44-Episode 10: It'S Not Just An Raption
Mithril, also known as holy silver, is much stronger than iron or copper, and it is also more resistant to magic.
I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
''That's right. That doll is made of Mithril, which was custom made by the Yellow Academy, and has been used for entrance exams for many years now. But not a single candidate has yet to unleash a spell with the power to melt that thing.
The middle-aged examiner told me somewhat proudly.
''Kuh........it was Mithril.......''
The boy contorted his face in frustration, then
Well, well, if you say it's made of mithril, it doesn't help that it withstood my magic.
I muttered to myself to convince myself.
''Pupu, seriously, you're a hussy. You were so confident, you know!
Kite went out of his way to encourage him to do so.
''Hm........Hm......Then are you saying you can do it?''
"I can't do it, but Master can do it! Right, Master!
Why do you want me to point the finger at you there?
You provoked him, so why don't you take care of it?
After all, you just killed a troll king in the blink of an eye!
Kite says something even more superfluous.
'Kukukukukuk!'

Then the boy from The Mage burst out laughing.
'Hahahaha! There are limits to how far you can go with a spiral! Or is that just a plebeian joke, too? A troll king is a demon that our territory's knights will mobilize to defeat! You can't kill that in the blink of an eye...
It's not a lie, though.
"Hey, this is the time to laugh! Let him see it, Master, please!
At any rate, I punched the idiot who proceeded to talk on his own.
'So, next, exam number, number twelve.
I was soon to be next in line anyway.
The examiner called me to stand in place.
Because of Kite, you're getting a lot of attention from the other examiners and people who seem to be observers.......
''Hm? This is.....
The examiner, who looked down at my hand as if he was looking at the documents I had submitted, had a questionable look on his face.
Well.........
It's not that I have to destroy that doll just because Kite said so.
But I can throw my magic at Mithril anyway.
I'm going to try to be serious here.
I'm going to improvise and create a magic formula.
Of course, since I have no skills, there's no such thing as a convenient automatic assist for building a magic formula, so I'll have to build it all by myself from scratch.
Would the Explosions that defeated the Troll King be able to destroy that Mithril doll?
Perhaps it's a subtle place.
It's not a good match for that high-intensity, explosive magic.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
Instead, it would be better to use super-high heat to dissolve the doll.
The quickest way to do that is to simply increase the amount of magic power that you pour into it............................but this will take a while.
This test should also be looking at the time it takes to activate it, and it looks like we should not go in the direction of increasing the amount of magic power consumed.
"Irrationality.
I've arranged it quite a bit, but I'll say the name of the magic as the basic technique is the same as the boy before.
A moment later, the doll that is the target flared up sharply with a crack.
As soon as you think, the flames disappear.
''I didn't think that an 'unemployed' used magic...!
It was the examiner who was astonished.
On the other hand, a boy who looked like a nobleman roared a loud laugh.
''Hahahahaha! What was that? That's Irrational? It just glowed for a second! Instead of beating the Troll King, this is not even an entrance exam to fail! But it was a good comedy! I thought it was going to be a boring exam, but thanks to you, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would!
Hmm.
What in the world are you looking at, this boy?
Look at that. I destroyed the dummy.
...What are you talking about?
The boy turns his gaze to where the doll was.
''--? What? No! Hey, where the hell did you put that doll?
Where to do it or not, it would have melted and turned to liquid on the ground, right?
The doll had turned into a shimmering, silvery liquid on its pedestal.
It would harden again in time, but for now, it was still gurgling and boiling slightly.
'Bah, silly... it's Mithril...? There's no way they're going to dissolve in an irruption!
Because it's not just an irruption,
What?
I've focused the flames to the extent of covering the doll, and I've also squeezed the ignition time down.
Probably, as a localized power, it would have surpassed even Explosion.
Of course, there was a need to incorporate a magic formula for that, but as far as activation time goes, there shouldn't have been much difference between it and the explosion.
Well, it took a lot of hard work to be able to build a jutsu formula at this level of speed.
With the current jutsu, it probably took at least enough in the beginning.
Moreover, if he had to improvise and think about it like he does now, he would have needed more time.
''As expected of a master! It's too much! I never thought I'd melt mithril away!
Kite runs up to me.
'That should be a pass for now.
'Of course! I'll pass the test in a minute too, so just wait and see!
No, I'm not going to wait. I just want to go to the next test.
Huh?
