Chapter 262 – The Power to Embody Imagination

After passing the quarterstaff’s ordeal last year, my mage’s status was no longer at the level of a second-rate mage. No matter how much he trained his magic and mastered new tricks, he couldn’t find any clue to reaching the first rank. I just guessed that only those who were chosen after long training could reach it.

“Really? You can become first-class if you take lessons?”
[I’m just teaching the mage the way to become first-class. Depending on the level of understanding of the class, the growth rate of the wizard may vary. But I know you’re not the type to end your life second-rate. Because he has the qualifications to become a great wizard.]

Is it just that the time required depends on the performance of the class? In other words, I’m not saying it’s impossible to reach first-rate. As expected from the lineage of the demon king, at least one blood line seems to be innate. I felt my heart pounding for the first time in a long time.

‘I need strength.’

I needed strength. It is an overwhelming power that can slaughter all the Wiseman in the other world. It’s not like everything is over just because the expedition is successful and Albert is defeated. I wanted to put an end to the bloody evil with my own hands.

“Okay. I’ll go to the library right now.”
[Today’s class will teach you the most special theory among the classes so far. Please be prepared and come.]

It was late at night and I was tired, but I couldn’t give up Rumi’s class. She poured a lot of coffee into her mouth to clear her mind. Feeling a surge of vitality in my body, I opened the magic book.

Illustrated pages of the library.
When I pushed my body there, I succeeded in entering the book as before. The moment I pushed it perfectly to my legs, I was able to reach Rumi’s library.

“Rumi!”

The interior of the library has not changed from the previous time. A place where bookshelves filled with magic books are lined up in rows. When my name was called, I heard Rumi coming down from the stairs leading to the second floor.

[It’s been a while, wizard.]

A woman with green hair wearing a cocked hat and a robe. However, I was embarrassed because her appearance was very different from the last time I saw her. Should I say that she has grown up while not seeing her for a while? She had changed from a slender body of a middle school student to a full-fledged lady.

“Le, Remina? Your appearance has changed a lot.”
[It has grown. I can grow my body just like any other intelligent life in the outside world. It does not remain as a child.]
“Anyway, she grew up too fast. Her body was covered in just one month.”

Children are said to grow up quickly, but Rumi’s growth rate was on a different level. Because in just one month she transformed into a woman in her twenties.

[It’s all thanks to the wizard. It’s because it has grown by absorbing the souls of creatures collected by the mage. She didn’t put a clue to collect souls as a condition of the contract.]

Soul?
Come to think of it, she had a conversation like this when she first spoke to Rumi. The souls of the creatures I kill are all absorbed by Rumi. Didn’t he simply collect souls like a collector?

“Are you saying you ate the souls I sent you so far?”
[That’s right. I can satisfy my hunger by swallowing my soul. I prefer the souls of the giants because they have more energy than the souls of other races. The souls sent by the mage were well consumed by me. I wish you well in the future.]

Growing up, Remi bowed her head at her to show her appreciation. She’s a body that feeds on souls and grows. I can’t figure out how that girl’s body is composed. However, she was much better than when she was a middle school kid. Rather than taking lessons from a kid, having a beauty instructor in front of you will increase your concentration.

[Before we start class, I have a question for you. Did you bring the bikini we promised you the other day? Didn’t you promise to wear a bikini during class?]
“Ah…!”

There was something I forgot to come to the library in a hurry. She once promised Rumi that she would bring her a bathing suit from the outside world. It seems like an odd promise, but when taking magic lessons, a swimsuit is helpful enough. Because the dreamer clan was a strange race whose concentration increased to the limit when sexual desire was stimulated.

“Wait a minute. I’ll buy it from outside.”

Are there any clothing stores that are open at this late hour? I quickly left the library and tried to buy a swimsuit for Rumi. But right before I opened the door and left, Rumi called me.

[You don’t have to go outside. I also made a lot of clothes in the library while waiting for the wizard. It was also successful to look at the book and implement clothes that have the shape of a bikini.]

What?
You already made a bikini to wear to class? Rumi’s preparation was thorough enough to exceed her expectations. She regrets not having met a teacher like Rumi during her time on Earth. She is a true educator who will do anything to teach her students.

[Actually, I have already worn it. The time it takes to change is also a waste.]
“…Five.”
[I hope you like the outfit I prepared.]

I’m already wearing a bikini.
It didn’t take long to realize what that meant. Rumi took off the robe that was covering her body from where she was standing.

Squeak.
After her pitch-black robe came off, Rumi’s skin was revealed. What was worn under the robe was not ordinary clothes. She was wearing a bikini that showed off her mature body.

‘Awesome.’

A bikini that barely covers the area between the breasts and the crotch. She is in harmony with her body, which has become a full-fledged lady, and you can’t take your eyes off it.

If you look at the shape, there is no difference from underwear, but how much a piece of cloth makes a person’s heart beat.

“Are you okay?”
“Of course.”

I raised my finger at Rumi, who kept her promise. A fever rose in her head from her excitement. My brain speeded up and my adrenaline soared, so my fatigue disappeared.

To hear that a beautiful teacher in a bikini is giving lessons makes you mistaken that she is dreaming. The moment she pinched her cheek for a moment, she felt the pain properly. She realized that now she was ready for class.

[From now on, I will start the class to reach a first-class wizard.]

Class started right away.
I sat down on the floor in the library and listened to Rumi as she spoke. Looking up at her from below, I feel that her voluptuous breasts are accentuated even more. She has bigger breasts when she takes it off than when she puts it on.

[Until now, the wizard has learned various magics, including rune magic. However, magic performed at the second-class level has distinct limitations. Do you know what your limits are?]

The limitations of second-class wizards.
Compared to unmanned people, the physical specifications are lacking. Are you talking about that limit? However, in order to examine the limitations of the body, he would have pointed out the limitations as a wizard in the first place. After a bit of brainstorming, I answered honestly that I didn’t know.

“I don’t know. Even at the second-class level, it’s possible to learn various magic. If we study and supplement the formula, can’t we overcome any limitations? What kind of limitations do second-class wizards have?”
[If you don’t know, take a look. I’ll show you one of the wizard’s favorite spells. It is a liquid ring magic that summons waves.]

Rumi recited her incantation from where she was standing. At that moment, she sees a splash on the floor of the library, and a wave rises. Rumi beckoned and her magic wave came close to me.

[A wave of magic that can be summoned at the level of a second-class wizard. It has magical powers, but the fundamental principle is not much different from natural waves. It means that it retains the properties of a liquid.]
“Since waves are made of liquid… Isn’t it obvious?”

I raised my hand and touched the magic wave. The water splashed and my palms were soaked. Since it is a wave, it must have the properties of a liquid. Are there separate waves in solid form? I heard Rumi’s voice as I was questioning.

[Exactly! It is to firmly believe in common sense that is taken for granted. That is the limit of second-rate wizards. They are confined to the frame of perception and only imitate the forms of nature with magic. However, with magic, it is possible to do things beyond common sense. It means that you can magically create water that does not get wet even if you touch it, or flame in the form of a hard solid.]

Water that doesn’t get wet even if it touches it?
Fire in solid form?

It was a phenomenon that made no sense at all.
These are things that can only be seen in dreams. After all, magic itself is a skill that transcends common sense. Like making water out of empty space. Or transcend space.

As Remi said, it seems that I have been somewhat confined to the frame of perception until now. Is it because of the experience of living on Earth? I firmly believed that the form of nature would soon be the truth.

[Ancient wizards expressed ‘implementers’ throughout the first-class realm. It is a stage where you can realize your imagination in your inner world with magic. You can think of it as drawing a wizard’s dream in reality. I’ll show you a demonstration myself.]

While explaining, Rumi shut his mouth and closed his eyes.

At that moment, the landscape surrounding Rumi began to change.
As if you are dreaming
