Chapter 9 Two Years Later
It’s been two years since Arkus learned magic from Craive.
The current age of Arkus is eight years old. The height increases more than 10 cm in the unit of man’s world, and it is about the average height in this world.
But,
“The face… looks like a girl.”
While rubbing the cheeks with his hands, he sighs.
His face in the mirror is very girlish, with light and quirky silver hair.
Being a man, the height should look like that he grows up, but contrary to that, his face remains cute like a girl. He is only eight years old, so he thinks it will change, but every time he looks in the mirror, he feels anxious.
Even so, his physical growth is going well, and his studies on magic are progressing, but that is much more advanced than before.
Most of the time was used to learn [ Magic CharacterArts Glyph] And [Ancient Arts Language] so far, so he was able to learn a considerable amount of letters and words.
It seems that knowing the language of man’s world… knowing the concept has a great influence on that area.
This world had the same phenomenon as the man’s world, except that it was related to magic, and the mechanism was very similar. Therefore, even vocabulary and phrases that are currently unreadable can be deciphered by comparing them.

And so on.
It seems that the fact that the language of the man’s country was more subtle than the language of other countries also played a role.
Around here, a man was a bookworm is helpful.
Anyway, his uncle says that his current knowledge is comparable to that of a student at the Magic Academy.
It seems that it is quite unusual to remember so far at this age.
It is because there is a desire to payback on father and mother. Of course, studying magic is interesting, but the driving force is not a little obsession with bullying that he had received since the time of the abandonment.
However, there is still not enough study to payback at the owner of a house that raised for magic. If he doesn’t keep working hard, he won’t be able to make Joshua or Serene regret or crush the Rayseft family … no, the Rayseft family’s tradition.
And I’ve been practicing magic for quite some time.
Most of the time Craive uses magic in his mansion yard when he’s free, but now I have almost mastered the basic magic.
Just a little while ago, he used a magic trick in front of him.
“Okay, then try using it.”
“Yes”
Under Craive’s instructions, divide the magical power into the required amount and prepare it according to the vocabulary or the phrase.
“—An anger that buried in this body, turns into fire. Raise the roar that burns the heavens and incinerate everything. “
Immediately after casting the spell, [ Magic CharacterArts Glyph] emerges in the air.
Eventually, it forms multiple magic circles, with a fire spear burning through its center.
Fire attack magic [ Fire Flash SpearFlame Rune]. An advanced version of the spell that has been improved to make it easier for Craive to use, [Fireflash SpearFlame Runes].
A fire spear is shot from the magic circle and hits the target.
Immediately after, the target burned at once.
When the magic burns the target, it soon becomes Magic CharacterArts Glyph crushed and scatters.
“Okay, it looks good.”
“Thank you very much”
Bow to Craive’s praise.
At first, I didn’t know how much magic was put into any magic, but after trying many times, I became able to do it.
But–
(It’s inefficient … I wish I could somehow measure the magical power)
After all, if I can’t get the value of magic power is a bit of a pain. Even though I’m used to it, as Craive says, I have to manage the magic power of vocabulary and phrases, so I can’t grasp it no matter how much it is spoken.
If I can measure magic power, I will be able to practice magic more efficiently.
Suddenly, Craive pats his head roughly.
He wonders what happened and looks up
“I don’t think you will be able to use [ Fireflash SpearFlame Runes] at this age. If you can use this, you can fight properly on the battlefield, right? “
“Is-is that so …?”
“That’s right. Would you like to watch and come to the first campaign with me for once? Just kidding”
“Etto, if there is the opportunity …”
“Hahaha!”
“Hahaha…”
In return, a lively laugh and I laugh too.
Or rather, what kind of words “watch the first campaign” is? He said like come to the battlefield as easily as taking a walk.
In any case, in this world without firearms like in man’s world, if you can certainly exert this much firepower, you will definitely be able to play an active part on the battlefield. Moreover, since this world has an outspoken culture in which the successor of young nobles and independent nobles can stand on the battlefield, it is not clear whether Craive joked or was serious.
(But I guess I’ll have to go someday …)
The situation in this world is quite unstable compared to man’s world. Skirmishes between nations take place as a matter of course, and in some nations, princes with the same king often contend with each other. We are in a situation where we do not know when we will be involved in the war.
I should only be prepared.
………… And that happened in the garden of Craive’s mansion, but I also started doing something else.
That is Engraving. This is a technique for creating items that exert magical effects by carving spells on objects using special tools.
For example, if this engraving is applied to an ordinary figurine, it can be used as a light source or a heater, making it a convenient item. What’s more, the engraved ones can be used without casting spells, so they are widely used in this world, regardless of whether they are magicians or ordinary people.
Lighting equipment used by installing it in a house or eaves, [Glitter Glass].
An ignition device like a lighter in man’s world.
If engraved on a weapon, it will be traded at a high price as an engraved weapon.
The reason why Arkus started engraving was not only the improvement of magic skills but also the aspect of earning pocket money. This part-time job was recommended by Craive along with studying engraving, and he earned a reward by making an item with engraving and handing it to a friendly company.
According to Craive, the technology will improve soon because money is involved. It’s true that if money moves so I get high-spirited but I can’t make bad things.
That said, I’m making only small parts.
At first, I couldn’t engrave the characters neatly and the result was terrible, but now it looks like this. Continuity is power.
On this day, Arkus will continue to fight with letters that resemble planet symbols and constellation symbols with tools for engraving.
(If I increase the effect of the hardening system, it will become brittle … but I shouldn’t use tough words.)
What he is confused about is the difficulty in using the word equivalent to “strongness” in the language of a man’s country.
Certainly, the word “strongness” is the best word to use for strengthening because it improves the strength and tenacity of the applied product. However, it is difficult to handle because the power of words is so strong that it affects other words that are combined.
This is where spells are difficult. Words with great power affect other words, and if he carelessly combines them, they will produce unexpected effects, so he must be very careful when using them.
For words that have a good effect but are too strong to be controlled, words that weaken the power must be repeated, so many trials are required.
Words such as [Flame] are too strong to be used in spells, and words such as [Thunder] have not been excavated.
It is said that [Annihilation] and [Raging Waves] are so powerful that not only killed the user but also caused disasters.
After engraving the marked seal as usual for a while, he suddenly noticed that the material was gone.
“…Ah, have I used them all?”
To engrave, he needs something called magic silver, in addition to the knife used to engrave the spell. If anything, this is a silver processed with a special magic, it looks like mercury. If you mix this with a pigment or a specific metal powder and carve it while wearing it on the tip of a knife, it will have an effect as an engraving.
This won’t start without it.
“Let’s go buy it?”
Arkus interrupted his work in the room and set about preparing to go out.
