Beginning with disqualification, the Growing Magic Guide Road! - Spell Development Sometimes War Jou

Month × Day

"--Oh, no, no. I was obsessed and I was late."

Arkes seemed to be in a panic and rushed out the main gate of the Mage Guild.

It's already around Xiao Hsiao.

I was immersed in research and development at the workshop, and when I noticed it, the sun was setting.

There is also a magic court lecture the next day. I sealed my luggage and greeted the remaining staff before returning home.

It was a long day of experimentation. Since we're one step closer to completing the device, not only our health but also our magic power is consumed more intensely than usual. I want to go home early, eat rice, wipe my body, and soak in bed.

Walking towards the mansion while looking forward to dinner, I suddenly saw several figures in the street right next to the site.

Who the hell are you in a place like this? Don't wander around the Mage Guild, an absolute rule known to residents of the King's City. There are exceptions such as officials, craftsmen, and students of the magic court, but it is not permissible to be a child without permission. They say that if you get caught in a crawl, you'll get a cruel butt-knock punishment. In the first place, there are gates and fences outside the site, so it's not a place to go in.

Of course, Arks is a student of the Magic Court and is treated as an official, so the guards and patrols are familiar.

I crouched in the shadows and watched the suspicious people.

From what I've seen, it's not a patrol. All the faces were lined up, and Arkes hadn't heard of the recent replenishment of personnel.

I should probably go and report this right away.

Thinking so, I tried to get up on the spot.

"-Hey."

Behind her was a low voice that seemed like it belonged to a man.

You can feel the disturbance from the voice and the signs.

No. I was distracted before, and I didn't realize we were getting close.

Slowly turn around as you stand up.

"Boy, that's not good. Didn't your parents tell you you shouldn't be around the Mage Guild?"

Can you say that to me?

"We're on patrol to make sure no one like you leaves."

"Let me out. I know patrols and guards alike." Besides, I'm a student at the Magic Court. "

The Mage Guild and the Magic Court were close together, but they were on the same property.

Therefore, a person wearing a uniform cannot be blamed for the horizontal and vertical passage.

You heard us talking, people rushing in.

Fast. We were surrounded before we could leave.

Look around at the people. Most of them hid their faces with cloths and scarves, but only one of them exposed his face without cowardice.

A man with an equally irresistible face to defeat the guild leader. Chin-strap-style beard on the corner of the face. He looks as vicious as the face of the undercover society.

The man rubbed his chin with his hand, narrowed his eyes, and opened his mouth.

Oh, is it a child?

Yeah. It looks like you've been watching us for a while.

”Hmmm... I haven't been educated to snoop around in the shadows”

When Arkes looked around at the people around him, a man with a sad face shut up.

…………

What's the matter?

Even if one of the companions calls out, the man does not try to answer why, but looks at it as if he is going to test us, and he looks at something.

Eventually, you've settled some of your own problems.

"... ok. Now that you've seen it, let's make you a living sacrifice."

"Sacrifice? What are you going to do? Don't use it for crazy rituals. Even if I'm not, I've been treated like a lunatic lately..."

“I'm not going to do anything like that. But we didn't want anyone to see us here. Then you know what happens to you, don't you?”

Are you saying you can't talk to me?

However, it was important not to fall into trouble. This is just a student. If they see us, I think we should leave right away, or else this is just outside the premises. If you do something strange, the guards will find you soon. It would be best to escape at a glance.

What are you thinking? Or is it the sighting itself that is troubling?

This is how I came to show my face, and I don't think I cared about people.

I don't know. Anyway. I don't know if the timing is bad, but there is still no sign of a patrol coming.

... no good. I have little magic power because of my experiments in the workshop. I have blurred vision and I think it is about one shot. It was a [Surprise Bubble (Astonish Bubble)] for such a time, but even now there was no magic power left.

I was completely alarmed. I didn't think anyone suspicious would show up in a place like this.

Even in King's Landing, the security around here is strict.

It couldn't have been so easy for outsiders to get in.

Suspicious people are approaching. It was like a circle around itself. There is no sense of crisis if this is the case, but there is a disturbing air of hostility all around.

I saw it and pulled out my sword.

But I didn't slash it.

The sword wasn't lacking in confidence, but it seemed impossible to properly strike a sword in this situation. I now had magic power, and in addition to the magic power amplification materials in my hand, I also had a magic power meter. If you don't know who you are, if you get burned and defeated, and they get stolen, that's it.

Don't let yourself be enlightened by your possessions. We have to protect them.

We should try to break through and try our best to escape.

Observe the surroundings with lateral eyes.

The distance is too long to get over the ridge.

I ran into the alley, but I was surrounded.

There is a distance to the entrance of the guild.

No sign of a patrol so far.

From what I can see, the movement of the suspects appears to be under considerable control. It seems like a movement of trained men. It would be reasonable to think of a person who belongs to some kind of organization when considering it in conjunction with the words and actions mentioned earlier.

Suspicious people's hands stretch out. Before that, I mumbled a magic spell.

The Suspicions were slightly surprised and quickly finished their chanting.

And then,

"- Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Call for help with amplified audio with loudspeaker magic. I can't dress up like calling for help without even guessing, but that's not what I'm saying right now.

The silence immediately came after a loud sound that made me want to cover my ears.

But the suspects weren't in a hurry.

Did the man with the irresistible face guess what the current magic was?

"It's a very unusual miniature craft. It looked like it had less magic power. It's just a bad scratch, isn't it?"

"That's what I'm talking about."

With such little magic, it's a funny thing.

"Can I say that?" The patrols will be rushing in soon?

"It's a sassy thing to say. I have to be strict about this."

The man with the irritated face laughed sparingly, but the man who stood behind him was calm.

Watch the situation around you and snort.

"Hmm. You can't be here early."

"...... kuu"

The magic power of one of the Suspicions was increased.

No way, you're trying to use magic for just one student.

I don't know what I was thinking, but I was distracted by it.

A kick flies from the side of the wrap.

"Guu...!?"

There is also a difference in stature, and I am beaten up. I managed to get passive, but I couldn't defend in time.

The more air is pushed out of your lungs and your consciousness is about to fly, the more painful it becomes.

I want to fight back, but I can't do anything bad. If we fight back here, the suspects will be serious, and that could be dangerous.

I just hope that the loud magic has reached the guards and the gendarmes and is coming towards me...

"What's the matter? It's just the magic that makes my voice louder, and the others are already stopped?" No, no, not at all. Better than those who don't have it. "

The man with the strange face casts a spell when he says so.

Now it was the magic of the wind. Probably less lethal.

Eventually, when the magic was established, it was shocked by the wind pressure.

"Ughh..."

"You must be a student of the Magic Court, right?" Doesn't magic defend or counterattack? Oh, I see. You have no magic power at all. Hahaha! "

The man continued to use the magic of the wind with a disturbing laugh.

After all, the shock shook my body hard.

"Ughh!?"

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Nh...!"

Say whatever you like. If only I had some magic power left, it wouldn't be like this.

It is terribly regrettable to have to be round like a turtle.

In the meantime, did you notice anything about a man with a strange face?

"Well, you can concentrate less magic power in a rushing place and use it as an incomparable defense." It's a clever thing to do. "

I stared up at the man with the irritated face.

"... what's with those eyes?" If you're sorry, show me something. "

…………

"Are you listening to me!? If you're listening, you're going to answer me!?"

"... haha!?"

Gradually, a more severe shock is felt in the abdomen. For a moment, your consciousness seems distant, but you can hold on with your temper. Don't let go of your consciousness here.

Round and round, the vortex begins to swirl in front of you.

In the midst of this, a man with a clumsily face makes him hear the sound of his teeth clattering.

The boiling point is very low for those who have more room than before. You're tormenting me, but you seem so irritated that you don't know what to do with it.

I wonder if you don't care so much for a human with low magic power to take a defiant attitude. In the first place, it wasn't as much magic power as it had to be said to be devilless. It just happened that my magic power was low in the experiment, and I just hit it.

The man standing behind me held his mouth shut.

"Hey, you're overdoing everything."

"Are you going to stop it? I don't like people who don't appreciate this sort of thing. Even though my magic power is low, I can't help but stand up to the shallowness of trying to catch up with those who can hold it."

I can't say that it's a good hobby to have a child?

"You're the one who proposed to hurt the people you saw, right?" You don't think this is how it ends? "

"I'm telling you it's not enough." There's no point in doing that anymore. "

"No, I have to teach these kids a lesson." Besides, isn't this what we need to do? ”

"That's true, but...."

"And before you see it, look at those red eyes." Don't you think you don't like it? I get very irritated when I see those eyes. Those red eyes... oh yeah. I'm terribly angry. "

The man with the irritated face shows a face full of hostility. Dialogue can be abusive, but the will seems to have a different intention.

I don't just want to tease you, it's as if you're really disturbing me.

It seems that the man who called out to her is also puzzled.

Are the suspicious people not in agreement? There seems to be a clash of opinions. It seems that the man with the irresistible face is showing a gesture of desperation, while the others are trying to finish it soon.

…………

I can't read your thoughts. Because neither of them is suitable for dealing with when they are found.

I didn't kill him right away, but I said, "Isn't that enough?" A strangely cautious opinion is spoken.

Is there another purpose? It seems like that, but the pain is in the way and I can't think of the details. Somehow, I think it's very important.

A man with a strange face started casting spells again. It's been a long time now.

--But I was just waiting for it.

The man with the irritated face thinks that he can't move at all because of the pain, and he has no intention of rebelling. The same goes for the others. They don't seem to think about being rebelled against from here, so they're starting to be alert to those around them.

That's where I put it.

I couldn't fight back, but it wasn't like I had a weak gesture toward Date.

Take more time to exhale and less time to feel the pain.

And [focus] to escape. The timing of the movement was just before the magic was completed. When everyone's consciousness turned to magic. I slashed at the man with the irritated face and escaped with the same momentum.

Wind Voice

It was a commonly used word when crafting wind spells. It is easy to use and can be incorporated into any part of the sentence.

Hagu

A very old word popped up. This is a word of celebration and joy. The words that have been modified by this are more effective after receiving their ale.

Storm of the High Peaks?

It is no surprise to hear such words. It should have been a word that barely came out in the [Spirit Age].

Unintentionally, you chew your back teeth hard. Because I thought it was good magic. I didn't expect these people to be so attentive to effects and words, and to use well-organized spells.

But it's about time. We're at our height.

It's almost time to move.

That's what I thought.

"-This way!" We have a suspicious group here! Come quickly! "

――

From nowhere, you can hear a woman's voice.

What you hear is noisy footsteps.

Eventually, it will be illuminated by the glare that makes you want to cover your eyes.

It is like a flashlight made of brilliant glass that is used by guards when they patrol the surroundings at night. It is similar to the lamp (cancer) of the Edo period.

The guards patrolling the perimeter of the premises showed up.

In addition, gendarmes roam the capital.

“What are you doing there!”

A man with a sloppy face who heard his voice laughed at him with a mocking smile.

It was a strange smile that mingled with a daze at the late arrival and a hint of joy.

It is as if they were waiting for their arrival.

"Oh my, you're finally here." Makes it a total hassle. "

"Let's get out of here. There are no children here."

"I'll leave the lead to you." You better watch your escape route. "

The suspicious people fled at once when the man with the irritated face said like Aoshi.

But the escape was so vivid that it was blinded.

What was the purpose? The same is true of what I said earlier. It's too chaotic.

Soon, the guards will be on their way.

"Are you all right!?"

"Yes... it was very helpful"

Arks-kun!? Are you hurt?

"Yeah. I can do it."

There are no serious injuries. I cut my mouth a little bit.

The Gendarmerie chases after the suspicious.

But you can't expect to be captured. They were prepared to flee.

The guard prompted the Magician Guild to return the money to him.

What suddenly caught my attention was a line from a strange-looking man.

--Oh my God, you're finally here. Makes it a total hassle.

The man with the irritated face did say something like that.

"That thing is like..."

Month × Day

After the Suspicious Rumble near the Mage Guild.

Of course, Noah who picked me up was preaching to me, and Kazuy was going to be preaching to me.

"Experiments are fine, but you have to be careful about other things." Mr. Arkes is an important person in Japan who is a developer of magic meters. It is also necessary to weigh oneself. I need you to think about it. "

“I'm sorry, I was totally floating.”

"You should think about coming back from now on." No matter how good the security, the danger is everywhere. "

Completely disordered. If I had retained my magic power, I would have been able to fight with my sword, but I was also quite stuck in that regard. In fact, I'm very sorry to both of you.

Anyway, the next time I went to the Mage Guild, I had to accompany either Noah or Kazuy. When I went back to the Magic Court, I had to send someone to call either.

But it's noisy, anyway.

"Because of that, the guild is on a strict alert right now." They're bringing security guards from all over the place. "

Is that so?

"According to the guild leader, it's because there is a magic meter." I can't believe the magic court lecturer is driving out, and now the guild is tingling inside and out. "

"I've often heard of suspicious people being caught around the Mage Guild, but..."

And I wonder what's going on if he's not caught.

... and after that, I take Noah and Kazuy to the vacant lot I rented.

The belongings are the core part of the device and the rolls (scrolls).

I'm going to do a scroll experiment!

I'm about to say big stuffing.

"That's right. Fufu, fufufu... now I can show the world that I'm a genius... fufufufufufu..."

…………

…………

Noah and Kazuy make a hard expression when they see Arks suddenly start to say something that makes them uneasy.

Naturally, they have the same idea that Arkes is going to be like this.

(...... I thought it was getting better for a while, but are you lacking sleep again?)

(... yes. If you don't look, this is it. It is a big stuffing, so I think it will continue to fall asleep for a while.)

(... oh, when this is over, I'll have to think about a lot of things)

(... yes, let's hug the workshop staff, considering that I and Kazuy-san can't handle it alone)

Anyway, the two of them have a secret story.

"Dear Arks, the other day." Please keep it in the corner of your heart so that you don't use too much magic power too much. "

"Ugh... I know." Besides, there are two of us today, right? "

But that's my fault. Do I have to take his word for it?

Alright, it's time to get it up and running!

That's fine, but what's in there?

Noah looks at the object on the ground and bends his head.

What was there was a cylindrical mechanism with the length of the child's arm.

There are shield-like parts attached to the outside, and at first glance, it's an object that doesn't know what it is.

"This is the contents of a device for using scrolls." I'm going to incorporate this into the main unit I'm going to make... well, look forward to it. I'll show you what you want to worship in praise of me. "

That's fine, but will it work properly?

"This time it's for trying it out. Try a few different formulas and use the best one.”

"What do you mean? Isn't it better to have something that matches your calculations?"

"I can derive the answer even with a different formula." Look, there are a lot of things like whether the disassembled formula is good or whether the omitted formula is good. I'm not saying it's okay if you give me an answer. Depending on the object, it even affects the formula that you write to the scroll. "

"I'm so embarrassed."

"Really. If only I had the magic power, I wouldn't be like this..."

The other day, I was fooled by the lack of magic power. While I was circling to avoid damage to my body as much as I could, I thought I heard a voice of disgust coming out of me, even though it was small and clever.

That's why I let the two of you hang out with the folly of the time.

When I think of it, I can't stop sighing tiredly.

“Let's do it for now. It's like you've already seen the results.”

"That's right. I'm already seeing success, and I want everybody who complains to blow it up."

Noah and Kazuy change their route in a positive direction, worrying that the tension has fallen all at once. While thanking the two of them for trying to cheer me up, I set a roll (scroll) on the device.

"Startup"

...... I'm going to activate the device several times like that.

The magic vapor was spewed out, and the curse (suso) was scattered around.

Eventually,

Looks like this is the best place.

"Sounds like it." The magical effect was uninterrupted. ”

"The device didn't stall or stop." I think it's good, right? "

Alright, let's use this to fetch the data!

That was when I declared that.

The surrounding scenery stained with scarlet.

"What? What...?"

It was so abrupt.

The world is being eroded into red.

It's as if the foggy scenery sank into the sunset.

What the hell is wrong with this? It is now a daytime cloudy day. Such natural phenomena have never been encountered before. However, it wasn't the magic effect I had just used.

Noah was the first person to notice the identity of the weirdness as he was puzzled in the red clouds.

Ah, Miss Arks! This is a precursor to the appearance of monsters!

"Huh!? Huh!? Huh!? A monster!? Why!? Why would that happen!?"

“I don't know! But I'm sure!”

"Watch out! I don't know where they're coming from!"

For the first time in a long time, I heard Kazuy's stuck voice.

I don't know what it is, but I was late.

If you're a monster, you can't be alarmed. If it's what I've heard before, there's something outrageous.

Release your hand from the device and immediately take the sword and focus. I picked up as much of the firepower in my head as I could so that I could use my magic at any time.

While creating a back-to-back situation, Noah and Kazuy and the three of them watched the surrounding situation with caution.

I was in good shape.

Noah grabbed the iced sword.

Kazuy also had to use the Spirit Chain to get ready.

...... After a while, the dark red haze slowly diminished its color.

Gradually, the red world lost its color, and eventually the world returned to its original state.

It was a gray landscape with cloudy skies.

The red aftertaste is still burnt in my eyes, but nothing happened.

I looked around.

"... disappeared?"

"Seems like a lot"

I have little experience, but is this okay?

With the extermination of Mr. Crave and the monsters before, the monsters have disappeared.

"I see. I'm glad. But why on earth would a monster come out...?"

"I don't know why, but-oh!"

Ah, I see. There's only one reason.

Noah, following Kazuy, I thought to myself.

Yes, it was said that the appearance of monsters was caused by an increase in curses.

In other words, there is only one cause.

Beyond the three gazes is a device that uses scrolls (scrolls).

In short, did this overuse increase the number of curses around you?

"It must be natural to think like that."

I was so vigilant that I stopped the device, so it wasn't until the monster came out.

"I guess so, but that's why..."

It's strange.

It's only natural to think so. If this kind of magic is happening, there will be monsters everywhere, such as when using magic on a war scale. It's not a war with magic. But that's not what happens in war, and I've never heard of it.

However, this occurrence of aura phenomena means that there is no doubt that the curse (suso) in a certain space has increased.

In other words, do you think this will cause more curses?

I think so.

"This is a big development problem."

That's what I'm saying, but I don't think it's that serious.

That must be the case.

"No, it's okay. The aura happened after I used the device." In short, if you don't use this too much, it's no problem, right? Either way, it's not as stupid as it sounds in battle. "

"Well..."

"Still, you probably have to think about what happens to magic on a big scale."

"But the kingdom's curse is harsh." If you don't have proper countermeasures around here, you'll be asked to stop the development. "

Kazuy was right. If this is known, there is also an undeniable possibility that a stop will be applied.

But we've already come up with a solution.

"... fufufu, it looks like we've got something to make before this!"

What's that?

"It's a device that measures the amount of curses around you!" A radiation dosimeter (Geiger counter), a cursed dosimeter (Kurst counter)! "

"I'm not sure about the name, but how do you make something like that in the first place?"

"Fufufu, it's sweet, Akechi-kun!" I already have a plan! "

…………

…………

The two gentle-hearted eyes of the phantom's line came to their attention again. Why?

... of course, it goes without saying that after this, I fell asleep again due to the design and development of a device to measure the amount of curses.
