81 Gaiden Episode 81
As a vulgar word, it is said that the bloodline is good.
It’s not just genetic constitution, but including the amount of mana possessed, nobles tend to have a little more talent than ordinary people.
“Excellent, to put it bluntly. In other words, you can become dangerous by overpowering yourself when you are young.”
Just over 100 years ago, there were many children of aristocrats suffering from mysterious diseases.
The most common is when the mana growth is too high compared to the child’s weak body, so the growth can’t keep up
.
Even when I was in the family, including my mother, I just checked for the growth of my child, but the other guys had a lot of eyes on how to use the child.
If you think about it, that’s also a longing.
“Anyway, Arna has to test it once.”
In fact, I can roughly guess without checking, but… … .
However, it was necessary to leave official measurements.
“… … I’m sure you’ll be surprised.”
As much as I already know the outcome, it’s a little disappointing that I can’t feel the excitement.
“so? Then Dia will be the prosecutor?”
“There is no problem with me, but I will try to use something more specific.”
At least in my days, wizards used palpation or magic to confirm, but now they say they use a different method.
“Recently, we introduced a device that can detect a child’s mana reserves or potential modifiers to traits.”
It seems that it is more precise than most wizards can inspect, and even confirms things that cannot be known simply by measuring.
Even from a child’s point of view, it would be better to measure simply than to have an old stranger come and make things.
“Then let’s measure right away. Arna. Come this way.”
“huh! Sister Dia!”
Basically, Arna is not shy, but when Dia, whom she has always seen and is familiar with, extends her hand, she casually grabs her hand and moves closer to the device.
And Pena and I watched Arna perform the test and exchanged opinions in a low voice.
“however… … Arel? Are you going to change Arna’s education policy based on the results?”
“Not really?”
This was a just in case, and had nothing to do with Arna’s parenting policy in the future.
Well, quite a few nobles would cling to one of these results, but I have no reason to do so.
“It is the will of the child that determines the future of the child. There is no point in such trivial procedures.”
“… … I see.”
There was a hint of relief in Pena’s faintly spoken voice.
You care too.
Wouldn’t it be better if I told you in advance not to worry? Unlike me who knew the result, Pena might be nervous.
“I tell you, but I don’t care too much… …
When I was about to say again that I don’t have to care. A slightly brash exclamation flowed from Arna’s side.
“… … oh my god.”
“Is this for real?”
A few territorial wizards are making a fuss.
Dia, who was watching, silently frowned. Only then do they realize that they have reacted with contempt and hastily bow their heads.
“What’s happen?”
“… … Arna-sama’s measurement results exceeded their expectations, which surprised them a little.”
Perhaps deciding that it was better to show rather than talk around, Dia showed the result of determining Arna’s mana measurement.
“.. oh?”
Pena is unable to speak. I, who had already guessed, couldn’t take my eyes off it.
“In terms of metrics, it is said that a typical aristocratic child has 340 magical powers.”
“But this… …
“yes. The measurement of Arna-sama’s mana reserve is 1203. This level exceeds that of a fairly average adult.”
Incidentally, according to the measurement standard, the mana reserve per circle of a 1st circle wizard is about 1,000. In other words, two circles is 2,000.
In short, even though Arna didn’t do anything, she exceeded the mana reserve of a Circle 1 wizard.
Only Arna, ‘What is Mana?’
I just tilted my face with a smile.
Instead of the surprised others, I just petted Arna and said, ‘It’s nothing special.’
yeah, it’s really no big deal.
However, if you look at it with common sense, you can’t help but be surprised.
“How?”
“The buds that are promising will recognize the cotyledons first.”
I thought I was in moderation and passed it over.
It was a bit hot though.
Actually it’s because of me.
It is known to the world that I possess as much mana as a griffon’s claws, but in reality, I am a possessor of internal power that surpasses even the average master.
Arna must have been influenced in part.
“By the way, does the high amount of mana mean you have to become a wizard?”
“No, that’s not it. It’s just the basic mana reserve. It depends on how you use it.”
It’s good to evolve it with magical qualities, or even if you develop it into an aura like Kania’s sister, it’ll show off a lot of history.
In short, it means that either way you can become first-class.
In a way, it is a gifted talent.
“Even if you have talent, Arna has no intention of it, and if you don’t train it, it will naturally rot.”
The day when Arna understands her own qualities and shines in them is still far away.
As I said that, I ordered a silence order regarding this result.
“Because there are a lot of people who say useless things. Let’s just say it’s a general average on the outside.”
“yes… … That would be nice.”
“I am of the same opinion.”
For that reason, I asked Dia and the wizards of the territory to lead the measurement.
At least until Arna was about 15 years old, she didn’t make a fuss around her.
After that, Arna will have to decide her own path.
‘But you’d better use a hand for later…’ …
I didn’t know if this child would make use of his qualities or not, but I felt the need to frame him so that he could choose either one.
in short. In the end, it was for Arna.
‘I can’t say what the kid will do later.’
However, I wanted to ensure that there were no cases in which I could not achieve what I wanted to do because the surrounding environment did not keep up with me.
‘At least if the Ernesian Kingdom’s education system is reformed at this time, it won’t be a stumbling block for Arna when she grows up.’
At least, it must be the heart of parents to want to make sure that they can do it properly no matter what they do.
People around me praise my actions, saying that they have a noble meaning, but I don’t listen to them.
It’s only for me and the people I surround.
Its behavioral logic never changes.
After that, the reorganization of the Royal Academy was proceeding smoothly.
As promised, I decided to push it by giving a special lecture here.
That Areel Ernesia gives a special teaching.
There was a clamor of requests to listen to the lecture, as if it had already been rumored.
“… … Is this really an ordinary lecture?”
To put it mildly, ‘live well and be kind. Just like that Arel!’
Would you even bother to listen to it?!
Is everyone free? I secretly shuddered.
That’s why you have to succeed… … .
Even if a successful person talks nonsense on the street, people will pay attention and listen.
“Um~ Should I give you a little more service…?” … Even if it’s just one-on-one personalized counseling.”
“Arel… … do it in moderation Wouldn’t it be best to be normal?”
“huh? Ordinary?”
“no way… … Absolutely not?”
Pena looked around with a strange smile, as if she knew that if I decided to touch it, it would never end normally.
“This is the educational institution for the nobles of the Kingdom of Ernesia… …
“Wasn’t it in the Merman Empire?”
“There is. … … I’ve only been there for a few months.”
“… … Right.”
The reason I’m less talkative is because I know the meaning.
Pena’s childhood cannot be said to be very happy.
Because the qualities of a Elementalist were manifested, adults who regarded her as politically resentful could not treat her well.
“But didn’t Arel go here too?”
“what… … In that regard, am I in a similar position?”
Come to think of it, I don’t even have a relationship with this place.
He imitated a self-made genius scholar since childhood. Did he even get kicked out after being granted a territory at the age of 14?
It’s a nostalgic memory now, but would I have survived properly if I were an ordinary human?
In a sense, that’s what each other is.
“So you wanted to take a look?”
“Didn’t something else happen? I had Hongmi in my heart.”
Apparently, Pena was curious about the lives of other noble children.
If you really wanted to take a look, you followed me.
“If the purpose is to study, should we create a course for adult nobles?”
“ah?????? that’s kinda??????
Judging by the slurred speech, it doesn’t seem like he’s studying.
“Because I was envious in the past. Going around with aristocratic children in a similar position… …
“Will it be the same now?”
“It’s different from being followed by followers in a social church, isn’t it? Rather tired!”
I don’t think it’s a sentiment that I can’t understand.
Also, Pena must be worried inwardly. What is the educational ground and environment in which Arna will grow up in the future… … .
And another worry… … .
“Are you thinking about whether or not to teach Arna spirit magic?”
Pena is speechless.
At that time, after measuring Arna’s magical power, we adults gathered together and discussed it once.
… … And you must have noticed that if you make a little determination and teach them, you can bloom with spiritism.
That’s where Pena’s conflict begins.
“Are you Arna?”
“Arna also likes spirits, but I don’t think you’ll be attracted to them as a Elementalist.”
I am still conflicted.
If you want to teach, you can pass it on.
There is an urge to teach. But at the same time hesitating.
hope it will be the same as you
“As you may know, this place is different from the Empire. No one will be prejudiced even if you teach spiritism. Rather, it is just an increase in culture.”
Even if there is such a person, I will not forgive him.
“I know… … Even if you teach it, for Arna, it will only be an education or the power to protect that child.”
But the reason for the conflict is that it is not necessary. Such a difference would be hesitating.
“And if Arna wants it, I’m worried about how to teach it.”
“Hmm.”
For example, let’s say there is a famous sports or martial arts school.
Strict families always pass on their parents’ skills to their children. If you’re a little flexible, you’ll want to hear your child’s intentions first.
But any parent would want to pass it on.
Even more so if your child is talented.
‘I don’t want to be forced.’
In particular, Pena must be completely fed up with the tendency of someone to distinguish between right and wrong when it comes to talent.
Regarding that concern, I am close to neutral. Because the answer is not to force it.
“… … But even if I teach, what should I do?”
Are you worried about what to do when teaching there? Although I have learned it, I have never passed it on to others.
“If anything, why don’t you teach a disciple at least once? Then it would be a good experience to know what to do when Arna wants it? And it becomes an achievement that leaves behind the skills.”
“A disciple… … Like Arell?”
“Yeah like me.”
Ahem!
It’s good, bro.
Pena reacted as if it were unexpected.
Even in the present empire, there is a faction for elementalists. However, Pena is not involved even now.
In a sense, Pena has not yet passed on the spirit magic she has accomplished to anyone.
“It would be a pity not to spread the long-awaited achievement. If you want, it’s not difficult to establish a department related to spiritism here.”
“Here? Aren’t you doing it in the magic tower?”
“Magic and Spiritual Sorcery are different. Even if you leave it to Dia, you’ll be in trouble.”
If you wear it on your ears, it’s an earring. If you wear it on your nose, it’s a nose ring. The cause can be circumvented somehow.
You can do as much as you want.
However, Pena shook her head softly, as if she didn’t want that far.
Are you still not drawn to it?
“I’ll think about it.”
“Tell me whenever you want. I can make it happen with a little bit of force.”
Allel will make your wishes come true as long as you can.
“… … Do it in moderation. I’m sorry to others.”
She smiled bitterly and saw me off as I had to go to work soon.
Apparently, Pena seemed to want to see this place a little more, so I was considerate of letting her do as she pleased. How
