Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 106
Only Noblemtl
Episode 106 Bonus Stage (1)
From the moment we first met, Radhika was friendly.
I don’t know why. It could be his original personality, or it could be because he saved his younger sibling, or it could be because he has some ulterior motive.
But either way, it wasn’t something that was treated as a treasure even among the earth elves, so they wouldn’t hand it over so casually.
It wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be converted into money or anything, it was just that there wasn’t any quantity.
“Didn’t you say it takes decades to get a standard amount?”
“That’s right. It’s not a short time for us either. But it’s not a time we can’t wait for.”
If a human misses an opportunity, he may be old and dead when his next turn comes.
Because fairies always have opportunities. Of course, even if it’s an opportunity that only comes a few times in a lifetime, it’s still precious.
“I have enough to stockpile a spare for the gems. And you said you recently got nearly double the standard amount at once? Since we have a lot coming in, we have room to use a lot.”
“But I guess you would normally choose to stockpile it. Do you have a favor to ask?”
“Oh my, is it too obvious?”
Radica smiled a little embarrassedly. Galen responded nonchalantly.
“Rather, I would have been more suspicious if you had said you would give me that precious thing unconditionally.”
“I would like to give it to you right away, but I can’t because both the chairman and vice chairman are honorary positions.”
Of course, you can suppress the backlash by force using the power of the jewel.
It was a method that was not easily tolerated in a fairy society where everyone was equal.
“So, we have no choice but to go in a direction that will cause the least amount of backlash.”
“I need another achievement like winning the tournament and rescuing the two golds. I’m starting to get worried about what to do.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll all understand if you solve the problem that none of us could solve.”
“Us?”
It felt like an expression I had heard before when Akanksha was here. Galen’s eyebrows twitched.
“Does ‘we’ by any chance refer to all the earth elves?”
“that’s right.”
“What can we do that Radika couldn’t do?”
“I mean you, Galen.”
Radika’s eyes drew a sharp line.
“I told you before. Even if a wizard becomes a jewel, he is still a wizard. The range of applications will only expand, but his essence as an expert in a specific field will not change.”
And unfortunately, since all the earth elves learned the same magic, what the best, Radika, could not do, no earth elf could do.
On the other hand, even if they were weaker than Radica, they could still be eaten by experts in completely different fields.
“If you won’t help me, I’ll have to find another wizard… … I don’t think I’ll be able to find a better candidate than you, whether it’s skill, lineage, or trust.”
“When you say it like that, I don’t know what to do with myself.”
Galen scratched his head and looked to the side.
“How about Lilia?”
“I like it!”
As soon as he asked, the answer came back immediately. In fact, it was half a formality. He couldn’t even remember when Lilia had ever expressed her opposition to him.
Galen nodded, looking back at Radica.
“Then let’s give it a try. Please don’t say anything if I fail.”
“Just do your best. Even if you’re not very good at it, you’ll still be able to get a clue.”
Radika smiled brightly.
“Go and tell your brother. We’ll leave right away.”

When I returned to the campsite and explained the situation, Akanksha surprisingly accepted it calmly.
“I know it’s only now that I say it, but I actually had a rough idea.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s true that my sister was interested in you, but if that interest was simply a matter of wanting to meet you, she’s the type of person who would go and meet you herself.”
“I thought you were going to let me watch the competition again.”
“I came looking for you without even knowing where you were. It was because you happened to be in Mezaia that I was able to participate in the festival and participate in the competition.”
In short, the real purpose of the invitation was this request, and the rest was really just a bonus. The bonus was just a little bit of a star, so it was really great.
“Anyway, do your best. If you have any business with our federation after you finish, I’ll see you then. If not, I’ll see you later!”
“Yes. Thank you, Akanksha!”
So, after taking a full day off the day after the competition, I said goodbye to the land elves of the Red Rock Federation.
“It’s such a remote place that I feel bad about inviting you first, but if you happen to be passing by, please stop by.”
“Oh, or should I pay it back now?”
“It’s okay. It’s enough that I received the goods… … Lilia? Why are you suddenly like this?”
“No, nothing.”
Before leaving, I also greeted the White Peak Alliance’s earth elves that I happened to run into. For some reason, Lilia seemed to pout slightly when she saw them.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Anyway, before the festival was completely over, Radhika and the two left the campsite first.
“The staff will take care of the aftermath.”
“This is something Akanksha said before… … Can you not help me?”
“It’s okay because my work is more important. Didn’t Rushad give permission?”
“I saw you sighing… … .”
Akanksha tells us that both Rushad and Radhika are jewel magicians, but Radhika is a bit stronger.
It appears that the guild leaders were not appointed in order of their abilities.
Well, it would be better for the vice-chairman to hang out rather than the chairman to hang out.
Well, it wasn’t Galen’s concern how beautiful the Earth Elves’ organizational culture was.
“But are just the three of us going?”
“I think I can help you enough on my own. Who else do you need?”
“No, wouldn’t three be enough to make a wyvern?”
“oh?”
Even though I kept receiving reports, I hadn’t thought of it. It was a method that was so far removed from the common sense of the earth elves.
It seems that the information about the madman enslaving his own kind has spread among the wyverns, but it has not been seen for a long time.
“Keeeeeek!”
After waiting for about two hours, an unlucky wyvern got caught.
“That’s funny. Why didn’t I think of this before?”
It was Radica’s impression as she watched with interest the sight of the wyvern being beaten.
“If we can figure out how to get on board for the first time, it might be difficult for ordinary people, but it seems possible for someone like Golden.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“If you only use your strength momentarily when you hit, wouldn’t the Wyvern be able to withstand that much? Of course, it’s a different matter if you can do it as skillfully as Lilia… … At least I can. I learned a good lesson.”
While Radica was seriously considering whether to introduce new rules regarding wyverns starting from the next competition.
The subdued wyvern came down to the ground, squirming.
Since it was said that it was possible to hold on to the horns and endure it with bare hands, Radica just rode on, and Galen used the strength of the rope this time as well.
Soon the wyvern carrying the three of them took flight, fluttering its wings.
“Would you like to go over there?”
“yes!”
The direction is north-northwest.
Swoosh!
Fortunately, as expected, the wyvern flew quite well.
The Earth Elf, who does not use the power of the earth at all, is much lighter than Lilia due to her small stature.
A wyvern strong enough to snatch sheep, horses, and even cows would not be able to stomach carrying two women and one man.
It’s a little shaky, but that’s just because I’ve been hit so many times.
“If things continue like this, we’ll be able to arrive today, right?”
“That quickly?”
“That’s the speed. It took less than an hour to get there, a distance that would take all day to climb a mountain.”
Of course, the wyvern was not a species that could fly for that long without resting, and it was difficult to hold on to the horns while standing, so it had to take breaks in between.
The distance to the destination, which was supposed to take six days one way, was quickly shortening.
“I knew it would take a long time so I tried to tell you slowly, but I guess I should just tell you now.”
When we came back down to earth for lunch, Radhika brought up the subject of star fragments.
Since they had only heard how precious the item was, and had not yet heard what effect it actually had, both Galen and Lilia perked up their ears.
“The name ‘crumbs’ was given because they were discovered little by little, and ‘star’ was given because it resembled a star.”
“Is it shiny?”
“No, not the appearance. When you look at the stars in the night sky, don’t you get a mysterious feeling? Or is it just us who feel that way?”
“We do that too.”
“That’s what it feels like.”
I thought it might be something related to meteorites since it was called a star, but it was completely different from what Galen had imagined.
“It is said that star fragments have some kind of mysterious power, and after they are tamed, their owners can use that power.”
“Borrowing means… … ?”
“Literally, you can add the power of the stars to your power. To put it more simply, you can use less of your power and make up for what’s lacking with the power of the stars.”
“… … Is that possible?”
“It’s a treasure because it’s possible.”
To those who were half in doubt, Radhika added additional explanation.
The power of the stars reacts with any power, whether it be aerodynamic, magical, or divine power.
The reason humans don’t know is probably because star fragments are objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The earth elves are always surrounded by the power of the earth, so while working in the mines, you may feel a magical reaction and discover star fragments.
Humans don’t work as warriors, magicians, or priests in mines. Even if they did, the items were so rare that they wouldn’t be easily found.
“There are cases where a weapon is made without knowing anything, but a very small amount of star fragments are mixed in. That is what is called a treasured sword. The power of the stars is added without the user knowing, and the attack becomes sharper.”
“Aha. Then what is the standard amount?”
“The more star fragments you have, the more star power you can draw from, but if there are too many, it’s impossible to control. The maximum is usually considered to be one-on-one. Half your power, half the star power.”
“Then I guess I don’t need more than a certain amount of star crumbs? Even if I have a lot, I won’t be able to use all my strength anyway.”
“That’s right. The standard amount is just right for that. It’s the amount that can provide enough star power for the gem to use.”
“Well, to put it very simply.”
Galen, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, asked a question that got to the heart of the matter.
“Since you can mix up to half, does that mean the total magical power will double?”
“You can understand it that way. The same goes for aerodynamics and sexual power.”
“What about lifespan?”
“life?”
“Can I continue to use the power of the stars? Without restrictions?”
“Well, I don’t know about that. I’ve been using it for over thirty years.”
“Thirty years… … .”
If you just look at her appearance, she’s at an age where you’d be lucky if she were half that age.
That’s not important right now.
“At that level, it is worthy of being called a holy sword.”
Lilia’s eyes sparkled as she muttered.
As with other miracles, the duration of the miracle of blessing, which consumes all of your holy power in one breath and makes you extremely strong, is said to be doubled.
“I’ll have to work really hard for this request.”
Galen’s expression also showed deep interest.
He has already reached the gold level with five magics, so if he uses all of his magics evenly, it’s like having five times more magical power than other magicians.
What if you could mix the power of the stars into all your magic?
It’s not five times, it’s ten times. The fraud evolves into a full-blown fraud.
Even if that wasn’t the case, it was definitely good since at least the magical power of one of the main spells would be doubled.
“Yes. Since it’s so good, you should both take one whole instead of half.”
Radika finished her explanation with a soft smile.
After finishing their meal and resting a bit more, they caught a new wyvern and set off again.
They continued to fly north-northwest like that.
We were actually able to arrive at our destination before the sun set.
“They’re all here. Over there.”
The mountain peak that can be seen in the distance, towering high above its surroundings.
As we got a little closer, the terrain became more visible.
It was hollow, like a volcanic crater, and was filled with water inside.
“… …Why is the condition like that?”
Lilia, who had good eyesight, was the first to notice the abnormality and squinted her eyes.
After a while, Galen also noticed something strange.
“uh?”
The waves on the lake were crashing like crazy.
