I Succeeded with Combined Magic
“Oh, mist is coming out.”
When I looked up at my raised hands, I saw that a cloud of mist was spreading out from them.
And while the wind quickly pushed it away, as long as I concentrated, the mist continued to appear.
“It’s all foggy! That’s amazing, papa!”
“Haha. It is?”
Liza threw her hands in the air happily.
I laughed, which affected my concentration, and the mist stopped coming out.
That was a little disappointing, but now that I know how to do it, it should be easy next time.
I had grasped the feeling of moving your magic energy.
“…I didn’t think you would do it right in the middle of the explanation. And you succeeded as well.”
“Huh? You were still explaining it?”
Claire muttered as she looked at the area above my head.
Apparently, she had meant to explain it in further detail.
But I had gone ahead and used the magic successfully.
That’s why she was surprised, I guess?
“Yes. I was going to teach you how to concentrate and maintain it… But I suppose such things are not necessary for you, Mr. Takumi.”
“I wouldn’t say that… But I guess you were very good at explaining it to me up until now. Besides, you demonstrated it, so it wasn’t difficult to understand.”
“…Is that so? Well, it was worth the effort for me then.”
“Yes. And so don’t worry, it wasn’t like I didn’t need you or anything.”
“…Need me…”
Hmm? Ms. Claire was suddenly deep in thought.
Had I said something wrong?
“Sister, what’s the matter?”
“Oh! Uh, nothing, little Liza.”
“Really? You seem strange?”
“Oh, I am quite fine! I was just a little stunned because of Mr. Takumi. He was amazing, wasn’t he?”
“Yes! He used all kinds of magic! Both of you were amazing!”
“Oh, me too? Hehe…”
Liza had looked at Ms. Claire with a worried and puzzled expression.
And so Ms. Claire smiled and assured her that she was fine.
It wasn’t just me, but Liza was also very impressed by Ms. Claire’s demonstration.
Ms. Claire laughed as she saw Liza wag her tail excitedly.
Yes, yes. Ms. Claire was the best when she smiled.
“Ms. Claire. Are there any other magic combinations?”
“Mr. Takumi…yes. Like I said earlier, it is possible to combine powerful magic. However, the chants become terribly long.”
In order to distract Ms. Claire from Liza’s wagging tail, I asked her about magic combinations.
And so she explained it to me cheerfully.
Powerful magic, eh? While that sounded very appealing, I doubted I would be able to do it for a while.
Besides, not only did they use more energy, but the chants became longer as well.
Sebastian had told me that there were chants that took a whole day to complete. And even if they weren’t that long, they might take at least a few minutes.
That was definitely not something that I could use during combat.
“Furthermore, you can also combine more than three types of magic.”
“It’s not just two?”
“Yes. However…”
“What?”
“It becomes significantly more difficult. Combining two can be hard enough, but when you go up to three and four and…”
“Ah…of course.”
While I had managed to succeed earlier…I was not confident in my ability to combine three.
“Also, it’s not just the magic energy you have to think about, but the effect as well. Sometimes, it is practically like developing entirely new magic on your own.”
“New magic… Yes, I don’t think that I can do that.”
Combining different things to make something new…it was similar to a science experiment, perhaps.
“In fact, for a long time, combining three types was thought to be the limit. And only a small number of people have been able to do four or more.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, it is written in texts or are otherwise just rumors. But that is what they say. Of course, the person who did more than four also had a Gift, so perhaps it was because of that.”
“I see… If you have a Gift, then it might not be purely magic, and so no one else can do it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
So there was someone who had succeeded in combining more than four types of magic.
But it was likely that it was the Gift’s power…
While I also had a Gift, it was probably different from Weed Cultivation, and something related to magic.
…I felt a little jealous.
But then again, my ability has been quite useful as well. And one shouldn’t complain about what they didn’t have.
