I reread the『First Magic』book in order to learn magic.
“Magic is gathering of magical power within your body and releasing magical power while imagining a certain phenomenon.”
（U~n, as I thought『Light』should be first…… it’s so dark it’s difficult to read, using the『Night Vision』would be fine too, but I want to look like a magician)
I decided to try the『Light』attribute magic.
「U~mm, …… Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」
――Shiin
(…… Nothing happened…… was it a failure? I collected the magical power, but……)
Nothing happened, so I looked at the book again.
“…… gathering magical power while imagining the phenomenon……”
(Ah…… an imagination, huh…… speaking of light, it’s a fluorescent light, right…… yosh!)
「Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」
This time, I tried it while properly imagining the light. And then……
――Pika!!
A strong light lit up the room.
「Kyaa!? …… My eyes~! My eyees~!」
――Gorogoro, gorogoro
I started rolling around the floor in order to suppress the light.
A few minutes later――
(Haa~ that startled me~ …… I thought I got blind…… was a fluorescent light too strong, I wonder…… let’s try lowering the brightness next time~……)
「Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」
――Pou
It appears I succeeded.
「Yatta~! I did it!」
I was delighted that the Light has succeeded, but there was something I was really curious about.
That is the chant.
(It’s good that the magic came out, but…… as I thought, the chant is…… somewhat embarra.s.sing, and the book said “the phenomenon happens with imagination,” I just have to be only conscious of the skills as well, there’s no need for a chant, is there? Is it possible that there no need for a chant with a proper imagination…… or something? Let’s give it a try)
I made a hypothesis and decided to try it.
(Fuu~…… Light~ light~ come out~)
「Light」
――Pou
I was able to make the light appear as hypothesized.
(As I thought! Yo~sh, I will learn lots just like this~)
A few hours later――
「Haa~ haa~…… somehow, really exhausted…… haa~」
I gasp for air, feeling like I would collapse at any moment.
「Why…… s, status……」
――Buu~n
HP 5／15
MP 1／1000
(Ah…… I have done it……)
――Batan!
I collapsed while checking my status.
Another few hours later――
――Pachi
I finally woke up.
(Huhh? When did I fall asleep? I was practicing magic and…… ah! I have collapsed because I didn’t check my HP and MP because I was absorbed in practicing…… this is why Akari-chan calms me a clutz, huh……)
「Status」
HP 11／15
MP 540／1000
「I’m glad…… it’s recovering」
Though I was a bit depressed, I decided to pull myself together and check the magic I have learned.
「U~mm, magic is……」
《Magic》
『Life Magic』:「Fire」「Water」「Clean」
『Fire Magic』:「Fire Bullet」「Fire Arrow」「Fire Lance」「Fire Wall」
『Water Magic』:「Water Bullet」「Water Arrow」「Water Lance」「Water Wall」
『Wind Magic』:「Wind Bullet」「Wind Blade」「Gust」
『Earth Magic』:「Stone Bullet」「Earth Wall」「Mud Marsh」「Cave-in」
『Lightning Magic』:「Discharge」「Lightning Arrow」「Lightning Spear」
『Light Magic』:「Light」「Flash」「Recovery」「Purification」「Barrier」「Sanctuary」
『Darkness Magic』:「Fog of Darkness」「Stealth」
『s.p.a.ce-time Magic』:「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」「Transfer」
The above are magic I learned, by the way「Cave-in」「Mud Marsh」「Stealth」「Spatial Barrier」are original I thought up.
I imagined a pitfall for the「Cave-in」. It seems usable when escaping.
I created「Mud Marsh」while thinking whether it wouldn’t be possible to prevent movement with it.
I thought of「Stealth」when thinking of concealment. This also looks usable when escaping.
I thought of「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」before practicing offensive magic. It’s not like I can destroy the room, and when thinking someone may come when hearing the sounds, I tried making a barrier that will cancel out the sounds and impacts from within, and also return everything that was broken into the original state.
I collapsed before learning any other magic, so I decided to check the MP consumption.
『Life Magic』… MP 1
『Bullet System』… MP 2
『Arrow System』… MP 3
『Lance System』… MP 4
『Wall System』… MP 5
「Wind Blade」… MP 3
「Gust」… MP3
「Mud Marsh」… MP 5
「Cave-in」… MP 5
「Discharge」… MP 2
「Light」… MP 1
「Flash」… MP 3
「Recovery」… MP 10
「Purification」… MP 15
「Barrier」… MP 20
「Sanctuary」… MP 50
「Fog of Darkness」… MP 3
「Stealth」… MP 5
「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」… MP 50
「Transfer」… MP 30
(Yosh, I have to remember the MP consumption and practice while checking the status)
When I tried to practice magic again,
――Kotsun――kotsun
――Kasha――kasha
I heard footsteps approaching.
