If that is the case, then other abilities should be able to be enhanced by aura. Theoretically, nothing is impossible with aura.

This is the best experiment I have wanted to try since I was a child. I could never have done this training unless I had mastered prayer to some extent.

Why is prayer necessary?　It’s obvious.

Even activating magic at the same time is difficult enough to crack your head open, so what happens when you use two abilities at the same time and even mix them together……

The answer is,

“Guuh !?”

The explosion proved it.

Flames the size of a baseball mix with the aura and increase in potency. On the other hand, it became frighteningly difficult to control.

I could control it for only a few seconds. Maybe it lasted ten seconds.

But either way, my magic was gone. In an enhanced state.

“Luca !?”

My palm burst off. It was already blown off in a big way.

My right hand was messed up. It barely retained its original shape, but Shayla turned blue when she saw the overflowing blood. She was in a state of mild panic.

I, on the other hand, couldn’t hold my loose cheeks as I stared at my wounds.

Unintentionally, elation left my mouth.

“Haha…..hahaha ! I did it. I could do it after all ! Strengthening magic. Compound magic, whatever.”

Certainly ! It surpassed the original. I could create a technology that didn’t exist originally.

I can’t stop laughing. I rejoice greatly while concentrating my prayers in my right hand.

Shayla, who was standing next to me, was stunned when she saw me like that.
