Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 12: Chapter 9: The Magic of This World (2/3)

Y-You want to use Lightning Magic? Thats a bit sudden.

Tina was slightly taken aback.

Yup! Lightning is cool, you see!

Im ok practicing behind Tinas back, but then, its a waste since I already have this worlds greatest mage as my teacher.

Learning lightning magic would be faster if I practice while listening to her.

CoolW-Well, thats true, indeed.

Tina looked like she was considering it for a moment.

Since Halt-sama can perfectly wield magic on his first magic practice, I guess you might be able to use Lightning Magic too.

Tina was proactively beginning to consider teaching me lightning magic.

Just one more push, I guess.

Yeah, I wanna try using Lightning Magic, but I also want to see Tina use it. You can, right? Lightning Magic.

Tina has the tertiary occupation of mage swordsman that means shes someone who excels both in wielding swords and casting magic.

I thought that since its her, she would be able to cast a magic considered to so difficult only a handful of people could use it.

Of course!!

My prediction was spot on, since Tina puffed her chest out and proudly declared.

Alright, let me show you an example. Please watch closely how I cast my cool Lightning Magic spell!

Tina faced the target that had been installed in the training hall, and she started releasing mana.

My battle occupation had become Sage thanks to Evil God transmigrating me, so I could see the mana that Tina was wrapped in.

It was massive.

Yesterday, Tina had completely destroyed the target using Fire Lance, the lowest type of fire magic spell, but the amount of mana she used was nowhere near the amount she was releasing to the air right now.

I-it felt as if something terrible is about to happen.

Destruction is my desire

With the seed of thunder

My power I sacrifice

Tina suddenly started to chant.

In this world, the power of the spells would change depending on how you imagine it, so pre-chant existed, and it served to clearly define the spell no matter what kind of magic it was.

Even the lowest level of spell, Fire Lance, also had its own chant.

However, since the lowest level of each attribute almost directly expresses the form and nature of the spell, very few people care to do the whole chant. Most of them would invoke the magic just by shouting the name of the spell, such as the case in Fire Lance.

But then, chanting also had the effect of increasing the power of the spell. Since Im already fixed at Level 1, I should memorize the chants of the lowest level spells for all the attributes by heart, so that I could up my spells, even if just for a bit.

Well, I guess theres no need to do that, thanks to the trait of Sages that allows me to instantly recall the entire chant just by thinking of casting magic

But yeah, I should focus on Tinas spell for now.

I know this chant.

This was the strongest spell under lightning magic the ultimate chant.

Bestow upon me

According to thine oath

Thou, my servant

Lend me thy strength,

This magic is invoked by imagining a spirit of thunder receiving the mana of the mage and dropping an extremely humongous thunderbolt onto the ground.

Release thy power henceforth.

The skies that had been clear just a few moments ago were now covered in foreboding dark clouds.

Her preparation for invoking magic was now complete.

Ultimate Thunder!!

A lightning bolt more than 10 meters wide fell from the heavens.

It struck the target, obliterating it in a flash

!?

A large portion of the training hall had been destroyed.

The debris from the floor flew at me, but they were blocked by the translucent dome of magic surrounding and protecting me.

It was the magical barrier that Tina activated for me.

If I didnt have this, I had already been blasted away by the waves of impact.

The fine dust that swirled around finally settled down.

O, Ohhh!

The training halls floor was supposedly built to be extremely sturdy, but a crater with a three meter diameter had been gouged out.

So how was it, Halt-sama? Was I cool enough?

Tina asked with a smile.

Yesterday, she had been in a fluster because she apparently misjudged her strength, but now, theres no trace of hesitation in her actions today. It seemed like she had already intended to release this much power right from the beginning.

Y-Youre amazing, Tina!! Youre super cool!!

Ehehehe.

She seemed happy, and I was brimming with excitement as I looked at her.

This world is amazing.

A single person can be capable of invoking magic with such great destructive power.

Because of Evil Gods curse, I can only use low level spells that consume 10 points of mana max.

However, its precisely because of Evil Gods curse that I have unlimited mana at my disposal.

If I tweak here and there, I can probably become stronger, even if not as strong as Tina.

Im looking forward to this.

Evil Gods curse granted me my wish.

Well then, Halt-sama, let us practice Lightning Magic, shall we?

Yes! Im in your care, Teacher Tina!!
