Chapter 1108 - おくりもの
────And so, another dozen or so minutes later.
"........................How is it?"
Even though the operation feel was different, it wasn't like the application didn't work at all.
I followed "lightning" faster than "water"... and while being forced into a third training session, "Next is the invisible magic power you're releasing unconsciously," I worked hard while half-angry.
"...Well, it's a passing grade. It's no longer an eyesore."
"Fuuee..."
It seemed my magic valve (・・・) had finally settled down, and the leakage state had improved enough for the violent teacher to nod 'pass.'
I'm exhausted.
Regarding the magic power that is visualized by 'Manifest Illusion', I can see (・・・) it too, so it was easy to grasp the sensation, but the thing I'm apparently releasing unconsciously is naturally invisible.
In fact, I can't even perceive it with 'Sense Perception'. No, I can perceive it, but even if I know it's there, I can't see its movement... and so on.
However, it must have been an essential training item considering the future. If the number of people who master the sense of 'magic arbitrary passive visualization' that Yura mentioned increases, as they said, there was a possibility that I would have shown an unexpected unsightly state────
...Hmm? Oh, wait, I mean,
"Yura, you're one of those people who can see magic power even without (・・) the (・・) sense (・・), right?"
"What's that... well, yes."
From the way they spoke, that sense is probably quite high up. So for now, I'll just leave that as a 'future talk.'
"For reference, how many other people around me can see it?"
"Ah?"
Players who can see like Yura must have seen my magic flood state yesterday────I met quite a few acquaintances and friends yesterday... I thought as I asked.
"Who knows..."
While saying such things and making a face like it was a pain.
"............If it's rank holders, the two runts in the East Camp. In the West, the current top three, Ganju (the old man), and Oz-ji (the geezer). In the South, 'Castle', 'Thread', and 'Staff'. In the North, that guy Lu and the idiot Sayaka."
As you can see, they answered properly; this guy is a dutiful delinquent after all. That aside, calling the Saintess an 'idiot'... I wondered what kind of connection they had while imagining.
"I met half of them yesterday... The reason they didn't say anything was............"
"Tch, they were probably laughing inside."
"Remember this, every single one of you..."
Well, regarding Sayaka-san, I have a feeling she was watching over me warmly, so I'll swallow it while being embarrassed since there was probably no ill will.
The two runts are guilty because they 100% left me alone for fun. Regarding the [Scorching Arm] guy I met with Kagura-san & Sayaka-san, I know 'that's his personality,' so same for him.
And as for [Thread-Weaver] Natsume-chan-senpai, the white kitten, her intention to tease me later is 200% transparent. I'll definitely have to get back at her.
...But wait, besides the others, Natsume-chan-senpai was also one of those who could see? She really is a kitten worthy of the name 'genius.'
And she's putting in that much effort, so it's no wonder she's a rank holder────
Well, in short.
"How kind of [Screen]-sama to give me advice without skipping it..."
"I'll kill you."
What a difficult guy, my friend... when I turned lukewarm eyes toward them, an extreme coldness immediately flew back. Then, Yura let out another long, thin sigh.
Along with it, they shook their head as if 'there's no end to it if I keep up with you,' and said.
"It's been a long detour... but give me that pebble (・・・) from earlier."
"Hmm?"
I hadn't forgotten it, but I thought the topic had already passed. When I took out the [Visitor from Outer Stars (pebble)] from my inventory as told,
"Try pouring magic power into it. It should be easy now."
"O-oh..."
They presented a simple (・・・) order.
'Magic power (MP)' operation is a bit different from the familiar 'Inner (STR)' and 'Outer (AGI)'. If it were me from earlier, I would have shaken my head saying I can't do it, but for the current me, it's easy.
Therefore, here goes. I tried twisting and gathering magic power into the pebble on my palm────
"Zue...!?"
────The moment I did, it exploded (・・).
What increased was simple.
The 'weight' of the small pebble, which I wouldn't even feel if I didn't pay attention, rapidly and suddenly became like a monstrously huge rock.
Then, I followed it with my eyes as I accidentally let out a voice and dropped it.
"............Oh?"
Kotsun (・・・), koron (・・・). The [Visitor from Outer Stars] that fell on the training ground floor rolled while making a light sound, as if it knew nothing of the ultra-weight I had felt.
"........................Eh, what is th"
"Next. Try it with 'lightning'."
"Le... ah, yes, yes."
My question was cut off by the teacher who goes their own way, and I picked up the pebble, putting the question aside.
The weight I felt earlier had already vanished. It had returned to being a light and small pebble that just looked mysterious... I poured attribute magic power using the sense into it.
The result was,
"Oh............ no, yeah."
Bachibachi, my impression of the electrified [Visitor from Outer Stars] was... well, just that. To be honest, the impact was thin compared to the shock from earlier────
"Haru."
"Yes?"
To me, who tilted my head.
"Try throwing that. Lightly (・・・)."
"..................Hahaha?"
Since the teacher said something interesting.
I, who felt an interesting vibe, gripped the pebble on my palm while pouring magic power into it────and as told, I threw it horizontally, lightly.
At that moment.
Literally, at that moment (・・・・).
"────........................Whoa..."
A flash of lightning. The pebble, which flew as if surging through the vast white space of the training ground, reached the outer wall of the room at a speed that I could barely (・・) see (・・) with (・・) my (・・) eyes (・・).
"...Well, apparently it's that kind of thing (・・・・・・)."
Watching that, Yura said one thing.
"Do you like it?"
"..................Ha, haha."
What did I answer?
That's something that doesn't even need to be said.
You might think it's something similar to the [Rampage Light Tourmaline] that became the basis for [Hellgread Ignis], but it's quite a different thing. The origin, process, and result are all different.
