Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Immediately after Arcs spoke of the existence of the Magic Meter.

The [Blue Room] of the Magic Mentor Guild calmed down like it struck water.

I didn't understand the meaning of the word... that's not the case.

That would mean that the meaning of the word was shocking to them.

Eventually, a small moan began to leak from among the wizards.

"Well, a tool that can quantify the amount of magic...."

"This is... quite a big one..."

The magician in the white dress and Gastakes shouted in surprise.

Meanwhile, the wizard with the walnuts returned from a moment of surprise.

He turned to Crave in a hurry.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait!Are you serious!? Are you serious!?Lava iron husband!?

"If not, what kind of place do you think we're gonna make?

"No, but I mean... whatever."

Was there too much talk for him?

The wizard with the walnuts repeatedly murmured in a half-distant manner so that his thoughts could not keep up.

Crave had such a funny smile on his face.

"Fred, you don't think I'm gonna announce this in a sneak peek?Can you hold Godwald's old man?

"That's..."

"... that's impossible.So, Mr. Crave, you really made it happen... no, you think he made it happen?

Crave nods mysteriously to the question of an ageless magician.

Inside, a magician in a white dress stepped forward.

In the silence, the sound of the chair's feet rubbing loudly resounds and attracts attention.

I wondered if she would say something, and when she saw it, it seemed like she was under a great shock, and she slapped her mouth.Like a fish launched on land, it seems to be difficult to speak or breathe.

"Um, Mr. Crave.It's really, really, really... "

"Muller, your surprise is right.I know how you feel. So listen to me very carefully now. "

"Ha! Yes, I'm sorry... I'm so excited..."

The wizard in the white dress lowers his head and begins apologizing for the disturbance.

However, she seems to have been more upset than the other wizards.

Crave seemed to know, but there might be a reason.

Now Crave looks at the wizard with the walnuts.

"So, Fred. Are you still upset?

"No, I'm interested in Russia.I'm glad I didn't have to bump.I thought I'd be here today. I'm super awesome. Give me a compliment, husband. "

"Wow, that's great.So listen carefully until the end. "

"Of course."

The walnut wizard must have floated a little too excited.

Lower your hips firmly to the chair and show the attitude that even Teiko won't move here.

"Even so, Lava Iron.Have you ever kept quiet about such an incredible thing?

"That can't be helped, can it?Well, what is this, Godwald's old man.... "

"Hey! You're gonna push it on me!

"No, that's why I talked to you."

"Oh, you...."

"Hey, it's nice to have a boss who can take on a lot of responsibilities.Yeah. "

"That's not why it took so long!

Does Crave want to change the air in the field?Start beating the Alliance Leader.

It's quite familiar to the superiors, but there are no other faces, including the generals, who think of anything in particular.

You must have known the difference between them.

Anyway, that's it.

"... um, may I start explaining?

I cut out the two people who were arguing.

On the other hand, Noah presents the materials in a steady state.

I don't think he's going to help me.Instead, it's interesting to see that you're confused inside.The smile and cold mask reversed and the mouth appeared to be convulsing.

... the character of this young man probably won't change forever.

With the agreement of Crave and the Guild Leader,

Noah, Kazi, get me that.

First, Noah and Kazi nodded and went to the magicians with the paper bags they had prepared in advance.

In line with that,

"We will now distribute magic meters, which are magic quantity measuring instruments, to magicians one by one, so if you are not a magician, we hope you can watch the performance with us."

Noah and Kazi give each magician a magic meter, and the manual distributes a table with the magic amount of each word idiom for everyone, including the generals.The magicians immediately grabbed what had been distributed and began to refine.

"This?

"There's a scale on the wooden frame, a glass tube, and a reservoir on the bottom. Is this... a red liquid?

"It's an interesting creation.But what happens to this..... "

The magicians are shaking gently or upside down.

However, because of the cohesion of the liquid inside, it does not flow out to the measurement part.

"This is a glass tube encapsulated with specially processed magic silver.When magic is generated, the colored magic silver at the bottom swells up to the scale corresponding to the amount of magic released.The magicians should put the magic gauge in a positive position and try to release the magic. "

When the magicians put the magic gauge straight, the generals peek at it with interest.

Soon afterwards, a voice of surprise rose from there.

"Ooh...."

"This is it!

"Nah, the liquid inside is moving!Is this responding to magic!?

While the generals were surprised, the magicians stared at the liquid of the magic gauge as if they had narrowed their horizons.

To supplement those magicians,

"The scale unit is mana.The total amount used for the basic spell of Movement is 10 mana.The amount of magic required is 3 mana, 3 mana, 4 mana from the top, a total of 10 mana. "

The basic Movement spell is' Lead it to where my will shows'.

This spell has a special "its + my will" in its head, but it is divided into three parts, including "where the will shows" and "guide."

That's why we need to release roughly three, three, four and magic.

Since it is a magical foundation, the magicians can naturally use it to breathe, and the numbers are completely uneven.

One of the generals asked the wizard in the white dress as the wizards were matching the figures with the table in a carefree manner.

So, what do you think?Sir Quint, is this working correctly as a measuring instrument?

"... yes, it's true.The red liquid, which shows the amount of magic released, is working exactly as it should.This is the equivalent of the amount of magic consumed by this word.... "

"This is exactly what it looks like...."

The wizard in the white dress alternately looks at the table with the magic meter and the amount of mana, and shows the magic movement to the next sitting general.

When I looked at the other person, did I finish explaining and collating with the neighbor to some extent?

A magician with walnuts was lying on the back of his chair.

However, I wonder if the surprise hasn't come out yet, or if it's a state of almost relaxation.

"... hey, are you serious?I'm not sleeping at home and dreaming, am I?

"Stop it. If this were a dream, I'd sleep twice with a lot of shock."

I don't know.

Yes, sir.

In the meantime, the magicians are teaching the generals how the magic gauge works and checking its performance.

Adjusts the amount of magic released to check the expansion.

And every time it matched, I roared with surprise and admiration.

"How about that? Do you have any questions?"

Looking at the good separation, the magician raises his hand.

Even when I looked at the function of the magic gauge, the magician kept his cool.

I am a man of unknown age at first glance.

"Arks, that was you.Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

"Yes, I'll take it."

Noah whispers in her ear.The magician who has just spoken is Roheim Langler, one of the national magicians and the water wheel magician.

"As explained earlier, I would like to ask you again about this substance."

"This is an existing magic silver that has been specially processed and colored with Tatsuna sand.I don't have a name yet. "

"Now, what is the effective range of this measuring instrument... magic meter?

"When it comes to usage, I wonder if it would be best if it were" 1 meter "to" 2 meters ".If you're too far away, even if you sense magic, there's a huge error in the numbers. "

"That means you can't measure distant magic, and you can't use it to detect magic."

"Yes, I don't think it's a good fit for those applications."

"This means that the effect range is limited, but therefore the secrecy of magic measurement can be maintained."

Yes, because of the narrow measurement range, we cannot hide the amount of magic used by others or use it as a probe.

Technological information can be kept as secret as ever.

Regardless, Roheim still has some questions.

"If I change the magic amount gradually, can I find the exact number in succession?

"It will be difficult. There is a certain time delay in measurement, so I wonder if it is possible to derive more accurate numbers by measuring and teaching words and idioms than by using spells to measure them."

When measuring, the time for expansion and contraction occurs.

The reaction to the sensation liquid is quite good, but I can't keep up with changes that are too fast.

With analog meters, which are often used mainly for speedometers, scales, thermometers and the like, it is also possible to output such numerical transitions, but with the current magic meter, no matter how sensitive it is, it is too primitive and errors occur.

Make bimetal. Create an equivalent.

Maybe there's something else, but it wasn't in the man's memory.

"The amount of magic used in words and idioms is basically taught in a calm and polite state during normal times.There are no other deficiencies because the scene like using it through is not coming in the first place.Hmm.... "

Roheim immediately moved on to the next question, whether he was convinced by the story.

Well then, Mr. Arcs. Does the processed magic silver swell with another factor?

"No such phenomenon has been found so far, but at least the mercury that was the source of the liquid has been subjected to two stages of magic processing, so I don't think it will be affected by temperature or moisture."

"What are the errors due to deterioration of the material, including the contents?

"We are still investigating the deterioration of magic silver, but since the container is made of glass, we assume that there will naturally be a zero point drop and a zero point rise."

"Hmm...?

Roheim frowned slightly when he answered.

Speaking of which, I wonder if there is a concept of zero in this world. It was quite fluffy.

Of course, the wizards know the concept of zero, but in light of the words of the man's world, the combination of these words made it a new word.

The magicians stopped taking notes, wondering what the words meant.

"Ah, uh... as you said, it's an error caused by the deterioration of the container.This is the error caused by the expansion of the glass due to rapid temperature changes and the error caused by the "withering of the glass" due to aging. "

Zero drop.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when the glass is cooled immediately after it has been heated.

Rapid temperature changes will temporarily increase the capacity of the mercury reservoir if the glass does not return to its expanded state.

The temperature sensing liquid that fitted perfectly at zero value naturally dropped below zero point due to the increase in volume.

Measuring the temperature in that state produces a number lower than the correct temperature.

Zero point rise.

This is a phenomenon that happens over time after production.

Over time, the glass that stores mercury shrinks, and the capacity of the mercury reservoir gradually decreases.

As a result, the temperature sensing liquid overflows from the mercury reservoir and the measured temperature becomes higher than normal.

... these errors can occur as long as the container is glass.

That's why,

"Doesn't that mean you can use it with accuracy forever?

"Yes, that's right.We are currently investigating the expiration date, but I wonder if it will be almost the same for about a year.Then you'll need to have an inspection to use it correctly. "

"What are the precautions for storing the Magic Meter?

"Impact during measurement or storage in an unsuitable orientation for a long period of time may cause the elevated sensitivity fluid to not descend and stop in the tube.So please keep it as vertical as possible when storing it. "

"... can I have one last thing?

That's what Roheim said.

"― ― What does this measure magic and represent its amount?

Or rather, it's poking at the core of the Magic Meter.

Arcs thought this question was coming.

Yes, in the first place, this magic meter is not a "weigher."

It does not utilize the properties of the scale compared to the weight.

It's not an analog meter, like a scale with a built-in spring.

In other words, what we are measuring is not the "amount" of magic, but the "quality" of magic.

According to the thermometer that led to this, it would be simple.

Temperature is quality, not quantity.

It is not possible to read the weight or amount from there.

However, the magic gauge is actually a tool for measuring quality, but it is able to measure the amount.

No, it's not.

It's not just weighing, it's weighing.

"This magic meter actually reads' pressure or waves that vary with the amount of magic released '."

The magicians who heard the explanation groaned.

On the other hand, the generals were left behind because of all the professional talk that went on.

Eventually, Roheim opens his mouth.

"Still, the expansion rate has changed in response to the change in magic amount.So this number can replace the amount of magic, right?

"Yes"

When Roheim answered, he looked at the magic gauge and went into retrospect.

Last but not least, questions may arise.

Based on that, what is the question that would be asked?

With a thermometer, it would be immersion related to listening often.

By measuring both the temperature of the area in contact with what you want to measure and the amount exposed to air, the temperature difference may affect the numerical value and the correct temperature may not be measured.However, with regard to the magic meter, because the expansion rate of the internal magic silver changes due to "pressure or waves that vary with the amount of magic released," such an error does not occur.

I thought you might have some questions about that for a while.

Eventually, Roheim lifts the magic gauge and looks at it as if it were to pass through the sparkling glass of the ceiling.

And somewhere deeply emotional,

"I see, it was a blind spot to react to magic to create a substance that expands.No, I noticed it, and I can't even find it.... "

When he says so, he exhales with admiration.

"... wonderful"

It's like a dream that I've been dreaming about for years has come true.

The generals who heard the murmur stopped.

He said, "Lord Roheim roared." "Then it's definitely true."

It was a feeling of being put aside in the explanation, but if the top among the national magicians said so, it would be reassuring.

One of the two generals turned towards us.

"Okay?

"Yes"

"What about the existing research?Why haven't we been able to measure magic like this before?

"Um...."

When the reply stuck for a moment, Roheim raised his index finger.

"Well, let me explain that to you.Certainly, there have been several attempts to measure the amount of magic.The main thing is to measure it compared to the scale by sending magic into the container containing water and pushing up the water in the container.However, because the extra magic is irregularly mixed with air and water, the correct value is not obtained and the number is not always constant.The study to measure magic was frustrated because it couldn't be solved. "

Nah, I see.

The General asks questions and nods to Roheim's explanation.

Another general questions the wizard in the white dress.

"... I mean, after all.What happens with this?

"Until now, understanding the amount of magic required for a word or idiom has relied heavily on personal feelings.However, this makes it easier to convey the amount of magic you can put into words.In other words, magic mastery speeds up dramatically.Dozens, no, dozens!

"That much....."

"And with this, we can quickly switch the magic we use on the battlefield.Either way, the adjustment time spent averaging combat power is almost gone. "

"It also helps prevent the loss of beneficial magic.No, thank you for the short old bones..... "

"Dear Mr. Gastakes, We still have to work hard for the great heroes of the kingdom not to be lucky."

"It's terrible to tell this old bone to work any harder."

That said, Gastaks is laughing.

Then the triangle hat wizard, Mercler, is Aung San Francisco.

"This will fundamentally change things related to magic... revolutionary gem, as the Guild Chief said!

Anyway, the magicians are excited.

Looks like you're watching Crave, Noah, Godward someday.

The magicians were like children, and the generals roared at its usefulness.

"Lord Roheim. It's easy, but what do you think will happen to magic?

"Now that we have a numerical value for magic, we will continue to standardize magic technology.In line with this, the efficiency of the teaching system and work form should also accelerate. "

"It's a mistake. It also helps magicians who were not good at magic manipulation, so you can increase the number of magicians standing on the battlefield more than ever.It simply boosts national power and combat power. "

"Is that true!?

"Hmm, this is for sure."

It seems that the explanation for the increase in armaments has finally given the generals the meaning they were called to.It's like a sudden interest in Russia.

Meanwhile, I noticed that a woman with long forehair in a white dress had grown up.

Looking closely, he seems to be trembling.

Surprise. Excited. Impressive.

I don't know any of them, but it seemed like I couldn't hide the overflowing joy.

"... of immeasurable usefulness in the medical sector.In trauma treatment, you may be able to reduce unevenness in the treatment area, but many magicians will also be able to learn magic that has been difficult to control until now and that has only been learned by a limited number of people.This will help a lot of people.... "

It seems that the wizard in the white dress was a medical wizard.

Sure enough, nod this excitement.

Of course, it was thought that the magic meter would greatly contribute to magic medicine.

Because of the thought of using it, it took a lot of time to adjust.

The wizard in the white dress stood up momentum.

"Well... well invented!

"Yes, yes."

"On behalf of the Medical Department, thank you!Thanks to this invention... no, thanks to the announcement, one of the obstacles that was hindering the advancement of magical medicine has been removed!

"Well, thank you very much for coming."

Is it the influence of a man being a person in a country with a culture of gratitude and apology that pushed the momentum of women to give such an unexplained response?Several times they say, "Thank you," "Thank you for being here," etc.

And there, the magician who had the walnuts,

"So, when does this thing come out?

"I can't help but look at him and take him home."

"Of course. I want to take it home and use it right now."

"Because things are, they are not handled in the form of sales"

"Naturally. If you do that, Your Majesty will behead you."

"But you can keep what you have."

"Really!?

"Yes, we have two spares, considering the possibility of errors."

"You're not lying!I won't ask you if you lied to me later!I won't ask you!

"Ha, yes, it's okay, everyone, please take it home."

Didn't you expect everyone to get it right away? There are a lot of cheers from the magicians for unexpected favors.

"Of course, those who have done sidewalks and so on, are also severely punished for accidental loss.I want everyone to be thorough in their management. "

However, the Alliance Leader sounded a heavy voice to add a note of caution.

Of course, no one here will do such a thing because they are all carefully selected to be involved in national affairs.

The generals will then speak.

"So, how much can we get for this?

I see. That's all I have.I want to expect a quick deployment to the National Army. "

"Hmm... if possible, I'd like to turn it over to the local lords who are in contact with the border..."

"Exactly, Your Majesty will make it conditional.After consulting with the Royal Family. "

Soldiers who do not belong to the National Army are noble private soldiers.Unlike the National Army, it will not be given lightly because it can be moved at the discretion of some aristocrats.

So, is it okay to give priority to the National Army?

As one of the generals tried to come up with an answer, the wizard in the white dress objected.

"No! Deployment to the health sector is our top priority!

"Lord Muller. Of course that's necessary, but from the point of view of national defense, this is also important...."

"No! I'm sorry, but I can't give up on this!And this will go a long way towards treating the wounded soldiers. "

"But it is."

"Master Rudeman, please understand!

Wizard Master, General. I won't give up either.

Naturally, it has already been predicted that there will be such confusion as these relationships.

That's why...

"Are you sure?

"Mm, what is it?

"The Magic Meter has already submitted 500 to the Alliance, including manuals."

"500..."

The general who was arguing with the wizard in the white dress roars.

Then Roheim sounded reassuring.

"... that's enough to turn it around either way.I was ready to spread the word. "

"So, Alliance Leader, can we deploy them to the Warlock's unit immediately?

"Not for all the wizards, but we can get them all in the unit tomorrow."

"How about the medical department?

"Of course, we also have a share for the medical department.However, we need to make arrangements on how to manage it.I want everyone involved to make time for this later. "

"Godwald, will you accommodate some of the elementary school students?There's still a mountain of magic I can't teach my sons. "

"That's right. I understand."

The Guild Leader has no objection to that request.

Gastakes is a great magician with many secrets.

When that technology is lost, the Kingdom's losses will be immeasurable.

Gastaks turned towards Arcs.

"It is impossible for life to understand that grief clears up in this way.Your name was Arcs, boy.This old bone is a sincere thank you. "

"Yes, yes."

Exactly who they are.I get nervous in my reply.

It is a great honor in the kingdom that Gastaks remembered his name.

I can't help but tell you not to be nervous.

... I'm a perverted gentleman.

A wizard with walnuts asks Crave.

"By the way, isn't this really made by Lava's husband?

"Oh, can't you believe it?

"I don't know. Still a little kid, huh?Isn't it stranger for someone to believe you're telling me?

"But I can't think of anything like this.Almost all this took shape, and I just came up with a little refinement plan... a few years ago. "

"Hmm....!?

"So you're seven or eight years old!?

The conference hall is surprised, no, stunned.If the original proposal was made even earlier, it would be impossible to do so.

Among them, Roheim, who had remained calm,

"I mean, two years, but why did you take so long to announce it?

"Yes, because there are special processes in the production process and things are, it was necessary to collect proper statistics, and the rest is a tool for measuring numbers, so there should be no individual differences.For the first time, I thought that everything that I made could perform the same thing. "

And this is still big.

"Since deployment to the medical sector was contemplated, accuracy must be increased as much as possible, and for the above reasons, it took time on an annual basis."

"Hmm, that's right.Did you really think about that? "

Roheim speaks convincingly.

Measuring instruments become useless when the numerical values to be determined are misaligned.

That's why these things don't make sense unless they're perfected with precision.

That's why it would take the most time to inspect.

Due to repeated production and inspection, the number of waste products produced is more than three times higher.

If the money doesn't come in now, I put so much effort into making Crave, who donated the money, go bankrupt.

"And...."

"Besides, what?

"Uncle Crave will want it as soon as he announces it, so we need to have as many as we can."

"Of course."

That's right.

Yes, sir.

I smiled bitterly at the fact that the wizards had the same opinion.

Like Crave and Noah did, they want to improve their magic.

It is not hard to imagine that all the magicians here will be at home for days or weeks.

Eventually, the Guild Leader will be closing the meeting.

"We're still looking at the timing, but we're going to announce Arcs as the maker of the magic meter.Of course, you have no objection?

And everyone nodded.

This is natural. Instead, it would be troublesome if it did not.

There's still time to talk about that.

"And the production costs and the prizes for the Archangel will be spent from the Magic Mentor Guild.Who has any objections to the state-appointed magician sitting here?... no.All right. "

There was no one else to dispute this.

And then Gastakes,

"Godward, what are you going to do about the medal?

"Ha, ha. You will surrender to His Majesty the King and ask him for his judgment."

Well, let's play it from this old bone.

"Then I'll tell you about it."

Lowheim follows Gastakes' suggestion.

Then, Crave struck me lightly on the back in an inspiring way.

Looking up, the windy smile.

"That's good. A note from the top three seats of the Master of the Nation."

"Yes...."

The happy thing is the happy thing.

It is unlikely that a medal will ever be awarded.

It's about time it got too important and scary.

"Nhh, isn't it over yet?

... to remind him not to read the air of the wizard with the walnuts, there was a sigh of astonishment from around him.
