At the training center, I'm riding on top of the auxiliary magic circle that Tina drew and practicing my magic power manipulation skills.

　Normally, the first step is to feel your own magical power, but perhaps because my profession is that of a sage, I was able to see it from the beginning.

　The amount and movement of my own magic power, as well as that of others, is vaguely visible to me. And it seems that the occupation of a wise man is not only about seeing magic power, but also correcting the manipulation of magic power.

''Like this?''

Yeah! It's wonderful, Hurt-sama. I didn't expect you to be able to transfer magic power all of a sudden.

　The magic power you feel in the center of your body is first spread thinly over your entire body.

　Then, I move it gradually to the hand that is thrust forward.

　The magic power gathers in the hand.

　From here, I would normally release magic power outside my body, but I didn't do that.

　The concentration is broken, and the magic power gathered is dispersed - I manipulated the magic power so that it looks like it was dispersed.

　If I did it too smoothly, Tina might wonder why I was doing it.


'It's because of Tina's magic circle.

　I've decided that it's because of the magic circle.

　It's true that the magic circle makes it somewhat easier to manipulate magic power. But in reality, I knew that I could manipulate magic power without riding the magic circle.

''This magic circle only has the effect of assisting magic power manipulation a little bit. It seems that it is Hurt-sama's talent to be extremely smooth in transferring magic power.

　Tina told me that happily. She seems to think I'm too good at it, but she seems to think it's just a talent.

　Come to think of it, my sister has a talent related to magic, and she was already able to use intermediate magic when she entered the magic school.

　I'm sure Tina knows that, so she's probably not too surprised that I can suddenly control my magic. Thanks to my excellent sister.

''Thanks. I'll try to practice some more.

''Yes, by the way, the magic power that diffuses inside the body returns relatively quickly, but if you release it out of the body, it will take longer to recover that amount of magic.

Yeah,

''If it's Halt-sama, the next step would be to release magic power outside of your body, but be aware that if you do release magic power, you might get tired all at once.

Yes, sir.

As for the method of releasing the magic power, gather the magic power in your hand as you did before, but furthermore, imagine that your hand extends beyond your hand and gather the magic power there.

I understand, Doctor.

　Apparently, it's okay to release magic power, so I decided to try it.

　As with the previous, I first spread the magic power throughout my body. And then gather that magic power into the right hand that is thrust out.

　I direct my consciousness from my hand to the end of my hand.

　The magic power extended from my hand and began to accumulate in space.

''It's good! Imagine a blazing fire, if possible.

"Flames?

　I saw the flames just now. Tina's flame magic with a heat that could make my face hot even though it was nearly five meters away──.

　So it was easy to imagine.

'Oh!'

　The magic power that was fastened to the end of my hand turns into fire.

　It's not as if it's hot even though it's right next to my hand.

　It's a strange feeling.

　In addition, I try to turn the flame into a spear shape like Tina was doing.


'Fire lance!

　Imitating Tina, he threw a spear of fire at the newly prepared target while chanting.

　The spear of fire flew straight at the target, and after it burned up a bit, it disappeared.

　There were only small scorch marks on the target.

''Well, I didn't expect to be able to activate magic in perfect form from the beginning.

　Tina looked at the slightly charred target with a surprised face.

　She thought that maybe she could go so far as to change the nature of her magic to fire, but she didn't think she could fully activate the magic called Firelance.

　I was a little happy that Tina was surprised.

　After all, if I came to another world, ''What, what's this guy, wow! I'd like to be able to say that.

　Well, I guess that's about as far as I can go, even if it took me a lifetime to train because of the curse of fixed status.

"Halt-sama, does your body feel sluggish?

No, I don't feel like it.

''When people use magic for the first time, they usually have too much magic flowing through them, and even a single shot of lower level magic, such as a fire lance, can cause them to run out of magic.

　The fire lance, the lowest level of magic, consumes 2 magic power.

　So I have 10 magic power, I can shoot up to five fire lances, but apparently it's difficult to shoot with a magic power consumption of 2, unless you are able to manipulate your magic power well to some extent.

　Indeed, when I used the fire lance, I felt a sense of power leaving my body, but it was not enough to feel lazy. Is it a compensation for the occupation 'Sage'?

I still have a good shot. Can I practice?

Of course. But please don't be too hard on yourself.

Yes!

　After that, I shot three fire lances and finished my magic training.

　In fact, it looked like I could still shoot it, but after I fired the third shot, Tina looked very anxious and persistently asked me about my physical condition, so I decided not to fire the fifth shot.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

　The next day I was in the training room alone.
　Tina had gone into town to do some shopping.

　When I told her I was going to train alone, she seemed anxious.

'Do you mind? Please don't ever take it easy. If you feel even the slightest bit unwell, please ring this bell.

　The bell that was handed to me said that had a small drawing of a magic circle that I had never seen before.

'What happens when you ring it?'

I'll be there as soon as I can.

You mean they can hear you ringing from a distance?

'Something like that. Please don't take it easy.

　Tina said she'd be back as soon as she'd done her shopping, and then she went off.

'Well, let's see how far you can take it.

　I was going to try to shoot the fire lance to the limit, not paying attention to Tina's eyes. I stopped after four rounds in yesterday's training, but I felt like I could shoot more.

　He headed for the target.

　The magic power is released from his hands and returns to flames.

　The fire is transformed into a spear...

Firelance!

　The spear of fire flies away.

　Just as the spear of flame leaves my hand, I begin to release my next magic power.

''Fire Lance!''

　Second shot.

　I'm still going.

Fire lance!

Firelance!

　I fired two shots in a row.
　No problem at all.

'Fire lance, fire lance, fire lance, fire lance!

　It's funny....
　No matter how much you shoot, your body doesn't get lazy at all.

　On the contrary, the magic power is released smoothly and the timing of releasing the magic gets faster and faster.

　After releasing about thirty rounds of fire lance, I was out of breath, so I stopped releasing magic power once.

　It is the lowest grade magic so the power of one shot is weak, but as expected, the target was charred to black after thirty shots.

　I wonder why. I don't feel like my magic power is decreasing.

　Hmm, can't we somehow check the magic power consumption.......

Ah!

　Then it hit me.

"Status Open.


　status

　State: Curse (fixed status) :fixed


　With the status board out, if I could use magic, I should be able to see the magic power consumed.

　However, there was one thing that bothered me.

　On the status board ...

　The magic power: 10/10 竞衣衣衣衣 was displayed as "fixed".

　Even though he had fired more than thirty rounds of magic earlier, his magic power had not decreased at all.

　At this point, a hypothesis crossed my mind. If the hypothesis is correct, then I might be able to play a role as a real wise man in this world.

　In order to test my hypothesis, I kept my status board out and began to prepare to fire my fire lance.
