Chapter 310 – Teaching Magic #4
The starting point where magic in another world began to develop in earnest was when the runes were created.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a proper magic system has been established since the brothers Odin and Loki created the 26 primitive runes.
Because runes play a role like a key component when creating magic formulas.
Not only rune magic, but all other schools of magic also used modified runes.
Runes function similarly to formulas when solving math problems.
It is a solver that makes the answer come out even if you enter a number with ignorance.
What if there are no runes?
If that’s the case, you’ll have to calculate everything one by one when formulating the formula.
The magic won’t work unless you manually calculate all the details, such as the power, precision, size and hardness of the magic.
It’s almost like trying to chew food with your gums without teeth.
Anyway, you can chew it, but you have to go through hardships.
It’s terrible.
“Have you never seen letters like this before? These are the letters called runes. They are magic letters used by wizards in countries outside the desert.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it. These are strangely shaped letters.”
They showed the primitive runes as well as all kinds of modified runes used by other schools, but the Jakartans only showed signs of not knowing anything.
Suddenly, the Jakartans, who used magic without runes, felt wonderful.
‘I can see why Jakartans can only use fire-attribute magic.’
Why can Jakartans only use fire magic?
It’s because it’s a hot desert area, so fire mana is most abundant in that area.
Mana of other attributes may have been mixed, but there was no rune, so there was a lack of technology to implement it into magic.
I should thank the gods of Asgard for making the runes.
Had it not been for the gods, the northern mages would have been in a similar situation to the Jakartans.
The sun god who reigns in the desert seems to have little interest in magic.
I also interact with the gods across the desert and that’s it.
Is the sun god a hikikomori?
“I have fully checked your magic skills. If you learn the magic system using runes, you will be able to grow enough. As you have calculated everything by hand, you must have well developed calculation skills. Everyone, please accept the water order form. .”
I gestured to Bella and handed out water magic books to each of the Jakartans.
As soon as the Jakartans received the magic book, they were busy looking through the book.
“What are the weird hand movements in the book? When we used magic, we didn’t do hand movements.”
“How many times do you have to bend your hands…”
I kindly answered the question of the Jakartan people, who even saw the prisoner for the first time.
“It’s a medium called ‘Beast Sign’ that forms runes in the shape of a hand. If you follow the finger movements perfectly, it becomes easy to activate the magic. Once you can memorize the Beast Mark and picture it in your head, you can use magic. . Watch what I do and imitate it well.”
In front of Jakartan people’s eyes, I made a water magic sign made up of various hand movements. It’s been quite a while since I’ve made a hand sign, but there’s nothing difficult.
Now, just by looking at part of the finger shape, I can guess which rune it was derived from.
“So the magic spell… Here it is. It’s written on page 47. Gather, dew of life.”
He even recited spells for the Jakartans who were learning water magic for the first time. In my case, I only had to recite the first language when learning magic, but that’s special because I’m Wiseman’s blood. Most wizards seem to need spells to cast autosuggestions.
“Come together, dew of life!”
“Come together!”
The Jakartans laid out the hand-man explanation map and twitched their fingers eagerly as they recited incantations.
However, everyone was having a hard time because they were not familiar with the beastman they were meeting for the first time.
There is no sign of water droplets being summoned at all.
It was not a pleasant thing for me, who wanted to finish class perfectly within today.
How long would you hold on to something you could teach by producing just one drop of water?
Still, the princess was attending the class herself.
It seems like there must be at least one student who created water droplets so that the class can be finished without backbiting.
It’s kind of like when you have to move your fingers all day and then send them home!
‘I can’t help it.’
I decided to use a special method and approached Princess Selma.
There was a way to teach water magic as an attribute.
“Are you good at making hand signs?”
“Uh… This is a lot of pain in the knuckles. Being a beastman, it seems like you need to bend your fingers to the point where it’s hard on them.”
“You’ll get used to it if you keep doing it.”
I saw Princess Selma crying because of the pain in her fingers.
“If it’s too difficult to move by yourself, let me take your hand.”
“What? You’re saying you’re going to hold my hand and move me? Even if you’re a teacher, it’s disrespectful for a princess to hold the hand of an outsider.”
“I’ll move you with magic, so don’t worry.”
The way to teach hand sign as an attribute is to help me make a perfect hand sign by moving my finger from the side.
The person being helped only needs to consume mana while the finger is fixed.
[Telekinesis]
He forcibly moved Princess Selma’s finger using magic that released telekinesis.
Princess Selma’s hand, held by her telekinesis, began to use her hand signs perfectly.
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
“Ah, no…? My fingers move on their own!”
“I’m controlling it with my telekinesis. Remember the sensation you feel every time you open the hand sign.”
The beasts drawn in the water magic book were divided into a total of six movements.
Not only Princess Selma, but other Jakartans also paid attention to her finger movements.
Everyone in the classroom now had their eyes fixed on the princess.
“Focus the mana in your body toward your hand. Blow it in until your knuckles feel hot. When the beast seal is complete, immediately recite the spell.”
“Ah, I see!”
Finally, the sixth seal was completed in the hands of Princess Selma.
Princess Selma recited the spell as directed by me.
“Come together, dew of life! Water!”
It was then.
In front of Princess Selma’s eyes, water droplets the size of her fingernails were born.
The water droplets floating in the air would maintain their shape until the princess released her concentration.
“Mu, it’s a drop of water! It’s a real drop of water!”
“The princess made water droplets out of nothing!”
Princess Selma succeeded in activating her water magic.
By consuming her mana, a drop of water that can be used as drinking water was born. It would feel like a historic sight to the famine-stricken Jakartans.
If you learn water magic well, you will have a groundbreaking means to supply water to the people in your hometown.
“Ah… Ah ah …! Really water was born! Is there any problem with drinking water?”
“The water created by magic is clean, uncontaminated water. You can drink it.”
Princess Selma put on a thrilled expression. No other cooking cartoon judges could have a more moving reaction than her right now.
Just by looking at his expression, I felt a thrill in my heart.
“You had a way to save the suffering people. From now on, Jakartan people will remember your name. As a great man who will tell you how to supply water.”
“Are you sure?”
“Then would the princess lie?”
A great man from the history books?
That I’ll be treated like a Newton in Jakarta?
I was suddenly speechless because of the burden.
Princess Selma’s gaze, looking directly at me, contained fervent anticipation.
“…We will continue the class again. Others will correct their posture with telekinesis, so please wait.”
After that, I went around Jakarta and gave direct instruction on hand signs.
By the end of class that day, all eight students had succeeded in creating water droplets.
Because they were wizards who knew how to handle mana in the first place.
It is only natural to learn magic in one day if you can properly use your hand signs.
“Everyone has worked hard. Let’s finish the class. When you go back to your hometown, take your magic book with you. You can learn even beginner magic by reading books and self-studying.”
“Yes!”
Jakartans, including Princess Selma, finished the class with a satisfied expression.
I watched with Bella as they left the classroom.
But for some reason, Princess Selma didn’t want to leave the classroom even after her class was over.
“Why isn’t Princess Selma going? It’s very late.”
“I have something to tell you. Do you have any plans to work as a court mage in Jakarta?”
Princess Selma approached me and suddenly made a scouting offer.
Bella and I were taken aback by her words.
“In Jakarta, there are still many lower classes who are suffering from water shortage. If you have your magic, it will be of great help to the people of Jakarta. A magician who manipulates the climate is a rare talent even in the world of strangers.”
“It might help.”
It’s not just words of invitation!
Princess Selma came closer and before she knew it, she took her hand with me as if she were shaking hands.
As her princess’s delicate hand wrapped around mine, I felt an indescribably soft feeling.
It’s an unusual attitude.
I gulped.
“Isn’t it disrespectful to hold hands with an alien man?”
“Coming to think of it, you’re not an extramarital man. Aren’t you the person who would become my childhood friend’s husband? If that’s the case, then we’re not strangers. Light skinship is fine.”
What kind of weird logic are you putting out there? If you’re your childhood friend’s fiancé, are you saying it’s okay to have physical contact?
Rather, doesn’t it look more dangerous when others see it?
Suddenly, a popular song I heard on Earth came into my mind.
I trusted my friend as much as I trusted you!
I introduced you to my friend without any hesitation!!
“What do you think? If you come to Jakarta, I’ll treat you the best as a court wizard. Whether it’s money, women, or power, you’ll get whatever you want!”
I got goosebumps at the fact that the princess’s words of giving her everything were not bluffing.
That must mean that the Kingdom of Jakarta needs me.
But I don’t want to live in the desert no matter how much I pay.
He was too attached to the Northern Kingdom to leave his hometown for money.
‘How should I refuse?’
I made up my mind to refuse, but it was not easy to open my mouth. Princess Selma was not enough to persuade her with her words, and even grabbed her hand, so she couldn’t take it away.
It was just when she got her head rolling and was thinking about her rejection statement that she wouldn’t be hurt.
“Go there, Princess Selma.”
A cold, subdued voice resounded right next to him.
With the addition of exaggeration, the temperature seemed to be as low as the freezing magic!
“Luke’s guild members are the most important manpower in our adventurer’s guild. I can’t wait to make a recruiting offer in front of me, a sub-gilma.”
Bella, who had been quietly helping with class, opened her mouth.
In an instant, chills ran through her body as she felt the temperature around her drop.
Was Bella learning freezing magic?
“Let go of Luke’s guild members.”
“…What did you say?”
It was absolutely not the mood to want to get close to Princess Selma!
Wasn’t the reason she helped her class in the first place because she wanted to have a private conversation with Princess Selma?
Wasn’t it the intention to get help when expanding the business by building friendships?
“I asked for Luke to be released. I mean my lover.”
“After…”
However, a strange war of nerves was unfolding in the conversation between the two.
Bella looked warily at Princess Selma as she held me.
It doesn’t seem to matter what business is going on now.
