The Book Of Flowers

Preparation of Important Days

-- The next morning, the training area---

"Huh? You can do some bully magic?"

'Magic intruder'. It wasn't an official label to name a magic, but it was what everyone called this one specific magic

Is correct. Today's lesson is about bully magic. Personally, I will teach Verdea and Remina today

"Magic intruder. A magic that can be used to disrupt the Mana flow of the opponent before you. The terms of use are much easier to launch than magic in general, but this magic is very dependent on the quality of Mana belonging to a racer"

Verdea did not need to think any further to immediately frown upon hearing that. He understood that this magic would not be too useful for him to use

"But I've never heard the name of that magic. What's the new magic?" Remina asked

"No. They are categorized into protective magic"

Wh why? Answer's simple. This magic has a formula of protective magic.

"The significant difference lies in one thing, that this magic feels like a piece of paper you've torn from a book"

The picture is like that. In fact, it's true. Disturbing magic is a derivative of all protective magic, and is also referred to as their weak version. I prefer to call this magic the root of protective magic

"Every magic can be disturbed. That's the function of protective magic, which is to pull over and stop the attack that comes towards the ship. Unfortunately, the protective magic formula will always become more and more complex as time goes on, so I'd better teach you a fixed formula that can be used at some crucial moment in the fight"

I pointed to both. "Repair your basic magic, and defend it" I ordered

Verdea and Remina were confused while looking at each other. The two began to cast their own magic. Verdea with a fire magic 'Fireball', and Remina with water magic 'Water Ball'

I raised both my index fingers so that the two of them would pay close attention. The palm of my hand then faced the ground above the air, and slowly, I closed my palm with my finger

Simultaneously, both Verdea and Remina's magic disappeared as if something was eating them

"That's incredible...! My magic disappeared even though I was concentrating...!" Verdea was amazed to comment

"I sensed a foreign Mana shrouding my magic. Is that what you mean by protective magic, Oberon?" Remina asked

"That's right!" i retaliated. "Bothering magic is an unofficial designation for magic used to cloak the results of a person's Mana"

In short

"You just need to cloak someone's magic using your Mana" I explained

"That sounds impossible to do" Verdea immediately brushed aside

"That's why you can never magic" I pulled over

Verdea again pouted, as Remina looked at him with a petty face

"But, why couldn't we see your magic just now? Even with the light attribute, protective magic could be seen with the naked eye through some provisions. I don't understand the elements of this magic" Remina asked again

"That's because I don't use any attributes"

Remina was startled, while Verdea began to be drawn back to listen

"Not using that attribute doesn't mean that you don't use magic at all?" Verdea asked this time

Naturally, he was not wrong. But in theory, that's not impossible

I showed them a 'Fireball' as an example

"Where is that part of our body, do you remember that?"

They nodded

Mana is a part of our body, not far from blood and flesh. However, unlike the blood that flowed within the body to defend it, Mana flowed out into the air, as if carrying out an attack

More fittingly, we call Mana the equivalent of air. Constant circulation while breathing, the theory of both is the same in one. But, as I said before, Mana is a part of our body

"You can mess up the passing wind by waving your hand in the air and you can feel it. The same law applies to Mana"

The 'Fireball' in my right hand used my left hand, and the magic disappeared in an instant. "The difference is, you can control Mana as far as your eyes can see, because it's part of your body. It's like moving your hands and feet, isn't it?"

The movement that closed the palm to stop their magic earlier, that was one example. Like my own limbs, the Mana on top of their magic moved reflecting the movement of my hands. Their magic disappeared, as if I had squeezed both of them with my bare hands

"You can try rapping your magic again"

They do it immediately. But unlike before, I did a deflecting gesture that didn't even touch anything

And in an instant, their Mana disappeared, yet it did not dim down somehow like earlier. Their magic disappeared this time, as if there was a wind that brushed the two off from their left side

"That's amazing!" Verdea was amazed

But Remina immediately hesitated. It was easy, because all magic-showers knew, that controlling the Mana in the air was something that felt the same as trying to control a hand that was widened like rubber. His movements will be very sloppy and silly, where only people who are experts can do well

"It's impossible Oberon. It would take years to learn Mana control without a slap or magic circle. The best I can assure myself is that I have to learn it for 20 years" he said

"really? I learned it in 5 years. Luna was even adept at doing it within the same timeframe, as she could not control her magic anymore"

Although it did take many years, it was because at first I did not understand the basic concept of this magic

Huh...

"I may sound like I don't understand anything you feel, but listen carefully. Everything would be impossible if you thought so

Reassure yourself that you can do something. Although not everything, isn't something enough?"

That's what I learned over the years. My belief that I would not be able to find a friend of the human race changed when Verdea and Veskal came. My belief in improving the Elf's name has changed since I started trying. My belief that we would only lose changed when I saw the smiles of my people and all of you

...

"Bothering magic can also not only be done using Mana alone. You can hoard other people's magic with your magic"

"Attacks can sometimes be the best defense. The purpose of me wanting to learn this magic is so that you know, what kind of moves you should make in the fight against an enemy. Do an attack that can save you, or just survive. Always avoiding is not the answer, because it is more a waste of energy"

Escaping from a stronger enemy is also not an option if you are fighting alone. I saw how Remina lost yesterday against Edwin, and I decided that they should learn about this when their abilities were on par with others

"If I think again, Edwin's attack that defeated Remina yesterday could be called a bully magic as well. But, the theory of his ability would be very difficult to explain, and I just got some of his ideas"

Friction is the main factor of it. Edwin's attacks swiped at each other as they flew through the air, and it caused an excessive 'heat. I'm sure, that 'hot' is evaporative, so that the entire Mana Remina disappears in an instant

Unfortunately, I still don't understand how the Mana can swipe. Only physical objects are capable of doing so, and Mana is naturally not a physical thing until one executes a magic formula. What makes me say like this is, Edwin did not cast any magic at all when he had a duel with Remina before this

"Whatever it is, you should also know how to interfere with your opponent's attack. Learning their tricks and messing up an important moment will really help you later"

"What Vainzel said is true"

...

Ah, there's a new guest arriving

"You're late. I've been calling you since the sun hasn't risen, and look at the position now" I welcome him

"He must have been busy spending time with Natasha" Verdea added ketus

"The sleepyman finally woke up" Remina also followed

Veskal just smiled shaking his head resignedly hearing the babbling of us all

"Let me guess. I'm skipping training this time?" he also asked

"Not much is missed. Just a little learning strategy and a little magic" I explained as I fired a 'Water Ball' at him at base speed

Veskal easily brushed off the magic before his body was hit

"Magic again? Wouldn't it be better if Remina honed her sword skills?"

"It wouldn't be fair to Verdea. Besides, I've just taught them magic since I've been busy with work these few days"

"I also recommended him to teach us magic for today..." Verdea with an innocent look interrupted

"Then just choose your weapon other than magic. If you want a sword, then I'll go to Orion to buy you one"

He said so because Orion opened their teleportation path to us for a full 24 hours

"What do you think, Veri, Remina? You want a new sword?" I asked too

Remina might need a real sword instead of such an ornate sword. In fact, the sword he made using 'Imaginary Copy' was a sword for dueling practice, not for a fight

If Edwin really wanted to kill Remina while they were training, the mock sword would only split in two as the duel began

"A real sword...?" Remina asked

He was doubtful whether he would be a match for himself because the sword in his hand was already thought to be very close to him. However, understanding the shortcomings of the weapon, Remina nodded

Meanwhile, Verdea was completely doubtful she wanted to obtain a sword. Moreover, he had no reason to even possess a sword, as he himself was not proficient in his knowledge

And he also found a solution

"Find me a steel glove"

The solution was originally flying over my head. Till...

"Aah!"

--- I have a better idea

"I'll find Uncle Zero and go to Bargalos. They'll give you the weapons you want but 100 times better"

Verdea, you're a genius. Apparently that's the weapon that's been suitable for you all along. I didn't think about it because it was just a body protector. But with the design in my head

Yeah, yep! I can make him the best weapon to use!

"I'll leave it to you then" Verdea said

"Then I might also want the Dwarves in the city of Bargalos to make me a sword" Remina interjected

He asked me to come closer so he could whisper. In his whisper, he explained every detail he wanted from a sword

I nodded in understanding listening to every detail he gave, then nodded after he whispered. I stared at Veskal, giving him a sign that he was coming with me to Bargalos

He agreed in silence, only giving a smile

"Just get Edwin so Remina can practice. I'll prepare some food to settle in Bargalos later"

We'll stay there long enough. At the latest, we or Veskal himself may return the day before Remina's coronation begins

"You won't be disappointed, I promise you"

The two of us teleported out, leaving the two in silence from our absence again

...

"What kind of weapon do you want?" Verdea asked curiously

Remina just smiled a little, so Verdea knew that she would not answer

"Secret~!" Remina said as Verdea sighed

"At least, the preparations for the arrival of the day were nothing to worry about anymore"

He's got everything he needs to get. A science and a new weapon that he's going on
