Surprising Even Breathing

28 – Introduction to Basic Life Magic

‘Introduction to Basic Life Magic’ was not a class that all students in the academy special class had to take together.

An elective course that can be given credit if taken as a liberal arts course.

As a so-called elective liberal arts course, only interested students apply and take it, regardless of class or grade.

The academy special class classroom, other general lecture halls, and the corridors where new students wander.

I was crossing over there.

“Eww.”

“Turn it off.”

Again, a familiar reaction arose.

The height, weight, appearance, characteristics, thoughts, situations, and sensations of the students walking around the hall are all different, but when they see me, they all show a consistent response.

Those encountered up close faint.

If you can’t avoid me, get on the floor and lower your head.

It runs away before I can even approach it.

Maybe there is no one who shows a new performance like this.

I just put on my gray cloak and walked bluntly, expressing with my whole body that I didn’t care about you.

The ‘Introduction to Basic Life Magic’ class arrived soon after.

The door that stood in my way opened wide with telekinesis.

“Heeep!”

“Aww!”

Students meeting for the first time.

The kids in the special class of the academy didn’t show off even though they quietly bowed their heads and endured it, but since the kids here gathered so unconditionally, people screaming and losing consciousness followed one after another.

The atmosphere became heavy and seized with fear for an instant.

I also looked around the classroom, not caring.

Demesis exclusive seat.

was here too

I couldn’t sit in a regular student seat.

If you sit next to them, everyone might die under the magic flowing in real time.

Tilt your head slightly and relax your neck muscles as you sit in the dedicated seat for Demesis.

The dark-colored magic circle beneath the exclusive seat shone.

A space was created to control the flow of magical energy inward, and a clear boundary was drawn between me and the students.

“Huuu”

“Ahhh, my heart trembles.”

Only then did the students sitting across from me barely breathe and regain consciousness.

The academy special class is better.

Curious about the magic that makes life easier, I signed up for this class separately, but the atmosphere in the classroom seemed to be better in the special academy class.

At least the level had to be high so that I could breathe normally while being in the same space as me.

For some reason, I stopped paying attention to the students who seemed unlikely to come out from the next class, and I sat in the farthest seat and looked at the dark-haired woman biting her lips.

Chase. He also signed up for this class.

I lifted the magic board from my bag.

And the writing was engraved on the board.

A magical resonance occurs, breaking through the magic circle that confines my magic power, and leading to her board.

Gying-

Open your senses and listen carefully to the vibration of Chase’s magic board.

My intention was clearly communicated to her.

-Are you taking this class too? I’m surprised

Chase closed her eyes tightly as if something had finally come and took out a magic board from her bag and read what was written on it.

– Mr. Demesis. Why is a great person like Demesis taking the basic life magic class?

-I don’t know magic. I didn’t learn attack magic because I didn’t think it was necessary, but I applied for life magic because it seemed convenient.

– Me too…

After writing, she erased the writing on the magic board.

I wrote honestly, wondering if I was afraid of the case of me being caught trying to lie out of habit.

– There are many cases where life magic is useful, so I applied for it too. You’d better learn all the magic you can learn.

I for convenience, she for necessity.

The purpose of taking the class was a little different, but both wanted to learn life magic.

I nodded.

It feels good because I don’t feel like I’m listening alone.

Chase was in trouble, but he didn’t seem to want to cancel his course registration because of me.

“Mmm.”

The old professor, who entered the classroom on time, drew a circle around me and looked at the empty seats, and was puzzled.

I’m scary even to myself, but I wonder if other students see me.

From the corner of the classroom, he clings to the desk and hides himself, avoiding his gaze as if fear itself is vividly glaring at him.

There were two teaching assistants who accompanied him, but one of them looked directly at me.

A languid impression with dark brown hair.

Is that the highest talent among humans?

His face looked youthful, but his magic power was that of most professors.

In particular, since he was constantly conscious of me, his eyes went naturally.

“Sue, let’s start class. De, Demesis joined us for this introduction to the basic living class. So I hope other students will understand if I use honorific language.”

The old professor drew the students’ attention by awkwardly using honorific words.

A student like me looked quite flustered as if he had seen it for the first time, but he hid his fear as much as possible to see if he had any experience, and spread the lecture book on the table.

Everyone forced their attention to focus on the professor.

Heh heh, the professor, who had been hiding the dripping sweat while laughing, spoke in a calm tone, perhaps feeling a little better.

“Life magic is a type of magic that people commonly know. It’s just a collection of magic that’s useful in real life, not for combat.”

It explained the concept and classification method of life magic.

“Life magic basically starts from the same principle as magic. Using one’s magical powers to change the natural world. Spells and circuits can be applied just like normal combat magic.”

“If you want to learn life magic properly, you have to become a mage who does professional research, but not all the students gathered here want to become a mage. I wouldn’t have been prepared to study those complicated spells, circuits, and magic theories just to learn the little bit of magic necessary for life.”

“So what you learn is basic life magic. Life magic that is developed through intuition without studying spells, circuits, or magic theory. This is a collection of simple life magic that anyone with magical power can use, and any academy student can learn it regardless of their job.”

Pair, pair, pair, pair.

Awkward applause at the end of the lecture outline.

Everyone was happy because it was a magic that could be used without magic theory, but they were nervous and burst into slow and hard applause.

Still, when the class went well, the professor gave an example of basic life magic in earnest.

Magic to boil water, magic to wash clothes, magic to create ice on a hot day, etc.

Among the magic, there was a collection of magic that would be pretty good if ordinary people could use it, but it was basic.

“Basic life magic, like normal magic, is Fire, Water, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. You must utilize the five basic properties of nature. So, the first step is to spread the five pure energy into magical power.”

Saying so, he took out the magic tools for the lecture and placed them on the desk.

“In this class, we will learn the magic that expresses magic with the 5 elements. Intuition, no theory.”

Since it emphasizes intuition without theory, it sounds like a night class for some reason, but basic life magic was originally like that.

*

“water.”

It was very easy for me to work the magic with my intuition.

You just have to see the magic that others perform and follow the pattern.

Or, look at the magic floating around and make the same.

The professor held out a magic tool filled with pure water, saying that it would help me learn the magic of the water attribute.

“… … .”

Everyone glances at me to see what I’m doing, but I can’t talk to them.

I sat in the Demesis-only seat and watched others practicing basic life magic, and followed the class on my own.

“fire.”

fire. As I said, an image was drawn and a pure fireball was created in front of my eyes.

The 5 element elements are easy to discover around you, and it is not difficult to memorize patterns.

“soil.”

Try making a lump of clay.

“tree.”

Build a tree trunk.

“metal.”

I was playing alone in the corner dedicated to Demesis, trying to create a mass of hard conductive materials.

Whirik Whirik Whirik Whirik.

After manifesting all the 5 elemental elements, I have time to juggle with magic while practicing magic control and maintaining the created magic.

That’s how I learned all the contents of today’s class, and while I was doing things by myself.

The brown haired assistant slowly approached me.

A familiar face resembling Broa.

When I stared at him, he gritted his teeth and stiffened his expression, but he did not stop walking toward me.

The boundary line of the magic circle of the Demesis stone.

Sit on a seat about 1m in front of it.

It was a much closer location than others.

It must be that I have business.

The fact that he was conscious of me from the first time he came to the classroom, and the way he boldly approached me like this.

He’s a pretty impressive man.

“Ah, hello, Demesis. Have you completed all of the 5 attribute magic manifestations?”

“Yes.”

“My name is Silian, and I am a teaching assistant in the basic life magic introduction class. nice to see you.”

“okay.”

Everyone else is afraid of me, but it’s amazing to come and talk to me alone.

I removed all the magic I had manifested and focused on him.

“Mmm.”

It seems painful to endure the pressure, but Silian maintains his sober mind.

bring out what you want to say

“Excuse me, but I personally wanted to ask Demesis something, so I came here. May I speak to you?”

“Listen first. talk.”

Silian staring at my neck. Every once in a while, I raise my gaze and try to make eye contact with you.

“There is a student named Broa in the same class as Demesis. That child is my sister.”

Silian reveals that he is Broa’s older brother.

Come to think of it, it was definitely a resemblance.

Her hair color is darker with a hint of blue on this side, but her good-natured and likeable impression is similar to hers.

“I see, so what?”

My interest in him deepened.

Broa, who tried to attack me twice.

he’s her brother

He seemed to have the same courage as her. Or maybe this one is braver.

“I heard that my poor little sister has committed a great disrespect to Demesis. I would like to apologize for that first.”

He bowed his head from start to finish.

What a huge disrespect you did to me.

Are you talking about attacking with fire magic?

“I can’t remember the exact situation because Broa passed out, but it is said that the defense item was activated and attacked Demesis with flame magic.”

“Since I unintentionally harmed you, I don’t dare to face Demesis-sama, so I’m stuck at home, unable to do this or that.”

“I want to see Demesis right away and kneel down to beg for sins a hundred or a thousand times, but I don’t think it would be rude to even show myself to you, so I become her brother and ask for her sins.”

Silian is apologizing in an extremely polite and cautious tone.

He dragged on the horse, but in summary, it meant that Broa wanted to sin on me, but he was too scared to do it.

Do you want to be forgiven by me?

The one that attacked with fire magic?

I thought about how to answer.
