âOh hon! Er⊠the air went crazy because of GakunâŠâ
âMy fault!?â
âGakun shut up for a while. I donât mind teaching magic. Of course, you shouldnât talk too much out of it. Because the way I think is still heretical. Thatâs in mind.â
âYes!â
Miss Halfis replies well. Thatâs a good reply. Marion, whoâs nodding next door, also has a good look on his face. Gakun⊠I donât know.
âItâs just that magic isnât like an answer to figuring out how to make magic work. Instead, perhaps we should call it magic.â
The truth is that magic science uses the knowledge of 'scienceâ of previous life. Itâs abbreviated magic. But Iâm sure Iâm going to learn magic, so I also think itâs right to say magic.
âThey say that magic is a fairly worn opinion compared to magic classes, spirituality and theology, which are mainstream in the Kingdom of Palettia. Theology attaches importance to prayer and faith in the Spirit, but in magic I want those perspectives off if I can.â
âOff point of view, is it?
âItâs magic to figure out whatâs actually happening. So donât stop thinking because I prayed strongly for the process until magic was activated, or because it was a miracle given to me by God or the Spirit. Thatâs the first entrance to magic.â
Question things. And unravel the laws of the world to be your own. Simply put, thatâs the thing. Demonic props are also demonstrations and by-products of that knowledge.
So I donât want you to stop thinking. I want you to keep questioning me. That becomes the first entrance to magic. The questioning begins all the questioning.
âThen what can we do to dispel the doubt? We have to gather information. But what kind of information do we need? In order to gain knowledge, we have to gain the perception that is a prerequisite.â
âIs information important?â
âYeah. Shall we talk about something like that? Suppose I have three apples. I took this one at a time. I mean, there are three people who gave them apples. How many apples did you give me if the information about the number of people you gave me and the number of people you gave me was missing from this story? I wonder how many apples you got from who? Youâre not gonna know, are you? There could be one person who gave him the apple, maybe two. But there will never be more than three. Pick up the possibilities, squeeze the options out of them and look for answers. Itâs been a rough explanation, but I want you to think this is the basics of doing it in magic.â
The more I look at you listening to me, the more I nod and think. Gakun had his arms together and his neck tilted.
âNo, but there were three people who gave the apples to Master Anisphere, so you gave them one at a time, didnât you?
â⊠thatâs what I know because I gave you proper premise information, and it starts by looking for thatâ information âto figure out my doubts.â
âHard!â
He says heâs trying to explain it as plainly as he can, but if heâs gagged. Ugh.
âI mean, itâs a hole filling problem.â
âHole filling?â
âI just know the answer. Then how do we make a ceremony to get that answer? I received three apples as a result. If I add the information on the person who gave them to me and the number of pieces they gave me, that would mean I received three apples, right?
â⊠oh! If there were two of those holes, would one of them have only one apple!
âThatâs right. Maybe theâ process âleading up to it is different, even if it looks like the same answer. Thatâs how itâs important to verify over and over again.â
Well, if itâs as easy as the story goes, Iâm not having a hard time either. Thatâs the infinite number of possibilities if you line them up. Crushing that possibility and deriving only the right answers is an uninterrupted effort.
Still, with the gathering of knowledge and experience, we will also be able to derive answers by intuition. But sometimes I canât find it even though the experience is a simple thing to pull my leg on, so good and bad depends on the time and the circumstances.
âThatâs why I looked into it. The process leading up to the consequences of my inability to use magic. Is the questionâ magic â? Then whatâsâ magic âmade of? Whoâs generating magic? Spirit, right? Then the Spirit must also be examined. Look, thereâs so much to look into. So donât stop questioning me. You canât drown in doubt, though.â
âThat leads to Her Royal Highness Princess Anisphereâs spiritual theoryâŠâ
âMiss Halfis, you have a hard attitude. Ennis is fine. Iâll call it off, too.â
âHuh? Ah, if thatâs what Her Royal Highness Princess Anisphere saysâŠâ
Even though itâs a relationship that I have to teach you a lot from now on, itâs hard for me to do it even if you respect me weirdly. Gakunâs attitude is rather easy-going in that sense, but he still looks like smoke coming out of his head, so it offsets it and is a negative rating.
âWhat do you mean Halfis canât use magic well?
â⊠Iâm less apt, and Iâm a little above the evaluation criteria.â
âMmm. I wonder if itâs the body of magic that the Spirit doesnât like⊠maybe itâs close to meâ
âDo you have the magic that the Spirit prefers?
âFor convenience, Iâm just saying that. They say you can communicate all this. You wonât know until the Great Spirit gives you testimony. In the hypothesis at the moment, magical aptitude fluctuates depending on whether the Spirit is doing the magic of his choice. Some magic is not liked at all by spirits, like me, and others are of such a physical nature that any spirits, like Yufi, will like them.â
âPhysiqueâŠâŠ canât I change that anymore?
Halfis asks me with his glaring eyes, but I shake my neck left and right to deny it.
âI guess you canât. Magic, or what is the source of magic, fills the soul. I define this as like solid blood. Magic power is zero blood out of your soul, so itâs already unique to that person. I canât replace this first. I donât have the means to degenerate it.â
âHas Master Anisphere tried that perversion?
âHmm⊠I guess I would have done it if I wanted to quit humansâ
In other words, a familiar example of perversion is Raini, a vampire. If it changes so much from the nature of existence, I might be able to use magic, too. Iâm just not sure I can stay who I am with that. Similar bridges were crossed.
â⊠you canât increase your magical aptitude if youâre not ready for that.â
âItâs not like you can have more in the first place. Because spirits can eat too much magic and get sick. Sometimes when the balance between soul and magic breaks down, it can make your mind and spirit sick.â
Marion sitting next to Halfis peeks into Halfisâs face worryingly. Halfis has a pretty thoughtful look on his face, so that complex looks pretty deep-rooted.
I wonder if I should be relieved that you relied on me before you stepped off the road. Gakun uttered a voice of doubt when he thought so.
âIs that it? But Dear Anisphere, you can use physical enhancement. How is that?
âItâs ready to be used with products like demonic props. Iâm just not going to spread the word because itâs risky. Itâs inhumane as being forgiven for doing it to yourself.â
â⊠did you even put your hands on that thing?â
âI canât use magic unless I get my hands on it. You donât have a choice. Thatâs why Iâm not going to let people imitate me. Then Iâll tell them to go down the road to develop their magic tools.â
The engraving was donned to Yuffi. And Ilia, your father and your mother are furious with you. Whatever you are, I donât think you should treat someone else. Really.
So Iâll smile gently at Marion, whoâs looking a little pale. Donât worry, I wonât let Halfis do that.
â⊠I donât dislike it, but I donât know what it feels like to haveâ aptitude âin the first place. What does that feel like?
Uffi raises his hand and speaks. The gaze of everyone who was here gathers in Ufi. That was a pretty delicate statement, but I sure as hell never cared about the difference between what I felt when I used Yuffiâs magic.
âWhat is it? Not responding?
âNot responding, is it?
âEven if you chant in prayer or wish, thatâs just a word, isnât it? Even if they put prayer and thoughts on it, it feels like. âCause how do you tell me to grab something Iâm not responding to?
âIs that what Anis feels like? What about the othersâŠ?
â⊠not that Iâm not responding.â
It was Raini who spoke on behalf of Ufi. Raise your hands with a snack and Raini speaks his opinion too.
âIn my case, does it feel like thereâs a difference in weight? If itâs an aptitude attribute, I can help if I push it, but if itâs another attribute, I donât think soâŠâ
âIs it that different?
âYes. Somehow the magic street is bad. So they take the magic to activate it, and itâs best to shape it.â
âI understand! Iâm a similar perception!
Halfis snorts heavily at Rainiâs opinion. If I was next door, I could have taken those two hands and probably waved.
âIn that regard, you were surprised because the magic props are so magical and easy to use,â
âMaybe thatâs because itâs magic thatâs been done since the beginning. Itâs been in shape since the beginning, so I donât think thereâs anyâ extra information âto make it in the form of magic.â
â⊠complete from the beginning? No extra information? Dear Anis, may I ask you a little more about that story!?â
âHuh? Ugh, yeahâ
Halfis has gained a lot of momentum and now heâs eating at me. With a little confusion, I decided to mouth the hypothesis that had just surfaced.
âI am consciously making magic props in the form of tools and so that they do not become versatile so that mass production is easy. For example, you have magic that makes blades out of magic, right? All that magic needs is a blade, but youâre gonna have to figure out whatâs gonna happen to that blade handle part or something, right? But with the magic props, I even prepared aâ sword pattern â, and all I had to do was put out a blade. I could afford to use magic to change the quality of the blade.â
By analogy, âmagicâ is a full scratch that can pack as many features as the skill of the surgeon allows.
âDemon Propsâ has been shaped from the beginning and all you have to do is assemble a template.
Although magic can change its shape as you wish, it requires the ability of the person.
Demonic props have been shaped from the beginning, but there are few parts that depend on the userâs abilities.
âI wonder if many who do not have the aptitude should extremes one magic.â
â⊠oh, you have a real example of thatâ
â⊠who?
âIâm the queen. Master Sylphine has only the aptitude of the wind, but that is the only person who has risen to the top.â
Oh, speaking of which, yes. If it was in that field, you would have had a mother to call Superman. So much so that they say that if you let the wind magic handle you, no one will go out to the right. I hear other attributes are a tease.
Speaking of which, the story deviated from the magic prop, but whatâs the magical feeling that Uffi, with his numerous spiritual aptitudes, uses?
âHow does Uffi feel about using magic?
â⊠is it a puzzleâ
âPuzzle?â
âYep. Iâm not sure the pieces are set, but should I start by making the magic pieces that I want to complete, and then say it feels like collecting them and shaping them?â
âThe feeling of assembling a puzzle even though you havenât decided on a piece? Not painting or something?
âDrawing, is not the same again. It has shape, but do you say it doesnât? Shape and activate magicâŠâ
Iâm sorry, I just donât know. Unexpectedly, Iâll look at all the faces besides Uffi, but theyâre all shaking their necks left and right. I mean, nobody seemed to sympathize with Yufiâs senses.
âIn the first place, I donât know what that puzzle feels likeâ
Donât look at him with your eyes at strange things, Raini.
âOh, but I know it has shape, but it doesnât. ⊠I donât know the puzzleâ
Youâre failing to try to follow me, Halphis.
âI can empathize with gatheringâŠ. I donât know why that would be a puzzle though. Am I a good place, a building block?â
Hey, Gakun! Yufiâs hurt and sheâs dented! Apologize! Itâs surprisingly delicate that you donât seem to move, Yufi!
âUh, maybe itâs a difference in the amount of informationâ
âAmount of information?
âFor example, if you add 1 and 1, itâs 2, right?
âWell, yeahâ
âI think thatâs how magic adds information and makes it. Wouldnât Yufi be good at sensing that information? Though I donât know if everyone with a lot of aptitudes does, or if itâs Yuffiâs unique feeling.â
It was an interesting story because I had never looked at the difference in the senses of people who use magic. Letâs keep a note in our minds.
Then Halfis, who had his hand on his chin to somehow contemplate, looked up with a serious look. That gaze is directed straight at Uffi.
âDear Uphilia, may I ask you a question?
âYes, what is it?
âHow far can Uphilia make that feeling easy?â
Uffi tips his neck to Halfisâs question. Itâs like saying you couldnât read the intent of the question.
âUh⊠briefly?
âIf you say it in the sense of Master Uphilia⊠can you assemble magic with an unlimited number of pieces of the puzzle?
âThatâs possible, of course. For example, there are few pieces of puzzle required for the initial magic that is taught at the college.â
âThatâs it! Perhaps what Ennis callsâ volume of information âis the number and complexity of what Uphilia callsâ pieces â!
âYeah. Well, you know what?â
The âinformationâ that makes up magic, I guess thatâs the âpiece of puzzleâ where Uffi says it feels like assembling magic.
If itâs simple magic, its terms get easier and easier. The puzzle is not complicated, and the number of pieces is decreasing. Thatâs a natural story.
âI hear Master Uphilia has many aptitudes!
âOh, yeahâŠâ
âFor example, can you return the same magic as your opponent?
â⊠if they say itâs possible or impossible, it depends on its magical accuracy, but itâs possible. But the same magic makes a difference with the user, right?
âThatâ difference âis the magicâ unnecessary information â!
Continue as quickly as Halfis got excited. Gakun finally sprayed smoke from his head.
Raini is also tilting his neck. Spraying smoke like Gakun may also be a matter of time.
âThe magic anyone can use is made of natural stories, simple information. If the difficulty increases, so will the information. And magic is built with a sense of the operator. Isnât that the kind of information you donât need to get the magic results?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
â⊠if you say it from that point of view, thereâs even an extra element of what Yufi said aboutâ the power of the surgeon â. Organize the process for generating a phenomenon called magic. I mean, I can optimize.
âDoesnât that mean itâs no different than a demon prop!?â
Halfis says as excited. The word was a shock to me. This kid feels something shiny.
âDemonic props are aids to activate magic intoâ determined shapes from the beginning â! Then, magic, if the user can be fully aware of the aid until it is activatedâŠ!
âIt does make the theory that anyone can produce the magic theyâre after. If they say itâs obvious, yes, but what have you found in pursuit of this obvious? Halphis.â
I get interested in what sheâs trying to find out by reconfirming this fact.
âI have no more magical aptitude or skill than Master Uphilia. Even if you try to make the same magic, it makes a difference between the operators. So can we gather that information and find theâ most efficient form â? You donât just pray, you clearly determine the shape! Yes, fit in the mold! Easier than now, and more elaborate! Wouldnât Master Uphilia be able to assemble that!?â
â⊠me, is it?
Yufi has her eyes round Halfis telling her to roll it up. I couldnât stand the laughter coming up next to it.
âIf you say so, magic formula,â magic formula, âI guess. Itâs also a magical blueprint.â
âNow the attitude towards magic in this country is supposedly drawing strength from the Spirit from prayer, desire, and deep faith. Thatâs why faith and respect are important.â
Thatâs it, then Halfis shakes his neck left and right as he exhales deeply to get his breath ready once.
âBut there is no will in the Spirit if you say so in Dear Annisâs Spiritual Theory. This means that the magic is activated after receiving prayers and wishes with uncertainty. Still, magic activates, so itâs not a mistake, but then itâs natural for the operator to make a difference.â
âIf the operatorâs perception is going to be magic, I think Halfis is right.â
âThatâs why we reassemble a clear image. Rebuild magic theory to optimize magic. Simple magic. Easier, so that everyone has a common image. Isnât that where aptitude and skill come alive for the first time? Even if you make magic like a magic prop, magic is not a magic prop. Because itâs what the surgeon thinks it can build.â
Control magic with the perception of clearer laws, not wishes or prayers. The itinerary of doing an image remains the same, but I wonder if I could say that its contents are something else.
âYeah, but I donât deny faith or prayer, do I? I think thatâs important, too.â
âYes! I donât want to forget to thank or awe the Spirit either! But itâs, itâs this!
Look at my face. With a full smile, Halfis says. Itâs like a flower blossoms.
Iâm a little surprised. It absorbs too quickly. The softness and focus of her head, the rotation of her thoughts, have an eye-opening objectâŠ. Isnât this amazing talent?
â⊠Ufi. Why donât you just try?
âHuh?â
âUffi makes a ceremony called magic.â Redesign âthe magic you have now. The blueprint is drawn by Ufi to spread to the country. What do you say?â
â⊠can I do that?
âNo, if Master Uphilia doesnât do it, who can! If you are the Uphilia, who has been hailed as a rare genius with no example in history!
âIsnât it funny to have Halfis or Marion on that assistant? Wouldnât the Ministry of Magic say strongly if it was a magic reform? Well, you just have to think about it. Even after I became king.â
If I or Uffi become king, we can get a position to change the country. It shouldnât be too late for that.
I create magic props, and Yufi creates magic ceremonies. That was a fun future prospect if you think it might lead to helping each other with their ideas.
Uphilia was wandering her gaze as if she were somewhere frightened. He seemed relieved of the sudden. But it was an idea and a suggestion I couldnât make. I knew there was nothing I could do about magic.
â⊠I donât know what youâre talking about! What do you mean?!?â
â⊠Gah, are you actually an idiot?
âActually, I donât like to think deeply about anything!
Where I say confidently, there!? On the contrary, youâre clean!? Iâm dazzled by the smile I showed you my teeth!?
âUm, I mean, is it okay that little difficult magic gets easier?
âItâs just possible, I donât know if itâs gonna happen.â
âHo. Well, youâve noticed something amazing about Halfis.â
âWhat!? Oh reallyâŠ? I just had a lot of worries about magicâŠâ
I wave left and right and humble myself like Halfis panicked at Gakunâs words.
Itâs easy to say that you may have noticed because thatâs all youâve been sincerely up against magic. Still, I think itâs amazing to listen carefully to people and realize for yourself that it can be assembled as a theory.
âTalent like Halfis is what I wantâ
âHuhâŠ? What does that mean?
âWant to come to Uffiâs assistant? Seriously.â
âAre you my assistant?
âIâm probably going to be out of expertise over there. Then youâre Yuffiâs assistant.â
When I said that, Halfis made his eyes black and white and hardened. Marion is gently slapping Halfis on the shoulder like that.
Seeing Marionâs face like that, Halfis quickly corrected his residence by gently rubbing his eyes once where he distorted his expression to cry.
âUh⊠I canât respond to you if you suddenly say that. And now thereâs a kingâs life, isnât there?
âThatâs right. There is no clarification of the Spirit Contract, but there are few materials with objective facts that describe the material of the Ministry of MagicâŠâ
â⊠No, there may beâ
âHuh?â
It was Marion with a difficult look who answered my blur.
âYeah, but Iâve already looked through a lot of Ministry of Magic material. You still have it?
âNo. If itâs just possible⊠itâs forbiddenâ
I frowned unexpectedly at the words Marion uttered.
âWhat do you see?
â⊠a book forbidden by the Ministry of Magic to stay out of national policy, right? Kind of when I was an adventurer.â
Prohibition that if you go out into the world, you can even be punished. As a matter of fact, Iâve read some research material on the opening of vampires, and itâs a forbidden book category. Thatâs what I got in my adventurer days and read in hiding. Now Iâve already given it to the guild.
Iâve heard that if you find out you possess it, you can take it up with the state. Sure, I know itâs possible if itâs a ban, but where do you say you can see that ban?
âShall we explore it a little?
âHuh?â
âI belong to the Ministry of Magic, too. I canât get my hands on it if itâs burned, but it could be if itâs stored together somewhere.â
âI appreciate that, but of the royal family, isnât that a lot of resistance from the Ministry of Magic if I try to see that?
âI will use my position to stand around there⊠because I am grateful to Princess Anisphere. Itâs been a long time since Iâve seen Halfis smile from his heart. Then I want to do what I can.â
Marion stares at me with that and a serious look. That was a look that made me feel ready.
Still feel hesitant. If you hit him badly, you could jeopardize Marionâs position.
âThen why donât you ask the Knights if I have a forbidden book or something suspicious like that?â
âHey to the gut! Or stand up and donât do that!? Itâs dangerous!?â
âArenât you cunning that all Halfis and Marion are helping! Thereâs no place for me!
âNot from the beginning!
âTerrible!â
Marion is dismissed anyway, dismissed! I hope you donât move with such ease that you skip such a dangerous bridge.
âWell, well, Gurk. Iâm not going anywhere near dangerous, either. Besides, itâs the Ministry of Magicâs job to control the forbidden books. Iâm doing this because Iâm sure I wonât get suspicious.â
âUhm⊠but I donât knowâ
â⊠Ah. Then I need a favor from Gakun.â
âPlease?â
âDo you know Navru-kun, the son of the Kingsguard Knights leader?
âOh, Master Navre. Whatâs wrong with Master Navre? I hear youâre in a cage from that one.â
Youâre not being prudent, youâre a drag, are you, Navre? Did you set up too much moxibustionâŠ? Iâm getting more concerned. And the best people are here.
âI was wondering if you could take a look at how things are going?⊠Neither Yufi nor Raini wanted to wake that one up. Navre didnât think about it, but it was Rainiâs behavior. Iâve talked about it once, but I thought I might have a chance to start over.â
âIf Master Anisphere says so, Iâll take care of it.â
âOh, because you donât have to interfere weirdly! Because itâs just good to keep an eye out for something to flatter you!
âOkay!
Thatâs goodâŠ. Iâm not a bad person, but if Gakun assumes it too, heâs a swine rush. I thought this was your country? I guess it wouldnât taste good if I didnât seriously review the aristocratic college education! Really!
