Like the previous day, Marcia went to work as a fisherman, and Jin returned to Horai Island.
"Now, let's see if I'm right or not.
The idea came to me last night in my bed at Kainei-tei.

"Pressure wind (blower)."
Jin uses the rudiments of wind magic. This magic is usually used to blow garbage away. A strong wind is generated from his palm, and it stops after about 5 seconds.
"Well, I guess it doesn't have any recoil."

Jin noticed that most of the magic has no recoil. Usually called
However, it does not apply to magic. Jin was trying to analyze the reason for this.
"Well then, Reiko, when I give you a signal, use the pressure wind (blower) and see what happens."

"Yes."
Reiko, the super automata, is programmed to protect her master by using attack magic of all attributes at a level so high that even her master can't use it.
"Three, two, one, now!"

Blower.
Trace.
A strong wind blows from Reiko's hand, and Jin traces the flow of magic at that moment.

"Now the wind!
Wind.

Now, Jin examines the magic power and the workings of magic.
After repeating this three times..,
"I got it! It's just as I thought."

"Father?"
Reiko nodded her head, which was unusual for Jin who was jumping up and down.
"Thank you, Reiko. I finally understand why only the opponent is blown away by the wind magic.

Jin then explained to Reiko.
"For example, the pressure wind (blower) magic, it looks like wind is coming out of your palm, but it is actually gathering air around you and shooting it out.
Jin guesses that the magic is relatively weak and thus consists of this kind of structure.

"There is supposed to be a recoil when it is fired, but the magician does not feel it. That's because the magic to counteract the recoil is activated at the same time.
Is that so?
Yes. Yes, that's right. I have examined the flow of air, the flow of magic power, and the structure of magic.

But," said Jin, taking a breath,
"As a formula, we only need to eliminate the part that cancels the recoil from the pressure wind or strong wind, don't we?"
As far as Jin understands, magic begins with the act of recording the procedure (flow) of activation in the world, followed by the existence of chanting, which is the spirit of speech, and then the activation of mana.

In the case of magic tools, it is magic that records or remembers the procedure (flow) in the <
To make the world newly memorize this procedure (flow) is to create a new magic.
This act of memorizing is not something that everyone can do, and it is the difference between each mage.

Putting this aside, Jin continues his story.
"So, it should be possible to make such a magical tool.
"I understand what you are saying. But what is the use of that last magic tool you mentioned?

Jin smiled mischievously,
"Well, just watch."
Then he brought some light silver from the warehouse and began to make something.

It took some time because it was the first time for Jin to make something, but he eventually finished it.
"It's done!
It was a cylindrical object about 10 cm in diameter and 30 cm long.

"Father, what is this?"
Jin then opened the lid on the top of the cylinder, pushed a very small magi stone into the cylinder, and closed the lid. Then he closed the lid,
"Reiko, hold this tube tightly and be careful not to crush it."

"? Yes."
Then Reiko held the tube as if she was holding it,
"Activate."

Jin activated it. At that moment, the wind blows out from the tube in Reiko's hand, and tries to pull her down with a lot of force.
"Father, what is this?"
"Yes, it's a great success. It's a magical jet propulsion engine.

The engineering nomenclature is relatively decent.
"Hold it, please, until the magic of the Magi Stone runs out."
It had been in motion for about 20 minutes.

"Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought too."
"What do you mean? "Father..."
Reiko asks Jin, who nods his head in agreement.

"Yes, it means that in the Wind magic, the part of the magic that prevents the recoil I mentioned earlier consumes more than half of the magic power," he says.
"Does that mean that if it doesn't prevent recoil, it requires much less magic power?"
Jin nodded his head happily,

"Yes, that's what I mean. Now we are ready to fly and build a high-speed boat.
Jin had a feeling that a jet plane would be built before a propeller-driven plane.
"Oh, it's almost noon. Let's go back to Potrock for now.

As he exited the erosion caves and headed back to Potrock, Jin thought, "Something smells fishy.
"Father! There's a fire!"

Reiko pointed out at the same time. Black smoke was rising from the harbor.
"Isn't that where the dock is?"
Jin had a bad premonition and started to run. Reiko followed him.

"Oh, the dock!
Even from a distance, it's obvious. The source of the fire was Marcia's rented dock. Red flames are peeking out from inside, and smoke is billowing out of the dock, making it look like it's in an uncontrollable state.
"Reiko, can you put it out?"

As soon as Jin said that, seawater rolled up and rushed to the dock. White steam rises, and the fire is quickly extinguished by the large amount of seawater.
"What is that?"
It's a water-storm.

Reinhard.
The magician using the water-storm was Reinhardt, a magi engineer from the Shoro Empire, whom I had met yesterday.
