The broad-leaved trees in the mountains are losing their leaves, and you can feel that winter is approaching.

It's been about a month since Mr. Zeore learned the body-strengthening magic, and he finally got permission to practice on his own.

This also means that you can freely use your body-enhancing magic.

"Listen up, Nyango. When you first start using your body enhancement magic, take it slowly. If you suddenly go all out, you can cause injuries to your muscles and joints. The level of reinforcement is fixed, and you have to use the movement of your body to control the amount of strength. "

"Understood."

I used to think that the degree of enhancement was controlled by regulating the flow of magic essence, but it turned out that the proportion of enhancement was fixed.

That is, just toggle "on" or "off".

And the control of speed depends on the strength of the muscles.

For example, if a person who can be strengthened twice as much as he originally wanted to exercise at 50% of his original strength, he would need to control it to 75% of his strength.

"It's good to strengthen your body, but it doesn't feel very good."

"Many people have tried to control the level of reinforcement with magic, but the conclusion is that it is easier to control it with muscles. Of course, you can try, but considering the combination with attribute magic, it can be a little difficult to adjust the magic while still moving freely. "

Indeed, considering that I intend to use it in conjunction with attribute magic, it seems that it would be better to limit enhancement to "on" or "off".

"So, first, try to run without using your body-enhancing magic."

At this time, I was standing on the road on the embankment of the river in the village, where there was no interference and I could run with all my might.

First of all, I tried to run without using my body enhancement magic, and since I've been doing strength exercises in addition to magic training, my speed is significantly faster than in the spring.

"Wow, you're pretty flexible. Okay, let's try to run with body enhancement magic. Try to get it up to 20% at first. "

"20%"

20% sounds conservative, but it's probably because of the danger of muscle damage.

Take a deep breath, calm down, and fill the veins with the magic element.

Although it felt like a gentle jog, I stopped after only five steps.

The hairs on the whole body stood on end, and cold sweat poured out.

"How's that, isn't it amazing?"

I could only reluctantly nod my head at Mr. Zeor's smug question.

It only uses a slight amount of force, but it feels like it's the same speed as when you're running with all your might.

"I never said it, but in fact, the way you flow to magic is quite different from that of ordinary people. It doesn't seem to get out of control, and the magic essence flows so densely that I'm looking forward to it looking stronger than I expected. "

Maybe it's because of the fact that details like capillary are aware of the bits, so that's why it's like this.

However, even if I can achieve a five-fold strengthening, I feel that my muscles and ligaments will be injured.

"It's a reward for sticking to the basics in silence. Don't be swayed by this rare power and continue to train from the basics. "

"Yes, I will. If you're not careful, you'll break your body. "

Start jogging gently again using your body enhancement magic.

With an incredibly slight force, the speed increases in an alarming way.

With 30% of the strength, it is even faster than sprinting with all your strength, and the muscles are much less tired.

However, due to the fatigue of the mana, it seems to be somewhat difficult to perform the reinforcement for a long time.

In addition, when running with a normal 50% strength, I feel a tingling pain in the back of my thigh.

Slow it down immediately, but it shouldn't be a big deal, but if you use your body enhancement magic while sprinting with all your might, it will definitely break down.

"What's wrong? Hurt? "

"Just a little bit of a sting"

"That's it, that's all for today. Perform basic training on magic flow before going to bed. When using body enhancement magic, the resilience will also increase, and the wound will heal faster. "

"Really? I'll give it a try. "

Although I know that it will strengthen my muscles, it is good to hear that my resilience will also increase.

In this world, there are so-called healing potions, which are said to be made by people who use light-attribute magic, and add ordinary ointments to healing magic for a long time, which is very expensive.

As long as you use it, you can stop bleeding or heal wounds, and generally only high-level adventurers carry them for insurance, and they can't afford to buy them for a country kid like me.

If it can recover so quickly, it may be possible to replace the potion.

"Mr. Zeor, if you use body enhancement magic for a long time, will your physical body be strengthened?"

"This can be hard for you. It looks like you're getting a lot of strength, so you can't move at full strength in the strengthened state. In this case, the body will not be able to exercise. ”

"Sure enough, I can only train without using body enhancement magic? When you strengthen your body, you can use your body enhancement magic to generate more power, but you can't use it to your full strength."

"Hahaha, that's true. Hawkers, even so, by exercising, your limits will be higher, and it's not a waste. That's all I can teach you. Next, try it for yourself. ”

"Thank you. Anyway, be careful not to let the body collapse, I'll give it a try. ”

The basics of body enhancement magic have been taught to me, and from now on, I can only explore the limits according to my physical condition.

For me, there are many issues to solve, not only to try to combine with attribute magic.

"Brother Nyon, in a week we're going to the mountains to conduct an intermittent attraction of monsters. You go with you, too. ”

"But I have few means of attack."

"It's okay, I don't ask you to take down monsters, but you have to hone your ability to escape."

"Okay."

From late autumn to spring, Azka Village occasionally appears around the village with monsters lacking food.

In particular, there are already a lot of monsters like goblins, and if they are left alone, they will attack the village in droves, and even cause harm to the villagers.

Therefore, as the real winter approaches, mountain hunting is carried out to reduce the number of monsters.

Mr. Zeor and the others will set out for a crusade, with the larger villagers as the main force.

Even if you encounter a swarm of goblins, as long as you outnumber them, you may be able to defeat them without taking damage.

In the unlikely event that you encounter a large monster such as a pig ghost, Mr. Zeore will be in charge of dealing with it.

I was invited this time, probably because I was recognized as having good escape ability, but I still wanted to get more recognition, at least in terms of attack.

For the time being, prepare to support with "Summon" and "Shield", and then consider whether you can cast more offensive attribute magic within a week.

In addition, if you crusade against goblins, you may have a chance to try eating hearts.

The magic stone will definitely be removed, so it will be necessary to cut near the heart.

However, I don't know how much I have to eat to have an effect, and eating the raw meat of monsters is considered taboo, and if it is discovered by the adults around me, it will be blamed.

Even so, in order to become myself who can perform powerful magic, I must try.

"Ah, Horacio, can you keep up with the training? No news is safe, but this situation can only be said in a world where there is convenient delivery, Horacio. You promised to be a knight. ”

While thinking about Horacio, who was working hard in the distant royal capital, he returned home at dusk.

Indeed, the strengthening of the body also seems to have increased resilience, and the back of the thigh that was just injured no longer hurts.
