Advertisement
After the short lovely conversation between the daughter and the father, princess Alfin and Azumi make her way to the library, situated just outside of the castle
once they exit the gate, they are greet by the guard and one of the guard hand over a book to Princess Alfin
"is this the book syllabus for magic subject?"
"yes, it's for the new student that will enroll this year"
Alfin begin to flip the book, seeing again the content of the textbook, this has became a routine for her at the start of every year since she want the teacher at the academy to teach the latest thing in every subject
she then give the book to Azumi
"that was fast"
"well, it is a basic thing, plus just imagining the fresh enthusiastic look of those children craving to learn pump my spirit even higher"
"most of them have the look craving for food though"
"then i will slowly change it to craving to knowledge"
"still, can I really have the word on this? Aren't you the great scholar here"
"Did i have to repeat this every time? I might be a scholar but you aren't half bad yourself plus you literally have affinity to all type of magic and the way you use magic as compare to everyday adventure or knight is beyond good"
"But what if i give a wrong input and because of me they will become dumb?"
"no, that won't happen!"
Azumi reluctantly agreed, still, as Princess Alfin mentioned, this is only the basic of magic, so even someone like him can say something about it
magic - a phenomenon that happen when you directly pour your magical energy into yourself or your environment to make a certain change
it is affected not only by the magical energy (mana) pour by the user, but also the knowledge of the user on the element use, the affinity to that element, the season, the willpower, the magic circle usage and various minute thing

currently, the magic of the world are made up of 7 basic elements, and other elements are said to be the derivative or the higher variant of those particular element
those 7 element are fire, water, earth, wind, time, space, mirage
as mentioned before, there are other variant such as lighting, a combination of high wind magic and space, or ice a higher variant of water, darkness and light derive from element of time and space itself
there are also some element like physics which mainly affect the mind, flora to control the plant and fauna to control one own body or other being that are not fully understood but they are believe to be derive mostly from mirage
while it is believe that a person can use all element in theory, they are bound by their own affinity to those particular element, those affinity was set at birth but can be change through training, magic circle, magic tool and also some major life experience, for example, those who love to play with the rain every day might later have a higher affinity to water. the event of someone born with affinity to all element are very rare and it was said that less than 50 people have it throughout the history
while most simple magic can be use without a chant, the use of chant can increase the power of the spell as it reinforces the willpower of the person
futhermore, magic circle are also mostly unnecessary for simple magic and some great magician doesn't even need to use magic circle to use a higher spell
still, the usage of magic circle have it own benefit, as magic circle make the magic stronger and uses less mana as compared to one without it
magic circle can be made on the spot by pouring one own mana into a shape of a circle and the mana must be compatible with the spell use otherwise the effect must be detoriate, for example if one want to use the magic of fire, the mana that is pour to make the magic circle must be fire mana

another type of magic circle is the one prepare beforehand, they are drawn into any canvas with any ink and any material can be added to make it stronger. This make it easier to use any magic element that one have low affinity with, to make it stronger you can use use material that have higher affinity to those particular element, for example using canvas of fire and red ink pour with fire mana and adding fire magic core will amplify the power
as for magic tool, please refer another book since they're a vast topic on its own
"phew, what a long summary, Mrs Usagina really did a great job on this one"
" you think so, i sincerely think its a little bit short"
"well, not all people are bookworm like you, plus we have to first make them like to read or at least willing to read in spare time, so i think this is good enough'
"well it is true, but my hand are aching to add more"
"please don't, i have no doubt you can make this book into 1000 page long if you want to, but think of those students"
"fine..."
"i'm gonna deliver this to Mrs usanagi back, so here write a feedback before i do so"
Both of them write a feedback and attached it to the book, then Azumi use a wind magic to make a wind golem with the shape of a crow and ask it to be delivered to mrs Usanagi
"you really are good at magic aren't you"
"look whose talking"
"even i will have a hard time creating a golem as easily as you are, you know that right"
just as they finish their chat, they arrive at the library

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
