第１６８５堀：帰って大学の感想 (Part2)
Seraria is by no means unintelligent.
She is capable of using magic, but since she is the type who prefers to fight with a sword, it is perhaps more natural for her to think in terms of blades and armor.
It is a matter of having the raw materials to create a finished product.
Magic, on the other hand, involves reactions that occur in the unseen, which likely makes it difficult to grasp.
“……That is how I am summarizing things for now. In any case, there are other books, and I have left the analysis of those to Rurua.”
“I see. An interesting concept, though. If magical power truly changes through magic spells and formations, one could certainly call it a form of chemistry.”
“Indeed. That reaction is undoubtedly correct. However, how would you explain the activation of such changes without incantation?”
“As Yuki mentioned, the importance of imagery has always been a factor. Incantation-less casting is possible because the image is clear. In that sense, doesn’t that mean magic is, at its core, a manifestation of imagery?”
“True, as Zargis says. That would certainly explain why there are so many diverse forms of magic activation.”
And so, after Cleena mentioned leaving it to Rurua, Comet, Narjia, Zargis, and Kagura became completely engrossed in their discussion.
When people have the temperament of a researcher, their curiosity truly knows no bounds.
“Now then, Comet. You have a lot on your plate, but how is the preparation on your end?”
“Hm? Ah, for the university, you mean? I’ve already spoken with Nonoa, and we have a room prepared where the home appliances can function.”
“I see. And what about you, Riel and Deryu?”
“Yes, we are prepared as well. I heard from Tori and the others about the dodgeball matches.”
“Indeed. It is merely a refinement of what we are already doing. The equipment for the exercises is ready, and Zargis is currently checking the maintenance of those amusing gadgets.”
Ah, the ones that allow for a real-life battle royale.
It has become surprisingly popular in Weed, to the point where teams have even been formed.
Will it become a professional sport eventually?
Well, that is beside the point.
“And finally, Rushi. How is the medical side of things?”
“Yes. It is the same as in Zurable, so the preparations for the textbooks and materials are perfect.”
Rushi was efficient and sharp back in Zurable, so I have no worries there.
In fact, she seems best suited for a teaching role.
Well, she is a valuable assistant to me, so I won’t be suggesting a career change at this late stage.
“And what about you? How are you doing?”
Seraria turned her attention to me, asking about the state of my lesson preparations.
“I’m the same as Rushi and the others. The curriculum was decided back in Zurable, so there are no issues there.”
“I suspect people will be quite surprised when they hear your topics, though.”
As Seraria said that, Ratz and Kaya nodded in agreement, and then...
“……Come to think of it, Yuki. Should I go again this time?”
“Yes, it would be better if you were the one to explain it, Kaya.”
When it comes to agriculture, it is best to hear directly from those on the front lines.
“Still, if I may be blunt, will the folks at the university even be interested in politics before agriculture?”
“Who knows. But throwing new challenges at them isn’t necessarily wrong, and since there are people planning to come to Weed from the university, I suppose it’s fine to treat this as preliminary preparation, isn’t it?”
Seraria seemed half-doubtful of my question as well, giving me a rather ambiguous answer.
They are coming to learn magic, so shifting the focus to politics and agricultural reform is quite a departure in direction.
Then again, there is no other place in the Rogari Continent where other nations gather to study.
Zurable must have been a truly unique place.
“Yuki-sama. Listening to this conversation—or rather, thinking about this school visit—how about we compile the content of the lessons we conducted and distribute them to our allied nations for the sake of future international exchange?”
“Ah, that would leave it up to each country to decide how to handle it, then.”
“Yes. Though, matters like agricultural reform to address overpopulation involve politics, so we can only note them down and leave the decision of whether or not to teach them to each individual nation.”
“That can’t be helped. Still, we should at least record that these are the lessons being taught at the international exchange school.”
“I believe that would be for the best.”
As we discussed these things, the night grew deeper.
It seems that in circles filled with researchers, politics is likely to be met with a cold shoulder.
It is the classic case of people having no interest in subjects outside their own field of inquiry.
