Chapter 11 (2/2)
“O’ spirits, conjure a bullet of wind to strike my enemies, Wind Bullet!”
“Don’t repeat it verbatim”
A small ball appears in Triss’ hand Eh, she did it with just that? I just fiddled with it a bit…
“I did it, Tsuchio-dono-dearimasuyo! I did it-dearimasu!”
“Good job, TrissAlright, now do your best to make it shorter”
“Yup-dearimasu!”
Since the noon bell rang, the day’shard the whole time, she wasn’t able to shorten her chant any further
“This sucks-dearimasuyo…”
“Well Triss, you’re taking ic control, aren’t you? Work hard on that part”
“Yeah! You should just concentrate on training body strengthening and stuff!”
“That’s true-deariic-dearimasu ”
“Well, I want to be able to use etting cold, so let’s eat”
Guess I’ll go to the library later, and look up supportThe one I looked at last tio after I feed Ruu
After feeding Lirass, and water I head to the library Its appetite strong today, so it eats a bunch of swords Maybe it likes it? It drinks a bunch of solution too, so its body has gotten bigger
“hello, what kind of book are you looking for today?”
The librarian, upon seeing me, comes to talk to me I like it, this kinda service
“I’ic class today, so I’m a bit interested”
“Is that so Please wait a moment”
The oes to retrieve a book (TLN: Don’t knohy the author decided to specify here) If he had just gone to where it is, I could’ve gotten it h…
“I recos written in it”
Saying so he brings out a book as thick as a dictionary…Geez it’s thick
“There’s that ic?”
“Support ories, you see When you collect it into a book, it becoics are luether and placed in this book as well”
“…What kind of things are classified as ‘support ic’?”
It’s support, so isn’t it so their actions? Like buffs
“Err, things such as raising abilities or assisting actions Then there’s interfering with your ene their attacks, and even curses and things difficult to categorize are luic’”
“Curses!? Wait, those are completely different aren’t they…”
Even if obstructing your opponents are considered safe, are curses different? Well, if I had to say I guess I could think of it as soh
“The subject of h ‘Attack’ and ‘Recovery’ have reat strides in research, the subject of ‘Support’ is not studied very much, you see”
“Why though If you can raise your allies’ abilities, doesn’t it ht?”
“Well, there are the various reasons…The reason for the Attack Magic’s preferential treatment is clear”
“What is it?”
“It’s flashy isn’t it, Attack Magic Coic is plain after all”
…Yeah, he has a point When you hear the word ‘onna do it anyways, you’d want to make it flashy and cool, huh…
“Recovery ic absolutely essential, and so it is researched However, support is to its end support It will never be considered essential”
“True, I see your pointBut, just because it’s plain doesn’t ht…”
“Well, there is another reason The crux of Support Magic is, there are few spells for use in group settingsIn particular, spells for increasing abilities There are also area-of-effect typeput exclusively into researching it”
“Can’t efforts fro area-of-effect attacks be diverted into researching support ic?”
“It is, however it appears it will take tidom wants results as quickly as possible”
“What’s with the hurry?”
“Isn’t it obvious, if it can’t be used for war then it has no use”
Ahh, I see I got it Certainly if you were at war, rather than strengthen your troops, it’d be faster to kill your enemies No y progresses eh
“In that case, do adventurers use support ic?”
“I’ve heard they use it quite often Against several or strong opponents, you live through by strengthening yourself after all Since even the largest party is at most a dozen or so people, to, it isn’t that hard to cast it on everyone Ast theic as well”
“Is that so, s Thank you for this book I’ll try reading it for now”
“No, not at all, this is my work after all Good luck with your studies”
I place the book on the desk and look at its table of contents Relatively speaking, it seehly divided by type of effect Let’s skis that catch our eye
There was a lot to read, so even just by ski only points of interest, I took quite a bit of tiun to slant and tinge slightly orange It’s about time for Ruu to come back, so let’s move to the bestiary
I take a notes on a few ics and return the book before I leave the library
Just as I reached the front of the bestiary, Ruu ca down froht two big fish
“Thanks for the hard work today too You went out to sea today too huh”
“Guru”
“Your scales are sticky with salt y’know I’ll wash you later mkay-”
“Guru~u!”
I bring out Lier, so its dissolving speed is getting faster I want you to get even stronger at this pace I want to inning and I can’t really leave the acade
“Roux, next ti them to Lime”
“Guru? Gururu~u…”
‘Human-like ood prey’, huh Meh, I’ for it for foodstuffs, so there’s no need to worry about that
“So, next ti back huo out of your way to find them”
“Guru”
“Lime too, make sure you properly thank Ruu now”
“…” Purupuru nod nod
Liet closer to their human forms
