56-56 Special Classes by Dr. Knoll (1/2)

My mind went blank in an instant.

He turned to me and said, ”I'll take care of the rest.

Why would he do that?

No matter how I think about it, such a being is beyond my control.

No, ......, when you think about it, today's events were strange from the start.

Why did the doctor bring me here in the first place?

Did the teacher bring me here with the intention of doing this from the beginning?

Did he mean me, not himself, when he said it would be good training?

──── Yes .

Why didn't I realize that it was that simple?

There's no need for you to become any stronger than you already are.

He must have seen through my heart from the beginning.

He must have seen right through me from the start, that I was relying on his strength, that I was spoiled.

...... In fact, I was.

As long as I had you, I knew I could go to Mithra and be safe no matter what dangers awaited me.

I'm sure you can protect me in any situation.

Because that's what I truly believed.

But I guess the doctor wanted to say that's not good enough.

You can't just rely on others to ...... keep you weak.

In the eyes of the teacher, it may have looked like I was giving up on being strong myself.

...... That's why he brought me here.

I understand. ............ I'll do something about it.

I don't know how I'm going to beat that monster.

I don't know how I'm going to beat that monster, but maybe he's giving me a clue as to what I need to do here and now.

Lean in (・・・・) and watch (・・・・・・・・・)...

That's what the doctor said at first.

In other words, he just demonstrated it to me.

This is how you can become stronger (・・・・・・・・・・), he said.

He showed me what he thought was a path.

And then he entrusted me, an inexperienced person, with an important scene.

I believed that I could do it.

In other words, you want me to do ...... that (...).

He said I could do what he had just done.

The teacher's face has been full of relief since a while ago.

He doesn't seem to have the slightest idea that I will fail.

I don't know why, but he has unshakable faith in me.

Well then... so do I.

I have to live up to his expectations.

But that was just too ────

──── No, no .

私は恐怖に縮みそうになる自分の思考を追い出した.

やるんだ.

自分が今ここでできる最大限を先生に示すためには、意識をしっかりと保つ必要がある.

「では────行きます」

何をどうすればいいのかは、はっきりとはわからない.

でも、考えながらでも行動を起こす.

でなければ、先生は私のことを認めてくださらないだろう.

私は大きく息を吸い込むと極限まで意識を集中させ、私の思い描く手順に沿って詠唱の準備に取り掛かった.

まず掌に【魔力障壁(マジックバリア)】を多重生成────そこに【物理反射(リフレクト)】【熱反射(ヒートリフレクト)】【魔力反射(マジックリフレクト)】をコーティングし、加えて魔法出力を限界を超えて高める為の【魔力強化(エンハンス)】【魔力増幅(チャージ)】【魔力爆発(バースト)】を可能な限り重ね掛けし、【魔力凝縮(コンデンス)】で手のひらに私の持つ全魔力を凝縮させる.

同時に【多重詠唱(マルチキャスト)】を行使.

魔法の発動準備を整える.

私の限界詠唱数は、片手でそれぞれ三つづつ.

両手で併せて『六重詠唱』.

今の私の実力では、そこまでしかできない.

でも、先生は、その先を期待している.

そう、ノール先生は.

ここから遥かに上のことをしたんだ.

「────【滅閃極炎(ヘルフレア)】」

私は慎重に魔力を同調させながら、両手に一つづつ、二つの【滅閃極炎(ヘルフレア)】を発動した.

そしてその二つの極限の熱源を、翳(かざ)した両の掌からゆっくりと両手の中央へと移動させていく.

────もし、ここで失敗すれば暴発で致命傷は免れない.

額から汗が流れる程の緊張を憶えながらも、必死で心を落ち着かせ、全神経を手のひらに集中することで魔力を緻密に制御し、ゆっくりと中心へと動かす.

時間が経つのがひどく遅く感じる.
