The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 36.4

Cisco is refreshingly straightforward and unreserved.

Mergin draws a Protection magic circle in Cisco’s hands.

“For Protection, just chanting the spell is enough. Once you get used to it, you won’t need to chant anymore. At first, just experiment with it. When Vanessa wakes up, have her practice by throwing stones or something.”

“Got it.”

And next is Rikka.

“Next is your turn.”

“Mergin, you’re quite strong.”

“Well, I’m invincible.”

Mergin says it jokingly, but Rikka looks frustrated rather than amused.

“Don’t make that face. I’ll make you stronger from now on.”

“What should I do?”

Mergin brings a log as tall as himself.

“Here we go. Cut this.”

“It’s impossible to split it with one strike.”

“With your sword skills, you’ll be able to do it. Now, try it in normal mode.”

Rikka follows the instructions and strikes with a grunt. The sword embeds in the log, stopping about one-third of the way through. Rikka steps on the log and pulls out his sword.

“See, it’s impossible, right?”

“Well, I’ll increase the power by about 10% and you can try again. Set the log upright.”

Mergin casts a slight buff.

“Ha… oh…”

“That’s a 10% increase. Next, I’ll increase it by 20%, so be careful.”

Then, with a 50% increase, Rikka splits the log in one strike.

“Impressive. I boosted your power with my magic just now, but learning to do this with your own magic power is body enhancement magic. What will you do? Pay for the water option and go with this?”

“Can I pay in installments?”

“Sure.”

So, Rikka received body enhancement magic.

Cisco seems to be very pleased with the compound bow and is shooting at the trees endlessly.

Now, for Iris’s special training… this guy…

Iris, using the unconscious Vanessa and Mergin’s coat as a makeshift kotatsu, is comfortably warm.
