The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 488
Chapter 488
The power of magical power enhancement that has been refined to the limit does not release mana.
In the first place, the whole body of a person who strengthens magical power is covered with blue aura, it was just a kind of incomplete combustion caused by the release of mana that was not properly condensed.
Therefore, proper magical power enhancement does not cause a release of power.
full power enhancement.
I succeeded in taking that first step.
Although it is only a small part of my mana, I was able to compress that power to the limit in calmness and silence, and achieve extremely refined magic enhancement that does not cause the release of power.
“I wondered if I had a strange wind about practicing the sword, but it seems that there was some kind of achievement.”
Even though I didn’t say anything, Luna smiled slightly as if she had read something in my eyes.
To be honest, neither Luna nor Ronan taught me anything.
Strictly speaking, it was Artha who gave that hint.
“Try it.”
I knew what to do, so I immediately used magical power enhancement.
A very small portion of the mana I have.
Not for the release of strong power, but with the feeling that my image becomes the flow of mana and flows through my body.
Not for battle.
With the feeling of expressing a calm image in the body.
There was no change whatsoever, but a sense of exhilaration as magical energy circulated through the body wrapped around the whole body.
Although the output is definitely weaker than when it was full power, there was a clear sense that it was producing maximum efficiency.
Luna quietly watches as I succeed in strengthening my refined magical power to the limit.
and.
Watching me like that, Luna put her thumb and middle finger together and aimed at my forehead.
“… … mother?”
A posture that is often referred to as the night.
– Right!
“Yuk!”
In the unstoppable night of grinding, I was thrown back with my head wide and turned round.
no what
What is it all of a sudden!
“no! Why are you like this all of a sudden!”
When I shouted, Luna smiled and pointed at me.
“I want to see you.”
“… … ?”
The body that Luna pointed to was clearly pale, but it was wrapped in blue mana.
I immediately understood what she wanted to say.
Just one hit in the night broke his composure. So, he lost control over the flow of mana he was controlling, and mana was being released to the outside.
“Isn’t it still too much to use in practice?”
“… … yes.”
Maintaining a calm image and completely controlling the flow of mana.
I must use this power for battle.
Therefore, it was impossible to use it in practice with the image of being disturbed by one hit.
After taking a few deep breaths again, the mana that had been released to the outside soon lost its light and disappeared. However, the magical power enhancement was not cancelled.
Luna lifts me up when I fall.
“Keep it like this all day.”
“So that the homeostasis of the mind can be revealed as the homeostasis of the body.”
“Managing mana becomes more natural than breathing, so that in the end you can forget even the sense that you are managing mana.”
“Do you understand?”
Maintaining this intact magical enhancement throughout the day means that you must maintain a calm image throughout the day.
It should become too natural, and in the end, it should be at a level where you can’t even tell if I’m strengthening my magic power.
If I can reach that stage, it would mean that I have reached a stage where I can maintain a calm image throughout the day without much effort.
Maintain a clear image without conscious or effort.
It will soon enter the stage of clear water.
“yes.”
Strengthen your magic all day long. It’s also very sophisticated.
Enhancing mana throughout the day, and maintaining a very sophisticated level of mana enhancement.
could that be
“It starts with enduring the day like that.”
Of course, I thought so, but Luna’s words that this is the beginning just sounded vague to me.
* * *
What Luna made me do is very simple.
To maintain horsepower enhancement throughout the day.
There is no change in the fact that my magic power is one of the few in the world. That’s why I was able to use magical power enhancement for a much longer time than most people.
Even if it emits output as it is in its original way, it can be maintained for at least two hours. Even though the efficiency is so low, it is at that level.
So, it should actually be easy to maintain the magic enhancement all day, which uses only a fraction of the amount of magic I have.
of course.
It wasn’t easy at all.
“Hey what are you doing?”
-Tuk
“Ah! This bastard!”
“What is it? Why are you angry all of a sudden?”
As Arta approached and tapped my shoulder, I frowned when I saw the blue magical light emanating from my body.
It’s not just about maintaining magical power, it’s about maintaining immobility.
It wasn’t normal to stay that way all day.
* * *
For a week after receiving Luna’s assignment, I was careful not to encounter any external stimuli.
Of course, I knew that this was an act that misunderstood Luna’s intentions.
It would mean that what I had to do wasn’t to lock myself in a corner or sit under a waterfall and maintain my enchantment all day long, but to maintain my enchantment to the extreme as I went about my daily life.
It would mean that you have to maintain that state even while you are eating, having a conversation with someone, or helping out with farming work.
But I couldn’t even get to that stage.
I just sat on the bed alone and maintained that extreme magical enhancement, and I couldn’t last even an hour.
If you keep it for about 30 minutes, your whole body is drenched in cold sweat, and eventually the condition is released because you are tired of self-control.
Even if no one else touched it, it was difficult to just maintain that state by myself.
If you put all your nerves into maintaining peace of mind, you will get tired of it.
I was actually feeling the bizarre threshold at which peace of mind was ruined by trying to maintain it.
Concentrating too much might be a problem, so if you distract, of course, the texture of magical power enhancement will change, and you have no choice but to return to the existing magical power enhancement method, in which mana is released to the outside.
In the first place, the existing method of strengthening magical power was only possible by concentrating the mind to the limit. It was quite difficult to get used to the magical power enhancement that already consumes mental power, but you have to get used to a new method that requires you to concentrate your mind several times more.
It’s been 2 weeks since I learned the new method of magical power enhancement.
“… … I’m going crazy.”
Even with minimal external stimuli, I could not maintain this state for more than two hours.
* * *
In the end, I didn’t want to be able to do this either, but I couldn’t stand the frustration, so I met Arta and Lena as if they were friends for a day.
“What have you been doing these days, wriggling around like a sick person?”
“… … okay.”
Arta said that when she went outside, she wondered where she had seen her stepping and taking a short break, then walking and taking a short break, just in case the concentration of her magical powers would be relieved.
If someone who didn’t know his circumstances saw it, he would have wondered where he was.
Arta nodded as if she finally understood why I was in this shape these days.
“Magic enhancement all day long? can you do that?”
Lena tilted her head and looked at Arta and asked.
“What about Arta? you can do it?”
“Well, I’ve never tried it, but I’ll burn out before then.”
No, then this guy can do it all day long as long as his horsepower allows it?
To remain immobile throughout the day.
The personality that would be suitable for doing this would be Ellen.
Saviolin Tana, who rose to the ranks of grandmaster, was also a person who seemed to have little emotional ups and downs.
Of course, Ellen’s personality is originally the same, but do people who have mastered magical power enhancement naturally evolve into something similar to the personality?
But no matter how you look at it, Arta didn’t look like that guy.
He’s not a frivolous guy, but he’s not a dumbass either.
“Hey, what’s your secret to concentration?”
“… … secret?”
“okay.”
Arta is not a guy who seems to have a lot of mental training.
However, even though it was practice sparring, Arta was a guy who could use extreme magical power enhancement in actual combat.
If I were to use and maintain extreme magical power enhancement, I would have to be very careful with my movements.
Of course, I can’t even dream of practice sparring.
I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think there’s anything I could want for Arta.
At my question, Arta sighed and folded her arms.
“well… … . I’m not sure if there’s a secret to it… … .”
It is true that this guy is superior to me and Ellen simply by looking at the quality of magical power enhancement. Although neither I nor Ellen can compare to Arta in terms of actual skill.
“I don’t know. Like you, I have to say that I maintain my magic power all day long, but I’ve never done anything like that.”
“Isn’t it okay to try?”
At Arta’s words, Lena said so.
* * *
Unexpectedly, Arta did what I was doing.
It wasn’t like being hit by a waterfall like before, just sitting quietly in the clearing and maintaining the magic power up.
This continuous maintenance ends at the moment when concentration is disturbed and mana is released to the outside. I can refocus and come back to that state, but all Luna wants from me is to stay in this state all day.
“… … Whoa, damn it.”
I stayed that way for about an hour and then I got tired.
The amount of magic power was sufficient, but it felt like my mental strength was being eaten away in real time.
On the other hand, Arta sat still, focused, and did not move.
In the end, I sat next to him for about three hours while concentrating and repeating the situation in which it was disturbed.
“Ah, I’m tired too, so I can’t do it now.”
As if her magic power had almost run out, Arta fell over after holding out for about three hours.
I felt like my mental power was being eaten away, so it took about an hour.
Arta has no problem with mental strength, but due to the limit of magic power, it lasts for about three hours.
That was their limit.
“I don’t know, but are you saying Arta is really great?”
Lena didn’t even know what we were doing in the first place, so she just tilted her head according to this result.
“I hate to admit it, but I do.”
“Why do you insist on saying that you don’t want to admit it?”
Artha giggled, limp.
I don’t know how much Arta’s actual magic power is, but it won’t be very high. However, it is only using that mana with maximum efficiency.
That means that when I make this method fully my own, I will be able to obtain unparalleled strength and staying power.
“Anyway, I don’t know. The secret to mental focus? I don’t know. I don’t know.”
Arta said that while lying on the dirt floor and staring blankly at the sky.
The secret to good mental focus.
When I think about it, I want to know what it is like Arta said.
I’m good at concentrating my mind, so what else is there other than being good at it?
“Hmm, I don’t know. I think I know the difference between Arta and Reinhardt.”
However, Lena, who is an outsider but had watched me and Arta for three hours, tilted her head and said so.
“okay?”
Rena nodded at Arta’s question.
“Arta has no idea.”
“… … uh? suddenly?”
Arta was dumbfounded by the out-of-the-box remark that she was ignorant.
“And Reinhardt thinks too much.”
“… … Is that so?”
“So, Arta seems to be a bit stretched out, like something to be done, but Reinhardt should be said to be giving strength to his whole body and eyes… … .”
Lena sees me.
“Looking at you, Reinhardt, makes me feel tired too.”
“ah… … .”
“I’m tired of watching you, but how tired must you be?”
“Isn’t it natural that your mind will be disturbed as you stretch?”
At my words, Lena pointed her finger at Arta, who was lying in the clearing in silence.
A real case of being good at concentrating your mind even when you are stretched out.
Lena’s simple point left me speechless.
“I do think, too… … .”
Arta didn’t seem happy to hear from Lena that she was a brainless person.
