The Magus of Genesis

"There are twenty. This isn't a normal weapon."

With the example magic gauge pressed against the fur of the armored bear, Innis glanced.

"Twenty? But when I measured my magic powers before, Innis had the power to stab an arrow or two or thirty times."

Innis is about to be nearly three hundred years old, but he still only looks like an early teenager. He is also extremely low and small enough to be smaller than Cruse. And that arm strength wasn't supposed to be as strong as it seemed.

"This number doesn't really have anything to do with arm power or momentum, does it? He's more magical. Because I am a weak and weak girl, that number is not that low. If I really want to kill my teacher and squeeze my strength, that's all."

I think I heard a lot of words that I don't want to overhear, but when I'm talking to Innis, I can't get on with it. I dared to decide to go through.

"Besides this magic figure, it has the strength of fur in the first place. If it's stuck to a living armored bear, it could be the muscles and bones behind it. So, the strength of the magic we stab is more or less the same as the strength of the magic of the fur itself..."

When Innis takes the knife out of his pocket, he supports it to stand a blade over the fur of the armored bear. The tip is just touching the fur, and it's not more powerful.

"This kind of thing."

"I see. You can't just touch it, you can't stab it."

Now I know why the armored bear withstood the blow of my wand. The magic put in the wand is probably somewhat more than the magic caged in the fur of an armored bear. However, the reduced fur content of the magic prevented the armored bear from exceeding its weight.

"In other words... physical defense of matter itself and magical defense by magic. Can't this armored bear's fur be pierced if it doesn't add up to both?"

"Magic defense? Yeah, that sounds like a pretty easy word to use. Attacks and defenses are only differences in usage, so it would be more common to use them with magic strength, but, no."

Innis heads to the blackboard and begins to bullet with a chalk.

"There are three ways to pierce this fur. I get it, Doctor?

"The easiest thing to understand would be to give it magical aggression"

That's the way I went. I've never measured how much magic a magic bullet has, but dragon scales are also magic piercing. At least it has the strength to penetrate the fur of an armored bear protected by magic, wear muscles, and destroy the skull.

"Yeah. Simple is fine, but that's about as good as a teacher you can do. What's next?"

"... you should be able to increase your physical attack power. Build muscle strength and use sharper, stiffer and heavier weapons."

When I thought about it a little and answered, Innis nodded yeah.

"Right. The swordsmen are doing it, but I think it's better to fall into that category. It is also called cutting the softer, easier to cut parts at an easier time. So, what's the third?

"Lower your opponent's defense, that's where you get in."

then...... what should i do? There are only two types of attack power.... No, no, right.

"of the attack itself, give it magic"

"No, it's because of me."

Dr. Innis gave me Hanamaru.

"Ma, it's the same thing this armored bear does, isn't it? All you have to do is magic the weapon itself. If the power to pierce and the magic power of the fur is offset. Hit something with magic power in the first place. It's a simple addition."

Innis, when he can stroke the blade of the knife and magic it, places the blade on the fur just like he did earlier. Then the knife followed gravity and fell with a ston.

It is caught in the fundamental patterned part of the blade through the fur and down to the desk beneath it.

"No... wait. But we should be doing that by now."

A giant beast of five metres in length can be stamped with a primitive weapon by anyone less than two metres long because it is magically fortified. In the world of previous life, hippos were not such easy beasts to kill even with guns. We can hunt even more mighty beasts than that because we have a mighty weapon called magic.

Now that armored bears can also acquire magic and use magic, its advantages have disappeared. Can a man kill a bear with a spear without any magic? That's what I mean.

"I know. About. But that's precisely the effect of weapons on the outside… To put it bluntly, it enhances the sharpness of what it is. I'm not reinforcing the weapon itself."

"Hmm? How is it different?

I tilted my neck. Reinforcing weapons and enhancing the impact of weapons on the outside world. Because I felt like the same thing.

"No, not at all. Whereas the former generates a tiny arendal force field, the latter dramatically increases the tenesis strength by magic elements mediating the bonding of the constituent atoms of matter...... Ah. Well, er..."

Innis scratched his head when he sensed that I didn't completely understand, thought about it for a moment, and then said it again.

"Simply put, we just need to build a stronger weapon. Materials and manufacturing techniques. You won't be able to make legally strong weapons right away, but I know how to make magically strong weapons. So, if you fight with more enhanced magic on that powerful weapon, you can also defeat a magical armored bear."

I was surprised. Not to that idea of hers.

"You were aware. This armored bear is probably not the only beast with magic."

"Well, yes. If the teacher changes his blood so much and brings me a story, it means there's something dangerous about the village."

Yes. Perhaps this individual is not the only beast who has acquired magic. It wouldn't even be limited to armored bears. Ferocious beasts cannot be cited in the woods. If all of that has magic, it's more of a threat than a demon.

"A beast with magic...... well, let's call it a warcraft, suppose. And the reason it happened is somehow predictable."

The warcrafted armored bear had no indication whatsoever that it had undergone any unnatural… that is, any artificial processing. If, for example, Algernon was still alive and had strengthened the armored bear in some way to do us harm, it would be odd if we didn't see such a change, such as assaulting people more ferociously and aggressively, or coming in line with high intelligence.

But other than having magic and using magic, that armored bear was no different than a normal beast. Live in the woods in the same way, attack people in the same way. As soon as I saw that me and Nina had strong magic powers, but that's all.

I mean, that's a natural change, so I can only think of one cause for that to happen.

"You're a monster."

To Innis's words, I nodded.

The demons possess magic and use magic, but they are not magical on their skin like warcraft. You don't have to use magic to get through the attack. It's a threat to us if we flock, but not if we're a detached individual. It will be possible enough to prey even on wild beasts.

"The beast that ate the demon accumulated magic in its body, so that it could use magic. Do you mind if I understand that?

"We need to verify it, but there's no other possibility."

I snort at Innis' words. It is absolutely necessary to investigate how warcrafted the beasts in the neighborhood are. Should I ask the sword department to look into it? They won't take lag even if the Warcraft is their opponent.

"So how are you going to make a stronger weapon?

"It's easy. You just have to use a lot of magical ingredients."

What I saw in Innis's words was the fur of an armored bear. If magic permeates not only fur, but also nails and fangs, then the flesh can be processed into a powerful weapon.

"No, I'm not. It's not a bad idea, but the body of a boulder armored bear isn't harder than iron either. Physical aggression makes it inferior. It's only a weapon that makes sense because it has a giant armored bear."

Predict my thoughts with that gaze alone, Innis.

"You're here. With much more magic, creatures with much harder and tougher bodies than iron."

She smiles with a lovely face like an angel and stares at me.

With that expression, I finally figured out what she was going to say.

"Ah, me."

"That's true."
