Chapter 44: Limitless (1)
dlasThe students were stupefied.BWCVb
Y1uAwAZG-Get down to business?Rv9D4m
2nVThey were bewildered because the power Samuel had shown just now was enough to really showcase the power of Incantation magic.ccuiR
RW6Dr0Earth of furor.IZboQKK
bIJ6uSamuel recited the same poem again.tc13
nxEIHOne difference was that the speed at which he spoke became faster.Jl6uLbB
roOXvI borrow thy power so touch my hand. Looking down at the sky, the history of achievement, be captured in a moment.4nby
BBfIt was almost frightening how fast he sped up. His words were almost incomprehensible.0nyce1

ZqiOnMAnd finally, a sound that could not be considered as language broke and spread out.H6Ds2jn
X49Samuels face distorted terribly while the sound he was creating resembled that of a dolphins cry.GcdDoTK
vnXThe speed of the incantation seemingly reached its limit.UZADtrM
NtleIYqHe recited the phrases that took 2 minutes to complete in 4 seconds.7isTm
VtrAMWHe cast the magic while clutching his chest.O0XuZiz
Hb8GTDBOOOOM!6TB
2AazIuA huge whirlwind with a mixture of dirt and dust soared through the sky.zuxPJ7
JegAAAHH!axT6Rb4
rr7Qh9nThe loud shouts of children from the lower classes were heard, and a strong wind swept past their seats.HdZLu
KLpfnJBy the time the dust disappeared, Samuel had a peaceful expression with a soft smile on his face.wASDCM6
QmAEoPAfter the tinnitus disappeared from the ears of the students, Samuel explained calmly.avN
uQ81That, everyone, was the basis of Incantation magic. Its called Supersonic magic.piAlE
M5Z5QIt is an indispensable skill in battle. Of course, its not just about speaking fast. It may have been simply a noise to you, but I ruminated over and over the full meaning of the phrases. I think the power of the whirlwind that every one of you has seen serves as proof of that.twK
V3O0ryBAs they were still in a daze, nobody replied back, but everyone agreed with Samuels words.oXn
Vm4oLIt was the same for Shirone.QJIPD
jsNThe Power of IncantationM1Q
X2dmYEIThe last whirlwind that was 10 times more powerful than the first.ZdXSbxm
csMIs this the level of the Advanced Class?0pprN8
Ht6G9Not to mention, he was the teaching assistant that Ethella chose, so he must have been in the top ranks in the Advanced class.7rk4U34
a17q3xBut regardless, he was still a student.PVfB7e6
kloUMPThe thought that Amy was competing with such people made him nervous, but at the same time, something hot flared inside him.ZBnU
jezyI’ll definitely reach that position.PmX
Ow3hThe other students seem to have felt the same way because their eyes looked slightly different from before.goTRCx1
n28328This was the exact reason why Ethella called a teaching assistant.zraUeD
EEIGood work, Samuel. The students should have picked up a few things. Thank you for following through despite the difficult request.RJCYeu2
smFtJTzNot at all, Ms. Ethella. Just call me up anytime, Ill be happy to help.oNBCtL
pHICompared to the comfortable way the Intermediate class acted around Ethella, Samuel bowed his head politely.phs59
DcDEThat is the kind of world for mages.48k
MH3NShirone realized anew who he was taking lessons from.Kmau
a7j6YCOnce Samuel eventually graduated, he would be a non-certified Grade 10 mage. However, the instructor in front of him was a Grade 6 mage, and a state-certified one at that.8W026J
fmRiuipHow strong is she, our teacher?BYdFVxV
kDXYThe other students must have registered this fact as well, as even after Samuel left, they were filled with reverence.YssmHe
FofznVGOkay, everyone. Did you enjoy the demonstration of Incantation magic?5PRixj
VE0GYes!0Pm9Sy
FX7MHearing the louder-than-usual reply, Ethella nodded, satisfied.Ycoa
iejBUtaThe reason why I decided to show you Incantation magic is because its closely related to the strengthening of your Spirit Zone that you will learn about today. Now, do you think you can answer this question? What is the best way to strengthen your thoughts?JpjzVT
OsOcThe students responded unanimously.3pwdAJ
3UgsXsgThrough words!Z41afO
RrYAzoOCorrect. Because thoughts are made up of words. So in other words, what does this mean?5SKGMXt
jIwR5Class 4 was the one who answered.MnsKeF
yZ9tkMYou can materialize your thoughts.UYIbes
GSyhqYes, exactly that. Whatever you think, you can see it with your own eyes. Now, close your eyes and try. See if you can see your thoughts.OIfPcz
tM1The students who actually tried realized what it felt like to see their thoughts.zTpt
eDdV1jIf you can see it with your eyes, it means its real. Thats the main point of Incantation. Incantation mages materialize the words they speak.wEIj
tpSDGSfEthella raised her index finger and explained.fvB212
Xg4fk5LThe basic system of Incantation magic is simple. Speak and ruminate. Speak and ruminate. They continue to amplify the meaning of the words this way and strengthen the magic.XHHn7
Do8XA student from Class 7 asked.9aZwDeG
Y1KBn6gMs. Ethella, then can we learn Incantation, too?IbDhU8
GxGkreSEthella smiled.8Qs9I
NEqkWould you like to?AfzD7D
7NNOYes. That older brother just now was really cool.SPX
aIsRight. Choosing a major is important. But unfortunately, since Incantation magic is a major, it will not be covered in Intermediate class.hw3Fs
AATwtvThen how do we strengthen our Spirit Zone? Werent we gonna do it through Incantation?kJxElln
ExJNL2vAnd that is what I will explain starting now. Incantation is used to increase the power of certain magic. There are countless kinds of magic in the world, and there are also different languages to express that magic. However, the Spirit Zone purely operates through mentality, so theres no need for you to learn linguistic or supersonic techniques.iXaQ46
deN3Q5Ethella paused for a moment and entered the Image Zone.TZF1f
Aa4In order to strengthen your Spirit Zone, a unique concentration method called the Sequence method is required. Raise your hand if you have ever counted from 1 to 100 either in your head or through your mouth.1Fg1bt
NdTolMost of the students raised their hands.xAe
9wJKvGood. How about 1 through 1,000?xkQsC
jQG* * *Zd9BQf7
DVXg* * *0I8
EKVcThose who lowered their hands looked around.hJCBZF7
v5gRnWAll of the Class 4 students raised their hands, but only a few from the lower-level classes were seen.S5no
NmO9ZThe Sequence method is literally a technique that expands numbers. Contrary to language, numbers are symbols in the state of axiom. So it meshes well with the Spirit Zone.Z89
Z3AbfSo youre saying that counting increases concentration?S5NVX
eCz2hThat is correct. Of course, you cant simply count numbers. That wont do anything. Essentially, its the same as Incantation. Speak and ruminate. However, In the case of the Sequence method, you have to think and ruminate. The Sequence method will not work unless you focus on each and every number individually.GeE3pxR
ztlDoExcept for the fact that language was replaced with numbers, it had a similar mechanism to Incantation magic.pWJxuh
7dfp0So thats why we were shown a demonstration first.h3Bg9
ezPaV2Ethellas explanation continued.l1t8tNo
CHWThe faster the number expands, the stronger the Spirit Zone becomes. In other words, all parts such as the probability of a magic being activated and its precision are increased. However, you do have to keep a few things in mind. The Sequence method is not omnipotent. The Spirit Zone can only really be enhanced through rigorous mental discipline. So in the future, dont rely too much on technical enhancements. That being said, I will now demonstrate the Sequence method myself.cMLO
7mQRvF3After the explanation, Ethella spread out her Spirit Zone but limited it to a diameter of about 10 meters for her demonstration.4YpGXM
1vqxI will now perform the Sequence method. I will strengthen the currently visible Spirit Zone with only the Sequence method. Since this is not an Incantation, I will tell you the expansion of numbers in units and multiples of 10. Lets begin. One.euRyJ
En0EIAs soon as Ethella spoke the number, the Spirit Zone visibly grew.i9j
GE3uwGL100.fehdn
ib14Z100? Did she just say 100?kWBF
zbslca5Like Incantation, one needed to accurately perceive and recognize each number in order for the Sequence method to be effective.3c5B
jDEGVEven so, counting to 100 in one second meant that the speed of her number expansion was insanely high.ZmKfKb
DkLf3CY400.DbXcK8
KVIBThe students eyes grew to the size of saucers.oJM
OGNRoSuddenly, Ethella started to accelerate for it took her less and less time to pass an interval.V8c
rZU1,000. 1,700. 2,400.YKccMx
ZSkcDaaShirone was absolutely stupefied.xZz
I9PTNo way.gF3y
CHppKSHow could a human being count that fast?sMvoOno
OPqrBF2It did not even pass 10 seconds, but Ethella technically added 1+1 2,400 times while also ruminating on it.U0h
rzKAs a result, the size of her Spirit Zone swelled into a sphere with a diameter of 30 meters.Wv3
VkrpGMLIt was only strengthened using the Sequence method.EYN
rtNWhen the sequence reached 10,000, the Spirit Zone gradually got smaller in size.4K9
B9gsvhlHuuuHNkh
8tlHer concentration which allowed her to count to 10,000 in one breath proved that she was worthy of her position as the youngest bishop of the Karsis Order.CxC
3Ak7Shes really amazing. How much do you have to train your mind to reach that level?h1B8QF
8qN0nVtThe students were shocked. Even Ethellas appearance seemed dim when compared to her abilities.8FYk
6upCJ1JDid you see? Depending on how quickly you perform the Sequence, the range of its enhancement increases. Since it is only a technique, if the Spirit Zone itself is insufficiently practiced, the method will also be inefficient. However, I think everyone here can use it effectively depending on the situation.h4uOCl
z0X5Shirone shouted Eureka.QBM
1knE3Thats it!RXI
kIm4OShirone found the easiest way for him to use active magic despite his convergent and defensive tendencies.jEZrQ
CSJTwTo strengthen the Spirit Zone using the Sequence method.Ryb
8WNEthella gave advice.ClUzt
mGyV5feThe basis of the Sequence method puts 1 to 1,000 as the standard. Until you get used to it, focus on shortening your reach to 1,000.k9U
yAGGziAfter the class was over, the students scattered and started immersing themselves in the Sequence technique.U5RscL
VEOAfter expanding the Sequence from 1 to 1,000, Shirone immediately checked his measured time.6GVOrn8
dDdNE7ATook me 48 seconds.W7JWP
wrQL0G7It was an okay result considering it was his first try.6qFuJ6A
wengIcMost of all, the best part was that he finished counting up to 1,000 without stopping once.ICd
UBRECIn fact, it was normal for first-timers to lose concentration halfway through.3G7
mxMAqI have no problem with counting itself. Shall I expand the Sequence further? No, teacher told us to focus on shortening the time it takes us to reach 1,000.cfOMjZ
eHgJudging from Ethellas personality, she mustve determined that her previous demonstration was enough for her current class.r2Jz
E6YThe 10,000 mark was just a model. An example. That must mean theres a much higher level than that. Is it really possible through just counting numbers? If there is an actual special wayqjb
KvWlAt that moment, a possibility came to Shirones mind.EDO4Fj
TSvOZThe time fragmentation effect that he experienced while crossing the Bridge That Could Not Be Crossed.wvanpel
iF5HHAInsight. Just as you can count the number of leaves, you can count numbers, but also feel them at the same time. I can group individual numbers into units and process them at once.mosMC
Ni0t5Shirone did not know this, but what he thought of at that moment was the Concept of Modularity, which was the basic principle of Information magic.cgSd
mGmShirone immediately started putting it into practice.fEM5
crtSzSet the module unit to 10, and process the 10 pieces of information contained in that number in an integrated wayF3PujrP
vzWi10. 20. 30rZNwmtd
3SlUAs he moved forward, savoring the gaps between the numbers using insight, he began to gain momentum.R2Cl
uq1Ja1,000!GFk
uaOCrXpShirone had arrived at 1,000 much faster speed than before.S5T
5YpiShirone switched his Spirit Zone into Attack Form.YKydDR4
51IPhoton Output!ItpGM
a7tAA strong feeling of something leaving was felt, and a ray of light shot straight towards the forest and stretched far.oCSFrRx
Xp9Whoa! What is that?!UWt
MhKjDaStrictly speaking, he shot a sphere of light, but in peoples eyes, it looked like a ray of light.MtrbvyC
9qWShirone clenched his fist.TYQV4w
CwQ1YYes! I did it!uhW
HTtuHis classmates talked about it amongst themselves.odolQC6
9xUJmQBIt’s a Photon Output. Is he preparing for the targeting exam?Gvf4J
UL0v0But why go out of his way to learn that? Isnt it a particularly useless magic? Though maybe hes learning it to set foundations for Information magic?vPg0K
IxVMGIt doesnt matter because the target in the Image Zone activates upon any kind of magic. It is also said that it can be removed by recovery magic. Besides, it may be advantageous for the exam. Thats honestly super fast, isnt it?xAcD
xXpbFLThe students nodded.EILlY4N
POBXkJIt was safe to say it had no power, but it was ideal for hitting fast-moving targets.54ep2e
