“Well, for starters, let’s begin with practicing attack magic?”
“Although I don’t mind… What are we going to do about the practice field? If I’m not mistaken, we didn’t make any reservations to use it?”
“I know a good place where we can practice. It’s the place where I used to practice, and because it won’t matter what kind of magic you release, you can practice as much as you want.”
“Heehh, so it’s the place where Shin used to practice. Indeed, if Shin says that we can use whatever magic we want, then…”
“That’s right. If it’s the place that can withstand Shin-dono’s magic, then…”
“Then no matter what magic we use, it’ll be okay!”
…Huh? Isn’t the way they evaluated the place a little strange?
“…For now, let’s go. When we get there, I’ll explain what we’ll be doing.”
After saying that, I connected Gate to the very nostalgic wilderness.
“So this place is the place where Shin-kun used to practice…”
“Hey, doesn’t this place… look like it’s been trashed?”
“Indeed. It looks like it’s been trashed.”
“…There looks to be a crater and places with traces of being melted…”
“It gives the feeling of this place being in a different world degozaru.”
When everyone arrived, they started looking here and there. If it’s this place, everyone can practice attack magic without worrying about other people. It’s a nice idea even if I do say so myself.
“Now then, before we start practicing attack magic, when everyone starts using magic, what kind of image do you have?”
“What you ask, normally, before I use magic, a teacher would be there to give some guidance, and then I will reflect on it, and imagine that…”
“Come to think of it, Magi-sama said the image Walford-kun creates is special.”
“He certainly did say that. He said Shin imagines the ‘Process’ rather than the ‘Result.'”
“That’s right. But what will you guys do if you just imagine the ‘Result?’ That’s why I want everyone to be able to imagine the ‘Process’ as well. That way, that range of your magic will increase.”
“However, even if you tell me to imagine the process, I don’t have any idea how to do it…”
“That’s why, before we start practicing, I’ll teach you guys how to do it.”
After I said that, I took out a desk, a candle, and a beaker from the extra-dimensional storage space. I’ll start with Fire, I guess.
“First, I will ignite this candle.”
I used fire magic to light the candle.
“Well, it will naturally catch fire and start to burn.”
Everyone nodded.
“Then, how do you put this fire off?”
“Eh? If you just blow on it, wouldn’t the fire go off?”
“Well, that will indeed cause the fire to be put out. However, if I put this beaker on top of it…”
“…Ah! It disappeared!”
“Why do you think it disappeared?”
“Why you ask… I don’t know that kind of thing!”
“With fire, if you have fuel, you understand that it will continue to burn?”
“Well, without any fuel, it won’t burn.”
“The fuel you speak of, for example, even this candle has a little of it. However, that’s not all it has.”
“Umm… No good, I don’t understand. What do you mean?”
“For example… When you burn something in a furnace, other than having coal or charcoal, you need to have something else in order to increase the fire, right?”
“Ah! Air is needed, Sir!”
“That’s right, in order for a fire to burn, other than fuel, it also needs air.”
“Heehh. However, if I blow on it, it’ll disappear?”
“That only applies to small fires such as the one on the candle. Do the large fires such as the one from a bonfire disappear if you blow on it?”
“Certainly, it won’t disappear.”
“For now, take a look at this. But if you’re interested, I’ll teach you guys later. In order for this fire to burn a gas in the air called ‘Oxygen’ is necessary. When Oxygen burns, it creates a nonflammable gas called, “Carbon Dioxide.’ So when you’re burning the wax candle inside the beaker, it’s only using up the oxygen that’s inside. It then generates carbon dioxide. Gradually, the oxygen decreases, and carbon dioxide increases…”
I once again lit up the candle, and then covered it with the beaker.
“…Oh, I see. Because what’s left inside the beaker is the nonflammable carbon dioxide, then…”
“…It disappeared.”
