I ran out of things to look up in the reference room, and I was at the training school on the seventh day.

"Majo-sama? Am I going to be together with Majo-sama today?"
"I"ll be meditating for a bit at the side, so just do what you usually do."
"I got it!"

Tet was the same as usual and repeatedly fought mock battles against the adventurers who challenged her.
Because her mock battles every day were against people who used different kinds of weapons, she began to learn how to deal with each weapon slowly.

Meanwhile, I sat at the edge of the square and fumbled around practicing [Body Strengthening].

"Perceive the mana within the body…… ha, I can do it. Perceive this."

In order to get accustomed to using magic, I needed to be able to feel mana.
Usually, I used the required mana from the lump of mana in me, but this time, I would be observing the movement of the mana as a whole.

"Ah, I just noticed now, but mana is being released from my body."

It can be said that it"s a loss of mana.

There is a bit of mana being naturally released, slightly less than the amount being recovered.

"Hmm, a magician"s meditation is to stop the mana naturally being released from the body and speed up recovery."

While reading the transcriptions of the [Body Strengthening] guidance textbook, I manipulated the mana within my body.
Unexpectedly, there was a knack to stopping the natural discharge of mana inside the body.
However, maybe due to the [Parallel Thought] skill I acquired in my time reading the reference room was effective, I was able to keep the mana in my body.

"So this is meditation. Also, maintaining this meditation state and movement is called [Mana Isolation]."

It"s a technique that stops the mana from releasing outside of the body, isolates it, and hides your presence.
It seems like this technique is for taking the initiative against monsters that can sense your mana.

"But, this is surprisingly tiring."

I grasped the trick to meditation, but if I had to say how many hours I could continue, it might be necessary to get used to it.

"Well then, next is finally body strengthening."

Now that meditation is figured out, the mana amount I have, that would"ve been released, has slowly increased.
Also, I sensed the consumption of the mana inside my body and picked up a nearby stone.

"Body strengthening is…… Yeah, I think it"s a success."

I smashed the pebble I picked up with the pinching power of my fingertips.

"This is the basic body strengthening, and my strength increases when I gather mana to a specific portion."

For example, if you gathered mana to your arm, the blow from a sword would be heavier, or if you put your mana in your foot, your steps would become faster.
If you wrapped it around your entire body, you could increase the defensive power against both physical and magical attacks.
Normal adventurers frequently fight, and it seems like they unconsciously use the mana in their body in their offense and defense.

I stopped the body strengthening that was emitting through my entire body temporarily, gathered my mana to my eyes, and gazed at the mock match between Tet and the adventurers.

"Uwa, Tet"s amazing.

By gathering the mana to my eyes, I was able to see others" mana with my [Mana Perception].
Looking at Tet with magic perception, her current state was emitting mana from her whole body and she was maintaining her body strengthening.

"I see. I figured out the secret behind Tet"s strength. But that"s why it was necessary to replenish mana every day."

The adventurers that were facing Tet were overwhelmingly inferior in their amount of mana.
However, they were strengthening various places of their body unconsciously with their mana as little it may be and pierced through Tet"s body strengthening with their weapons that had mana placed on it.

"I don"t know anything about fighting at the front, but it"s interesting seeing just the offense and defense of their mana."

Tet"s entire body was covered in some sort of mana armor so it was hard to comprehend, but between fellow adventurers, they would gather mana at the spot being attacked and defend.

Generally, if you gather lots of mana, you can defend against the attack.
On the other hand, if they mana gathered is too little, the attack would destroy your defense, so even if you defended, the attack would be transmitted as damage to your body.

"However, the amount of mana isn"t absolute. The existence of physique and physical strength comes into play."

Even if you defend yourself properly with lots of mana, if a person with a good physique attacked, even if the attacker used very little mana, there had been many incidences of the defender"s defence breaking..

"It feels like the basic body strength times the body strengthening effect I think? If that"s the case, it"s advantageous for people with good physique."

However, paradoxically speaking, as long as you have an overwhelming amount of mana, you could even overthrow the disadvantage of physique.

"My mana—-unh…… I can"t release any more than this."

I"ve been eating a Seed of Magic every day, so as a result of it gradually increasing, my maximum mana has surpa.s.sed 2800.
I tried releasing it all at once to strengthen my body, but I only release a fixed amount and not all at once.

"I wonder if there"s a limit to body strengthening? Or is this the limit of the amount released and magical density."

For a brief time, when I was releasing all my mana, maybe because they noticed me releasing my mana, several adventurers put their guard up against me.

"Oi, there was a bad feeling coming from that Nee-chan over there just now. What on earth is she?"
"It"s Tet-chan"s master, Chise-chan. I felt something amazing for a moment, but what was it?"
"It"s similar to something a high-ranking demon would emit. Is there a kid who could do something like that at that age?"
"Even Tet-chan"s strength is C cla.s.s right. Chise-chan may seem like she"s basking in the sun, but isn"t she practicing magic like a magician?"

And so on the rumors went. I think I noticed people checking me out.
It couldn"t be helped so I continued meditating here, and thought about going outside the town tomorrow under the pretext of receiving a request. I closed my eyes for a little while and meditated, and made an effort to recover the mana that was lost when I tried to release all my mana.
