Chapter 8 Smelting Smelting Smelting
Craive has taught him how to study magic, but he can’t always accompany him.
He is actually quite busy because he has a military job, a job as a mage, and a small territory. Therefore, basically, while giving a task, find free time, and evaluate the results.
Arkus, who has been working on the tasks given by Craive every day, is reading an old book about the magic power borrowed from Craive that day.
His purpose, of course, is to find hints for increasing magic power.
In the books of man’s world, there were many stories that the capacity increased as the magic power was used, but that does not work in this world. It is common sense that the capacity of a person’s magic power has been fixed since he was born, and no matter what he does, it will not increase.
That’s why he borrowed an old book, but it seems that the contents of the borrowed book have already been examined by Craive, and there is no mention of increasing magic power.
However, if you have a man’s memory, you may discover something.
…………and like that, Arkus thought that way, but of course, the reality is not so sweet.
After all, the method of increasing magic power is not written in the book, and there are only things that seemed unlikely to be very useful, such as the result of manipulating magic power.
In addition, when he comes to the last page, some notes inserted by Craive, over here written something he doesn’t understand.
For example, there is a description that Arkus is currently reading, “Smelting the magic power,” but this is what Craive says.
“-Well, I don’t really understand this part either.”
It seems.
Smelting magic power. Craive obediently followed the words and manipulated the magic power in his body and smelting it, but it can be said that he could not get the result.
But what does it mean to smelt magic power?
“Smelting? First, what is smelting?”
Just like that, a man’s tone comes out.
Smelting. Do you keep changing the shape like clay? -No, do you keep folding it over and over again? Or, like the language of a man’s country, is it “smelting” when hitting metal to make the hardness equally?
The act of smelting is not clear.
“…I’ll try it”
Speaking to himself, he begins the work of smelting magic power.
There is only practice in everything.
As for the operation of magic power, he kept Craive’s instructions and moved and carved it in his body every day, so he is decent at mastering operation magic power.
If you think that this work is also part of a magic operation, it’s not so bad.
“Smelting smelting smelting…”
Smelting the magic power in the body, stir and fold it, and hit (just his feeling) over and over again.
When he is working on it for several hours, he suddenly noticed it.
“… Is the magic power decrease?”
It seems that if you smelt your magic power, it will be consumed little by little. It is strange that it is consumed just by moving it in the body, but the magic power is definitely less than when he started smelting.
“… I’ll try more”
Is this also some result? Then he may find something. With the expectation that it will be good if he finds something, he continuously smelting magic power in his body.
………… But.
“No, no, no, this is bad. I overdo it …”
I get conceited, I work until the magic power becomes slight, the magic power that was as warm water became hot like boiling water.
Moreover, even if you try to move your body, it is difficult to move as you wish. It’s as if something light until now has suddenly become heavier.
…… Release it?
“No, no, it is no good. I can’t do something reckless in the room …”
If the magic power is released as it is, waves will occur probably because of resistance. Therefore, if you release this unknown magic power indoors, things in the room may be blown away.
However, this magic power will not disappear unless it is released. However, if it is not released, it will remain this way.
Is this okay? Anxiety grows.
“………… Yeah. Alright, let’s think about it later.”
I decided to put the dangerous things that I had made in my body on hold and turned around.
In the first place, magic power does not feel its heat unless it is conscious.
If you leave it alone, it will cool down. …… I hope it cools down.
“Well, everything doesn’t work so easily …”
Magic has been studied for decades, hundreds of years before he was born.
A little child’s idea cannot discover something new that has never been seen before.
Moreover, increasing the amount of magic power is one of the propositions of a mage. It would be strange to find it easily.
Thinking like that, when he left the room with the instruction book, he meets Joshua.
To be gazed at by cold eyes, the body becomes stiff.
…… Joshua becomes colder after he began to receive magic guidance from Craive.
After all, there may be a feud between them that cannot be expressed in a single word. On top of that, since he has shown his unsightly self, his hatred has doubled, no it’s tripled.
Joshua’s gaze is focused on the instruction book he had.
“Hmm … studying magic?”
“Yes”
Affirming plainly, Joshua clicks his tongue.
And then,
“I have no intention of returning you to an heir after studying!”
“I’m not aiming to be the heir to the Rayseft family from the beginning.”
“Well, if Ani-ue teaches you magic, you can’t overturn magic power!”
“The superiority or inferiority of a mage is not determined solely by the amount of magic power.”
Continue to calmly respond to the anger that comes.
After that, his face suddenly attacked.
“Gu…”
Apparently, he was punched. When he noticed, he had blown up to the wall of the corridor. He tastes blood. It seems that his mouth is hurt.
“A damn kid …”
Joshua vomits with resentment.
In such a figure, there is no longer sadness that comes from the feelings of parents and children, just boiling anger.
He uses such unreasonable violence against a son who has his blood.
He lost his patience to look at him, Joshua eventually lost interest and left that place.
As he stands up, holding down the punched part, he suddenly noticed Risha appearing from the corner of the corridor.
Did she see a whole exchange? Her eyes are shaking with anxiety.
“N-Nii-sama …”
“Risha”
When I call, she is paying attention to the surroundings, then Risha comes here.
“Nii-sama, are you okay?”
“I’m fine if something like this. No problem.”
When I smiled to appeal Risha, she dropped her shoulders and looked down.
“……Sorry”
“Why does Risha apologize?”
“Because of me, Nii-sama is scolded and hit by Tou-sama and Kaa-sama …”
Risha seems to have misunderstood something.
She is almost crying and her shoulders are shaking.
“Risha. It’s not because of Risha that I’m having this kind of treatment.”
“But, but … Because I become a successor.”
Is that? Did Risha think something like this happens because she has more magic power?
“That’s not the case. It’s my fault because my magic power was low.”
“Nii-sama is not wrong! It is not wrong!”
Risha raises her tone.
Eventually, perhaps because she couldn’t bear it, she began to cry on the spot.
I keep accompany Risha until she’s calm down, and then while hiku hiku she says,
“Nii-sama, I want everyone to change back, close like before. Play together…”
“… That’s right. It would be nice if that happened.”
But that’s impossible anymore.
The relationship between myself and my parents has already broken to the point of being irreparable.
As Risha says, the family should be on good terms. Even in a man’s life, his parents had a fight when he was a child. At that time, he felt a pain like Risha now.
Children want their parents to get along and be kind to them.
And it’s all because of that parent that such a small wish can never be fulfilled. Risha is now crying like this because his parents are the ones who can only find the value of their children in their talents.
When I think about it, my anger boils.
It is lukewarm just payback them. I have to settle properly someday.
Yes—I have to do it decisively and thoroughly enough to erase the Rayseft family from the world.
“… Nii-sama“
“Look, stop crying. I’ll play with you.”
“……Is it okay?”
“It’s totally okay”
After saying that, I pulled Risha’s hand and returned to the room.
After playing with her for a while, she,
“Can I sometimes come to Nii-sama‘s room?”
“Don’t be found by father and mother.”
“Un!”
Risha shows a refreshing smile.
When I saw her smile, the pain of being beaten by Joshua went somewhere far away.
