Chapter 93

Well, what should I demonstrate? If I were to talk about useful original magic, it would probably be the flight magic. However, I used it when I came to the Holy Capital, so Gem should be aware of it.

In that case, his confidence wouldn't be shaken by just flight magic.

"...By the way, you mentioned something about fire magic, didn't you?"

I muttered and pointed my hand in Gem's direction.

"W-What! What are you planning to do!? Let me tell you, I can cast advanced magic in three beats! Don't think you can win by challenging me to a fight!"

Gem, holding his staff, started saying this. I didn't intend to fight, but it's true that he would be able to feel the magic more directly this way.

Well, let's start by demonstrating the magic and see how it goes. I'll use one of the strongest magics I have.

I concentrated my magic power at my fingertips and formed a hand knife with my five fingers aligned. I poured most of my available magic power into my fingertips and gradually extended it forward. When the magic power was sufficiently gathered, I opened my mouth.

"Divine Flame Spear"

The moment I whispered, a bluish-white flame appeared at my fingertips. My arm from the elbow down was enveloped in flames, and in an instant, the flame spear extended right next to Gem.

The flame spear, which seemed to be made of stone, melted the surroundings like glass melting at high temperatures. I set the temperature to about 1,500 degrees Celsius at the center, so it should be able to melt stone with almost no resistance.

"Ah, aah!?"

Gem rolled away from the stairs, so I lightly moved the flame spear in that direction. The stone stairs melted and were cut off as a result.

"N-No...!?"

Diazio, who was on the stairs, showed a panicked look, so I quickly adjusted the length of the flame spear. It seems I had melted about a third of the stairs, causing the upper part to tilt.

"W-What is that magic...!?"

Gem shouted with a pale face. The hall was in an uproar, and some were even pointing swords at me.

"It's an original fire magic. I practiced on a red-scaled dragon living in a volcano, which is resistant to fire magic, and strengthened my fire magic until I could defeat it. For now, it can easily cut through iron, mithril, and orichalcum."

When I said this, Gem spat and shouted in anger.

"N-No way! A red-scaled dragon living in a volcano is one of the highest-level fire dragons! There's no way a magician could defeat it alone! And orichalcum!? It's a treasure of the royal family, as valuable as a divine metal! There's no way a girl like you could get your hands on it!"

Seeing Gem lose his composure in anger, Rose stepped forward with a look as if she had found something interesting.

"...Seeing how you effortlessly cut and melted the stone stairs, I can't entirely dismiss it as a lie. One of the treasures of the Maple Leaf Holy Empire is an orichalcum dagger, which His Majesty possesses, right?"

Rose said this with a somewhat delighted expression and looked at Diazio, who was on the stairs.

"H-Hold on. I can't allow you to use this dagger. It's one of the most important treasures of the Holy Empire. I can't permit it to be used for a test cut."

Diazio hastily put his hand on his waist, apparently always carrying it. Seeing Diazio protect himself on the tilted stairs, I remembered that I had partially destroyed the audience hall.

In the middle of the conversation, I decided to repair it first.

"Stonecraft"

I muttered and cast the stone magic. I solidified and reshaped the stairs that had melted and changed form. It took about ten seconds to return to its original shape. It should be twice as sturdy now, so I hope they will forgive me for that.

"...Was that... a non-verbal incantation?"

As I was checking the stairs, Gem said this in astonishment.

Then, Balbrea, who had come to the audience hall, opened his mouth in exasperation.

"What are you talking about now? It was the same earlier, wasn't it? Besides, if you had thoroughly investigated for two days, you should have known that Aoi can use magic without incantations. Are you pretending that all the inconvenient facts don't exist?"

When Balbrea said this, Gem turned around with wide eyes.

"No way... Non-verbal incantations are impossible. How could you...?"

Gem, unable to hide his agitation, was waved off by Balbrea with a snort.

"It's a new kind of magic you dislike. Acknowledging it means admitting defeat. Just keep a calm face and stay silent."

Balbrea said this dismissively, and Awoard sighed deeply.

"...Deputy Chief Magician Gem. Aoi has been using non-verbal incantations in the laboratory. According to the reports, it's in all attributes. Didn't you investigate?"

When Awoard pressed the point, Gem fell silent as if he had been choked.
