Chapter 21 – 03. Is Bari the Archmage?
+++
Huung-!
Nicely swinging legs.
It was finely stretched and attracted enough attention that it could be considered a piece of art.
I’m sorry – !
“Keuk!”
Anyway, Ryu Si-hwan, the only man here, was just beaten.
I said that yesterday too, but Ryu Si-hwan, who couldn’t even open his eyes properly, was hit by Yu-ina’s leg and rolled away.
A truly unsightly sight.
It’s quite a contrast to the usual standing upright, pulling aggro as much as possible, and being cocky.
‘I’m giving affection to that guy?’
Hitting a moving target as much as I could should have relieved my stress, but on the contrary, I became more and more angry.
How could she say such a thing to herself, a proud 『Noblesse』?
He was an instructor-general whom I always respected, but if I hear such words, I can’t help but feel deeply offended.
“Did I tell you to open your eyes? Are you incapable of learning?”
“Ugh… Gently… A little… Do it…!”
Ryu Si-hwan trembled and stood up.
“Live? Idle sound. You are the trainee representative. It would be fun to know that a guy like that is this weak.”
“No, in the first place, my fighting power is concentrated on Bari….”
“So that is the problem. Don’t you understand?”
He’s really an unresponsive guy.
It is said that one’s power is concentrated in a doll called Bari, but if one is relying on the doll’s free will rather than directly controlling it, strictly speaking, it is not one’s own power.
What do you do if the beak is strong? If you are weak, you will die the moment you can’t avoid it.
In the end, what matters in the end is your ability. In that sense, Ryu Si-hwan, a human being, was hardly suitable for the tower.
‘Still, he’s got his own will for a human being.’
If there’s anything worth looking at, is it that he doesn’t lose his spirit even after being hit like that?
Normally, if you continue to be beaten like this, you will shrink even if you do not intend to do so.
All kinds of helplessness and collapse come, and I’m getting more and more afraid of being beaten.
As you go through such a process, fear is engraved in your body, reacting greatly to even small movements, and finally dying.
But Ryu Si-hwan had nothing like that.
I don’t know where he ate and grew up, but his spirit is still alive at the subject of such a beating.
Against a being overwhelmingly stronger than himself…
Was it really human?
“No, but did you really have any intention of training me? Isn’t it just a matter of resentment?”
“Resentment. Do you think I’m such a jerk?”
It was true that there was such an intention, but it was also true that it was to train Ryu Si-hwan.
Still, he stung a bit.
“Done. I guess I need to do it step by step from the basics.”
“It will be like that sooner or later.”
“… You are in a position to benefit, so how about being more grateful?”
“You’re also relieving stress by beating me. I am very sick.”
“Ha….”
She sighed.
After all, is it impossible to guide Ryu Si-hwan?
“Eleanor.”
“Yes Yes?”
He called Eleanor, who was looking at Ryu Si-hwan with rotten eyes nearby.
If we were to interpret her expression of her, would n’t she be at the level of ‘I have to take care of this guy’.
It seems that he felt a sense of shame at his insignificant fighting ability of her.
“You teach him.”
“Eh?”
“I… You mean?”
“Okay. Since it is not possible from the basics, there will be no difference between what you teach and what I teach.”
“What. Are you finally giving up? I have no patience.”
Quick.
“You… After. Not. Didn’t you say that there’s a doll, Bari?”
“?”
“Since I said something, I should continue teaching, but I don’t think it will be effective at all with that idiot. Coincidentally, Eleanor is also here, so I will look after you. Doesn’t it matter?”
Barry tilted his head.
“… Me? Physical training is meaningless to me.”
She is the one who used to play with Eleonore overwhelmingly.
You don’t have to do any physical training, and even if you do it in the first place, it’s meaningless. It’s not because I’m not generating power with living tissue.
The same goes for technology.
This also doesn’t make sense because once you see her, she can do whatever she is.
“Do you think I’m an idiot who trains dolls?”
“Then what… Oh, are you referring to Norbling? If that’s the case, I’m interested.”
“Nobling is the unique strength of our 『Noblesse』. There’s no way the four of you, who aren’t bloody, let alone living beings, can handle it. It’s not that there’s no way, but it’s impossible at the level of you guys right now.”
“Okay. In other words, if you have the DNA of 『Noblesse』, You can use Nobling. I expected it.”
“DN… What?”
“There is such a thing.”
“….”
I couldn’t understand what he was talking about, but I felt an unknown eerie feeling.
“What I will tell you is magic. Anyone aspiring to become a tower warrior knows how to handle basic magic. Except for you guys.”
“In yesterday’s Dalian, everyone didn’t use magic, so isn’t it not very powerful?”
“That’s because most of them were either ‘advanced races’ or possessed race-specific abilities. You guys are special.”
“Okay.”
It seems that ordinary ‘foreign’ people use magic to accumulate power.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? Physical training is meaningless. I am of the same judgment. It’s already at a considerable level, so at least the academy won’t need it.”
“Okay.”

Barry is magic
That might be fine as it is.
It’s magic, so you’re using mana, right? I don’t know if Bari can build it… What… Wouldn’t there be mana stones or something like that?
And when it comes to magic, it counts, right? Just calculating the formula…
Calculations can never follow Bari. It’s like a walking calculator.
“Honestly, I’m at a loss as to where and how to start teaching.”
Just as Bari was delusional about casting super-giant meteor magic, Eleanor approached with a sword sheath.
A sigh filled his slightly tired face.
Are you shocked to see my skills?
To be honest, even if it’s like me, I don’t think it’s a joke.
If you leave Bari aside, am I a newbie who can’t do anything at all? There are human men. How I hate to have to wait on a kid like that.
“Yes. That’s why he only beat me.”
“… It’s not necessarily meaningless. First of all, we have to start by facing the incoming attack.”
“Yes, but is that really possible? It’s natural to close your eyes.”
“If you have intelligence, you can overcome it. Instinct means, after all, to preserve the weak body, and strength means to escape from instinct.”
What.
Is it an elven philosophy?
“It starts with opening your eyes. Instructor wanted to tell you that too.”
“Nope. He just wanted to beat me. That emotions are present. How many times have you killed me in your mind?”
“That’s what…”
Ellie nodded her head slightly.
Does this guy look like that too?
Do you want to beat me like that?
No, why are you all like this? What did I do wrong!!
“I’m so anxious that everyone couldn’t eat me.”
“I can’t help it because Sihwan is human. Originally born with intellect, beings tend to become others. Sometimes it becomes the basis for discrimination and oppression. Unfortunately, ‘humans’ are the ones who are considered to be especially insignificant among them, so some noise is unavoidable. Moreover… Shihwan has a little arrogant side, right?”
What else is typing…
Don’t you think you can look knowledgeable by using difficult words? Uh?
“Okay… You’re a philosophical elf, right? You are also a very unique concept.”
“… It is not a concept.”
“Okay. Okay. But what are you going to do? Rather, do you have any intention of telling me properly?”
It’s not meant to be sarcastic, it’s a sincere question.
As of today, I started taking care of myself, but of course it’s not voluntary, and training myself now isn’t voluntary either.
If he said he would teach me properly in this situation, he would be a pretty good kid.
“Elf puts sincerity in every moment. My actions are the same as my values. The final lever for intellect is my own judgment, not circumstances.”
“No;; So, are you going to do it right?”
Why is your tongue so long
“Of course.”
“Okay. Next time, won’t you give me a relatively simple answer?”
“Are my words difficult?”
“It’s more needlessly verbose than difficult.”
“…… Okay.”
Ellie stunned and nodded her head with a smacked face.
Did I say it too openly?
“For now—”
Quaang – !
Ellie was about to say something when she heard a loud bang.
This is where Barry was.
“…… It’s ridiculous.”
There was Yuina with a bewildered expression, her eyes twitching while watching the scene in front of her.
“Okay. This is mana… Principles of this world.”
Bari looked at her palms and muttered like a boy suffering from secondary illness, exuding the dignity of a great mage.
Countless fireballs scattered around her,
And even now, those that proliferate in real time contained heat that seemed to melt the whole earth right now.
Perhaps the binge I just heard set one of them off.
“Once you know the principle, the rest is simple. I’ll implement it myself. Thank you for your teaching.”
After looking at her hand her for a while, Bari brought her hands together and bowed to Yuina.
“Word… Can’t even… ! Barry is… Isn’t today the first time?!”
Eleanor was greatly surprised.
He was so surprised that he even dropped the sword called life on the swordsman.
“Uh… It’s my first time, but… What do you want?”
I think it’s great, but…
“When you say magic, you just formulate it, draw a magic circle, and implement it, right?”
“Yes…First, you have to be able to recognize the flow of mana, you have to be able to deal with that perception, and finally you have to implement it so that it can flow according to the formula.”
Eleanor, startedled, began to explain something grandiose.
“Even our highly intelligent [Elves] Need six months just to recognize mana… To deal with it as intended, you have to sell it out for a year. But Barry…”
That’s not enough, to even succeed in realizing magic right here—
After she finished her words, she sighed and picked up her dropped sword again.
“Yeah, sometimes it happens. People with a natural talent for feeling and handling mana. From the time they are born, they tend to handle mana like breathing. However… Even so, implementing magic is on a whole different level.”
“Can’t you do that? Like a fireball.”
“I can… But… Realizing magic requires a lot of calculation. It takes months of training to master even rudimentary magic….”
Hmm.
As expected, it’s just a calculation.
“… Are you a monster?”
Yui opened her mouth as if I was fed up with it too.
“Hey, Instructor. Is that that difficult?”
I already knew about it from Ellie, but she deliberately asked.
Hi-Hi. I have to keep mentioning the greatness of our bari.
“… Only 10 minutes between hearing about the concept of magic and seeing my demonstration. If you succeed in materializing it with just this, you are a great genius worthy of being recorded in the history of the continent.”
My bar is a little too great.
“Barry, was it difficult?”
“… You are naughty. There are others here.”
Barry smiled slightly.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been difficult at all.
It’s not called a super-intelligent interface for nothing.
“Now~ Bari, explain your specifications.”
“… You won’t understand anyway?”
“It’s okay. It’s time to brag.”
“….”
Bari looked at me like a sick person, but eventually she opened her mouth.
“I am a super-intelligence interface-based household AI, a parallel operator of 3853 trillion super-intelligence atoms with a floating-point operation amount of 16 quadrats (10 to the 52nd power) per second, and re-convergence using quantum superposition and quantum entanglement between super-intelligence atoms. Parallel operation is possible.”
“….”
“….”
“This is a figure that can carry out a total of 7.37 million simulations from birth -0.00001 seconds to 17.7 billion years of existence of a cosmic entity with a diameter of about 313.7 billion light years in diameter, based on the planetary species humanity, every second, and vice versa. Also possible.”
“….”
“….”
“However, as it currently uses only the resources in its body, its performance is in a drastically reduced state.”
Bari tried hard to explain, but of course no one understood.
Including me
It’s the first time I’ve heard this in detail.
“For your reference, Fireball just ran a for statement in Java. I made it into an object, so if you need it, let me know.”
No… No one can use that….
