Magicraft Meister Part 1

Jin contacted Reinhardt and the others as a matter of course.

Naturally, Reinhardt wanted to drop his work and come, but Bertsche admonished him and he gave up crying.

"But tell me the results in detail!

Bertsche admonished him, but he refused in tears.

...... is my guess.

In front of Erza, Saki, Toa, Stearina, and Vivian, Jin once again presented his theory.

"Hmm, Jin, you say that the free magical element (ether) is not only the element of magic, but also the medium that transmits magic and spiritual power!

Saki was the first to react.

"That's right. That's why I've been thinking about how to free the free magical element (ether).

"Hmm. First of all, we need to make sure that the free magical element (ether) is really a medium for transmitting magical and spiritual power.

This is Toa. This is a researcher's opinion.

.

The old man's voice echoed here.

It is a known fact that the north has more free magical element (ether) and the south has less free magical element (ether). The information from the old man confirmed Jin's theory.

"It's no wonder that it transmits magic power. But mental power?　I wonder if there is ...... any such thing or not."

Stearina is skeptical about mental power.

"Yes, but that's not what matters now."

Elsa pointed out. Yes, now we are not talking about discussion, but about making a magical .

"Yes, that's right. I'd like to study the one about mental power too.

Thor seemed interested.

"Then, what do you need to interfere with magic, Jin?

"I think we need to find out at least the principle of how magic works."

"...... that's easy for you to say, Jin."

Saki looked a little stunned at Jin's answer. Jin, however, continued.

<<

The amount of mana is reduced by use, but it recovers slowly. It is thought that mana is stored in each cell.

Mental power acts on this mana to make it magical power.

Since mental power is involved, there is a difference (individuality) in each person's mana and magical power.

Magic is activated by utilizing the surrounding free magical element (ether). The total amount of mana a person possesses determines the upper limit of magic he can use.

Jin went further with his theory, saying .......

"Hmmm. In short, the power that works on free magic element (ether) is magic power, and magic power is drawn from magic element (mana) by mental power, right?"

Toa briefly summarized Jin's theory.

"Yes. The defined here is the power that acts on free magical element (ether). And it is possible that they are manipulating the free magical element (ether) in various ways and causing various phenomena.

"As far as I'm concerned, I have no reason to disagree. It makes sense.

"Based on that theory, a disruptor?　You mean to build one, right?

Erza's comment brought the discussion back to the main point once more. Yes, the primary purpose of this meeting is to develop a disrupter, not to thoroughly understand the phenomenon of magic. We must not lose sight of our purpose.

"Free magic element (ether) and magic element (mana) influence each other, that's for sure.

This is also true of Elsa. Elsa is not so good at making hypotheses, but she seems to be good at summarizing the main points.

"The mana refined in my body can be manipulated at will. This is due to mental power. Are we good so far?"

Yes, that's right.

Then, isn't it possible to convert that mana back into free magic element (ether) again?

"I see. ......"

Jin thought that this direction might be practical without going into the essence of magic.

"One more thing. There is a barrier. Is that a mana-based barrier?

"I see. ......"

Elsa is able to get to the essence of things without getting hung up on the minutiae. This may be a hidden talent.

A barrier is a boundary that forces the free magic element (ether) in the air to by magic power.

In this case, free magic element (ether) can be compared to cement and air molecules to sand or gravel. In other words, the barrier is concrete.

Incidentally, in a vacuum, a barrier would be made of only cement, i.e., only free magic element (ether).

In other words, the quasi-solidified free-magic element (ether) would be strong enough to prevent Reiko's attack.

"...... Jin, did you come up with something?"

Erza, seeing the change in Jin's expression as he thought, spoke.

A few words, which could be called Erza's keywords, seemed to have given Jin some ideas.

"For example, there is the fire magic <>. This magic converts mana into heat energy, which turns the heated air into flames and sends it flying. Let's take this as an example.

Jin explains that there are several possible ways to disable this magic.

"First. It does not allow the user to supply free magic element (ether)."

Naturally, magic will not work because mana cannot be generated.

The second is to convert mana back into free magic element (ether).

The second is to convert mana back to free magic element (ether). You could call it a canceller.

"The third is the magijammer that is now in practical use. It interferes with the triggering of the chant and prevents the creation of mana."

"Yes. I understand... if we exclude the third one, which one is better, the first or the second one?"

"That's something we'll find out when we examine the method."

Jin's comment, "We'll see what happens when we study the methods," led to the selection of the more feasible method.

"How can we prevent them from supplying free magic element (ether)?

"Eliminate free magic element (ether)?

"No, that's absurd, isn't it?

This one seems to be impractical, regardless of its principle.

"Then, how about converting mana back to free magic element (ether)?

"If mana is generated from free magic element (ether) by mental power, why don't we interfere with that mental power?

"No, I'd rather ......."

Toa, Stearina, Saki. They came up with various ideas.

Jin had a good time. The thought crossed his mind that he wished this kind of time could last forever, but he decided that now was not the time for that.

"We may not be able to get rid of the free magic element (ether), but we may be able to put it under our control.

According to Jin's theory, the magician's magical power interferes with the surrounding free-magic elements (ether) to create magic. Before that, he wants to bring the free magical elements (ether) under the control of his magical power.

"I understand the principle, or rather what you want to do. ......"

Thore tilts his head.

"That would require an enormous amount of magical power, wouldn't it?"

Saki seems to agree with her father.

"No, not really. There is a magical device (Magi Device) called the Aether Converter, which is installed in Reiko and the other Horaijima residents, and it also has the function of working on and collecting free magical elements (ether) in the surroundings.

"If you consume a lot of magic power to collect free magic elements (ether), it's a complete waste of time."

Erza added.

"I see, that makes sense."

Toa nodded in agreement.

"We can expand this range and interfere with the free magical element (ether). We don't have to attract all of them, but if we can bring them under our control, we'll be all set.

"Do you think it will work that way?"

Stearina is still skeptical.

"Proof is better than proof, let's try an experiment.

Jin instructed Reiko to set the output of the ether converter to 100%.

"Yes, father."

"Now most of the free magic element (ether) around Reiko should be < by her Aether Converter.

Jin says, "You'll see if you can do any big magic in that state.

"I annotated 'big' because there must be some extra free magic element (ether) left over.

"Yes, I'll take care of it then. "

<

Stearina tried to remove the impurities from the magi stone in her pocket .......

"Oh, really. It doesn't work very well.

She noticed that the activation was slow and time-consuming.

"I see. I think I can make this work, the disrupter."

He seemed to see a ray of light.
