Chapter 192 The Second Source of Magi
After hearing what Conas said, the three of them looked a little surprised.
Gulan had never heard of it and had no knowledge of it. As he himself was not strong, he had always been doing research related to magic and rarely sought power within himself, so he did not know much about this aspect.
But Haiberian was different. He was the second of the Ten Saints and had some understanding in this area, but he had no system in either theory or practice.
Kira did not expect that this term would be proposed at this time. After all, it took seven years before it was studied in the original time and space.
"The second source of magic? What is that?"
It was Gulan who asked the question. As a scholar of magic research, he was not averse to such new vocabulary.
"That's just my guess. There's no concrete evidence yet."
Noticing that the three were quietly waiting for her to explain, Conas said, "A few years ago, my magic reached a bottleneck and could not be improved for a long time. In order to break through, I studied my magic from all aspects."
"Until recently, when I was researching the use of aging magic on myself, the magic power in my body suddenly changed. The amount of magic power was a little more than usual. Although it was limited, it made me realize that I might still have room for improvement."
The three of them immediately grasped the key point of this sentence.
Gulandoma became interested: "Suddenly extra magic power?"
Haiberian's expression was moved: "Room for improvement?"
Kira exclaimed, "You're doing research on using aging magic on yourself?"
Conas: “…”
"After research, I found that it was a part of the magic power that had never been effectively used. So I had a guess, that is, whether there is undiscovered energy in the magician's body that can be converted into magic power."
"We all know that every wizard has a container that determines the limit of his or her magic power. Even if the magic power is exhausted, we can automatically absorb magic particles from the atmosphere to refill it. But what if we don't completely use up the magic power in this container, but only use part of it? Or, what if there is another container?"
After hearing what Conas said, Gulan understood immediately: "I understand. What you mean is that most magicians have not used their magic power to the fullest extent, so there is still room for improvement."
"That's right!" Conas said, "I call this part of undiscovered magic power the wizard's second magic source."
Heiberian put down the goblet and said, "If this part of magic power can be developed to a state where it can be effectively utilized, it will be a significant improvement for wizards. If this conjecture can be confirmed and effectively developed, it will undoubtedly be a major breakthrough in the magic world."
Seeing that both the big names in the academic and magic circles were interested, Conas felt proud. Finally, she looked at Kira. As far as she knew, this young wizard named Kira was very talented in research and forging. He even developed something called out-of-body magic source, which was similar to her "second magic source". Maybe this research would depend on him.
"Little Kira, I heard that you once made a magic item called an out-of-body magic source. What do you think of my conjecture?"
Little Kira...
Hearing her call, Kira's face turned a little dark.
After thinking for a while, Kira replied, "The second source of magic? I did have some guesses, but I've never experienced it myself. I think Mr. Haiberion should have had some experience in squeezing out magic power, right?"
Kira has never developed a second source of magic, because he has never lacked magic power. This makes him certain that his magic power limit is greater than that of ordinary people, and perhaps the utilization rate of magic power in his body is also higher than that of others.
Erza can figure out the second source of magic by herself, so as the protagonist, why can’t I, Kira, be an innate owner of it?
Haiberian nodded and said, "Indeed, I have! I once fought with Celena, the first god of the Ten Saints, and got into trouble. At that time, my original magic power had been exhausted, but I forcibly squeezed out a small part of magic power. Perhaps this is the magic power that is usually not used."
Kira nodded and continued, "That's it! Each wizard's total magic power, magic power usage rate, and magic power conversion rate are different. Due to different physiques, their magic power usage rate may only reach 70%, 50%, or even 30%. The essence of developing a second magic source is to increase it to close to 100%."
"But the human body has a limit to its endurance. If we compare the body and magic power to a machine and engine oil, fully developing them may cause workload overload and eventually lead to collapse."
Conas' heart sank immediately. She had not thought of this before, or she actually had a vague guess, but she tried her best to avoid this possibility. Kira's words undoubtedly made her face this drawback again.
"Even a powerful wizard like Mr. Haiberion can't use 100% of his magic power, let alone others? If you use magic overload for a long time, you might grow a tumor that resists magic energy, and that would be more trouble than it's worth."
These words really sounded the alarm for the three of them.
"So...Kira-chan, what do you suggest?"
Suggestions? My suggestion is that you all buy my Out of Body Magic Source!!
Kira pretended to think about it and said, "If possible, I hope to first develop a machine that can determine the upper limit of a wizard's magic power usage based on his physique, and then explore a method to open the second magic source. This method must be controllable to ensure that the final usage rate does not exceed the upper limit."
The three of them nodded when they heard this: "Of course!"
“That’s exactly what we should do!”
After one topic was over, Kira thought of something else. He turned to look at Haiberion who was drinking milk and asked, "Mr. Haiberion, you just said that you fought with the god Celena. When was that?"
Haiberian thought for a moment and replied, "It was three years ago. What's wrong?"
Kira's face remained expressionless, and he said casually: "Nothing, I've just always been curious about how powerful this Saint Ten Number One is. It would be great if I could see it for myself!"
Would you like to see it?
Haiberion glanced at Kira and thought that the young man was just full of youthful vigor. After defeating two Saints, he wanted to challenge the number one. So he comforted him, "His strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He is so strong that he is like a monster. After the fight that year, he left Ishgar and went to the western continent to find a stronger opponent."
He went to the Western Continent ... Then by this time, the God should have become one of the Twelve Shields, right?
"Speaking of which, the college's enrollment test has already begun, right?" Old man Gulan stood up and asked, leaning on his snake-headed cane. "I wonder what this test is about?"
Hearing this question, Conas also stood up from her seat: "According to the time, it should be about time now. Come with me to check on the candidates!"
The three followed Conas to the balcony of the villa. The admission examination place of Demisool Magic Academy was not far away, and the situation of the candidates could be seen at a glance.
Kira looked around and saw crowds of people in the distance. The densely packed candidates had surrounded the examination venue, which was divided into several areas, each area was conducting different tests. As for the number of candidates, Kira made a rough estimate and it was about five hundred.
“There are so many people!”
At this moment, he really wanted to say something appropriate: Human beings are like ants.
Next to them, Conas pointed to the examination site and said, "This is the first stage of this enrollment examination. As long as the students who register pass all the tests, or get excellent scores in three or more items, they will pass and can continue with tomorrow's assessment. Otherwise, they will be eliminated."
Kira glanced at her: The first level? Does that mean there are several more levels to come?
