Magic (2)
There weren’t many people in the library. It may be late now, and above all because it is not yet exam period.
I was suddenly called during exercise, so I was wondering what to do…
‘Teaching you magic.’
Perhaps he was planning to teach it in earnest, and on the desk was a thick magic book with a blue cover that Rein Castell had brought.
Judging from the thickness and appearance of the cover, it is a precious item with even advanced magic written on it. Since it is not sold in the game, it is impossible to know the exact price, but it is a very valuable item.
“The magic I will teach you is ‘Waterball’. That’s the magic I used back then. It may seem like a simple magic to others, but it’s actually an intermediate level of difficulty to learn.”
Castell opened the magic book to me and pointed to the sentence.
I don’t know why, but it’s written in Korean. The automatic translation magic enchantment seems to be on the way too.
“As you read this part, listen carefully to the explanation.”
“Water attribute magic is the only type of liquid magic among attribute magic. Because it has weight, it needs more concentration than other attribute magic to maintain its shape—”
I tried not to fall asleep while listening to Castell’s explanation. After exercising, and after taking a shower, sitting in a warm library, my body is tired and I naturally fall asleep.
In fact, there was no meaning in Castell’s sincere teaching. All of the things I learned when I came to this world in the first place are thanks to the perks.
This time, I was going to learn the 39th perk by asking other magic circles to show me the magic with it activated somehow…
I didn’t know that Rhine Castell would go out and teach me directly. After all, he’s a guy who practices noblesse oblige.
‘I’m a traitor.’
Castell’s boring explanation continued for a long time, and I quietly stretched out to overcome the gradually approaching beast of sleep. Castell glanced at me and snorted, “Hmm.”
“It’s a face that you don’t know too well. I understand. Let’s take a break for a while.”
“Yeah. Let’s get some rest.”
I swallowed the rising yawn. Looking to the side, Russell Tails is studying with thick books on it.
He’s also diligent. He was even wearing glasses he had never worn before and was looking at a book.
“What are you doing?”
Tails answered, filling in the notes with handwriting.
“I need to prepare for the midterm exam.”
“… Already? There’s about a month left.”
“Because there is only that much left. This time, the weight of the theory has also increased.”
‘Russell Tales’, who has the most personality in the game, is the class A leader and is in a position like the main character’s classmate. As you can see now, I study hard and get good grades.
For reference, there was also a sub-quest to help Tails crammed when Noah Park was engrossed in her studies because of various incidents.
I shrugged and said.
“Then, I have a question for you.”
“Park Noah and Arwell. How are you in Class A these days? We talked a lot because of special cases.”
“Um, those two?”
Tails looked at me for an unexpected name and put down the pen. About two weeks have already passed since the entrance ceremony. I wondered what their reputation was by now. It would be troublesome if Arwell’s bullying still continued.
‘In the game, by now, I had an amicable relationship with my classmates.’
Tails folded his arms and stared into the air, pondering and opening his mouth.
“Um. It was pretty bad at first. Most of them were wary of Noah, and Rian was a unique race called a weapon man.”
Even at the Meteor Academy, there are aspiring heroes who are of different races like elves. However, since they are a familiar race, there is no objection, but Arwell was more wary because he was a special admission student for an extremely rare race.
Above all, he was a timid personality who couldn’t speak well, so it would have been easier for him to be targeted.
Castell, who was listening to the conversation, threw out a word.
“I can’t understand such bullying. Why didn’t you prove that the special case was granted by defeating Younha Oh?”
“I agree with Line’s idea. But most of them didn’t accept it that way. But if it’s the other class, we’re getting along well now. As you can see, Noah is a bit cool? I’m trying to give.”
“I’m glad.”
Are you also the main character? With this, Aiden must have had an affinity that made him jealous.
I was intrigued by Arwell’s dirty workout clothes that I saw last time, but it seems that’s not the case now. Or was it that only those extras bothered me in the first place?
“Um. I recently learned the expression to use in such a case.”
“What do you say?”
“He said so-called ‘Insa’.”
“What’s that expression? Is that the wrong expression?”
“By the way, were you and those two acquaintances in the first place?”
When I asked about the two, Tales seemed curious too. I shook my head and answered.
“No. It’s not. I met Arwell when I was admitted to the hospital for a while. At that time, I heard that he was a special student at the Yoosung Academy.”
“Don’t ignore it.”
“Oh, there’s something I wanted to ask too. How do you know Ellen? It’s the first time I’ve seen her be friendly with anyone first.”
“Uh… that’s it?”
I can’t explain. It’s a bit harsh to say that I got involved with the force that was trying to catch him and somehow became close.
“Wait. Let’s stop chatting and start class again.”
I shook my head and thought about it, and, thankfully, Castell cut off the conversation. The expression on her face shows that she doesn’t want to hear it. I shrugged and said.
“Let’s study, the teacher.”
“… Seo Ji-han-kun. Let me show you the part I taught you earlier.”
“You always have to do it yourself, don’t you? Try it.”
…it’s difficult. I’ll show you what I’ve heard. I thought I couldn’t stand still, so I tried to imitate it.
As he moved mana according to his will, the mana rod that stretched like a vein became clear. Then Castel rolled up his sleeve as if he had grabbed her pod.
“No. What did you say? The basics of the waterball technique should be laid out like this.”
Riding on Castell’s exposed forearms, the mana rods glowed up to the back of his hands.
okay. It’s nice to show you this.
“Is this okay?”
It is not difficult to simply follow. Whoa! When I reproduced Castell’s Mana Road as it is, Castell was slightly embarrassed.
“···Hmm. It’s easy to understand. But we must not forget that it is the basics. In the case of magic of the water attribute, the subsequent process is more difficult—.”
Ummm, of course, but the basic structure is different from when using ice magic. I use a lot of straight lines to say that I use a wider mana rod, but I use less lines that connect to other mana rods sideways.
‘… Then, if it was water, would it feel like this?’
I moved my mana as if I was possessed by something.
[Special. 32 – The effect of ‘The One Who Sees the End of the Runaway’ is activated.]
[Increases the speed of ‘water attribute’ magic, reduces mana consumption, and deals with moisture.]
[Waterball]
Mana was consumed and a huge water ball was formed on the desk in an instant.
“···what?’
Castell and Tails froze when they see a water ball appearing in the air. As I lost my mind in the current situation, my concentration naturally relaxed. The centripetal point that holds the water ball disappears, and soon the shape collapses.
Tales quickly judged the situation and put the books away, but the magic book was still on the desk.
👌👌👌👌👌 The wreckage of the water ball fell straight down on it. Some of them were absorbed by the magic book, and the rest were soaked in desks, clothes, and even the floor.
“Uh, … uh.”
Rein Castell got up from his seat with a bewildered expression. He was in an awkward posture, not even paying attention to wet clothes and not even touching the damp magic book.
Meanwhile, the phone vibrates. I blankly checked the notification.
[[Waterball] Acquired.]
It wasn’t until I saw the notification that I knew for sure what had just happened.
········Without the power of the privilege, he had only learned magic. at once too.
I looked at my hand and said quietly.
“…something. If it’s an apology, I’ll accept it now.”
“I guess I’m a genius.”
Silence passed for a while. Then Castell pushed the desk and grabbed me by the collar.
“This bastard is real!!!”
“Khehe!”
The prince forgot about his body and even spit out swear words. Tales hurriedly stopped, but the situation was barely settled until the librarian arrived.
Of course, the disaster was also discovered, so we were scolded and had to wipe the wet desks and floors with a damp cloth.
“My book….”
“They say it will dry properly if you put it in the refrigerator.”
When I heard a murmur, I looked up and wiped the floor. I’m worried that he’ll ask me to give the price of the magic book.
‘Why did the magic suddenly appear?’
As I thoroughly thought about it while cleaning, I got a rough idea of the reason. The heterogeneous knowledge in my head that I had forgotten for a while. Their presence was no longer felt.
‘···Certainly.’
It seems that magical knowledge has quietly melted into my body.
Park Noah brushed her sweat-soaked bangs. Her hair was also neatly tied in a handful, but sweat was dripping from the bare white nape of her neck.
Arwell said when Noah Park drew a lead sword.
“Noah-nim. You look tired, but I think it would be better to finish this today.”
“It’s okay. I’m going out in a few days, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm up in advance.”
Noah Park smiled with a tired face. Her expression is the same, but her body has been worn out for a long time.
The ‘expression’ used by Noah Park in battle is a kind of ‘shortcut’ in which acceleration magic is forcibly applied to the body as a superposition. Because of that, the burden on the body returned as it was, and the after-effects such as muscle pain were reduced by training in advance.
“Rather than that, if there’s a good quest for Rihanna, you should bring it right away. We’re running out of money now.”
“Yeah! I’m looking for it hard.”
Currently, Noah Park is not receiving any help from the family because of her stubbornness. At first, she had no problem because she had a plan to save the money she had saved up and receive money by request.
However, after Instructor Layette invited him to a high-class restaurant and ran away without paying, the consumption plan that he had barely worked out for several days was ruined in an instant.
Yoosung Academy said that it would provide a full scholarship, but as a special case, I couldn’t even get it.
‘···It is difficult.’
When he came out of the tower, he realized how much he had grown as a flower in the greenhouse. There are so many things to be concerned about alone on Earth. Financial issues and personal relationships.
Rather, I felt more comfortable at that time because I didn’t have to think about anything when fighting.
‘····I don’t want a Mine incident to happen again.’
When Noah Park had dark thoughts, Arwell clapped her hands as if she had suddenly remembered it.
“Oh, right. He came again today.”
“Oh Yun-ha, that person?”
“Yes. I was hiding and watching, but it was a bit scary? He stared intently at how he was practicing.”
Park Noah tilted her head at those words. She hadn’t noticed herself at all. I don’t know if he’s focused too much on training or if he’s good at breaking the signs of Oh Youn-ha.
“I don’t know. Smell?”
“Yes. It smells sweet.”
“You seem like a good person.”
“I think so.”
Arwell said with a bashful smile.
“Did you say that Seo Ji-han will accompany you on this first expedition?”
“Yeah. He said he would. I can’t believe the rumors as well.”
“Eh, rumors?”
“There’s something like that. It’s trivial, so Rihanna doesn’t have to know.”
The day Arwell returned to the hospital, he talked about an aspiring hero named Seo Ji-han, so I did a little research. It was full of bad stories, so I thought it would be a bit of a bummer, but luckily it wasn’t.
‘rather···.’
Park Noah remembered Seo Ji-han, who killed Ma-in and trembled.
“Noah-sama…?”
“Why, Rihanna?”
“You’re laughing all of a sudden.”
“ah.”
Noah Park wiped sweat and smiled brightly.
“Suddenly a funny thought came to my mind.”
