Shinde Hajimaru Chapter 7

Finally, she took the first step on her way becoming the greatest magician!


Attribute arts


A month has passed Elise's surprise attack. Under mother's guidance, I used magic power without reservation on Spirit magic: mind resistant and the new Enchant: Endurance appeared when Status spell indicated that my Enchant spell reached level 2. As a result, I was training magic even when sleeping.


By the way, skill level indicates the efficiency of that skill. By “appeared”, that means becoming able to comprehend after getting accustomed to the skill. It's not like new spells suddenly appear on their own in your head like in a game.

Among unique skills, spells that are usable also has efficiency level or so I think, but that's just my feeling...

Well, after all of that, my status has become like this...

Yes, I know it without being said, even I want to make a retort.

Still, if possible, I'd want someone to tell me this.

Well, that's expected.”

A little sudden, but I want to tell you a common knowledge about magic power.

The MP indicated by Status spell is abbreviation of mana point, and understood as magic power.

Mana point is the remaining magic power that you can use. While measurement of abilities has a limit of 1000, a value of 1000 of magic power in ability section doesn't mean one's MP is 1000, why is that?

To people who possess 'Ultra magic power' such as me, we are able to utilize surrounding magic power, also the same case as people who can use magic power at a high efficiency rate, their MP is displayed differently.


To say it directly, magic power and MP value is not necessarily equal. Normally, the max MP value is usually tens times larger than magic power value.


Then, how does MP value raise up? While I myself am not sure about this, I was often said similar to people who uses a large amount of MP when they are young.


Me who has used too much MP since birth, and thus felt into a coma. And then the circle of consuming --> recovering repeated itself, as a result, my maximum MP value became abnormally high, not to mention Ultra magic power was also involved.


If so, with my Ultra magic power reached highest level, applying at my everyday magic power consumption when training and recovering, what would be the result of that?


The answer is, my MP value raises up at an even faster speed than before.


Making full use of ‘High speed magic power recovering', I barely used all of MP on Enchant, then slept to recover, and doing the same the next day. I used and recovered MP at a speed higher than any period I did before, the result of that was my max MP value raised by 70000 in just a month.

By the way, the period when MP raises the most for a normal person is from the age of 8 to 15. After that age, MP is pretty much unchanged.


Let's move back to our main topic.


My MP number now is at the top class in the country it seems, close to that of my mother.

Human is a race that has average ability. But among them, there exists people with ability surpass normal. But even when taking them as the normal, my MP amount is still larger. Even more strange when the person who possess that is just 4 years old.


Mother said this to me.

Magic power value is different from a spell's strength. If I'm serious, even a high class magical beast is not my opponent.”


Or so, but with me haven't learned anything about magical beast, I can't estimate mother's ability fully.


By the way, I'm making progress at Wind element arts, that is because I has permission from mother to train it with Elise.


My, discover new things about magic is really fun, you know?


Mother said that people in this world normally has their magic power become stable at the age of 8. It's at that time, they go to school to learn.


The learning time is 7 years in total, people learn the strength in order to survive... While mother hasn't taught me anything in detail, but given that I'm making progress, I think she will teach me some day.


And so, mother came up with this shocking training program for me before I enroll to school, it's like this:

1. Within this year (4 months left), complete all basic elements arts.

2. In next year, while raising efficiency of Enchant and raising my MP value, I will learn common knowledge.

3. Next year after that, training martial art and using weapons with Elise. Of course I will be using Enchant, I won't be able even moving without that.

4. In one year after that, along with martial arts training, making comprehension about intermediate level magic arts, that means understanding various aspects of spells.

5. Lastly! Review everything in 4 months before school start!.


Yeah... considering about a normal child at my age, this would make her cry...


And while I'm at topic about school.

The current school my big brother learning has a dorm it seems. My big sister is currently stay in her room to train her unique spells and magics.


Because of works, my father wouldn't come home in a while.

That was why I didn't see everyone much lately.


The time when I returned from my coma, it was exactly the same as onee-chan's only break for a long time, she said to me.

Just when I came to see you to resupply myself, you waked up, that made me surprised!”


What was resupply... somehow I felt a little frightened.

And, because I had a lot of unique skills and magic, training them would make me unable to attend school. Anyway, if my training schedule had more subject than it have now, I will probably die because of stress!


And so, today was the beginning of Basic elements arts training.


The thing I had little curious about was...

Mother, are you not having any work now?”

Hm? I do have job, you know? But you all have higher priority, so I'm stopping my work for a while.

So, Alice, do your best until 8, okay? If not I will be too worried to do my work. That's why, let's do our best in your training!”

Why are you emphasizing training, mother...

Ah, you said “you all”, so what about Elise?”


I'm having her running until she drop out, while she has to put wind magic in practical use.”


Elise... may you rest in peace...”

Spells, why holding the role of imagination important, silent casting a spell why moving your body seems to be the most difficult technique.


Moving your body, together with casting a spell, both require your concentration, doing so in a battle would be too hard!

Elise... Do your best!

So that's it, I see...


Elise doesn't have much talent for magic. That was why, to make her a weapon specialist, she has to build up stamina first.


In my case, I have Enchant, so I don't have to do the same. From the start, growth correction FF means that there is not much meaning even if I try to improve my stamina.


Stop the chit-chat, let's start training!”

Y..yes!”

Remembering about the eyes of mother looking to the next intense month, and my answer while breaking a cold sweat.

Her eyes was so scary...


Firstly I will explain about elementary level spells. About this I has told you before, so this is a review.

Elementary level arts have 6 basic attribute, namely fire, water, wind, earth, darkness, and light. Intermediate level arts are the improvement of these, with their name a little different though... Let's take a look at that 3 years later, at the same time as advanced level arts.


Basically, this attribute system can be understood in a broad sense. For example, fire attribute art can make a sphere of fire – fireball, suppressing fire and shooting at opponent is firebolt. But that is not all about fire attribute art. Creating hot wind to shave off stamina of an opponent is also classified as fire attribute art. Yeah, hair drier we use daily also one of elementary level fire attribute art.”


... That one, it must be created by a hero summoned from earth...


And, isn't the naming sense messed up?? Using that name in a world either has Japanese or English like it's natural, I felt something wrong when I heard that word...


Ah, by the way, mother said fireball, and I understood that perfectly, so maybe it was the word of this world?


...Only drier didn't make any sense...


To cast an attribute spell, after invoking your magical power flow, you have to:


1. Directing your magic power into an attribute.

2. Releasing that magic power from your body.

3. Forming the shape of released magic power, before it's mixed with magic power within the environment.

4. Shooting shaped magic power at decided direction.

That's the process. There are some exceptions, but generally it's like this. But, a lot of special attributes arts are different from this process, so take a note there.


In your situation, you can cast spells without chanting, so remembering the chant is not necessary. Chanting makes imagination easier, but without chant, the spell in invoked almost instantly, so that's an advantage.


Well, I will show you the example, this time I'm chanting. Ah, same as Enchant, image is also important to attribute art, you know? Alright, I will show this to you once.


By my command, form a sphere of fire in front of me and shoot at my opponent. Firebolt.”

After mother's chant, a small bullet of fire with diameter around 10 milimetres appeared above her head, fired at the assigned target was the garden. The speed was so fast that can barely can be perceived by eyes.


And then, the assigned target was penetrated, pulverized in to pieces.

Furthermore, the tree behind also got hit and pulverized, and the wall behind that was also pierced halfway, finally the bullet stopped...


This...this is...

““......””

At the crumbling sound and the disastrous scene, both mother and me stopped our breath. A strange moment of silence...

And then, the sound of the half-blew up tree fell down to the ground made both of us return into reality. Mother winked and said.

I did a little too much, teehee


I won't be deceived by that! You clearly used too much magic power! That was a super overkill! If this was a battlefield, shooting that at a dying opponent, and also hit your ally, that is so cruel...”


Well, I wanted to show you what happen when you use too much magic power, that was intended, totally intended!”


That was a lie, wasn't it? Your eyes are averting.”

Uu... Fine...fine! I did it too much! My cute daughter was watching me, so I was hyped up and used too much power! I'm sorry, is that fine?!”


Hmm, look at the result, what you did was really impressive...”

Yeah! So let's stop this topic! Next, now you try doing it!

Just in case, let me set up 10 barriers first...”


Did you say anything rude just now?...”


It's... just your imagination.”


Hmpm~”

I used all my strength staring at mother.


She broke a sweat and looked away.

Yes! I won!


...what did I win though...

.....I'm trying it, mother.”

Somehow while I waited for mother to set up the barriers, I had a strong image in my mind.

I don't have to chant to cast a spell, and I also want to do it as practicing. Firstly, invoking magical flow, I formed my image of fire.


Fire...thinking about fire... red? Blue? The color changes depend on temperature. Scorching.


An explosive scene appeared in front of my eyes.

Explosive...? Yeah! An explosion! Let's use this for today's training!


Explosion...I strongly imagined about an explosion, and then directing magic power into fire attribute, release it from my body, shoot it to my target.


I threw it out, and then...


Booom~~!!!


““...Eh?””


In front of us, where the wall was. Yeah, it absolutely was at that place. A few metres around the wall as imagined “exploded”.

It felt like nothing was at that place... even mother's protective field. Only a crater of a few metres diameter appeared there.


““......””


I couldn't mutter any word... Same as me, mother stood next to me in silence.

Finally, we only came back to our sense after 30 minutes, when Elise came to see us, and made a grand reaction about the crater.

  10. Really enjoying this, but some of the grammar I'm reading is... a bit painful. Is there any chance I could help out with editing? Also for the first "Enchant: protection" that should be endurance not protection.

    1. Either English or Japanese is my mother tongue. While translating I wanted to stay as close as the original version as possible, even when it might be not suitable in English, or sometimes I just made silly mistakes. If it was bad to the level of pointing out the mistakes here isn't enough, then sure, I will have your help happily.

    2. Are you using a google doc at all for this before posting it here, or just posting it directly?

      Delete
    3. I'm posting directly. But still, I want try to do a few chapters more by myself, being edited won't make me better, and that wasn't my aim of translating.

    4. Ah ok, don't worry about it then.

      A few things I would recommend looking out for then is that you might want to keep your terminology consistent so it doesn't get confusing, you consistently used "MP value", and then later used "MP number" and "MP amount". Another thing is for abilities or spells like "Ultra magic power", if you want to capitalize it, then you need to capitalize the entire thing instead of only the first word. Lastly, since this is fiction, when they start practicing magic, a lot of it should be in present tense.

      I did get bored and started editing this chapter on my own, so if you still want to take a look I can link it for you.
