Chapter 94 – Voice Magic #3

After a while, Grace’s voice magic class began.

“Did you choose water magic? Slowly show us the water magic hand sign that Luke uses-. It takes a simple process to convert the medium from a hand sign to a voice.”
“All right.”

I don’t know what kind of work it is, but it’s right to follow the instructions. If you keep asking, it will be difficult to progress. I silently signed the water magic sign in front of the checkout counter.
He slowly showed Grace the hand sign, which consisted of a total of eight hand gestures.

“Okay-. Keep repeating at that speed-.”

Water droplets do not come out on their own because they do not inject magical energy into them. Grace pulled out a blank sheet of paper and a fountain pen. Watching my handprint, Grace began to draw something on the paper.

‘Are you drawing my handprint?’

I wondered for a moment, but what Grace was drawing was not the shape of a hand. What was depicted on the paper was a large-sized, winding figure. I couldn’t even guess what the shape was.

It must have been repeated about 20 times.
Finally Grace signaled me to stop.
It seemed that the figure he had drawn on paper had been completed.

“What did you draw?”
“It’s the runes! They can be said to be the source of all magic on the continent of Midgard. Beast seals are, after all, nothing more than a clumsy depiction of runes with your fingers. The final drawing of Mr. Luke’s beast seals is the runes here. It means text.”

Is it runes that my beastman drew? Grace’s words piqued my interest, so I carefully looked at the shapes on the paper. I definitely felt it when I heard the explanation. Originally, the shapes were drawn in fragments in the form of beasts. They harmonized and became a single figure, elaborately put together.

“Is it a rune? So what should I do with it?”
“You have to memorize it in Luke’s head. You have to remember it in a perfect shape without any disturbance. Then the magic will be cast automatically even if you don’t sign the hand sign-. If you just think of the runes in your head-.”

It is said that magic will be cast just by recalling the letter!
I couldn’t help but be excited to hear what Grace said. Compared to making hand signs, it was really eating magic raw. Maybe you can succeed right here in this spot? Because there was a piece of paper on which the runes were depicted. If you recite the starting language while looking into this… ?

“Water!”

“Water water water water water.”

“Water!!”

Like a rapper, I loaded the beat and sang water. Like the rappers on Show Me the Money, they shouted water with all their heart. However, even when he shouted until his throat was exhausted, no drops of water came out.

The passing necklace finally given to me.

“Stop it because you’re spitting, Mr. Luke.”
“Yes.”

Said Grace, wiping her cheeks with his handkerchief.
I hung my head down, downcast.
I tried to recite the start words while looking at the runes drawn on the paper, but it didn’t work out.

“I understand the desire to use magic quickly. However, the concept of ‘remembering’ runes in your head is quite complicated. I mean, you have to be able to reproduce the process by which the strokes of the runes come together.”
“Then what do you do? Are you showing me how to write the runes again?”
“There is a much better way than that. It is to draw runes directly on Mr. Luke’s body. You can feel the process of separating the strokes into fragments and engraving them with your tactile sense. Because feeling is more certain than seeing. So…”

Grace smiled and rummaged under the counter.
Before she knew it, she had a brush and paint in her hand.

“…Could you take off your clothes, Mr. Luke?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“I’ll draw runes on your body. You can’t draw properly if you’re wearing clothes, right? Take off everything but your panties. Right now-.”

Does that mean I have to show my naked body?
I couldn’t help but be frightened by Grace’s extraordinary request.

Could it be that she is a voyeuristic witch spying on male naked bodies under the pretext of class?
However, Grace’s eyes were very serious.
To the point where I was rather embarrassed for thinking dirty thoughts.

“I’m a dreamer, but I’m ashamed to take off my clothes-?”
“Of course I’m ashamed!”
“It’s amazing-. But this is the fastest way to memorize runes. It’s faster to feel it with your body once than to see the process of drawing it a hundred times. It’s a method that’s officially included in the Mage Tower textbooks.”
“So, are you saying that the Mage Tower also uses this method?”

In an instant, a great delusion came to mind.
It was a delusion that the professor made fun of naked female students with a brush. Did Hitomi live inside the magic tower?

“Of course I don’t use it-. The Mage’s Tower is equipped with high-tech equipment that can memorize runes. Drawing on the body with a brush is a kind of night magic-. This is the only best method in our store.”
“It sounds a bit like a yamae procedure.”

It was a statement that smelled suspiciously.
However, it is not a scalpel applied to the body, it is only a matter of writing letters with a brush. There was no risk of getting hurt, so I thought it would be okay to take it once.

“Okay. I have a desire to quickly learn magic. Can I take off my clothes here?”
“There’s a room in the back of the store. I’ll show you there.”

Grace got up from the checkout counter and led me into the back room of the store. It was a warehouse where various magical items were piled up. Grace said as she spread a wide mat on the warehouse floor.

“Sit with your buttocks on the mat. Take off your clothes, of course-. I’ll start the runic judo procedure right away when you’re ready. The procedure will take about an hour.”
“It takes an hour? I think you can’t stand it because the brush itches.”
“You don’t have to worry about that part. The brush has anti-tickling magic on it.”

There seemed to be no reason to hesitate any longer.
I took off my shirt and pants, put on my underwear and sat down on the mat. Grace, who was watching me from behind, said with an admiring expression.

“Oh my gosh. Your body is very strong-.”
“…Yes.”
“You look dignified too-. I think you can tell just by looking at the size on the outside.”

Why is this lewd-looking witch suddenly expressing her sentiments?
Did she really intend to do voyeurism, not to perform the procedure?
The moment I was about to say something, Grace raised a paintbrush in her hand as if she had noticed it like a ghost. I started to draw on my body with a brush dipped in light-colored paint.

“Ugh.”

As if it was true that the brush was enchanted, it didn’t tickle my body.
However, whenever the brush moved, it was stimulated by the cold feel.
Grace was brushing very close to me.
His flowing black hair tickled me, and his warm breath touched his face.

Brushing is no problem at all.
However, the problem is that the person doing the brush strokes is a witch with a rich appearance. Every time Grace’s soft flesh touches her body, it drives me crazy.

She suspected she was not flirting.
Looking at her serious eyes, it’s not like seduction at all. Grace was concentrating all her attention on the brush strokes.
To the extent that he couldn’t even notice my gaze scanning his body.

“…”

A robe with a large cut at the nape of the neck.
The moment Grace lowered her head, her robe came down, revealing her white breastbone.
When I slightly raised my head and adjusted the angle of view, I could see the bouncing breasts at a glance.
She is wearing a loose-fitting breast covering, so even the cloth covering her breasts has flowed off.
If she lifted her head a little higher, you might even see a slutty nipple at the end of her breasts.

Knock!
I swallowed and raised my head higher.
After setting the spine upright enough to break the neck bones and making every effort, I finally see what I have been longing for.

Big boob breasts that sway.
Dark areolas that spread like petals on the breast.
A woman’s teats overflowing with sexiness rose above them.

‘Succeded! I succeeded!’

But the spying was also short-lived.
I had no choice but to close my eyes tightly as the pain pierced my head.
Is something magical happening inside me?
I couldn’t come to my senses because of the throbbing pain whenever my brush suddenly moved.

“Turn it off.”
“If it hurts too much, tell me-. Because the runes are being injected into Luke’s head right now.”

What Grace said was true. It’s unbelievable, but right now I was drawing a winding figure in my head. I didn’t think of it by my will, but it started to come to mind automatically. As the strokes continued to be added, the complicatedly twisted figure was changing into the same look as the runes I saw on paper before I knew it.

‘Tap! The faucet flies out of my head!’

However, I was devastated even though the procedure was working properly.
Because the naughty missy nipples I just saw were getting out of my head.
It’s like forcing the next video to play on YouTube!
It means that pornography is being removed and educational videos are being played!

Heheuk. Can I cry a little?”
“What’s wrong, Mr. Luke? Are you really sick?”
“Hey. No. Please continue.”

By the time the procedure was over, the runes were clearly embedded in my head. Even the process of drawing characters was played automatically.

‘The witch’s fucking ugly.’

Of course, the ugly witch’s nipples came to mind again.
To be honest, that was the most satisfying.

“How do you feel? Runes are imprinted on your head?”
“Yes.”
“Now, if you think of the runes, mana will start to flow from your body. If you direct that mana in the right direction, you will succeed in casting the magic. It will take some time, so please practice slowly.”
“Is this going to take a long time?”
“No matter how fast, it will take about 5 days. You’re new to voice magic. It doesn’t matter if you practice in this store. Of course, only until business hours are over-“

The time required to successfully perform voice magic for the first time was 5 days.
As the saying goes, it was impossible to call the water drops into the mouth immediately after the procedure was over. However, when I recalled the runes in my head, a reaction occurred within my body.

“Water.”

She didn’t even make a hand sign, because mana started to wriggle. The more she recalled her runes, the faster her mana flowed. It seemed to her that if she could get the flow right, she could really use magic.

“Can I come again tomorrow?”
“Sure-. I’ll be looking after the shop for the next few days.”

When business hours were over, I paid one silver for my tuition and walked out of the shop.
For the next four days, I was obsessed with casting water magic with my voice. He locked himself in his room and focused only on eating and using magic like a crippled person. Occasionally, when Rebecca came over to play, small talk was the only break.

On the 4th day of voice magic training.
It was late at night when I was lying in bed. I was training my water magic until I fell asleep while looking up at the ceiling.
It was possible because I was trained just by lying still and concentrating.

“Water-.”

With the runes vividly in mind, he raised the mana of his entire body. He directed the mana contained in his abdomen toward the right path. At some point while repeating it over and over again -.

“…!”

Drops of water rose above your head!
It was never a dream.
Round, transparent water droplets were floating in the air. I don’t remember moving my finger.
I was startled by the sudden appearance of water droplets, so I lost my concentration.

Chew-!
Falling water droplets hit the face head-on. Lying on the bed, the cold sensation made me dizzy. Water got into my eyes and nose, and I couldn’t breathe for a moment.

“Kek kek!”

I rolled off the bed and fell to the floor gasping for breath. But at this moment, what filled my head was intense excitement. My head, which had been cold, quickly became hot from the heat.

“Water-.”

Even when I called it out again, the same water droplets popped out in front of my eyes. At this moment, I had learned the art of voice magic. I ended up learning how to use magic by moving only my tongue.

The birth of a water purifier operated by voice recognition-!

I made up my mind to visit Grace the moment I woke up tomorrow.
Before her promotion battle started, she wanted to learn more about her voice magic from her.
