Glory to Earth Magic Chapter 3

Glory to earth magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

1 month has passed since I was being taught magic.

Thanks to that, I was able to firmly remember how to control magic.“Full-fledged magic is taught in elementary school so I’m teaching you the rudimentary. In the first place, what do you know about magic?”Magic ….. in games its use mp to shoot magic.
Chant to activate a spell. Make a contract with a nature spirit is shown in manga with a variety of situations.I say the answer summarizing my own knowledge.

“Uh, borrow the power of nature and unleash it?”

“Simply put, that’s right. However, the power comes from the four goddesses and the chief god. Spells so to speak with, it is like a contract with God. It’s like if you want to cast fire magic with help from the flame goddess Agni. You can say a spell to God with something like 〈〈I want to borrow your power!〉〉 which is asking for permission”

Armando is trying as hard as he can to clearly explain it to a 5-year-old child.

“There is also the possibility to cast magic without a spell or technology called no chant, that is the people who are the most liked by the goddess could easily achieve it ….. this can’t be done with acquired attributes, only inherent attributes. Not a lot of people can master the no chant, but they have to use advanced technology to do it.”

Well, the point is ever without cheating permission one by one with contribution to goddess we will be able to use magic.

I’m a bit anxious that other attributes might be originally good compared to earth without getting acquired attributes, but I had already decided to raise the earth attribute.

“Imagination is the key when using magic. You could use the image of ice to use ice magic and the image of flames to use flame magic…… This depends on the imagination of the individual so definite advice isn’t possible. It completely becomes the qualities of the person. An extreme example of this is when you use the image of ice to unleash flame magic it won’t activate.”

Oh, so simply it’s that.

Though I understand the image of fire and water ….. What is the image of earth?

Is it stiff, or is it ….. Sand?
This is strange, come on thinking.

“By the way, spells are necessary because when using advanced attack magic and recovery magic, it’s made from nothing. Such that fire is a concentration of magic power, it is possible to cast if with no chant once you get used to it with practice, but it’s not used in daily life as it’s much less effective than magic using a spell.”

I see ….. if it’s classified with earth, then there is a degree of things you can manipulate once you get used to things.

In a broad sense, it’s that there are many places where earth is.

The reason it’s unpopular is probably because there has not been much research put into is and it’s absolutely plain look.

“Since Alba-sama has the earth attribute, it’s unfortunate but I can’t teach finely. I think that in the first place, the magic school in Imperial city has very few people who use the earth attribute so it may be hard to learn.”

Well, I don’t know a person who would master an unpopular attribute.
It would be better to apply for an acquired attribute which is more desirable.

That day, I learned about light magic and the class ended.

The reason seems so I don’t stick to a strange habit before I enter school because I’m still a 5-year-old.
It’s to say that I should learn magic control so there are no accidents when I start earnestly study magic.

Oh, I forgot to say this but in this world, magic has been developed more than science that there are appliances that run on magic power as a substitute to electricity.

There is also a clock application too, it’s calculated at 24 hours a day so that the kid’s of today can also check the time.
Even though magic and science were different, they eventually ended up in the same street.

After the end of class, I’ve been wondering if I could use any simple magic in the mansions garden.

It’s a dream to go into an advanced class with other attributes because earth is such an unfortunate attribute.
First of all, I need to understand the earth attribute.

Sitting on a bench, I grab a handful of soil I saw.

But I expected that it may allow a certain automatic defense with sand like a certain ninja in anime. (EN: Naruto reference spotted.)

While I was looking at the soil, I was praying to the goddess  to move the soil.

The imagination is also important because it’s bad to use vague instructions.

The image begins to move in a way that it’s swelling into a mountain, I start controlling my magic power to my right hand where the soil in on.
At first it did not react, after several times as my concentration grew sharper, it happened.

Because I had closed my eyes, it wasn’t clear but I certainly felt that the earth had slightly moved.

I suppressed that feeling before I went any further, I took a deep breath once and repeated the process from a little while ago while staring at the soil in my hands.

⌊Zuzuzu⌉, the soil begun to subtly gather into the center of my hand while forming into the delicate form of a mountain …..
The great fact that I had manipulated the soil was indescribable.

“I …… I ……”

I wanted to express my feelings, but the words wouldn’t come out of my mouth.

I was so happy that I challenged again and again afterwards.
The soil became active a number of times and became a proper mountain form on top of my hand, I seemed to understand it more to an extent.

After playing crazily with the soil I forgot the time until my consciousness was suddenly cut off.
