Voices of delight and sounds of the targets getting hit are resounding in the class.
The part where 『Nunn!』 could sometimes be heard makes my head ache, but well, they'd probably notice the weirdness and stop by themselves.
Wonder why is everyone mimicking Guyzar-sensei in that part.
The fact that Ruli seems to be particularly good with chant magic might have backfired on her instead.
It's not like she couldn't get it at all since I felt a slight difference in her mana control than the usual chant magic when she shot it.... But then her pace dropped.
No wonder, chant magic consumes much inversely to its power.
"Give me your hand...mu."
"Mathi-kun, what's wrong?"
"No well, I was going to transfer my mana to you, but that means we'd have to join hands...."
It doesn't need to be too close, but some form of contact is needed to decrease the mana resistance.
"Transferring mana!?"
However, Ruli was surprised at a different part.
I'm sure that it's only mentioned passingly in lectures even in this school.
"It's an application of mana conditioning."
"Mana conditioning....?"
"It's a magic to synchronize your mana with an object. It's usually used in magic augmentation, but you can also use it to transfer mana. It's not really efficient though."
Magic conditioning is a magic specialized for the First Crest, but it's not like the Fourth Crest can't use it as long as you don't use it at a distance.
However, since it's almost impossible to completely synchronize mana qualities between two objects, the conversion rate will be lower.
I grasp her hands and transfer my mana while using mana conditioning.
My heart is getting healed yes, my mana is decreasing fast though.
"....T-thank you Mathi-kun."
I separated my hands once the mana transfer was done. I have a lot more mana than Ruli thanks to all my training so far, but I still lost quite an amount due to the conversion loss.
"....By the way, is this what you call mana movement?"
And Ruli seems to have grasped mana movement.
Though it's not like getting aware of mana is that time consuming, so there's no need to force this.
"Eii! ...I did it!"
Ruli shot out a fire ball from her fingertip, blowing a target away.
Although it's probably partly because of the First Crest, it also must be due to Ruli's training. She's the runner-up of the school year after all.
"Congrats Ruli! Amazing how we could use magic like this in just one day!"
"Yeap. Congratulations."
Rather than a day, it was only 40 minutes.
Ruli might not be the optimum in battle, but First Crest is quite crucial in things other than that, so I'd like to have one in my party.... Or rather, you can even say that it's an indispensable crest.
A party without First Crest will have a hard time taking a rest inside the dungeon.
As for Alma, her Second Crest is also quite powerful.
To be frank, fighting lots of enemies with the Fourth Crest consumes a lot of mana on top of being annoying even if they're weak, it'd really help if I have a support to clean up the weaklings.
And once I'm able to use the magic I've developed later on, I should be able to blow away one or two continents in one shot and be strong enough to fight the huge monsters in the space.
....By the way, my past First Crest self could have blown away a mere continent if I wanted.
Alright, let's try asking them. I've gotten used to talking to them, and even if they refuse me, it would surely only be as damaging as getting me to want to reincarnate again.
"...I have a request to you two now that you can use magic."
"Request?"
"Yeah. Would you please form a party with me in order to enter the dungeon."
"I heard that you need a group of five to enter the dungeon even for second graders.... Are you forming a party this soon?"
"Don't you think it's too soon? I would love to personally though. Ruli must want it too, and with Mathi-kun around, I'm sure he can do something even if things get dangerous!"
The matter yesterday hasn't been known yet huh.
She might feel dejected, but this need to be told to her sooner or later.
It's better not to pointlessly prolong it.
Well, judging from how people treat Glory Crest today, I guess this reaction is only natural.
Her reaction is somewhat different than what I expected.
I mean, her eyes are sparkling.
"Ruli, are you.... willing to become magic augmenter even if you have to abandon combat?"
Even if she wants to become a magic augmenter, I thought that you'd usually be disappointed if you heard your crest wasn't suitable for combat.
"Yes! I don't mind not being able to fight if I can get better in augmentation!"
She likes augmenting that much huh.
To think she would be this happy for the traits of the crest that compelled me to reincarnate myself to rid of....
