Chapter 7: 7

“Speaking of which, I’d like to build up a lot of awareness with Uffi.”

“The folding of perceptions, is it?

“Yeah. Yufi knows I can’t use magic, right?

Yuffi gave me a slow nod, although he gave me a look that seemed lost somewhere.

In this world, a great nobleman can use magic. I have talent in it, and the amount of magic I have and the number of magical aptitudes I have become statuses.

I am incompetent in that respect. A body that has magic but cannot use magic. This is innate, and it can be the result of my research that it is not of an acquired and changing nature.

“The reason I can’t use magic is mostly because I’m guessing…”

“Please wait?

“Yes?”

“Making guesses? That’s the first time I’ve heard that…”

“So let’s get to know each other,” I said.

“… to the point of becoming. Excuse me, go on.”

It seemed confusing, Ufi, but I nodded whether you were convinced by what I had explained.

“First of all, the magic is exercised with the help of the Spirit.”

“Yes. Work on spirits that exist everywhere in the world, at the cost of magic and form magic. And there is the nature of magic that fits with the Spirit, and it is taught that it becomes aptitude.”

“Yeah. That’s a common story. I took a step from there.”

“A step-by-step perception, when you say?

“Literally. How can it be decided that magic conforms to the Spirit, or how can the Spirit shape magic at the price of magic?”

In the first place, the magic of this world is exercised by the Spirit. And the number and variety of spirits are numerous.

The four great spirits of fire, water, earth, wind, the original spirits of light and darkness, the subspecies spirits derived from them, etc…. than to say. Whatever the typical spirits are, it’s hard to distribute them when you include even derived subspecies spirits! I’ve been filing too fine to distribute, but enough to throw it out on the way!

That investigation showed that the Spirit basically says that even if there are differences in attributes, they are essentially ecological, or that the nature is the same. The Spirit is just something that drifts in the air if the Spirit is alone. It’s like when this gathers or has the will to be promoted to a being like the Great Spirit or God.

When summed up, the Spirit is a spiritual being drifting in the world, and what can be recognized visually is a unique individual, such as a strong collective. And we know that it feeds on magic.

“Is magic food for the Spirit?

“The Spirit is a spiritual being, a spiritual force invisible to magic. I defined magic as the power of zero from the soul. And the Spirit doesn’t have something called self-consciousness if he has to be a collective and be able to even see. I thought magic was processing the spirits.”

“What processed the Spirit is magic, not what the Spirit prayed for embodies!?”

I laugh without thinking like Yuffi’s surprise. Because I understand that there is no such thing as an existing mindset.

“It’s normal to think that way in general, but here’s what I’m thinking. Spirits are usually like air drifting unconsciously. Change it by giving it food called magic, and make it magic. I believe that having a cap on magic is like the blood of a soul in the first place. And even though we don’t get the amount we need out of the vessel, we think we’re going to get out for the unnecessary amount.”

The vessel called soul is packed with magic, or what is the source of magic. This will never go outside for what it takes, but anything but what it takes will be released outside. This is who magic is.

The Spirit is unconscious, drawn by magic, and entrusted to the consciousness to which it was given its presence. Explain to Uffi the idea that magic is an act of alteration of the existence of the Spirit, and that the Spirit is not necessarily conscious and responsive to it.

It was clear that Yufi looked sinister. Some people are followers of the Spirit Faith who worship the Spirit. From those people, my thoughts would be heretical, too. So I don’t usually talk about this idea. Because of the circumstances, Yufi will be a collaborator, so I thought I’d have to talk to her.

“… I’ve never thought of magic or spirits as natural before, why, etc.”

“Even I was driven by necessity to find out, so I came to this conclusion. So, if you can figure out how it works, you can see why I can’t use magic.”

“You said you found out what prevented you from using magic?

“It’s a magic the Spirit doesn’t like, simply put”

Yes. I have magic. That’s for sure. It is evidenced by the fact that it is activating the magic props. But I have not been able to use magic.

The Spirit tries to keep his presence with magic as food. And unconsciously seek magic that goes well with you. That will be recognized as the “fit attribute” of the side that uses magic.

If the Spirit of Water is doing the magic he prefers, so as to obtain the fitness of the water. In other words, aptitude fluctuates depending on how the Spirit likes the flavor.

“I don’t know what this may be, but I think what happened to nobility and royalty started when I signed with the Spirit.”

“Are you talking about the Spirit Contract? Though the legend is said to be the beginning of the aristocracy that he exchanged covenants with superior spirits such as the Great Spirit and borrowed his strength. There are still a few, but there are also spiritual contractors.”

“Yes, a contract with the Spirit that is visible and self-sufficient can be so powerful that it cannot be compared to normal magic. That’s why they say the country began by incorporating the spirits into the covenant and creating a system called aristocracy.”

“I see. It’s the remnants of your ancestral spiritual covenant that allows the nobles to use magic.”

Maybe. That was quite a while ago, so I don’t think you’ll know the truth unless you dig up some old records.

Although following history is one romance, the romance I should follow is another.

“Although I don’t know if it has become the nature of the magic I prefer because it is the blood muscle that I have contracted with the Spirit. Leaving that aside, I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t invite spirits to use magic because it doesn’t fit the spirits.”

“So, Master Anis is developing the magic props?

“I have magic. We need to make the most of it. And I wanted to use magic. That didn’t have to be in the form of magic the Spirit did. By the way, I don’t think we can use magic on civilians because there’s no remnants of the spiritual covenant. Still, I think it’s only rare that even civilians can use magic, probably because of those circumstances. Or an aristocratic bastard.”

“I was born with the magic favored by the Spirit,” he said. Should we consider it lucky? “

“Yeah, maybe. Leaving that aside, without that talent I had to overshadow it with effort. And I discovered things.”

“Is it a discovery? And that led to the development of demonic props?

“Right. First, I explored the use of magic without passing the Spirit.”

Magic power releases excess minutes from the body and becomes foggy. If the Spirit is a magic that is not attracted either, it can also be said to be a resource that is wasted. I decided to do some research to see if I could use this for something. Could this have been around the age of six?

“The first thing I laid eyes on was the Spirit Stone.”

“It’s a crystal of spiritual power that spirits gather where they gather and are said to be given to them by high-ranking spirits.”

“Yeah, so I decided to find out who that was.”

“? Identity, is it?

“Because it’s not just a stone, is it? We can’t figure out how it’s created without looking at those principles.”

“… to the point of becoming”

Crystalline stone given by the Spirit, that is the Spirit stone. With this, even civilians can use the power of the Spirit. However, the applications are limitless.

Instead of a fireplace if it is a spiritual stone of fire. If it’s a spiritual stone of water, we can get the water out, but that’s it. If it’s a spiritual stone of the wind, it produces the wind, but it doesn’t have enough power to fly people. The spiritual stones of the earth can enrich the land, but they cannot shake the earth.

I mean, I can only do things like degraded magic. Now, the real question is how could Spirit Stone have done that and how could it have been created by the Spirit?

“Simply put, it’s the remains of the Spirit.”

“… what?

“Or the coagulated of the Spirit. Spirit that has materialized, without will. So I guess it’s best to say carcass.”

“… when they say that, something you should be thankful for will strike you as badly as possible”

“If you open the lid, reality is such a thing. Well, spirits are basically unrelated to resentment because unlike organisms, the concept of death is rare. I guess not when you’re more than a big spirit with a clear will.”

So spiritual stones are rich in spirits and are discovered in rich lands. The Kingdom of Palletia has a good balance between nature and population. In an environment where the Spirit is reasonably habitable, there are human beings beside him who produce the magic that feeds the Spirit.

If you go to the depths, you can get pure quality things near people if you mine spiritual stones to the extent that they can help you with your daily life without going to the depths. It is no exaggeration to say that Spirit Stone is the corner responsible for the export industry of the Kingdom of Palletia.

“You miss it. Flying through the sky, she used the spiritual stones of the wind in bundles, and plunged them into the walls of the castle.”

“He said he got into it…”

“I thought my whole body would fall apart”

Because of that failure, I was able to obtain doubts about the Spirit Stone that I did not have any magic, so it turned out to be Auray.

The nature of the spiritual stone was well understood. And if you don’t have a number, you won’t be like the magic you want, and you won’t be able to use it freely. I can also say that my trial and exploration began there.

“Well, I did a lot of things. Truly the last decade has been… a day of trial and error…”

“Is that the reason why you became known as the Princess Odd Heavenly…”

“Yeah, you are. Because I really wanted to use magic. I’m still not happy with it. The magic that sprays from the body can now be effectively utilized with magic props. We’re only going to develop it to increase its variety.”

“As far as it goes…. So why did you want me as your assistant?

Yufi leans her neck in doubt. You can say that Yufi and my qualities are the opposite. I am a hater who is turned that way by the Spirit, and Uffi is a popular person loved by the Spirit. It’s really fitness for all attributes.

“Being able to actually see all sorts of magic. And because he’s a mysterious creature with all the attributes and aptitudes and all the cheats and no physical abilities.”

“Chi and…?… Um, am I that weird?

“I think it’s weird. ‘Cause there’s something wrong with Yufi’s existence. Even though it’s not weird to have some parts of your body go crazy. That’s the kind of stats you get, too, huh?

“Huh…?

Hilarious or slightly pale, Yufi blinks and looks at me. In fact, there is something in this world that should be called a unique disease because it is this world. That can be a disease about magic.

“For example, you think that unnecessary amounts of magic are inherently in the body and mentally impaired? Sometimes you do, don’t you? Even though my parents are so fine, my kids grow up to be such bad aristocrats.”

“Uh, yeah…. It’s not a question of education, it’s a disease?

“You’re prone to heart disease. Magic is something that comes out of your soul. If we do not have a stable balance between our bodies and our souls, we will soon make one or both worse. So there are a lot of cases where the magic doesn’t go out of the body and you get sick or, conversely, you get sick.”

If you don’t get out of your soul and you have magic, if you say it, you will cause root rot. The soul becomes unbearable and distorted by saturating magic. It was a serious discovery that some children would distort their personality or come to their bodies with anomalies if their souls were distorted.

It’s just that it hasn’t spread to the country very yet, or it hasn’t. Although I discovered it, I can’t swallow it, and most importantly, I’m not a doctor. The doctors gathered by the royal family have been entrusted with research and verification.

“Then I have an easy-to-like magic by the Spirit, so there’s no such anxiety?

“Conversely. Now there is too much magic eaten to feed to the source of magic inside the soul, making it sick and weak or risking carrying obstacles. I think Yufi has a miraculous balance between how much God loved her. Hundreds of years, no, maybe one genius on a millennial basis”

“… the fact that the amount of magic triggers disease is more surprising than what I’m called a genius”

“Yufi is sweet. It’s better to be balanced about magic. More or less. I’m sure you’ve heard that the medical examinations around here have also begun to be judged by magic research, especially possession and proficiency in magic exercises.”

“Oh, that’s why magic classes at the college take measurements like that…”

Prevention is possible even if the intention cannot be explained. Indeed, a few years after I discovered this theory, the School of Magic began to measure the amount of magic holdings and the proficiency of magic exercises to get statistics on any anomalies.

Of course, magic isn’t the only cause of heartbreaking. It is possible that those who possess abundant magic or are skillful at using magic will be subjected to unspoken persecution if they do not say that their magic is bad. I hear your father has been very careful in this regard.

“I’ve heard stories about kids who are a lot of magic and rough, and when they learn magic and become more proficient, they calm down and their spirits stabilize. Well, if things don’t work out, you’ll even hit eight. Magic is a factor.”

“But it is a great step forward that we have been able to discover the cause…. but is it magic to look into these things?

“No, just by-products. I’m not a specialist, so even I can only talk by guessing. That kind of thing should be figured out by experts. I’m not a doctor, although I’m proud to be a leader in magic.”

Magic can’t use magic. It’s the kind of discipline I’ve given birth to to be able to use magic.

The 'science” of previous life’s knowledge, just magically tailored by reproducing it with magic props. It’s supposed to be for that kind of use, right?

By the way, I’m not without researchers researching magic itself, but I’m not very close to me because I’m kind of on my way to something like faith, theology, or religion.

I was just impressed by practitioner magic researchers. I have been personally thanked for the fact that the abnormality that comes with the balance of body and magic was scaled from my eyes and could have a very good effect on my drilling and my disciples’ education.

Well! Normally! Someone who can use magic! Hey! Jealous! And treat me like a troubled child! I’ll make a fool out of you! Because they made fun of me until I was about to die of sorcery in the first place! There’s a little bit of remorse left! I won’t forgive you, Magic Ministry bastards…!

“… Dear Anis?

“Ha, a little black sentiment for the Ministry of Magic…”

“Ministry of Magic?… I heard you were unfriendly.”

“The Ministry of Magic side is much easier now. I can’t even say it’s good now though. It’s just that the princess is pulling the strings from the old days. And then there’s your personal jealousy.”

“Shut up! What an elite wizard!

Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

A lot of guys look weird, so I’m angry about Sang…! With a guy who even sends a yellow voice or gaze when he sarcastically tells me? I wish I was dead……

“… is that why? What makes Algard so close to the people of the Ministry of Magic?”

“Hmm? Al? Al isn’t as good as Ufi, but I hear he’s good at magic.”

“Yep. That’s why the college and the sons of the aristocrats who work for the Ministry of Magic have often been welcomed.”

“Well, it’s one of those big factions over there, too.”

I don’t really like the way it feels to see magic as a privilege of nobility and not being able to handle civilians and magic from above. Rather, some people hate him enough to throw up backwards. Voter Ideas, Disagree!

I understand that magic is a status. I don’t think that’s everything. I admire magic and do something about developing magic props. Though maybe it’s a funny story I say. ‘Cause this is a hobby.

“Has the story gone out of line? Uh, what were you talking about?”

“That was a mingling of perceptions of magic. Sure enough, it seemed confusing if we didn’t fold it together.”

“It was. You were talking more about spirits and magic than magic one day. It’s inseparable. I can’t help it.”

“Even if they say magic, the reality is unknown from the outside. I just hear you’re often at the construction site? to sewers and street sites.”

Uh, when I told my father about the sewer, he seriously considered it, because he asked me to be an advisor, like an assistant field supervisor, without knowing anything about it.

Because if you have a sewer, you can treat the city landscape and sewage, right? Sewage can cause illness, because my father listened to me and even verified me when I told him stories like that all the time.

Of course, I totally forgot I told you that, and I was suddenly made involved in a business that started after several years of consideration.

I can’t study it then! I thought you were outraged. Thanks to this, I have put all my efforts into the development of demonic props in construction relations. I’m not reflecting.

“The sewer was water in my sleeping ear, too, but because the streets show demons. The demon stone that the demon drops was the aim. So hunting demons in the name of auditing…”

“What is the princess doing!?”

“Sounds like the princess herself is appealing to the inspection, right?

“That’s not what we’re talking about!? And the real deal and the pre-construction are different!

“Well, leave that alone. I needed demon stones, and I went to collect demon bones, skins, fangs, something that was going to be material at one end, and I was pissed off that I didn’t disappear from the royal castle…”

“Right. How many times have I also noticed that I was left with only a letter and escaped? By the way, if you’re going out there, you’ve been sent to the streets to at least do your job.”

I feel nostalgic for Ilia’s supplement. I used to be more like this, I wish I was free. I’m calm now, too. No, sometimes it’s because the research took a lot shape and validation and modification was the main thing!

How do you get out of the royal castle, with the Kingsguard Knights and the soon-to-be-formed samurai squad? In a way, I feel like the Kingsguard Knights treated me like a virtual enemy exercise.

“‘Cause demon stones are degenerate spiritual stones, too, so I didn’t find out enough.”

“… Yes?

“Hmm?”

“The Demon Stone, that’s it, isn’t it? A crystal that can be taken from demons such as particularly strong individuals of demons, people with aliases”

“That’s right. It’s that magical stone that’s brought into magical research or decorated as a sign of honor because it reveals its properties according to the characteristics of the species.”

“Is that a spirit stone?!?”

“Precisely eating spirits and crystallizing the taken spirits into your body to enhance your race-specific power is the Demon Stone. That’s why he’s a perverted spirit.”

“Oh no… is that why the Demon Stone has a strange power?

“Because there are a lot of accessories and things that use demon stones. Well, it’s rare to have an individual.”

That’s why we had to hunt numbers, destroy a little herd of demons, and, you know, that happened. Oh, Ilia’s gaze hurts a little. I wonder if they understand what you’re thinking.

“That’s a spiritual stone, too, but you don’t have a use for it because it’s even more limited in use. It’s not like we can go back to the Spirit Stone, so we’ve only ever had enough use for accessories and honor.”

“In magic, can demon stones be used effectively?

“Mmm. If you can’t imitate it.”

“Something I can’t imitate…?

“See? Well, take it off.”

“What? No, take it off… hey, Dear Anis!?”

Then take off your jacket and let your upper body be naked. There are only women here, so there’s no problem.

And I look back to Uffi to show my back. As I halfway around turning only my neck, I could see Uffi circling his eyes.

I think Uffi’s eyes see an engraved “engraving” on my back. It’s just a tattoo from the side, though. It is a felon to put a tattoo in this world. A custom that was left so that the sins committed could never be erased. So aristocratically, it’s something to repel.

“It… is it a tattoo? How could you do that?”

‘Cause this is gonna be the “magic” catalyst I can use.

“Catalyst…?

“Yes, yes. This is paint that I brushed down and painted with demon stones. I carved this into my body, tamed it, and took the power of the Demon Stone into myself. That’s why you can’t imitate me.”

“Naturally! What do you think your body is!?”

“Uh, that hand sermon is so pissed off when I carve this in, so yes, I won’t do it anymore…”

This is one of the few “magic” I can use right now. By passing magic through the engraving of the devil stone on your back, you can benefit from the engraved devil stone.

I’m just saying, it’s something that has stained me with demonic powers rather than magic, so my father has an immediate restraining order for treating me like an evil person. It’s not like there’s zero danger.

“… ha, that His Majesty’s hardship will be sneaked. So, what can you do with that engraving?

“Mmm. Simply put, I wonder if I can gain the muscle strength of the original demon and other race-derived properties. Because you’re using pretty good stuff!

“… what did you use for the material”

“… when I say it, I feel like I’m going to get mad…!

It’s a dragon, Master Uphilia.

Oh, Ilia! Why are you falling apart like you’re making such a statement! I showed it to you!?

“Dragon!? Dragon Demon Stone is not a national treasure Demon Stone!?”

“Hey, I’ve been hunting for my life because I want it so bad!

“I haven’t been told anything publicly.”

“What are you really doing, are you!?”

Huh, material hunting……? Uffi looked at me with a jitty eye as if such thoughts had leaked into my expression, angry or frightened.

No, ’cause dragons are disaster-class demons. There happened to be a dragon that came across the Kingdom of Palletia, and I heard that a crusader was going to be sent out, so I used everything I could do at the time to hunt for a dragon, too, before it was made national… did I just…?

“So, it’s okay! Because some of this can be properly external! About me to use it with engraving!

“Is it external…?

“You mean the medicine that worked out the demon stone? I have a bit of a side effect though.”

“… Dear Anis”

“Yes.”

“I guess those around me are telling me. I guess you’re not the one who stops when you say it with your mouth. Yeah, so.”

Mr. Yufi, why are your eyes so fixed?

“If you seem to be impotent in my sight, I will do everything in my power to stop you. Please be prepared.”

… I received a declaration of exercising my powers from one of the leading powerful in the kingdom.

Yeah, I think you got a reliable assistant. It’s okay, now, because I don’t really have that kind of impotence anymore! Yeah, I’m sure, maybe.
