Episode 7.1-2
"Oh my, what's the matter this early in the morning."
"Let in for a bit."
Shira looked slightly troubled, but Lecan made his way to the work room anyway without minding that. Then he sat on a chair and took a giant magic gem from .
"Ah, that's"
"It's the magic gem of an otherworld dragon, Vurs. Since I plan to go to Golbul Dungeon for the ti being, I was thinking of safekeeping it here."
"Is that so. Sorry that you had to go out of your way for . Well, have so tea now."
Shira moved her finger up, and then a jar on top of a wall shelf ca floating down. That spot is where jars with tea leaves are lined up, but it's the first ti Lecan gets a taste of tea from that particular jar.
Water got boiled in an unbelievably short amount of ti. But now they've got to wait for the temperature to co down just right before putting the tea leaves to soak in slowly. They have to wait for this part the natural way without using magic. In other words, there's ti to spare now.
"Shira, can I use magic without chanting."
"Humm. Chant shortening eh. Let see."
Shira pondered for a bit before speaking.
"You know how knocking flints together will produce fire, right?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you think knocking them together would create fire?"
Lecan slowly states his answer while constructing it in his brain.
"Sparks could be produced if you hit hard objects with each other. Flints are a stone that can easily produce sparks when they're knocked together. As such, it's possible to ignite fire by doing that."
"My, that surprised . Wonderful answer. Your line of thinking is like that of a researcher. Now then, a question, what is hardness? What is knocking things together? What is fire?"
"Hardness is when an object is not soft, can't be easily cut. Knocking things together are when two objects or more are made to hit with each other. Fire is when sothing is burning. No wait, those were more paraphrases than answers."
"Let rephrases my questions then. The flints are inside your body. Your hands can't be used to knock those flints together. Well then, how are you going to create fire?"
"I'll use spell."
"Oh good, good. That's a good answer. But you're not allowed to chant. Now then, how are you going to use spell?"
"...No idea."
"If you want to cast magic without chanting, you have to reproduce all actions that occur when you chant a spell inside your mind. To do that, you have to comprehend the foundations of those actions. How do flints produce fire, once you've traced back and understood the principle behind it, you'll be able to cast magic without chanting."
Jericho ca into the room bringing sothing on a tray with him.
It's baked sweets. Shira put it on a plate and offered it to Lecan.
"Once you have gained mastery on magic, you will eventually get to learn all magic. And it's not about a problem with aptitudes or such anymore. Those who have truly mastered magic understand the foundations of all magic there is. This is different from power of magic and such, you see."
Shira poured tea on two bowls and offered one to Lecan.
"Once you got to that point, you could cast magic that returns the sa results as without chanting spell itself. However, initially it'd take ten tis as long to cast a spell without chants, and there's a chance it will fail at the casting process as well."
Shira stared at the giant magic gem on the table with gentle eyes.
"Those who could cast magic without chanting, and doing that as natural as breathing are not ordinary humans. The very existence of such a being is magic itself. A being who lives in the true nature of the world. If you ever et soone like that, Lecan."
Shira nodded and drank her tea.
"Run, right away. Even if the other party only possess an extrely tiny amount of mana. That person is on a whole different level than you. They'll imdiately see through you and your weakness, and kill you, or even make you go through fate worse than death."
Lecan relished on Shira's words while sipping his tea. This must be Shira's special tea leaves. It's really delicious with a soothing taste to it.
"I'll keep it in mind."
