“Master~~, it’s no good anymore. I can’t even move another step.” (Finn)
“Oh, you’re already at your limit? Hmm, because it’s also no good to overuse your body too much, we’ll end here for today.” (Akane)
Finn was staring at the sky on the ground and was short of breath and dripping sweat. Having escaped from the Imperial Capital, we were running towards Sphereart currently. Indeed, we were running. Finn’s magical power circulation and magical power manipulation skill levels were both 1. As is, if we went while flying on the subordinate demon (griffon) I newly contracted, it was possible to arrive at Sphereart in about 6 hours, but that wasn’t interesting.
Therefore, as training for Finn, we were running whilst circulating magical power. By cladding your body in magical power and running, your speed improved a little, your magical power circulation skill level raised, and the body strengthening skill also became easier to remember------supposedly.
“Finn, what was your impression on trying to do it?” (Akane)
“It was more harder than expected. I didn’t think that training of just running whilst circulating magical power was hard until here.” (Finn)
“Although it’s simple, training seeming to be simple at first like this easily raises your skill levels as well. What is your magical power circulation skill level?” (Akane)
“Yes, I’ll try to confirm it. Eeh, it’s become level 2 already depsite only doing it 1 day~.” (Finn)
As expected! It’s good I read that manga.
“Alright, after you take a break, we’re changing to magical power manipulation.” (Akane)
“Haa, I’m exhausted~.” (Finn)
“When you have cleared one of my next instructions, I’ll make a gordon cow steak for dinner.” (Akane)
A gordon cow, it was an evil tribe resembling what would be called a fine quality cow in Japan. I had bought 3 shares in the Imperial Capital.
“I’ll try my best!” (Finn)
This child had a weakness for food. Let’s also use it from now on.
After the break, we went into magical power manipulation training.
“Now, although we are doing magical power manipulation after this, doing it is simple. You are bringing out the thing that’s in here. What is that, I wonder?.” (Akane)
At the same location as Finn’s head, I created a round sphere made of magical power. It was colorless because there weren’t any attributes put in. In the first place, magical power itself usually wasn’t seen. In order to have it be seen, include an attribute in the magical power itself, or it’s fine if you concentrate magical powers on your eyes.
“Eeh, you’re doing it with just magical power manipulation?” (Finn)
“Indeed. Question your way of manipulating magical power. Unless you cast aside your common sense, you won’t be able to clear this challenge. The time limit is 30 minutes. Begin! A steak is waiting.” (Akane)
“Eeeeeh, I’ll try to do it.” (Finn)
----30 minutes later, she cleared it at the last moment.
“I did it~! With this, I can eat the steak!” (Finn)
You wanted the steak to that extent? But, it had come to her mind nicely.
“You did well. Your dinner is steak. Did you understand the round ball properly?” (Akane)
“Yes, because magical power circulation is a skill that spreads magical power through your entire body, I was thinking about what kind of skill magical power manipulation was for a long time. Until now, I was fixated on just the manipulation of magic, so I hadn’t progressed at all, but because Master said to cast aside your common sense, I thought it suddenly. If you spread magical power through your entire body, I thought ‘weren’t you also able to keep it a part of your body?’.” (Finn)
Oh, she noticed it by herself?
“Correct. Try to view the skill level.” (Akane)
“Yes, aah, this one also became level 2. How is it rising simply like this.” (Finn)
“It’s fine if you do the trick properly. There are things that won’t progress even with practicing only magic.” (Akane)
“Yes, ---that’s right. Until now, the trick was simply bad.” (Finn)
In the academy, she had said her skill level wasn’t rising, but if you think about it properly, her attribute values were fixed with that curse, but her skill was normal. In other words, Finn herself was lacking the ability.
“Finn, get used to magical power manipulation and gathering it in your eyes. The way of gathering magical power is crude still, and although it’s a degree where you just barely understand even the round ball this time, if this manipulation is refined more, you’ll sense the behavior of magic and the movements of the opponent quicker, and you can advance the fight advantageously. By using it together with presence sensing, it’ll reach the point you understand the behavior of opponents who are far away to some extent.” (Akane)
“You were thinking about this matter to that extent!? I understand, I will train every day.” (Finn)
For now, it seemed she understood the methods of magical power circulation and magical power manipulation with this. After, it was only repeated practice.
Three days had passed since we departed from the Imperial Capital. Finn had also grown considerably accustomed to magical power circulation and magical power manipulation. She’d become familiar with her body much more than in the beginning, and it became clear she was moving her magical power smoothly. Any time now, huh.
“Finn, confirm your status. There should be new skills any time now.” (Akane)
“Yes, aah! There’s the body strengthening skilll! The skill of my heart’s desire came into my hands at last.” (Finn)
Fufufu, she’s growing steadily.
“Finn, the body strengthening skill as well, it doesn’t mean that the skill level will rise if you only train your body. Depending upon how you use it, the level rises with good efficiency as well, and it’s even possible to defeat warriors with higher basic attribute values than you if you use it together with magical power.” (Akane)
“Eeh, really!?” (Finn)
Well, it’d be better for Finn herself to personally experience this.
“Finn, perform what I say from now.” (Akane)
1) Perform magical power circulation
2) Put the magical power being circulated outside of the body. As for the image, try to clad your entire body in it.
“Understood, I’ll try to do it. -----Is it a feeling like this?” (Finn)
“Although it’s rough, well, I guess it’s fine. Remember that feeling. Well then, solve the magical power, and try to strike the ground normally.” (Akane)
“Yes.” (Finn)
When she struck the ground, a fist-sized hole was made.
“Well then, next, do the thing I said some time ago again, and hit the ground with that state this time.” (Akane)
In accordance with what I said, Finn struck the ground with her fist. The result, different from last time, a small crater with about a 20cm radius centered on the spot she struck was made.
“Eeh, why, why! The power when there isn’t and when there is magical power is different?” (Finn)
“By cladding your body in magical power, working together with the『Body Strengthening』skill, all abilities rise. If you are able to do this method of cladding your body entirely without futility, your abilities rise even more. At this point in time, your at the point of barely passing because your method of cladding yourself is rough. Finn, confirm your status.” (Akane)
“Yes, aah, a new skill called『Magical Power Cladding level 1』is displayed.” (Finn)
I see, it was a name called『Magical Power Cladding』? Even with doing it myself, although it appeared inside of my head, I was uneasy since it wasn’t displayed in my status.
“It’s no good if you’re surprised with that. Next is the performance. Gathering the magical power that you took outside onto your fist, strike the ground.” (Akane)
Thereupon, a crater with a 40cm radius was made this time.
Finn was very surprised, and became dazed.
“Were you able to understand? That you could defeat someone dependant upon the way you use it, it’s a reason like this. The attack in the beginning was only the body strengthening skill, the 2nd was body strengthening and cladding your entire body in magical power working together, and the third was body strengthening and cladding a part of your body in magical power. By having magical power cladding and the body strengthening skill working together like this, you are able to drastically strengthen yourself based on your basic attribute values. In the case you concentrate magical power on your fist, I think you’re able to strengthen your basic offensive ability about 5 times at most at this point in time. If your skill level is higher, your power also increases.” (Akane)
“I didn’t know. I thought magical power was only used for magic. Things like there being a way to use it like this, I hadn’t thought of it in the slightest.” (Finn)
“However, in the case you concentrate magical power on your fist, the places with the exception of that one will be a level close to your basic attribute values in that state. Be careful.” (Akane)
“Yes, I will practice how to handle this.” (Finn)
Finn’s eyes were sparkling. I guess she was quite impressed?
With this, I guess I was able to do the minimum required training for Finn as well. After, it was fine if she increased her experience points by piling up combat.
As for me, it may be because I ate the evil god, but before such things as combat, as I had exceeded the level of humans, I didn't know whether I would pile up lacking experience or not. However, the level on my status was currently 7, and the values of my basic attribute values were rising sufficiently as well. Somehow or other, thanks to the unique skill『Existence Concealment』, it appeared the status rising of each level returned to the base. Evil god. It was good I ate you. Let’s hunt evil tribes for now and raise my level even more.
After this, by repeatably training magical power cladding throughout the day, Finn’s『Magical Power Cladding』became level 3.
And then, the next morning-----
“With this, the minimum necessary training for Finn is finished. We’ll get on the subordinate demon from now and go towards Sphereart.” (Akane)
“Eh, the Lich subordinate demon?” (Finn)
“No, it’s a griffon I contracted while you slept.” (Akane)
“Fue~~, a griffon! Although it’s rank, you’re amazing as usual.” (Finn)
Without delay, I summoned the griffon. Looking at it again, it was fairly big. It was about 5 meters in length, I think. Let’s give it the meat attatched to an orc’s bone that I prepared some time ago to the griffon.
“Griffon, please take us to before Sphereart. Because you may become hungry, I’ll give this before.” (Akane)
The griffon consumed the whole bone with pleasure. Whether or not it was very happy, it was rubbing its face against me. Ohhh, it was like a dog, it looked cute.
“Finn, the griffon is fairly cute as well, right? Don’t be distant like that, come here.” (Akane)
“Im-impossible. It’s too terrifying. It looks ferocious to me.” (Finn)
“Oh my, I wonder if it’s okay to say a thing like that. This child, although it doesn’t talk, it is able to understand words. You had better not say things that will anger it too much.” (Akane)
When I said so, she came here in a dash, and prostrated herself in front of the griffon. I thought she was a princess, but did she not have pride?
“Griffon-san, I’m sorry, please forgive me. Because it was my first time seeing you, it was just a little scary. I wonder, is it also okay to get on?” (Finn)
Thereupon, whether or not it was pleased with Finn, it pinched the hem of her clothes in its beak and heaved her upwards, and placed her on its back. If one were to speak of Finn, she was crying.
“I was scared. I thought it might eat me~.” (Finn)
“Get familiar with it. Since, from now on, the evil tribes like this will increase.” (Akane)
Riding on the back of the griffon, we went towards Sphereart.
If you guys notice anything wrong, please let me know!
See you ….perhaps soon?
