　What shall I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If not, what other magic do you think I'll use most often?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Listening to Ai's story, I think about my usual behavior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess the most common one is [Intimidate].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I change my magic power into a needle-like shape and hit the target to stop the target's movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think this could be done by magic if you wanted to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, how to do it is a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a word, "intimidate", I have to adjust the power on the spot when I use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, last year, when I brought orphans back to the poor town in the Orient, I fired many [Pressure] at the same time, though the power of the magic needle was small.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it wouldn't make much sense to make it into a spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be hard to aim, and it would not be indiscriminate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, [Intimidate] is often ineffective depending on the magic power of the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the favelas, there were many people who were poor and had not enough food to eat, so it was effective even if the amount of magic power per shot was small.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if the opponent has a certain amount of magic power, it would be blocked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, no matter how weak [Intimidation] is as a magic, it would be difficult to use it on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, it is not so easy to make the magic of [Intimidate] with enough magic power to be effective even against the opponent who has a lot of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Against a magic-armored soldier like the one we fought in the labyrinth, it took only a moment to stop his movement with [Intimidate].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Against an opponent stronger than a knight, the effect of [Intimidate] can only be expected to be that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, if you know how to use it, it can be a means to lead the battle to your advantage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But compared to me, who can do it silently, magic that must be invoked by chanting a spell every time is too subtle to stop movement for a moment.

"Al-sama!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　What's up, me. You awake?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Master Al's lap is warm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, you can't do that, me. I'm sorry, Mr. Alphonse. I'll get her out of your way right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's okay. It's a little late for that. Is there something you want to tell me, Mee?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I wish I could do that. I think it's great that Al-sama is always practicing what he sees in training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mitya calls out to me, curled up with her head in my lap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how long she has been awake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah tells me to get out of her way right away if I was awake. I tell her it doesn't matter and think about what she said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Mitya woke up in the middle of the conversation and was listening to me talking about what kind of magic I should create in my lap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you talking about the practice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Master Al is amazing. He can always imitate Ai's moves just by watching him. I'm always envious of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm just observing Ai's movements and doing the same thing myself. I don't think it's so much magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But we are always saying how great it is. We say it's like magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, the way we practice watching has changed a lot recently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I was first taught by Ai, I used to observe his movements carefully, and then I would incorporate the movements into my own body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I moved my body as slowly as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was told to do it so slowly and yet so precisely that the movements seemed to stop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But nowadays, I am moving a little faster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But nowadays I am moving a little faster, because I have acquired a sense and technique to move my body precisely without being so slow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no doubt that if I move too fast, my movements become rough, but even when I move my body normally, I am able to reproduce the movements in my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I also think that my observational skills are improving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To Mitya and the others, it's like magic that makes it easy for them to imitate your movements with just one glance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But it's not magic. You can't cast a spell like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, sir. Not necessarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, is that so, aye?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. According to Ars Varka's theory of magical creation, it is important to cause the same effect. However, there are many exceptions in magic. For example, there are some magic techniques that can be used as magic by casting spells, such as the [swordsmanship] used by the sword saint's family or the [horsemanship] created by Bait van Barthe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's what I thought. I remember that if you can use a spell, you can reproduce the movements of a sword saint even if you have never held a sword before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. And I think that practice is a skill that will serve you for a long time to come. The children who have been trained by Mr. Alphonse still have much to learn. If they can use the spell of [practice], the speed at which they learn various skills will be greatly increased, so it will not be a loss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Indeed it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I spend a certain amount of time to create the magic of [practice], the orphans will be able to use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, if the orphans train with [practice] and learn to use swords and bows at a faster rate, it will be worth more than the time I spent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not consume so much magic power, so I think it's possible to aim at the culture of curses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The effect seems to be pretty good for the trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, then, I'll make my new magic [practice] for the time being. Well done, Mee. Let me know if there's any more magic you want me to make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heh heh. Master Al praised me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll take Mitya's advice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I pat her on the head and praise her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, from that day on, while learning from Ai how to use other weapons, I began to work on a new magic spell called 【Practice Watching】.
