26-26. Throw an iron ball!




 After another day, it was time for 'practical skills'.

'Good! Today you're going to try your hand at throwing an iron ball!

 Today, Dr. Desmond stood in front of everyone and said boldly.

"'Iron ball?'

 Everyone nodded their heads when they heard the words released from Desmond.

'You don't know what an iron ball thrower is or you can't help it. It's not common, you know. You'll have to wait a minute.'

 And Desmond held up what looked like a round, black ball in his right hand.

'Hey there, student. Take it.
Yes.........it's so heavy!
Of course it's an iron ball. It's an iron ball.

 I heard it's heavy, but not so heavy that you can't hold it.

 I see.....
 I wonder if throwing the iron ball is what this class is about?

 Sounds interesting.
 In a previous life, there was a competition to hold the tail of a dragon and throw it away, but this will be the basic content of that.

How is that useful to wizards?
'Well I told you that a wizard needs physical strength as well. The headmaster agreed with that idea, and that's why I became a teacher here. Train your body before you do magic! Magic is important, but so is muscle power! If you keep neglecting your strength with all that magic, you're going to get stuck, okay?
'Huh...'
'Of course! You're not allowed to use magic to send an iron ball far away.

 I generally agree with Desmond's words.
 A wizard's magic is important, but without physical strength, it's useless on the battlefield.

 But at the same time I couldn't help but want to interfere.

''Um, do you have a minute?''
It's you. What is it?

 I put my hand up.


'I was just asking you earlier and I was wondering... why do you need to separate magic and physical strength?'


What are you talking about?

 Desmond looked doubtful.

Of course I understand what you're saying. But.........magic and physical strength--that is, physics. Ultimately, combining them should be ideal.

 Well, first of all, let's try throwing without magic and work on the fundamentals... I understand the policy.
 However, Desmond's words seemed to exude the idea that magic and physics should be considered separately.

 Desmond took a turn and looked interested.

'Magic and physics combined? Is such a cloud-grabbing story feasible?
Yes, I can.

 When I said that, and I was thinking about demonstrating it first.


Hey, hey! Don't let your faulty magic power get the better of you. There's no way you can do that!


 They're all over the place.

 Good grief.
 It seems there are guys like Cyril who despise defective magic in the magic academy too.

"I'm telling you this because I can.
'Then go ahead and do it! If you're that confident, you want to play ironball with me?
'Oh, good. If I lose, I'll make an apology or something.
Don't forget that, okay?

 A boy who comes at me like a fighter.
 Didn't they see how I fought my way through the entrance exam?
 And I was just about to do it.

"So, Dr. Desmond. Can you hand me the iron ball for a moment?
Good.

 I receive an iron ball from Desmond.

 Wow it looked okay and heavy, but it was even lighter than I imagined.
 If it was this one, I might adjust the force wrong and send it flying to a strange place.
 I'm in trouble........

'Well...'

 I look behind me and make eye contact with Lara and Marise.

'Lara, Marise. You two should try it too.
What, me?
I'm ... not sure about muscle strength?
Just do it. You two should be able to do it by now.

 As it was, he gave Lara and Marise a goggle-eared whisper.
 I taught them how to use their magic power to send the iron ball farther.

''Hey, hey! If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't be worth a d*mn!
Don't worry. I'll take care of it later. And you're not sure you can beat two women?
Ba, don't be stupid!

 The boys' faces turn red.

'Don't regret it but I'll go first then, okay? Whoa, whoa, whoa!

 The boys immediately took the iron ball with their right hand and set it at their shoulders.
 Then, as if to push it out, the iron ball was released from his hand.

'How was that?'
Well that's ten miters. Not bad.

 The boys sniffed proudly as Desmond measured them with a measuring tape.

"Hello, sir. You've heard of this game, haven't you, Desmond? The first thing I did was throw it differently.
'Hmmm. I don't know.

 The boys replied to Desmond's question.

 I see.
 He didn't affirm it, but he knew about the iron ball throwing thing from the beginning.
 That's why you've been fighting so confidently.

 But you may know how to throw it and all that, but even so, you just threw it with your body power.
 He wouldn't be an enemy of the two of us.

Then.........I'll be next.

 Now Lara has an iron ball.
 It looks heavy. It's because she has such thin arms. That's understandable.

"Lara... "Lara... magic...
'Uh-huh! I forgot!

 Lara forms a magic formula and activates Rise Power.

 .........Mm.
 I was a little worried about teaching the magic formula now and whether it would work in a one-shot production, but it seems that I was able to form it well.
 Although it was a distorted magic formula, it seems to have managed to activate it.

''Yes!''

 And then he threw the iron ball directly at them.....

'Whoa! What do you mean?

 The boys from earlier shouted in surprise.
 The iron ball thrown by Lara had clearly reached twice as far as the boys.

''Twenty miters........you. That's quite impressive.
It was Kurt.

 Lara was jumping up and down happily. Cute.

'So I guess I'm next then.'

 Marise takes a step forward.
 It seems she had activated Rise Power from the beginning.

 The manipulation of magic power is what makes Lara, who trained yesterday, better.
 But the level of perfection of the magic formula is much higher than Lara's.
 It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's taught it for the first time, but it seems that you didn't have a reputation as a genius.
 There are still many areas for improvement, but the direction of the magic formula is not wrong.

''Yeah!''

 With a similar call, Maryse releases an iron ball.

 Piyu.
 As if it were an ordinary ball, the iron ball arced.

''.............................25 Mital? Nonsense. Have you surpassed my record?

 The throbbing around them became even louder at the record Marise had achieved.

''This is physical enhancement........magic?''

 Marise looked surprised herself, and her right hand was clenched and spread in a goopy grip.

'Oh, that's ridiculous...!

 The boys' eyes widened in surprise.

 Well.
 Thanks to Lara and Marise, I think I've gotten the hang of it for the most part.
 Now it's my turn.
