Knight’s & Magic Vol 7 Chapter 99

Chapter 99 A Peaceful day in the Middle of a Certain Village

The young new Sorceress in the Kaellous Clan had a lot of worries on that day.

“Let’s start with the basics first. Please try to remember the expansion script or connecting script by concentrating between the foundation script.”

“Magister, were there so many spells used by goblins?”

Although Ernesti was a goblin, he became the Sorcerer’s master and taught her with passion. While slightly moving his small body, he drew the script in front of her.

The young Sorceress quickly lost herself after seeing him drawing the small-scale script line by line. She hadn’t been looking down on it before but, it turned out to be more than she expected.

“The foundation of magic which is used by the giants is the same as us. If you are able to learn this, we’ll continue to combine them next. Or rather, that is the most important part when using magic.”

“Do I need to memorize this too?”

Eru began to describe about combining to the young Sorceress who had just desperately learned to memorize the script, the method about the most efficient magic he invented, how to draw the script precisely and a method to make the script more efficient.

In contrast, his method was way too obscure for a titan who excels in using magic to exercise their senses. In the first place, Eru’s method was categorized as special even for a human, but there’s no way the young Sorceress could know about that.

“This script can still be drawn in more detail. If you connect this part, you might able to increase the output.”

“Ye, yes”

After Eru corrected the drawing, she kept it in mind. Every day, she had headaches from remembering the script and how to combine it. It wasn’t comparable to the substantial lectures she got from the former Sorceress.

Eru’s method was focused heavily on the basics. He was thinking if she can remember the simple and accurate method, then later should come practical use. That’s why he strictly teaches her to memorize thoroughly.

At this point, the young Sorceress became teary-eyed.

“Well then, let’s increase the scale. I’m sure the giant’s Magius Circuit is larger than ours. It should be able to operate more than this.”

“Ah, aaahh・・・・・”

“If you get used to this, we should able to operate more than one at the same time, let’s work hard, shall we?”

“・・・・Eu”

Every day after she has finished her training, the young Sorceress would fall down exhausted.

Eru as her teacher is quite strict. Whether it was magic or anything relating to a Silhouette Knight, it was something like a hobby for himself to investigate it, memorize it, fiddle around with it, and let it go in one strike; in short, it was what he lives for. His passion itself is a little different however.

Even so, the young Sorceress was desperately following him. Although, she no longer understood if she did it for her pride as a Sorceress or as a member of her clan.

“You can’t learn it if you only observe. It is important to put into practice what you have learned before.”

“・・・・・! I understand. Magister, please watch me!”

After learning the theory, next is practical use. The young Sorceress immediately got motivated. Because it was better than forced memorization. Her senior disciple, as well as her teacher, Addy was also the one who guided her.

“Well, then Parl-chan! Try to swoosh the movement of mana inside the body with feeling, then squeak it to gather into your hands!”

“Magister Addy, I understand! I just need to swoosh and squeak it, right!”

The young Sorceress replies to her strongly, and close her upper two eyes. Fundamentally, the larger body she has, the stronger magic circuit she could have. The young Sorceress began to process the script she just had learned quietly.

“When operating the script, you can line up them all with a bang! And then you can just stick them one after another!”

“I understand! Line them up・・・・・and stick them・・・・”

Although her processing is still slow, her script was assembled one after another. Gradually, the scale was increasing to the point of becoming an Overed Spell which was comparable to a titan usage.

“Combine the script with mana! And release it all at once!!”

“I will, release it all at once!!”

A crimson flaming bullet was created in the palm of her hand. A magic which had been connected to the foundation of an explosive flame script. The young Sorceress watched with surprise as the flame that was created from a titan’s mana went flying.

The target was a huge boulder located not too far from the village. In order to restrain themselves from blasting away the trees every time for training, they had been looking for something hard to hit. There were already a number of cracks and burns on the surface, and now, there are much more to be included.

The flaming bullet became a bursting explosive soon after reaching the boulder. A blaze raises with a shock wave sticking on the surface of the huge boulder.

“One more shot! Do it with a flashy move!”

“One, more!”

The young Sorceress created another flame on her other hand. She lifts her hand up to the sky, and shot it once again at the huge boulder.

Then, her rough breathing continues as she tries to keep her palm up. Although she is indeed a titan, she was too young for that. There is still lack of mana to handle an Overed Spell continuously. However, her skill has certainly improved, and so has her magical power. Despite her strict teachers, she definitely has gotten stronger because of their teaching.

“Magister! Did you see that!!”

“Yes, as I thought Parl has the same perception as Addy. In the first place, giants might not have known about the theory until now, so magic seems like natural for them・・・・”

Eru began to mumble something as he crossed his arm while looking at Addy and the young Sorceress.

“Either way, we already can see the result of the training. If you continue this way, you might become a fine sorceress without shaming your predecessors.”

“・・・・! Yes. Someday when I’ve returned to the Hundred Eyes side, I’ll show this to them!”

Still, there is one serious problem in this Eru special menu training regime. That problem is he wasn’t really familiar with the magic which had been used by the titans.

That’s why, he was using the huge being——the Silhouette Knight’s performance as a standard.

Thus, the young Sorceress kept her enthusiasm in training, unaware that this was abnormal for a titan. Now, the peaceful days of the young Sorceress have ended in another sense——.

◆

While the young Sorceress was devoting herself in magical training, the remaining Kaellous Clan’s members are practicing using the silhouette arms. They have used it in turns on the rocky place not too far from the village.

“I never thought that we who are not Sorcerers would able to wield a magic. To think there is such a way, certainly I don’t dislike the goblin’s technique.”

“Indeed. It was inevitable for the Rubel Clan to gain this much power”

The third-eyed Brave looked at the boxy object on his hand while the one-eyed Servant nodded in agreement with his statement.

Since they are deeply impressed, it can be said using Ernesti as a standard is very dangerous. Unfortunately, they haven’t known any goblins other than Eru, so there is no other person who can correct their misunderstanding.

If the enemy is strong, then they must become strong too. While tighten their mind (?), they were engulfed in training their body and mind.

Day by day, the Kaellous Clan with Eru and Addy spent their days in the forest, furthermore in the enemy base in the relaxed state (?) without even expecting it before.

Eventually, the young Sorceress’s lecture focused on the practical use rather than theories, and nowadays only with Addy who was better at teaching her. The Kaellous Clan’s members are enthusiastically training with the silhouette arms and the villagers were being driven to help them.

Eru who had a little time to spend, was now facing the new Silhouette Knight. They were offered an open-spaced house to live in. Although it was a vacant house in the beginning, many miscellaneous tools were scattered around before anyone realized it.

With a flutter sound, Eru spread a scroll on the desk. He was using the scroll that had been made using White Mist as a material. He brought his favorite pen and wrote what he thought by adding an ink. (?)

“There are enough materials from the remaining Ikaruga and Syrphrine. And also, from demonic beast’s materials.”

With a scratching sound, he drew a skeletal blueprint. Looks like an Ikaruga, similar like a Syrphirne. (?) Of course, he has remembered the whole blueprint.

“However, with the remaining crystal tissue・・・・I can build half a body at most”

It would need only the upper body or lower body at most to make it work as a Silhouette Knight. If so, then it would be hard to imagine about fighting or even moving away.

“No, let’s make a quite・・・・slight・・・compromise. There’s a way even if I must use the Etheric Levitator.”

If there is an Etheric Levitator which can make any object float regardless the shape, then he can make a simple flight machine if he can prepare Magius Jet Thruster.

Because it was possible to prepare numerous silhouette arms by using White Mist. He could probably make a Magius Jet Thruster with some effort too. But as expected, there are some fatal problems left.

“This is not good. It’s impossible to make another Etheric Levitator. I cannot find anything in here to supply the Etherlite.”

He stopped his hands. The problem keeps occurring in the same place. In Flemmevira Kingdom they were able to mass produce it, the reason was the existence of excellent blacksmiths and Boss that they were able to do it. For Eru, he had the knowledge but not the skill.

“If it was only Ether, there’s plenty in here.”

Eru who finally getting bored, leaning on his chair and stare at the air.

“That’s right. There is ether in the atmosphere, if we collect it・・・・・collect it. Collect!?”

He opened his eyes and kicked up the chair while trying to stand up. He slowly looked down at the drawing then pointed his shaken finger at one one point.

“They are gathering・・・in here. Isn’t there a large amount of highly concentrated ether?”

In regard of his answer, there is an Ether Reactor which can be said the heart of Silhouette Knight.

“Mana Pool・・・・!”

The Silhouette Knight that had gathered the ether will transform it into mana with the work of the furnace. The crystal tissue will absorb the stored mana, and by consuming it the Silhouette Knight can be driven. Conversely speaking it would be——.

“Mana is an excited state of ether. Then, if I can convert mana back to ether・・・・I can use a big ether filter on the Silhouette Knight body・・・・!!”

The idea that appeared like a comet, ran through his brain to the body then flowed to the fingertips. He grabbed a pen and drew the idea like the ink was flying away.

“How about it? What should I do? I can do it. I will do everything from what I can afford.”

A strange shape has been produced. It doesn’t need various functions, but his thoughts were reflected to the form.

“Please wait a little longer my Ikaruga. It may become a little ‘weird’ but・・・・・since we’re fighting, it would be okay right?”

Eru held the scroll up high and showed a cheerful smile.

◆

Eru came to Addy and the young Sorceress who was still in training without being noticed. The young Sorceress wondered if he wanted to teach her something new but it seemed that was not the case.

Then noticing the young Sorceress beforehand, and take out Addy with him. As he keeps his head and goes straight to the cart direction. On the scattered wreckage, Eru began to turn his back. (?)

“I have a request for Addy”

“What’s with the formalities? If it’s Eru’s request, everything is fine!”

“Err. Please hear me out first”

“Okay～”

Although she had already embraced Eru, well, it always been like this for now.

“Actually, I want to dismantle Addy’s Descend Gear (Descend Rad)”

She was wondering what it was, but his request seemed unexpected to her. She blinked her eyes in bewilderment, she looked at Eru in her arms and tilted her head to the side.

“Why? It’s not like we don’t need to use it・・・・again, right?”

“Yes, of course. This is a valuable weapon for us. If we could, I want to leave it as it is but・・・・”

After being stranded in the Bocuse sea of trees, the Descend Rad’s strength has successfully led them in housing problem (?) and there may be many situations where it can still be used if they think carefully. Naturally, he didn’t think to give it up in a meaningless way.

“I have made a new design. To make it, I would like to teach the people in this village our technology.”

Eru who had pulled out from Addy’s arms said that in the front of her face.

“Although the Descend Rad has a simple design, it still uses the technology in our Silhouette Knights.”

“I see. It would be easier to understand if they can actually see it right・・・”

“I didn’t want to break it that much but・・・・I’m sure, it would be difficult. They have to learn it by their hand rather than their eyes after all.”

Addy closed her eyes for a while. As its owner, she might be sentimental about it. Eventually, she raises her face with a smile.

“Yeah, I’m fine! We have to fix Ikaruga and Shii-chan, right!”

“Thank you, Addy. I promise to fix it back. Even though it may be different from before, I will make it to able to move again.”

Thus, Ernesti Eru Echavalier had begun to move. In his blueprint, a man-made monster comparable to the demonic beast that live in the forest was starting to move.
