Sylphia Makina.
　She is a teacher of Magical Arts and Potions, and is also the homeroom teacher of Class D of the first year of high school, to which Elysia and I belong.

　She was working on some paperwork at her desk when she rolled her eyes at my visit.

"Do you want to talk to me about ......?

"Yes.

　When I nodded my head, Dr. Sylphias rolled her eyes in surprise.

I'm sorry. I'll come back later if you're busy.

"Oh, no. No problem. I'm not sure what to make of it. ...... I was a little surprised, because you've always been a quiet student and I've always had the impression that you were very observant.

I was a little surprised. "...... Are you that observant?

"Yes, very. I am. ...... And yet, I sometimes make fatal mistakes.

Fatal failure ......?　I can't think of any.

You're the only one who's ever made sleeping gas or tear gas in class. Ever since that day, I've been very careful every time I teach Potions.

　Professor Sylphia said, looking very tired.

"Well, that aside, ......, I'll do my best to help you, since you're a lovely student. What do you want to talk about?

　I explained the details to Mr. Sylphias, who was back to his normal self.
　I explained the details to Dr. Sylphia. I told her that I had become biased towards compression, and that my learning of magic had been delayed due to this constitution.

"I see. ...... bias.

　After he had finished speaking, Mr. Sylphias appeared to be satisfied.

I've been wondering if it's possible, given the way you've been teaching. ...... If you're gifted, you may have trouble with D-rank magic. It made sense to me.

　I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to make of that. She's not exactly a lecturer specializing in magic.

"Just for the record, it's an inherent constitution, isn't it?

Yes.

　I heard that it was actually an acquired condition, but as Chris said, it would be better to lie here to make the conversation go more smoothly.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand. You can find out more about this by visiting ...... and experiencing the real world. In the real world, specialized magic is required rather than diverse magic. The reason for this is that in real life, the roles and responsibilities are determined. For this reason, most people who have experienced actual battle long for the skill of becoming a genius. Your abilities will be of great use to you in the future.

　After explaining that much, Professor Sylphia looked at me again.
　To be exact, he looked at the school uniform I was wearing.

But ...... you're a regular student, aren't you? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing. Don't worry.

"Thank you.

　Feeling the concern for my student, I bowed my head.

"Well. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this subject in the future.

Yes. I'd like to have a magic that I can use in any situation without hesitation.

　When I told her what I wanted to discuss, she put her finger on her chin and thought about it.

I'm sure you're aware of that. It's a vicious power, and you'll have to be creative to use it without concern. ......

"Evil, huh? ......

I'm not sure.　I'm not sure what to say.　It's not just that Twite's genius is evil, it's that ...... powerful!　I'm not sure what to say.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Compression is a technique that raises the instantaneous performance of a spell in exchange for reducing its area of effect or duration.
　The "magic bullet" that I am using is a spell that normally only gives an impact equivalent to a single punch with the bare hands. But since I am using it as a deadly magic, it can certainly be described as vicious.

Well, Twight, you want to know how to fight safely, don't you?

Yes.

And you want to be safe (・・・・・・・・・), not only for yourself, but for your opponent as well, is that correct?

Yes.

　I know how to fight in a way that is unsafe for both myself and others. But that's not enough to blend into everyday life.
　The Magic Festival is an event that is valued because of the peace.
　I want to learn how to fight in a peaceful world.

There are two ways I can teach you at this point: ......

　The first is this.

The first is this.

　The first is this. Right after she said this, a wall of magic power formed in front of her.

Is it a barrier?

Yes. A remote-assistance D-rank spell, "Barrier". It's a simple spell that creates an invisible wall in front of the magician, but it should work well with Twight's Eclecticism. You can try it out at .......

I've never used magic before.

　I've never used this spell before. I don't know how.


　At the agency, he had been trained to fight alone, so the idea of learning supportive magic had never occurred to him.

You can chant if you want.

　When I was having a hard time activating the spell, Dr. Sylphia said.

　Chanting is the act of saying the name of a spell when you cast it.
　Normally, magic is stabilized in form and effect by one's own image, but chanting assists in this process. In the Kingdom of Terraria, from the age of five, you have to be trained to connect the name of the spell with the image, and I was given this training right after I was picked up by the agency.

"Barrier.

　As soon as I say the name of the magic, the image is completed in my mind almost reflexively.
　Basically, I prefer not to chant - that is, to skip chanting and complete the image in my mind alone, but there are many unfamiliar spells that cannot be activated without chanting like this. The advantage of chanting is that the spell is more stable, while the disadvantage is that it delays the casting of the spell because the spell name is spoken out loud. As I specialized in assassination and surprise attacks, the delay in casting spells was a big disadvantage for me, so I rarely had the chance to cast spells by chanting.

You've successfully activated it.

　Looking at the wall of magic power that appeared in front of my eyes, Dr. Sylphia said.

Compression is a technique that interferes with the shape of the magic, so it is not suitable for magic with unstable shapes such as the Fireball. On the other hand, the Barrier is a D-ranked spell, but it has a fixed shape, so I judged that Twait-kun could activate it without any problem.

"...... I see.

I think it's difficult for you to learn the attribute sphere with D rank magic. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it, but I'm not sure it's the best choice for you either.

Are you saying that magic with attributes is not suitable for you?

Unfortunately, yes. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it. The same goes for the C-ranked spell Attribute Wall, which is an attribute added to ...... Barriers.

　Some magic has attributes such as fire or water.
　For example, an attribute bullet is an attribute added to the "magic bullet" that I use. Fire bullets (fire bullets) with fire attribute can burn the target as soon as they hit it.

　Compared to the Attribute Ball, the Attribute Bullet still has a stable shape. If you take your time, you may be able to trigger this. I don't think it's suitable for you, and in fact I don't think it's suitable for me either, but it's a good idea to consider it as a candidate for a new technique.

"By the way, Mr. Toate. Is this unconscious?

　Dr. Sylphia said, pointing at the barrier I had deployed.
　I didn't understand the meaning of her words, so I asked her back.

What does it mean?

"...... No. It's unconscious, isn't it?

　Then Dr. Sylphia explained.

The normal barrier is large enough to completely cover the body of the practitioner, but Twight's barrier is compressed to about half that size. It's a very powerful form of genius. ......

　Dr. Sylphia muttered.

"Mr. Toate. I'm not sure if you're aware of the characteristics of the barrier?

It's a magic that creates a wall in front of you to protect you from your opponent's magic. I remember it was weak against physical attacks.

That's right. But if you're as gifted as Twight, you might be able to compress it to a hardness that would prevent physical attacks. ...... If that can be achieved, I think this magic will be a useful weapon for Twight in all situations.

...... Indeed.

　I've been thinking that building a wall to prevent magic isn't very versatile, but if I make good use of my own constitution, it might be a technique that I can turn into.

　When I was thinking about how to use the "barrier" in my head, I noticed that ...... Dr. Sylphia was looking at me with a deep sense of emotion.

This reminds me of ...... Sion-kun.

　I guess she was talking to herself.
　But when I heard those words clearly, I remembered the story that Chris had told me.

　--Sylphia Machina is the mentor of the hero Xion Vale.

　Technically, he is a master of magic.
　I didn't know this until Chris told me about it, but Professor Sylphias was a great teacher who had risen to become an authority on magic at the age of twenty. He is now a teacher at the school, but before that, he had been inundated with offers from many research institutes. He was chosen as the mentor of the brave Zion not because he happened to be a teacher at the school, but because of his pure ability.

　An ordinary magic teacher cannot instantly understand the characteristics of polarization and derive the most suitable magic. Chris had explained this to me beforehand, and I was once again impressed by Professor Sylphia's skill.

"Sir. What's the other way?

"Oh, yes. Then I will explain the second method as well.

　Dr. Sylphia said that there were two things that could be taught.
　The first one is about the application of the barrier. I ask about the second one.

Maybe you've always used compression (・・・・・・) magic, Twight.

That's true, but ......

Then I think you should learn to deliberately undo that maintenance.

　I don't understand what you're saying.
　I don't know what you're talking about." "I don't know what you're talking about," Dr. Sylphias explained, smiling at my furrowed brow.

I'm sure you can figure it out. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. ...... What do you think will happen if you release all the compressed magic at once?
