Episode 6 The Beginning of Medicine (1)
Sein’s expression looking at him was not normal.
A topic that has been raised at the conference for more than 200 years has now been broken.
And that too by a child who is only a little over a year older.
I don’t know how it was done, but if the flow of mana that even she couldn’t feel was made and the magic was cast, even if it was a mage with a higher circle than herself, she would have no choice but to be attacked.
It was a vision or a secret that everyone could fear and revere.
That is why Sein could not carelessly bring this out.
Because it was a fact that could bring blood to a kingdom.
Whether he knew this or not, Ray only smiled brightly and clapped his hands.
“Wow!”
Sein’s expression when he saw Ray only got more complicated.
I couldn’t figure out whether I should be genuinely happy or sad about this.
“It’s easier to understand if you think of it as an atom. Um… And if you start forming a compound with mana, the form is maintained even if you don’t inject mana? How long are you going to hold out?”
He has been constantly exploring even in modern times.
Even though the world we live in has changed, that habit has not disappeared.
Sein sighed as he watched Ray muttering incomprehensible words to himself.
‘It’s not good that my son is too proud… Maybe it’s good for my son.
Her concerns are not exaggerated.
No, in some ways it was underestimated.
If Ray’s special mana management method is known, the kingdom and the society will gain tremendous power.
Ray himself is well aware of that fact.
As the power of states and organizations increased, the next war was bound to break out.
There is no country that is full of power from ancient times and does not have wars.
The word world peace has always been a weapon and justification for powerful countries, and the only shield for weak countries.
That’s why he had to hide his special mana load and mana management method, which was created by combining atomic theory.
Of course, if you can hide it from your mother, it’s better to hide it. However, the reason I showed it to my mother so openly was simple.
‘I don’t know how long I can hide it, but if it’s revealed, it would be right for me to show it myself.’
Ray asked pretending not to know.
“What’s going on mom?”
“Yes? no. I’m just a little surprised that you’ve already used magic.”
As expected, he nodded his head slightly, seeing Sain not telling him everything.
No matter how smart he is, he is only three years old. He wasn’t old enough to talk about the kingdom, magicians, and societies. It must be the heart of a parent who does not want to involve their child in something bloody.
He knew that too, so he smiled and said.
“I must be a genius hahahaha.”
He was truly a stupid genius.
* * *
That night I heard my parents talking.
Seeing that they waited until the time he fell asleep before starting a conversation, it seems like something that should be kept a secret.
“What can I do? You’re being dragged into academic societies from a young age, right?”
“Oh well. The society needs to know that, too. Can we just keep our mouths shut?”
“Still… how cruel the society is. As a wizard, I know that. If you notice it even once, then the story will go on without any help.”
“In that case, you should run away. I don’t want my baby to go to a place like that and get its blood sucked.”
“No, they suck blood! Do you know what kind of vampire den the Society is!”
“…It’s not like that…”
Laying behind Ale’s flustered voice, Ray closed his eyes.
‘That means I might be taken to the conference.’
Then he sighed deeply and opened his eyes.
‘Then the most necessary thing is strength.’
The moment when the decision was changed came quickly.
The magic learned through exploration became a means of power.
* * * He
was engrossed in magic, conducting various studies and experiments, and improving his understanding of mana. He was growing rapidly.
and turned fifteen.
He has undergone a major change in his appearance.
Her hair, which used to be blonde, had white hair, and it started to turn white at the age of five.
When this phenomenon occurred, the parents were embarrassed, but they were relieved soon after they seemed to have no problem.
The reason why his hair turned white was because of mana.
Since all impurities and wastes were removed, Mana also removed all unnecessary elements that existed in the hair.
The reason why ‘color’ is included in hair is that there was a reason to block sunlight in the process of evolution, but the other reason is that it was a protective color for humans in the past.
At a time when there were only a lot of soil and trees, it was a color that could effectively hide the body that was adopted as a protective color.
Ray’s hair started turning white when he was ten years old.
It was because Mana had ruled that it was ‘unnecessary.’
The protective coloration is what nature has changed to survive.
Now that I have the power, the protective color is just an unnecessary element.
At first, he suspected the absence of melanin pigment, but seeing that the color of his eyes did not change, he did not seem to be worried.
If the melanin pigment was absent, the skin that could not block ultraviolet rays would have been charred.
Ray stretched as much as he could.
“Shall we go outside soon? I haven’t been out in the past year.”
I didn’t go outside to study magic.
Even if I didn’t have to do that, magic was fun and it was a time when I needed strength, so I couldn’t waste time.
And when I went out, there was something to check.
‘Because I have to find out how well the medicine I’ve learned so far will work here.’
According to Mana, the physical structure of the other world was not different from that of the present day.
However, I couldn’t say that everything was the same.
Since you can’t test it with your own body, you have to go outside to get information.
Ray took a large wooden plank and left.
* * *
When I came out, the freshness of the wind that I had tasted again rushed in.
“It’s really nonsense. I, who lived in an operating room, now live in a different world.”
No regrets. He died while saving people according to his beliefs until the end.
Besides, I am satisfied with my current life.
A world where you can taste the thrill just by coming out.
If air had a taste, would it feel like this? Every breath you take makes you feel better.
The sunlight blends with the blades of grass, encroaching on the surroundings with bright green.
“ha. I come out for this taste. Then, shall we stop by the village today?”
Ray’s house was far from the village.
Hearing the noise of the village around him, it didn’t seem too far away, but it would have been better if it was closer to the forest, but not close to the village.
I went slowly, looking at various flowers, sitting on the grass and resting.
There was no such thing as a village that could be called the boundary of a village.
Just one house after another, the fence grew one by one, and soon a village was formed.
There was also a square, perhaps because it was a fairly large town.
“Hoo. is it a bit big? It should be good enough here.”
He began to write on the board he had brought with him, generating a slight heat in his hand.
Swoop-swoop-
The finished article was like this.
[Healing the sick.]
“I treat the sick. Bring anyone. If you can’t bring it, I’ll come to you.”
Seeing him waving his hand and talking loudly, most of them laughed and passed by.
“You treat sick people? At the age of only fifteen.”
“Tsk tsk. If you want to play a priest, do it at home, kid.”
“You can’t use it if you make fun of someone who is sick.”
“You wrote it nicely, hahaha.”
They didn’t know it, but they were doing something they would regret immensely.
That the boy they laughed at was actually the hand of a modern god and a doctor who brought the dead back to life.
As time passed, he too became bored.
“Are there any patients here? Why aren’t people coming here?”
Even if he died soon, he did not admit that it was because of his unreliable age.
I had no choice but to go back today, so I was lowering the board when a little child snooped around.
Staring at him with only his face sticking out from the alley seemed like he had something to do with himself.
Since he planned to wander around if there was no work anyway, Ray took the Juseom Juseom board and moved to the place where the kid was snooping.
Of course, he was a kid, but he seemed to be about the same age in appearance.
The red haired child was a cute-looking girl. Interestingly, even the eyes were the same color as the hair.
Ray approached the cute little boy and said.
“Do you have anything to say to me, kid?”
“…Little?”
“…What is your name?”
“…”
Perhaps because the kid called the kid a kid, the kid pouted his lips and said.
“Ilyssia. Gade von Ilyssia.”
Ray wanted to stop asking again.
Having a surname before a given name meant that a person was a nobleman.
I don’t know what the title is, but considering that this town is not small, he is at least a viscount-level noble.
Since he spoke inappropriately to a noble lady, there was a risk that he would be annoyed if he did something wrong.
He lowered his head slightly.
“nice to see you. My name is Ray. I didn’t know that you were a noble lady and committed a disrespectful act. Please forgive me.”
Illisia’s eyes narrowed at the completely different attitude from the first time.
“The kid called me a kid.”
“…”
“You’re a kid too.”
“…”
“And he was a commoner.”
“…That’s not wrong…”
“Huh?”
“There is nothing wrong with being born a commoner. It’s just a proof of identity, and it’s nothing wrong as long as you don’t commit a crime.”
“…Yeah…”
Ray said as an admonition to prevent the child from rotting into aristocratic ideology.
Of course, if this caused any inconvenience, I was confident that I would endure it.
Because that kind of power existed in him.
Hana Illisia pondered for a moment, then slightly lifted the lower part of her small dress and bowed her head.
“I made a mistake. Sorry, I’ll cancel.”
Seeing this, Ray opened his mouth wide.
It was the most polite and dignified behavior of all the children I had ever seen in my entire life.
When the other person came out so politely, you had to be polite as well.
Ray shook his head slightly.
“You seem to have seen me before, but is there something wrong?”
“Ah…”
Illisia seemed to be thinking for a moment, but she shook her head.
“no. It’s not a problem that kids like us can solve.”
The glimmer of sadness in his eyes and the deep sigh made her look even more pitiful.
“It’s better to talk and not be able to solve it than not to talk and not be able to.”
“…is that so?”
Illisia smiled slightly and told me why she was worried.
Hearing the story, Ray was both surprised and puzzled.
“So you’re saying that someone you know is sick and there’s no way to cure it?”
“…huh.”
Lane thought for a moment about her answer.
It’s a periphery, but considering the authority of the viscount, it would be a little overdone, but a way came to mind.
“But I heard that there is a saintess in the kingdom right now? Then why don’t you ask him?”
At Ray’s words, Illisia’s face turned to tears at any moment.
“The saintess is still young. That’s why you can’t go to treat someone. Since even the high priest couldn’t fix it, he probably won’t be able to fix it… I heard it at first glance…” ”
…Um, may I ask what symptoms he has?”
“I don’t know…the skin turns red and turns like a balloon.”
There was a part of her words that Ray assumed, but he shook his head because he wasn’t sure.
‘If you just listen, it’s a malignant tumor… I guess it’s faster to see it yourself?’
Ray spoke carefully.
“If you don’t mind, can I take a look?”
“what? …you probably won’t like it.”
Certainly.
To take a commoner boy who used to play priest on the street to someone who could be a nobleman in the name of treatment… It doesn’t make sense even if you think about it.
But maybe you can fix it yourself.
As a doctor in the past, he may be able to bring back a smile to a girl who is immersed in sorrow.
“Maybe I can fix it. Please take me.”
At Ray’s sincere words, Illisia lowered her head and pondered.
The weight of the name Viscount Gade was too heavy to believe in a child he had just met on the street.
The eyes of the child who begged her to cure her illness were sincere even for her to see.
It may have been vain hopes or bluffs, but she couldn’t leave her suffering father behind.
She raised her head, as if she had made up her mind.
“okay. Let’s go together.”
“Hurry up and go. If you have a serious illness, you will be in a hurry.”
“…huh!”
