The 7th Witch

On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the numb...

Chapter 43 Habit Correction

“… …?”

Hulim was a little confused.

"Teacher Collette, what does this mean?"

"Well, Hulim-san, when you cast your spell, your pronunciation seemed a bit too imitative of others."

"The pronunciation of the spell? But the spell I chanted can successfully activate the magic?"

Collette shook her head.

"Student Hulim, you misunderstood. The difference in pronunciation won't have much impact on the casting of magic, but it will affect the speed of the magic, and even the efficiency and effectiveness of the magic."

"Because everyone has their own pronunciation habits, which are the result of the coordination between the body and the magic circuit. This is also why the power of magic fluctuates when people use magic. The fundamental reason is the level of coordination."

"If you don't find the most suitable pronunciation habits for your body, it will inevitably affect the effectiveness of the magic."

"It's like shoes. Everyone has their own size. Although other sizes can be worn and you can walk in them, they are definitely not as comfortable as the right size, and walking will be faster and easier. The problem of pronunciation is like the problem of shoe size. You buy a pair of shoes that are the same as others, but they don't fit you."

I see... ...

After listening to Collette's explanation, Hulim understood the crux of the matter and also knew why she had not realized this situation.

After all, Semiris didn't need any spells to cast magic, she only recited them because she had to recite the spells to cast magic.

In this case, she naturally ignored the fact that the spell would vary from person to person.

At the beginning, he completely imitated Semiris's way of casting magic. Because the magic was cast smoothly, he did not realize that the pronunciation habits of his spells were Semiris' habits, not his own.

"Hmm... So what should I do, Miss Collette?"

"Don't worry, Hulim!" Collette said with a smile. "Just correct it. Your pronunciation is ingrained in your body, so it's easy to find it again. The teacher will help you next."

Then, with the help of Collette, Hulim began to practice correcting the spell.

"Ah, something doesn't feel right. The magic seems to be slowing down."

“Is this back to its original state?”

"...Don't worry, just calm down and let your intuition take over."

"The magic is working better now. It looks like we're getting close. Keep it up!"

With Collette's help, Hulim corrected her magic casting habits in a short time.

This incident also made Hulim realize that everyone may have shortcomings and have things worth learning.

From then on, in addition to receiving Semiris's training every day without fail, Hulim now had someone to consult about magic.

Although Hulim and Collette are both third-level magicians now, Collette has received education in a higher magic school, and her knowledge and insights into magic are far beyond what Hulim can now. Some problems that Hulim is not aware of and Semiris ignores may not be trivial in human life, and Collette can tell Hulim these.
