"If ...... wants to learn new magic, why don't you just do it?

"If I could do that, I wouldn't be asking for help.

　I said with a sigh.

"Chris. I didn't realize it until now, but could it be that I'm not very good at magic?

"...... Well, may I ask how you came to that conclusion?

"I'm learning magic too slowly. I think I've been practicing, but I still can't even use D-rank magic to my satisfaction. I'm probably the only one who can't even use a fireball compared to my peers at school.

"...... Oh, I see.

　Chris said as if he was convinced.

"I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you. Your body has been genetically altered by the institution's education.

"......"?

　The word was unfamiliar to me, and I furrowed my brow.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. Compression, multiple activation, and parallel activation ...... can be used to make normal magic more advanced.

　That's what I learned at the agency. This information is not particularly confidential. Even a student can easily look it up if they want to, and you can find plenty of reference material at the library.
　However, what he said next was something I did not know at all.

"Bias is the creation of a constitution that specializes in a certain method of operation. A person who is bi-polarized is far more effective than a normal person in the use of magic power.

　That's completely new to me.
　I asked Chris calmly, as he explained without hesitation.

"......, so I'm one of them?

"Yes. You're becoming a bit of a genius at compression.

　Chris says, matter-of-factly.

"For example, the Magic Bullet you use, which specializes in speed and penetration. The mechanism is simple, but no one else can copy it, right?　That's because you're a genius at compression. You're the only one who can take a simple E rank magic and turn it into a magic with such high killing power. Incidentally, 02 (Oz) is also bi-specialized in parallel activation.

　As I listened to Chris, I lightly scratched the back of my hair.

I scratched my hair back lightly as I listened to Chris say, "...... doesn't really feel like it. I'm not sure how long I've had my body altered like that.

"Well, the agency didn't bother to explain. The agency didn't bother to explain it, but there's no need to be pessimistic.　It's no exaggeration to say that becoming a genius is a state of mastery that everyone envies. In fact, very few soldiers in the agency have mastered it.

That's why I was the only one with an individualized curriculum when I was in training.

That's what I mean. In order to learn how to become a genius, you need to study a specific magic operation relentlessly. It's also a great way to make sure you don't end up in a situation where you can't get out of it.

　The fact that it was agreed to after the fact is a bit unconvincing, but considering my position at the time of ......, it can't be helped. I'm sure the agency didn't have time to think about what would happen after the war was over, and more importantly, I didn't think about it myself. Even if I had been consulted beforehand, I would have agreed to it.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on, but I'm not sure you can. This is the reason why you can't handle normal magic very well. ...... Of the many ways to use magic, compression is a particularly tricky technique. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"...... I see.

　Multiple activations and parallel activations are techniques that allow you to apply normal magic while retaining its original form. In contrast, compression is a technique that changes the original form. I'm not very good at using magic in its original form because I specialize in that.

You had a B-rank magic power when you registered with the guild in King's Landing last month, right?

Yeah.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it. The exception to this is partiality. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. I'm sure the masters know about it, but they didn't expect the students to have mastered it.

　I have a pretty good idea of what's going on.
　It seems that the reason why I, who can't even use D-rank magic well, was able to achieve a high level of magical power was because of my eccentric constitution.

You can't solve this problem, can you?

I'm sure you can solve it if you want to, but I don't recommend it. Again, the power is valuable and very strong. You've been saved by it many times, haven't you?

　That's true. Chris is right.

So, can I still learn normal magic while I'm biased?　I need some magic that I can use without fear of being seen for the competition next month. ......

"...... I see, you wanted to learn magic for the competition.

　Chris's voice sounded somewhat happy as he muttered that.
　He might have thought that I was enjoying my daily life smoothly. In fact, that's true.

'All right. I'll introduce you to someone I trust. You can talk to him about the rest.



"...... someone we can trust?

"I'm not talking about our status, okay?　I'm talking about someone we can trust with our knowledge and skill in magic. Fortunately, he's at the academy.

　Chris continued.

"Eclecticism is a rare condition that can be inherited. So when you talk to him, tell him it's inborn. Acquired bias can only be learned through special training, so if they know about it, they might be inquisitive.

Okay.

　I'll pretend that my bias is inborn.
　A lie of that magnitude would be easy to penetrate. There's not much room for error.

So, who is this person?

"It's--



　After school.



　After school. I immediately went to visit the person Chris introduced to me.
　At the moment, the students of the hawk group were outside practicing for the competition festival. I just told my teammates who were participating in the physical race that I had some business to attend to, and went back to the school building.

　Magical Arts Preparation Room.
　Seeing the words on the plate, I confirmed that this was the room I wanted, and knocked on the door.

Excuse me.

　As I opened the door, I saw a woman in the room looking at me.

"Oh, Mr. Toate?

　I told the blue-haired woman what I wanted.

"Dr. Sylphia. I'm here to discuss a few things.
