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 sa poem again.
One difference was that the speed at which he spoke beca faster.
I borrow thy power so touch my hand. Looking down at the sky, the history of achievent, be captured in a mont.
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 ti 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 aning 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 sa for Shirone.
The Power of Incantation
The last whirlwind that was 10 tis more powerful than the first.
Is this the level of the Advanced Class?
Not to ntion, 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 sa ti, sothing hot flared inside him.
I'll definitely reach that position.
The other students seem to have felt the sa 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 up anyti, Ill be happy to help.
Compared to the comfortable way the Interdiate 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.
Through words!
Correct. Because thoughts are made up of words. So in other words, what does this an?
Class 4 was the one who answered.
You can materialize your thoughts.
Yes, exactly that. Whatever you think, you can see it with your own eyes. Now, close your eyes and try. See if you can see your thoughts.
The students who actually tried realized what it felt like to see their thoughts.
If you can see it with your eyes, it ans its real. Thats the main point of Incantation. Incantation mages materialize the words they speak.
Ethella raised her index finger and explained.
The basic system of Incantation magic is simple. Speak and ruminate. Speak and ruminate. They continue to amplify the aning of the words this way and strengthen the magic.
A student from Class 7 asked.
Ms. Ethella, then can we learn Incantation, too?
Ethella smiled.
Would you like to?
Yes. That older brother just now was really cool.
Right. Choosing a major is important. But unfortunately, since Incantation magic is a major, it will not be covered in Interdiate class.
Then how do we strengthen our Spirit Zone? Werent we gonna do it through Incantation?
And that is what I will explain starting now. Incantation is used to increase the power of certain magic. There are countless kinds of magic in the world, and there are also different languages to express that magic. However, the Spirit Zone purely operates through ntality, so theres no need for you to learn linguistic or supersonic techniques.
Ethella paused for a mont and entered the Image Zone.
In order to strengthen your Spirit Zone, a unique concentration thod called the Sequence thod is required. Raise your hand if you have ever counted from 1 to 100 either in your head or through your mouth.
Most of the students raised their hands.
Good. How about 1 through 1,000?
* * *
* * *
Those who lowered their hands looked around.
All of the Class 4 students raised their hands, but only a few from the lower-level classes were seen.
The Sequence thod is literally a technique that expands numbers. Contrary to language, numbers are symbols in the state of axiom. So it shes well with the Spirit Zone.
So youre saying that counting increases concentration?
That is correct. Of course, you cant simply count numbers. That wont do anything. Essentially, its the sa as Incantation. Speak and ruminate. However, In the case of the Sequence thod, you have to think and ruminate. The Sequence thod will not work unless you focus on each and every number individually.
Except for the fact that language was replaced with numbers, it had a similar chanism to Incantation magic.
So thats why we were shown a demonstration first.
Ethellas explanation continued.
The faster the number expands, the stronger the Spirit Zone becos. In other words, all parts such as the probability of a magic being activated and its precision are increased. However, you do have to keep a few things in mind. The Sequence thod is not omnipotent. The Spirit Zone can only really be enhanced through rigorous ntal discipline. So in the future, dont rely too much on technical enhancents. That being said, I will now demonstrate the Sequence thod myself.
After the explanation, Ethella spread out her Spirit Zone but limited it to a diater of about 10 ters for her demonstration.
I will now perform the Sequence thod. I will strengthen the currently visible Spirit Zone with only the Sequence thod. Since this is not an Incantation, I will tell you the expansion of numbers in units and multiples of 10. Lets begin. One.
As soon as Ethella spoke the number, the Spirit Zone visibly grew.
100.
100? Did she just say 100?
Like Incantation, one needed to accurately perceive and recognize each number in order for the Sequence thod to be effective.
Even so, counting to 100 in one second ant that the speed of her number expansion was insanely high.
400.
The students eyes grew to the size of saucers.
Suddenly, Ethella started to accelerate for it took her less and less ti to pass an interval.
1,000. 1,700. 2,400.
Shirone was absolutely stupefied.
No way.
How could a human being count that fast?
It did not even pass 10 seconds, but Ethella technically added 1 1 2,400 tis while also ruminating on it.
As a result, the size of her Spirit Zone swelled into a sphere with a diater of 30 ters.
It was only strengthened using the Sequence thod.
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 seed dim when compared to her abilities.
Did you see? Depending on how quickly you perform the Sequence, the range of its enhancent increases. Since it is only a technique, if the Spirit Zone itself is insufficiently practiced, the thod 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 thod.
Ethella gave advice.
The basis of the Sequence thod 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 imrsing themselves in the Sequence technique.
After expanding the Sequence from 1 to 1,000, Shirone imdiately checked his asured ti.
Took 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-tirs 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 ti 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 an theres a much higher level than that. Is it really possible through just counting numbers? If there is an actual special way
At that mont, a possibility ca to Shirones mind.
The ti fragntation 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 sa ti. I can group individual numbers into units and process them at once.
Shirone did not know this, but what he thought of at that mont was the Concept of Modularity, which was the basic principle of Information magic.
Shirone imdiately 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 montum.
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 sothing 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.
