Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (Indonesia):Volume 4 Preamble

Modern Magic

Hell of Fire and Water (Inferno) Sihir yang memunculkan energi panas dalam wilayah yang ditetapkan. Area dingin dan panas terjadi secara bersamaan di daerah yang berdekatan.

Niflheim Sihir Area Tipe Deceleration-Attribute Oscillation-System Magic. Hawa Panas di dalam Area, terlepas dari atribut (Tahap) didinginkan secara merata. Akibatnya, Banyak massa udara dingin yang berisi kabut nitrogen cair, Diamond Dust (Jarum Es), dan partikel es kering terbentuk.

Dry Blizzard Sihir yang mengumpulkan karbon dioksida di udara untuk menghasilkan partikel es kering. Es kering terbang dengan kecepatan tinggi dengan mengubah energi panas yang dihasilkan oleh proses pembekuan menjadi energi kinetik.

Thunder Snake Path (Slithering Thunders) Seperti[Dry Blizzard], batuan es kering diproduksi dan uap air yang terkondensasi. Sihir Kombinasi ini menggunakan Oscillation-Sistem dan Dispersion-Sistem Magic untuk melelehkan es, menciptakan kabut karbon dioksida yang memiliki konduktivitas listrik tinggi di mana listrik statis mengalir melaluinya.

Rupture Sihir Tipe Dissipation-System magic. Menguapkan semua cairan dalam suatu benda. Dalam kasus organisme hidup, cairan tubuh akan menguap dan tubuh akan meledak. Semua bahan bakar akan menguap dalam mesin pembakaran internal atau sel bahan bakar. Karena hampir semua mesin memiliki cairan dari beberapa jenis, seperti pelumas, pendingin, cairan hidrolik, minyak, atau cairan baterai, mereka akan langsung dihancurkan oleh [Ledakan] atau hanya berhenti bekerja.

Flight Magic Sihir untuk bergerak melalui udara melalui kontrol gravitasi. Hal ini pernah dianggap mustahil, menggunakan durasi yang sangat singkat (standar 0,5 detik) dari rangkaian Aktivasi, kesulitan yang disebabkan oleh peningkatan Interferensi Kekuatan langsung dibersihkan. Hal ini dimungkinkan untuk terus terbang selama penggunanya tidak kehabisan kekuatan sihir.

Vanishing Clouds, Fog Dispersal (Mist Dispersion) By interfering with the structural information, this magic decomposes substances into molecules such as ions and the basic elements. Direct interference into the structural information of an object is a form of magic of the highest difficulty.

Magic Dissolution (Gram Dispersion) This magic takes a Magic Ritual and decomposes it into a group of Psion particles without a meaningful structure. Due to the nature of a Magic Ritual acting on the information of an object accompanying a phenomenon, if the information has not been exposed, it is impossible to interfere with the magic. On the other hand, if the Magic Ritual is decomposed, the phenomenon will not occur. To analyze the magic before the magic is activated in the present age where invocation takes a fraction of a second requires the ability to [See] and analyze the magic structure. Since the user is typically required to understand the magic being used beforehand, it is thought utilization of this magic is impossible.

Magic Dismantling (Gram Demolition) A mass of compressed Psion particles are thrown directly at an object and explode. Any Activation Sequence or Magic Ritual recorded into the Psion Information Body is blown away. Though it is called magic, it is simply a cannonball of Psions that has neither structure nor a Magic Ritual to modify an event, so it is not affected by Zone Interference. Furthermore, the pressure of the cannonball also repels the effects of Cast Jamming. It has no physical effects and cannot be hindered by any obstacle.

Though this competition has the fewest number of games of all in the Nine-Schools Competition, the play time is typically the longest. During the game, Players must continuously invoke magic to leap into the air. It is said the burden is similar to running a full marathon. The Nine-Schools Competition Mirage Bat is an event held only amongst women. With their elaborate costumes and how they fly around, they are often likened to fairies.

Monolith Code Amongst Players, this game is called [Monolith]. It is a men's only game.
