"Alright, are you two ready?"
A day after the audience.
Ruli, Alma and I went to the dungeon.
We need most of the students for the barrier creation, and those students need to be able to use chantless magic.
Even though the teachers have gotten used with chantless magic lesson, teaching all of them in one week will still be difficult.
Therefore, we agreed that we needed around three weeks before we could begin the barrier creation in earnest.
"Yes! I'm good anytime!"
"Me too, all perfect!"
"Then, let's go!"
Thus, I started the search for one of the materials needed to create the barrier; a 60cm magic stone.
Well clearing the dungeon would take some time, so today's main objective is teaching Ruli and Alma magic.
"Alma, you can shoot 【Simple Mana Enchant】 without a problem right?"
"I can do it with my eyes closed now! I mean I've shot like hundreds of it!"
"Then, the next one is 【Wire-guided Enchant】. Alma, try using 【Simple Mana Enchant】 but stop before you shoot it."
"Un!"
Alma put her mana on the arrow she readied.
It's still a bit crude, but she got the passing mark. At this degree of completion, she should be able to learn the next enchant.
"You'll shoot that arrow.... but this time, try to concentrate your consciousness on the arrow before you do. Connect the arrow with a mana thread and feel as if you hold the endpoint."
"Hm...Like this?"
I could sense mana coiling on the slight space between the shot arrow and Alma.
The range is only about 3 meters.... It's good enough to get the feel.
"Then, try to make the arrow curve to the right using that thread as an intermediately...."
"Oooh, it curved!"
Alma's arrow slightly turned right.
She really has a good sense.
"This is called guided enchant. Once you can make the arrow turn at your will, you don't need to worry about line of fire anymore. Also, that arrow can penetrate right?"
"It can easily penetrate a mere hermit crab..."
"Then, first you should practice shooting through two crabs at once."
Doing it on one crab is easy, but you need to have an unexpectedly good control to penetrate two crabs with differences in highs and lows.
It should be optimum for her practice.
And since I've hanged the pendant from yesterday on my neck, I should also get a bit of experience points from it.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
"Don't go to other floors for now okay."
"Got it!"
After she said that, Alma left us to hunt hermit crabs.
This means she'll be a bit away from us, but I can sense if she's in any danger with 【Passive Detection】 as long as she's in the same floor, so there's no need to fret.
After confirming that Alma turned at a corner, I turned my line of sight to Ruli.
"Is it time for Augment magic at last!?"
Ruli raised her voice before I could say anything.
However, unfortunately, augment magic isn't the thing I'm going to teach her now.
"Augment magic.... Or rather, first we need to make the materials for it. You should make your own weapon if you want to do augmentation."
First of all, if a First Crest bearer needs to bring a sword whenever they want to practice, they will never have enough money on them. If they can create their own sword, they can practice anytime they want.
Moreover, if you want to master augment magic, you'll have to be able to concurrently use augment magic while you're creating a sword. Thus, blacksmithing is indispensable for it.
"Creating weapons....? But don't you need to train for years or even dozens of years to become a blacksmith...."
"If you're going pro, yep that's about right."
Even if she took the shortest route using the knowledge of my past life, it would still likely take her several hundreds years to completely master blacksmithing.
However, it isn't that difficult if it's only to surpass the swords you can find in the present royal capital.
"Well, I'll teach you weapon creation later, first our problem is.... procuring the materials. In short, metal refinery."
