Chapter 5: Tempered into Steel

If there is no light in the world, I will be the sun, if there is no warmth in the world, it will be up to me to radiate, if there is no hero in the world, then I will be a hero. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you always complain about the cruelty of the world, you will never grow up, and if you hate it, you will change it yourself.

That's what a man is supposed to do, right?

- That's what Shinji didn't forget and never gave up.

"Is this the end of it?"

Ken Maki looked down at Shinji who fell to the ground, completely ignoring the tragic situation of his skin cracking open due to his excessive use of magic.

"Of course not"

Shinji, on the other hand, struggled to stand up and casually wiped his forehead with his sleeve - dyed his sleeve red

Holding back the feeling of the river and sea in his stomach, Shinji took a deep breath, and then, nodded, "I'm fine"

So, Dirty Yan also nodded.

"Then go ahead"

――There was no mercy, and as soon as the words ended, dozens of spell bombs bombarded me like a tide.

Although there is no doubt that Kensho is good at unique insect magic, as a master magician, his attainments in other magic tricks are by no means idle.

At least, this overwhelming spell has surpassed the vast majority of magicians.

"Tsk!!"

Shinji knew that he couldn't back down.

Spell bullets are not something that can only be attacked in a straight line, and although the basic principle is a magic group that fires at high speed, the basic guiding function is still available.

If you rashly think that dodging will solve the problem, then it's not a fun thing to be hit by all of them - that's what happened just now, because of a moment of carelessness, I ate a dozen of them, and I almost couldn't stand up.

So, Shinji stretched out his hands and stepped forward, as if to raise a huge shield.

Then, he shouted angrily.

"-Shield Wall!!"

The light bloomed from his hands, and the will to reject extracted from his heart activated the fiery magic circuits in his body.

About forty pieces of demonic power condensed in an instant, then flowed straight from the rough circuit to his hands, and then radiated, and finally unfolded in front of his eyes, turning into a shield-shaped wall of light two meters high and four meters wide.

The spell bomb hit the barrier of light with a continuous crackling sound, shaking the atmosphere, but the number of breakthroughs was not even one.

'It is finished!'

Shinji was overjoyed for a second, but the next moment, before these joys subsided, the blow had already arrived.

"You don't just have a chest, Shinji - you still have a back"

The voice of the dirty ken sounded slowly, and before that, it was the whip that hit Shinji the back.

The Shadow's whip staggered him and nearly fell to his knees.

――You know, although he is still seven years old, thanks to a certain operation, Shinji is now strong, and even an ordinary adult man may not be able to match it.

From this, you can also imagine how painful it will be if you don't leave much hands.

"Teachable"

Wiping away some of the blood that spilled from his mouth, Shinji nodded depressedly.

He was sure that the blow was an additional attack that Dirty Ken had only unleashed temporarily, but so what?

He's right.

He still has a back, and he needs to watch out for plots.

Even if you don't plan to use those intrigues and intend to win with dignity, if the enemy is a junior, then at the very least, you must be vigilant.

"Teachable"

Seeing Shinji like this, Dirty Yan nodded again.

Then, he asked another question about the phenomenon that had occurred in the two days of training.

"But Shinji, why don't you use the magic that has already been developed?"

- Shinji Makiri, before undergoing the operation, he had already mastered a lot of knowledge of the Demon Dao, and it was because of this that he did this surgery with the mentality of trying. But now, obviously he has magic powers, but Shinji hasn't even used them once, those magic tricks recorded in books.

Whether simple or complex, one, none.

All the spells he used were rudimentary and rudimentary, and while courage was commendable for creating his own spells, it was not something to be encouraged as an academic thing like spells.

I can't even walk, but I already want to practice backflips - this is not arrogance, but arrogance.

"Ah, because I don't need it"

As soon as he thought of this, Shinji became even more depressed.

Why didn't he want to use those ready-made magic tricks, instead of wasting magic here like a thankless fool?

More than a hundred magic powers, for a child, is already a terrible number, with these magic powers, if used well, he is enough to stand alone, but unfortunately, in the current situation, he can only do some brute things.

"Can't help it?"

Dirty Yan frowned, "Why can't you use it?"

This is undoubtedly counterintuitive.

The magic power drawn from the Great Source, as long as there is enough preparation, can be channeled into magic - this is the foundation of the foundation, and there is absolutely no problem with Shinji's skills.

So why can't it?

"I don't know, magic will always fall short in the end"

Shinji shook his head, equally puzzled.

"Do it for me"

Dirty Yan decisively ordered.

Since he can't understand it, he can see it for himself, and his thoughts are very simple.

So, Shinji obediently stretched out his hand, and then, began the project-

Ka Qiang!

In my mind, the sword of light pierced through the earth, and then, from the cracks in the earth, golden magic surged.

The mana in the atmosphere is absorbed, and then, in the magic circuit that has become a part of Shinji's body and an organ, it is dyed and changes from a colorless and transparent state to a brilliant light - "Stop!!"

Then, Shinji was stopped.

Jian Tong has already seen the problem.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that cannot be solved.

"-You're a failure, Shinji"

Makiri sighed regretfully, and then, in Shinji's stunned expression, began to explain the problem.

"-The question is too simple, Shinji, the magic you used has been contaminated"

Yes, it's that simple.

It's like quicklime can be used to mix cement, but I've never heard of slaked lime being used as a raw material.

Originally, it was colorless and transparent, and the magic power that was used as the base material had deteriorated since it passed through Shinji's magic circuit.

It's something that can be described as light or something.

In short, it is something that can no longer be regarded as magic.

Then, spells based on ordinary magic power naturally can't be realized.

To put it simply, it's a matter of magic loops.

No, Shinji's magic circuit, can it really be called a magic circuit?

If someone else's magic circuit is a way to absorb magic and provide a forge, then Shinji's magic circuit is more like a whole processing factory.

--In addition to the function of shaping the shape of the object, it also undertakes the precursor of changing the properties of the raw materials and adding the ingredients.

This also proves one thing - not everything is better if you do more.

Shinji gritted his teeth and let out a sigh.

"No way, that's the only way to go"

Although it is a pity, the little boy still put on a posture of attacking again: "Since the ready-made things can't be used, it seems that the only way to put in more things is to put in more things, right?

Kiriki nodded and responded to him affirmatively, "That's right, Shinji, it's this that satisfies me - keep this momentum going."

Raising his hand, the high-speed chanting of the incantation was only a second's work, and then, the rain of incantations that had a lot of skill hit again.

This time, Shinji was mentally prepared.

- There is a way!

While cheering himself up, Shinji stared at the barrage tightly.

Gaps must be found, and only then can the next decision be made, and Shinji's plan is to destroy the barrage before it closes around him - otherwise, no matter how subtle the defenses are, they will always be broken if they are passively beaten.

- But that's the case, the overwhelming barrage is not so good-looking.

From the moment it shoots out to the time it arrives, it doesn't take a second, so if you want to catch the flaw, you have to be faster than that!

“！！”

This attempt, it was still a failure.

The wall of light was forced to unfold again, and the roaring barrage once again made Shinji tremble—this time more and heavier than the last time.

Shinji took a few steps back, but after all, he still didn't fully stand up to the pressure, his feet were weak, and he fell to one knee on the ground.

He gasped violently, sweat dripping down his forehead, and his arms were already overwhelmed and wailing.

There must be some way.

Tell yourself that, but it doesn't make sense if you keep going like this.

That's not the kind of eyesight and reaction that humans should have, and that's the kind of thing that I knew from the beginning.

But so what?

"Again—"

Shinji straightened up again and took on a face-to-face pose.

No one will succeed the first time, try the second time if you fail once, try the third time if you fail twice, until you give up, the opportunities are always limitless.

――If you don't try, who knows if you'll succeed!!

The third barrage came as promised, and then, there was another defeat, and bombing.

Shinji Maki fell down again, and then, again, stood up.

In this way, if he never gives up, at least one thing he knows.

"Again!!"

One day, I won't be a waste, and one day, I will be able to do what only I can do.

This is the truth that after a thousand tempers, wrought iron becomes steel.

"Again-!!"
