Episode 4 Beginning of Magic (1)
This task required concentration to such an extent.
Imaging even one wrong and everything goes back to nothing.
That’s why I’m trying my best not to think of even the smallest thoughts.
‘I can expand a little bit more. little bit more.’
He was truly expanding his mana load to the limit.
Even if you draw mana rapidly, you can draw as much as you can endure.
Ray’s mana rod was incomparable to other wizards only in its size.
With a mana rod this huge, it was clear that it would draw mana floating in the air as if it were inhaling it.
But Ray wasn’t satisfied.
Added a path to the expanded mana road.
The naturally divided roads took their places, down to each fine blood vessel.
Now his body was drenched as if he had been hit by rain.
However, a small smile spread across his face.
After all, about an hour had passed.
Ray opened his closed eyes.
“Finally it’s over! I thought my body was going to burst.”
It could actually explode.
That is, if the power control is a little wrong.
“I wonder if the Mana Road was made well?”
Ray made fire in the air as a test.
Screaming –
“Wow! is this for real? Such a magical thing… and… the circle wasn’t created after all?”
Originally, it was possible to manifest magic even without the ‘circle’, which is the mana accumulated in the wizard’s body.
However, other wizards cannot draw the mana required for magic because they do not have a special (?) mana rod like Ray.
So I had to make a ring of mana in my body and use it.
In the case of Ray, he was able to draw enough mana needed for the manifestation of magic, and could use magic naturally without having to unite it.
The quantity and quality of mana itself is distinctly different from that of today’s wizards.
Just as stagnant water rots, stagnant mana cannot be compared to flowing mana.
His mana can produce excellent results with a small amount, and he does not run out of mana in his body like other wizards do.
You just need to draw more mana from the air.
And that was the same as saying that the circle has no limits.
In other words, as long as he knows what the principle is, he can use magic regardless of whether it is circle 1 or circle 5.
“Cancel.”
With his words, the fire that had formed in the air disappeared without a trace.
“This is pretty fun. fire.”
Hurry up –
“Cancel.”
Whiik-
I can’t use great magic yet, but just using simple magic was quite fun.
It’s fun, so naturally the desire to learn surged.
I think coming to the study will be better in the future.
* * *
“Is Ray in the study again?”
Sain said while pouring tea into a glass of ale.
Ale raised her glass and took a sip of the tea.
“huh. It’s usually there, so it’s probably there.”
At his words, Sein lightly placed a hand on his cheek.
“Can we just leave the child like this? He’s still three years old…”
“Maybe he looks like me, so he’s very bright. It’s okay to let it go. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
“…So you’re saying I’m stupid?”
“No… I’m not saying that…”
“Heh. I’m sorry for being stupid.”
“Oh well, it’s not.”
“I’ll go see Ray, so you can have tea there.”
* * *
Sein opened the door to the study.
“Is our Ray here?”
Then the answer came right away.
“huh.”
“oh. I didn’t even know it existed.”
Even as she spoke, she felt sorry.
‘Even if it sounds strangely mature, he’s still three years old… We haven’t been able to play with him in the meantime.’
My responsibility as a mother has grown.
He even wondered if he had been forced to lock himself in the study because no one was playing with him.
That’s why I thought of playing with Ray today.
Sein smiled brightly and said.
“Shall my son play with mom today?”
Ray’s eyes lit up at those words.
“play?”
‘Magic? What magic should I learn? What else?’
His expression brightened as he contemplated how to use mana to create other phenomena.
If his mother taught him as play and education, he was willing to learn as a son.
But she interpreted Ray’s gaze differently.
‘How much do you want to play with it to make it so conspicuously bright… I’ll have to play with it more often from now on.’
Her maternal affection was displayed openly.
Today will make you have the best day ever.
Sein decided that.
“huh! Would you like to have fun with your mother?”
“huh! good!”
The two of them were having a dream.
* * *
“…Mom.”
“huh?”
Sein stopped at Ray’s call.
“There are no books here.”
“huh. You don’t have to read the book today.”
“huh? why!”
“Play to your heart’s content today.”
She may have done it for Ray, but it couldn’t have been more desperate for Ray.
I built a mana load faster than I thought. I can finally use magic.
But play! Does this make sense!
A refusal sound came naturally from his mouth.
“Mom, I think I need to study more. They said that if you knew one, you should know the other.”
It was unbelievable to say that it came out of the mouth of a child who had just turned three.
However, it was not unreasonable for Sae-in to think that his son was a genius who would not exist again in the world and a person who had a cuteness that would not exist again in the world.
Rather, she smiled and stroked Ray’s head.
“Where did you learn that word again? Ayu is so special!”
Rather, it only made my mother feel better.
The mother was thrilled with her son’s genius.
He was so excited that he would do anything he could play with.
That’s why Ray’s mouth was closed on his own.
“My son has never been outside, has he? Shall we go out with mom today?”
Anyway, I gave up on magic today.
I haven’t played with my parents much in three years, so I can rest for today.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t been outside since he reincarnated.
The thought of wanting to know what this world looked like also played a big part in today’s play.
“huh. Let’s go.”
“Ho-ho-ho. Would you beg to go out every day when you knew how great it was outside?”
Sain finished talking and opened the front door.
Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the door.
My mouth dropped open at the sight that dazzled my eyes moderately.
“Wow…”
The door was wide open.
A breeze blew through her few hairs.
There was a view that he hadn’t even thought of.
Unknown pool. Stairs made of stone. floating clouds.
The noise of the town can be heard faintly in the distance.
The world, similar to Earth but clearly different, unfolded the moment I opened the front door.
Goosebumps broke out incessantly on his back. It was by far the best thing he had ever seen.
It’s been 3 years since I stayed at home.
You can ask how I could not have gone outside, but I didn’t even think about going outside because I was studying and feeling mana.
But now I blame myself for not coming out.
Isn’t it like putting yourself in a cage!
They say the air tastes good when you’re free?
Indeed it was.
Sain opened his mouth and spoke to Ray, who was standing still.
“Go outside. You can run and play as much as you want.”
Ray looked up at Sein.
His usually big eyes widened even more when he overlapped with a surprising situation.
So far, his son has never been surprised.
They always had a similar atmosphere, but when they came out, things changed in an instant.
He was now a normal child.
“so cute! I think it’s the cutest thing in the world!”
Sein couldn’t stand it and hugged Ray.
He didn’t try to tear her away, as usual.
I just thought about what was behind that mountain and what kind of scenery would unfold under that stone bridge.
Ray looked up at the sky and smiled brightly.
‘It was really good to be reborn.’
“mom.”
“huh?”
“Thank you for taking me outside.”
“…”
Sain couldn’t say anything to Ray’s words.
Sometimes his son was more mature than he was, then he became like a child, sometimes he gave off the aura of a person who had gone through all the hardships of childbirth, and then became innocent again.
I’m just a little over three years old now.
However, it was definitely strange that it gave off such a diverse atmosphere.
But instead of asking Ray, she quietly smiled along.
“Look. Are you eager to go out every day?”
Ray laughed as if he was fed up with her laughing words.
“I really have no choice but to sleep.”
This place was so charming that I couldn’t recall the memories of my previous life.
