Chapter 44
The students were stupefied.
G-Get down to business?
They were bewildered because the power Samuel had shown just now was enough to really showcase the power of Incantation magic.
Earth of furor.
Samuel recited the same poem again.
One difference was that the speed at which he spoke became faster.
I borrow thy power so touch my hand. Looking down at the sky, the history of achievement, be captured in a moment.
It was almost frightening how fast he sped up. His words were almost incomprehensible.
Thesacredlandoftheskyexistsinthyheart,andthewillofthemageistoextolandsingsongsofpraiseintheworld!
And finally, a sound that could not be considered as language broke and spread out.
Samuels face distorted terribly while the sound he was creating resembled that of a dolphins cry.
The speed of the incantation seemingly reached its limit.
He recited the phrases that took 2 minutes to complete in 4 seconds.
He cast the magic while clutching his chest.
BOOOOM!
A huge whirlwind with a mixture of dirt and dust soared through the sky.
AAAHH!
The loud shouts of children from the lower classes were heard, and a strong wind swept past their seats.
By the time the dust disappeared, Samuel had a peaceful expression with a soft smile on his face.
After the tinnitus disappeared from the ears of the students, Samuel explained calmly.
That, everyone, was the basis of Incantation magic. Its called Supersonic magic.
It is an indispensable skill in battle. Of course, its not just about speaking fast. It may have been simply a noise to you, but I ruminated over and over the full meaning of the phrases. I think the power of the whirlwind that every one of you has seen serves as proof of that.
As they were still in a daze, nobody replied back, but everyone agreed with Samuels words.
It was the same for Shirone.
The Power of Incantation
The last whirlwind that was 10 times more powerful than the first.
Is this the level of the Advanced Class?
Not to mention, he was the teaching assistant that Ethella chose, so he must have been in the top ranks in the Advanced class.
But regardless, he was still a student.
The thought that Amy was competing with such people made him nervous, but at the same time, something hot flared inside him.
I'll definitely reach that position.
The other students seem to have felt the same way because their eyes looked slightly different from before.
This was the exact reason why Ethella called a teaching assistant.
Good work, Samuel. The students should have picked up a few things. Thank you for following through despite the difficult request.
Not at all, Ms. Ethella. Just call me up anytime, Ill be happy to help.
Compared to the comfortable way the Intermediate class acted around Ethella, Samuel bowed his head politely.
That is the kind of world for mages.
Shirone realized anew who he was taking lessons from.
Once Samuel eventually graduated, he would be a non-certified Grade 10 mage. However, the instructor in front of him was a Grade 6 mage, and a state-certified one at that.
How strong is she, our teacher?
The other students must have registered this fact as well, as even after Samuel left, they were filled with reverence.
Okay, everyone. Did you enjoy the demonstration of Incantation magic?
Yes!
Hearing the louder-than-usual reply, Ethella nodded, satisfied.
The reason why I decided to show you Incantation magic is because its closely related to the strengthening of your Spirit Zone that you will learn about today. Now, do you think you can answer this question? What is the best way to strengthen your thoughts?
The students responded unanimously.
As a result, the size of her Spirit Zone swelled into a sphere with a diameter of 30 meters.
It was only strengthened using the Sequence method.
When the sequence reached 10,000, the Spirit Zone gradually got smaller in size.
Huuu
Her concentration which allowed her to count to 10,000 in one breath proved that she was worthy of her position as the youngest bishop of the Karsis Order.
Shes really amazing. How much do you have to train your mind to reach that level?
The students were shocked. Even Ethellas appearance seemed dim when compared to her abilities.
Did you see? Depending on how quickly you perform the Sequence, the range of its enhancement increases. Since it is only a technique, if the Spirit Zone itself is insufficiently practiced, the method will also be inefficient. However, I think everyone here can use it effectively depending on the situation.
Shirone shouted Eureka.
Thats it!
Shirone found the easiest way for him to use active magic despite his convergent and defensive tendencies.
To strengthen the Spirit Zone using the Sequence method.
Ethella gave advice.
The basis of the Sequence method puts 1 to 1,000 as the standard. Until you get used to it, focus on shortening your reach to 1,000.
After the class was over, the students scattered and started immersing themselves in the Sequence technique.
After expanding the Sequence from 1 to 1,000, Shirone immediately checked his measured time.
Took me 48 seconds.
It was an okay result considering it was his first try.
Most of all, the best part was that he finished counting up to 1,000 without stopping once.
In fact, it was normal for first-timers to lose concentration halfway through.
I have no problem with counting itself. Shall I expand the Sequence further? No, teacher told us to focus on shortening the time it takes us to reach 1,000.
Judging from Ethellas personality, she mustve determined that her previous demonstration was enough for her current class.
The 10,000 mark was just a model. An example. That must mean theres a much higher level than that. Is it really possible through just counting numbers? If there is an actual special way
At that moment, a possibility came to Shirones mind.
The time fragmentation effect that he experienced while crossing the Bridge That Could Not Be Crossed.
Insight. Just as you can count the number of leaves, you can count numbers, but also feel them at the same time. I can group individual numbers into units and process them at once.
Shirone did not know this, but what he thought of at that moment was the Concept of Modularity, which was the basic principle of Information magic.
Shirone immediately started putting it into practice.
Set the module unit to 10, and process the 10 pieces of information contained in that number in an integrated way
10. 20. 30
As he moved forward, savoring the gaps between the numbers using insight, he began to gain momentum.
1,000!
Shirone had arrived at 1,000 much faster speed than before.
Shirone switched his Spirit Zone into Attack Form.
Photon Output!
A strong feeling of something leaving was felt, and a ray of light shot straight towards the forest and stretched far.
Whoa! What is that?!
Strictly speaking, he shot a sphere of light, but in peoples eyes, it looked like a ray of light.
Shirone clenched his fist.
Yes! I did it!
His classmates talked about it amongst themselves.
It's a Photon Output. Is he preparing for the targeting exam?
But why go out of his way to learn that? Isnt it a particularly useless magic? Though maybe hes learning it to set foundations for Information magic?
It doesnt matter because the target in the Image Zone activates upon any kind of magic. It is also said that it can be removed by recovery magic. Besides, it may be advantageous for the exam. Thats honestly super fast, isnt it?
The students nodded.
It was safe to say it had no power, but it was ideal for hitting fast-moving targets.
