Reincarnation Band Magician

"My hair is a little warped."

Toyokawa Shoko pressed it for him.

In the absence of a mirror in the room, they became each other's mirrors.

In the Cage: 21. Call on the Magic

Tidying up each other's appearance shows that we are serious about the day.

There is something very important today - learning basic magic theory.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi mentioned this matter yesterday. Toyokawa Shoko and he forcibly suppressed the urge to read, and after a good rest, waited until now.

The more important the matter is, the more fully prepared you should be to meet it.

"I'd like you to take a look at this."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi handed the manuscript to Aite.

Firstly, there might be problems with their understanding of some words, and secondly, it was to allow Aite to confirm whether there was any problem with her own understanding.

Ancient language is very different from the current one, and the evolution of some meanings cannot be understood without in-depth research.

One of the few things about Solitaire that received positive reviews was her knowledge. Perhaps no living human understood Volame's theory more deeply than she did. This was an indisputable advantage accumulated over the years.

Aite understood what he meant.

"Then let me tell you about it."

After a quick read, the lady sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, her understanding was a bit shallow, after all, she was not a professional.

If I had seen it earlier, I could have avoided some detours - but since the road was not very long, it is not a pity and can be improved.

I still need to continue learning.

Thinking in his mind, Aite began teaching.

"These are the words of the great magician known as the 'Ancestor of Universal Magic,' the great man named Volame. His disciples recorded and compiled them, and then systematically sorted them out..."

She expanded on her explanation, "Because of changing times and the continuous refinement of magic's application areas, most people now don't need to be exposed to these things from the beginning. But unfortunately, I never learned magic before."

Volame's introductory theory is very good, but it requires a lot of understanding and talent. Compared with ancient magic, modern magic has been divided into more fields, and the entry threshold has been lowered again and again, so it does not need to be so comprehensive.

Unfortunately, Aite "never went to school" and his talent is limited.

As a self-taught demon, Solitaire was equivalent to a wild academician. She judged others by herself and thought that everyone could do this. She didn't expect that Zhang Yu Aitka was just getting started.

Now, it's Nagasaki Kiyoshi and Toyokawa Shoko's turn to show their talents.

Aite took Solitaire's translated theory word for word, chewed it up and fed it to them, just like he had fed Clara in the past, and corrected his own understanding in the process.

"magic……"

It was an ordinary morning. The little child did not get any response from his mother and brothers and sisters, so he cried and asked to listen to the twinkle little stars. The sea breeze swept across the roof, and in the distance seabirds were quarreling with chickens, clucking and chirping.

The person who was teaching was, according to the standards of a century later, an apprentice magician who had barely reached the ninth or eighth level of strength.

There is no atmosphere that one should have when in touch with the mysterious world.

But the three people here ignored everything around them, immersed themselves in it, and had forgotten their surroundings.

There's really nothing special about it.

In fact, countless choices that are enough to change one's destiny are made at such ordinary moments that leave a vague impression. Only when people look back many years later will they feel that they were special.

Aite recited the words of the great magician Volame more than a thousand years ago, the words he told his disciples.

Explain the cornerstone of this world, the basic force that all things in this world are born and grow from, the force that causes humans and non-humans to fight constantly, forming this chain of hatred - magic.

Only with a deep understanding can we perceive and capture it in ourselves and in nature.

It lies dormant in the human body, growing like muscles, bones and blood vessels, waiting, waiting.

“—Go call it.”

Aite looked at the two of them with anticipation and sadness.

She hoped they were talented, but also hoped they weren't.

Because the more outstanding her talent is, the more heartbroken she would be if she was trapped here and unable to display it.

People appreciate the melodious singing of canaries and nightingales in cages, but feel sad for the hawks that find it difficult to spread their wings.

Shoko Toyokawa once again recalled what she had just memorized word for word, understood it, and then acted according to the theory.

"magic……"

she called softly.

Something that flows in everything, as natural as water, air and dust.

Just wake up.

I seem to feel it, like the blood and heartbeat, flowing and beating——

"Buzz!"

What penetrates the soul.

My brain went blank for a moment under this impact.

"Hmm—"

It's like the dizziness and tinnitus caused by low blood sugar, filling the head.

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't hear the sounds around her. She saw Nagasaki Kiyoshi looking at her worriedly and handing her a handkerchief.

"Why did you give me the handkerchief?"

She opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't hear what she was saying.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi had no choice but to raise his hand and wipe her chin and nose with a handkerchief, which was stained with blood.

Fortunately, it was only a little and stopped quickly.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi looked at her with a smile, and the card appeared:

【Congratulations. 】

Shoko Toyokawa was stunned at first, and then a false calmness came over her, as if she already knew she was going to the stage to receive the award, but had to pretend to be calm before her name was called. In this floating "calmness", she felt her surroundings.

A formless thing enveloped her.

But a sense that was not one of the five senses told her that there was something there.

Magic, the power of another world, the true key to controlling destiny...

"Great stockings!"

The eldest lady smiled brightly. The helplessness that had been suppressed for several long months was finally released. The surprise at this moment made her temporarily put aside her reserve. She hugged Nagasaki Kiyoshi vigorously, then separated, shook hands, hugged, and kissed him on the cheek.

Then she ran to Aite and hugged the woman who reminded her of her mother. Aite gave her an awkward but polite smile and a pat on the back as encouragement.

Even little Clara was not spared. Shoko Toyokawa picked up the baby, ran to the first-floor lobby, opened the grand piano, and played Johann Strauss Sr.'s "Radetzky March" under the skeleton specimens of whales and sharks.

She hadn't recovered her hearing yet, and the sudden outburst impacted her hearing, but it wasn't a big deal and could be ignored.

This is indeed worth celebrating.

The cheerful and lively music allows everyone who hears it to feel the joy.

Aite noticed several omissions in the connection, but still applauded the music and the little girl's happiness.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi followed suit and applauded.

Aite looked at him, "Do you feel anything?"

"A little bit, but not as exaggerated as her."

While he was genuinely happy for Xiangzi, Nagasaki Kiyoshi himself was actually feeling a little lost.

Because he couldn't be like Xiangzi, who could burst out with magic power with a "swish" and be as brilliant and amazing as fireworks.

His magic flows quietly.

Aite felt it and felt a little dazed, so he stepped back and left the range where the magic power was flowing.

It's clear now.

The total amount is three times hers and more than five times Xiangzi's.

silence.

You can't expect rivers and streams to be as lively and cheerful, right?

In the Cage: 22, Perception and the Battle of the Northern Plateau

The third place winner only remembered to congratulate Nagasaki Kiyoshi after he came back from opening the champagne.

"Sorry! I was so excited just now. Qing, how are you feeling?"

"I understand. I can feel it too."

To say I wasn't excited at this point would be a lie.

Although magic is rare for the people of this land, it can still be seen several times a year in remote areas, and there are fewer formal magicians.

For them, magic is something that exists only in fantasy.

The excitement I felt when I came into contact with the goddess is completely different from the feeling of having power in my own hands now.

While talking, they showed each other cards, and on the skill panel, [Magic Release] was shown as learned.

but……

Nagasaki Kiyoshi fell silent as he looked at the skill names on his side.

【Magic Unleashed: Demons】

Is this right?

The feeling I had before, that something was growing and brewing, hadn’t disappeared yet, it was just blossoming a little now.

There's a kind of discomfort that comes from having a crack in an eggshell opened but not being able to stick your head out.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi temporarily suppressed his discomfort and encouraged Toyokawa Shoko with a smile, "You understand much faster than I do."

"It's just so-so..."

Aite was standing beside him, smiling but also a little sad.

Their talents are indeed very good, especially Nagasaki Kiyoshi.

When you first come into contact with magic, the growth rate is very fast. Your body is like an opened bottle of wine. After replenishing the magic, it will increase by at least one third, and doubling is common.

Her own aptitude, combined with the level of her training for a month or two, was only slightly better than that of Toyokawa Shoko, who hadn't yet stabilized...

Sure enough, she lacked talent.

This did not disappoint Aite because she had known it a long time ago.

Now she was simply worried about these two people, but looking at their cheerful expressions, she couldn't say anything to express her frustration.

Xiangzi spoke excitedly for a long time, saying that she wanted to become a great magician, learn powerful magic, help many people, and read many books...

It seems that he still has some sense and did not say anything like defeating Solitiel.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi responded with a smile.

At the same time, it was discovered that his magic perception skill also appeared, and it also had a suffix - [Magic Perception·Demon Clan]

I can see some things in my field of vision that I couldn’t see before. It must be magic. It’s very clear. As long as I think about it, I can see the details clearly.

It doesn't require much energy or effort, just like focusing your eyes, it can be done easily.

Now he saw that Toyokawa Shoko was covered with a layer of grayish-white fog-like substance, which seemed to be slowly expanding.

Aite also has it on his body, it is a circle larger than the one around Xiangzi and is very stable.

I couldn't feel anything on my own body, and when I tried to see it with that kind of vision, it felt as unreal as if I were looking through flowing water.

Is it because it's too weak?
