When you take a bath in the morning and get ready, you will head to the first floor. It is magic tool making class from today. Even so, is n’t it as early as 8:00 am? The branch chief doesn't seem to want to affect the part-time job.

In the cafeteria Bath was wiping the table. Cleaning in the morning is like a daily routine.

"Yeah, Alain. Breakfast?"

"Good morning, Bath. The rears haven't come yet, so I'll just ask for one."

"I've got plenty of tonkatsu, but can I use tonkatsu for breakfast? I practiced again while watching the recipe."

"Hmm, it's a tonkatsu since the morning. Not bad. Yes! Is there bread?"

"I baked this morning to make breadcrumbs?"

Are you baking bread to make breadcrumbs? Bath's feelings about fried food are real.

"Is it okay to use it, may there be mayonnaise?"

It was confirmed yesterday that a large amount of mayonnaise was still in the refrigerated magician yesterday.

"Of course, you just need to bake again if you run out of bread. Mayonnaise is a sauce made yesterday?

"Well, let me make breakfast?"

"Of course!

Go to the kitchen and prepare cabbage, mustard, bread and tonkatsu.

Slice the cabbage, cut the loin tonkatsu into larger pieces, cut the bread into two upper and lower parts, and thinly coat one side with mustard. Mayonnaise is a tapping on both breads. If you put a lot of shredded cabbage on the bread, put the tonkatsu on it and sandwich it with the bread, you will have a mayonnaise cutlet sandwich.

"This is a cutlet sandwich. In my country, it's a dish you eat in the morning or afternoon, not dinner. Even if the tonkatsu is cold, it's delicious."

Eat with Bath.

"Yeah, it's delicious. It goes well with mayonnaise."

"It's really good! There are ways to eat it."

While returning to the cafeteria and eating, Clelia came down.

"Alan, what is it ?! Sly, alone!"

What is it?

"It's bad late in the morning. Bath will make it for you."

It seems that Bath made it right away. A girl at the inn brought a heap of cutlet sandwiches.

"Tonkatsu dish! This is delicious!"

The Clelia started eating crazy.

After eating, drink tea and take a break.

"Speaking of which, what are the Claires going to do today?"

"I'm going to go to the temple in the morning. I haven't been there for a long time and there are many things I want to thank Luminous."

A temple? I also wanted to go. I am interested in what kind of god the Clelia are serving.

"Is Alan free in the afternoon? Do you want me to teach you magic?"

"That's right. It's finally time, and I really want to practice magic, but I can't do it in town, and where there is a public eye, it's bad .... Yes, ask Bath Let's go. "

I called out Bath.

"Don't end, at work. Do you know where you can practice magic around here?"

"Can Alain use magic?"

"Well, it looks like this and it's a magic guild B rank."

"Rank B! Isn't it amazing? If you're practicing magic, you'll leave the city and walk north for about 30 minutes and you'll find a rocky shore. No, I've heard that those who can use magic are practicing there. "

"Thank you so. Okay, let's go there in the afternoon. Oops, it's time to go out.

I can't afford to be late from the first day. Let's set an alarm from tomorrow.

I was able to get to the magic guild at 8:00 just by walking fast.

I try to enter immediately, but there is no one but Lily. Neither the customer nor the guild member have seen it, but is it OK to be a magic guild?

"Good morning. Lily."

"Thank you, Alan-san, the branch manager is waiting, please go to the back room."

When he knocked into the room, there was a desk with several desks, and the chief of the branch sat at the deepest desk. Looks like he was reading a book.

"Thank you.

"Good morning, Alan"

"It's okay with Alain, because the branch director is my teacher."

"Ufufu, the teacher sounds great. Then Alan. Let's start the training immediately. The training will be on the second floor."

The second floor is a large, one-floor room with timber and various materials, which looked like a workshop or small factory. There is a large table in the center of the room. Apparently it seems to be giving a lecture at this table.

"How much does Alan know about magical tools?"

"Especially nothing. Isn't magical stone used as a power source to activate magic with a single tool?"

"Well, yes. Have you ever seen a magic tool?"

"I've used fire magic and refrigeration magic."

"So you don't have to show where it is actually working. Let's show you what the magic tool is."

From the corner of the room, the chief of the branch brought a magic tool, which is considered to be a fire tool, to the table.

"This is a fire magic tool."

"I know. I've used exactly the same."

"Oh, in this city?"

"Yes, it's an inn called fertile."

"I see. How was the comfort?"

"Good, it's easy to adjust the fire."

"That is what I made."

"That's right, so how about refrigerated magic?"

"That's right.

"Yes. Overall it was cold."

"Now, let's look at the contents of the magic tool."

I opened the fire magic case. The case seems to be wooden. I didn't notice the surface was painted black. As expected, the area around the fire was made of metal, but most of it was wooden.

"This was a tree. Did you paint anything on the surface?"

"Yes, it's a fire resistant paint. By the way, how to make that paint is a secret of the magic guild."

"I see."

"Magic tools can be roughly divided into four types: magic stones, magic conductors, magic circles, and magic output stones."

Point to each one while saying so. Magic stones are fitted to the magical tool, and the magic stone is touched by something like a string. This is a magic wire.

The magic wire that came out of the magic stone is connected to the axis of the lever that controls the fire. The magic wire comes out of the arc-shaped plate that is in contact with the magic wire, and is connected to the magic circle.

The magic circle is a paper with a round shape, a pattern like a letter written as jumble, and a magic output stone is a transparent cone-shaped stone just below the place where the fire comes out It's like

A magic wire extends from the center of the magic circle, connecting the magic circle and the magic output stone.

Structurally simple, the contents of the magic tool are slick. I can hardly imagine why this structure causes a fire.

"What is this part?"

Point to the adjustment lever and ask.

"It's part of the magic wire in the larger category. I'll explain in detail later."

"First of all, it's a magic stone. I know magic stones. Make sure that the magic stone and the magic wire are in constant contact. The magic wire is a solid piece of ordinary string immersed in a special liquid. Please try it. ''

When I touched it, it was ticking.

"What is a special liquid?"

"It's a magical liquid, and the detailed ingredients are the secrets of the guild, but the main ingredient is the crushed magic stone that has become empty."

"Can I buy magic liquid at a guild?"

"Of course. I sell that piece of pottery in that size. One guild member has eight silver coins."

It was about a liter of pottery. The chemicals to make just the parts are much higher than eight silver coins.

It is a substitute for patents. Even if someone makes a magical tool somewhere, you must use this medicine that is sold in the guild. In other words, if you make a magic tool, the magic guild will automatically be charged.

This may be a guild that won't break the guild even if there are no customers.

"I will explain the lever to adjust the heat power later.

The magic circle is the heart of the magic tool. The magic circle describes the type of magic, the strength of the magic, and the distance the magic is cast from the magic output stone. "

"Are you writing letters or patterns?"

"It's almost a pattern, but it's not completely a pattern because some patterns are derived from letters. It's important to note that the magic circle pattern is drawn from the outside of the circle to the center of the circle. It is written like a drawing, but this is where it is all connected like a single thread. ''

"That's true. Does this make sense?"

"Of course there is. That is, everything from magic stones to magic output stones is a material that passes magic power and is connected like a single thread. This is called a magic path."

In other words, is it like an electric circuit?

"Is magical material the magical material?"

"Yes. Everything from magic stones to magic output stones is made of magic stones."

"What kind of material is this magic output stone made of?"

"This is also made from a magic stone that has become empty. This is also eight silver coins at the guild member price."

It feels like bottling, but it will be difficult to cut it into this shape.

"Is the magic output stone tasteless unless it is this shape?"

"It doesn't matter if the shape is not conical, but it must be sharp for magical directivity."

"Is the main component of the ink written on this paper also magic stone?"

"Yes, I just colored the magic stone powder."

"How do magic tools begin to work?"

"A good question. This is not generally known, but magical powers have the property of being drawn to higher magical powers."

I knew that.

"In general, magic wires are made of materials that do not contain any magic, and magic circles have less magic on the outside of the circle, and ink that contains more and more magic as you go inside the circle The correct way to write a magic circle is to write in. ''

"What happens if you write the magic circle correctly?"

"Magic power flows more easily, and you can cast more powerful magic."

"After all, I don't know when the magic tools start working."

"That's right, I haven't said it yet. Let's talk step by step.

First, the magic tool is not activated when this lever is down.

However, since the magic stone and the magic circle are connected, the magic power in the magic stone is attracted to the magic power included in the magic circle, but the magic stone has a stronger magical power, so the magic power flows not.

When you move the lever, the magic of firing will be activated, and at this time magic power will begin to flow for the first time. ''

"Isn't magical stone magical power greater than the magical power consumed by firing magic?"

"Yes, of course. However, the power to draw magic power from magic stones by invoking magic is overwhelmingly stronger than the power to attract magic power, so magic power begins to flow."

"Why is that happening?"

"I don't know why, but it's considered a phenomenon similar to how people cast magic."

"So that's it"

The branch chief moved the lever. The magic of firing is activated, and a flame appears about 10 cm above the magic output stone attached to the bottom of the magic tool.

"The lever was moved, the magic of firing was executed, and magical power began to be sucked out of the magic stone."

"I told you to draw the magical strength on the magic circle earlier, why is the strength of the fire changed rather than fixed?"

"The strength of the magic in the magic circle is, of course, fixed. The fire strength of this magic tool is changed by the magic wire.

In other words, the magic wire coming out of the magic stone is fixed in the middle of the lever. And the magic wire is in contact with this arc plate.

The surface of this circular plate is coated with magic liquid with different magic power.

Now, with the least amount of heat, the magic wire coming from the magic stone is in contact, and this part of this plate is painted with magic liquid containing magical power stronger than the ink drawn on the magic circle There is.

In other words, it is not a correct magic path that gradually increases in magic power, but from a magic wire without magic power to a magic wire with strong magic power, and then to a magic circle with less magic power, It is an incorrect magic path.

Magic power does not flow much in such a maze. Therefore, a fire smaller than the heat drawn on the magic circle is ignited. ''

"So that's it"

I don't understand it.

(Did you understand?)

[Yes]

So no problem. Get updated later.

`` When the lever is moved, the contact surface between the magic wire fixed to the lever and the arc plate moves, and the contact surface moves to the part coated with magic liquid that does not contain more magic power, and it is correct As we approach the maze, the magic power flows more easily, and the momentum of the fire increases. "

I see, somehow. In other words, the role of a variable resistor for electronic components may be achieved by utilizing the magical power of the magic liquid applied to the arc.

"I see."

"Oh, Alain is excellent at this explanation."

"The explanation of the branch chief is good. After all, all the functions of magic tools are determined by the magic circle."

"That's right. Of course, the magic path around the magic circle is important, but without the magic circle, it will not begin. So let's study the contents of the magic circle."

"I will give you this first. This is a magic book that describes the meaning of the magic circle pattern. It is included in the training fee and will be Alain's."

"The magic book wasn't just about mastering magic. Does this book include all the patterns used in magic tools?"

"No, only the basic patterns are on it. But even the basic patterns are, for example, all the patterns needed for the magic circle of this fire magic tool."

"There is an advanced version of the magic book, how do you get it?"

"If you take the applied magic tool making course, you will get the applied magic book."

I'm thinking a lot. He seems to know how to squeeze the gold well.

"Now let's look at the contents of the magic circle.

In the first part of the magic circle, draw a pattern indicating the type of magic.

Next is the pattern that indicates the strength of magic, that is, the designation of the amount of magic.

Next, draw the distance at which the magic is activated from the magic output stone.

The direction in which the magic is activated is specified by the direction of the tip of the magic output stone. "

"It's easy to understand."

"Let's actually write a magic circle.

For studying, have them draw exactly the same magic circle of this fire magic tool.

It's impossible to draw on a piece of paper with a magic liquid, so I'll draft it first and then write it. ''

Nanom will support you, so there's no problem in production.

The branch chief brought a compass and a ruler and started drafting on paper. I'm drafting something like pointed charcoal.

"I'm going to draft something like this.

I started writing as the branch chief did. It's an easy win because Nanom supports us.

"It's wonderful! I've never seen anyone who can write so far for the first time. The part I just wrote is the part that specifies the magic of fire. It is listed here in this book."

Indeed, the same is true. Continue writing magic circles while receiving explanations. I was able to write in about an hour.

"It's really great. You'll probably be writing exactly the same. Usually it's a failure because of the gaps in the pattern as you go inside the circle."

"Are the gaps unpleasant?"

"Of course. The magical power flowing interferes and does not work well, or the output drops. It can not be too close or too far apart."

"How is the interval determined?"

"It depends on the size of the pattern to be written. If you write a large pattern, the interval must be wide, if you write small, the interval must be narrow. Adjust the interval in proportion to the size of the pattern."

"What's that ratio?"

"Eighty percent of the height of the pattern is said to be optimal."

When I measured the draft I wrote on the scale on the virtual window, it was exactly that ratio.

"Next, let's paint the draft paper with magic ink.

As I mentioned earlier, the outside of the circle is drawn with magical ink with little magic, and as you go inside the circle, you draw with magical ink with deeper magic.

In general, we will switch the magic ink used for about a quarter of the total length of the magic circle pattern.

First, let's measure the total length of the pattern using this string. ''

Use the string to crawl along the magic circle and measure the total length of the magic circle. After that, the string is folded into four parts, and the string is crawled again by the magic circle to mark the places where ink is switched.

I don't need this work because Nanom measures it.

"Now, with this magic ink A, I will paint a draft from the outside of the circle."

"Are these four types of magic ink also sold in guilds?"

"Of course, at the guild membership price, A is 10 silver coins, B is 12 coins, C is 14 coins, and D is 16 coins."

The reason why magic tools are expensive is now clear.

I paint the drafts with ink. This was just a coloring book, so it was completed soon.

"Now let's see if this magic circle works."

Disassemble fire magic tools, exchange magic circles, and assemble again. The structure was simple and could be replaced immediately.

When I moved the lever and moved the magic tool, it ignited without any abnormalities.

"It's great. I think this should be done on the third or fourth day of the training. It's the first time I can do this on the first day."

"Because the teaching is good."

"From tomorrow, let's study the details of the magic circle. We have a little time left. Do you have any questions?"

"So. I've been worried for a long time. What is magic?"

"It's a very difficult question. No one in the magic guild has the answer if you give your conclusion first.

Theologically, as Alan knows, it is the power that the goddess Luminous gave to humans to fight things with magic stones.

However, in recent years it has become clear that some demons also use magic.

So why did Luminous give magical power to monsters?

The answer is unknown to priests and magic guild researchers.

After all, we just know how to use magic. ''

"Yes, I'm sorry. I thought I would know something if I joined the guild."

"Of course, there are various theories in the guild, but from my point of view, they were all imaginations and none were persuasive."

"Well, just hearing it is a harvest. So what do you know about the first spellbook writer?"

"There are various theories about that, but I don't know the details. I personally like the theory that Luminous himself wrote down and handed it to a prince in a country that was suffering from the demon invasion. "

I don't know anything about magic books. Certainly, discovering how to write such a complex magic pattern is not a human business.

"Yes. I think it seems most likely."

"Finally. Why is the magic triggered when you draw a pattern on the magic circle?"

"I don't even know about it. Guild trainees are writing various patterns every day and studying the theories about them and studying the magic that is not found in the magic book. There is no example that has discovered. "

"Yes, I see."

"So it's time. If there are no other questions, today's lesson is over."

"I want to review, so I want to buy various magic liquids and magic output stones. Can I tell Lily?"

The branch manager's face smiled immediately. I guess sales are low.

"Yes! I'll prepare you soon."

Pay 680,800 guinea at the reception to receive the goods. The branch leader gave a brief description of the chemicals used in the magic wire.

Buy the cord for the magic wire at Tarus's shop and go home.

This concludes the first day of the basic magic tool making class.
