Chapter 22 - My Arrogant Childhood Friend

As I was blatantly lowering my enthusiasm, Saya suddenly started making a clay doll.

"Is this another battle?"

"Supposedly, I don't take any damage, but still..."

"Huh? What's wrong? Come on, shoot at the target!"

"Didn't you just say something different earlier?"

This girl... she's already convinced herself she said it in her head. Ugh, I can't take this...

"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

By the way, why could I use a fifth-level spell when I'm only level one?

[Answering. It's part of the effect of the unique skill 'Limit Break.']

Oh, right... I wasn't asking, though.

Anyway, if I keep Saya waiting, things could get really bad, so I should just shoot.

[Skill 'Wisdom' allows for magic activation without incantation. It is recommended to fully delegate efficient magic usage to the skill 'Wisdom.']

If you could do that, why didn't you use it during the fight earlier?

I almost died there.

[Note. The skill 'Wisdom' cannot use magic without the user's permission.]

Other skills worked, didn't they? Aren't you just making excuses?

[Note. Using magic with the skill 'Wisdom' requires synchronization with the owner's consciousness.]

Why? 'Wisdom,' you're noisy, so please explain more concisely.

[Understood. Magic usage is tied to the owner's imagination, making it impossible to use the skill alone.]

Why didn't you say that from the beginning?

You were just being loud for no reason.

If you'd explained it like that, I could have accepted it.

[Would you like to start synchronization with the skill 'Wisdom'?]

... Yeah. Only during training.

And deactivate the synchronization except when using magic.

[Understood. Synchronization will commence now.]

[Completed.]

... Nothing's changed, has it?

What's this synchronization about?

[It only shares vision, senses, and imagination.]

... I had high hopes for nothing.

Anyway, I'm counting on you for using magic, Wisdom.

To save me from the embarrassment of chanting spells.

[Understood. Magic usage will commence.]

Well then... I'll touch the stone.

The high power is scary, so please stick to first-level magic.

Alright.

... I have a bad feeling, worse than usual.

Just my imagination... right?

______________

[Title]Indiscriminate Magic Train

 Granted to those who unleash over ten types of magic indiscriminately more than ten thousand times within thirty minutes.

 When casting magic randomly, the magic explodes.

 Additionally, if the target has resistance to the magic, the resistance is penetrated, and damage is inflicted.

 However, if the magic is nullified, it has no effect.

 When hitting an opponent with magic, whether friend or foe, magic attack power temporarily

 increases, and additional damage can be dealt.

"...What the heck...?"

Oh, that's it. It's over.

I'm done for.

I thought I had achieved a breakthrough, but this time, it was pure despair.

"Yuna-chan...?"

Saya, who had been silent for a while, speaks hesitantly.

"...It wasn't supposed to be like this..."

No, it's too late.

I've fallen into the deepest despair.

...

...

Well, let's reset my mind and re-evaluate.

So, Saya can't see it.

"Yuna-chan, are you okay?"

Saya is worried.

I can't stay down forever.

"Yup, I'm fine! No problem!"

I said it to reassure Saya, but my voice still wavered.

... I've got to fix this.

First of all, let's clear my mind.

Then I'll think about how to fix it.

First, I'll clear my mind.

And think of a solution.

Think of how to fix it.

[Recommendation: Activate 'Wisdom' to solve the problem.]

Yes, let's activate 'Wisdom.'

[Understood. Synchronization commencing now.]

Well then...

Time to change course and find a way out.
