CH 367

“The basic principle of transfer magic is that the use of magic power changes depending on whether it is ‘you’ or ‘something else’. It’s actually not that difficult to transfer yourself …… but transferring to a place you don’t know can be dangerous, so don’t just activate it at random.”

“Like, for example, going into stone?”

I raise my hand and ask, and he responds with a puff of cigarette smoke.

“That happens, too. I’d say about one percent of the missing are like that. Others have gone tens of thousands of miles away. But if you use it calmly, it won’t happen.”

“I see …… One more question then. Is it possible to create some kind of transfer magic circle in my house and connect it to my parents’ house?”

“Oh, is that what you want? Of course you can. I’ll tell you how to do that because it’s different. But you’ll have to move yourself first .”

“Ah!”

I was surprised to see Dibit-san’s figure disappear with a grin. The moment I was startled, I was tapped on the shoulder and turned around to see Dibit-san.

“Ohhhhh!”

“This is the basics, you can only fly to places within your field of vision. The only thing special about transfer magic is that it doesn’t have a specific name. The only thing you need to remember is that you need to say some words to give meaning to the words and to make a clear purpose to transfer.”

“What about long distance?”

“For long distance, I say in my case. To be honest, distance doesn’t matter anymore, so it’s like . In addition, the hardest part about long distance transfer is the image. A place like a memory or a home has a strong image in your mind, so those who can transfer within your field of vision can do it.”

According to him, the most important thing is to have a strong image rather than magic power. When I was a kid, Verna-sensei taught me how to make fire, and she said, “Think of fire”, but it takes tens of times more concentration than that. I’ve heard that it consumes a lot of magic power.

“Then the transfer magic circle is–“

I was just about to say that, when Dibit-san laughed at me while crumpling my head.

“Ha-ha-ha! You’re too eager, aren’t you? Let’s start with the ‘short’ one!”

“That’s true too. Alright ……!”

I was taught how to do this and began to practice transfer magic.

In order to move from your point to point A, you must first look for visual information. If you can find something that stands out, that’s fine, but if not, a random rock will do. Next, close your eyes, concentrate, and visualize yourself standing at the point you just left.

When Dibit-san stood behind me earlier, he used me as a landmark.

“Mumu ……”

“When you feel that you have enough magic, say the words and the magic will be released. Then the movement will be complete.”

“……! !”

I chose “leap” as my word. I’ve always had an image of teleportation as “To jump” in my mind. As soon as I say the word, my magic power diminishes, and I feel a different kind of floating sensation from levitation. 

Immediately after, my vision flipped around, and the next thing I knew, I was rolling on the ground.

“Ouch!? That’s nasty tumble …… Huh?”

“Hoh, as expected …… You did it on your first try.”

From a short distance away, Dibit-san walks up to me, nodding. It seems that Iwas able to safely transfer to the vicinity of the weeds that were in sight.

“I guess it worked? But even at this distance, I’m losing a lot of magic power.”

“I think it’s the same as Invisible or a little higher. It looks like you can use Dragonic Blaze, so you must have plenty of magic power? Any wizard in the area would fall to his knees just moving into range of sight.”

“I’ve been working out since I was five years old, after all. But continuous use might be tough. Do you think I’ll be able to recover all my magic and get back to Reflexion’s Gust territory from here? Or rather, what happens if I run out of power on the way?”　

As I stood up, brushing the dust off my face, Dibit lit a new cigarette, exhaled and said to me.

“What is it? Are you low on magic? From what I can tell, it’s a lot.”

“I’m using a lot of it, though. In the daytime, I use auto-protection to shut down the dust and wind as I move around. I use it from morning till noon.”

“…… No way”

“I’m not lying.”

He puts his hand on his chin and starts to think about something when I replied with a pout. After watching him for a while, he scratched his head, threw away his cigarette and put his hand on my shoulder.

“…… Hmph, so this is you exhausted, huh. The [Jack-of-all-Trades], no, it’s ‘Super’, right? It’s a frightening skill, really. Okay, maybe you’ll be able to do a long-distance transfer in a week. Quickly learn how to make the transfer magic circle, so you can learn all of my magic already!”

“Huh!? Why are you a little angry?”

After that, I continued my training in the wilderness, where it was a little cooler than in the daytime, practicing my leaps repeatedly and sometimes watching Makina’s training. It was exhausting to concentrate on anything, so I failed at least once every five times.

But it was still quite fun to be able to teleport …… In the meantime, dawn came and we returned to the village.

I don’t have a lot of time today, so it was short ……!

Thank you for reading!

That’s my line!?
