51-Episode 17: I think it's easy to remember



 Anyway, class has begun.

 .........Hmm.
 I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find the right one.

 Magic letters are the most basic of basics.
 The combination of these letters makes a word, and the combination of words makes a jutsu, so it's only natural that a wizard should already have it perfectly in his or her head.

 But the explanation that followed convinced me.

'Many of you may not have a firm grasp of magic letters and grammar. It's a good thing that you're able to use magic even if you don't know it, because thanks to your skills, you can use magic even if you don't know it. But to be able to use more advanced magic, you'll need a deeper understanding of these things.

 Come to think of it, that's right.
 It was different from me, who had to create a magic formula from scratch.

 Well, but it's not very difficult.
 You just have to learn it.

Of course it's not easy to learn. Of course it's not easy to remember, after all, there are more than a hundred magic letters in total.

 
 I think I learned almost everything on my first day, I think.

 I looked around lightly.
 Most of the students were staring at the magic letters written on the blackboard with a difficult look on their faces.
 The same goes for Kite, who sits next to me.

''Ugh, I have to remember so many of them...''

 No, it's just magic letters.
 There are over a thousand words that can be created by combining magic letters.

 By the way, the magic letters, words and grammar are different for each type of magic.
 So you can't use red magic magic letters in blue magic.

 And as a matter of fact, red magic was relatively easy to use the magic formula.

 The hardest one is the black magic.
 After all, there are three types of magic letters.
 The difficulty of this magic formula may be one of the reasons why black magic is not popular.



 The blue magic class was similar.
 We started out with the rudimentary magic letters.

 Red magic was an ideographic character where each letter had a meaning, but blue magic is a phonetic character.
 Therefore, the number of magic letters was small, but the number of words made from that combination was far greater than red magic.

''Hey, are you really going to seriously attend the six academies? Honestly, I think it's a lot to ask for just one thing...

 And it's Kufa who worries me.

''Well, I can at least show him the notes but...''
Thank God.

 It's going to be a while, though, and I don't think I'll need it, because it's going to continue to be what we've studied for a while.



 The green magic class was with Colette.

''Whew.......I can't remember this much.......''

 She was struggling to learn the magic letters too.

 The red and blue academy didn't have anything noteworthy in terms of practical skills classes, but the green academy had a slightly more interesting class for me.
 It was a class on flight magic.

 The three main employment opportunities for green wizards are farmers, sailors, and the transportation industry.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for in a new product.

 It is ideal for transporting letters and light goods, as it is much faster and safer than traveling on the ground.
 Even if you don't do that kind of work, being able to fly would be useful in many ways.

 I was a complete novice when it came to flying magic.
 I don't even know how to set up a magic formula.
 I don't know if you thought I didn't need it, but Dad, you never taught me.

 No, okay, Dad, I guess I'm afraid of heights so... well, I couldn't teach you because I can't use it myself.

'First, imagine your body being lifted up by an updraft. If you spread your arms out wide on either side, like the wings of a bird, I think you'll be able to visualize it better.

 And the instructor instructs us that this is for skillful people.
 This is because if you have the skills, you will naturally draw the necessary techniques in your brain through a strong image of the phenomenon you want to cause.

 In fact, there are a number of students whose bodies have floated in the air just by doing so.

"Wow........that's amazing.......I really can fly......I mean, what the heck?

 Colette lost her balance in the air and fell, falling and falling on her buttocks to the ground.

 Perhaps because the way she was doing so was hilarious, she could hear laughter from the surroundings.
 Colette blushed with embarrassment.
 But despite her failures, she'll get better at it if she keeps practicing.

 On the other hand, I'm not as good as them.
 I don't have any skills, and I don't have any magic formula when I imagine it.

"Hmm. The upswing. In that case, I'll have to make the formula like this....No, I need to make it a little weaker or it'll blow up. .........is this how it should be?

 I set up my own magic formula and activated it.

'Okay, this--!

 Immediately after my body floated up, there must have been a misalignment with my center of gravity, the updraft turned into a force for rotation, and I was upside down at a terrific rate.
 I hit the ground from my head.

''I see. That's a mistake.''

 Thanks to the blessing, it doesn't hurt at all, but I'll reflect on it while I'm upside down.
 It looks like it would be better to not only create an airflow upward, but also to create an airflow that goes inward from all sides at the same time in a way that supports the body to keep it firmly balanced.

''Hahahaha! What the hell was that? You want to see it? I mean, that ass-cracker was terrible, but I've never seen a guy make a mistake like that before!

 There was a loud laugh.
 While putting my body back together, I turned my gaze in the direction of the voice.

 A small boy was holding his belly laughing.

It's a good thing I'm not the only one. It's the first time I've ever done this, but they all suck so badly at it. Okay, I'll show you how it's done.

 The boy said and used his flying magic, even though no one asked him to do so.

 The small body jumped up into the sky and then swam smoothly through the air.
 And even decided to do a somersault.

 Hmm. I'm pretty good at this, considering how confident I am.

 After flying through the air for a moment, the boy came down with a triumphant look on his face.

How do you like it? No one can beat me in flight magic. I'm going to win the race!

 ...race?
