Rebuilding Civilization

Controller 1 (Part 2)

"Whoah, there are some unwanted companies. Nanom managed to catch the magic reaction."

(“Ria, no Grey Hound. Only one. 500 meters in that direction.”) 

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

"Suckers are at 11 o'clock. It's right in front."

(“Please let me handle it.”) 

"Well, he was asked, so he'll accept. I'll hand it to him then."

(“Good. But it's still not certain that it's going our way. ”) 

"Seeing from his movements, it seems like the Grey Hound has not noticed us yet, but the carriage is moving towards him, so maybe he will soon realize us. The movements of the Grey Hound finally showed some changes when the carriage reached a distance of 200 meters from him. That must be heading straight for us. Well, the train was noisy, so it was probably inevitable."

(“Beck, stop the train!”) 

"The train immediately stopped moving and Cleria jumped forward."

(“What's wrong!?” Beck asked.) 

(“Dog Grey. Just one. Ria will handle it,” I announce.) 

"Cleria unsheathed her sword and held it with both hands in front of her chest."

"Grey Hound appeared about fifty meters away from the carriage. It did not alert us in the slightest and continued to attack us. I raised the rifle a little, just in case."

(“Fireland!”) 

"A single large fire arrow appeared before Cleria and headed straight for the Grey Hound. The fire arrow hit the Grey Hound right in the chest when it managed to come within ten meters of the Cleria position. Whoa! That's some fast casting! It only took him about fifteen seconds to cast the spell. And Cleria had also opened her eyes all this time. He really managed to improve a lot."

"Beck and Thor make a fuss. Cleria would usually jump around in celebration, but she had a calm and composed expression today. It seems like she was quite prominent due to the presence of Beck and Thor, but I did not miss the faint arch that adorned her lips. Well, he was considered a very skilled knight by the villagers, so I kind of understand how he feels."

"He did not forget to take the magic stone from his corpse. He made his sword glow and split the Grey Hound in half, recovering the magic stone afterwards. Beck and Thor make a fuss about it once again. We threw the remains of the Grey Hound down the cliff."

(“It takes care of that. Shall we leave? ”) 

(“Excellent, Alan-san! Was Ria-sama always like this?”) 

"Let's give a little more props for Cleria today."

(“Ya. He's always been like this. Shall we go? ”) 

(“Ya!”) 

"The train starts again. The two in front were still drowning in excitement and talking excitedly to each other."

(“How am I, Alan?”) 

"It seems Cleria couldn't contain her own excitement and ended up asking about her previous appearance."

(“Tadi was very pleasant. The time you take to solidify your image is quite short. And even more impressive is that your eyes stay open during casting.”) 

(“Hah? My eyes open?”) 

"It seems he didn't realize it at the time."

(“Yes, they. Your next goal is to shorten the casting time even further. Ten seconds at most. Next is not to use your hands to aim and cast without a spell. If you can do all this, you will have enough breathing room to prepare for your Spell before the battle begins, and you will be able to defeat your opponents more easily. Your combat ability will increase by leaps and bounds.”) 

"Cleria seems to agree with my point. I wonder why he didn't cast a spell like this before."

(“How do you learn magic, Ria?”) 

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

(“You first have to read and memorize magic books before you can learn magic properly. You must perform as indicated by the steps in the magic book one by one in order to cast magic spells successfully.”) 

(“Tome magical huh? Sounds a bit incredible.”) 

(“Ya. For example, Fireball has seventeen steps. Flame Arrow has fifty.”) 

(“So, does that mean you reproduced seventeen processes in your head in those ten seconds before chanting the Fireball spell?”) 

"That's pretty amazing. It was beyond what geniuses could normally do. No wonder he had to close his eyes before. I'm not used to the exact process, but basically he finishes an average of two every second."

(“I've never even heard of a method of using images like Alan.” does) 

"Hm. Well, I guess if you don't know the process of gathering magic to form spells, you'll have a relatively harder time casting magic. I remember that I learned the exact method from an NPC teacher over the past few days in the game. I've understood. So I guess those steps will allow one to build an effective mental image."

(“Does using magic books to learn magic is the norm?”) 

(“Of course! I can guarantee that every magician in this world learns to cast spells through reading magic books.. except Alan, that's.”) 

"She seemed to be very sure of his words huh. I've understood. So it is possible that the people who produced these magic books must have written them in such a way that it allows one to form a mental image through the use of a step-by-step process. And as a result, it made sense to study magic by mimicking the steps written in those magic books. Mm. That's definitely possible."

"But Zack said last night that there were some villagers who could actually use magic. Do those people read thick books too?"

(“Actually, Zack said that the village had about two or three people who could use magic in the village last night.”) 

(“Oh, they may be the ones who can use incomplete spell casting forms for not having the opportunity to read tome. Magic books are expensive, so ordinary citizens who can use magic number quite a bit.”) 

"I understand. It is possible to cast magic if you have a good imagination. But without a tome to provide definitive steps to process the image, casting may prove difficult for beginners."

(“Nah, now you have experienced it too Cleria. What really matters when casting magic is forming concrete and clear images. You have to be faster, more detailed and precise when imagining how you want the spell out and how much magic power you want to use during casting the spell. Imaging power, arguably.”) 

(“Imaging power ..”) 

"Cleria was once again lost in thought. I was free once again, so I just dropped myself in the trunk pile. That's good weather. It would be great if it didn't rain. Oops, that's close. I was just about to fall asleep."

"I looked at the digital clock on my virtual HUD and found that we had been traveling for almost an hour. Nanom was still on guard, so I was sure it would wake me up if there was some sort of trouble along the way, but I would fail as a companion if that happened. Let's be more careful from now on."

"Cleria sat quietly while closing her eyes. He was meditating ... He's not just sleeping, is he?"

"At that time, the scan managed to pick up another reaction. It was a weak reaction that was almost non-existent in scanning detection capabilities and was right in front of the carriage again. It's 400 meters. It doesn't look like anything dangerous."

"When we were within a hundred meters, I finally managed to see what it was. It looks like a rabbit. It had a short tail that looked hairy. He hides in the bushes near the roadside, but his tail sticks out like a sore thumb."

"These creatures have an uncanny ability to sense and avoid danger. There were many instances where I had to detect them using scanning magic, only for them to escape before I could get closer. If we manage to catch this guy, guess we'll eat rabbit meat for dinner."

(“Ria, there are rabbits in front.”) 

"The eyes of Cleria open. Is he really asleep?"

(“Where is it? I'll drop it!”) 

"I thought he'd say that."

(“It was hiding inside the bushes.”) 

(“I can't see it.”) 

(“Hm. It seems you can't see it from here. How about this? I'll throw a rock at him and you drop him as soon as he comes out of the bushes.”) 

"I took out a few stones that I had ordered inside my backpack."

(“I'll try.”) 

"I raised my throwing arm and prepared myself. The rabbit has not fled. I'm sure it's just waiting for us to get through. I'll move after we get as close as possible. 30 meters more.. 20 meters.. 10 meters. Now!"

"I threw a rock right next to the bush where the rabbit was hiding. It panicked and jumped out of the bushes, straight into the street."

(“Fireland!”) 

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

"She seemed to be passing her time a little. The spell would only manage to graze the creature at this rate. Well, that's what I thought at first, but the fire arrow turned the projectile in mid-flight and pierced through the rabbit's neck!"
