Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 107
“Dragon Vein ConnectionAstral Connect?”
Mm.”
Marie-san nodded as she shouted out the name of the secret elven tribe’s spell.
The Dragon Vein Connect Astral Connect is a spell that brings magic power outside the body under control by becoming one with the nature ……. Well, it’s rapid recovery magic, if you ask me.”
“Rapid Recovery Magic ……?
“It’s kind of cunning.”
“Yes, it is. It’s not fair. But if you can use it, it will make all the difference in the battle.”
If you can recover magic power during a battle, you can exhaust the enemy by that amount. If you can recover magic power once more, you can attack the enemy one-sidedly when he is out of magic power. In addition, since you don’t have to save magic power, it allows to attack without worrying about consuming magic power, which gives the upper hand in terms of both power and number of rounds.
It is truly a battle changer. Although it is possible to recover with potions, the speed of recovery with potions cannot keep up with the speed of recovery during battle. In other words, if we can use the Dragon Vein Connection Astral Connect, the probability of survival ……, or more specifically, the probability of winning the battle, will increase significantly. That is why this secret spell of the elves had such high value that it was considered a secret.
“The key to Dragon Vein Astral Connect lies in the fact that it does not distinguish between the magical element inside the body and the magical element of the …… nature outside of the body. In a word, it is a subject-object separation. We deliberately break down the barriers of our unconscious consciousness and realize that we are part of the nature . By doing so, the range of the self that the pineal gland can affect is expanded beyond the limitations of the physical body, and tremendous power is gained.”
Marie explains it to us, but it is difficult to understand. I don’t know what she is talking about when he says something about an unconscious barrier of consciousness.
“It is difficult.”
Iris also had a troubled look on her face. The same is true for Lily. It seems that training in magic also requires a lot of thinking.
” Have you ever wondered how a spirit can handle such strong magical power?”
“A spirit?Does that mean spirit magic?’
“It could be spirit magic, or it could be magic exercised by the spirits themselves. Either way, it would be more efficient and powerful than what human beings use,”
Yes, I have seen spirit magic a few times, and in each case it was clearly more powerful than the magic it expended.”
Lily said so, and if you ask me, it was indeed true. I have often had the opportunity to watch Mei use earth-based spirit magic, and it occurred to me that she was able to use magic of a very large scale with her not-quite-so-massive amount of magical power.
“I was wondering why …… spirits can use more powerful magic than humans?”
“Because they have less ego.
“Ego is thin?
‘Yes. We humans have a clear barrier that separates us from the rest of the world. That wall is the body. Inside the physical body is the self. Outside is the other, and there is a clear wall, isn’t there?”
“Indeed.”
That wall is something that every living being has from the moment of birth . I feel that it is something that we cannot help but have as long as we have weight.
“But a spirit does not have a body. In addition, they have very little ego. From the moment they are born, they are united with the nature. That is why even the magical elements outside of oneself are under one’s influence, and as a result, they are able to use magic that is higher than one’s own rank.”
Marie says this casually, but I believe that this is only possible for spirits and not for humans in general. I don’t think it is possible for a human being to overcome the physical barrier.
‘Um, ……, Master. Is that something humans can do?”
“You can accomplished it , but it’s hard.”
Marie , while shortly replying, puts her palms together with a “bang” as if she were clapping oak hands, and closes her eyes as if meditating.
“Watch me.”
I watched Marie for a few seconds, who had fallen silent as she was. The change came immediately.
“……, the magic power!”
The magic elements around are being drawn towards Marie. And at the same time, Marie’s magic power is rapidly increasing.
“Well, I guess this is how it is.”
When Marie released her mind from meditation, the magical power that had been gathering quickly dissipated. At the same time, the tension in the air around them disappeared.
“This is the Dragon Vein Connection Astral Connect …….”
“Amazing.”
After all, Marie is amazing. The most powerful of the empire’ has been demonstrated.
“As you can see, there is nothing humans can’t do. But it is very hard to do. , because one must extinguish one’s own will with the will of one’s own self.”
The subject and the object are not divided. A state of harmony with nature, a state of unselfishness, where the self and the Other are not yet separated.
There is nothing that we cannot do. Since “Practice makes perfect,” I am sure I will be able to do it someday. But will I be able to use it by the time I finish this training? Would I be able to master it while I was being instructed by Marie? That was a slight factor that made me uneasy.
The next day. While working on our own curriculum, we began our training in Dragon Vein Connection Astral Connect. For the time being, all three of us will be practicing Dragon Vein Connect in the morning and each of us will be practicing our own magic in the afternoon.
“Hey, , you guys!Dragon veins flowing through the air, water, and ground!Be aware of every magical element that fills this world!”
“Yes!”
” Then draw them all at once!Receive them with your skin, lungs, and every fiber of your being!If you’re not careful, you’ll naturally lose all your magical energy!”
“Yes!”
Marie’s training is spartan. It is as strict as in the military, but it is better that there are no psychological attacks and physical scolding. In fact, I am relieved that I am in the Special Division because there is no such kind of black athletic atmosphere in the Special Division. Because in the military, unless one is a member of the royal family, rank is everything, and it has nothing to do with family background or nobility. If the ranks are the same, they will give consideration, but if the rank is lower, it’s “yes or no” without question. It’s a truly horrifying social system.
“Here, there!Don’t think about anything else!I’ll give you 20 more moves later!”
“Geeeeeeeeeee!”
Correction. Marie is a devil’. I don’t know her rank (or even if she’s a soldier to begin with)!
‘Impossible. Even if I could sense the magic element outside my body, I can’t meddle with it.”
“Yes, that’s where I’m having trouble. If it’s magic power, I can move it freely, but not the magical element. It is not under my control in the first place.”
“I can’t move it without putting it under my control, but to put it under my control, I need to move it ……?Huh, huh?”
As we were crouching with our heads in our hands, Marie offered us some tea.
“Delicious.”
“Cold tea. That’s unusual.”
“I see, Master uses all of the four great attributes, doesn’t she?”
“Yes. If you apply the water and wind attributes, you can do something similar to the ice attribute.”
The ice attribute is a magic that interferes directly (in the direction of lowering) the temperature of an object. The ice attribute is a magic that directly interferes with the temperature of an object (in the lowering direction). However, if the water and wind attributes are used together, it is possible to create a similar result based on the principle of heat vaporization. The point is that if the process is the same as the result, it does not matter what the method is, there is no need to be concerned about a specific attribute. Or should I say that a skilled mage can achieve the same result even with a completely different attribute? In any case, Marie was the top mage.
“You seem to be in a lot of trouble You see, in order to manipulate a magical element, you need to bring it under your control, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to move it. What I just showed you is merely the process of taking control of the magical element and then transferring it into the body and absorbing it. The process required is to put the magical element under your control. To do that, you need to extend the range of the self.”
“That’s the difficulty, that’s why we’ re in difficulty.”
a”That’s right. How can we expand the range of the self?”
Marie-san heard that and smiled.
“A spirit.”
“A spirit?”
“If you are a spirit, this is an easy thing to do. Then, it would be better to ask a being close to a spirit to teach you how to do it.”
“A being close to a genie …………, perhaps!”
Lily exclaimed. It seems that something had been noticed.
“Is it a divine beast ……?”
“Mm, that’s correct.”
Marie nodded in satisfaction. Apparently, we can ask our own divine beast that we summoned to give us a lecture on how to do it, or perhaps to connect our paths, or something of that sort.
…… Well, what should I do? My Divine Beast, the egg
