7 CHAPTER V -- Let's use creative magic.




 
 A week after I left the imperial capital, I finally arrived home.

 And now I'm alone in my room trying to use my creation magic.

 Anyway, I want to know if it's really incompetent magic.
 In the appraisal, it said I could build the object I imagined with creative magic.

 So I imagined a ping-pong ball, which is light and easy to make.
 Then a flashing hand began to glow.

 Then, after a while, the light subsided.
 There was a ball there that was distorted in shape: ....
 It was a failure.

 And as soon as the light subsided, I felt dizzy.
 I looked at my status card.

 Seriously, you've spent a thousand magical powers for this one!
 It's really incompetent magic that you can't even build something this simple and requires so much magic power: .....
 No one will think to use it if it's like this.

 What should I do: .....
 Oh, by the way, you said something like if you have the materials in your creation magic appraisal results, you can expand the range of things you can create: ....
 Alright, now let's use some materials to create magic!

 So I looked for something to use as material.
 What I found was a branch from the garden!
 I think this is the best material for the material.
 Because they are trash to begin with and you don't have to think about what happens when they fail.

 So I'm going to try to create some chopsticks out of branches!
 As I held the branch and became aware of the chopsticks, I felt the magic power leave my body.

 The branch began to glow and as you looked at it, its shape began to change. When the light subsided, the chopsticks were ready to be used.

 It was even weirder, but it worked!

 So you can create magic with magic and materials.
 Now I'm going to make a fork out of a metal cup.
 I found a metal cup nearby and used it.

 As soon as I thought the cup glowed, it disappeared and the cup became distorted.

 Then, I suddenly felt nauseous .

 I hurriedly looked at my status card .

 This is bad!
 Let's just lie in bed and wait for the nausea to go away.
 I jumped into bed and fell asleep.

<Three days later.
 I finally understand the law.
 First, you can't use creation magic yet without the ingredients.
 Secondly, creation magic requires an insane amount of magic.
 And the harder or larger the material, the more magic is needed to make it work.

 Also, maybe because you used it for three days straight, your level of creative magic is at 2.

<Creative magic level 2.


 Magic that allows you to use your magic to create something you've imagined
 The higher the level, the more you can build.
 The more materials you have, the more you can build.
 Lv.2...you can build simple objects and the magic power required is halved when you have the materials.

 At level 2, you can make a ping-pong ball with magic alone.
 Now you can make small objects with metal materials.
 Now I'm a little less incompetent.

 Another week later.

 Creation magic is now level 3!
 Then I was able to do something amazing.

.
 A spell that allows you to use magic to create things you've imagined.
 The higher the level, the more you can build.
 The more materials you have, the more you can build.
 Lv.3... if it's not too big, you can make almost anything without materials, and you can make simple magic items with magical stones and materials.

 This magic item looks awesome, but how much magic power does it take to build it?

 By the way, my magic is now.

 The one who has memories of another world.
 The Magician (new)

 What a huge amount of magic power I gained in just 10 days!

 Apparently, the more magic power you use, the more it increases.
 So I used my magic until I threw up every day, and my magic grew tremendously.
 And a wizard became a magician.

.
 You can get it when your magic exceeds 5,000.
 Your magic needs are reduced by 10%.

 Oh, thank goodness for the 10% reduction in magic you need!
 One creation spell uses a huge amount of magic, so 10% is not very foolproof.

 Alright, maybe we can create a magic item with this.
 If we decide to do that, first we need to find out what a magic stone is!

 It's been a long time since I've been to Sebastian's!

What is a magic stone?
 Sebastian nods his head when I suddenly ask him a question.

"Yes, what's that about? How do I get it?
 When I said that, he understood what I wanted to know.

Well, you'll have to wait a minute.
 Then he said it and went away.

 A few minutes later, Sebastian came back with a bag of something.

 Sebastian pulled out a gray glass-like rock from the bag and showed me.
This is the cheapest magic stone. You can get it as soon as you kill the monster. This stone doesn't contain any magic, so it's easy to get it. You'll learn to train your magic by pouring magic power into it when you start attending school. Also, if you put a lot of magic in the magic stone, the magician will buy it at a high price so the students of the magic school will use it to earn some money.

Huh, so this is a magical stone.
 As I said this, I took a magic stone and poured my magic power into it.
 Then the gray magical stone began to shine beautifully.

''What? Leo-sama can control magic already? You are very good, sir.
 Sebastian was very surprised to see me pouring the magic into the stone without thinking about it.

 Come to think of it, when I poured the magic into the stone, I used magic control to move the magic power around.
 This magic manipulation practice is now being put to good use in many ways.
 It's really good that you've been working so hard. .... 

That's not true...

No, no, that's really great. More confidence. And here's a little something for you to use as you see fit.
 Then he handed me a bag of about 10 magic stones.

''Huh? Can I get one?

'Yes, this isn't worth that much, so don't worry about it.

Well, thank you. I'll take good care of it.



No, no, don't hesitate to count on me in the future.

 When I returned to my room, I immediately took out the magic stone I poured my magic power into.
 After hearing what Sebastian said, I wanted to pour my magic power to the limit.
 Since artisans buy magic stones from the best students at the school of magic to make tools, I wonder if I'll be able to pour all my energy into it...

(Only, Leo didn't know...
 I didn't know that I was no different than the head of a magic school if I only had the amount of magic power anymore.
 (And people who are doing it to sell don't pour all their energy into one to make up the numbers.

 Then I poured out all my magic power.
 The light from the magical stone grew stronger and thicker.

 A few minutes later.
 Finally, I was able to pour all my magic into it.
 Recently, I've been using creation magic to the limit every day so I guess I've gotten used to it and didn't get spell drunk.

 When I looked at the magical stone, the glow was even more intense than before.

 Okay, what shall I make with it?
 But I don't have any magic, so I'm going to sleep.

 Your magic recovers faster when you sleep.
 Roughly twice as fast as I'm awake.

<About three hours later.
 Finally, my magic power recovery is complete.
 It seems like about 1% of the population recovers in a minute or two when they're asleep.

 Now let's see what I can make...
 I'm going to try to build something that will increase my status.
 Something to stimulate growth.

 But no rings or necklaces or anything else that stands out, because it would make people suspicious of where I got them from.
 If I try to make something with great content, I'll fail, so I'll keep it modest.

 After much thought, I decided to make a misanga that increases your magic growth.
 It's inconspicuous and doesn't directly make you stronger, so it should work.

 I'll use my dad's expensive handkerchief.
 I grabbed this one from the hallway and took it.
 Don't worry. I'm sure they won't find it. ....

 Placing a shiny magic stone on top of the handkerchief, I imagined a misanga.
 Then they began to glow, then they became one, then they began to change shape.

 Then they started to shape up, and after a while, we had a beautiful, shiny mi casa.

 Well, did you succeed?
 I'll need an appraisal to confirm.

.
 All status growth values are doubled.
 Creator: Leons Forster

 What?

 That's crazy!
 Can I make something as dangerous as this?

 How is it possible to fail, but still be able to produce something better than what you imagined?

 What do you mean "everything"?
 I'm already looking forward to leveling up: ....

 That day's dinner
Have you guys seen my handkerchief?

No, what kind of handkerchief, by the way?

"A fine handkerchief made of silk from the cocoons of a rare silk worm.

Don't drop those things!

Oh, I'm sorry. You haven't seen Leo, have you?

Uh-huh.

'I know, right?'

 That handkerchief turned out to be a great one.
 And I'm sorry, Dad: ....
