However, there was one part of the “food” category that was slow to progress: the rice. He still had quite a large store of unhulled rice for sowing and eating that he’d picked from the wetlands in the northern part of the forest.

What Ryo wanted was to improve the rice. In order to accomplish that goal, he needed to create a rice paddy. Though he understood what he needed to do, the logistics were a little complicated... For example, if he could use earth magic, tilling the land might be easier. If that wasn’t possible, he could at least use earth magic to make his own hoe and till the land himself.

The only problem was that he could only use water magic.

“No earth magic, no farming tools, no plow horse either. How am I supposed to cultivate the land like this?”

He just couldn’t envision a way to succeed.

In the meantime, he decided to stake a few Icicle Lances in the area he wanted to designate for a rice paddy.

“Icicle Lance 2.”

Thud.

Hm.

He wasn’t sure about this.

“What if I drop them from the sky instead? Icicle Lance 128.”

One hundred twenty-eight Icicle Lances appeared twenty meters above, then fell to the ground to mark the rice paddy’s proposed location and dimensions.

Thud, thud, thud.

They pierced the earth.

“Oh, huh... Well...they’re piercing the ground, which is good...but that’s about it, huh? Wonder if I can make them break afterward...”

In his mind, Ryo visualized one of the lances exploding...

“I should protect myself first.”

He was in the garden inside the barrier, so there was no real reason to clad himself in his Ice Armor.

“5-layer Ice Wall.”

His sturdiest form of defense would protect him from the (planned) blast. It wouldn’t hinder his work either since the wall was transparent.

With that done, he visualized one of the Icicle Lances exploding.

Crack.

The result wasn’t much of an explosion. The ice shattered, gently casting shards of ice here and there.

“This isn’t going to work for tilling...”

On his second attempt, he imagined the Icicle Lance separating into smaller crystals before exploding. Pheeew. The ice broke again and scattered all over the place, but each of the shards were even smaller than before.

“Yeah, this definitely isn’t going to work...”

Ryo really wanted the ice to explode, but he couldn’t make it break with enough force. He wondered where he’d gone wrong.

“When it comes to making water explode, there’s that experiment where you can put sodium in the water to make it happen. That’s not realistic in this case, which leaves a phreatic eruption...?”

A phreatic explosion is a phenomenon that occurs when a high-temperature substance such as magma comes into contact with a low-temperature substance such as groundwater. The resulting contact instantly turns water into steam. When water becomes steam, its volume expands by approximately 1,700 times, causing an explosive phenomenon.

“I don’t have any high-temperature substances, but if I turned Icicle Lance itself instantly into steam, it would cause a phenomenon similar to a phreatic eruption...”

The idea was to increase the vibrational frequency of the H2O water molecules, just like he had when he first learned to boil water.
