A little before 11:00: we were watching the plaza from the large room on the 2nd floor, where Eleanor-sama was. The plaza was becoming very lively. It was rumored that Iris was safely rescued. And, at 11:00, Eleanor-sama appeared on the balcony, and announced that Iris was brought to safety and she was physically sound. Following the announcement, Iris appeared alongside Eleanor-sama, stirring up the crowds. Chants of “Iris-sama~!” were shouted repeatedly. Clearly speaking, it was an amazing sight.
By the way, I was working as a bodyguard for both of them, and was in the back—invisible to the populace. I arrived at 9:00, taught the Chivalric Order the『Magical Power Cladding』skill, and when my power was confirmed, I was given permission to guard the duo. After that, I was called “Sashsama” for some reason, and in the end, all of the nobles and the Chivalric Order came to look at me with looks of respect.
(I came to know about the reason for this later, according to Iris, the Nobility were informed in advance about me rescuing Iris, my extraordinarily high recovery magic ability and the fact that I could subjugate subjugate B-class evil tribes. Initially, the Chivalric Order were also somewhat suspicious, but their doubts vanished when I taught them the『Magical Power Cladding』skill. It was thanks to this skill, that the total strength of the Chivalric Order increased quite a bit. It seemed that the treatment of me myself equalled that of Iris, with it being my strength and the ability of my recovery magic for the nobles, and my own strength and the fact I taught them the『Magical Power Cladding』skill for the Chivalric Order)
When Eleanor-sama raised her right hand, the commotion settled. And then, a part of the goddess Sphere’s oracle (excluding the information regarding the holy sword, Evil God, and the ones targeting Sphere), and the fact that evil tribes were coming to attack soon, was announced. For a while, there was an uproar, but when the success of the improvement of potions and the success of the technology of adding magic to weapons and armor—which were being researched already—were reported, there was an uproar in a different sense. The rise in morale was tremendous. Next to Eleanor-sama was Dolk-san, Irumi-san, the owner of the tool shop, and a doctor who produced it.
Prior to announcing this, she had Dolk-san, Irumi-san, the owner of the tool shop, and the doctor who produced it come in advance, and had them become the developers of these technologies. At first, everyone declined with the reasoning that “It’s amazing, we can’t”, but after explaining a little bit of situation to them, they agreed albeit unwillingly. Because I’d leave on a trip with Iris after subjugating the evil tribes here, I didn’t want to make any actions that made me stand out, sorry~.
At around 14:00; after it all settled down, I begun Iris’s training. Finn was in the middle of a mock battle with all the Chivalric Order. They were greatly lacking combat experience, so they had to raise their ability, even if only a little. Also, as I decided to teach the adventurers『Magical Power Cladding』, going to the C-class historical ruins was for after the annihilation of the evil tribes. As Iris’s matter, and the matters of the potions, weapons, and armor were kicking up a fuss, it wouldn’t stand out that much.
“Iris, the magic I’ll teach you has the power to temporarily raise all the basic attribute values of your allies.” (Akane)
“Will it work even though I don’t have the appraisal skill” (Iris)
“It’s the opposite. If you have appraisal, you’ll be captured by only the numerical values, and your stats won’t be more than double those numerical values even if you perform the magic perfectly. To learn this magic, it’s necessary to completely grasp the flow of the other party’s magical power, and intuitively know the attack, defense, and agility. If that’s done, there’s a possibility to exhibit more than double the power according to the time. Once you get used to it, you’ll be able to grasp it immediately and chant it on several people. And, you don’t need any chant.” (Akane)
“Do it chantless!?” (Iris)
“For some reason, the people of this world are too fixated on the chant. Magic is all determined by the image. Chanting is just something that supports that image. There are also people who release it chantless with the same power just by watching once, aren’t there?” (Akane)
“There are! class and S-class people do it almost chantless.” (Iris)
“Those people probably realized with experience, that the image is everything. From now on, grasp the flow of magical power of all the Chivalric Order and Finn. You must do it one by one without rushing. Eventually, you should notice something.” (Akane)
“Yes!” (Iris)
As I thought, Iris had an amazing talent for magic. She completely grasped the flow of Finn’s magical power in about 15 minutes. And, one hour later, she was able to grasp all of the Chivalric Order’s.
“Onee-sama, the flow of magical power is different for everyone! Is this correct?” (Iris)
“It’s correct, you realized it well. Look at the skill.” (Akane)
“Aah, Presence Sensing became level 2.” (Iris)
“That’s how it should be. You will raise the level of this skill.” (Akane)
“I’ve heard that it isn’t that easy to raise it, though.” (Iris)
“Fufu, it’s alright. Iris, what will happen if you gently drop a water droplet onto the water’s surface?” (Akane)
“Umm, it will spread out in a circle from the place it was dropped.” (Iris)
“Yep, next, think about yourself as the center, and this ground’s surface as the water’s surface, and try dropping just a pinch of magical power. And then, spread that thinly. Close your eyes for this. Then, if it’s the current you, you’d be able to pull it off.” (Akane)
“I’ll try. ––––––Eh, what’s this, no way! I can feel magical power at various places. Eh, this gentle magical power, is this possibly Eleanor-sama?” (Iris)
“Correct. Aren’t you amazing, Iris? Well then, how high did “Presence Sensing” become?” (Akane)
“Eh~~~, i-, it’s now level 4. No way, for it to rise this easily.” (Iris)
It rose easily solely because it was Iris. The range is still narrow, but Iris perceived magical power three-dimensionally. This was huge. She only needed to practice now, huh. First, let’s let her acquire that magic.
“Iris, don’t depend on this “Presence Sensing” too much. There’s people who can suppress their presence until right before they strike if they are at the level of an assassin, okay?” (Akane)
“Yes, I understand. But, you’re amazing, Onee-sama. If done with good efficiency, the skill rises easily until here.” (Iris)
Iris’s eyes were shining a lot.
“Well, that’s true, but it rising until here is because your magical power control and image are just that good, Iris.” (Akane)
“Ehehe, thank you very much.” (Iris)
“Now, next is the final challenge at last. Let’s try it with Finn.” (Akane)
“Eh, it’s the magic, right? Will it be okay?” (Iris)
“Because it’s you, Iris, it’ll be fine. You’re looking at Finn’s magical power everyday, it should be easy to intuitively grasp her attack, defense, agility, and control it.” (Akane)
I called Finn here as a test run for the magic.
“Fweh~~~, you’ll do it on me!? No way~~.” (Finn)
“Don’t misunderstand. I’ve said that this magic is a support magic. Unless it’s you, Finn, who she’s familiar with, it’s no good.” (Akane)
Even though I should’ve informed her yesterday, she completely forgot, huh.
“Ah, that’s right. I was careless.” (Finn)
“Finn, remain where you are. Now, Iris, perceive the flow of Finn’s magical power, and imagine that all her abilities are double. And, say『All Abilities Second』.” (Akane)
“Okay, –––––『All Abilities Second』” (Iris)
Then, Finn’s entire body shone, and a red-white light covered Finn.
“Iris, it’s a success.” (Akane)
“Hooray, Finn-ane, it’s a success. How’s your body?” (Iris)
Finn—the integral part of the exercise—was surprised at what happened to her, and was checking her entire body.
“Amazing. I’ve never felt such power until now. The amazing power is overflowing. Ha! Tohh! Amazing, there’s so much! Ahahaha.” (Finn)
“Yeah, her basic attribute values are nearly doubled. Perfect!” (Akane)
“I’m happy. If I have this magic, I can use it on many people during the war with the evil tribes.” (Iris)
“But, it also has weakness, so be careful. First, the time limit is 30 minutes. Always cancel it in less than 30 minutes. Because your level right now is low, Iris, using the spell on multiple people is impossible. I’ll back you up on that.” (Akane)
“Uu, that’s right, I forgot that my level is low.” (Iris)
At any rate, Finn became too excited. It was similar to『Magical Power Cladding』. In the case where she increased them herself and another person forcibly raised them, I guess it’s no different from ecstasy or something.
“Iris, cancel the magic on Finn.” (Akane)
When she cancelled it, Finn’s tension dropped dramatically.
“Ehhh, it’s over already? I wanted to savor it a bit more.” (Finn)
“Finn, the time limit of this magic is 30 minutes. Now, she cancelled it immediately, so there won’t be a problem with her body, but if she cancels it after 10 minutes, muscle pain will start to occur in her body. ––––And, if she cancels it after 30 minutes, then––––intense pain will occur on her entire body, and she’ll be bedridden for a few days.” (Akane)
Yep, there are no convenient magics. The advantages are big, but the disadvantages are just as big. Though the doubled abilities of their bodies with this magic are temporary, they are forcibly raised. Naturally, the burden on the body is also big, unlike with『Magical Power Cladding』. I mean, I actually tried it. Although I was fine because it was my mental world, I would’ve died if I did it in the real world.
“Oh yeah, there were big disadvantages as well.” (Finn)
“Because『Magical Power Cladding』raises your basic attribute values with the synergy of your own magical power and skills, the burden on you isn’t big, but since this magic forcibly increases another person’s basic ability values, it places a considerable burden on you. Besides, this time, this magic is absolutely necessary for the adventurers with a low leveled『Magical Power Cladding』skill. We were spared damage because the person we did it on was you, Finn. Tomorrow, I plan to teach『Magical Power Cladding』to the adventurers, and use『All Abilities Second』. Your energeticness rose that much, Finn, so the adventurers’ will be even higher.” (Akane)
“Uuu, Master, please forget that.” (Finn)
We were steadily getting ready.
Now, let’s teach『Magical Power Cladding』to the adventurers tomorrow!
Editor’s Notes
Owing to complaints over time regarding the lack of proper editing we decided to switch over from a more “preserve the raws” style to a more traditional English translation. Similar to what we currently do with Master of Monsters.
Let me know your thoughts on the new style. The next Master of Monsters chapters should be out soonish.
