The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 13. Thank you. My first disciple.

“Teacher. Mana at your fingertips…….”

“Shh.”

Seine dissuades Dale.

She put her hand to her mouth and her eyes were still on her hand.

“Concentrate.”

It will take some time for you to regain your composure.

At the whisper with such meaning, Dale straightened her head and once again gathered her nerves at the tip of her hand.

‘Right… I need to concentrate now.’

Close your eyes quietly and repeat the process of following the sensations felt at your fingertips.

In the process, in Dale’s mind, she was reminded of the time when she visited her sports team with Seine the other day.

‘Dale, the nature of your ability seems to have many similarities with mana.’

‘Is that so?’

‘Because a tool that a mana user has endowed with mana retains its property of exerting physical force for a while. And even though the tools you hold are very small, they still have power and interfere with the flow of mana around you.’

‘Hmm, I’m not sure.’

Dale had no awareness of him, not only when she was playing baseball at the time, but also in the tests she took afterward.

She just knew that in addition to the bat she held when she played baseball, the effect lasted longer than the ball she hit with that bat.

‘What was he thinking when he was holding the bat?’

‘He thought he had to squeeze as hard as he could. The ball has a lot of energy, so it could be dangerous if it bounces halfway.’

‘Yes, no matter what, when you hold on to power, your ability is applied more strongly to the tool. As expected at the beginning, it means that the power you possess has room to be used as the energy you radiate.’

If it’s a force controlled by will, of course it would be better to organize the training method similar to how to use mana.

Because mana, which is guided by unconsciousness, also exerts physical force, albeit very weakly.

It could be said that the first step toward becoming a mana user was to gradually develop that sense, get used to mana, and then concentrate that sense in one place to grow the scale.

‘But I can’t feel anything.’

Of course, unlike mana, his nullification ability does not take on the nature of ‘physical power’.

Since it is neither visible nor felt, it is impossible to examine and awaken its power through the senses.

‘Really?’

Even so, Seine didn’t give up and said it over and over again.

‘Concentrate more. Empty your mind and focus only on the sensations in your body.’

If you don’t feel it in the first place, it might be a meaningless attempt. Even so, she did not show even a single trembling in the eyes facing her.

Believe in yourself.

Just as she believes in her.

‘I’ll try.’

So Dale kept repeating.

Keep going without giving up, even if the days go by when you feel nothing.

In order to bring back herself who had been kicked out of her class, and to live up to her expectations by guiding her wholeheartedly.

‘I can feel it.’

And the change occurred around the 5th day after receiving the guidance.

‘Feel it, what do you mean?’

‘The feeling of tickling my fingers. It must have been a mosquito bite.’

‘Whoops, I can’t see mosquitoes.’

Something invisible began to stimulate the fingertips.

As if responding to the will to control some kind of power flowing through my body.

‘Dale. That’s called mana.’

That’s right, this is the mana that was drawn to the unconscious.

Compared to normal mana users, it was extremely small, but something that could be called a change had occurred.

‘Although it may be a small force, you, who have not felt mana before, are the first to become aware of the existence of mana. That alone would be a big improvement.’

‘Can I use magic with this?’

‘It’s not too much yet.’

After all, magic is the use of intangible energy as a tool to cause a specific phenomenon.

In order to separate and operate each mana throughout the body as much as necessary, it is necessary to increase the scale even to replenish the necessary amount of energy.

So we shouldn’t be satisfied here. Based on that judgment, Seine asked Dale to move on to the next step.

‘Now, Dale, if you’re starting to feel mana, let’s do the opposite now.’

‘No?’

‘Because in your case, nullification, not mana, is the main thing. So, instead of using the part where you can feel mana as a starting point to spread the power, try to use the power with the feeling that you are regurgitating the parts where you can’t feel mana.’

It’s not like growing the part where you can feel mana, it’s like erasing the part where you can’t feel mana.

It’s a process that normal wizards never go through, but it doesn’t prove that you’re inferior to others.

It’s just that it’s a bit different from others, so it’s just a little late to pioneer a path that didn’t exist before.

‘My senses are developing.’

‘Please concentrate more.’

‘The scope is getting wider.’

‘You’re doing well. Go on.’

The more I tried to get rid of those wriggling forces, the more I felt that I was enveloped in a strange sensation.

It’s not just because I felt an unfamiliar sensation in my body.

Although he started later than others and his growth is slow, but still.

But unlike before, when I was stagnant, I feel that I am growing little by little.

-Tutuk.

As if such efforts bear fruit.

Items that existed where Dale’s hands stretched began to slowly shake.

‘Just a little more.’

I calmed down my heart that was about to get excited by the shaking, and concentrated on concentration over and over again.

When the shaking subsided, Dale opened her closed eyes and stared at the scene in front of her.

The ballpoint pen with the left hand facing is fixed upright.

In the other hand, a marble is floating in the air.

“Telekinesis, you succeeded.”

A telekinesis that controls and manipulates pure physical force.

It was the moment when the spell, the foundation of all magic, was finally accomplished.

“Once you have succeeded in the basics, you should apply the next step.”

But it’s too early to rejoice.

Telekinesis is the foundation of the basics of dealing with pure physical force.

Picking up an object with great concentration is a very inefficient method of use compared to just holding it with your hands and shaking it.

In order to increase efficiency, it is necessary to go through application.

The candle Seine proposed was a tool to test such applications.

“Are you ready?”

Light a candle.

For that process alone, a formula enough to fill a blackboard is needed, and mana management corresponding to it is also necessary.

In addition, this child who has a nullification constitution will need more management than that.

“…… Yes.”

Even so, Dale shook off his hesitation and reached for the candlestick with both hands.

A sense of physical force emitted in response to one’s will while dwelling in the body.

Many formulas were popping up in Dale’s mind as he gradually managed it.

‘Adjustment of the amount of energy required for the conversion of materials, the ignition point of materials applied with mana, the classification of fine dust remaining in the air, and the adjustment of the oxygen concentration in the air…’

-Chijik.

A small friction sound at the tip of the wick.

The power generated by the friction between mana and mana generates heat, and the heat reacts to the lower ignition point due to the change in the nature of the wick, and gradually begins to dye the body red.

It really happened in an instant that the fine dust that gathered from it gradually gathered and fueled the fire.

-Flame!

The moment when the sound of heating the air resounded.

Dale, who let go of his stopped breathing, lifted his sweaty eyelids and stared at the scene in front of him.

A light shimmering in my blurry vision.

“…… Teacher.”

When it is gradually straightened out.

Dale said, feeling the warmth in his fingertips.

“I… …. Fire. I smoked it.”

The light dancing in front of me would surely be called an ember.

With your own hands.

I succeeded in lighting the fire with my own will.

“Yes, I smoked it.”

“I did. Without using her hands, only with mana…….”

“Yes, it really worked.”

Whoops, the sound of laughter coming from behind.

It wasn’t until that moment that Dale’s head turned to Seine.

You are now at eye level with yourself.

As usual, towards her kind smile.

“How are you feeling?”

I can feel her heart swell just by looking at her face.

I could feel that she genuinely rejoiced in her own success.

“Ooh……”

Really confident.

Because she realized that she had succeeded in what she thought was impossible.

“Ahhh!!! I did it sir!! I can finally use magic!”

“Whoops, are you that happy?”

“I am delighted! I am very happy!!”

Dale bursts into tears with his arms outstretched.

What existed in her place was just a young boy who was genuinely delighted with his achievements.

Yeah, who could look at this kid and think he’s the honorable head of this academy?

“I should give a prize to a child who does well..”

But regardless of its status and position, it is something to celebrate that it has reached a new level.

After that, Seine began to carefully overlap Dale’s hands.

“Sales?”

“Stay still.”

The hand holding my hand.

The skin is rough, but the warmth is very warm.

While feeling his stomach itching at that sensation, Seine gradually began to loosen up in Dale’s hands.

“Student Dale Enverton.”

Whispering kindly in my ear.

“I sincerely thank you for following my insufficient teaching and posting results.”

Before long, Seine lifted her hand and began to show off what she had left in Dale’s hand.

The ring on the index finger is made of pure silver.

In front of it was engraved a cross with a design similar to the rosary that Seine wears around her neck.

“What, what is it? This?”

“It is a souvenir given to the supporters of the church to which I belong. In your case, it’s not sponsored, but……. Still, you are the first disciple I accepted after working as a teacher, so I hope there is something worth commemorating. I wanted to.”

For the first time.

Saying that, Seine smiled broadly and patted Dale’s head.

“Thank you for your hard work. My first disciple. I wish you all the best in your future school life.”

Dale enjoys being touched while standing still.

Compared to her frozen body, her face was glowing for some reason.

-Thump, pound.

Why? I just received the award, but I could feel her heart swell more than when I lit the embers.

Fearing that her heartbeat might not be heard, Dale hurriedly backed away and squeezed her ringed hand tightly.

“All right, next time… ….”

Even so, she slowly raises her head.

To face her, her still smiling her delightful smile at herself.

“Can we meet again next time?”

However, he worried that the answer to the question of her fate and age might be negative.

“…… It makes a weird noise We are in the same academy, so we can meet anytime.”

“Ahahahaha, yes, it is…” … ?”

Dale smiles vaguely.

Seine stared blankly at Dale, then she smiled and waved her hand at Dale.

“Still, come visit me only when you are sick. Don’t be faking it.”

Yes, it’s time to say goodbye.

Still, she felt no hesitation in making her way to the exit.

“Yes! See you next time!!”

As she said, today is not the end of your life at this academy.

Dale, leaving her seat, smiled happily as he looked down at the ring on her hand.

“Okay, let’s work hard!”

I promise to become a student who is not ashamed of this ring.

With a firm commitment again.

***

“… Was the health room this large?”

After sending Dale away for regular classes.

As she looked around the rest of the infirmary, she felt the emptiness approaching.

She thinks the place might be too large for her to be alone.

“No way, quiet is good.”

If there is a fuss here and there for no reason, there are more things to do.

Thinking that it was a good experience, I put the books and tools Dale used intact in the desk drawer.

And…….

– Dripping.

A student who just opened the door of the health room and came to visit.

“Hey, sir. Could you please take a look at it now?”

Just by facing him, he felt the bitterness he felt before disappear.

“So, where did you come because you were sick?”

I Seine Velvet is a health teacher at Maris Academy.

Because Dale wasn’t the only student to be looked after.
