There was no helping it. Advanced magic was like that: put it in front of you, and unless you were a genius, there was no way you'd understand it.
One glance at them told Leticia what was going on. Looking a little puzzled, she said, "It's not that hard, is it?"
"Even the slowest person should be able to learn the method of increasing mana efficiency and compressing mana to improve its quality, right?"

One mage was so discouraged that he applied to leave the mage corps. "I can actually use Battle Qi, too. Maybe I should just give up on magic."
All right. Leticia had carefully considered what she could share with strangers to help end the war without affecting her—but they couldn't understand it.
Compared to Enchantment Magic, which was simply a matter of grasping the idea,

"I'm sorry, everyone. Um, I do know another method. How about we dig trenches and advance that way?"
"Once we're within a hundred meters, we can use this spell: Sixth Order advanced magic, Arrow Rain." Leticia wrote the formula and the principles behind casting it on the blackboard.
"Their guns can only fire one shot before they have to reload. It shouldn't be hard to block two or three shotgun blasts, right?"
When you were short on firepower and could get close enough, fighting with Cold Weapons made perfect sense.
Digging trenches to close the distance was also a tried-and-true tactic.
The people hiding inside the machine-gun bunkers would be troublesome, as would those holed up in the artillery bunkers.
"We can use this Arrow Rain spell, and have the mages give the people charging forward a layer of shields."
