Vol 1 Chapter 7 (1/2)
“Have you calmed down?”
“Yeah….”
“Are you reflecting on it?”
“I’m sorry, I went a little crazy.”
Lize who was kneeling in front of Kail apologized.
From the moment Lize a.s.saulted Kail it had taken a while to calm her down, the sun had gone down considerably.
“Well the most important thing is that the misunderstanding was solved…. But just what made you so upset?”
She always went berserk when she got too emotional, but this time it was really bad.
Lize opens her mouth and says while wiping her tear-filled eyes with her finger.
“But…but…… Kail can’t do anything without my help, but before I knew it you’re doing things without anyone…… it…. it’s frustrating……”
The more she speaks the smaller her voice becomes.
(Did she used to play coy like this….. No it’s just that I haven’t noticed.)
Kail convinced himself by saying; just act happy, everything will be alright.
Kail who didn’t act like the Kail from yesterday made Lize worry, he probably was the cause of it, but he didn’t think it’d end up like this.
The usual was him being hit in the gut while laughing, but it seems like she’s back to normal.
“I get it already, I’m not mad anymore. Cheer up a little.”
Kail comforts Lize while stroking her head lightly.
Lize blushed slightly from having her head stroked.
“Yeah…. After thinking about it, Kail couldn’t possibly have the guts to follow through when the time comes. I’m really sorry, I only understood it after thinking about it calmly.”
“Youuuu… don’t insult someone you’re apologizing to.”
“What do you mean?”
“No, It’s already ok…. Go home first, I’ll go back after a bit more training. I want to concentrate a little.”
“Alright. I’ll wait while making dinner.”
“Ah….. Also tell the two over there.”
Kail said it while facing the bush where the parent and child, Leila and Seran were hiding.
Lize headed toward the bush, after a while Seran came out and was making a big wave while smiling.
Kail lets out a big sigh while thinking about how smile p.i.s.ses him off. He gathers his motivation to resume his training.
Next was Magic training.
“[Strength] [Haste]!”
Kail casts a speed spell and a strengthening spell on himself.
These are the most basic self-reinforcment spells for a magic swordsman.
When reinforcing the body its natural abilities improve, the feeling of magic flows through the body.
What is this? The effectiveness has increased.”
Unlike before, the magic flowing through my body has slightly improved.
I tried to move my body around but instead of it being less than it was, its become the same as 3 years ago.
“[Enchant Weapon]!”
Next I reinforce my sword through magic that lets you reinforce your weapon by letting magic flow into it.
At first it was at the level where it just s.h.i.+ned a little, but now the entire sword is s.h.i.+ning.
“Hey hey ……”
Being a little lost regarding his own magic, Kail decides to slash at a stone that’s at least two times his size inside the ruins.
When he did, the stone was cut in half without any resistance, as if cutting a piece of b.u.t.ter. Even though it was a practice sword with a dull edge.
“As I thought…. My magic has improved.”
Kail muttered, while looking at the stone he cut confirming his previous feelings.
In order to use the ancient magic that Kail uses, you need to be able to use magic power and have control over your magic.
Magic power can be called the source of magic, while using magic it’ll deplete, the more magic power you have the stronger the force of the magic.
tl note: Just think of ‘Magic Power’ as ‘mana’ – Tensaizz
If you can increase your skill level you’ll be able to lessen the use of magic power, you’ll also be able to increase the activation time of magic.
The force of magic control is the power to understand the logic behind the magic, and being able to form the image of it, in order to use magic you’ll need the necessary chant but if you’re able to conquer that you’ll be able to use magic without a chant.
In the case of attack magic, you’ll be able to widen and adjust the effective range, in reverse you’ll also be able to concentrate it.
Also if you increase the consumption efficiency of magic power, you’ll increase the number of times you’re able to use magic.
While I’m at it, divine and elemental magic spells both use about the same amount magic power, but the force of magic control is different, divine requires the power of belief and elemental requires power over spirits.
Magic power and the control of Magic Force, these two are the most important foundations in order to use magic, because of this you won’t be able to use magic above your own rank.
If you don’t have enough magic power then you “can’t use” that magic, when you aren’t skilled enough in the control of Magic Force then you “haven’t mastered” that magic.
It’s fine when you don’t have enough magic power since it won’t activate, if you aren’t skilled enough at magic control with something like fire magic you’ll end up lighting yourself on fire, or with ice magic you’ll end up as a popsicle which is what happened before.
Magic can also be trained to extend the control force of magic etc. But the magic power is mostly fixed from birth and difficult to increase. In the case of Kail he was a little above average.
TL note: This sentence was a little difficult for me to tl, because honor (main tler from team tensai) forgot it >.> so it may contain some mistakes. Please bear with it q.q
“But right now I’d be able to use the highest cla.s.s of magic.”
In my fights up till now the only moments I used magic against demons were when I knew the weakness of a demon, or when I used self reinforcement magic. I mainly used my sword to fight.
Since it’s better to cut them down with my reinforced self then use magic to attack, but now that my magic power has risen I might be able to use it differently in fights now.
“Though I don’t know the cause….. I’ll just think the ways I can fight have broadened.”
Kail decided to think positively while holding his sword.
“Five…. So it’s impossible with just this.”
Kail lowers his arm.
Even though it was just a light blow, not being able to withstand the magic reinforcement he hurt his muscles a little.
“My magic power may have risen, but my body right now will only get flung around by it. I can only get use to it little by little.”
As expected my weakened body is a giant minus, it can’t keep up with my sword skills and magic.
Anyway my body and magic became unbalanced.
While my body had weakened, my magic power had become stronger, my potential has increased.
If I keep training like this I can get stronger than my previous self, in other words I gained the determination that I can become much stronger than I was three days ago before time traveling.
“Stronger than that time…”
After losing everything in the “Great advance” one year ago I was really desperate.
