Chapter 220.1. The Template Magic Battles

The next day.

In a peaceful spring atmosphere, as usual, Mii-chan came to the ground, swinging her tiny arms and legs and clucking like a chicken, while pondering what her neighbor would have for breakfast.

The vast ground was surrounded by walls reinforced with magic. Along the walls were rows of magic iron targets, making it easy to guess their purpose – a shooting range.

All the students from Class 1-3 had gathered, chattering excitedly, looking forward to the upcoming class. It’s understandable why we were excited because today we would be practicing real magic.

The student wasted no time and dived into practical magic training at the Spartan Magic Academy. It’s a typical template found in novels.

The only difference is that thanks to the author’s ill intentions, boys wore jerseys while girls wore a skin-tight leotard-like suit.

Not the old-style gym clothes called bloomers. It’s quite a level of harassment but seems permissible in the world of novels. The girls don’t question their appearance, probably because the author put in extra effort to make it appealing for the eventual anime adaptation.

Of course, the boys sneak glances, but the girls don’t seem too bothered. It’s a low-fantasy world. I can’t help but think it’s a low-fantasy world.

Well, the trend is towards wearing Wartan suits, so the level of exposure isn’t that high. The basic Wartan suits have thin, lightweight armor that covers the entire body.

Gentlemen might be shocked and call in with complaints, saying they don’t need such suits, but it’s a world where performance matters.

Those who create top-tier specialized equipment don’t seem concerned, but since those are expensive, only a few use them.

“Alright! Everyone is gathered. Today, we will test the power of your magic. Shoot the targets along the walls. The Mana Gauge will calculate the strength of your shots.”

The homeroom teacher began explaining to the assembled students. It’s a classic template.

Mii-chan was excited and fidgeting with anticipation.

At this moment, the protagonist would be the center of attention.

“Oh, who is that girl?”

Everyone’s attention would be on her. It’s the event where she transitions from being a background character to a main character. It’s a crucial moment, so I said it twice.

After 2 years of perseverance, now it’s the time for Takano Miu’s breakthrough!

Focusing and pumping herself up, she waits for her turn while observing the other students.

Here it is – the moment of casting without chanting. It always surprises everyone.

“She used magic without chanting! Wow, amazing!”, excitement.

[Fireball]

One of the students hit the target with a fireball without chanting.

“Wow, [Chantless] casting. That’s the first thing everyone learns. Chanting for magic is just too bothersome, right?”

Tamamo-chan swished her fluffy tail, showing her excitement and cute fang as she spoke.

Yes, she’s right. Magic chanting can be cumbersome for children, so they usually start with casting without chanting.

People who dislike learning chanting during magic practice casting without chanting secretly.

And speaking of which, Tamamo and Yamiyo were also casting without chanting.

I found out the truth. The template was a lie. If you were an innocent child, you’d practice casting without chanting, so maybe it’s the opposite that would surprise them – being able to remember their chants.

That guy can drive a manual car instead of an automatic. That’s amazing! It must be tough to memorize everything.

Well, I won’t be discouraged. There are still more templates. Next is using multiple elemental magics.

[Fireball]

[Breeze Ball]

[Stone Ball]

“Ohh, as expected of the genius of the Magic Tower!”

“Did you see that? She used three attributes at the same time!”

“Ninny-san, you’re amazing!”

Ninny swung her staff and cast three attribute magics at once. Everyone admired her.

“Hmph, how about that? Have you witnessed the genius of Ninny-sama?”

She brushed her hair back, making a triumphant expression, proudly puffing out her chest and sniffing. Even as her pointed hat tilted, she managed to show her cuteness while hurriedly adjusting it.

Oh, right, there was a genius named Ninny. Her magic power might be weak, but she adeptly handles most attributes.

Casting 3 magic circles simultaneously to use magic is truly a sign of genius. It’s like a Grand Mage’s Triple Spell or something.

I’m not jealous at all. I’ll applaud everyone.

Though Mii-chan’s cheeks puff out slightly, it’s because she’s putting her heart into it.

“That was amazing, Ninny-san, the genius mage. Well then, it’s my turn now. I’ll do my best not to lose.”

Applause in the background, Yamiyo aims at the target after Ninny. With a serious expression, she extends her hand horizontally to gather mana.

The next template is destruction.

Someone is destroying the target and even the wall behind it.

Everyone will be stunned by the destructive power. That’s the template.

So Mii-chan’ll hold back and send my wish with my gaze, hoping it reaches Yamiyo. Can she send it with cash on delivery?

Yamiyo notices Mii-chan’s gaze and gives her a strong smile. Yes, Yamiyo, I believe in you.

“Haaaaa!”

[Create Dark Blade]

A black aura emanates from her palm, condensing and forming a pitch-black sword. It’s a sword that exudes an ominous aura at first glance.

Even Mii-chan, who shouldn’t be able to see mana, can sense the powerful mana aura.

“Mii-sama, please watch my power!”

For some reason, Yamiyo is filled with determination as she swings the sword and begins gathering even more mana.

[Darkness Sword 1st Style, Giant Skeleton Swords]

Bones emerge and gather from the dark sword. Unlike 2 years ago, the fearsome bone sword has transformed into a sleek, slender blade, exuding sharpness like a mirror with floating bones.

Previously, it looked more like a massive club, but now it has been neatly compressed, turning into a blade adorned with floating bones.

It has become a sword that can cut instead of just smashing. Yamiyo must have trained a lot.

[Chinese Bamboo Splitter]

Gripping the sword with both hands, Yamiyo steps forward and strikes down at the target. The dark slash extends instantly and cleanly cuts through the target like slicing cheese.
