"Ultimately, magic is harnessed by imagination."
Theon sat leisurely on the high-quality sofa in the captain's cabin, and explained the magic as simply as possible to Ajid, who was also sitting on the sofa.
"What does the magic drawn from the body want to do... If you can't imagine this well, no matter how much magic you have, you won't be able to activate magic... It will either explode or fail, or in the worst case, go crazy. , will eventually develop into a major accident."
"As long as you have the imagination to do what you want to do, you can do anything?"
Regarding Ajid's question, Xion hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Just having an impression is not enough. The magic power to achieve it is necessary. But, to put it a bit more extreme, it may be said that as long as you have a huge magic power and a clear image that can achieve anything, you can do anything."
In fact, the gods described in the myths used amazing magical powers to do things that humans can only consider miraculous.
But even these gods can't do everything.
In other words, the answer to the question, "Can magic do anything?" is, "Theoretically it is possible, but there is no such thing as magic." This is correct.
"I have said so many unnecessary things, but in short, to use magic, you need 'the magic power required to activate the magic' and 'a clear impression of the events caused by the magic'. As long as you master this, it will be fine."
"...Yeah, I understand all of this."
"Then let's put it into practice."
After listening to Xion's words, Ajit immediately stood up, left the sofa, and stood in a corner of the captain's room with nothing in it.
Xiaojing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a few seconds, his body began to glow.
"I repeat, the important thing is to imagine...more strictly speaking, to be able to imagine it clearly for yourself."
When it comes to using magic, there are no right answers.
Although there is magic shaped by the wisdom of the ancestors, its performance will vary depending on the user.
On the other hand, as long as the desired effect can be achieved, it is free.
"Shape, texture, you can choose any one. But you can't be vague. ... It can be round or square. Is it as hard as an armor plate to resist attacks? Or is it soft like a cushion to resist attacks?"
Now what Xiaojing wants to create is a magic wall.
In addition to people, they can also control the power of protection against intruders.
If the image in Ajid's mind is solidified by asking specifically about its way of being, then a thin wall of light will form around Ajid under its impetus.
A few seconds later, a spherical wall of light surrounded Ajit's body, and Theon threw the rubber ball he took out of his hand.
The one that was thrown hard hit the light wall and bounced back.
There was no special change in the place where the ball hit, and the magic barrier continued to protect Xiaojing.
"Yes, passed."
Although it was just a rubber ball thrown, the ball did not slip away and acted as a defensive wall.
Being able to do this for the first time is already good enough.
After hearing Xion's words, Ajit relaxed. After confirming that he had cleared the wall, Xion picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of sweet cocoa.
"No, the captain understands it very well and it's very easy!"
That's about two weeks away from that thing on Amazon.
Ajid said that if possible, he would like to learn the knowledge and magic of relationships every day, and he is undoubtedly the most working person in the "Mist".
In fact, it is very strict, and the frequency is once every two or three days. Decided to do it in the evening after work.
Therefore, this is the fifth time we have held a lecture on human society.
Having said that, the first two were all about knowledge, and the third was about magic tricks.
In the third time, although it was very light, he even learned the magic barrier. This is undoubtedly evidence that Ajid is quite savvy.
"Although you understand it quickly, you don't have anyone to compare it with, right?"
"No, there are many people who are not members of the technical class at all..."
Although he continued to teach magic to the Thirteen Skills Class, except for a few people with special feelings, almost no one could use it normally.
In particular, the current members, led by Gensang, are of an older age group, but on the contrary, there are also younger members who have the same taste as Ajid. Kat, Kanna, and the youngest Angela are obvious.
As was just said to Ajid, magic depends largely on image.
Children with rich imaginations are more suitable than older adults.
"When you say that, I feel like you are saying that I am like a child?"
"To use an analogy, it's just a tendency."
Regardless of whether he is childish or not, Ajit has a strong curiosity about "other worlds" and things outside of other people, and he can think flexibly about these things.
It is probably because of this nature that he can use magic skillfully.
For the time being, it has been decided that today's lecture will end with learning about magic defense.
It's not good to cram in too much at once, and besides, Ajid is already very busy.
If someone falls down due to excessive use of magic power that is closely related to life force and spiritual power, it will become a big event.
"Istar, I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to use this room when learning magic?"
"Really? But didn't the captain say at the beginning that he didn't need to teach attack magic?"
After teaching Ajid magic, he immediately confirmed what kind of magic he wanted to learn.
So Ajid replied, give priority to using defensive magic, and in the worst case, there is no need to attack.
"Having said that, you need to practice how to resist attacks in the future, right? It's troublesome to do this in this room."
Xiaojing’s reason is not incomprehensible.
This captain's room is not only the captain's office, but also a reception room for representatives of other units.
In fact, the sofa where Theon and Ajit sat facing each other was of quite good quality precisely because it was a guest item, and the decoration of this room itself was completely different from other cabins.
Although it is for training, it is not good to use attack magic in a room like that.
"But, are there any other convenient rooms?"
When initially discussing where to hold the lecture, Sheehan made two conditions.
First, don’t let other crew members see it.
Two o'clock, try to get as close as possible to Theon and Acid's room.
The purpose of these two conditions is to prevent people from seeing him giving lectures to other crew members - strictly speaking, Theon and Ajit have a good relationship.
The bridge members all knew from their daily conversations that Theon and Aki had a good relationship, and with some exceptions, they didn't take them seriously.
But overall, the sight of Ajit and Theon talking in a relaxed atmosphere is likely to be viewed poorly.
It is known that Anna and Theon have a good relationship, so many people cast doubtful eyes on her. If Captain Ajid also received the same eyes, it would be troublesome.
Regarding this, Xiaojing also had the same idea.
It's a different matter if you directly see the lecture, and you don't want others to see you go to the place where the lecture is held.
In any case, whether it is the magician Theon or the captain Ajid, they are very conspicuous walking around the ship.
Even if the two of them are not seen together, if there are rumors that they "frequently wander around the same place", it will make the conversation more far-fetched than if they see the lecture directly.
Considering these conditions, the most suitable one is this captain's room.
The captain's cabin also has a high security level within the "Mist". In short, it is not an area where ordinary crew members can wander around at will.
And in order to prevent attacks from people who don't like Theon, Theon's private room is in the same area as the captain's room.
Moreover, there is only one door connecting Ajid's private room to the captain's room.
The captain's room itself only allows a few people to enter and exit, and no one can enter without Xiaojing's permission.
That said, there could not be a more perfect room.
"Since we have to use attack magic, it would be better to use a shooting training room or something like that..."
"...Because it's far away and anyone can get in."
It's easy to use exorcism to prevent anyone from coming, but it's hard to say that there is absolutely no sneaking behavior like Xiaojing and Natsumi, and it's pointless if someone sees it while moving.
"This room is the best."
"...No, why don't you just stay in my private room?"
As he spoke, Aki pointed to a door inside the captain's room.
"If this room meets the conditions, then there will be no problem with my room related to this room, right?"
"……indeed so."
If he is discovered, "Sion Istar is invited to the captain's private room every night", it seems that awkward rumors will spread due to the very powerful conversation.
Having said that, it would have been awkward to explain this to Ajid, who was completely unaware of it, so Theon didn't say anything and just replied "Yeah."
Xion's subtle attitude made Agit a little surprised, but from next time on, they decided to hold the lecture in Agit's private room.
"...It would be terrible if the glasses deputy captain knew about it."
This uneasiness flashed through his mind, but since it was a case that he didn't even bother to think about, Xion decided not to think about it.
