Miracle

　What?

　The nature of the dagger is “slashing”.

The nature of the Wand is “ejection”.

Those are reasonable. But.. balloons?

　It’s useless. I do not know.

I let my eyes wander in Rand’s direction.

He looks at me and shakes his head.

I may have qualms about murdering people but cheating in a class on a question that has inconsequential effects?

　Himari doesn’t even look at me.

　When I thought that I had no choice but to admit defeat…

I see Monica.

　She’s mouthing something.

　What are you saying? I understand that it’s two syllables…

　”Bomb.”

“… Bo… Mu”

　It seems I got it correct.

　……Bomb

” Correct answer. [Flames]”

　Garadoon releases the balloon. 

“Boom.”

The balloon explodes overhead, sending heat waves over head.

　A mere balloon can be transformed into a weapon with just a single chant.

　Even with the same flame magic, the effect changes so much depending on the target.

“Monica Sildis.”

“Yes!”

“Sweetness is weakness and self-preservation is strength. Think carefully about this difference.”

“Yes.”

　Garadoon did not miss Monica’s rescue.

“Then, you may begin practice.”

　A wooden wand is provided.

When I hold a wand like this, I can’t help but feel like a magician.

“[Flames]”

I recite the spell.

　As soon as I pour magic into the wand the tip explodes in an explosion of fire and smoke.

　Yeah, it looks like it failed.

“I truly am awful at magic.”

“Can you do it, Rand?”

“Of course.”

　When Rand poured magic into his wand, his made a popping sound and sparks flew from the end. 

　A failure.

“[Flames]”

　On the other hand, Himari’s flame attracts attention.

　The ball of flame emitted from the tip of the cane is as big as a human head, several tens of meters away a target, one of the dozen that were lined up, was in ashes.

“As expected, the young lady of the Lanfer family excels. Exceptional as expected.”

“I agree, I could do no worse.”

Himari is.. Himari.

　After injecting magic 5 times, the magic mark lost its light and disappeared.

　It’s a good opportunity to improve but..

　If the activation form of the technique changes depending on the weapon, the activation form should change if you use the baptism technique depending on if it’s a big sword and a wand. Baptism works only for an evil being. There is no problem even if it goes out of control.

“[Baptism]”

　The wand burned out and shriveled.

“Hey, Charles. That’s not the spell we’re supposed to do.’

I hate this moron.

　Rand laughs.

　Garadoon approaches me.

“Intriguing.”

　Garadoon smiles a sharktooth grin.

“Excuse me.”

Garadoon confiscates the wand.

　I wonder why it didn’t work. Is it not good to use the same chanting with a big sword and a wand? I’ve got to ask Vice-Principal Harman later.

　The second hour was over with half of the class unable to put out a flame.
