As a result, it was a duel where he attacked Senior Leonard but it did not work. Still, I thought that at least one attack would be successful, but I never thought that the difference in level would be this big. Senior Leonard's magic was a defense-oriented magic, and if it couldn't break through that defense, the attack wouldn't work.
Looking at my senior, who burned more fiercely no matter how much I attacked the fire with ice, the title Goliath of Flame was not that strange. Of all the titles I've heard so far, I think it was the magic that best suited the title. Celestia's Flame Princess was a title that suited her well enough, but it wasn't a case where the title was given through magic.
I slowly exhaled and bowed my head towards my senior. He put his cane away and bowed his head towards me.
"I hope this duel helps."
"It helped me a lot. I thought the basis of a duel was to dominate the opponent, but the opposite is also possible."
"But this kind of magic will break down if put into practice. Which wizard would attack an opponent with flames surrounding them? Anyone would run away or try to use the surroundings to stop the flames. That's why my magic is good for practical use. It's a dangerous magic, and it may shine if it blocks someone or is in a place where natural elements are limited, but how practical is that? It's almost impossible."
I nodded slowly at my senior's words. The senior was known to have defeated a dragon. Before that, I wondered how humans could defeat dragons, but the moment I saw my senior's magic, I thought it might be possible.
"I listened to your request, so now it's your turn to listen to my request, please."
"What is most important is Mr. Lai's choice."
"Among wizards, there are not as many people as you might think who refuse a duel challenged to them. Wizards are such a strange race that they don't know how precious their lives are."
"When I think about it like that, I think I've been doing some really strange things."
"Well, I'm a first year at the academy. You might be different now. If someone asked you to compete, would you run away?"
"… … Probably not."
"Proof that you too are becoming a wizard."
And I smiled slightly at Senior Leonard.
"Thank you for your teachings."
"If you really want to become stronger, observing the magic of other 5th graders will be of great help. However, I don't know if 5th graders will ever have a chance to join this academy again. 5th graders are also magicians, so if you ask for guidance, There will be no one who will refuse."
"I will remember."
"Then, let's go. It won't be long before it's lecture time, so it's hard to hold on for too long."
After bowing to my senior, I walked into the classroom.
The 5th grade magic was very helpful, but I didn't have the will to put it into practice. If it were Erica-senpai's magic, I could at least copy it in a similar way, but magic like Leonard-senpai… … I thought it wouldn't be easy. It is easy to surround the body with mana, but to give properties to that mana and surround the body with it. Even if I used ice magic, if I did not handle it properly, my body would freeze.
Senior Leonard swallowed his saliva again at the thought of being able to control the mountain-like flames.
When I entered the classroom, the students were already seated, and I sat in my usual seat.
"I didn't see you at the restaurant this morning. Where did you go?"
"I have someone to meet briefly, so I'm on my way here."
"Again, you say that. Do you feel like you're keeping a secret from me?"
"There is nothing important to tell you."
"Should there be secrets between friends?"
"Since we are friends, there are even more secrets."
Celestria turned her head as if she didn't like the answer, and I scratched my cheek at the sight of her. Even if I told you, it wouldn't change anything. Wouldn't it be strange to say that I met senior Leonard and that I asked him to show me magic?
As I was thinking that, the professor entered the classroom and the lecture began. Since I was learning basic magic that I was familiar with, I started to focus on the coordinate magic that I had just started learning.
Senior Erica said something like that. Coordinate magic is said to be a magic that makes you remember. So, the important thing is not to specify the coordinates for the place I want, but to quickly create coordinates. I started to understand to some extent what they said.
Creating coordinates wasn't as difficult as I thought, but quickly specifying the location seemed to require quite a bit of practice. Take the coordinates to the place you are looking at and add magic to it… … I understood it in my head, but I thought I would have to try it several times to use it in practice, so I thought I should practice the magic tomorrow evening since I don't have to go to work tomorrow.
"It seems like the days are getting hotter."
Sharon spoke and started eating lunch, and I nodded at her words.
"Because summer is coming."
"Even though the academy's uniforms are made with magic, it's okay, it won't be easy in the summer, and I've heard that Ignolia is hot to begin with."
"The weather is cooler in Photon than you think, right?"
"It's in the northwest of Jingara, so it's colder than Araelia and colder than Ignolia."
"It's cold in the north of Araelia, because every day is winter. There is nothing I can do about it since it is a place touched by the breath of Goddess Sglaka."
"When vacation comes, I'm not sure whether to return to Photon or stay in Ignolia. Although Photon is better than Ignolia, I don't think I'll practice magic if I stay in Photon."
"Is Astan going to his hometown?"
"I'm thinking about going, but I don't know. Even if I go to my hometown, I will end up doing farming, so I worry about whether I will stay in Ignolia."
"What about photons? I can let you stay at my family's mansion during vacation."
"Well, that goes for Araelia as well."
"Wouldn't it be better to live in a noble family's mansion than living in a country's royal palace?"
"We can treat you several times greater than the treatment you get at a noble family's mansion, but isn't that too hasty in your judgment?"
"Wouldn't it be better than staying locked up in the palace?"
The two smiled as they spoke to each other, and I slowly put the mashed potatoes in my mouth, chewed them, and opened my mouth.
"I will take care of it."
"Well, in the end, it's Astan's choice. Go home, come to Araelia, go to Photon."
"That's right, Astan will choose it."
"Still, I would like to visit Photon if possible, since I have already been to Araelia."
"The capital of Photon is not inferior to Araelia."
"Doing that in front of me, the princess, sounds like a fight."
"I'm kidding, the capital of Photon isn't a very luxurious place. It's located next to a mountain, so there's nothing there. At least there is a temple dedicated to Rune, the god of war… … Compared to Araelia, it is an insignificant place."
"That's not what I wanted to say."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and I nodded slowly.
"There's still some time left until vacation, so I'll have to think about it a little."
"I thought so and then it suddenly came to me."
"I have to finish the exam first."
"I'm looking forward to the test, but I'm curious about what kind of assignments will come up, right?"
"I have more worries than expectations. Ceresria Are you going back to Araelia during vacation?"
"I have the status of a princess, and if I don't go back, that's also a problem. I guess I'll come to Ignolia with only my face shown. It's better to be able to move around as I want in Ignolia than to be suffocated in the palace."
"Do you want to go to Photon together?"
"I think I heard something strange about calling the princess of Araelia to Photon."
"Well, I'm not coming here to fight. I'm not going to the capital of Photon, I'm just going for a vacation, so there's no need to think that much."
"Sometimes, Sharon says something really strange."
I also nodded at Celestria's words. He often said strange things. Naturally, he didn't look like a nobleman, and he wasn't a commoner either. He was thinking about Photon, but he wasn't that interested in Photon, and he was truly a protagonist.
Since Sharon was the main character, it was natural that she had an open mind and did not live a life stuck in a rut. Maybe that's why it's strange, popular, and people flock around it.
"That doesn't mean Photon doesn't have a good relationship with Araelia, though it might be a bit like that if she came as a princess."
"I'll think about it, because I'm someone who hasn't been outside of Araelia much."
"The best thing is for Astan and Ceresria to come to Photon together."
"I'll think about it too."
It wasn't that I didn't like spending time with them, but I wanted to go on a trip during vacation. Since I came to this world and still haven't seen the sea, I thought I'd like to see it once.
