I have plenty of strength and MP left. I draw my sword and invite Rastiara to join me.
''Right! Come on, let's work out! This is another royal heroic tale!
Rustyala also responded by drawing his sword.
Thus, the special training by the two pale men began.
◆◆◆◆◆ ...
It's not the time to dress up and say you're bad at magic. Swords and such are already outdated. After all, sword-fighting heroic tales were just a fairy tale. ......!
Rastiara clenched her fists and tears streamed down her face as she spoke forcefully.
''Ah, it's magic after all. If you think about it, even in my world's games, relying on dungeon miscellaneous enemies and overall magic was the most efficient. Single-attack and all that is seriously nonsense.
The magic ......! We can use range magic there too: ......!
Yeah, let's get to work on that! Rustyala!
We clap our palms together, confirming our intentions.
'So, what kind of training are you going to do? I don't really have a plan.
'Hmm. For now, I think it's important to learn some new magic.
This is the only way to rapidly become stronger.
If you have an idea, basic magic can become dozens of times more powerful, like my compound magic 'Winter in the Dimension (Di Winter)' and Maria and the others' resonance magic 'Flame Protection Method Shield (Aegis)'.
''But I don't have room to learn new magic, so I guess applied magic will be my main focus.
Or me and Rustyala can learn some resonant magic.
Oh, yeah. Do you want to try it?
But Rastiara can't do dimensional magic, you know.
''Dimensional magic is too minor, and it doesn't even register in my blood. There's a lot of ice-cold magic out there, though: .......
'On the other hand, I'm not much of an ice-cold magician. I only have 'Freeze' and 'Ice'.
Both of them are keen on resonance magic, but there isn't much magic to match.
'Really, the magic Kanami can use is very sharp: ......
'You couldn't master it, so I don't blame you. ......
Once, I drank the magic stone of the freezing magic ”Little Snow” but nothing changed. Perhaps the only magic I can increase is dimensional magic.
''So, do you want to try different things?''
In the meantime, let's combine some simple freezing magic. It wouldn't be a bad idea to start out by imitating Maria and her friends.
He started with the ice-cold magic ”Ice” and ”Freeze” and developed a variety of magic. They tried to mix with each other's magic, but they only succeeded in imitating the precedent of Flame Guardian Flame (Aegis).
After all, magic relies a lot on image. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can get a new job.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
”-- 'Dimensional Winter' and 'Dimensional Snow' magic.
”Resonant magic, 'Ice Protectorate Ice.'
”Resonant magic, 'Ice Protectorate Ice.'
An icy ward is stretched across the deck, and 'Dimensional Snow' (Dee Snow) dances on the deck.
And the icy arrows fired by Rastiara pierce the sky, guided by the path of my refined snow.
The imitation is a success.
However, the accuracy and power are too low. I tried to target a moving object, but I couldn't even drop a single flying bird.
...... It's no good. We're missing something fundamental.
'Kanami is inferior to Maria in the accuracy of magic manipulation, and I am inferior to Dia in the power of magic ....... Hmmm, it doesn't work. ......
There was no point in adding the consumption magic power to increase their numbers.
Even if he could hit a bird, it wasn't something that would work against monsters from the 30th layer of the labyrinth and beyond.
''It can't be helped. First, let's aim to be able to manipulate our own magic power more finely.''
'It sounds like I should rethink my magic construction too ....... It's not as convergent as Dear, so it's not as powerful .......
We continue to grunt and groan as we knead our own magic.
I could clearly see the difference in the same magic we used. As we practice our magic, we figure out how to solve it.
We build a magical snowman together to play with our hands, have a snowball fight, and continue to worry about it as we get our bodies covered in snow.
After playing as much as they can, with their cheeks upturned and white breaths exhaled, Rustyala's face lights up.
''Ah.''
What did you have in mind?
'No, I just remembered. It's a rule we use when wizards duel with each other, ......, and this is how we make our positions ......--
Rustyala uses her feet to draw a line on the ground of snow that has been piled up from too much practice of freezing magic.
''- We're going to enter this line and shoot magic at each other. If you use anything but magic, you lose. If you move, you lose.
Wow, that sounds interesting. It's good training for us.
I imitate and draw the line.
I go in and we look at each other.
”Let's try something light, shall we? -- ”The Ice Arrow!
Dimensional Winter.
Deploying Magic Winter, shifting Lastiara's magic construction (...) and fogging it up.
''Mmm, you're still fond of 'magic offsetting' (counter-magic).'''
''It's bad that your magic construction is lax. How can I not aim for 'magic offset' (counter magic) with these rules?
'So, you mean, if it's well constructed, it won't be 'magic offset' (counter-magic)?'
'Yeah, you can't do it if there are no gaps. You should try to keep that in mind.
I see.
While advising each other, we built up our magic one after another.
Since we were of equal magical ability, the battle was unexpectedly protracted.
I have a higher amount of magic power than you. However, a wide variety of magic and experience is written in Rastiara's blood.
I'm going to use that experience to solidify my magic construction, sometimes changing hands or products to try to slip through the 'magic offset' (counter magic).
As I thought, Rastiara's battle sense is extraordinary.
In this short amount of time, he fundamentally overturns his own magic construction. He goes beyond chantlessness to the shortening of his magic construction. You can't be too careful, because he also uses a small technique of changing the magic generation point from hands to feet and hiding the source of the magic well.
Rastiara deploys magic of other attributes simultaneously in all directions.
It's difficult to dissipate the magic at first sight with ”Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)”. In addition, Las Tiara is gradually getting used to being 'magic offset (counter-magic)' and the gap in magic construction is decreasing.
It must be said that he is outnumbered.
My advantages don't work at all in a magic competition with my feet stopped.
I'm going to have to switch to a tactical approach that makes use of my magic power.
''-- 'Midgall's Freeze'!
We've been waiting for you, ”Ice Battling Rum”!
However, that big swing was aimed at.
The moment to stop 'Magic Offsetting (Counter Magic)' is reckoned with, and Rastiara also moves into a big move.
Rastiara's giant ice hammer destroys the giant ice snake I refined into pieces.
The Ice Battling Ram then drove me out of my position with its momentum.
The wizard's duel was won by Rustyala.
''Oh no. ....... It's quite interesting. It's quite logical and I like it.''
He approaches Rustyala, brushing the ice from his body.
Showing off a peace sign, Rustyala speaks with a serious expression on his face, despite his pose.
'It's good practice. If you create even the slightest opening, Kanami will cancel (counter) it, so it was very easy to understand. It also made me realize how messy and useless my magic construction had been up until now.
I also learned a lot from repeating 'counter-magic' and seeing a lot of different magic.
There's a big difference between offsetting (counter) once and not having done so.
I'm sure you'll be canceling (countering) a lot of enemy magic in the future. Before that, it might be a good idea to prep with Lastiara's magic.
We felt a certain refreshing feeling in our empty MPs.
''Phew. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever made an effort to be strong.''
'Me too. I had dimensional magic from the beginning, and because of the leveling up, I didn't have to train for it.
''I've been a master of sword fighting and body arts and all magic from the start. There's no way I'm going to make an effort.
We laugh at each other, wiping the slightest drips of sweat.
'It's a fresh sensation: ......
It's a feeling I've never experienced since I came to another world.
'Yeah, it feels good to sweat it out.
Thanks to Dia and Maria. I didn't expect us to be in a hurry because we weren't strong enough.
'Nice, youthful. It's an adventure story!
To see the results of my training, I check my status.

Both Rastiara and I had mastered one new skill at a time. However, the numbers are still low. It would be like we had a clue.
My cheeks were smiling as I confirmed our solid progress.
Rastiara must be seeing an increase in her skills as well. She smiles happily like a girl who has been given new clothes as a gift.
Naturally, I control my emotions. I'll try not to make her the only one special.
And with my usual response, I give Rustyala a high-five.
Rustyala, still in good spirits, asks me, ”Hey, Kanami.
''Hey, Kanami. Is there anything else I should be training for?
I guess I've never gotten anything out of my own efforts before.
He rubs up against me in an excited manner. I want him to stop because it makes it hard for him to control his emotions.
'Right, and then we can go to .......
As a result of thinking in ”Parallel Thinking”, I took out the ”Treasured Sword of the Aleiss Family, Rowen” from ”Possessions”.
