It’s been three days since then.

Today is the day of the apostle certification exam.

 

I’ll be using attack magic in a safe place.

They’re going to check my swordsmanship and other skills to see if there’s a dramatic increase in my abilities.

It’s easy to find out if they’re just a bunch of unaware “I’M STRONGGGGGGG” type people.

Was my predecessor full of such people?

Weren’t they even the least bit alarmed?

Am I crazy, or am I just a little nervous?

 

The whole family and some servants were brought to a place off the estate.

Originally, a priest from the church will be the witness of the certification.

There is no priest, as the teacher is a certified apostolic scholar (which means he is authorized by the Church).

There was some talk of bringing the people to watch, but Kiara objected.

 

“If the results are not positive, he will be exposed. It could be traumatic.”

 

As a result, it was confirmed only by my relatives.

You are such a sweet sister …… Your big brother is so glad.

Even the normally calm Father is upset.

The fear of thought control over the apostles is apparent.

If you’re religious, I guess it’s impossible to maintain your composure against an apostle who you treat like a god.

 

That’s when I became concerned about Kiara’s calmness.

No, she’s too calm.

I’m sure there’s something going on, but first I have to concentrate on getting through this charade.

 

The teacher asks me in a light tone.

 

“Well, kiddo. Are you ready?”

 

Everyone except Kiara and the teacher looks at me expectantly.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to expose myself.

 

I’m just coating the tattered old man with the soul of a boy.

I don’t have the slightest intention of living up to their expectations.

 

“I’m ready.”

 

Yes, a move as a disguise for a personality change.

Change your way of speaking.

I used to call myself “Boku”.

I changed it to “Watashi”.

 

The reason is that when you reach the age where you take the apostle certification exam, you are treated almost like an adult. 

That’s why I changed my wording.

 

“It’s strange that at the age of 20, I hurriedly changed my self-identification from me to I, right?”

 

I said, and he agreed.

Now, even if my personality has changed a little from the original, he will probably look at me warmly as ‘trying to be tall and mature’.

To hide a change you want to hide, you hide it in a common change.

To hide a tree, hide it in the forest.

 

The teacher raised his hand to signal the start.

 

“So, for the first time.”

 

The first thing we had to do was to check our magic, and we were supposed to cast the appropriate attack magic into the sky.

The lucky thing for me here was that I already knew how to cut corners.

Even before my memory came back, I was known as Alfred the Curious.

 

It’s a good thing that I have an innate personality, because when I learned magic, I asked a lot of questions about what principles …… and how to convert magic power into the phenomena I wanted.

I was always asking about such details and making my magic teacher rave about it.

 

Even in modern society, there are not that many people who want to know the principles of things.

However, technology is built on basic studies, so if you want to find out, you can.

In a world where science and academics are underdeveloped, basic studies are not popular to begin with.

This is because they focus on how to use what they have.


 

Few people learn such things.

 

For example, in training as an airplane pilot, you are asked the question, “Why do airplanes fly?” That’s what they’ll ask you.

 

For the teacher, it’s a depressing experience.

But …… I am the son of a great aristocrat.

I ask what makes sense at first glance, so they can’t just ignore it.

In fact, two of my teachers have run away with me because of this.

In addition to teaching apostolic studies, the third teacher was the one who was chosen.

He’s a genius, has strong magical powers, and has mastered some basic theory.

You’re being used pretty hard, teacher.

Forgive me, but you’ll have to be the sacrifice for the sake of my curiosity and peace of mind.

When I become a great man, I will build you a statue.

 

The theory of magic that I learned is roughly as follows.

Perform a chant or chanting motion.

This determines the type of magic.

If it’s fire, then when you chant the spell, an image of a burning fire will appear in your mind.

Be aware of the magic flowing through your body and let it flow out of your body.

The smoothest way is to let it out through your hands.

I was told that if I tried hard enough, I could also release it from my feet.

But I don’t want to be like some fighting game …… where they call it Muay Thai and you have to throw balls out of your feet. 

The magic emitted from the body is attracted to the magic in the air like a magnet.

However, this alone is only a vague attraction and does not work as magic.

In order for the released magic power and the natural magic power to collide, we need to be aware of a certain enclosed space.

By doing so, the area of attraction will be narrowed down, and the collision will sublimate as magic.

At this point, the magic is on the verge of materializing and can be seen as magic from outside ……

Since magic is condensed into a certain space, open the area by assuming the position, momentum, and direction.

This will cause magic to flow out of the empty space. 

Activate the magic.

 

Strengthening the body is different, but I won’t go into that here.

 

By the way, the magic training that is generally taught is

Casting a fire magic spell.

Since this spell is imprinted as fire, it falls under 1.

With a specific chanting motion (in this case, sticking out your arms), be aware that flames will shoot out from there.

Applies to 2 and 3.

At the same time as the chanting and the completion of the movement, visualize the flames flying out strongly.

Applies to 4 and 5.

 

In the worst-cases


 

 

“I’m going to chant a fire spell with a Bwaaaaaahhhh. Imagine that flames come out from inside with a Gwaaaahhhh. Then, it goes down your arm with a Byaaaaahhh. Then strongly believe to make it explode with a bang!”

(T/N: Hahaha, in this part, he is explaining the steps of chanting magic in a “Typical Genius Way” that most geniuses use, without really understanding the principle of how it happens but they just explains it from what they feel when chanting. And since I’m good with that Bang is the normal thing I can say, sorry about that.)

 

When I heard this, I was seriously dizzy.

That person was the first teacher who was called a genius…

 

Don’t think, feel it!

(T/N: It’s English here.)

◆◇◆◇◆

 

Then, let’s get started.

 

“Okay, here I go.”

 

If I limit the amount of magic that comes out of my body to the level it was at before I reincarnated, it will have the same power.

I wonder if I can fake it well.

I knew I could do it without chanting, so I’ve always done it without chanting.

Thanks to this, people secretly expect that their son will be great.

Don’t get too carried away, that was me before the memories of my previous life came back.

 

I shoot fire into the sky without chanting.

 

The power given to me is like a gate in my body, and when I open it, a tremendous amount of magic power comes out.

During the three days I was lying in bed, I made sure of that.

As long as I don’t open it, I’m no different from ordinary people.

However …… every time I use magic, the magic power roars to open the gate, so I have to be careful.

In addition, the door is poorly constructed, so the gate could open at any time.

I need to have a clear image of not opening the gate.

Thinking that someone should give me a padlock to close the gate, I fired off a shot.

 

“Oh! Ehhh…?” the onlookers said.

 

Oh no …… did I make a mistake somewhere? I broke out in a cold sweat inside.

 

When I looked at everyone, I saw that they all had subtle expressions on their faces.

 

“Was there something wrong?”

 

I asked, trying to keep my composure.

The teacher, who was at a loss for a response, replied with his eyes swimming.

 

“No, I was surprised by the blue flames. I’ve never seen a fire like that before. But the power was very ordinary. W-Well …… Don’t worry about it ……”

 

Oh no. …… After my memories of before my reincarnation came back, the image of a fully burning flame came first…

 

“Ah, when I was having a nightmare with a high fever, I saw something like a blue flame in my dream. I may have remembered that in a strange way ……”

 

I’ll just say whatever I feel like saying.

 

The teacher suggested to escape from this difficult atmosphere.

 

“W-Well, let’s take a break and check your swordsmanship.”

 

My father said as if to remind himself.

 

“Y-Yes, that’s right. Well, it’s not a done deal yet.”

 

Forgive me, Papan, I’ll cut corners next time.

The family and servants are all disappointed ……. except for one person.

 

Only Kiara was smiling nonchalantly.

It’s the face of an old lady who sees through her son’s poor deviousness and smiles.

 

I’m scared ……

Please sister …… don’t say anything unnecessary…
