Automatic magic, level up!

 --Six months after the aptitude ceremony.

 Six months after the Aptitude Ceremony, Artoo had gone to a low-level dungeon first thing in the morning on his day off.

 There, he was on a quest to exterminate poisonous rabbits, both for training and to earn some money.

 Poisonous rabbits are weak monsters that don't bring in much experience when defeated, so most adventurers don't want to do the job.

 However, if left unchecked, they could cause damage to crops, so low-level adventurers were usually the ones to exterminate them.

"Fireball activated!

 When Artoo finds the poisonous rabbit, he activates the text recorded in his Auto-Magic and unleashes a magical attack.

 A fireball appeared and headed towards the rabbit like a bullet.

 The fireball hits the rabbit, and the rabbit is charred to death.

"Good, good.

 Alto's fire magic was the result of half a year of training, and he was able to defeat a rabbit.

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 He sat down in an appropriate place.

 Then, he suddenly opened the status window.

 Magic Circuit 1

 Automatic Magic Lv9(99,915/100,000)

 Warding Lv10(14,111/100,000)

 Fire Magic Lv5(3,444/50,000)

 Water and Ice Lv7(7,444/70,000)

 Sacred Magic Lv1(0/10,000)

 Dark Magic Lv1(0/10,000)

 Physical Magic Lv1(0/10,000)

 Enhancement Magic Lv10(1,501/100,000)

 Appraise Magic Lv9(1,011/90,000)

 In the past six months, my status had increased considerably due to the constant use of my skills in Auto-Magic.

''You're almost at level 10 in auto-magic, ....''

 I'm not sure what's going to happen to automagic, since no one has ever gotten that power before.

... Okay, I'm almost at the next level up, so let's go for it.

 †.

 Alto continued to exterminate the poisonous rabbits until it was over noon.

 And so, finally, the long awaited voice is heard.

[Auto-Magic has leveled up.

[It's finally at level 10: ...]

 I'm not sure if it's because I'm a bit of an idiot or because I'm a bit of an idiot.

 Then he opens the Auto Magic window.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 <For Magic Buff Training

  For 1000

   Magic Buffs

  next

 Now that you have reached level 10, you can activate the conditional.

  The syntax is as follows

  If Condition

   Skill name

  end If

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

'Condition ...? Could it be that you can automatically choose whether or not to activate the skill?

 Alto couldn't think of a quick way to use it, but he tried to write some text.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 <Conditional Practice

  If a poisonous rabbit appears

   Fireball

  end If

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

For example, how about something like this: ...?

 Artoo writes that down for now, and then begins to explore the area to test his power.

 And soon, a poisonous rabbit appears in his sight.

 Then.

Fireball activated.

 The next moment.

 The next moment, even though Artoo didn't give any orders or activate any skills, the fireball was automatically activated and flew to the poisonous rabbit.

 The poisoned rabbit was scorched to a crisp.

"Seriously?

 Alto was amazed at the convenience of the fireball.

 If you set the conditions in advance, it will activate the magic regardless of your will.

 Until now, he could only "keep" activating his skills as ordered.

 So it was good for training, but it wasn't really useful for anything.

 However, it's a different story when you can set conditions.

 For example, if you start a text that says, "Shoot a fireball when a poisonous rabbit appears" in this place, then Alto can automatically hunt poisonous rabbits even if he is reading or sleeping. There's no need to run around from morning to night anymore.

 It's an ability worthy of the name of fully automatic magic automagic.

... Maybe you can kill all the poison rabbits at once?

 Artoo finished his lunch and resumed his hunt for poisonous rabbits.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do, and how you're going to do it.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 <Conditional Exercise

  If a poisonous rabbit appears

   Ice Needle

  end If

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 I thought the smell of burning fireballs would alert people after I killed one, so I rewrote it as water ice magic.

Activate (conditional practice).

 Activate text.

 Now all I had to do was wait for the poisonous rabbit to come by.

 I had just eaten lunch and was feeling sleepy.

 The sunshine coming through the trees was comforting.

 The text would continue to work while I slept, so I would be safe even in a forest with poisonous rabbits.

Well, this is going to be fun.

 And with that, Artoo closed his eyelids in the middle of the dangerous forest.

 †.

 In the end, Artoo slept for about an hour.

 When he opened his eyelids and checked his surroundings to see what it was like - there was an unexpected result.

"Oh! They're knocking it down like crazy!

 Even though he was just sleeping, there were about ten poisonous rabbits lying around.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'll be able to get all sorts of bites out of this.

 You don't have to be conscious, so you can work while you sleep.

 I'm sure you'll be able to do some work while you sleep because you don't have to be conscious.

I'm sure you'll agree. If we can keep the appraisal spell running automatically and notify us when we find herbs, we can make great progress in gathering.

 Gathering is a chore, but it's a time-consuming job because you have to use appraisal magic and check the results every time you want to proceed.

 In the past, auto-magic would trigger the appraisal spell automatically, but you had to check the result.

 But now that I've learned the conditional branching, I can make it so that it only notifies me automatically when I find the herb I'm looking for, and I can proceed with the collection at high speed.

 And while walking around, I should be able to kill some rabbits as well.

I'm sure you can figure out how to do that.

 †.

 Then Artoo continued to explore the forest until dusk.

 The result.

I never thought I'd get so many.

 You can find a lot of useful medicinal herbs at the same time as hunting rabbits as usual.

 I hit the appraise spell repeatedly, and it would only let me know when it hit, so I was able to collect them with super efficiency.

 As a result, I was able to hunt more herbs than I could fit in the basket I brought with me, as well as more than fifty rabbits.

... This is going to make us a lot of money.

 Artoo returned to the city with a smile on his face.

 He went to the guild where he had received the quest to exterminate the poisonous rabbits to report his findings.

"What, this much?

 The receptionist's eyes widened when she saw the bag full of poisonous stones that Artoo presented to her.

The woman at the reception desk's eyes widened.

No, I took it today. No, I took it today. My skills are up and I'm working hard today.

But then again, ... so much? I've never heard of such an extermination in one day.

 The woman at the reception desk looked quite surprised, but that wasn't Alto's only achievement.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. I have quite a few.

 He put the basket he was carrying on his back on the counter.

"What? You've collected medicinal herbs today?

Yes, well.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I had to cast appraise magic 10 times to find this mares grass even if it was nearby.

No, it's just a coincidence. ...

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

What do you mean by "accidentally" ...?

 The woman was amazed all the way through and appraised the large amount of medicinal herbs.

 As a result, Artoo was able to earn several days' worth of money from the guild in just one day.

Shouldn't you quit the guild and make collecting your main business?

 That's what my sister said to me.

"Haha. Gathering is also quite fun, so it's possible.
