'What is this feeling?'

Even after the song ended, Sirone remained in her seat, unable to calm her pounding heart.



"uh? Sirone!"

Maya, who noticed it belatedly, welcomed him with a bright smile.

"come in. What are you doing here?"



"I thought I'd wash up a bit. I came because I heard the music."

Sirone held up her toothbrush to get rid of the suspicion of spying.

Either way, Maya moved her butt off the piano chair and suggested a seat.

"Sit here. there are no chairs Oh, if you're busy… … ."

Since it was Sirone who was struggling to the death with the strong players in the senior class, I thought that there would be no time for leisurely chatting.

"no it's okay. I had nowhere to go anyway."



The piano chair was small and Maya had some flesh. As their arms touched each other, a sense of unfamiliarity was transmitted through their skin. Her skin was soft and a bit on the cold side.

The awkward Sirone spoke first.

"Ahaha, you sing so well, why didn't you talk? I don't know much about music, but I think I do much better than a pro."



Seeing sadness in Maya's eyes, Sirone realized her mistake. Even though he has such great skills, if he is not a professional, there is no choice but to have a story.

"Oh sorry. If something hurts… … ."

Maya smiled and shook her head. Seriously, I couldn't stand Sirone's seriousness. So she was even more upset.



'It's been like that since the beginning.'

On the presentation day of the Supernatural Psychic Research Conference, Maya first saw Sirone speaking on the roof.

prove the invisible



The situation at the time that convinced all the students was shocking to her. She was the brightest star in school.

"sing… … Shall I call you?"

"huh. I want to hear it."

When Maya put her hands on the keyboard and started singing, Sirone immediately fell into her music.

I thought it was just a sound. But she had the power to move people's hearts with her voice.

'ah… … I see.'



To sing only for the happiness of the listener, forgetting about graduation from magic school, the circumstances of the tribe, and the poverty of the family.

At this moment, he wasn't a wizard.

Maya was an artist.



After the celestial song ended, the afterword flowed. Sirone couldn't even exhale until the note disappeared soundlessly.

A moan escaped from between his trembling lips.

"Haaaaaa."



diva. The goddess was in front of me.

Sirone could not resist Maya's eyes looking at her with a passionate gaze. Fire penetrated into my heart. She seemed like she could take anything she gave.

"… … ."



The sunset was setting outside the window.

* * *

The 8th week's main skill enhancement time is back.

It was an intense competition to gain an upper hand in the ranking competition because the distribution of scores was autonomous as it evaluates the achievement of 20 items related to the major.

Students report challenges prior to the assessment. For example, if you challenge three items to level 7 and do not reach them, you will not be awarded points for that week.

Therefore, if you need even 1 point, it is better to choose an appropriate difficulty level, and on the contrary, if you need a high score, it is better to increase the difficulty level even if you risk an adventure.

Sirone was sitting side by side with her friends and watching the evaluation of other students' major skills.

The reason why the analysis's eyes are sharper than usual is that after tomorrow, the scrimmer and the high ground occupation confrontation will be held.

The Sirone team has already been decided, but the members of the Screamer team have not yet been confirmed. Therefore, it was good to analyze the majors of as many people as possible today.

The difference between the main skill enhancement evaluation and other events is that actual magic is cast instead of 2,000 times.

Various devices were equipped in each area, and the impact force test in particular was similar to the marbles in the maze seen in the Kergo ruins.

After 7 people finished the evaluation, it was Fishaw's turn. The evaluation teacher checked the evaluation paper and looked up.



"Fisho, what is the challenge?"

"I will challenge three items. Eruption, gigantism, mutation. The difficulty levels are 5, 6, and 5, respectively."

Twenty-five years old, the oldest in his senior year, Fisho.

Although he doesn't stand out in the evaluation, his Insect magic makes Sirone excited every time he sees it.

"Fisho has gone up one notch from last week. It's only been 8 weeks, but you're entering the intermediate level, right?"

"You are twenty-five. You should consider that you have polished your major for at least 5 years more than others. I'll probably pass easily this time too."

"At this point, Sirone, there is something you must know."

Nade said with a serious look.

"That guy, Fisho, is the president of the Ant Language Research Society."



"Ant language study group? Is there such a thing?"

"It's a research society that works in the shadows like us. They want to have an audience with the queen ant by analyzing the ant's pheromone language. Perhaps they are thinking of making a diplomatic agreement."

After thinking for a moment, Sirone asked.



"But why should I know that?"

"you idiot! If they make a pact with the queen ant, they'll hit the supernatural psychic research group. It's not a matter of subsuming a few ants. All the ants under the queen's control will become enemies!"

Sirone moved her lips to say something, but eventually turned her head away without saying anything.

Iruki continued.

"Insect is the most maniac category among majors. It's good to watch while we can."

"Is it similar to summoning magic?"

"no. A boss imitates a specific target so perfectly that it is close to the real thing. Of course, insects are also possible, but you can't implement hundreds of species of insects that way."

"Then how do you do the fisho?"

Iruki referred to the explanation he had heard from his father.

"The core battery of the insert series is the egg. An aggregate of undifferentiated functions that can evolve into various forms. They say that it induces spontaneous generation with the theory of 'ecosystem in the head', but they say that this is really insanely difficult. Because we have to calculate from occurrence to evolution and mutation."



"Hmm, that must be really difficult."

"So there are many scholars in the Insect field. But once you become a wizard, you get treated very well. Ficho will be in his senior year by the time he is twenty-five, but graduating now is absolutely no loss."

When Fisho signaled that he was ready, the assessment teacher presented a challenge.

"First of all, eruption. The fifth level is three hundred."

Fisho tuned the battery with the ecological theory in his head. Once the food chain and predators were established, the eggs began to differentiate into the most suitable population for survival.

"Grasshopper."



A swarm of 300 locusts flew up from Fisho's feet and flew through the clouds like dark particles.

The teacher wrote three hundred and twelve on the record sheet. It was not difficult to count insects through synesthesia.

"It is 1 point for passing the 5th stage. Next is gigantism."

Ficho closed his eyes again and concentrated.

It took approximately 5 minutes to differentiate the egg by increasing the oxygen saturation and adjusting the surrounding environment.

An ant as huge as a person was born and moved its antennae in all directions to examine the surroundings.

Both female students and male students frowned as if they were terrible. So Fisho is a loner.

"Body surface area 2.02 square meters. passing gigantic. 1 point earned Next, mutation."

This time, it took a whopping 20 minutes to build the battery. As such, the results were shocking.

A centipede with the protective coloration of a ladybug crawled on the floor. The scythe-like jaws opened, and the deadly venom shot all the way.

"One type of shape change. 1 function change. Passed."

"thank you."



It was an amazing demonstration and a shocking sight, but the students just wished they would never see it again.

That's how Fisho's main skill was strengthened, and Maya walked out in the next turn.

Nade made a horn and shouted.



"Maya, fighting!"

Maya just smiled and scratched her cheek and went into the evaluation room without showing any reaction.

"huh? Why are you like that? Is something bad happening?"

Embarrassed Nade licked his lips.

But now that I see it, Sirone's facial expression doesn't look particularly good either.

"what? What happened to you two?"

There was no way to know that it was Sirone.

After the incident in the music room, Maya deliberately distanced herself. He didn't treat her coldly, but he didn't feel as friendly as before.

said Iruki.

"Maybe we were too rude."

"What are you talking about? What did we do to Maya?"

"Even if she was insulted by the screamer, she should have made the choice. Because there are people she doesn't want to fight with."

Nade suddenly recalled the situation at the time. He was relieved when he shouted to bring Maya to fight, but thinking about it again, he clearly crossed the line.

"Uh, so what? I made a loud noise. No, shouldn't we apologize and make things happen that didn't happen?"

"Maya doesn't get mad about that. And I'm not angry about that."

Sirone said bluntly.

According to Iruki, the feeling should have already arrived when we met in the music room. But she was more affectionate than anyone else, and sang her songs with all her heart.

'But why are you avoiding it? why?'

Maya's evaluation ended quickly. All three categories of vocal volume, sound vibration, and sound remained at the second stage, and they did not pass even that.

"None of the sonic magics are below average. After that, it will be impossible to graduate this year."

Ned cried at Iruki's words.

"Shouldn't graduation be the problem, should we be worried about the entire evaluation right now? You said that you can get a high score even if you have Maya as a team member. Wasn't there some kind of strategy?"

"No, I just spit it out as it came out. You can't say good things to the screamers there, can you?"

"what? you then… … !"

"Don't make a fuss. Just because I didn't think about it doesn't mean there isn't a solution. That's it, you can think about it from now on. Anyway, maybe the reason why Maya is like that is because of her grades. Even I can see it doesn't go well with sound magic."

"Maybe it's the other way around."

Iruki looked back at Shirone.



"What have you been talking about since before? You two, what really happened?"

Sirone told the story of what happened in the music room. Maya's incredible singing ability and the thrill running down her spine.

"Hmm, popular song. Definitely a different area. Because sound magic borrows vocal music to maximize the function of the voice."

Iruki's head turned quickly. I thought that maybe it could be a major variable in the occupation of this highland.

Next in Maya's turn was Fermi. Heading to the training ground, he glanced back at Sirone and laughed.

Fermi's major is Air, and the main skill enhancement score is exactly 100 points. All items were cleared 5 levels.

Similar to the average speed of Class One, it seems that there is no chance of falling into Class Two even now.

The evaluation teacher changed the evaluation paper and asked.

"Fermi, what is the challenge?"

Fermi said with a smile.

"I will master it."

The evaluation teacher stopped trying to record and raised his head. The students also started whispering.

Last year, he mastered all of his special skill enhancements, so it wasn't unusual, but the timing was too early.

Considering that they usually started to pick up speed after the 12th week, it was a whopping 4 weeks fast pace.

'It must have been influenced by Sirone's existence.'

After defeating Fermi in the survival test and even declaring war, it was a strategy to use this opportunity to dampen spirits again.

"good night. Let's measure from the first press item."

Fermi held out his index and middle fingers and pointed at the impact-measuring device.

The air was compressed at the fingertips, and the air gun fired with a bang.

The eyes of the students turned to the billboard beyond the glass marbles.

1,123 press.

It was a figure that easily passed the master difficulty of 1,000 presses.

—

Sirone was not impressed. In the old days, he would have at least clapped, but it didn't compare to Gaold's air gun.

Fermi conquered the master difficulty step by step. Finally, applause erupted when the 10th stage of the fly aerobatics, a movement item, was completed.

It was an acrobatics that was impossible without mastering the basics of the two types of press and blow.



"Fermi, you are the all master. That's 100 points."

It was the moment Fermi regained the top spot in the senior class again.

"Surely great."

It was rare for Iruki to acknowledge someone.

This time, even Sirone had no excuse to refute. It was none other than the All Master.

"I know. I think the fundamentals are very solid."



"No, that's not what I mean. Even last year, Fermi was an all-master. It's just that the majors are different."

Sirone's head turned quickly.

"You said your major was different?"



"okay. Registered Earth Magic. The year before last, I mastered all with fire magic."

Is it really possible? It's not enough to change your major every year, so it's not enough to do all masters.

A high-ranking wizard would be able to use a student-level difficulty, but it was a nonsensical comparison. Fermi was a student.



Sirone stared blankly at Fermi. As he pretended to slit his throat with his thumb, his emotions from his survival assessment came back up.

Fermi made the all-master and became the undisputed number one.

It was such an event that even the students who had weighed Sirone and Fermi had to tip their weights.



'Even if you regret it, it's too late, kid. I won't let you graduate until you lick my shoes.'

Seeing the anger in Fermi's eyes, Sirone stood up. Then he told his friends and headed to the training ground.

"Iruki, Nade. I will go up first."

Nade and Iruki looked back at each other. As they train together every day, they know that Sirone is not yet ready to challenge for All Masters.

"What are you going to do? It's a fight that won't gain anything from a head-to-head confrontation. It will only be a power exposure. No, if you fail at all, you will be completely trampled on."

"What are you thinking? Let's trust Sirone for now."



The eyes of the students were focused on Sirone.

Amy and Arin turned their heads while talking, and Canis' eyes lit up.

Dante, who was sitting on the ground, rested his chin and watched.



'Fermi did an all-master. How are you going to respond?'

The evaluation teacher held up the evaluation sheet and asked.

"Sirone, your specialty is God Particles. What is the challenge?"



"7 levels of power, 8 levels of projectile speed, 7 levels of projectile speed, 7 levels of defense… … ."

Sirone, like Fermi, lined up the items.

Until the 7th week, Syrone's main skill evaluation level averaged 3.6 levels. Therefore, the stage he is currently reciting was more than twice that.



"Finally, movement control, 10 steps."

The teacher's eyes lit up.

Level 10 is Master Difficulty. Furthermore, the standard value of the particle movement control item of God was much higher than that of the photon series.

It seemed clear that Fermi's All Masters had influenced Sirone's judgment.

However, it was also true that there were insufficient parts to compare with Fermi to this extent.

In fact, only seven items were selected by Sirone, and the difficulty level was between 7 and 8, excluding the movement.

"what? If you're going to do it, don't you say it, right?"

"You are cheating. To some extent, other students will also have a conflict between Fermi and Sirone."

"Then it is a great misunderstanding. That level couldn't hurt Fermi even as much as a fingernail. A typical mistake of the first year. After all, what can a freshman do?"

Class Two was the majority opinion.

Dante suspends judgment and thinks. He blinked quickly and the corners of his mouth went up as he counted.

'Hmm, that way… … .'



Meanwhile, Fermi and his party, watching from the hill, were already convinced of victory.

"Keukke, is this the final push? Doesn't it look cute like this? Isn't that right, Fermi?"

The Electric Monster Lichen turned to Fermi.

Fermi was laughing. But Lichen, who had been with him for years, knew that the smile he showed when he was most pissed off.

'That damn bastard… … .'

Sirone's first evaluation was a single attribute power item.

Although it does not exist in the photon series, it was newly established based on the fact that God's particles are based on mass.

When I closed my eyes and focused my mind, a sphere of light was born and compressed at a terrifying speed as if pushing space.

As the eyes of the students watching the suppressed vibrations turned golden, the photon cannon fired with a roar.



The flash of light embedded in the glass beads spread out as fragments of light, and the numbers on the instrument panel rotated to calculate power.

2,242 crashes.

It was a figure that far exceeded 1,800 crashes, which is the 7th level of single attribute power.



After checking the score, Sirone looked back at Fermi, and the students realized something and began to hum.

When converted to units of energy, 2,242 crashes are approximately 8,200 presses.

In other words, the destructive force that comes out when the atmosphere is compressed with 8,200 presses is 2,240 crashes.

This is 7.3 times higher than Fermi, who recorded 1,123 presses, revealing the power of God's particles.

Sirone's evaluation continued.

In the projectile velocity category, the speed of the photon cannon was 100 meters per second, which was also a result that far exceeded Fermi's projectile velocity category.

Puff pup pup pup pup!

Sirone fired a photon cannon at a target in front of her at blazing speed.

Even in broad daylight, the surroundings were sparkling, and the eyes of the students were filled with afterimages of golden lines.

"165 rounds per minute. It is a 7th level pass."



The standard for Fermi's rate of fire rate master is 160 rounds per minute.

Having already overpowered Fermi in three items, the students now understood Sirone's intentions.

"I see. Sirone that guy… … ."

The seven items that Sirone presented as challenges were common to the Air series as well.

"It's surpassing all of Fermi's criteria."

When the students turned to Fermi, he was looking at Sirone with his palms covering his face.



It was a fact that only his colleagues knew that his eyes were burning with murderous intent.

Sirone did not do all masters.

But even so, he scores higher in the same category than Fermi, who did All Masters.

Students felt the same way. Air-type magic can be overpowered at the 7th level of God Particles.

"That bastard child… … ."

Fermi's colleagues were startled. It was the first time his feelings had been shown so blatantly.

Feeling the eyes of countless students, Fermi finally lowered his hand and smiled.

'Oops, businessman smiles. The businessman smiles.'

Entrepreneurs need to be relaxed. Even if a debt is strangling you and you are on the verge of getting a knife stabbed in your back, as long as you have confidence, a way out is a business.

Of course, the crisis is real. In fact, the students were cutting Fermi's earnings expectations in half and giving them to Sirone.

The Air series is at the 7th level of God Particles. The strategy to increase stock prices by comparing numbers with Fermi worked well.

"As expected, Sirone hyung is amazing."



Eider approached behind Iruki. His major was also Air, so it was only natural that he felt bitter.

"It is different from talent. How do you beat someone like that?"

"Talent?"



"It is. The advantage of the photon system is that it has no mass. But Shirone hyung can even give it mass. That no one can beat."

Sirone's magical talent was acknowledged by Iruki as well. But I didn't think I'd come this far just for that reason.

Talent is just a tool. The speed of a person digging with bare hands and a person digging with a shovel is inevitably different.

If the land is magic, the shovel is a talent.

However, no matter how much he holds the shovel, he never digs the ground unless he uses his arms, waist, and legs.

That's why even a moment of realization is just an explosion of the accumulation of daily training.

Sirone has been working hard day by day and breaking through the limits every day. Even if it's not right now, in the end, it gathers and achieves the result.

All success in the world begins with knowing that the future will surely come.

"I don't think anyone is born with bare hands."

"yes?"

Eider looked down at Iruki.

"Some are born with a shovel, some with a hammer, and some with a pen. He who has a shovel digs faster, but he cannot write well with it. Talent is not something given, it is something you discover and develop yourself. The Air series has something that only it can do. If you can't find it, don't take it easy for someone else to find it. Talent is also hard work."



Eider chewed those words in his mind. Although he said it because he was displeased with the disparagement of Sirone's efforts, it was a piece of advice worth more than gold to him.

"yes. Thank you, Iruki."

Iruki raised his eyebrows and then lowered them. The way he wasn't displeased and was rather grateful was really like the youngest. He was the reason Eider had no enemies.



"Finally, movement control. Master difficulty. The response time is less than 0.8 seconds."

Sirone took a deep breath and cleared his mind. He went all out on the six items, and he felt dizzy for a moment, but it was nothing compared to his practical experience so far.

The evaluation teacher activated the red line certified evaluation magic, navigation.

A small sphere was born, inside which the arrow pointing in the direction was spinning like a compass that had lost its polarity.

Movement control is an item that accurately implements the movement suggested by the navigation system.

The shape, length and color of the arrow indicate direction, distance and speed, respectively, and the wizard must do it within the reaction time.

God's particle master difficulty is 0.8 seconds reaction speed. It was 0.2 seconds shorter than the photon series master difficulty of 1 second.

At the nerve level, 0.2 seconds is an enormous gap.

Nevertheless, the reason why the association set the standard is that it believes that rapid acceleration and sudden stop using mass will be possible.

"Reaction time of 0.8 seconds?"

The students looked puzzled.

Of course, the photon-type magicians differentiate time and build a series of processes in advance. Patrol, rainbow drop, etc. are applications from there.



However, movement control was not an item that moved as it came out of my head.

The navigation will suggest a completely different direction, speed, and distance than expected, and the wizard must react immediately.

In such a situation, it felt too cruel to have a reaction speed of 0.8 seconds.

'No, the association's judgment is correct.'

Sirone recalled Collie's teachings. After all, it is a standard because someone is doing it.

I heard the other day that the response speed of Etela's movement control was 0.1 second, which is called superhuman.

When you reach such a state, you can cover an area densely covered with trees simply by teleporting. Also, I heard that you can evade an attack just by weaving the upper body by feeding back the instantaneous movement in place.

Of course, Sirone, a student, cannot be comforted by the fact that a famous monk on the continent can do it.

However, the idea of ​​the association was well understood.

Do not judge God Particles by the standard of the photon series.

It was an ability unique to Sirone that no one else had.

'I conquer with my skill.'

A light rose from Sirone's body like fire. The flames, which gradually grew in size, became a pair of giant wings and burned.

"I-what is that?"

The students widened their eyes. It was a magic I had never seen or heard of before.
