442 - - Episode 5 Miya, Quone's Six Principality School Life, 1st and 2nd Part

One of the most common ways to enhance offensive magic is through the use of magic items. A typical example is the wand, which is a symbol of the magician. However, magic items are not the only way to enhance offensive magic. For example, when using fire-based offensive magic, oil is sprinkled beforehand.

Mr. Domas, who was in charge of Miya's examiner, first explains on the blackboard how to strengthen offensive magic.

Mya and the other 5th level magicians seated in the classroom took notes of what was written on the blackboard and listened to what was being said.

The first lesson of the morning was on "Conditions for strengthening and weakening offensive magic" by Domas.

This is a very basic lesson that every student at the school must take.

Therefore, Quone, who had originally qualified as a 4th level magician, did not need to take this class. She is merely sitting next to her friend Miya, who is taking the class.

Incidentally, here is a brief explanation of the ranks set by the Six Principality Academy of Magic.

1st class--A magician who can handle the tactical class; 1st class.

2nd level: Semi-1st level, capable of destroying offensive magic chants.

3rd level: Cannot discard the chanting of offensive magic, but can shorten the duration of a chant.

4th level: A magician of general ability recognized by the school.

5th level: Apprentice magician.

That's all.

Miya has only been at the academy for a short time and is still considered a 5th level magician.

However, thanks to her experience as an adventurer and her hard work, her actual ability is at a higher level than even the 4th level.

This level is only a guide.

To move up from 5th to 4th level, you need to take an examination at the school, but beyond that, if you fulfill the required conditions and actually prove it in front of the examiner, you will be qualified.

If you qualify for the first level, you will receive scouts from all over the world.

Next, I would like to talk about the conditions for weakening offensive magic. I'll use fire magic again, for example, if you do it near a body of water..."

Domas' talk continues, and the students take the lesson seriously.

Lunch is again taken in the cafeteria.

This is the busiest time in the cafeteria.

The morning and evening hours are taken up considerably, but lunch is shorter than those two hours.

Therefore, it is an unspoken agreement that students eat in a hurry and leave their seats.

The menu is always pasta and soup.

If they did not like it, they would go out on the street and eat at a food stall or a restaurant.

The afternoons are reserved for voluntary training.

Students could train with each other.

Or they could pursue their own research.

You can take a break and sleep in the dormitory.

Most students study magic on their own.

Some students go out of town to earn money by imitating adventurers.

Mya and Quone are .......

They asked, "Mr. Domas, can we put this stuff in the warehouse?"

'Ummm, in the warehouse, please. And while you're at it, please move the targets for offensive magic to the test site, Mya.

I can't believe I put Saint Mya in charge of the heavy lifting. ......

'Quone, as I said this morning, I'm confident in my strength, so I'll be fine.

In Domas' lab, Mya and Quone were forced to imitate assistants who were in charge of miscellaneous chores.

Since Mya was admitted on Domas' recommendation, she is treated as his graduate student in terms of faction.

He, too, would be grateful for help with chores, so when he needs a hand in the afternoon, he calls on people like Mya.

In a manner of speaking, there is an advantage on the part of Mya and her colleagues.

They get access to the latest research, plus they can use the lab's experimental equipment if they get permission from Domas.

Also, if there is a good part-time job available, they may be approached through Domas.

The network of contacts is an asset.

Putting aside Quone's concerns, Miya lifted one of the crates.

Saint Mya, I'll carry it too!

Thank you, Quone. I can handle this one on my own, so could you bring me the box with the rolled up paper in it?

I'll take care of it. I can spare this much.

Quone has less arm strength than Mya.

Mya is concerned about her and guides her to hold the lightest object.

Quone does not seem to notice and obediently carries the luggage.

After putting the luggage away in the warehouse, she moved the target of the attack magic to the test site according to the instructions of Domus.

And so the afternoon passes.

At night, after finishing dinner, I went to the bath according to time.

The Six Principality Magic Academy has a bath.

Cleaning is left to the janitorial staff, but the job of pouring hot water is popular among the students as a good part-time job.

Miya and Kuone are assigned to take a bath at a set time, and afterwards they are free to do as they please.

Many of the students in the women's dormitory bring snacks and chat in the common room.

They call people over to their private rooms to have confidential conversations, or continue their research as usual.

Miya uses this free time to make potions.

However, making potions is not her main job.

Quone calls out to Miya from her double-decker bed.

Mya, we are about to run out of the herbs we need to make the potion, aren't we?　If you want, we can go back and pick some more on our next day off."

I guess so. I think I'm going to run out soon. Then let's go out of town on our next vacation."

I can't wait to go on an adventure outside with Saint Mya.

Adventure is just going outside the city to pick medicinal herbs, fruits for sale, and mushrooms.

Mya found Quone's comment funny and responded with a laugh.

Mya's main source of income is going out as an adventurer on her days off to gather medicinal herbs, fruits, mushrooms, and mosses to sell.

She copies the illustrated books in the library of the Six Principality Magic Academy and checks in advance which items are hard to identify but have monetary value.

They go outside the city to pick medicinal herbs to use in making potions.

The price of this gathering is surprisingly not ridiculous.

It is difficult for the average adventurer to tell the difference, and there is a lack of information on the environment in which the herbs are grown.

Many of the students at the same magic academy as Miya and her friends are basically wealthy.

The poorer ones were mostly introduced to part-time jobs by the teachers, or to making magic items, or to fighting monsters with offensive magic when they went out of town as adventurers.

Of course, if they could afford it, they would take a day off to rest their bodies and spirits and enjoy chatting with Quone and other friends.

"Oh ...... but this time of year can be a bit scary ......"

Quone-chan?"

Unsure of the intent of her line, Mya reflexively turned and looked at Quone.

Quone explained, her eyebrows furrowed with anxiety.

She said, "You see that goddess cult building near the slum to the north?　That is where the "Witch of the Giant Tower" has recently been located, deep underground in the "Abyss," the world's largest, strongest, and worst dungeon. All countries should cooperate with the heroes to defeat the Giant Tower Witch. Saint Mya is the saint of the "Giant Tower Church" in the "Giant Tower Town". If she is in the city, she should stay away from the North Slum, but if she comes face to face with the believers of the Goddess Church outside, she might be attacked. ......

You're overthinking this, my dear Quone. No one knows about the "Giant Tower Church" as a minor religion, let alone inside the "Giant Tower Town.

Saint Mya, you can't call your religion minor anymore!

No, I don't approve of it yet, okay?"

Mya butts in, but Quone puffs out one cheek and starts preaching.

Thus ends their day at the Six Principality Magic Academy.

--And then, Quone's bad premonition comes true.
