He and Noelia had come to the suburban forest where they had been practicing their magic yesterday.

　In front of us were several large holes created by yesterday's failure, and smoke was still smoldering at the bottom.


　When you exercise magic on such a scale, it's called large-scale magic.

　I have to be able to properly control the power by myself to prevent that from happening.


　I was itching to try out the correction method Noelia had told me about before I came here.


'As I said along the way, Master Flick, it seems to me that the best way to correct your distortion of your perception of size is to think of a contrastive object.

'Although, I've lived by the sword my whole life. I still don't think the standard for staff length that Noelia suggested is right for you.


　Noelia told me that when activating magic, I should imagine it based on the length of the staff to determine its size.

　By the way, the fire arrow (fire arrow) is said to be the equivalent of a short staff used by a sorcerer.

　I've been told that if you think of that length immediately, the power will not be out of line and will be activated with the default power.


　I was looking at the short cane that Noelia handed me as a backup, and I kept an eye on the length of it.


'That being said, it was written that way in the ...... instruction manual. Besides, the short cane reduces the consumption of magic power, so it's essential for sorcerers. I forgot yesterday due to Flick-sama's bizarre use of magic, but it's usually activated using a wand.

'Really?　You didn't have to use it to trigger it, though.

''That was triggered because Flick-sama has an extraordinary amount of magical power. I can also activate it without a wand up to intermediate level, but it's impossible for me to launch a series of high-level, large-scale magic. For a start, use that wand and try to imagine its size based on its length.


　Even a sorcerer as good as Noelia couldn't exercise the advanced level without a staff?

　Even though I wasn't aware of it, when I think about what I did again, it seems that I'm a monster class magician.


Hm, let's give it a try. "'Become a hot-burning arrow and pierce my enemy' fire arrow.


　When you point your short cane at the targeted tree, it activates magic.


　One short cane, one short cane, and so on.

　I'm sure it was about this long: .......


　In order to control the power of the magic to be activated, I imagined a fire arrow (Fire Arrow) with the length of the short staff I saw earlier.


　Shugow!


　Wrong again: ......!

　I think I'm a lot smaller than yesterday, though.


　Noelia, who was watching next to me, was crouched on the ground, trying to get past the wind to withstand the impact of the landing.


'Sorry, it's smaller than yesterday--'

I know, but...


　The wind generated by the fire arrow (Fire Arrow) that was shot out, landing on the target tree, blew wildly through.


''It's still very powerful: ......

'Yes. Can't you fix the length of the ...... short cane? ......

'Yeah, if the short cane is the blade of a sword, even I can imagine it perfectly, since the length of the blade has to do with the spacing: ......


　Noelia pulled my hand, which was troubling me with her short cane.


'What did you just say?'

'What?　So I thought, if this short cane is the length of the blade, even I, a swordsman, can perfectly imagine the length. For a swordsman, the blade is an extension of his arm, and he remembers the exact length of the sword he uses.

'You can imagine a perfect length for a sword blade, can't you?

'Yeah, because otherwise the sword blade wouldn't hit the opponent. That's only natural.

It was a blind spot. Speaking of which, Flick-sama is a swordsman. It should be easier to adjust the power if you use that as a reference object. If you use the length of the blade as a standard for size, you might be able to correct the power.


　Noelia pointed to the cheap sword I was using and suggested that I try to activate magic based on it.


　Then it's easy to imagine how big it is.

　Let's try it that way.


'Okay. Let's do it.


　I drew the sword from my waist and began to chant a spell.


"'Become a hot, burning arrow to pierce my enemy' (Fire Arrow).


　I think the one Noelia shot out was about a sword and a half.

　I can imagine this one right away.


　If I converted it to a sword blade conversion, I could instantly imagine the size of it.

　Then, I pointed the sword in my hand at the target tree.


　Spang!


　The fire arrows (Fire Arrows) shot out of the tip of the sword were the same shape and size as Noelia had shot out, piercing the target tree and burning it.


'So, done!　Noelia, it's done. This is a fire arrow, right?

Yes, it's a beautifully controlled fire arrow. It seems that Flick-sama is better based on the length of the sword blade, after all.


　Noelia was also happy to see the tree that had been hit and was in flames with a satisfied look on her face.

　I was also relieved that I was able to activate a decent magic safely.
