Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 547

Contrary to what we initially thought we would be able to move to our next destination right away, the schedule was delayed and our departure was delayed by about three more days.

It wasn’t that something bad happened that delayed it. Rather, rumors about a series of incidents that occurred in Leitor and the corrosive body spread, and the forces supporting the church increased, so variables were created, so it was close to a good thing.

“The Demon Lord’s Army is moving in a point organization and is pressuring the supporters of the Church. It’s best for us to avoid a fight as much as possible, so the story progressed to make a decision after looking at the information we hear a little more.”

It was a good thing for us as well as for the Human Alliance as we had no choice but to divide our limited forces.

During that time, all I did was eat, sleep, shop, and listen to Emmet’s special lecture.

At first, even that was a class anyway, so Emmit came to the place designated as my room and strongly insisted that I should do it. ended up

Unlike me, who barely managed to hold back a laugh while watching his unusual appearance, which gave off an atmosphere of comprehension, Emmet thought about it with a very serious attitude, then casually threw a question.

“I understand the concern for the safety of the hero, but isn’t it a little… overprotective?”
“Sir Emmet can say that because he doesn’t know what the high-ranking clergy of the church, including me, felt at the time.”
“How can a wizard understand the priest’s feelings, how was it?”

‘He’s saying things for granted.’ Unlike Emmett, who calmly asked, the saintess replied with a straight face in an instant.

“Even when I heard that there was a high possibility that Seongchang Esthe’s ego had practically disappeared, it was so serious that I couldn’t even pay attention.”
“……oh.”
“Do you understand now?”

Emmett replied with a look on his face. Oh, that’s about it…

I did too.

Oh, that was about it.

I believed that there was a glimmer of hope because I expressed it as affectionately as possible, and I thought that I hadn’t smashed the wall with my horns, but there was a completely different reason, and I thought it was me. It seems that he kept quiet and kept quiet out of patient consideration.

I wondered what kind of condition it was in that even the extinction of Sacred Song Esthe was postponed, but at the same time, there were things I was afraid to ask, so I decided to use class as an excuse to avoid mentioning it this time.

“Then… Shall we test how far our employers know?”

There wasn’t even a book that could be called a textbook, but Emmett started the lecture all too naturally.

At first, from simple things such as the difference between mana, aura, and magical power, to the beginning of the concept of ‘refining’ used only by humans and the magic structure of demons, questions that progressed in an instant, even though I studied pretty hard at the academy, I didn’t know about 30%.

“What is it? I honestly thought that since you’re a human, you wouldn’t know about 70 percent of it. Why do you know so much?”
“An acquaintance named Seneran, who studies magical powers in collaboration with Master, brought me easily obtainable demon literature, so I studied it too. It was roughly the basics, so I don’t know anything beyond that.”

As she was about to explain that she had to rely on smuggling for such information and books in Etis-L, it was quite an effort just to get them, but Emmet, who tilted her head and rolled her eyes from side to side, showed an unexpected reaction.

“…What is Sene? That sloppy human woman wearing glasses?”
“…How do you know?”
“It was famous for being a strange species. The Humans were researching magical powers. I wondered why there were no rumors about it, so it turned out that he wasn’t dead, but was living in the territory of the Humans.”

It seemed that Emmet was often traded with several legs, thanks to having been a good customer who never spared money for research. Seeing that that was already a story from several decades ago, it was fitting that Seneran had lived quite a long time, contrary to what it seemed.

By the way, the golden wizard and the miserable wizard. It’s a combination worthy of being called the golden balance.

“Well, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with understanding this much. Shall we start right away with the dispel you want?”
“… I haven’t even told you yet, how did you know?”
“If a friend who has experienced how a skilled mage uses magic efficiently while competing with me, prepares for dispel, and moves only in her area, confronts the Special Operations Department and suddenly asks me to tell you about magic, what else could there be?”

It’s a natural inference unless you have crazy ambitions to succeed in great magic or martial arts in one day.

Saying that, he unbuttoned the sleeves of his shirt as if it was not a big deal and rolled up his arms.

“Look closely.”

Then, all of a sudden, he starts casting magic.

There was no time to question and want something. It was because the scene captured by the magical poem he had already activated at the beginning of class was so heterogeneous that he understood what he was doing at once.

“Magic is like music. It is to play an instrument called magical power to the score of spells and incantations, and create music called magic.”

Magic was forming at the tip of the wand.

It’s not just made, but compared to normal magic, it’s extremely, very slowly. Although I’ve seen many quick magic casts, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a skill cast that slow, so I couldn’t hide my admiration.

“Then, what are the most basic conditions for making magic more perfect?”
“Uh… practice?”

My answer blew Emmet out this time.

“It’s true, but the most fundamental thing is ‘sheet music.’

Nevertheless, he showed amazing concentration by slowly completing his magic, and bounced his wand with his non-holding hand.

“Dispel is completed by destroying the sheet music. Your unusual ability… It’s close to replacing the notes I tried to write on the sheet music with something else or making it completely unusable. It’s definitely a menacing ability, but a skilled wizard. If you know that fact in advance, you will be sure how to deal with it.”

He could complete a sheet music with only the ‘notes’ he possessed, prepare to complete it immediately, or be so good that he could efficiently use nearby mana to complete magic.

There may not have been another person who destroyed magic in the same way as I did, but Emmet keenly grasped the essence of my ability and even suggested a direction.

“A truly excellent magician randomly damages the entire spell that can be called a score, or conversely destroys it and nullifies it. The easiest example of an elemental series is to add water to a score completed with three words: fire, fixation, and ejection. It’s like cutting it off from the start and adding more flames to make it go wild.”
“…Then you’ll benefit from saving 2 bars of power over the opponent’s caster.”
“It’s the most basic benefit. Ultimately, it leads to the form of completing my magic by dragging the necessary bars or measures from the other party’s sheet music left over from destruction. It consumes less magic power, and casts it faster.”

Hey, I think I made a mistake in choosing my major, Professor.

I never thought I would need a number fight that would make my head dizzy just by listening to it. It wasn’t just that I was scared, but I only thought that I could really do it, so I made a confused expression, and Emmet, who didn’t miss it, continued the conversation while still casting magic leisurely.

“Don’t be so intimidated. You’ve already learned the level of basic formulas, so it’s just an advanced process. It’s difficult and esoteric at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll find rules here again. After all, magic is like a collection of carefully structured rules. ”
“…Even if that’s the case, then where on earth can wizards read the traces of their opponent’s magic? Dispelling takes place even in a special environment like a battlefield where it’s hard to hear and match the opponent’s chant.”

It is said that I can see the flow of magic as much as I want, but this is a special case to the last. Right now, even Master had to use a special magic to get a glimpse of the mana, so even if there were people who could directly see the flow, only a few would be able to do it.

“That’s why wizards must have good eyes, ears, mental arithmetic, and memory. There are cases where they use auxiliary magic or receive help from magic tools before going into battle.”

Emmett, who answered with a pleasant smile as if he had anticipated my question, added that high-level skills such as shortened chanting and double chanting were so important.

“Then, what about martial arts?”
 
It was the first time in my life that I had a special lecture specializing in dispel, so I listened with interest, and I suddenly remembered Ragnis and asked an additional question.

It was only shown once at the Imperial Academy, but Ragnis had definitely succeeded in voiding it. It’s also very effective. Emmett, who opened his eyes wide for the first time at the question, recalling how everyone admired the clean attack that made him wonder if he had used magic tools, scratched his head and said calmly.

“Of course, there is that too… but don’t you need to keep that in mind? Spells used without chanting are very basic, and at best, they are classified as beginners. Rather than worrying about dispelling, it’s better to block them with protective magic. It’s more efficient. Rather, it’s like giving information that you’re a wizard talented enough to be able to use it, so you wouldn’t use it even if you could use it?”
“How much does it mean to be classified as a beginner?”
“It’s very ambiguous… to start small flames, to shoot, to make and shoot ice awls the size of fingers, or something like that?”
“…can’t people fly?”

It was after hearing my last question that Emmet’s eyes changed as he answered as if he wanted to sell his worries. Emmett, who had paused for a moment to see what he was thinking, responded by quickly completing the magic he had deliberately delayed.

“If that’s possible, he’s a very dangerous mage with an unpredictable category of talent.”

The flames that blazed at the end of the wand that was completed like that somehow reminded me of Ragnis’s hair.
