50 Episode 49: What Seeks Magic (Part Ii)
"Gakun shut up for a while. I don't mind teaching magic. Of course, you shouldn't talk too much out of it. Because the way I think is still heretical. That's in mind."
"Yes!"
Miss Halfis replies well. That's a good reply. Marion, who's nodding next door, also has a good look on his face. Gakun... I don't know.
"It's just that magic isn't like an answer to figuring out how to make magic work. Instead, perhaps we should call it magic."
The truth is that magic science uses the knowledge of "science" of previous life. It's abbreviated magic. But I'm sure I'm going to learn magic, so I also think it's right to say magic.
"They say that magic is a fairly worn opinion compared to magic classes, spirituality and theology, which are mainstream in the Kingdom of Palettia. Theology attaches importance to prayer and faith in the Spirit, but in magic I want those perspectives off if I can."
"Off point of view, is it?
"It's magic to figure out what's actually happening. So don't stop thinking because I prayed strongly for the process until magic was activated, or because it was a miracle given to me by God or the Spirit. That's the first entrance to magic."
Question things. And unravel the laws of the world to be your own. Simply put, that's the thing. Demonic props are also demonstrations and by-products of that knowledge.
So I don't want you to stop thinking. I want you to keep questioning me. That becomes the first entrance to magic. The questioning begins all the questioning.
"Then what can we do to dispel the doubt? We have to gather information. But what kind of information do we need? In order to gain knowledge, we have to gain the perception that is a prerequisite."
"Is information important?"
"Yeah. Shall we talk about something like that? Suppose I have three apples. I took this one at a time. I mean, there are three people who gave them apples. How many apples did you give me if the information about the number of people you gave me and the number of people you gave me was missing from this story? I wonder how many apples you got from who? You're not gonna know, are you? There could be one person who gave him the apple, maybe two. But there will never be more than three. Pick up the possibilities, squeeze the options out of them and look for answers. It's been a rough explanation, but I want you to think this is the basics of doing it in magic."
The more I look at you listening to me, the more I nod and think. Gakun had his arms together and his neck tilted.
"No, but there were three people who gave the apples to Master Anisphere, so you gave them one at a time, didn't you?
"... that's what I know because I gave you proper premise information, and it starts by looking for that" information "to figure out my doubts."
"Hard!"
He says he's trying to explain it as plainly as he can, but if he's gagged. Ugh.
"I mean, it's a hole filling problem."
"Hole filling?"
"I just know the answer. Then how do we make a ceremony to get that answer? I received three apples as a result. If I add the information on the person who gave them to me and the number of pieces they gave me, that would mean I received three apples, right?
"... oh! If there were two of those holes, would one of them have only one apple!
"That's right. Maybe the" process "leading up to it is different, even if it looks like the same answer. That's how it's important to verify over and over again."
Well, if it's as easy as the story goes, I'm not having a hard time either. That's the infinite number of possibilities if you line them up. Crushing that possibility and deriving only the right answers is an uninterrupted effort.
Still, with the gathering of knowledge and experience, we will also be able to derive answers by intuition. But sometimes I can't find it even though the experience is a simple thing to pull my leg on, so good and bad depends on the time and the circumstances.
"That's why I looked into it. The process leading up to the consequences of my inability to use magic. Is the question" magic "? Then what's" magic "made of? Who's generating magic? Spirit, right? Then the Spirit must also be examined. Look, there's so much to look into. So don't stop questioning me. You can't drown in doubt, though."
"That leads to Her Royal Highness Princess Anisphere's spiritual theory..."
"Miss Halfis, you have a hard attitude. Ennis is fine. I'll call it off, too."
"Huh? Ah, if that's what Her Royal Highness Princess Anisphere says..."
Even though it's a relationship that I have to teach you a lot from now on, it's hard for me to do it even if you respect me weirdly. Gakun's attitude is rather easy-going in that sense, but he still looks like smoke coming out of his head, so it offsets it and is a negative rating.
"What do you mean Halfis can't use magic well?
"… I'm less apt, and I'm a little above the evaluation criteria."
"Mmm. I wonder if it's the body of magic that the Spirit doesn't like... maybe it's close to me"
"Do you have the magic that the Spirit prefers?
"For convenience, I'm just saying that. They say you can communicate all this. You won't know until the Great Spirit gives you testimony. In the hypothesis at the moment, magical aptitude fluctuates depending on whether the Spirit is doing the magic of his choice. Some magic is not liked at all by spirits, like me, and others are of such a physical nature that any spirits, like Yufi, will like them."
"Physique...... can't I change that anymore?
Halfis asks me with his glaring eyes, but I shake my neck left and right to deny it.
"I guess you can't. Magic, or what is the source of magic, fills the soul. I define this as like solid blood. Magic power is zero blood out of your soul, so it's already unique to that person. I can't replace this first. I don't have the means to degenerate it."
"Has Master Anisphere tried that perversion?
"Hmm... I guess I would have done it if I wanted to quit humans"
In other words, a familiar example of perversion is Raini, a vampire. If it changes so much from the nature of existence, I might be able to use magic, too. I'm just not sure I can stay who I am with that. Similar bridges were crossed.
"... you can't increase your magical aptitude if you're not ready for that."
"It's not like you can have more in the first place. Because spirits can eat too much magic and get sick. Sometimes when the balance between soul and magic breaks down, it can make your mind and spirit sick."
Marion sitting next to Halfis peeks into Halfis's face worryingly. Halfis has a pretty thoughtful look on his face, so that complex looks pretty deep-rooted.
I wonder if I should be relieved that you relied on me before you stepped off the road. Gakun uttered a voice of doubt when he thought so.
"Is that it? But Dear Anisphere, you can use physical enhancement. How is that?
"It's ready to be used with products like demonic props. I'm just not going to spread the word because it's risky. It's inhumane as being forgiven for doing it to yourself."
"... did you even put your hands on that thing?"
"I can't use magic unless I get my hands on it. You don't have a choice. That's why I'm not going to let people imitate me. Then I'll tell them to go down the road to develop their magic tools."
The engraving was donned to Yuffi. And Ilia, your father and your mother are furious with you. Whatever you are, I don't think you should treat someone else. Really.
So I'll smile gently at Marion, who's looking a little pale. Don't worry, I won't let Halfis do that.
"... I don't dislike it, but I don't know what it feels like to have" aptitude "in the first place. What does that feel like?
Uffi raises his hand and speaks. The gaze of everyone who was here gathers in Ufi. That was a pretty delicate statement, but I sure as hell never cared about the difference between what I felt when I used Yuffi's magic.
"What is it? Not responding?
"Not responding, is it?
"Even if you chant in prayer or wish, that's just a word, isn't it? Even if they put prayer and thoughts on it, it feels like. 'Cause how do you tell me to grab something I'm not responding to?
"Is that what Anis feels like? What about the others...?
"... not that I'm not responding."
It was Raini who spoke on behalf of Ufi. Raise your hands with a snack and Raini speaks his opinion too.
"In my case, does it feel like there's a difference in weight? If it's an aptitude attribute, I can help if I push it, but if it's another attribute, I don't think so..."
"Is it that different?
"Yes. Somehow the magic street is bad. So they take the magic to activate it, and it's best to shape it."
"I understand! I'm a similar perception!
Halfis snorts heavily at Raini's opinion. If I was next door, I could have taken those two hands and probably waved.
"In that regard, you were surprised because the magic props are so magical and easy to use,"
"Maybe that's because it's magic that's been done since the beginning. It's been in shape since the beginning, so I don't think there's any" extra information "to make it in the form of magic."
"... complete from the beginning? No extra information? Dear Anis, may I ask you a little more about that story!?"
"Huh? Ugh, yeah"
Halfis has gained a lot of momentum and now he's eating at me. With a little confusion, I decided to mouth the hypothesis that had just surfaced.
"I am consciously making magic props in the form of tools and so that they do not become versatile so that mass production is easy. For example, you have magic that makes blades out of magic, right? All that magic needs is a blade, but you're gonna have to figure out what's gonna happen to that blade handle part or something, right? But with the magic props, I even prepared a" sword pattern ", and all I had to do was put out a blade. I could afford to use magic to change the quality of the blade."
By analogy, "magic" is a full scratch that can pack as many features as the skill of the surgeon allows.
"Demon Props" has been shaped from the beginning and all you have to do is assemble a template.
Although magic can change its shape as you wish, it requires the ability of the person.
Demonic props have been shaped from the beginning, but there are few parts that depend on the user's abilities.
"I wonder if many who do not have the aptitude should extremes one magic."
"... oh, you have a real example of that"
"... who?
"I'm the queen. Master Sylphine has only the aptitude of the wind, but that is the only person who has risen to the top."
Oh, speaking of which, yes. If it was in that field, you would have had a mother to call Superman. So much so that they say that if you let the wind magic handle you, no one will go out to the right. I hear other attributes are a tease.
Speaking of which, the story deviated from the magic prop, but what's the magical feeling that Uffi, with his numerous spiritual aptitudes, uses?
"How does Uffi feel about using magic?
"... is it a puzzle"
"Puzzle?"
"Yep. I'm not sure the pieces are set, but should I start by making the magic pieces that I want to complete, and then say it feels like collecting them and shaping them?"
"The feeling of assembling a puzzle even though you haven't decided on a piece? Not painting or something?
"Drawing, is not the same again. It has shape, but do you say it doesn't? Shape and activate magic…"
I'm sorry, I just don't know. Unexpectedly, I'll look at all the faces besides Uffi, but they're all shaking their necks left and right. I mean, nobody seemed to sympathize with Yufi's senses.
"In the first place, I don't know what that puzzle feels like"
Don't look at him with your eyes at strange things, Raini.
"Oh, but I know it has shape, but it doesn't. … I don't know the puzzle"
You're failing to try to follow me, Halphis.
"I can empathize with gathering.... I don't know why that would be a puzzle though. Am I a good place, a building block?"
Don't make similar mistakes between fiancées, Marion.
"Master Uphilia, something's wrong with you?
Hey, Gakun! Yufi's hurt and she's dented! Apologize! It's surprisingly delicate that you don't seem to move, Yufi!
"Uh, maybe it's a difference in the amount of information"
"Amount of information?
"For example, if you add 1 and 1, it's 2, right?
"Well, yeah"
"I think that's how magic adds information and makes it. Wouldn't Yufi be good at sensing that information? Though I don't know if everyone with a lot of aptitudes does, or if it's Yuffi's unique feeling."
It was an interesting story because I had never looked at the difference in the senses of people who use magic. Let's keep a note in our minds.
Then Halfis, who had his hand on his chin to somehow contemplate, looked up with a serious look. That gaze is directed straight at Uffi.
"Dear Uphilia, may I ask you a question?
"Yes, what is it?
"How far can Uphilia make that feeling easy?"
Uffi tips his neck to Halfis's question. It's like saying you couldn't read the intent of the question.
"Uh... briefly?
"If you say it in the sense of Master Uphilia... can you assemble magic with an unlimited number of pieces of the puzzle?
"That's possible, of course. For example, there are few pieces of puzzle required for the initial magic that is taught at the college."
"That's it! Perhaps what Ennis calls" volume of information "is the number and complexity of what Uphilia calls" pieces "!
"Yeah. Well, you know what?"
The "information" that makes up magic, I guess that's the "piece of puzzle" where Uffi says it feels like assembling magic.
If it's simple magic, its terms get easier and easier. The puzzle is not complicated, and the number of pieces is decreasing. That's a natural story.
"I hear Master Uphilia has many aptitudes!
"Oh, yeah..."
"For example, can you return the same magic as your opponent?
"... if they say it's possible or impossible, it depends on its magical accuracy, but it's possible. But the same magic makes a difference with the user, right?
"That" difference "is the magic" unnecessary information "!
Continue as quickly as Halfis got excited. Gakun finally sprayed smoke from his head.
Raini is also tilting his neck. Spraying smoke like Gakun may also be a matter of time.
Marion appears to be lagging in his thoughts with his hands on his chin. She looks just like her fiancée to the trick and smiles a little.
"The magic anyone can use is made of natural stories, simple information. If the difficulty increases, so will the information. And magic is built with a sense of the operator. Isn't that the kind of information you don't need to get the magic results?
"... if you say it from that point of view, there's even an extra element of what Yufi said about" the power of the surgeon ". Organize the process for generating a phenomenon called magic. I mean, I can optimize.
"Doesn't that mean it's no different than a demon prop!?"
Halfis says as excited. The word was a shock to me. This kid feels something shiny.
"Demonic props are aids to activate magic into" determined shapes from the beginning "! Then, magic, if the user can be fully aware of the aid until it is activated...!
"It does make the theory that anyone can produce the magic they're after. If they say it's obvious, yes, but what have you found in pursuit of this obvious? Halphis."
I get interested in what she's trying to find out by reconfirming this fact.
"I have no more magical aptitude or skill than Master Uphilia. Even if you try to make the same magic, it makes a difference between the operators. So can we gather that information and find the" most efficient form "? You don't just pray, you clearly determine the shape! Yes, fit in the mold! Easier than now, and more elaborate! Wouldn't Master Uphilia be able to assemble that!?"
"... me, is it?
Yufi has her eyes round Halfis telling her to roll it up. I couldn't stand the laughter coming up next to it.
"If you say so, magic formula," magic formula, "I guess. It's also a magical blueprint."
"Now the attitude towards magic in this country is supposedly drawing strength from the Spirit from prayer, desire, and deep faith. That's why faith and respect are important."
That's it, then Halfis shakes his neck left and right as he exhales deeply to get his breath ready once.
"But there is no will in the Spirit if you say so in Dear Annis's Spiritual Theory. This means that the magic is activated after receiving prayers and wishes with uncertainty. Still, magic activates, so it's not a mistake, but then it's natural for the operator to make a difference."
"If the operator's perception is going to be magic, I think Halfis is right."
"That's why we reassemble a clear image. Rebuild magic theory to optimize magic. Simple magic. Easier, so that everyone has a common image. Isn't that where aptitude and skill come alive for the first time? Even if you make magic like a magic prop, magic is not a magic prop. Because it's what the surgeon thinks it can build."
Control magic with the perception of clearer laws, not wishes or prayers. The itinerary of doing an image remains the same, but I wonder if I could say that its contents are something else.
"Yeah, but I don't deny faith or prayer, do I? I think that's important, too."
"Yes! I don't want to forget to thank or awe the Spirit either! But it's, it's this!
Look at my face. With a full smile, Halfis says. It's like a flower blossoms.
I'm a little surprised. It absorbs too quickly. The softness and focus of her head, the rotation of her thoughts, have an eye-opening object.... Isn't this amazing talent?
"... Ufi. Why don't you just try?
"Huh?"
"Uffi makes a ceremony called magic." Redesign "the magic you have now. The blueprint is drawn by Ufi to spread to the country. What do you say?"
"... can I do that?
"No, if Master Uphilia doesn't do it, who can! If you are the Uphilia, who has been hailed as a rare genius with no example in history!
"Isn't it funny to have Halfis or Marion on that assistant? Wouldn't the Ministry of Magic say strongly if it was a magic reform? Well, you just have to think about it. Even after I became king."
If I or Uffi become king, we can get a position to change the country. It shouldn't be too late for that.
I create magic props, and Yufi creates magic ceremonies. That was a fun future prospect if you think it might lead to helping each other with their ideas.
Uphilia was wandering her gaze as if she were somewhere frightened. He seemed relieved of the sudden. But it was an idea and a suggestion I couldn't make. I knew there was nothing I could do about magic.
"... I don't know what you're talking about! What do you mean?!?"
"... Gah, are you actually an idiot?
"Actually, I don't like to think deeply about anything!
Where I say confidently, there!? On the contrary, you're clean!? I'm dazzled by the smile I showed you my teeth!?
"Um, I mean, is it okay that little difficult magic gets easier?
"It's just possible, I don't know if it's gonna happen."
"Ho. Well, you've noticed something amazing about Halfis."
"What!? Oh really...? I just had a lot of worries about magic..."
I wave left and right and humble myself like Halfis panicked at Gakun's words.
It's easy to say that you may have noticed because that's all you've been sincerely up against magic. Still, I think it's amazing to listen carefully to people and realize for yourself that it can be assembled as a theory.
"Talent like Halfis is what I want"
"Huh...? What does that mean?
"Want to come to Uffi's assistant? Seriously."
"Are you my assistant?
"I'm probably going to be out of expertise over there. Then you're Yuffi's assistant."
When I said that, Halfis made his eyes black and white and hardened. Marion is gently slapping Halfis on the shoulder like that.
Seeing Marion's face like that, Halfis quickly corrected his residence by gently rubbing his eyes once where he distorted his expression to cry.
"Uh... I can't respond to you if you suddenly say that. And now there's a king's life, isn't there?
"That's right. There is no clarification of the Spirit Contract, but there are few materials with objective facts that describe the material of the Ministry of Magic..."
"... No, there may be"
"Huh?"
It was Marion with a difficult look who answered my blur.
"Yeah, but I've already looked through a lot of Ministry of Magic material. You still have it?
"No. If it's just possible... it's forbidden"
I frowned unexpectedly at the words Marion uttered.
"What do you see?
"... a book forbidden by the Ministry of Magic to stay out of national policy, right? Kind of when I was an adventurer."
Prohibition that if you go out into the world, you can even be punished. As a matter of fact, I've read some research material on the opening of vampires, and it's a forbidden book category. That's what I got in my adventurer days and read in hiding. Now I've already given it to the guild.
I've heard that if you find out you possess it, you can take it up with the state. Sure, I know it's possible if it's a ban, but where do you say you can see that ban?
"Shall we explore it a little?
"Huh?"
"I belong to the Ministry of Magic, too. I can't get my hands on it if it's burned, but it could be if it's stored together somewhere."
"I appreciate that, but of the royal family, isn't that a lot of resistance from the Ministry of Magic if I try to see that?
"I will use my position to stand around there... because I am grateful to Princess Anisphere. It's been a long time since I've seen Halfis smile from his heart. Then I want to do what I can."
Marion stares at me with that and a serious look. That was a look that made me feel ready.
Still feel hesitant. If you hit him badly, you could jeopardize Marion's position.
"Then why don't you ask the Knights if I have a forbidden book or something suspicious like that?"
"Hey to the gut! Or stand up and don't do that!? It's dangerous!?"
"Aren't you cunning that all Halfis and Marion are helping! There's no place for me!
"Not from the beginning!
"Terrible!"
Marion is dismissed anyway, dismissed! I hope you don't move with such ease that you skip such a dangerous bridge.
"Well, well, Gurk. I'm not going anywhere near dangerous, either. Besides, it's the Ministry of Magic's job to control the forbidden books. I'm doing this because I'm sure I won't get suspicious."
"Uhm... but I don't know"
"... Ah. Then I need a favor from Gakun."
"Please?"
"Do you know Navru-kun, the son of the Kingsguard Knights leader?
"Oh, Master Navre. What's wrong with Master Navre? I hear you're in a cage from that one."
You're not being prudent, you're a drag, are you, Navre? Did you set up too much moxibustion...? I'm getting more concerned. And the best people are here.
"I was wondering if you could take a look at how things are going?... Neither Yufi nor Raini wanted to wake that one up. Navre didn't think about it, but it was Raini's behavior. I've talked about it once, but I thought I might have a chance to start over."
"If Master Anisphere says so, I'll take care of it."
"Oh, because you don't have to interfere weirdly! Because it's just good to keep an eye out for something to flatter you!
"Okay!
That's good.... I'm not a bad person, but if Gakun assumes it too, he's a swine rush. I thought this was your country? I guess it wouldn't taste good if I didn't seriously review the aristocratic college education! Really!
