Chapter 59 Secret Technique

Part 2

“… I am… Not feeling well, so I will abstain.” (Member 4)

“!? Are you really sure? It is a great opportunity though…” (Sytry)

A Magi with a sense of crisis raised his hand a little and left with his Party Members.

Sytry smiled and looked at them without complaining.

I silently wait for a while, but it looks like no others member chose to leave.

Sytry checked the face and the determination of the remaining Magi and their Party and asked again.

“Is there really no one else who doesn’t want to receive the training? You can’t get frightened after seeing it and give up later.” (Sytry)

I looked at their face but there was no one who stood up.

I wonder if it was thanks to the good advertisement by using Lucia’s name. Behind me, Tino was also terrified but she was still listening to Sytry’s words.

But is there really such an efficient training?

For Hunters, who sometimes have to shoulder each other’s lives, 『Trust』 is a very important factor.

It is an indicator of your ability as a Hunter, this is why your certification Level is proof of trust. And that is why the Level Down is regarded as the worst penalty in the Explorer Association.

Even if your opponent is a member of the same Clan, if you lie in such a place, Sytry’s reputation… And maybe even Strange Grief’s reputation… will be greatly lowered.

Sytry nodded after confirming that no one left.

“So now, let’s get started. Even if I say that, the content itself is not that difficult and it doesn’t take a lot of time… For the time being, can I have the cooperation of one person?” (Sytry)

In response to those words, the previous male Mage, who said with confidence that he could drink Magical Recovery Medicine, stood up and approached.

Sytry-chan pulled out a silver pocket watch from her pocket and glanced at it. She raised her index finger and said with a bright voice.

“First of all, please charge the Relic with your magical power. Conveniently, Cry-san has a lot of empty Relics.” (Sytry)

… I completely forgot about it. We came here to ask them to charge my Relics…

I pass the empty 『Safe Ring (Barrier Ring)』 to Sytry.

The male Magi began charging with a suspicious expression while everyone’s eyes look at him.

Time goes by silently. The man’s expression changed from a suspicious one to a rugged one.

“…… Wait a second. What is that, Relic, the charging, doesn’t end!?” (Member 3)

“It is fine, please keep charging.” (Sytry)

“… Kuh.” (Member 3)

The fiery appearance of the man visibly turned white. On his forehead, oily sweat started to appear.

From his previous self-confident words, he seemed to be a High-Level Magi, but even for such a Magi, the Barrier Ring seemed to be a heavy burden.

It seemed that magic power exhaustion is similar to the feeling when Lucia is drunk, and her wobbly legs can’t make her stand up.

“You should sit down.” (Sytry)

“… Ha, haa…” (Member 3)

He fell into the chair Sytry pulled out. After waiting a few minutes, the Relic was finally charged.

After he finished charging the Relic, the male Magi lips were blue, and his fingers were shaking. Maybe because he had a headache, he put his hand on his forehead and frowned.

Sytry picked up the Barrier Ring on the table and nodded satisfyingly and hand it to me.

“Okay, now that the first charge is over, the next thing is… To charge the next Relic again.” (Sytry)

“!? What, did, you, say!?” (Member 3)

“Wait. Fuvil is at his limit. He can’t do it anymore!” (Fuvil’s Party Member)

“It is okay. I will stop when he reaches his limit. He will not die.” (Sytry)

No matter what the Party protest was, Sytry gave the next Relic with a smiling face. The male Magi who was called Fuvil, received it breathlessly and resumed charging with a small complaint.

His breathing was getting rougher. It was the obvious sign of a symptom of Magic exhaustion. If he continued to charge, his magic power will be completely exhausted soon.

Sytry began to explain with a soft voice to everyone who was watching him breathing roughly.

“Here is a brief explanation. Magi’s ability is proportional to the total amount of their Magic power. Generally, it is said that women are better suited to be Magi because the total amount of Magic power grows easier for women. And the upper limit of magic power usually grows from childhood to mid-teens and stops there. 『Noble (Spirits People)』are excellent as Magi because their aging speeds are different from humans… Their Magic growth period is very long.” (Sytry)

Fuvil’s breath becomes rougher and rougher. His one last breath leaked from his lips and he loses his strength and lies on the table.

The hand holding the ring naturally opened and the Barrier Ring rolled on the table.

Sytry picked it up and continued her explanation.

“And so… The total amount of magic power completely stops growing in your mid-teens. But even after the end of their growth period, it is known that at a certain time, it can exceptionally increase. The amount… Is about five to ten percent. It is commonly called as 『Super Recovery』, but do you know when it happens?” (Sytry)

.

The question is fearfully answered by a female Magi.

“Magic power… Exhaustion…?” (Female Magi)

“Correct answer! When your Magic power is exhausted and then recovered… The maximum amount is greatly increased!” (Sytry)

At that moment, everyone’s hearts were certainly united.

The Magi who were curious about Sytry’s previous sweet words turned pale. They probably understood what it meant.

An easy way? Efficient way? No way.

Indeed, Magic Super Recovery is fairly known but no one likes it. This was because the burden on the Magi was too heavy. Sure, you are not dying, but it might be better to die.

At least, it was not a training that can be called secret or efficient.

“Bu… But the amount of Magic power increase during the recovery!? And recovery takes time…” (Female Magi)

“And this is where my special “Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)” comes in.” (Sytry)

An assistant wood Golem took out a transparent bottle, a Potion from a wooden box and gave it to Sytry.

It was a dark black potion that looks like melted ink.

Didn’t “Mana Potions (Magic Recovery Medicine)” have a more beautiful color?

Sytry picked the man who was down and puffed out her chest which was bigger than her sister’s.

“Because it is adjusted for Lucia-chan maybe… Fuvil-san will recover with a few drops.” (Sytry)

“Wait, a sec…” (Fuvil’s Party Member)

Fuvil-san’s Party Members wanted to stop her, but they were too late.

A few drops of special Magic power recovery medicine were sucked into a pipette and was then inserted in the mouth of Fuvil who was having a Magic exhaustion.

Then Fuvil-san’s body which wasn’t able to move, like a dead fish, suddenly jerk up greatly. With his behavior which didn’t seem human, his Party Members, who were surrounding him, screamed and went behind him.

Sytry-chan approached the pitiful Magi, who lied on the table and didn’t move a single finger.

She lifted his eyelids, checked his white eyes, gently tapped his cheeks and tilted her neck and took out her pocket watch, and confirmed the time.

“In just three minutes and twenty seconds, his Magic power was improved by ten percent. This is the secret Magic training technique devised by Cry-san for Lucia-chan to grow. By repeating it, you can expect a drastic improvement in Magic power. If the amount of Magic power increase, your ability to keep fighting improve and you can learn new Magic which consumes more Magic power. When the Magi who is the pillar of the Party, grows, it greatly increases the survival rate of the entire Party. How efficient… How awesome!” (Sytry)

… I don’t remember giving this idea.

“Bu… But Fuvil’s consciousness is still…” (Fuvil’s Party Member)

To this outrageous training method, the female Magi makes a quivering voice, Sytry pointed at the back of the eight stone Golem and said with a big smile.

“No problem, the Golem is here for that. It is fine if all you think about is charging Relics. Leave everything to the Golem. I don’t think you will, but if you try to escape… It is impossible.”

TL notes:

Thx for reading!

Here is the fearful training design by Cry without knowing about it XD.

I am not sure if the Super recovery happen when magic recovers naturally or only if there is a fast recovery due to potions. It is probably like muscle but as the most I do is a few pushups every day I don’t know if we get more muscle if the recovery is faster.

I can picture the mage jumping like a fish out of water when he drinks the potion and then falling flat on the table with his little soul coming out of his mouth XD

Tchao à plus!
