The forest of the World Tree was one of the spaces with the highest concentration of magical energy on all continents.

There could be many reasons for this, but the biggest reason was that the World Tree, a demigod, resided there.

Since it maintains its natural state almost intact, there was almost no loss of natural magic, and it was also the home of magic flowers that can only grow in an environment without artificial magic.

That’s why, no matter where you go in the forest of the World Tree, mages can feel magic more easily than air.

In the case of the magic flower field with the highest concentration of magic power, the concentration of magic power was as thick as that of the academy’s Ministry of Magic training ground.

It was even more valuable in that it was a space where only pure natural magic, not mixed with artificial magic, was gathered.

In other words, just by staying in the forest of the world tree, one of the two most necessary things to raise the magic circle, ‘environment’, was prepared.

And ‘material’, one of the other essential elements, is also in my hands right now.

The world tree paper is still stiff because it was just dried yesterday.

With this, all the conditions for the release of the next stage of the magic circle were met.

Currently, my level of pure magic circle is 4th circle.

It was possible to increase the power to the 5th circle by using a staff with the eyes of the spirit, but with this level of ability, victory was not guaranteed even against the highest rank apostles, let alone the Demon God Cardia.

It’s just that the 5th circle is not common at the academy student level, but even if you go up to the level of a professor in the Ministry of Magic right now, about half of them are 5th circle wizards.

If he had risen to the level of Principal Russell, he would have been in the 8th circle.

For your reference, it meant that the magic circle that was purely liberated was 8th level, not the ability correction through the eyes of the spirit like me.

No matter how much I said that I had the advantage of freely using multi-attribute magic, the variety of attributes was only a bright apricot because the basic power of magic itself was lacking.

Even if water magic was compatible with fire magic, the 8th circle flame burst could not be blocked by the 5th circle tidal wave.

It was necessary to be able to narrow the gap with the opponent by at least one step in order to gain an advantage in the match fight.

In order to become a member of the demon subjugation team that will be formed later, you must have reached the level of a 7th-circle wizard, if not by then.

So, for today, I asked for the understanding of other residents and gave them a firm word so that no one approached this magic flower field.

Because I had to put as many magic circles as I could before leaving the forest of the world tree.

Even if you can’t do it, at least 5 circles, and if possible, up to 6 circles.

Hesitating to start any longer was a waste of time, so he immediately drew the formula for magic synthesis in the air one after another.

A total of 25 magic formulas are needed to break through the walls of Circle 5.

As I said before, the magic formula needed to liberate the Circle burst as soon as the ninth magic was chained, unable to withstand the instability.

Therefore, what was needed was materials that could temporarily fix magic, such as giant boa poison or world tree paper.

When he used the giant boa’s venom gland to free the 4th circle, he had to use the once-only opportunity carefully.

This time, the paper of the world tree was also made enough, so there was no need to worry about making a mistake once or twice.

Of course, this is not a declaration that we will make a mistake, it is just a story that means that there is a difference in psychological stability.

Just like the previous 4-circle magic synthesis, he created eight levels of synthesis magic in the air.

However, this time, instead of paralyzing the eighth synthesis magic with venom, the method of using the method of transcribing the ninth magic formula onto the world tree paper was the best.

The paper filled with the magic of the World Tree had the effect of temporarily suppressing the activation of magic.

In particular, in the case of Giant Boa’s poison, it was necessary to fix the magic after making it, so in order not to break the chain, there was the hassle of having to fix the 8th magic after using the 8th formula.

In the case of world tree paper, the ninth magic had to be transferred to the paper from the beginning, so the efficiency was slightly better than other methods.

The difference in this one magic might not feel as big as I thought, but there was a 1.5 times difference only in the materials needed to grow into the 5th circle right away.

The giant boa’s venom gland and world tree paper weren’t worth a dime or two, and they weren’t things you could get just because you wanted to in the first place.

On the back of the world tree paper where the magic was transferred, another eight magic formulas were drawn.

After making the magic warrior again on the world tree paper, the last seven magic formulas were unfolded behind it.

8+1+8+1+7. A total of 25 synthesis magics stopped right before they were activated.

Now, only the last step remained.

As soon as the small flame embers created by the fingertips were attached to the two pieces of World Tree paper at the same time, the World Tree paper with the existing magic formula written on it instantly turned to ashes and disappeared.

After the paper of the World Tree was burned, only the magic formula that did not disappear with fire remained in the air.

At the same time, chain magic consisting of 25 stages began to explode one after another.

Fire, water, wind, light, and five magical powers each woven in the order of vision flowed into my body in sequence.

I felt it when I raised my magic circle to the 5th magic circle in my previous life.

Personally, I liked the feeling the most when I ascended from the 4th circle to the 5th circle.

It was because there was only one section from the 4th circle to the 5th circle mage who used the five attribute magics completely evenly and raised the circle level.

In my previous life, the stage I reached was the last stage of the 9th circle, so I have never actually experienced another section that felt similar to this.

If you want to feel similar pleasure next time, you will have to reach at least 10 circles.

In my previous life, I thought it was impossible, but at this point, I think it’s possible.

The reason is, of course, that I will continue to study magic even after defeating the demon god Cardia.

If only Cardia was subdued, his busy life would be a little more relaxed, so it would be possible enough if he spent the rest of his life leisurely studying magic.

The Perdalos family should have told Delphina to succeed them.

“after.”

As I was enduring time while thinking about this and that, before I knew it, I felt that the magical energy flowing through my body had stabilized.

The level that the 5th circle mage in the previous life reached only after graduation.

It was also a stage he had barely reached while hunting with Lulu day and night to find the materials needed to raise the circle level.

Compared to the salty memories of the past, there was a feeling that it was relatively easy now.

Memories were beautiful because they were memories, and I didn’t mean that I wanted to go through that hardship again.

“Shall we take it one step further?”

As usual, I would only raise it to Circle 5 today and try again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to reach Circle 6.

Is it because of the environment or because of confidence? Even now, right after I reached the 5th circle, I felt that my physical condition was not bad.

The Horn Bore’s horns were also thinned out, so it would be much better to leave it at the end while the seat was already created.

There was no particular difference between the materials needed to reach the 5th circle and the materials needed to reach the 6th circle.

It only took two more World Tree papers to go up to Circle 6.

Since it was a product that had been made a lot with the assumption of spare time from the beginning, there was enough left to try it at least three or four times.

With the location, stamina, and materials ready, it was clear what I had to do next.

After preparing four pieces of world tree paper in advance, he immediately wrote down the first magic formula in the air.

In order to reach the stage of the 6th circle, experienced for the first time in this life.

* * *

The morning of the day I made a promise to senior Xian and promised to return to the academy.

Arriving at the venue a little earlier than the scheduled time, I said goodbye to the villagers before Xian-senpai.

“Will you come again next time, wise man?”

“Please accept this too, Sage.”

“Sage, I will not forget!”

The title of wise man, which had already been irrevocably ripe for the elves, was eventually unable to be corrected until the day he left the forest.

Besides, I wonder if the elves wanted to give me something more to put into my departing hands in return for saving the world tree.

Vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms that I grew myself in the forest were endlessly put into my hands.

Even though I received the minimum amount that did not interfere with the movement, the increased amount of luggage increased considerably.

Even after I go back to the academy, I will only eat salad and vegetable stew for a while.

I ate so much that I got bitten, but there was nothing wrong with eating a lot because it was a food ingredient that was born and raised in the forest of the World Tree.

In the first place, there was a period of advancing while eating only similar food for half a year during the drank punitive force.

My tongue was not weak enough to complain that I had eaten similar food for only a month or two.

By the time the greetings with the elves were almost over.

This time, Mr. Dryad, who had approached from the side of the World Tree, came forward.

“You’re leaving now, wise man.”

“Yes, it is time to go back.”

“It’s a short period, but thanks to the wise man, I had a good time.”

“I am more honored to hear that Mr. Dryad was delighted to hear my story.”

In the end, thanks to her who read the storyteller’s epic story by my side until the day before I left, my magical power sensitivity has grown considerably more than before.

For that, I thanked her inwardly.

Oh right.

A story that I almost forgot about suddenly came to mind when I saw Mr. Dryad’s face.

To ask her one last favor before leaving, I opened the bag I had locked and took out the bundle of World Tree papers inside.

Thinking just in case, I put dozens of pieces of World Tree paper in front of her.

“I almost forgot to tell you, but I’ll leave this to Mr. Dryad.”

“… This paper made with my body?”

“Yeah. There is nothing to write about outside.”

“What do you mean you have nothing to write about?”

As if he didn’t understand my words that he had nothing to write, Mr. Dryad asked with a questioning expression.

“Since I have already reached my goal of being a 6th circle mage, this is an item that should be put aside for a while until I am ready to reach the next level.

If you go out with a paper made of the World Tree to the outside world, there is a possibility that it will be passed on to somewhat rebellious beings, so I would like the owner of this paper, Mr. Dryad, to take care of it.”

“You say that means, in other words, that you never intended to sell this paper made with my body anywhere.”

“The reason I made the world tree paper was because I really needed it. I am not poor enough to earn gold coins by selling these important things.”

Mr. Dryad had a look on his face as if he heard me and understood.

To be precise, the World Tree paper was going to be needed a few more times in the future.

It’s just that I have no intention of letting go of the world tree paper, which I don’t know when I’ll get it again.

And if at least one person involved in the Dark Church gets this paper in their hands, it could also cause trouble.

It meant that I would leave it in the safest place while I remembered it.

There are only a handful of idiots who attack the World Tree to get paper made from it.

“The meaning of entrusting this paper is that you will visit this forest again the next time you need it, right?”

“Perhaps it will.”

“I know. I will treasure this paper I made with my body. Waiting for the time when the wise man misses the touch of my skin.”

“Please refrain from misleading expressions.”

It was a pity that the other elves backed away so that Mr. Dryad and I could talk.

It was a good choice of words to raise strange enough questions if it went into someone else’s ears.

“I’ll be waiting for the day when the wise man visits the forest again.”

Having said that, Mr. Dryad took the World Tree paper from me and returned to the area near the World Tree where she was.

It was right after that that Xian-senpai appeared in the crowd of elves.

“You kept me waiting, junior Konrad.”

Senior Xian arrived at the meeting place with quite a lot of things he needed to return to the academy.

Although there was one foreign object among them that obviously did not suit her.

“Senior Xian, what is that staff?”

“Well, what do you think it is?”

“Are you planning on learning magic as a double major?”

“… Could it possibly be?”

As far as the academy has many assignments, the archery department and the magic department are among the top three, but no sane person would attempt a double major in those two departments.

Senior Xian smiled once at my stupid question, then held out both hands and handed me a long wooden staff.

“It’s a gift, Junior Conrad.”

“Is it mine?”

“I had a bit of trouble shaving it into a form that wouldn’t damage the flow of magic power. I hope you accept it because the performance will be certain.”

When I accepted the wooden staff I received from her, I could definitely feel the flow of magic power that was different from the staffs I had used so far.

With this mystical sensation that the whole tree seemed to be made of magical power, I was able to immediately figure out what material this staff was made of.

“Senior Xian also said that he needed the material for the World Tree.

“I just wanted to give a gift that I can give to my juniors who are usually indebted to me. Anyway, I didn’t find the material for the World Tree, and at most I just carved it into a shape.”

“No, it was something I really needed. Thank you, Senior Xian.”

“Yes, please use it carefully.”

Magical power sensitivity training, level growth up to Circle 6, and a staff made from the World Tree.

It was a summer of quite a lot of hardships, but it was also a summer of gaining a lot.

“Comrade Conrad, let’s join hands.”

In front of the forest exit of the World Tree, which is the boundary between the village and the forest, Xian held out his hand to me first.

Was it to keep from getting lost in the forest?

After fixing the cane she gave me with my other hand, without hesitation, I overlapped Xian’s hand with mine.

“… … .”

I tried to ignore Elder Aldor’s stinging gaze from behind my back, and moved with senior Xian outside the forest of the World Tree.

It was time to go back to the academy after the summer vacation that felt particularly long.
