Even in Dream World

Image training during class began, and I felt like I was in a different world.

I ask, "I should have been in class, right?"

Enuma confirmed, "That’s right. But with the magic you recently contracted, you now reside in the spiritual world that your mind has created. "

An empty world of pure white that spans out infinitely in every direction. The differences from reality are supposed to be obvious, yet for some reason I feel that my consciousness is clear.

Enuma lecturing, "The magic that you attained a while ago. Fantasy Magic, Doman, this is magic that invites the target person into the desired dream. At times I dream when I sleep, but I am capable of intentionally conjuring the dream I want."

I gasped, "Dream intentionally"

Enuma said "But, as you have only learned this magic, this is as much as you can do. However, upon improving your skills, you will be able to dream of whatever you desire." 

I learned it during the break after the first hour at the academy. The magic contract was implemented as Enuma had instructed in the back of the school building.

Just like the Automatic Calculation Magic, Excel, I drew the magic circle and performed a chant according to his instructions. And when I cast the spell at the start of the next class, it came to this.

I ask, "Then, when I go to bed next time, if I cast Domain at the same time as ‘that hella long-looking ancient language chant’, will I be able to see ‘any kind of dream’?"

Enuma confirmed, "This is so. A dream of conquering the world. To be surrounded by women. Anything."

Can you have any dream you want? Then, even if it’s a dream, it’s delicious. I want to try a lotta stuff right away. 

Enuma continued, "However, this magic requires a degree of sophistication and imagination. Even if you dream of conquering the world, if the level you can imagine is low and lacks palpability, you can only reproduce half-hearted images."

Curiosity got the best of me, I asked, "About that. For example, just an example, but I don’t have any intention of using it for such a thing. Even if I dream of doing ecchi stuff with Sadie, I’ve never seen Sadie naked, so will I produce only low-level results there?"

Enuma agreed, "You are not mistaken, but do not be astonished. Rather, how has he not realized that his mind is wide open?"

No, there is no problem even if he is surprised. I just been taught some awesome magic. Regardless of if it just my adolescent mindset. Right now, when I used this magic, I didn’t think about anything in particular, and it was my first time using it, so it ended up like this. If I could improve the quality of this magic more. If I could know more about Sadie’s body, even though it’s a dream.

Enuma decided to provide more clarity, saying "But you should be cautious. It is a dream after all, but it can be reproduced as far as the intention of the wielder. Therefore, it has been known to create addicts that are too engrossed in dreams and become blind to reality."

Since I still inexperience, I asked "What?"

Enuma continued, "As such, this magic was prohibited in the demon world. In a certain country, the populace engaged in dreams that were convenient for them, and as a result of escaping from reality, it was a place where they were so abandoned that they perished."

I dejected said, "You know, you should have told me that kind of heavy story before I signed up for the magic!"

Dreams become an addiction. Sure, if what Enuma was saying was true, it could have happened. In the world of this dream, she’s so cute, she’s sweet on me, she’s feminine, if I get some bouncy boobs of course.

Enuma said, "It is not this, to be so low as a man. Just make it happen in the real world."

Enuma showed a frightening face that as I understood I could get in my dream. Astonished I reply, "Oh!? Enuma, I see everything I’m thinking is being overheard. No, before that! This is my dream, why are you here!?"

Yes, I’m currently dreaming this. But why is Enuma in my dream and lecturing me? 

Enuma acknowledged this and said, "You and I have a spiritual connection. In other words, if you dream, you will share it with me."

I was floored, gasping "Say what!?"

Enuma said, "Well, I had no means of confirmation, but it seems that the hypothesis was correct. With this, I can train you efficiently even during the wasteful class!"

Don’t tell me, even in the dream, we’re stuck together. Then, anytime I use this magic, he will be right there! If I get naughty with Sadie in the dream, this guy be watching.

Enuma said with sadness, "I am not particularly witnessing the scene, but as I can tell no one, it should be fine."

I stammered, "Don’t go. No! Just don’t go there."

Just the idea of knowing in the future that this Demon King will be watching, it is truly nightmare. Ah, crike! I thought I had learned great magic with great pains.

Enuma changing the subject, says "Anyway. Let us commence the training. Warm-up and martial art such as ladder training and stretching are to be performed in reality. This is how muscular mass is actually gained. As such, here we shall focus on the forbidden spells."

As I hung my head and he pretended not to recognize my mood, the training lesson began.

I realized something else that was off. Saying, "Ah. Because this is a dream. It doesn’t make sense to improve physical skills and magic in this world, and you can’t learn any new magic. After all, this is a dream. It’s not real."

Enuma replied, "You need not worry about that. As I said earlier, this magic confuses reality with dreams. So, getting the confidence to be capable in this world is definitely useful in the real world."

I ask, "Is that how you did it?"

Enuma confirmed, "Of course. And the magic you will attempt in this world. Although it is forbidden, you do not require a contract."

While reiterating the importance of image training, Enuma said something strange. Magic that doesn’t require a contract.

Enuma lecturing said, "Well, I share this spiritual world just like you. In other words, in this spiritual world even you are within a spiritual body… Nmm!"

It should not have been possible in the spirit body, light which seems to be magical covers his body, and the light turns into a red steam.

Enuma lecturing, "It is also possible to reproduce the old magic with an image! Huhahaha, I had developed this myself. This Domain is also quite the profound!"

Enuma further elaborated, "This, rather than magic. It is something controlled using only magic power. In other words, this is not magic but a technique."

Magic control technique. 

Enuma gleefully said, "If you learn this technique, you will eventually be capable of this. One of my favorite deathblows."

Seeing the red steam start to move in circle motion. I gasp. 

Enuma describing the technique, "Dense and sharpened, the magical power that overflows as steam. Focus it to inflate, hardens. And if you can afford it, give it shape, and if you can afford it, make it spin!"

I still agape, "Huh!? It is Huge"

It is big. It’s big as a house or a building. The magic gathered in Enuma’s right fist overflowed, turning it into a sharp, rotating spiral.

Enuma citing his magic, said "Devil Spiral Break! Well, this is impossible with just two months, but eventually you shall be able to do this."

Why, every time. This guy is so amazing, but his naming is shit! 

Enuma said, "Name aside. Well, this is good to learn step by step. First of all, this power I shall beat the image of this magnitude into you."

I get nervous and shout at the Demon King, "Hey, w-wait!? Is it, you’re pissed at me right now aren’t you!?"

Enuma sneered with anticipation, "Here it comes! Devil Spiral Break!"

It was worse than Phantom Sparring. Because it seems in a dream world, he can actually attack me. To experience the flesh instantly shredded and broken down into dust. No, really, it’s a dream world, but it’s a ridiculous experience.

I don’t know if it hurts anymore, I mean, to receive such a black-hearted attack. In the first place, this what he’s going to teach me, such a ridiculous technique.

I react to my dream and say “No, Devil Spiral, it’s already a decent name!”

My eyes open and find what looks like my classroom. The instructor seems angry at the people in the class who looked back in shock. 

Enuma muttered to me as I did not understand the situation, "The effect of the magic seems to have expired."

The instructor said “Oh, Devil Spiral. You’ve been slacking lately, haven’t you?”

I retort embarrassed, “… Um, no.”

Instructor furrowed his eyebrows in anger, “Apparently you’re not paying attention, and busy dreaming.”

On that day, I was called the Devil Spiral.
