Disturb Magic is essentially using one's own mana to interfere with the opponent's process of releasing mana to mobilize magical elements.
Disrupting this process ultimately causes the opponent's magic to fail.
Disturb Magic has no incantation. I don't know if mastering chantless magic is necessary to use Disturb Magic, but so far, I haven't heard of anyone other than chantless magic users employing it.
The way this magic is cast resembles ancient elven magic more. So it probably isn't a modern elven creation using incantations.
This magic strongly counters mages who rely on incantations. After all, no matter how shortened the incantation, when the opponent is chanting, it's the perfect time to use Disturb Magic to interrupt them.
Conversely, when casting chantless magic, it doesn't matter if the opponent interrupts. If you disrupt me, I can immediately generate another spell.
The interrupted magic doesn't consume the caster's mana pool, but the person using Disturb Magic does expend mana.
And because there's no incantation, it's hard for the opponent to pinpoint when I'm forming the magic.
My days passed in this manner, divided between researching magic and... women.
Until one day, while serving as Ariel's Guardian Knight at the student council, I unexpectedly received a piece of news.
The student council received an application. A student named Serent Seventhstar applied to add a food called 'onigiri' (rice balls) to the cafeteria menu.
The application included the specific method for making onigiri and even had a sketch.
Triangular rice balls with dried seaweed wrapped around the bottom. Basically identical to the Japanese onigiri I remembered.
I, of course, knew that Serent Seventhstar was the other transmigrator in this world, Shizuka Nanase.
Upon seeing this application, Ariel was very pleased. She even told me:
'Dorin, did you know? In this Ranoa Magic University, the person I find most talented is this Serent Seventhstar.
'Her various ingenious ideas constantly make me see her in a new light, even though I've never heard of her having particularly strong magical prowess.
'But her inventions are all very meaningful. Did you know? The sukiyaki hot pot we ate together last time and even the school uniforms we currently wear were invented by her.
'Also, she seems to have many invention designs and patents outside the university. This has made her very wealthy. Often, merchants selling magic crystals come to her with large quantities.
'I've tried to win her over, but unfortunately, she seems to lack nothing, so all my attempts have failed.'
Ariel seemed to really like Shizuka's inventions. Should I also come up with some inventions in the future to amuse her? On second thought, better not. That could easily lead her to suspect there's something off about my identity.
Before I am strong enough, I don't plan to reveal my secrets to those around me.
Watching Ariel quickly approve Serent Seventhstar's request and dispatch an attendant to coordinate with her on the specific implementation and the profit-sharing after the food was sold in the school cafeteria,
I had a sudden idea. Wasn't this a good opportunity to make contact with Shizuka? So I enthusiastically took on the task of negotiation.
Ariel didn't seem suspicious. Perhaps she simply didn't care how many women I had outside?
The next day, carrying the document signed by Ariel, I went to the research laboratory where Serent Seventhstar was located.
Her laboratory was very remote. The area was mostly filled with plants; it must have been in a corner of the campus.
If I hadn't asked the gatekeeper for directions beforehand, I would never have found the place on my own.
Her laboratory was a three-story stone building, cylindrical, somewhat resembling a pillbox from World War II.
I knocked on the main door and stated my purpose and identity.
After about ten minutes or so, the door finally opened.
A woman wearing a deep blue magic robe, a plain white mask with no patterns on her face, and black hair opened the door.
She wasn't very tall, probably just reaching 1.6 meters. When standing next to me, the top of her head only reached my shoulder. She had a slender build.
In this world, this kind of deep black hair was the first I'd seen. Most people here had brown hair. Many ordinary citizens in Asura had wheat-colored hair. Pure black like this was a first.
Because of the mask, only her brown eyes were visible. Based on these external features alone, she indeed looked Japanese.
Although I was sent to this world by a truck in Japan, I am not Japanese. I am a living, breathing Chinese person, so I don't know much Japanese.
I only know some simple greetings learned from watching anime before; I can't read the characters at all.
After entering, I followed her up to the second floor.

The first floor seems to be her storeroom, filled with many magical tools and magic materials.
The second floor is where she conducts her magic research, and the third floor is probably her living quarters. Of course, there was no way she would take me up there for a tour.
Her research room gave me a familiar feeling, making me try to recall where I had seen it before.
Oh, right. It's the room of my magic teacher, Bladiconde. It was basically a typical example of being dirty, messy, and poor.
Inside the room, there were piles of draft papers stacked like small mountains, magic crystals placed in various boxes, and many strange and bizarre props.
