Puppeteer of the DanMachi World

Meitellia said happily, "Ming Ge, you've developed a new concept."

Vacuum Blade with an attribute was more powerful and consumed less energy, but that did not mean learning Magic Blade was useless, because Magic Blade was more for training one's control over magic power.

An innately acquired magic could never meet the requirements of a spell as powerful as Vacuum Blade.

In other words, the innately acquired magic of this world was not even as strong as the magic Ming Ge had developed in just a few days. One could imagine just how underdeveloped innately acquired magic was in this world.

As for acquired magic, Ming Ge's Vacuum Blade possessed the power of a short-chant spell and had already completely surpassed innately acquired magic.

For example—Flame Lightning.

Setting aside the effects of its charge-up skill, Flame Lightning was not necessarily more useful than Vacuum Blade, because it was part of a series of spells.

Even a slight change in a spell's form made it a different spell, requiring a second magic slot—that is, a second type of magic.

"Judging by magic alone, what level would my combat strength reach?"

Ming Ge asked curiously.

"Probably the level of an lv1 with maximum ability values."

Meitellia thought for a moment before saying, "But my sister's sound magic has explosive power that surpasses Vacuum Blade."

"I see..."

Ming Ge fell into thought.

Lv1 adventurers were lower-class adventurers, while lv2 and above were upper-class adventurers. Between upper-class and lower-class adventurers stood an insurmountable high wall.

Conversely, there was also an insurmountable high wall between lv1 adventurers and non-adventurers.

In a sense, lv1 was the limit of humanity, while lv2 was superhuman.

An lv2 adventurer surpassed Ming Ge in both strength and speed. It was only natural that he could not win.

But Alfia's sound magic possessed an almost impossible-to-block trait. Even when she had just become an adventurer, she could pin an lv2 to the wall.

No wonder people feared her and called her a 'monster of talent.'

"Vacuum Blade is complete—what should I use next to continue training my magic power?"

The best way to improve the quality of one's magic power was to use magic, constantly repeating the process of depletion and recovery.

Thus, magic power control and magic power growth could be trained at the same time.

The benefits of superior control over magic power had already become apparent.

The greatest benefit was that it improved the efficiency of training innately acquired magic, raised one's upper limit, and allowed one to better 'create' magic.

After finishing his training with Vacuum Blade, Ming Ge needed a new method for training his control over magic power.

Immediately—immediately—Ming Ge thought of two methods.

The Rasengan from Naruto, along with tree climbing and water walking.

However, recreating the Rasengan as a spell would consume a great deal of magic power with every experiment and could easily trigger a magic power rampage.

Therefore, Ming Ge planned to first learn the two applications of wall climbing and water walking.

Given the nature of magic power, they could be completely recreated.

By channeling magic power through his hands and feet, he could create attraction and reactive force, achieving the basic techniques from Naruto.

As long as he used chants to guide it, he would soon be able to accomplish this. After that, all that remained was practice.

With that in mind, Ming Ge pressed both hands against the wall.

"First, attraction."

By changing the properties of his magic power and directly producing an adhesive force, Ming Ge generated a powerful attraction in his palms.

Ming Ge lifted himself slightly and hung from the wall.

Controlling the force, he added attraction to his feet as well, then clung to the wall in an odd posture.

"That posture..."

As Meitellia looked at Ming Ge's posture, her face could not help but flush slightly.

"What are you thinking?"

Ming Ge looked at Meitellia and teased her.

Perhaps because Ming Ge's control over magic power was already very refined, he quickly completed this step and hung from the wall with his feet.

It was just that gravity made Ming Ge, whose core strength was insufficient, look far less dashing than a 'ninja.'

"I'm thinking about something fun."

Meitellia replied with a straight face, then burst out laughing.

"Then you'd better get well soon. Once you learn to climb walls, we can do 'fun' things together."

Ming Ge laughed as well.

Maintaining his posture, he instantly changed the adhesive force into reactive force, allowing himself to run up the wall.

Through the alternating effects of the magic, Ming Ge quickly completed this step.

Instead, it took more time to train his stamina and the method of running across walls and ceilings.

Since water walking had no suitable environment to assist it, he could only use a basin of water as a substitute for the time being. Ming Ge likewise quickly mastered the amount of force he needed to apply.

In just three hours, Ming Ge had completed both steps, and his magic power was nearly depleted.

Compared to when he had first completed the ritual, Ming Ge's magic power had increased by more than double. This was also the result of his day-and-night training during this period.

Having completed this step, Ming Ge fell into distress.

How should he train next?

The Rasengan?

Thinking of that, a day later, Ming Ge recreated the Rasengan and learned Spiral Magic.

It was not merely an irregularly rotating sphere of magic power; he even learned its advanced forms.

In Naruto, the Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasengan, and Wind Release: Rasenshuriken were three different ninjutsu.
