chapter 148
148. Organizing and preparing (1)
Humans are extremely inferior compared to elves.
Sometimes the royalty and the royal family, who are at the top of the pyramid they created, and sometimes only the nobles who have inherited outstanding blood put their feet on the same line as us. That’s all.
The vast majority of them are short-lived, inferior species that have nothing to boast about other than the number of heads compared to us elves.
A human’s innate ability and an elf’s innate ability. The lifespan granted to humans and the lifespan granted to the children of our forests.
Unless you inherit a great destiny according to the mandate of Heaven or you are a new human being.
The saying that they will never catch up to us.
Among them, the gap is absolute especially in spirit art.
Humans are the most inferior to all races with personalities in their talent for spiritism, and the level of the level is also low due to their racial limitations.
On the other hand, elves are superior to anyone else when it comes to elemental magic. It is not enough to call the gap between the two absolute.
So, the theory is that humans gaining the upper hand in contact with elves through spiritism is like picking stars from the sky.
“… Are you more adept at handling elemental magic than you thought?”
Ray was different.
The operation of the technology was quite splendid.
According to the investigation, it is said that he is a born child with the worst, lowest class among corrupt humans.
Furthermore, how did he build up mana with the body of a man and solidify his understanding of spirit magic this far?
‘I know you don’t have a teacher.’
If only he had revealed to the slave trader that he could wield magic.
A male slave who knows how to use magic.
Those who die for money and live for money will spread rumors all over the continent in order to quickly dispose of him at a higher price.
Rumors and special male slaves whose facts have been confirmed.
In that case, acknowledging his uniqueness, the royal family or large merchants of each country would have tried to purchase him by paying a price of 100 million won, which was impossible to arrange for such a Margrave.
Unless the story spreads so much. It means that Ray hid his abilities…….
‘It’s amazing.’
As long as he hides his powers, he’ll be his mentor too. He would have had no one to find and attach a teacher to.
How on earth can he show skillful management as if he had been immersed in spiritism for several years under a competent teacher?
Even if it was to keep the secret that you can handle magic, you wouldn’t have enough time to practice spirit magic.
Friel, who was predicting his level, started to laugh so hard that her dimples were caught.
‘Is it really a gift from heaven?’
As the branch of thought grows and spreads, the goal of interest deepens.
Moreover… As if playing with a ball like this wasn’t enough, he even smelled a stronger scent of spirits.
The situation is the situation.
It’s hard to suppress the creeping greed that I put aside for a while thinking of a young lady who is important to us.
As Friel looked at him quietly, Ray, who had a slightly chilly smile, said.
“I just did what my senses told me.”
Turbuck. Turbuck.
As soon as he finishes his words, someone’s footsteps are heard.
A thing from Elisa, who was quietly watching from behind Friel.
She must have been quite impressed with her appearance just now, and she was showing an expression that no one else could see.
Elisa’s achromatic poker face that usually hangs on her face has collapsed.
She opened her eyes wide and caught the wind circulating infinitely above Ray’s hand in her eyes.
Then Elisa quietly hides her body behind Friel’s model and quietly whispers.
“… Friel-sama, did you watch it for that human?”
“Hmm—”
Friel turned her head and glanced at her Elisa, then shrugged her shoulders with her mischievous smile.
“It’s true that she didn’t take it very seriously, but it’s also true that she didn’t even think about watching.”
“… Okay.”
“Rumor has it that one shot of an arrow encased in magic annihilated the demon. Wouldn’t you like to see it with your own eyes, Elisa?”
“Yes, I definitely want to check it out.”
“Okay, then let’s talk about it.”
With those words, Friel shifted her attention from Elisa to Ray again.
“Ray, your arrow pierced the devil. Can you show me the magic that surrounds that arrow?”
Ray looked at Friel Arielt and shook her head softly.
“Sorry. It seems that such a risky operation here is a little difficult. But she told Elisa that she could show you something as fun as that.”
The sphere in Ray’s hand grew larger and larger.
The sphere, which has inflated to a certain extent, instantly becomes a bright red light source and illuminates the surroundings with vermilion light.
Pop!
An exploded sphere. The condensed wind and wind road scatter in all directions.
The wide wind roads spread out like a sheet of music on a pure white background. The flames flow over the music paper as if I myself became musical notes.
“Wow… ….”
Shione, who was behind me, sighed in a dazed voice, lost in amazement at the beautiful scenery unfolding on a bright day.
Ray continued, yes, I smiled lightly at the voice.
“I’ll show you some pretty big magic, if not as much as then.”
I drew attention.
Right now, I don’t have any magical arrows or small stones in my hand.
As much as I have to fill the air with the miracle I manifested right away. I slowly killed the flow of the world that my senses accepted.
The field of view gradually narrows. I don’t need a field of vision beyond the scope of my magic.
Calms the senses. Now I don’t need any senses to feel the wind or the warmth of the sun.
It calms the five senses and opens only the sixth sense that feels and handles mana.
‘Start with the wind.’
The atmosphere begins to shake.
At the same time as my mana is consumed, turbulence arises and begins to swirl.
Weeds that have grown low on the ground lie down in the wind, and the small leaves that have newly bloomed on the branches sway busily.
Condensed, condensed essence of wind.
‘Next is fire.’
Squeeze mana into it to create the essence of fire.
Even hotter, let’s put it in only after changing the color from red to blue. Achromatic airflow. As if a drop of red paint was dropped into water, blue energy spreads out.
‘What did you do, mana is already running out… ….’
I don’t think I did much, but more than 50% of the mana has already been deleted.
There’s nothing more to do here, and just maintaining the status quo consumes quite a bit of mana.
Without hesitation, I shot the compressed magic into the sky.
Huung!
Essence of fire that went up in an intense updraft.
At the moment it reached a certain altitude, a small explosion and beautiful fireworks burst out at the same time.
Like fireworks. Blue flames exploded brightly to illuminate the world, below which the mana supply was cut off and the temperature cooled down.
Fireworks that have returned to red color burst and scatter in a turbulent flow.
Then, all those who became sparks became a beautiful rain that hit the ground and disappeared.
‘Even though it’s a waste of mana.’
From gathering and compressing turbulence to creating tiny essences of flame.
If you don’t have a fair amount of understanding and a bit of talent in elemental magic, even trying it would be a waste. For a man from this world who seemed to have been cursed with mana, it was a high-level skill.
At this level, the elves must have had a good time watching it.
‘Besides—’
The more aggressive and sharp shot from this is like the magic I pierced the demon.
Elves who are so confident in their spirit skills will be able to understand that what I just showed you is not just for performance.
I caught my breath and looked at the elves in front of me.
As expected.
“How was it? This time—”
Friel and Elisa looked up at the sky without saying a word, then looked at me with sunken eyes.
From the fact that they are looking at my spirit art with dead serious eyes, to say that they acknowledge my skill to some extent.
“Did you enjoy it?”
It doesn’t matter if they don’t smile brightly.
Humans, who have always been ignored, thought it was their own territory, and the inferior short-lived species considered it a sanctuary that they could never catch up to, so they used spiritism so beautifully.
It wasn’t something they didn’t know about the embarrassment they were harboring.
Also, I am enjoying the situation instead of them.
Whoever smiles in this situation.
“Wow. Wow.”
It was enough for me and Shione, who were admiring the sky alternately, with something broken.
* *
A woman in a maid’s uniform came to the gymnasium.
She, the maid who always assists her child Nel Cianella, sought out Siabel and Diolia, and the two of them greeted her maid.
“The head of the household is looking for Dioria.”
“Are you talking about the lord?”
“Yes, I have something important to tell you, so he told me to come back after tidying up my outfit.”
“Um. Then… ….”
After taking a short break, Dioria got up from her seat and bowed her head to Siabel.
“Siabelle-sama, I think I should go see the head of the household today.”
“My mother is calling me, but I can’t help it. Great job.”
“Yes, the more sparring continues…. Siabelle-sama’s sword path has been becoming more diverse lately, so clear results will come soon. It was fun today.”
“Whoa, what if a person who becomes a knight develops the skill of flattery faster than the sword? Come on. Mom won’t like it if it’s too late.”
“If… I will go first.”
It was at that moment that Dioria left with her maid.
“Um…… ?”
A single fireball rising into the sky.
Pop!
Then the explosion that followed.
The fire spread and covered the sky not far away.
“What the hell is this…….”
Siabel, who was still looking at the sky, said with a frown.
“Raid… ?”
Siabelle came out of the gym holding a real sword instead of a training sword.
