\nWhen we left the special dormitory, a carriage was waiting right in front of us.It seemed to be the same carriage we rode in when we met with the Headmaster the other day…
“Oh, this carriage is the academy’s property. We use it to get around the academy’s premises, or when we have to go outside the academy on short notice. We will be using it for transportation this time just in case, but normally, we would just walk.”“Is that so?”“The facilities used by the Elementary-division students are all close to the dormitories, so there’s no need to worry. If you want to proceed to Advanced magic training or specialized courses for more extensive progress, you will have to go to the training grounds or research buildings which are located further away, and that’s a bit of a challenge.”\nWell, that’s true. The children of noble families are not that active, so I think they would find that difficult.Even though this is an academy, I have a feeling that they’ll soon run out of patience with the idea of traveling long distances on foot through this vast site.Me? I’ve been strolling around the grounds of the estate for some time now, so I’m sure my legs and feet have been trained a bit… I think.
“Just in case, the Royal Palace has installed warp circles at each establishment, but students who want to save up their magical power fundamentally go on foot, and children of wealthy families have several smallish magic stones to use in case of emergency, so they are able to use those.”“Magic stones?”
Magic stones can be obtained from monsters, but the high quality ones must be quite expensive. I think even a small magic stone costs a fair amount.\n“Although it’s possible to increase the amount of magical power through training to some extent, students who are not high-ranking nobles and don’t have a lot of magical power need to conserve it in order to complete their assignments, so they use magic stones to supplement their magical power. Ah but, you have no need for them so no need to worry, Cristea.”“R, right…”
They are useless for a magical power fiend like myself who’s magical power could spontaneously explode at any given time, yes.
“Do you have a vast amount of magical power too, Sei?”\n“I see. So that’s how it is.”
