Huge Holy 55

55 - I thought I had obtained a cheat magic, but it wasn't much of a magic

RAW

I keep earning experience points by going around C-rank dungeons.
I take two days off a week.
During my day off, I do things like doing research on the optimization of familiar spirit technique formulas, and working on cultivating the vegetable garden in the back to increase the yield of potions and the likes.

In the meantime, Sedoor and Heinz have reached a level where they can join the rounds, and Sedoor, who has an item box, was particularly helpful in collecting materials.
Perhaps because of the recent rumors, adventurers from other countries have visited, and domestic residents have joined the guild as adventurers.
On the other hand, noble adventurers are naturally leaving.

However, it seems that they have changed their policy to market W Country as an area of holiday homes, with the nobles who didn’t come here for the purpose of being adventurers themselves settling in newly built mansions. It seems they are succeeding in marketing it as a tranquil tourist attraction.
That's quite a good way to do it.

A little over a month before the [Westdelia International Expo].
The rumored guests from M Country were welcomed by the entire country.

Until recently, M Country was in a struggle for national leadership, but the situation has finally calmed down, and they have begun to focus on foreign trade.
They say that from this point on, they will cross several borders of small countries to reach I Confederacy.
The route is a slightly roundabout when seen on the map, but this seems to be the result of avoiding countries that do not have friendly relations with M Country.

I also observed from a distance, but those dressed in luxurious kimonos somewhat reminiscent of Japan are probably the royal family of M Country. They were led into the castle area of W Country.

Putting aside the fact that the kijin adventurers from M Country who have appeared in the guild are all guys, each and every single one of them have a large stature, on the level of the characters on a certain pirate manga.
As soon as they arrived, they extravagantly said things like ‘I’m thirsty, give me alcohol’, and so on.
Perhaps due to the fatigue of the long journey, the dinner was turned into a banquet.
Despite looking powerful, they're a friendly bunch. They get along well with heavy drinkers such as Zem.

Now then, I have to start making final adjustments to my familiars.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of heaven

―――The level of light magic has reached 35.

―――[Cycle] acquired.

It said.
What is that magic? For the time being, I checked my status.

Josiah
Job: Magician Lv.64
Element: Light Magic Lv.35

HP: 8200/8200
MP: 152000/152000

Physical Attack: 2500
Magic Attack: 5130
Defense: 550
Strength: 550
Agility: 2100

After going around the C-rank dungeons, my level has risen nicely. Well, in this world, instead of 100, you can increase your level to 1000. This is not a big deal in comparison.

Rather than that, this magic called [Cycle]...

Cycle: Alteration Magic
Converts abnormalities removed by purification into light magic power

...Ha? Oi oi, what the hell? Is this a cheat magic??
It's a hell of a cheat to be able to recycle what you spend on fatigue as magical power!
Attack, and then heal, and then recycle it~~... is this a perpetual motion machine!!

No, wait wait. Only abnormalities?
As a test, I tried cleaning myself with [Clean Water], then injuring myself and using Heal... I tried various things using [Cycle] magic, but apparently this magic.
It's only effective when removing curses, status ailments, and so-called illnesses.

It is too subtle to be of any use!
It would be convenient in the medical field, but damn... it doesn't seem like it could be used effectively even after combining it with [Holy].
In effect, does that mean that the only attack method for the light element is [Holy]...?

It's kind of frustrating, so I tried various [Cycle] techniques formulas to take a break from devising familiar technique formulas.

☆

After one night...

The only thing I completed was a new drug that uses [Cycle].
As for the technique formula... still nothing. Even if it can be used in the familiar spirit technique formulas, it ends up being something that only I can use.
One of the conditions for exhibiting this at the [Westdelia International Expo] is that it can be used by any race, so I'll keep my poor imitation to myself.

After finishing breakfast and cleaning, I noticed that the lodging house was somehow quiet and there was no sign of anyone.

“What? Is there no one here?”

I can see the chemist Lina and the earth-element healer working in the vegetable garden in the back.
In the area that serves as a training ground, Midia and Port were doing their morning training, activating their training grimoire and moving their bodies.
Other than that...

“Ah, old man! Thank goodness~... the old man stayed behind.”

Randy was about the only one.
For some reason Randy tapped me on the shoulder as though he was relieved.
Randy explained the situation before I asked.

“E~veryone goes to a C-rank dungeon, you know? Together with those kijin guys.”

“...With them?”

“Yeah, Wendy-chan seems like she's gone to a monster cuisine laboratory. Except for those who are still here, everyone seems to get along with them or something. It fe~els kinda unpleasant.”

“So that’s how it is...”

That’s not bad.
In fact, the kijins are all strong people. If they go with them, those W Country adventurers will be fine and I don’t have to worry about them... but, it feels unpleasant.
Randy's opinion was not lost on me.

“What the hell is that! Let me try it too!!”

Then, a girl's voice echoed from the training ground.
