Scanning Magic (Part 1)

"Seven days have passed since Cleria's foot fully recovered."

"His arm was also nearly healed, and all that was left to regenerate was his fingertips. It should be fully restored tomorrow."

"After discussing with him, the two of us finally decided to leave this makeshift headquarters tomorrow."

"Yep, my language skills have improved to the point where I can speak to Cleria normally. There are still a few words that I am not familiar with, but I have no problem with the vocabulary that is often used in everyday conversation. Cleria even said my pronunciation was perfect."

"free star

I want to gather more data by talking to people other than Cleria, but that should wait for now."

"I asked him about the reason why he was being chased when I could speak normally."

"After pausing to think, Cleria asked me to give her some more time before she told me the reason and assured me that she would divulge it when she was well and ready."

"It looks like things are really complicated. I've lived with Cleria for quite a while now and I really think she's not someone who would make a mistake. He's not a criminal, that's for sure. So I don't mind if he doesn't want to talk about the circumstances."

"As for the number of his pursuers, he told me that they were definitely not only few but their number would not exceed one hundred. But there was also the possibility that they would not be able to catch up."

"It's a little hazy. So it was alright to expect their number to be around fifty strong people? I thought I would be able to deal with that number of targets with my rifle somehow, but those kind of numbers still require great caution. And I'm still not sure if it would be okay to take pictures first and ask questions later if and when we manage to meet them. I still consider it up to now."

"It's also been seven days since I started learning magic, but my research hasn't progressed at all. Well, not exactly. It's developing in some areas, but I haven't really developed any new applications of fire spells and the like. This is because of something I asked Nanom to prioritize to develop."

"I want to produce so-called multi-sensor – standard equipment Galactic Army Corps. As the name implies, it is able to detect anything within the scanning range of – terrains, the internal layout of the building, the presence or absence of living life forms and the like. Even if you're not wearing active camouflage, you won't be surprised if you have a multi-sensor handy."

"When I first came to this planet, the first thing I wanted was to be multi-sensor."

"To be honest I was amazed at the vast application of magic on the planet and asked Nanom if he could develop a magical version of the multi-sensor."

"Therefore, there is no point in casting magic with aimless magic experiments. However, as a result, I was able to learn more about magic."

"Every living thing on the planet is capable of harboring magic within their bodies; whether it be something as big as a Big Pig or as small as a small insect. Even plants have wonders in them. This was a rather surprising discovery, but the amount of magic present in most creatures was not enough to make a simple fireball spell."

"Living things attract magic, and magic gradually builds up in them. However, the amount of magic would not continue to increase indefinitely. After a certain amount has accumulated inside the creature's body, the flow of magic enters a standstill and the excess magic is ejected back outside. I don't know the exact cause of this phenomenon."

"It seems that the amount of magic that an organism can contain is very different from one species to another. In other words, creatures of the same species can contain the exact same amount of magic in them. For example, Cleria and I have the same amount of magic within each of us."

"The reason for the difference between the number of fireballs I and Cleria that could be thrown came from the efficiency of the use of magic. According to Cleria, if one was able to increase their magic consumption rate, the number of times they could use spells would increase. I only rely on Nanom for these kinds of things so maybe I won't be able to improve this aspect anymore."

"Nanom and I prioritize this kind of data collection every day because it will allow us to determine what kind of life forms exist in an area remotely by determining the amount of magic contained in it and create a suitable database."

"We also discovered that magic has properties similar to normal particles and energy waves to some extent. They are similar to particles, but also have properties such as reflection, interference, and diffraction."

"After discovering this fact, we were able to determine that it is possible to release raw magic outside the body instead of a spell."

"Magic can be released outside the body in the form of waves. There is no visible effect if you just release a small concentration of outgoing waves, but if you increase the output, the magic waves will be reflected back every time they hit another concentration of magic mass."

"Utilizing these characteristics, we were able to develop functions like radar using magic. The detection range depends on the intensity of the magic output. If a strong wave is released, various information can be obtained."

"Unexpectedly, Cleria was able to notice it when I released a magic pulse as part of my ongoing experiment. When Nanom directed me to release a wave of high output, she came and told me that she felt I was emitting magic power and asked what I was doing."

"Ts: this code→ (`...`) sign to indicate a low voice bubble or say words unconsciously."

"It seems Cleria was told that her talent for detecting magic power was several times greater than most people, according to an experienced magician she knew."

(After knowing this, I immediately asked Cleria for help with my experiments. It seems like every time I use this un` scanning magic form, there is a danger of the other party being aware of my existence and position. I want to be able to obtain information unilaterally if possible.) 

"We later discovered that Cleria's ability to sense magic power was not only affected by the power of the waves released but also the total distance from the emission point. I kind of expected results like this."

"If that was the case, would it be better if I increased the range and intensity of the magic waves released gradually rather than emitting something with a high output at once? I managed to come to such a conclusion."

"For example, I will first release a magic pulse that is weak enough that Cleria is unaware of it from fifty meters away. If I don't find anything to pay attention to, I will proceed to expand the range to seventy-five meters, one hundred meters and so on."

"By using this method, I will minimize the risk of being noticed by the other party."

"If this method is ineffective, then I just need to fix it step by step."

(The nice thing about this un` scanning magic is that I can hand over the activation completely to Nanom. This is probably because I don't need to focus on the concrete picture for that.) 

"Ts: this code→ (`...`) sign to indicate a low voice bubble or say words unconsciously."

"After being called, Nanom will automatically display the search results on the virtual display. It's roughly the same display method as multi-sensor, so it's pretty intuitive."

"The amount of magic used when using scanning magic is roughly equal to one fireball per hundred magic pulses. It's very cost-effective. Should have proved quite useful from now on."

"In the end, we couldn't quite recreate the multi-sensor function, but the results were quite satisfactory."

"When I declared the completion of my scanning magic method to Cleria who was cooperating in its development, she first responded by looking at me with a wooden gaze again. But he finally regained consciousness from his stupor and immediately asked me to teach him the method."

"But there you have it, it is rather impossible for others to use this method without the help of sensors capable of accurately detecting magic and Nanom's information processing capabilities. I somehow avoided this problem by telling Cleria that she should further increase her magic control. And then that conversation somehow turned to her tagging with me on today's hunt. Why ya?"

"Since we have spent a lot of time doing magic experiments, it is almost noon when we are done. I decided to go hunting after lunch. Today's dishes include grilled fish and Big Boar fried meat – classic but delicious menu options."

(“I think it's time to hunt.”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“Yes! Let's leave Alan.” soon) 

"Cleria seems pretty excited to go hunting."

"At first, Cleria was still a bit embarrassed whenever she called me by name, but she seemed to gradually become used to it. I think he looks more relaxed about it compared to before."
