Chapter 131 – The Wizard and the Crow

Several days have passed since the body’s conversation ended.
My lovers seemed to have grown closer through 3P, and the awkward atmosphere of the past had disappeared.
To be honest, I felt like I was walking on thin ice every time I left for a quest, but now I can work while laughing and talking haha.
The lovers’ problems were also resolved, so I could concentrate on learning magic without worry.

In the morning on weekdays, he takes magic theory classes from Rumi, and in the afternoon, he trains his spells in his room.
However, unlike when he was a beginner, there were some spells that could not be practiced at all in the room.

Stonewall order to erect a stone wall.
A liquid ring spell that creates waves of fluid.

It was clear that a catastrophe would occur if such large-scale spells were practiced in a cramped room.
If you call the waves and build a stone wall, the wall may burst and become a double room where you are forced to live with your neighbor.

‘I’ll have to find a place to train powerful spells.’

Up until now, I had trained my spells on the west street where the abandoned building was, but I couldn’t do that after entering the fortress.
This is because the west street, which had been neglected for a while, started redevelopment according to the order of the lord.
If you recklessly practice magic in the land where the owner is, you might be arrested for vandalizing property.
Eventually, after some brainstorming, I decided to talk to Brown, the innkeeper.

Brown’s inn, Tabard.
The back yard of the Tabard Inn was empty and empty, but sometimes the adventurers staying at the inn could be seen exercising freely.
Of course, even if I’m an adventurer, I’m a wizard.
Maybe you can turn the land into a mess while practicing magic.
It would be better to get proper permission from Mr. Brown than to start training without saying anything.

By the time the morning hours are over.
Today, Rumi finished her magic theory class.

[To master magic, you can’t just study elemental magic. Alchemy, necromancy, summoning magic, astrology, and besides, mastery of runes is the only way to become a wizard. Do you know?]

Rumi’s magic theory class taught me not only runes, but also many fields of study.
Of course, the main thing he taught was runes, but whenever he had time, he also taught the basic theories of other studies like alchemy.
Of course, it was difficult to use it in practice because it was still only theoretical knowledge.
Still, it’s important that I’m not a wizard who uses magic with ignorance like I used to because I’ve got something in my head.

“Okay. Is today’s class over?”
[That’s right. Have a good day. Wizard.]

I closed my notebook, left the room, and went downstairs.
At the counter on the first floor, the owner of the inn, Brown, was still there today.

“Mr. Brown, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Hmm… What do you mean?”

Brown, who had been dozing off, quickly woke up and responded when I spoke to him.
I brought up Brown the story of the inn’s backyard.

“The backyard of the inn. Can I use it for my training?”
“You mean the backyard. If you’re a guest staying at our inn, it doesn’t matter if you use it as a gym. It’s a space originally intended for guests to use as an outdoor gym.”
“I’m not trying to train my physical strength. I’m going to practice magic.”
“Magic? …Ah, you were a wizard.”

I didn’t say anything, but Brown noticed that I was a wizard.
Not too long ago I took down some bullies who were making noise in front of the inn.
At that time, rumors about me had spread among the inn guests and seemed to have reached Brown’s ears as well.

“I’m going to create waves with magic and build a stone wall. Of course, I’m going to clean up after myself, but I’m asking because I don’t know what Mr. Brown will think.”
“Wait a minute. You mean you can call waves with magic? My inn won’t be flooded by the waves, right?”
“It’s not that big, so it’s okay. I can control it at will. I don’t have to worry about the ground getting damp because of the moisture. I can suck up that moisture with my magic.”

After hearing my explanation, Brown pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Okay. Practice your magic in the backyard as much as you like. If the citizens see you use magic, the situation at our inn might be a little better.”
“How about the inn? What does that have to do with my magic?”
“The backyard is open, so it’s a place that can be seen by all the people on the street. If a wizard is training there, it will attract attention. In addition, our inn is also enjoying the publicity effect.”
“Ahang.”
“So if there are onlookers, don’t drive them away and treat them well. It’ll be fine if you put on a spectacular show of magic and draw their attention.”

I don’t know if it’s a wise decision, but Brown was trying to use me as an advertisement for the inn.
If you use fancy magic in your backyard connected to the street, you will surely attract the attention of the citizens.
Maybe it’s because of me that the inn has become famous, so it’s crowded with guests.
Or rumors spread that a terrifying wizard lives and only flies.

“What if the people on the street are afraid of magic? Isn’t Mr. Brown’s inn ruined?”
Haha. It doesn’t matter. My inn has been in ruins for a long time.”
“Yes?”

What do you mean the inn is open?
The facilities are shit and the food doesn’t taste dirty, but I thought it was running well.
Did something happen?

“Don’t you have the feeling that all the inn rooms are empty these days?”
“I guess that’s how it feels.”

I nodded my head at Mr. Brown’s question.
As if there are no guests these days, the Tabad Inn is empty as if it were an abandoned building.
Thanks to that, I feel like Rebecca and I are alone in a large building, so it’s nice.

“A month ago, another inn opened around here. It has better facilities and better service than here, so all the customers are flocking there. I mean, you have to do something before the store goes out of business. I wish I could give you a chance to do it.”
“If the inn is prosperous, do I get anything? Thanks to magic, if the inn is crowded, please take care of something for me too.”
“Of course you have to take care of it. If our inn gets out of the red, I’ll give you a suitable gift.”

I thought you were referring to money as a gift.
But the gift Brown promised was not money, but a room at an inn.

“Isn’t there a suite room you and your lover stayed in a few days ago?
“It’s okay if you pay the same for the accommodation.”

It was a nice gift to hand over a spacious suite at a low cost.
I decided to accept the deal Brown offered.
Putting on a magic show in the backyard to save Tabard Inn.

‘Honestly, I don’t know if it will turn out well.’

I don’t know how much attention my magic will attract.
It was also a request from Mr. Brown, who I was usually indebted to, and I resolved to draw as much attention as possible while practicing magic.

*

The first day of renting the inn’s backyard and practicing magic.
After putting on my robe and going out to the backyard, I looked around for a while.

‘The fence is low, so you can see everything outside.’

A very low, thigh-high hedge surrounds the backyard.
The street leading to the backyard was not very crowded.
Less people is not very good.
I need to attract attention with my magic to make the Tabard Inn prosper.
If there are few spectators, the publicity effect will naturally decrease.

Still, since I’ve been asked, I’ll have to try.
After a while I stopped looking around and cast spells.
From the beginning, I planned to use all the spells I knew to go out in a splendid way.

“Water.”

As he continued to cast water spells, fist-sized water droplets floated in the air. Now that I can use basic magic continuously, I instantly filled the entire backyard with water droplets.

“U-what is that?”
“Are there things like soap bubbles flying in the sky?”
“It’s not a soap bubble, it’s a fucking big water drop.”

As soon as the water droplets filled the backyard, citizens walking on the street looked at me and whispered.
It’s not common to see magic, so the atmosphere was already lively with a small number of people.

“Heh. Gaze, trouble.”

I calmly recited lines to the citizens, then focused on casting the spell again.

“Liquid ring.”

A liquid ring spell that can be said to be an enhanced form of a liquid spell.
The moment I recited the start language, countless water droplets floating in the air merged together to form a shape.

Chow ah!
It was spectacular to see nearly 100 droplets of water colliding at once and creating waves while scattering spray.
Even as a wizard, my heart becomes magnificent.

Compared to the past, it has changed so much.
Is it true that I, who used to fly magic spheres, can now create waves?
It’s not the continent’s strongest wizard, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a skill that can be lost anywhere.

“A wave, a wave has risen.”
“What is that guy a wizard? That’s a piece of shit.”
“But it’s an incubus. Aren’t you raping women with magic?”

I hear a voice whispering over me.
I thought I would get misunderstood because I was an incubus, but soon there were people who recognized me.

“I’m sure he won’t attack women? I know who he is. A blonde, tanned dreamer who works as an adventurer.”
“Dongma works as an adventurer? Those bastards don’t do anything because they’re lazy except for fucking women.”
“I thought so too, but he’s different. He’s been living here for two years, and he just keeps quiet. But I didn’t expect him to be learning magic.”

It’s already been two years since I stayed in Joensuu and worked as an adventurer.
There are quite a few citizens who recognize me while walking down the street.
Rumors that I was a wizard hadn’t spread well among the citizens yet.
It will be different from today.
Because he openly uses magic in the middle of the road like this.

“Suck.”

Chaaaaagh
The moment I concentrated my mind, 2M waves raged furiously in the backyard.
As the magic waves rage, the ground becomes wet and spray splashes in all directions.
Citizens could not keep their mouths shut at the sight of a water park opening in the middle of the land.

“Crazy, really. How can a person make waves? Are all wizards like that?”
“How can we know! We’ve never met a wizard.”

Today is just a holiday.
Citizens taking a leisurely stroll along the street stopped one by one to watch me making waves.
A crowd of about 10 onlookers gathered in the street simply by manipulating the waves.
If this was Earth, I would have already been filmed and become the main character of a video with a million views on YouTube.
People from other worlds are no different from people on Earth who find magic magical.

“Oohhhhh.”
“Wizard, please look this way!”

When the number of spectators reached double digits, I decided to show a suitable performance.

Tadadak!
I rushed towards the rushing waves and bumped into my body.
When I emerged intact after breaking through the waves from the front, the citizens cheered even more.

“Blonde tanning dreamer is playing against the waves!”
“What? Who’s fighting who?!”

I punched and tossed with the magic waves as if fighting.

Golden Sun Incubus VS Magic Wave!

The number of spectators increased even more in the fight of the century that could not be seen even in the UFC.
As if they couldn’t see this rare spectacle alone, citizens called Chu-Rai Chu-Rai to passers-by and grabbed them.

‘The number of onlookers is increasing.’

I confirmed that the reaction was okay, but it is not yet time to be relieved.
Because what I had to show the citizens was a staged show.
If you keep playing with the same pattern, the onlookers will get tired of it.

Puck puck puck!
Squash! Squash! Squash!

I was constantly rolling my head as I wrestled with the magic waves.
I thought of directing a more splendid show by using my brain fully.

Caw! Caw!

That was the moment.
An unidentified crow flew right over my head and flapped its wings.

“A crow?”
“It must be an animal controlled by a wizard!”
