Magicraft Meister Part 1

"And I think you get the idea."

Jin let Reiko's output drop to normal.

"I know this from my own experience, Reiko."

"Yes, when I was searching for my missing father, I once went to a place that was obviously in the north. The concentration of free ether was so high there that my magic became three times more powerful.

From this, we can hypothesize that the same amount of magic power could be used because there was more free magical element (ether) available," Jin concluded.

"I understand. That's what Jin-kun is all about."

"I admire your ideas, Jin-kun.

"I never get bored with you, Jin-kun.

Everyone was impressed. Jin scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well, well, that's why I'm going to try to build a disruptor based on this," he said.

"Well, I'll help you."

"We'll be watching you, Mr. Magecraft Meister," he said.

* * * *

The prototype was completed in a relatively short time, since it could use the same magical control flow (magi sequence) used in the ether converter.

"I'm tempted to say, '......, what, it's already done?　I'm tempted to say, "It's already done?"

Vivienne raised her voice with a hint of exasperation.

"I know how you feel, Vee, but this is Jin-kun."

It was still light outside, so they decided to conduct the experiment in the plaza in front of the laboratory.

The prototype was simply a magical crystal with a magical formula written on it. Jin uttered the key word.

"<>."

The effective range should be about 10 meters radius around Jin.

"......Yeah, it feels a little strange when I get close to Jin-kun. Is this because of the free magic element (ether)?"

"You can try. <>...... can't ......."

Erza, standing alongside Jin, tried to fire a <> into the sky, but the magic did not work.

"Success!　......Erza, could you call Edgar for me?"

"Yes. Edgar, come here.

Following Elsa's voice, Edgar approached and suddenly his movements became sluggish.

"......free-magic-element(ether)insufficient......movement......fury......U ......"

"<>"

Jin hurriedly deactivated the prototype disruptor. With that, Edgar's movements returned to normal.

"Thank you, Elsa. Now we know that it works on automata as well. That means that the magic tools will not work either.

"Reiko can move, why?"

Reiko looked unconcerned behind Jin.

"Oh, that's because the free magical element (ether) that this has under its control is subject to < magical power."

Reiko, the other golems, and the old man all have the same kind of magic power as Jin. That is to say, they have the same frequency.

"So, it doesn't matter if the disruptor is working or not for my creations."

This is huge. With this, I can use magic and magical tools while blocking my opponent's magic.

"Now it's just a matter of how to use it. A spherical shape centered on the disruptor is basic, but it should be directional and its range can be widened or narrowed, right?"

Brother Jin, you're looking a little tense.

"Jin really likes crafts, doesn't he?"

Jin looked at Erza and Saki as if they were smiling at him.

"But this is not a , is it?"

"Ah..."

"Indeed."

Dad is right.

Toa makes a good point. <.

"...... hmmm, let's call it a free-magic element jammer, <>."

"Yes, that would be consistent with its function.

Thus, the <> was named the <>.

The <> was completed that day. Mass production was started immediately, and Reiko, Lao Tzu, the Secret Maneuver Force (SP), and the 5th Row (Quinta) were equipped with it in that order. Eventually, all golems on Horai Island will be equipped.

The old man declared that he would give priority to the 5th column (Quinta).

"Now we have to find a way to prevent this.

Who said that if you build a weapon, you should also think about how to prevent it?

"Will you think about it, too?"

This time, it was Jin who could not go that far due to lack of time.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Early the next morning, Jin and Reiko moved to Nido Castle with their new equipment.

"Butler, how are you doing?"

asked Butler B, who had just met them,

"Yes. He seemed to have regained consciousness once, but it was short-lived and he seems to have lost consciousness again. I haven't checked on him yet this morning.

He replied, "I haven't checked on him yet this morning. Jin then went to the guest room where Zion and the others were.

"Zion, it's Jin. May I come in?"

When he called out at the door, Zion's voice answered "Come in" from inside.

I'll come in."

Jin enters. He touches the in his pocket in case of emergency.

"How are you feeling?"

"Yeah, he's doing much better. He hasn't regained consciousness yet, but his breathing is normal and his color is better.

"Well, that's good."

As we were having this conversation, Istaris' mouth moved.

"My Lady!　Istaris-sama!"

Lucas's voice made Zion turn to his sister.

"My sister!　My sister!"

"......Si......on......?"

The closed eye lids slowly opened. Istaris' eyes were the same clear light blue as Zion's.

"It's me!　It's me!　I need you!

Jin gently pats Zion's shoulder as she clings to him, and hands her a glass of Persian juice.

"Oh, yes!　...... sister, drink this!"

She puts the sucker to Istaris' mouth and she drinks it, albeit slowly.

"Delicious ......."

Istaris drank the whole bottle and seemed to feel much better.

"Zion ...... is that you?"

"Yes sister, it's me!　Netros is here too. It's all right now!"

"What?　What?　I'm I ...... am ...... so,caught,......."

Istaris's face became distorted as she looked at him.

"Oh, oh, oh,...... no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

Istaris scratched his face with both hands. As she does so, her cheeks are covered in red welts.

"Hey, sis!　Sister!"

Her body trembles convulsively, and even Xion can't control it.

I can't!

Hyperventilating, he choked, breathing hard, and still clawing at his face.

Reiko!

"Yes. ......<"

Jin, who couldn't bear to look at Istaris, ordered Reiko to paralyze Istaris with <>.

"Hey, sis. ......"

Istaris lies with a bloody face.

Jin ordered Butler B to prepare a clean cloth and wiped his face. He then casts and . This is the greatest healing magic Jin can do, but in this case it was enough.

Looking at Istaris lying there with her wounds healed and her face clean, Zion mutters something to her.

"My sister ...... what in the world ...... is going on?"

"Please don't ask her."

Netros, who had been awake for some time, muttered.
