Cikashitsu!?Chapter 6

I reread the『First Magic』book in order to learn magic.

“Magic is gathering of magical power within your body and releasing magical power while imagining a certain phenomenon.”

（U~n, as I thought『Light』should be first…… it’s so dark it’s difficult to read, using the『Night Vision』would be fine too, but I want to look like a magician)

I decided to try the『Light』attribute magic.

「U~mm, …… Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」

――Shiin

(…… Nothing happened…… was it a failure? I collected the magical power, but……)

Nothing happened, so I looked at the book again.

“…… gathering magical power while imagining the phenomenon……”

(Ah…… an imagination, huh…… speaking of light, it’s a fluorescent light, right…… yosh!)

「Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」

This time, I tried it while properly imagining the light. And then……

――Pika!!

A strong light lit up the room.

「Kyaa!? …… My eyes~! My eyees~!」

――Gorogoro, gorogoro

I started rolling around the floor in order to suppress the light.

A few minutes later――

(Haa~ that startled me~ …… I thought I got blind…… was a fluorescent light too strong, I wonder…… let’s try lowering the brightness next time~……)

「Illuminate the darkness with a warm light――Light!」

――Pou

It appears I succeeded.

「Yatta~! I did it!」

I was delighted that the Light has succeeded, but there was something I was really curious about.

That is the chant.

(It’s good that the magic came out, but…… as I thought, the chant is…… somewhat embarra.s.sing, and the book said “the phenomenon happens with imagination,” I just have to be only conscious of the skills as well, there’s no need for a chant, is there? Is it possible that there no need for a chant with a proper imagination…… or something? Let’s give it a try)

I made a hypothesis and decided to try it.

(Fuu~…… Light~ light~ come out~)

「Light」

――Pou

I was able to make the light appear as hypothesized.

(As I thought! Yo~sh, I will learn lots just like this~)

A few hours later――

「Haa~ haa~…… somehow, really exhausted…… haa~」

I gasp for air, feeling like I would collapse at any moment.

「Why…… s, status……」

――Buu~n

HP 5／15

MP 1／1000

(Ah…… I have done it……)

――Batan!

I collapsed while checking my status.

Another few hours later――

――Pachi

I finally woke up.

(Huhh? When did I fall asleep? I was practicing magic and…… ah! I have collapsed because I didn’t check my HP and MP because I was absorbed in practicing…… this is why Akari-chan calms me a clutz, huh……)

「Status」

HP 11／15

MP 540／1000

「I’m glad…… it’s recovering」

Though I was a bit depressed, I decided to pull myself together and check the magic I have learned.

「U~mm, magic is……」

《Magic》

『Life Magic』:「Fire」「Water」「Clean」

『Fire Magic』:「Fire Bullet」「Fire Arrow」「Fire Lance」「Fire Wall」

『Water Magic』:「Water Bullet」「Water Arrow」「Water Lance」「Water Wall」

『Wind Magic』:「Wind Bullet」「Wind Blade」「Gust」

『Earth Magic』:「Stone Bullet」「Earth Wall」「Mud Marsh」「Cave-in」

『Lightning Magic』:「Discharge」「Lightning Arrow」「Lightning Spear」

『Light Magic』:「Light」「Flash」「Recovery」「Purification」「Barrier」「Sanctuary」

『Darkness Magic』:「Fog of Darkness」「Stealth」

『s.p.a.ce-time Magic』:「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」「Transfer」

The above are magic I learned, by the way「Cave-in」「Mud Marsh」「Stealth」「Spatial Barrier」are original I thought up.

I imagined a pitfall for the「Cave-in」. It seems usable when escaping.

I created「Mud Marsh」while thinking whether it wouldn’t be possible to prevent movement with it.

I thought of「Stealth」when thinking of concealment. This also looks usable when escaping.

I thought of「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」before practicing offensive magic. It’s not like I can destroy the room, and when thinking someone may come when hearing the sounds, I tried making a barrier that will cancel out the sounds and impacts from within, and also return everything that was broken into the original state.

I collapsed before learning any other magic, so I decided to check the MP consumption.

『Life Magic』… MP 1

『Bullet System』… MP 2

『Arrow System』… MP 3

『Lance System』… MP 4

『Wall System』… MP 5

「Wind Blade」… MP 3

「Gust」… MP3

「Mud Marsh」… MP 5

「Cave-in」… MP 5

「Discharge」… MP 2

「Light」… MP 1

「Flash」… MP 3

「Recovery」… MP 10

「Purification」… MP 15

「Barrier」… MP 20

「Sanctuary」… MP 50

「Fog of Darkness」… MP 3

「Stealth」… MP 5

「s.p.a.ce-time Barrier」… MP 50

「Transfer」… MP 30

(Yosh, I have to remember the MP consumption and practice while checking the status)

When I tried to practice magic again,

――Kotsun――kotsun

――Kasha――kasha

I heard footsteps approaching.
