NOVEL NEXT chapter 13
13 – Swordsmanship and Magic Lessons (2)
“The Spitzweg family’s reputation as a child prodigy has been around for a while… But I felt a difference in rank.”
The children around me are buzzing.
Lily is also quite embarrassed.
I heard a little bit, but admitting defeat is a pretty disgraceful act for warriors who practice swordsmanship.
It is common for most women to fight back until they win, far from giving up..
“On the contrary, I was surprised. I never thought that there would be someone in my age who could not only get more than 3 moves out of me, but also attack.”
“That’s an undeserved compliment.”
The two of them stood there talking about swordsmanship for a long time until they heard the instructor’s voice calling for an end to class.
I think they realized how much they were talking.
I didn’t measure the time, but I think we talked for about 20 minutes.
Ina bowed her head first and left the seat.
Lily also walked towards me.
Since it’s magic class right after break time, I guess I’ll sit down and rest for a while.
He sat next to me and looked at me with a slightly pouty expression.
“Did you see it?”
“What?”
No way, are you talking about the pink panties?
I had no choice but to watch it due to force majeure.
I didn’t watch it because I wanted to see it.
Hmm.
“My swordsmanship skills. Your Highness’ wife is strong.”
“Ah..Ah! Swordsmanship, yes, he was really good at it.”
Well, this isn’t a world where girls should feel ashamed for showing some panties.
Lilie grinned as I was stuttering.
This is on purpose.
***
The parade ground, which was free to fight and compete, quickly became quiet when the magic instructor appeared.
Why did all of the chatterers suddenly become quiet?
“Instructor Irenta Magic is one of the heroes who was appointed as the leader of the court mage from a commoner.”
“Hey… Is that difficult?”
“Common people have a low amount of natural magic power, and on top of that, you have risen to the position of the country’s top magician with the even tougher condition of being a human.
He is respected not only by the common people, but also by the nobles.”
“Why is that person an instructor at the academy?”
“Rumor has it that he was seriously injured and is temporarily at the academy…”
Come to think of it, the eyepatch and left leg looked a bit uncomfortable.
Why is the skin color a little artificial, maybe it’s a prosthetic leg…
Our class moved to the Jogwon Indoor Gymnasium next to the parade ground.
Inside it was a large crystal ball.
It is said to be a valuable magic tool that checks the amount of mana.
An assistant instructor who was waiting in the gym to measure mana spoke up.
“As you know, mana is innate, so measuring mana will probably be the first and last.
Also, people of other races, including humans, should be careful not to lose heart by comparing their magic power with the elves.
It’s just that the elves’ magical power is higher than expected, it’s not that your inherent magical power is low.”
“””””Yes!!”””””
“Okay then, come forward from attendance number 1.”
A child with dark brown hair approached Crystal and opened his palms and closed his eyes.
At that moment, the crystal glowed and the measured mana was displayed on the display.
“Attendance number 1, 322 points”
“Ohh…”
Exclamations flowed from the surroundings.
The person concerned is also taking a fighting pose by looking at the amount of mana.
“Over 300 from the beginning, that’s quite high.”
“Lily, how much is 300?”
“Um… Well, I think you can see that there are about 200 enlisted officers of nobles.”
“I don’t understand more…”
“If it exceeds 200, there is no need to worry about finding a job, if it exceeds 250, success is certain, and if it exceeds 300, it is the amount of mana that will take you anywhere.”
That child has become a sweet life without having to worry about getting a job with just one amount of mana.
After graduating, you can get a job at a company or enlist as an enlisted soldier and lead a moderately leisurely life…
Then, one by one, they started checking the amount of magic power.
“122” “157” “211” “129” “166” “154” “132” “111” “96” “51” “9”………
For some reason, going down gradually made me feel bad.
This is because it was similar to the speed of the ‘those’ coins.
And it’s Ina’s turn, the long-awaited elven aristocrat.
How much will it come out?
With a trembling expression, Ina bit her lip and spread her palm in front of her crystal.
Wheeeing
Sujeong makes a noise that sounds like something from a CPU cooler for a while, as if she knew she was overloading herself.
As if to prove it, it shook.
Then it stopped…
“1088”
A different level of magic power came out.
There are exclamations and even children who are pessimistic about their birth as humans.
“As I said before, the elves are only very high. Don’t get frustrated and work hard, and the day will come when you will learn what is more important than magic power.”
The instructor comforted the children once again.
Certainly the difference was too bad…
Then Lillie measured it.
“722”
It was lower than
, But from the point of view of other children, it is already a monster.
Lillie pouted as if she was a bit regretful, but she quickly showed no interest.
She changed her expression and then she walked over to Inna and began to chatter about her.
“Next.”
As I approach Crystal, attention is focused.
Perhaps the biggest concern of freshmen at this academy is
Maybe it’s my mana.
I don’t know what the rumors are about, but my magic power is very high.
I was engaged to the queen, and then to the princess of the duke.
Because rumors like Tungttanji were circulating.
In reality, she is a concubine obtained under the pretext of a promise and an oath of allegiance between her mother and Alice…
When I stood in front of the crystal, the fixed crystal shook slightly.
Am I the only one who saw it? Or is it because of the mood?
Just like before, I stretched out my hand and brought it close to the crystal.
The crystal glowed for a moment, then stopped emitting, and displayed the score on the display.
“10874”
Bewildered by the absurd number, I banged on the crystal.
Isn’t that right, they say that when you beat a broken home appliance, it listens to you.
I put my hand on the crystal once more.
After repeating flashing and stopping again, the score was displayed again on the display.
“10876”
On the contrary, it has increased compared to before.
***
Looking at my magical power, the children who had been frustrated by their low magical power until earlier came to their senses as if they were feeling refreshed.
Beginning to focus on magic training.
When the unimaginable amount of magic power came out, the elves who were compared more than themselves would be more troublesome.
It is the realization of the posture of the reverse.
Of course, Ina and Lili are crying as if they were quite shocked.
“Lily, are you okay?”
I felt sorry for nothing and comforted Lili.
When it came out lower than
, It seems like I just brushed it off.
Looking at my magic power, I’ve been in this state since before.
I stroked her hair and saw the corners of her mouth go up.
I think half of them are doing this as a joke.
“Lily. Teach me magic. I want to use it quickly.”
“Wow…”
As I stared at you with bright eyes, Lillie
I got up from the stairs and brushed her ass.
“Your Highness is blessed with magical powers. I’m a little sad that I came out lower than expected.”
“722 Doesn’t look low at all…”
“Above average for elves, but below average for families.”
When Lillie saw Inna, she said to herself, ‘I’m envious’, so that no one could hear.
The multi-talented Lillie is so downhearted and envious of others with the amount of her magic power.
For some reason, it was cute.
Lillie patted both of her cheeks as if she was getting used to it, and then she started to look through the print of the incantation she had received earlier.
“Have you ever learned magic, Your Highness?”
“No, never. It’s dangerous…”
“I think you know, if you do something wrong with that magical power, it will be an accident… No, it’s a disaster.”
I also memorized incantations while looking at the printer.
I don’t think it’s difficult to memorize it because you just need to change the words in one frame.
Okay.
I’m also trying to debut as a wizard.
Anyway, the attack power of beginner magic is moderate
What stands out are recovery magic and detoxification magic.
What is the most important thing at a party?
Of course, damage tang is important, but healing is very important to survive.
And…
“Doesn’t a swordsman get preferential treatment rather than a high score?”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing. Come to think of it, Lili knew how to use recovery magic.”
“Yes, I learned the basic lower element magic, recovery magic, and detoxification magic from a young age.”
“As expected, Youngjae is different…”
“Your Highness will be able to learn it soon, so don’t worry.”
The instructor handed out all the printers and stood up on the podium.
He said he would personally show it.
“What?”
In the blink of an eye, a round bead appeared around the instructor.
Began to float around.
“This is the basis of magic called the mana core.”
The orb called the magic core has grown in size as well as decreased in size.
It multiplied into several and then shrunk to one.
“If the mana core multiplies and increases, it is possible to cast various magics at the same time. And the power of the magic rises according to the size. I’ll show you a demonstration.”
The instructor made the mana core very small and used elemental magic of the fire attribute.
It was hot, but the flame, which had less heat than expected, hit a stone and quickly disappeared.
And once again, he made a mana core and made it the size of a soccer ball.
I used fire elemental magic again, and it created a hot, blazing flame like the sun.
I threw it at a boulder, and the boulder melted like lava and flowed down, digging deep into the ground.
The magic core that had been digging down for a while disappeared by the instructor’s will, and black glass was formed there.
“Right you understand? You will learn to take out a mana core and adjust the size, and as the grade increases, not only the size but also the size increases.
Number You will also practice pulling out several. And as you probably know, the size and number differ depending on the amount of mana, so don’t get frustrated.
I would appreciate it if you could follow this instructor’s class until the end.”
In short, there is a difference in size and number of mana cores that can be drawn out depending on mana.
I heard that there is a ‘monster’ that can pull out 30 medium-sized magic cores at once.
All the cadets must have known that the monster was right in front of them.
The person who is teaching them now is ‘one of the best wizards in the world’.
