chapter 17
mana (2)
A wave of blue mana filled the not so small health room.
Seeing it, I burst into admiration.
“Wow….so pretty.”
“…it was a hypothesis, but I didn’t expect to see it for real.”
“What is that? Did you just burn the magic stone on the hypothesis?”
“It’s not just research. Whether a hypothesis is true or not is only known through research. Manastone is that investment!”
puffy face.
White skin like glutinous rice cake.
Seeing the puffy cheeks that swelled up over that skin made me want to stab him, but his opponent was a great witch.
I barely put up with it because I didn’t know that if I made a mistake, I might turn into a frog and become a laboratory test subject-
Cook-
“….what are you doing?”
“….Instinct?”
right!
it hurts badly
He had been beaten with chestnuts on his thin, white fingers, but it felt as if he had been hit by a siege pendulum.
When rubbing the tingling forehead.
Walpurgis asked, placing his hand on his waist.
“ruler! What do you see?”
“…a wave of blue mana that filled the room. It’s like… well, it’s like an aurora.”
“What?”
Aurora.
My own way of expressing the blue mana that filled the health room.
At that, Walpurgis looked at me in amazement.
“why? Is it bad?”
“No, no… it’s not like that… you mean it really looks like that? Mana of Mana?”
“Yes, I have no reason to lie, do I?”
“It is, but…”
As I watched Walpurgis’ face, which was colorfully mixed with surprise, astonishment, and bewilderment, Walpurgis blushed and waved his hand with a buzzing sound.
“What are you staring at!”
“Just. It was fun to watch.”
“You mean my face is funny?”
“It’s not like that. Why are you twisting your ears like this?”
“…it’s like an idiot idiot.”
“Anyway, it’s good, it’s bad. just say that Because I am dying of curiosity.”
It was a dense, childish Walpurgis, but the answer to my question came right away.
“It’s good. It’s also very, very, very good.”
“…that much? Seeing mana like the aurora?”
“Of course! It is true that the mana of the Manastone is so high that it looks like an aurora. However, the restraining power of the mana contained in the crushed manastone disappears, and it returns to its natural state. It disappears completely after a while. In other words, you literally have the ability to see the mana that is spread throughout nature!”
“….Five!”
“…if you don’t know, don’t pretend you know. Because I want to hit you.”
“Yeah, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Of course, knowing that was a different matter.
A few days ago, living in the 21st century full of science, how could I possibly understand things like mana and mana affinity?
The mana I knew was only that it was an indispensable resource when making magic, aura, or swordsmanship.
“Hey, how do I explain this…”
“I know it’s good, but can you explain it in a simple way?”
It’s like saying to a newborn baby, “This is precious for a gold nugget.”
Walpurgis sighed deeply and pondered on how to explain it, but as if shouting ‘Eureka!’
“okay! If this is the case, you, like an idiot, an idiot, and an asshole, Heize, will know!”
“Heize is me, but I’m not behind.”
“Quiet! The only definition of your talent is that you can borrow mana from nature.”
“You can borrow mana from nature – I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I will explain briefly. Let’s say you’re a wizard.”
“I’m stupid, so I can’t be a wizard.”
“…just keep your mouth shut.”
As he giggled as he ripped his hair out and burst into rage, the real Walpurgis managed to keep going.
“Let’s just call him a wizard! I don’t care if you’re stupid and you’re stupid!”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Now, will you use magic? What kind of magic are you going to use?”
“Um- Fireball?”
“Yeah, your talent will be a fireball that is many times bigger, more powerful and more destructive than the fireball used by an ordinary wizard.”
“Oh- is that…?”
“It’s like borrowing mana from nature. In addition to your mana, natural mana comes naturally, so even ordinary magic becomes something of an anti-magic absurd! How are you, isn’t it great?”
“This is pretty cool.”
After hearing Walpurgis’ clear explanation, I got a rough idea.
amplification.
It was said that whatever you do, if it has to do with mana, you can amplify it.
Ordinary magic into extraordinary magic.
Evolving ordinary swordsmanship or aura into extraordinary swordsmanship or aura.
It’s my talent to make it as natural as breathing.
“I knew it! But… there is one problem.”
“Yeah, I think I know the problem.”
One problem with my seemingly perfect talent.
“…the mana is not collected. To be precise, the mana accumulated in your body will disappear in an instant, so it will not accumulate. Even if you pour the sea, it will all go away, so even with the overwhelming mana affinity, your mana is zero.”
“In the end, it’s a step back.”
Mana loss.
That curse-like constraint made it impossible to even use my irreplaceable talents properly.
walking on the spot.
I couldn’t laugh any more at the fact that even after breaking the expensive manastones, it was still in place.
“What did you say.”
“….Yes?”
“Why do you think you’re standing still?”
“Yeah- I know what my talents are, but if I can’t collect mana, there’s no point…?”
Let’s say you have a car with very good fuel economy.
A dream car that automatically fills up fuel just by rolling it.
However, if there is a big hole in the fuel tank of such a dream car and the fuel is collected, the dream car is no longer a dream car.
‘It’s not a dream car, it’s a Hellcar.’
It’s a shame that you can’t roll even with a good car.
Now I am experiencing that sadness.
However, Walpurgis blew away a little bit of my sadness.
“Look at me, you stupid idiot, sea cucumber anemone stinging, Heize.”
“It seems like something has grown.”
“It’s the mood. A bummer.”
“…it’s a little sad to hear that.”
Walpurgis, who has an S+ level of intelligence to me, who has less intelligence than the general public, could be said to be an outsider.
Still, it was hard to hear the squeak.
In the beginning, if you tell a genius to go crazy, even if you laugh it over, if you tell a bad-headed person to go crazy, a fight will happen.
Of course, I wasn’t squeamish enough to stick my teeth to someone stronger than me, so I just kept my mouth out and grumbled.
But the following Walpurgis words were not enough to make my mouth fit like that.
“Doesn’t mana disappear?”
“…Oh, I will. It must have been said earlier that the mana flowed from the Mana Stone returns to nature.”
“Yeah, it would be like that. But do you have a medium called you? The perfect medium for mana to stay here without returning to nature!”
ha ha ha! With the exhilarating sound of a witch’s laughter, Walpurgis perked up and churned through the infirmary.
The waves of mana swayed wildly at her movement, but there was no feeling that they were scattered, only shaking.
The collapsed formations and crowds also gathered around me again.
Walpurgis, who didn’t see as much as I did, but felt it, chuckled happily.
“Also! The man Mana loves! Poor Heize!”
“…is that good?”
“It’s a bad thing, but it’s good that Mana loves it.”
Now, Walpurgis, who was holding onto my stomach, pounded my shoulders and back.
The little hands were quite spicy.
Of course it didn’t hurt.
It’s impossible to feel the pain of hitting a palm that doesn’t even burn mana with a body that’s at the level of a knight.
“So won’t you tell me what’s good?”
“No, you have to. Think of it as putting the mana gathered around you around your body.”
“Um… I’ll try.”
Tsutsutsutsu-
It would be no joke to say that Walpurgis had a sultry look.
After thinking up to that point, I gradually began to put the mana that was full around me on my body.
Seeing the slowly gathering mana, Walpurgis made a surprised face while smiling and explaining further.
“Now think of moving it to your weapon.”
“A weapon? I have nothing right now-”
“You can even call that fist a weapon. Isn’t there one around you? That bread that takes care of your body.”
“…Oh, Professor Departe.”
fist.
It is a part of the body, but it can also be used as a weapon soon.
After thinking up to that point, I gathered the mana that was wrapped around my body into one fist.
As a result, he was able to collect most of the mana that filled the room into his fist.
“…it’s like a monster.”
“why? I didn’t do anything.”
“Do you think it makes sense to collect all the mana of nature?”
“Yes?”
“…Okay, anyway, try hitting Yogurt with that fist.”
Duck-
Walpurgis, who looked at me with a tired face, suddenly made a thick tree root and shook it gently.
target.
When I was told to hit the target with my fist, I nodded, took a stance, and fired a jab lightly.
faan-
‘….what?’
The taste is different.
Even though I had not yet hit the target, I immediately realized that the sound, speed, and power that came out when I opened my fist were different.
The monstrous body immediately communicated its changes to me, and I could be sure.
‘I can break it.’
A tree root created by the Great Witch Walpurgis.
No matter how rough it is and how weak it is to make a target, the power of the Great Witch cannot be ignored.
But nevertheless, I thought I could break it.
With the feeling and thoughts of holding a bundle of 10 Creed twigs in your hand-
Qwajik-
My fist shattered the bark of the Walpurgis tree’s roots and shattered the flesh.
The sticky sap of the tree covered my fists, and I felt a sense of discomfort, but a pleasure enough to overwhelm the discomfort spread throughout my body.
“This is…what the hell is this?”
A work that cannot be done with the strength of B+.
As she looked at Walpurgis, bewildered at the fact that she had done it, she stuck out her tongue and grinned.
“congratulation. Mana Sword… No, now that I am a fist, I am able to wield a mana fist, right?”
“Mana Sword… Mana Fist… Oh, no-?”
A name I’ve heard a lot somewhere.
After rummaging through the memory stores in my brain to figure them out, I opened my eyes when I realized what it meant.
“Yeah, it’s the knights’ property. The mana sword spread out with his fist, that’s the mana fist. In other words-“
“…I just said that I entered the realm of knights.”
“For a moment— for a brief moment— yes, obviously you have entered the realm of the knight. It’s not even a regular knight, and it’s about… mid-range? top tier? Ttt, it was roughly in the upper-intermediate level. Probably because of your monstrous power.”
mana.
I was thrilled to have dealt with it, even for a brief moment.
Refreshing, exhilarating.
Light and heavy power.
With that power, without knowing it, I smiled brightly and opened my mouth.
“Then I’ll have mana now-“
It’s half the price, but can you handle mana? – The moment you say that.
Pussuk-
“…”
“…Puffy-!”
With the sound of the balloons falling, the mana fists that fluttered like burning in their fists disappeared without a trace.
I shut my mouth, and the silence of the infirmary was filled with only the chirping of Walpurgis’ voices.
“Jorune, Joru. Anywhere else?”
“…Sexual harassment.”
5 minutes.
A fleeting moment, perhaps less than three minutes.
The mana equivalent of one manastone disappeared in an instant.
“3 minutes curry ~ 3 minutes curry ~”
“…where else did you hear that-”
“Did Bella say she wanted to take your seed?”
“…”
“He knows, too, that you’re a three-minute curry.”
“…Please, we have no relationship in the first place.”
“Heh heh, you do. But what about Bella or your friend, the Seed of the Hero?”
“…”
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut at Walpurgis’s shrieking words.
3 minutes Curry, premature ejaculation, rabbit.
For the time being, these were the words that Walpurgis would make fun of.
