238 236. New magical power.txt (1/2)

I bought it. It's been a long time since I've been shopping. ...... But if you've come this far, I'd like to complete the Allied magic stones. It's a shame that there are some holes in it.

'Should we go around to smaller stores as well ......?　In search of rare magic stones.

After coming out of the big store in Valt, Titi and I were in the middle of walking around the city, looking at the list of magic stones we had obtained.

''Don't you want to look for a little more?　Just a few houses.

I'll do it. Well, that's a start.

There's still time left to hit the magic enhancement.

Putting all my strength into 《Dimension》, I search for a shop that seems to have a bargain. Along the way, I found a magic shop I've seen before. It's a magic shop that Maria and I visited in the past.

It's like a hole-in-the-wall used bookstore in the corner of town, not too big or too small.

'Titi, I found a nice place. It's a good place I've been to at least once. Let's go there.

La La!

We walked over to the store and entered without hesitation.

And then we hear the voice of an elf-eared sister from sometime ago.

'Welcome!'

The same greeting as before, the same used bookstore inside as before. I slowly walk to the counter, feeling a little nostalgic.

''Hmm, I've seen this ...... somewhere?''

The shopkeeper seemed to be feeling the same nostalgia.

He looked at my face, groaned, trying to dredge up the memory, and after a few seconds, he spoke up.

'Oh, the rich guy from that time?　Wow, it's been about a year since I've been here?

'You remember it well. Sure, I was here once before.

She didn't call me by the name of 'Aika Wakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker', she called me 'The Rich Man'. My former companion, Maria, only called me 'Master', so she didn't seem to know anything about my identity here.

'I try to remember my customers' faces as much as I can. It's the basis of the customer's business.

Sure, that's the basics.

I approached the receptionist, having a good impression of the clerk who shared my thoughts.

'Huh?　You're not here today, young lady?

...... I'm sorry, but I'm not here today.

Oh, I see.

I remember that this clerk liked Maria better than me. He didn't hide it, but regretted that he didn't have Maria to accompany him.

When I come back to join Maria on the mainland, I'll give her a look here at least once. It's a bit of a prank, but I want to show her that Maria is much stronger than she was before.

'So how much will you buy me today?'

The clerk deftly takes out a thick catalog from under the counter, just like before.

''There's a magic stone I'm looking for. I'll take a look at it.

I take it, look for something I didn't get today, and immediately order it.

The shopkeeper who received that order makes an unusual face.

”--Heh, you want a rare magic stone. Let's see, there's one that's just in the store. I'll go get it right away.

Are you sure?　Give us two each if you can.

Okay, okay. I'll bring what I have. Please wait a minute.

I asked the shopkeeper for something I couldn't find easily, and I was a little disappointed to find out that I could get it. It was so smooth that even the usually noisy Titi didn't have time to interrupt me.

We're left with nothing to do while the clerk gets the magic stone from the back of the store.

And just as Titi was stopping her unreserved attempt to raid the store's bookshelves, a new visitor entered the store.

'--Ha. Emily, how many times have I broken a target in this? I'm the one who apologizes, so you should cut me some slack.

Sorry, Al: ”Sorry, Al: ......

It was the explorer's boy and girl.

A face we had seen only recently. The boy who came in was also surprised to see our faces.

”Eh, senpai?

There is only one person who calls me a senior.

Just a few days ago, it was Al and Emily, the searchers who were on their way to the surface from underground.

Hmmm, so it's Al and Emily. What a coincidence!

Titi, who had been rummaging through the bookshelves without permission, flew a lighthearted greeting.

Then the other side hurriedly and politely bowed their heads.

''It's good to see you again. I've just used the money I received before to enhance my magic ....... Emily broke the doll in the garden .......

At the same time as the greeting, the clerk comes out from the back of the store. She's as nimble and fast working as ever.

'The two of you are regulars! Unlike your brother, they come back again and again. That's why I make sure they can use the magic practice area in the garden whenever they want. The target dolls are destined to break, so don't worry so much about it, you two!

It sounds like a story about a practice range I was allowed to use when Maria and I were here before.

'Oh, that was for the regulars, wasn't it?

''Your rich brother also bought some magic stones today, so you can use them.

Then he points to the shop yard.

Titty spots a doll outside in the shop window and is about to jump out of the shop window with a twinkle in her eye.

'Mm, just in time!　Well, I'll take the liberty of using it.　Let's go, Kanamin!

Wait a minute, Titty!　Oh, here's the money.

Immediately I exchange the money for the magic stone and follow its back.

I open the door of the shop and walk out into the garden.

There were not only us and Al-kun and the others in the garden, but also two more parties that seemed to be explorers. When we first arrived, it was just me and Maria, but in the past year, the shop seems to be thriving more than before.

And I notice that the two sets of explorers are strangely young in age.

Even Al and his friends thought they were young, but there was one child who was smaller than that. But it wasn't so much that they were at a lower level.

It's a good sight to see the lower age stratification of this Confederacy and the overall level of the population.

Perhaps, but it's all due to Id.

I frown, but Titi, who can't compare because she doesn't know the situation a year ago, doesn't care, and after announcing in the middle of the garden, ”Let's get the children mixed up too!”, she heads to the garden dolls and starts to try her magic.

'YUKE!　The child has a new magic, the wind crocus.

Titi's magic power expanded and one small wind flower bloomed in front of her.

I was a little worried that Titi might be too much with the vast magical power of the ”Stealing the Reason of the Wind”, but Titi's ability to control magic was godlike even with the new magic.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of the magic that I got from the magic stone and try it out one after the other as if it was the magic I was using from the beginning, without causing any trouble to the people around me.

In the background, I also begin to prepare for the new magic.

I think you can leave Titi alone. Maybe I should try a few myself.

Al-kun and Emily-chan were following further behind me.

They are probably thinking that watching our magic might help them in their future search for the labyrinth. As usual, they are still enthralled with us as seniors for nothing.

A little far away, the two of them are also glancing at us while testing their own magic.

Since I just gave up hiding my identity just now, I'll go ahead and build my magic without reservation.

Today, I found four dimensional magic stones. Let's try them first.

''-- Magic [Lug].

With the materials I received from the other magic shop in hand, I activated my magic.

At the same time, a mirage-like haze arose in front of me.

According to the explanation of the material, it says that it delays and activates a specific phenomenon.

In the case of my 'display'--.

[Rag]

MP1 consumption

The foundation of dimensional magic. Delays the time of all phenomena according to the power of the sorcerer.

--and it is.

It's an effect I've heard of somewhere.

To put it bluntly, it's similar to the self-timed time-activation--magic ”Dimensional Snow” that I was doing with the Form.

With a nod of my head, I swallow the magic stone I just bought and then try the next magic.

''Hmm, next. --Magic 《Shift》.

The landscape in front of me shifted as if the painting had been cut and shifted.

Apparently, it's like magic that creates a line that shifts certain things.

'Hmmm?　Next. --Magic, Time Shift.

This one was a magic that seemed to manipulate the surgeon's sense of time, and the world seemed to move a little slower.

''Hey, could this be ......?''

Even if it wasn't possible, all of them were already very similar to the magic I had.

Although I wouldn't say they are exactly the same, Shift is similar to Di Flamberge, and Time Shift is similar to Dimension Decisive Computation (Gradient).

''I feel like I'm losing something ....... The number of magic stones in dimensional magic is extremely low, so the only thing left to swallow is the magic stone ”default”. No, I can use this already, but just in case... 《Default》

Naturally, the same effect as the 《Default》 I was using appears.

I moved half a foot in front of him and sighed as I lamented the unfortunate state of dimensional magic in the Confederation.

''The manual says that 《Default》 is the highest level of dimensional magic. In other words, the dimensional magic that can be obtained with magic stones in the United Kingdom is up to ......?

I had heard that the dimensional attributes were minor and didn't even appear in the academy's classes, but I didn't expect them to have been studied to this extent.

''Haha, it can't be helped. Let's stop here for dimensional magic and try out the other attributes as well. Maybe we won't be able to use them, but it might be different from before. Let's go all at once--[Light]! Dark!　Shock!　Blood!　Flame!　Heat!　Water!　Ice!　WIND!　Earth!　Wood!　Cure Fool!　Growth!

Recalling the magic stone I just swallowed, I shouted from the basic magic that seemed easy to activate in order.

Naturally, none of the magic can be activated.

The magic power of my body only swells, and nothing comes out of the palm of my hand that I held up.

However, that didn't mean that it was completely impossible to build. Strictly speaking, I know how to construct magic thanks to drinking the magic stone, but I can't complete it well because the attributes of the magic power I'm using don't match.

And among those failed magic groups, there was one that had a different response.

...... Hmm?　Once more-- freezing magic, ice.

A small icicle fell from the palm of my hand.

It was a nostalgic scene.

As I recall, it was like this when I used the Ice for the first time in the labyrinth when I was level 1.

Only the Freeze Magic wasn't hopeless, unlike the others. Depending on how I do it, I feel like I can handle it the same way as before.

Soon I will be repeating the test shots of the Ice.

For a while, I was able to create all kinds of ice-work, but because Yangtaki's magic stone is missing, I can only create small, distorted ice.

However, as I mass-produced a wide variety of failed ice-work in the garden training area, I gradually understood why I couldn't use magic other than the dimensional attribute.

Perhaps it's because the ice-cold magical power is required for the ice-cold magic ”ice”, but I can only produce a strange magical power that can be called the ”misaligned magical power” of the dimensional attribute. This is the reason why the two types of magic stones in the body are able to produce cold magic power even if they are out of alignment, which is why they are able to use both freeze and dimensional magic.

It's a rough idea, but it's not wrong in the grand scheme of things.

Then what is the solution I should do?

First of all, I'm going to focus on the 'blood'. I don't rely on the self-styled, image-reliant self-reliance, I rely on the magic formula carved into it. That's the first step in building magic. And--

The dimensions of the gladiatorial operation.

I use the object of my familiar magic to focus on 'me'. Now I can understand myself better.

''-- 《Distance Mute》''

Next, like a doctor in surgery, he inserts his arm into his own chest and makes a 'connection' to his magic stone (tamashii) that is coming out of his magic power.

''-- 《Shift》''

Next, he displaces all the ”magic power” that overflows from his magical stone (・・・・・・).

The ”misaligned magic power” of the two-dimensional attribute is further displaced, and is converted into magic power of a completely different attribute. What I'm imagining is the 'cold magic' I used to use.

...... Okay, will this work?　--Ice Arrow!

I perform extremely forceful magic generation - but the magic construction is extremely textbook - and try to activate the freezing magic.

As a result, something I dreamed of in the past is shot from my held palm.

With a sound as if it was released from a bow, ice composed of magic power flies across the practice yard.

It's not the unseen block of ice from earlier.

The ice in the shape of an arrow was released like magic in an RPG game. The icy arrow pierced the torso of the wooden puppet that matched the front, and after a few beats, it turned into vapor and disappeared.

'Oh, oh ....... It's done .......

It's not a dream.

The doll, pierced by an arrow, is there in reality.

This was the moment when I was finally able to use a game like magic. It's an emotional experience unlike any other magic.

It's done, but it's too much magic to spend.

The documentation and ”Instructions” say that Ice Arrow consumes 3 MP.

But now I used Dimension Decisive Operation, Distance Mute and Shift to activate it, so it consumed more than 10 times that amount of magic.
