Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

"My point is this: starting with Saint-level magic, due to the dramatic increase in spell size, the casting logic seems to become completely different from that below Saint-level. This is probably why upper, middle, and lower levels are all considered entry-level magic, right? I think it's quite beneficial for you to be exposed to and learn techniques and skills like maintaining and controlling large spells for long periods of time, as well as compressing magic power."

Gawain was silent for a moment.

He tried to explain:

"In order to avoid causing too serious an impact on the village, let's first establish a new base in a more remote uninhabited area before starting the Saint-level magic-related courses."

He paused again:

"Oh right, we still need to solve the problem of mobility. Let Rudeus and I make four finished gliders first."

He noticed that everyone seemed to be silent, and the atmosphere became worse. He felt a tightness in his chest:

"Anyway, let's start the class once you're ready."

After that, no one mentioned learning Water Saint-level magic again.

That night, the little teacher, who only came once a week, made an exception and came to sleep with the brother and sister. This time, Gawain slept in the middle. When he woke up, he found himself inexplicably curled up in Lokixi's arms, holding her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave in the blink of an eye.

Since the advanced magic class has ended, the planned holy magic class has not been replaced, so even with Teacher Luo Qixi's new course to make up for it, there is still a large gap in everyone's daily class time.

Finally, after discussion, everyone felt that it might be better to leave it as free time for everyone.

Rudeus hoped to have more spare time to continue developing his glider. Despite occasional assistance from Gawain, he was still diligently tinkering with the details, particularly the crucial issues of cost, confidentiality, and production lines. A jumble of design drafts and experimental records filled dozens of notebooks and overflowing wooden boxes. Currently, funding for his experiments relied entirely on the several prototypes Paul had helped sell to high-ranking nobles. He seemed to view this invention as a kind of proof and spiritual support.

As for Sylphy, now almost five, she's becoming more independent. Perhaps because she occasionally accompanies her mother to play with Mrs. Senesi and the others, Sylphy has become more interested in cooking and gardening this year. She wants more time to learn the tricks of the housewives from her mother and Aunt Senesi.

By the way, Debbie's mother joked before that "little Sylphy will definitely be a good wife in the future", and Sylphy nodded very happily. Gawain, who accidentally saw this scene, blushed for a long time, and his whole body was wildly wavering between maintaining it for ten years and maintaining it for one hundred and fifty years.

[Human God: Damn? Is my vision broken? Why is it flashing so fast?]

As for Roxy, Gawain doesn't care (×).

In fact, almost four months ago, Lokisi successfully completed all chants except for the Saint level. The healing magic system had been a long struggle for her, but she managed to navigate it successfully thanks to Rudeus's experience. As for the Water Saint level, she hadn't had the chance to try it, mainly because it made too much noise. Since then, Lokisi has been using her free time to transform her notes into a book, and Gawain occasionally lends his hand. However, Lokisi hasn't decided when to publish the book, apparently planning to wait until everyone is older and more independent. The royalties will be divided equally among the four of them.

Of course, it was Rudius's idea to divide it equally. Teacher Luo Qixi planned to give it all to Rudius and Gawain, while Gawain planned to give it all to Rudius, which made Luo Qixi very angry.

And finally Gawain.

Because he seemed to have nothing to do, he was often drafted into the army, and was advised by everyone that Gao Wen, who was doing exercises in his mind, should have some hobbies.

Chapter 36 Five Years Old

January 22, 412 in the Jialong calendar.

Sylphy is five years old.

Due to the precedent of Gao Wen a year and a half ago, the preparations for the birthday celebration naturally could not be concealed, so everyone discussed it openly this time.

Gao Wen naturally participated heavily in it.

Perhaps out of a mentality of "If someone like me can have such a fifth birthday party, Sylphy should have something better", he even requested that classes be suspended on his birthday.

After classes were suspended, everyone stayed in Gawain and Sylphy's room, where the four of them spent the entire day playing "games" called, according to the inventor, Rudeus, "Monopoly" and "UNO." Rudeus had originally intended to teach everyone Blackjack and Texas Hold'em, but the perceptive teacher, Roxy, noticed the gambling element almost immediately after he'd explained the rules and reported them to Lady Senesi.

Of course, the result was that Paul was punished for breaking the family rules.

The dishes at the birthday party that night were not as sumptuous as those at Gawain's, which was mainly due to seasonal factors. However, after the last polishing, the whole process has reached the limit of what everyone can do.

Not only was there a birthday cake, but there was also a birthday wreath and fancy venue decorations. Although it was confined to the small living room, it made people feel that a banquet for a noble might be no more than this.

The important part is of course the gift.

Gao Wen was undoubtedly ranked first. After growing his hair for almost two years, he had already started using the red headband that his sister had knitted for him. His slightly curly black medium-length hair was tied into a meticulous ponytail with two bangs on his forehead. He had grown into a handsome young man.

Having learned to smile sincerely, he knelt on one knee in front of his sister and opened the dark brown wooden box in his hand. Inside was an ice-blue magic stone pendant strung together with a silver Chopin chain. However, this clear magic stone was not large in size and was carved into an exquisite hexagonal snowflake shape. Gawain took out the necklace and put it on her in front of Sylphy's surprised eyes.

Of course, this magic stone necklace was created by Gawain himself using magic. Although the raw materials were all picked up by him from the Conflict Zone, he later claimed to everyone that he had accidentally obtained it while traveling with Elina Lijie.

He also learned to cheat, although he rarely did so.

The gifts the Lorzes prepared for their daughter were presented together. Since acquiring the land, they had saved a considerable sum, and this time, they used a significant portion to buy their daughter a high-end, gold-plated fountain pen. After consulting with Teacher Lokisi, they had a professional leatherworker craft a versatile and practical mage's bag. It could hold notebooks, pens and ink, spell materials, scrolls, small wands, magic stones, and other essential items, and could easily be converted into a shoulder bag, backpack, or waist bag. These were all incredibly practical gifts, thoughtful gifts that would last for many years. The next day, Sylphy happily donned her own mage's bag, looking like a witch-in-training.

Rudeus's gift was a giant stuffed bear doll that he, Aunt Senis, and Miss Lilia had worked hard to make. It was about 1.5 meters tall when sitting, and Rudeus called it a "teddy bear." However, everyone said they had never heard of this species.

Teacher Roxy's gift was a wizard robe she had custom-made at a noble tailor's shop. It was said to be made from the belly hide of a mid-level snow beast, roughly snow-white in color, with a wide hood to cover Sylphy's hair. But if she gave him clothes, wouldn't he be able to wear them in two years? Gawain doubted that this guy had ever had anyone to give gifts to before, otherwise how could he have run out of ideas so quickly?

The perfume Paul gave me was a relatively fresh one.

The person in question said rather smugly, "According to my experience, girls of Sylphy's age should soon be interested in these things." Considering that Sylphy really liked them, he was temporarily forgiven.

After the gifts, there was the customary cake and wish-making session. Sylphy made a wish very seriously, but it is said that wishes will not come true if they are spoken out loud, so no one knew what she was thinking at the time.

The lively dinner ended.

After the Rudeus family said goodbye and left, everyone in the Rolds family also finished washing up and prepared to rest. In Gawain and Sylphy's bedroom, Gawain suddenly took out a box from the closet and asked Sylphy to take out the wooden box that had previously contained the necklace. He turned the box over and opened it. On the other side was a pair of ice-blue earrings in the shape of stars and moons.

"Sylphy, here are the other two parts of the gift. As for the earrings, how about you wear them when you're ten or fifteen, when you're an adult?"

Gawain took out the earrings, tried them on Sylphy's ears, and smiled.

"It's very beautiful."

Sylphy smiled shyly, put her hands behind her back, and tapped the ground with one toe.

"Brother is handsome too!"

Gao Wen put away the jewelry, picked up the corner of his hairband with his fingers, and smiled helplessly and dotingly:

"This isn't a topic for complimenting each other, is it?"

He placed the jewelry box and the black metal box he had taken out earlier on the table, pointed at the three grooves on the box, and said:

"Inside this is the battle equipment I prepared for you. The box needs to be unlocked with the magic stones from the three accessories you collected today. Sylphy, open it when you feel you need strength. If possible, I hope it would be best if you never open it."

Sylphy nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

Gao Wen did not continue the topic, but extended his hand and invited:

"Next, Miss Sylphiette, would you like your brother to take you to see other scenery?"

Sylphy had complete and unconditional trust in Gawain. She clapped her hands and said joyfully:

"of course yes!"

Gawain put on his cloak with a large white collar for her, held the princess-like girl in his arms, opened the window and flew out, leaving only the plain green curtains fluttering back and forth on the desk.

As the altitude continued to rise, Sylphy did not hear the strong wind sound like when flying normally. She could vaguely feel that her brother's flight this time seemed a little different from the usual ones.

But what is the difference?

Little Sylphy's brain was completely unable to think carefully. She curled up happily in her brother's arms, smelling the familiar pleasant smell and feeling the warm and soft touch of her brother, just hoping that such a day would never end.

Soon, the boy and the girl broke through the thin clouds and stood quietly above the sky.

This is a height Sylphy has never reached before.

Sylphy poked her little head out of her brother's arms and looked around, her red eyes filled with shock. The village below was completely submerged in darkness, not as clear as the flat white clouds beneath her feet. In the distance, she could even see the night lights of Royal City. They raised their heads and saw the bright moon above them, with scattered stars suppressed by the moonlight.

Compared to the familiar land, at this moment, they seemed closer to the starry sky.

Gawain pointed to the sky and said to his sister with a smile:

"Sylphy, let me introduce you. Look, that's where I come from."

Sylphy tilted her head back, her eyes and mind filled with stars, and she smiled happily in her brother's arms.

At the age of five, she still doesn't know.

Her brother had confessed to her at that time.

Physiological and Ability Benchmark Report Gao Wen

[5,000 words long article, you can skip it if you are not interested]

【Not reading this article will not affect normal viewing】

【Discussion is welcome, but please do not engage in high-intensity debate】

This article aims to explain the identity and abilities of the protagonist Gawain.

From the prologue, Gawain's true identity is simple.

He is the last pure-blooded prince of the Vitrum Empire from the main universe of "The Invincible Young Hero" (of course, in fact, the father of the original protagonist, Almighty Man, is also a descendant of the royal family, but even the person involved does not know it).

The reason why the author chose this background is simple.

First of all, the animation of "The Invincible Young Hero" is really well done, and the portrayal of the battle is great. I also like the plot of the drama version and the original work. I recommend that readers who can accept American comics to take a look.

Secondly, although it's an American comic, the core of "Wudiqi Shaoxia" is actually quite consistent with "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World." Ultimately, it's a story about "growth," "family," "love," and "responsibility." It's a perfect match.

However, I most likely will not write about Gawain returning to the universe of "The Invincible Young Hero", at least I will not let Gawain interfere with the original plot. After all, the original plot has been largely completed, and I have no opinions or suggestions about it.

In short.

The author tentatively sets it up like this:

The Royal V-Stars possess a higher limit on their abilities and intelligence than the average V-Star. Therefore, the author defines Gawain as having a higher potential for growth than Mark, the protagonist of "The Invincible Youngster," and the Regent, the original ceiling of combat power. (Note: This refers to a later point in the comics, where the V-Star warriors abandon the Regent and claim to have followed the late emperor because of his wisdom.)

Second.

Gawain is a time traveler, but he is a flesh traveler who traveled through time with the help of technology. Therefore, he started out as a baby with a prenatal education intelligent brain, at best a Uyghur baby.

Many readers may not be familiar with the setting of the Weixing people.

Although it is tempting to describe it roughly as a simple version of Superman, or a flying Man of Steel version of the Super Saiyan, the differences are actually quite large, so I will explain them in detail and make some modifications below.

I will first give the settings and explanations of the original version, and then give the settings of this book version and the reasons for the changes.

【Western People Setting】

1. Height, appearance, etc.: No different from humans on Earth.

[Continue settings]

2. Issues such as reproductive isolation: It seems that there is no reproductive isolation between human-like intelligent races.

(Because the original work is a classic American comic, there are no non-human aliens at all, so I suspect that the reproductive ability of the U-stars is on the same level as the D&D dragons, and by the way, their aesthetic ability is also on the same level. However, the U-stars' genes are more aggressive than the dragons.)

[Follow the setting and refer to the dragon]

3. Civilization and culture: militarism, imperialism, supremacy of force, the law of the jungle, socialism, purism, rationalism, racial discrimination, and so on (including extreme patriarchy in a non-gender sense).

(This is most likely a reference to the Kryptonian Empire. At its peak, the V-Empire had at least billions of pure-blooded V-Empires ruling a vast galaxy-sized empire. A single pure-blooded V-Empire could suppress or even destroy an entire planet's civilization. Choosing a regent required proving oneself to be the strongest warrior, and they were willing to fight to the point of halving the population.)

[Following the setting, the education system in Gawain's mind usually teaches these things.]

4. Lifespan: The lifespan of pure-blooded people should be at least ten thousand years.

(In the original novel, the Omnipotent Man said that Mark had a lifespan of several thousand years, but this refers to mixed-bloods, and at the time the Omnipotent Man did not know that mixed-blooded Uyghurs were essentially pure-blooded. Therefore, I guess that pure-blooded Uyghurs can live for at least 10,000 years. In addition, since no one has died of old age, it might not be difficult for them to live for more than 20,000 years.)

[According to the setting, the power of the theory of longevity is infinite!]

5. Self-healing ability: probably second only to the undead demons.

(First, severed limbs can't be regrown out of thin air, as seen in the original novel's Conqueror. Second, the heart is considered a vital organ, and damage to it affects recovery speed. If the recovery speed is slower than the blood loss rate, the person will die, as seen in the Omnipotent Man. The brain is considered an absolute vital organ, but the concept of this absolute vital organ is also vague. Conqueror's brain was splattered all over the floor, but he was still saved. As for the recovery of other parts of the body, see the protagonist Mark, who took several months to grow back after his internal organs were hollowed out. A minor injury is basically a sleep injury, a fracture is a week to a half a month, and a fatal injury is three to six months.

Basically, severed limbs can't regenerate, and reduced recovery and increased injuries can lead to death. Other serious injuries can be healed by simply replacing the parts, with the exception of the brain and heart.

[If we stick with the setting, with healing magic, the self-healing setting is actually meaningless, especially since it still doesn't allow for regeneration of severed limbs. However, as long as there's a skeleton, new limbs can be grown, which means that Saint-level magic can be used to regenerate severed limbs in disguise.]

6. Survival: They can go weeks or even months without drinking water, eating, sleeping, or breathing. They can easily survive in the deep sea, underground, and in space.

(The first half seems to require practice, but surviving in space, the deep sea, and the like is something you're born with. I'm very confused about this. Given the power of the Weixing people, even if they destroyed their food, there wouldn't be enough energy. Think of food as the periodic trigger for a perpetual motion machine.)

[Adopt the settings.]

7. Flight and Speed: They are naturally able to control the force of gravity around their bodies, though this is also achieved through the aid of certain organs within their ears. Acceleration requires practice, as does the ability to withstand resistance. However, reaching over 100 times the speed of sound within the atmosphere seems easy, and in space, exceeding the speed of light is also possible very quickly.

(There's not much to say about the superluminal part. As we all know, American comics don't have relativistic effects. As long as there's enough fuel and the thrust-to-weight ratio is acceptable, chemical rockets can also fly faster than light. What's more, controlling gravity is equivalent to unlimited fuel, and there's no physical energy consumption. The physical energy consumption of flying in the atmosphere is probably purely due to air resistance.

Also, please ignore the possibility of using yourself as light particles or throwing things as light particles at the macro high-speed level, otherwise there will be nothing to write about.

Also, I doubt the Weixing people's gravity control can achieve a similar effect to Superman's biological stance. Otherwise, there's no reason in the original work that they can instantly carry ordinary people to dozens of times the speed of sound, and there's no reason why they can lift and throw heavy objects around without falling apart.)

[The setting is retained, and an ability similar to biological stance is added, limited to protecting external objects.]

8. Defense: It is almost impossible to be poisoned or sick. Normally, it can withstand temperatures of several million degrees without being broken. Low temperatures should generally be able to withstand temperatures other than absolute zero. Other than that, it can only withstand infighting within the same race.

(In fact, most of the Vicians died from genetic viruses. There is no difference in their performance at low temperatures. As for high temperatures, the highest performance is the battle between the protagonist Mark and the Regent at the end. A shower of several million-degree flares is just sweating. The core of the sun over 10 million or even 15 million degrees is devastating and can be fatal. However, according to the official settings, the bodies of Vicians are made up of so-called "intelligent atoms". Death from the core of a star is just weakened by the high-energy radiation environment of the core, which is equivalent to death from chronic kryptonite. If killed in a civil war, ordinary pure-blooded Vicians also have a strength of tens of billions of tons, but I feel that it can be at least hundreds of billions of tons. However, the survivors in the original work are the strongest ones, so the ordinary Vicians in the heyday of Vic should not be so exaggerated.

Even more outrageous is the fact that Mark, in the early to mid-game of the original game, could take a Tsar Bomb-level nuclear bomb head-on, with the explosion in his arms causing zero damage.
