Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 75 The Magic of Happiness

 
"When I first met the teacher, the magic she used was the Sequence 6 Fireball. The principle of the Fireball is to use magic power to generate high-temperature flames and then release them. The Fireball is a Sequence 6 magic, and the composition of its magic formula determines that it has a minimum temperature limit, which means that the Fireball can only be a pure killing magic."
Some people might wonder why Fireball is actually a sequence six magic, which is a magic that only certified magicians can learn under the rules of this world. In fact, Angelica was also surprised when she was learning magic, that Fireball was actually an intermediate magic.

But after actual use, Angelica found that she might have underestimated the value of Fireball. Perhaps it was because the effect of Fireball in the comics before the time travel was at best to make people look dirty and had almost no lethality, which led Angelica to have a wrong perception.
Fireball is a magic recognized by everyone as having a very obvious benefit in terms of damage and mana consumption among Sequence Six. It can generate terrifyingly high temperatures in a very short period of time. Magicians are mortal after all, and even if they do not lose their lives after being hit by a fireball, they will suffer severe burns on their bodies.
Its nature was so vile that there was a period of time when protests against Fireball broke out, and human female magicians collectively petitioned the church to ban Fireball. They were extremely disgusted with this magic that could easily cause disfigurement.

However, the ban on fireball was eventually abolished after being implemented for a period of time, because the beliefs of the human world are not the same, not to mention the existence of other races. The ban on fireball is equivalent to restricting rule-abiding people in vain.
The reason lies in two aspects. One is that people who have reached the level of magicians can easily learn the Fireball Technique of Sequence 6. The second reason is the magic formula structure that Merlin mentioned. The magic formula structure of Fireball Technique will make the flames reach a high temperature that is difficult for civilians to use. If you try to change the magic formula structure of the lowest temperature of Fireball Technique, it will directly destroy the magic formula, making it impossible to chant the Fireball.
Merlin's assessment of Fireball was spot on: pure murderous magic.

After saying that, Merlin raised his index finger, and a flame ignited on his fingertip.
"Incineration, Sequence 9: Sparks. Sequence 9 Sparks can be used in daily life, such as lighting torches, cooking, and camping... From this perspective, Sparks is a much more powerful magic than Fireball."
“Interesting theory.”

"Teacher, I think Sequence Nine magic may be the perfect form of magic."
"So in your understanding, what is the meaning of ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ magic?"
"The meaning of magic? It should be to make those who learn it live happier."

“…”
Angelica was silent, with an expression Merlin had never seen before.
"Did I come to a stupid conclusion?"

"No, not really. You're... somewhat similar to me from a long time ago."
Merlin's eyes suddenly lit up: "So the teacher agrees with my idea?"
"But that was just my immature and naive thinking when I was very young."
"Uh... does this mean that the teacher has changed her mind now?"

“I just gave up.”
The witch said lightly.
"I tried before, an ideal country where everyone can be happy, using magic to bless everyone... but I failed, that's it."

Merlin almost blurted out, wanting to ask Angelica what happened, but he didn't say anything in the end. He couldn't tell whether Angelica's expression at this moment was sadness or open-mindedness due to the passage of time.
"I won't give up. I've decided to try this."
"oh?"

"Although Fireball is a pure killing magic, there are many high-sequence magics that can be used in daily life. For example, Star Map Overlook, with it, the fleet on the ocean will no longer get lost. However, Star Map Overlook is a Sequence 5 magic. A magician who is capable of learning Star Map Overlook will not be content to be a navigator. I wonder if there is a way to popularize magic like Star Map Overlook."
"That's a good idea, but I'll say this first. I won't teach you how to popularize it. You have to figure it out on your own."
However, Merlin was old enough to be a teenager who refused to admit defeat. He was not discouraged by the witch's negative attitude at all. On the contrary, Merlin became even more enthusiastic.

This seems to be something that even the witch teacher can't do. If I can achieve it -
"If I can achieve this, can I propose to the teacher?"
With a passion in his heart, Merlin said something that would have made him blush two years earlier.

The witch was not angry, and her smile was as warm and cheerful as ever.
"You can do it now. But the answer is I refuse."
“Eh——”

——Three years later.
Merlin decided to leave the Misty Mountains, his talent had reached the level of a wizard.
"By the way, I've always been curious, why did the teacher raise slimes and tentacle monsters on the road leading to the Misty Mountains?"

"They can keep boring intruders out, and I don't want to be disturbed every day. An annoying guy like you is enough for my stupid disciple."
"Can I understand that I already live in the teacher's heart?"
"It's impossible. Give up."

Merlin packed his bags and had a conversation with the witch that didn't sound like a farewell at all. Merlin thought that since he had lived in the Misty Mountains for more than five years, his teacher should be a little sad when they parted.
However, Angelica's attitude was very calm. Merlin wanted to be optimistic and think that the teacher was just forcing a smile, but he knew in his heart that Angelica was not very sad. Although this was definitely not a farewell, Merlin was far from being able to learn the Sequence 2 Space Warp, which meant that Merlin himself did not know when he could return to the Misty Mountains again.
When Angelica stays at home for a long time, she will go out for a wander from time to time. Sometimes she will come back after a few months, and sometimes after more than ten years. Even if Merlin comes back, he may not be able to see the witch.

As long as Angelica didn't take the initiative to look for Merlin, the time they spent together would not be as long as Merlin spent learning magic in the Misty Mountains.
Coming to the courtyard, Merlin looked up and the pungent sunlight shone on his face. The terrain of the Misty Mountains was very peculiar. There was overlapping fog on the way up the mountain, but the top of the mountain was a sunny and beautiful view.
In the warm sunlight, the witch's beautiful face without the wizard hat was clearly visible, and her skin looked even more delicate. Merlin looked at all this, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Teacher, you haven't changed at all."
