Ryo, having won against who knows what with hydrogen bond, next aimed for hot  water.

However, it was simple.

Ryo saw the prospects of victory.

Ice was created by stopping the vibrations of the water molecules H2O so he could perform the opposite process as well.

In other words, he increased the vibrations of the water molecules.

In the past, Ryo used to do free research during his summer vacation. Of course, it was not using magic ...

Place water in a thermos bottle, cover it, and shake!

After shaking about 2000 times, the temperature of the water rose.

The temperature rose by forcibly increasing the vibration of water molecules.

That was already guaranteed success.

First, he took out the frequently used pail. He’ll try with that.

(<Water supply>)

He cast without chanting. He practiced so that he could do it while either chanting or not.

The same as when he created the ice lens, he prepared about 10cm deep worth of water.

Then, he held both hands over it and imagined the H2O molecules in his head.

Then, he vibrated them!

.......

“Eh?”

There was no change in the water in the pail. It didn’t feel like steam was coming out.

When he placed his hand in the water, he didn’t feel any temperature change.

“Why?”

Was his H2O image insufficient?

After imagining it more clearly ... vibrate!

“The temperature isn’t going up.”

Even though it should work if he reversed the process he used to make ice.

“What else did I do that time ...”

He thought about his actions.

“ ... Ah, before stopping the water molecule vibrations, I combined the molecules. Maybe I have to do the opposite as well.”

He once again held both hands over the water in the pail and summoned the image in his head.

An image of breaking the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and allowing free movement.

And then imagining each molecule vibrating.

Splash

Suddenly, hot water blew up as though a geyser spouted out from the pail.

“Hotttt”

Ryo managed to somehow avoid the falling geyser.

It would have been terrible if he got burnt. Water magic has no healing aspect after all...

That said, it was great that he succeeded in making hot water.

However, the current problem was that it was terrifying to attempt this unstable boiling water technique (Ryo-style definition) in a bath.

It would be a disaster if the stone bath broke.

So how should he do it?

That’s when he decided.

“I just have to practice!”

Increase his proficiency.

Experience success and failure countless times.

Slowly increase the number of times he succeeds.

Experiencing success many times would lead to confidence.

His lunch was also the same surprisingly unfrozen dried meat in the storage as yesterday ... for some reason, only the dried meat was not frozen in the cold room ... he repeatedly generated hot water while chewing.

It was about 3 pm in Earth hours judging from the time the sun moved across the sky.

Ryo suddenly felt dizzy and couldn’t stand.

“My consciousness is swaying ...”

It was his first magic depletion.

He drank a little of the freshly generated water from the pail and somehow managed to reach the bedroom before collapsing and letting go of his consciousness.

The third day after arriving on 『Phi』.

“Reflection on yesterday. Let’s use up my magical power after taking a bath.”

Ryo spoke out loud and reflected.

It seemed that it felt unpleasant to sleep without taking a bath.

As expected of a former Japanese.

It was then he noticed something.

“I only have the clothes I’m wearing now.”

That’s right, in this home prepared by Michael (pseudonym), there were no clothes prepared.

“Thinking back, what was Michael (pseudonym) wearing?”

Something like a toga worn by ancient Roman aristocrats ...?

Well, at any rate, there was no cloth in the °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° house.

No, there was one. The cloth used as his bed.

But that was necessary for sleeping!

“Well, nobody is watching so if it came to that, I have the choice of not wearing anything.”

But even in the paintings of Adam and Eve, their crotch was hidden by leaves ...

“When I eventually hunt animals, maybe I can wrap some skin around my waist.”

Ryo had always been a man who didn’t care about what he wore.

Now that he had decided on the direction for his clothes (did he?).

He had fire,  water, and food.

In that case, it was finally time.

Right, a means of attack using water magic!

He had two months until the food in storage was exhausted.

Until then, he must become able to leave the barrier and procure food.

His only weapon was the knife prepared by Michael (pseudonym).

The man who made a name for himself using a knife on Earth ... was not Ryo so he had zero confidence in hunting animals or monsters that attack him using that knife.

In the first place, it is almost impossible to defeat even a normal wild boar with a single knife ...

It would be insane to attempt to cross a forest in 『Phi』 where monsters roam with just a single knife.

In that case, the only weapon Ryo could use was his water attribute magic.

“I wish I had the skills to make a bow and arrow and shoot it but I don’t have such a thing.”

Yesterday, when he made the ice lens, he thought that he could one day make an ice spear.

But it was still impossible.

Just making the water in front of his eyes into ice took a few minutes ... making a spear in front of his prey and sending it flying ... was not very realistic.

In that case, what can he send flying?

<Water> and <Water supply> both freely fall to the ground after coming out from his hand. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Right, first of all, he had to use something like a water ball.

He raised his right hand forward and made a mental image.

An image of him creating a water ball the size of his head and launching it from his right hand.

“<Water ball>”

Splash

Just like his image, a ball of water about the size of a head was launched from his right hand and flew.

It was about the speed of a basketball pass?

After flying about 10 meters, it fell to the ground.

“Ooo~!”

Ryo did a slight dance of joy from his first attack spell (?)

This time, he’ll fire it at the trunk of a tree about 7 meters away!

Splash .... drip

The trunk got wet with water.

“Yeap, it has no attack power, I knew it from the start.”

Ryo said as he collapsed to both his hands and knees. It was a pose of despair.

“But I have a trump card!”

Ryo immediately stood up and declared.

“If water ball doesn’t work, I just have to release a water jet.”
