Today’s result was one win and one loss.
It’s a very disappointing result for a mission that requires consecutive victories, but considering the string of losses before that, it makes me think that I’m pretty good at what I do.
I headed to Professor Tia’s office to report on my results and to discuss my future plans. I still can’t decide whether it’s really a good idea to rely on her, but she is a teacher, so she should be familiar with routes that students can’t handle.
I arrived at an old mansion that stood alone in the woods. It’s still hard to get to, far away and troublesome.
Hmm? The shadow of a person right next to the building.
When I peeked in, a silver-haired ponytail fluttered around.
“Iris, what are you doing here?”
“Hart. As you can see, I’ve been training in magic.”
To me, it looked like an exercise in beating up an enemy…….maybe a self-reinforcing magic check or something like that.
“Just as well. If you’ve got the time, you can talk to me about it……….No, I’m sorry. I didn’t think you didn’t like it that much.”
I gave her a blatantly disgusted look. Feeling a little guilty, I walk up to Iris.
”Even if you talk to me about it, I don’t know much about magic, okay?”
In fact, you know better than Iris, who is at the top of the writing list.
“You can use magic even better than I can, even though your level of magic is extremely low. If you’ve got a knack for it, let me know.”
“There’s no such thing! It’s a pity that I have to shun them, but in my case, the barrier magic is just too special.”
“I’ll be watching you anyway, so do something.”
I’m not sure what’s going to happen when I see it, but in the meantime, I’ll think of some appropriate advice.
Iris self-reinforcing and started doing some sort of shadow karate.
It’s a flowing movement. There is no waste. But, I have no idea what I’m actually talking about. However, it’s beautiful, I guess.
On the other hand, I was sure I could handle it in plenty of time.
It must be a harsh reality for her to want to be strong.
Hmmm, what do I do?
I can’t just stare blankly at it.
I stick the “Crystal of Mija (Improved Version)” on my eyeball and observe it. But, this one doesn’t have any functions other than knowing the magic level and attributes.
She has all the attributes, but her current magic level is only [5] against her maximum magic level [35]. It’s not a level that she can attend this academy.
And she hasn’t gone up from 【5】 at all, and is in what is generally called a ‘closed level’.
Why would such a phenomenon happen?
I can’t help but feel that Professor Tia was saying ‘modern magic is impossible, but ancient magic may be able to ‘open up’ again’, but if we don’t know the cause of the problem in the first place, it’s impossible.
I’m not sure what the cause is…….the cause?
–Jijiji.
A strange noise sound was heard. A sharp pain in the back of my head. What, what…? Something seemed to be growing dimly from Iris’ back……….
“Hart, how did it go? Some advice–what’s the matter with you? Sweating like hell.”
“What?”
I didn’t know I was sweating. I put my hand to my forehead and it’s definitely sticky.
“I’m sorry, I know you’re not feeling well, but I put you through the ringer. Why don’t you go down to the lab and get some rest.”
Nothing came out of Iris’s back as she bent her head down.
“Iris, would you please stand there and close your eyes?”
“eah? Um … are you okay?”
“Yeah, no worries. I just want to check in with you.”
“I’ve never seen you so serious. Okay, here we go.”
Iris relaxed and stood, quietly closing her eyes.
“Focus your consciousness on the inside. Stay that way for a while.”
This is just stalling. There was no point.
I walked behind her and stared at her back. Jeez.
My brain was throbbing and aching. But, I didn’t care, I kept watching. I was starting to get excited.
And what is that?
What had been fuzzy earlier was now clearly and clearly visible.
They were tubes.
There were countless tubes that looked like thin earthenware pipes growing out of the back of Iris. There were thirty-five of them, and only five of them were stretched out and connected to the ground.
35 and 5.
I’m sure of it. This tube represents the magic level, and the portion connected to the ground is the current magic level.
But, then I somehow understood why Iris’ magic level didn’t go up.
Of the thirty that are interrupted in the middle, one is longer than the others. However, it was tangled like a vine in the five that connected to the ground.
Probably long enough to stick to the ground if I stretched it straight.
I tried to touch it with my hand.
It slipped through and I couldn’t touch it. Maybe, but not in this time and space.
“Hart? How long do you think this should last?”
“More. Deeper, more inward focus.”
“Uh-huh.”
I can’t touch it with my hands. So, I tried warding the tangled tubes.
It worked. But, it’s like a crack in my head.
I can’t stop it from getting here.
I carefully untied the tube, which was tangled up like a vine, and – with a jolt – Iris’ body jumped. That’s the moment the tip of the tube was attached to the ground.
And then 17 of the tubes that had been extending to the middle began to grow and pierce the ground.
”Guh, aaaaahhhhh!”
Iris exclaimed loudly.
Oh no, I might have done something weird!
When I held Iris in my arms, she was sweating profusely. It looks like water was sprayed on me. You’re not wearing any underwear, are you? You can see the tip of it through. Not that!
“Hey, you okay?”
It’s not okay to look at, but that’s all I could say.
And there.
“Yeah, it’s a magic runaway. It happens sometimes when you push your magic beyond its limits, but it didn’t look like that right now. What did you do, Hart-san, what did you do?”
Professor Tia, who appeared out of nowhere (or rather, has been hiding and spying on us since a while ago), flew over to check on Iris’ condition.
”I’ll return with a question because I’m calm, but is Iris okay?”
“It’s a mild case. Iris-san, I hope you’re awake.”
“Oh, yeah. I’m just surprised, that’s all. But, this is……”
Right after Professor Tia and I nodded our heads.
“I’m up to my magic level…”
Not in a questioning way, Iris assured him so.
Hmmm, is it possible to feel the magic level when it goes up? I’ve never experienced this since I was at max level from the beginning.
But, well, you’re right. This guy’s current magic level is now 23. It also matches the number of tubes connected to the ground.
Iris opened her eyes, looked at me in disbelief, and released a question in a trembling voice.
“Hart, did you do this…?”
“No, no, Iris. You have conquered yourself.”
I’m the one who says something like that and acts like it. But–
“But still, because of your– because of Haruto’s advice…”
Dabba dabba, tears streaming down. But, you know what?
“Thank you! Thank you so much, Haruto!”
I don’t understand. She just grabbed me out of the blue. You’re squeamish and powerful.
I can’t pull off the sobbing Iris, and my back is tapped.
Eyes to the side. And a little further down. There.
“So, why don’t you tell us more?”
The smirking little girl with a smirk on her face told me this with her eyes, shining behind her glasses with a squeaky clean look.
