Chapter 22 – Accelerated Tutoring (3)

Fire.

The shaking of the fire, which seemed to be extinguished any minute, stopped.

It even burns in a scarlet light that is clearly clearer than before.

… Somehow it caught on something.

This was the cause

The structure of the core is perfect, but impersonal, as if it were made in a factory.

And as soon as it was registered as an attribute, the degree of perfection increased dramatically.

‘Status window.’

====================

A translucent screen that only you can see. I looked at the crude magical properties written at the bottom and organized my thoughts.

Did you say that the four elements that make up magic are imagination, will, intuition, and formula?

Among them, it is the role of correcting the magic that expresses intuition and formula so that it rolls as the caster intended.

Apparently, I also received the status window correction.

It’s a status window correction…

Now that I think about it, even the crude weapon skills have some quirks.

‘Characteristic details.’

======================

【Crude Weapon Skill (E)】

You will be able to handle weapons at the level of a neighborhood bully.

It’s a crude level, but the ability to handle a variety of weapons is commendable.

-Increases basic attack power by 5% for physical attacks with weapons.

======================

A simple effect of slightly increasing basic attack power.

Until now, I thought that increasing attack power means becoming stronger… If that’s not the case, what if I’m able to ‘handle’ the weapon as described in the status window?

What if I just misunderstood that I was able to produce big results with less force because I swung the weapon a little more accurately in a more efficient posture?

It’s not impossible.

Crude weapon skill is an attribute that took quite a long time to acquire because there was no one to help her like Karla.

So I thought I was used to wielding a weapon by now.

But in the end, my close combat skills are at the level of a bully in the neighborhood.

It’s normal to make mistakes even though you seem to be fighting well.

In fact, the bullies who got into a fight in the early days of possessing were like that.

But not me. At best, it was a slightly better level of weapon skill than normal, but I had never made a mistake.

When he defeated Pietro, he couldn’t pierce his heart with a single shot, but as if the knife didn’t even slip through the blood soaking his hands.

It is said that he has never self-destructed, unless he was simply pushed by his opponent’s skills.

It is limited to the level of a bully in the neighborhood, but it is inhumanly precise.

It all makes sense if you consider that this was also possible because of the correction of the status window.

It allows you to maintain the highest level of performance only at the level that fits your rank.

Could that be the effect of the status window correction?

I raised my magic once again to confirm my hypothesis.

Magical power that had not budged from the outside of the mana circuit gathered at the fingertips so naturally.

He shouted in a circle with his fingers that glowed bluish.

“Tinder.”

Fire.

It wasn’t that he received Karla’s help, and he didn’t instill strong will like the first time he wrote it.

Nevertheless, the Tinder magic that is cast naturally. Even its power and stability are the same as before.

As expected.

A manifestation of magic that could be said to be perfect in a sense, pursuing extreme efficiency within the limits of rank.

Intrigued, I tried it a few more times.

“Tinder. Tinder. Tinder.”

Fire, fire, fire.

A flame that flickers according to my will and repeats ignition and extinction.

I could feel the mana draining out of my body, but there was little to no effort other than that.

Just like turning the lighter on and off?

It’s been a while since I’ve been messing around with Tinder for a while like a kid who learned to play with fire for the first time.

Suddenly, I realized that Karla, who had been explaining in a clear voice until now, had become quiet.

Let’s raise our heads in wonder.

“Abbebeob….”

Carla’s lips twitched like a crucian carp out of the water.

How surprised are you?

A moist tongue peeking out every time her pale pink lips opened and closed.

Like someone possessed by something, I unknowingly put my finger in Carla’s mouth.

Chew-wap-chew-wap.

“?”

The moment his fingers touched her tongue, Carla moved her tongue strangely, as if she were doing a fella.

“… Hot!”

However, as if she had done it inadvertently, Karla, who had come to her senses, carefully spat out her index finger.

Then she wiped the saliva from her finger with the sleeve of her dress, and soon she pretended to be surprised with her nonchalant expression as if nothing had happened.

“Oh my gosh! Master, what did you just do?! Didn’t you say you were learning magic for the first time? To be able to get a feel for it only once….”

“Carla?”

“No. It’s not just about getting a sense. Tinder, which the owner showed me a while ago, is a seasoned wizard like a wizard who has spent decades in flame magic….”

“Carla.”

“… Anyway, Master must be a genius!”

“Carla!”

“Can I teach you other magic? To find out the master’s aptitude, I think basic water magic would be good this time.”

Carla keeps pretending not to know.

From the depths of my heart, a pitch-black malice leaks out from the depths of my heart.

She gave her body to this and opened her jaw wide. Then I slowly put my fingers into her mouth.

Of course, just a moment ago, Carla put her finger in her mouth, which was her great-granddaughter.

The effect was immediate.

“Kyaaaaa!! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It was the first time I had ever swallowed it all the way down my throat, so I still felt it like an afterimage, so I didn’t know it! I won’t pretend I didn’t hear you again, so please don’t lick her finger!”

“If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m licking your fingers. … Aha! In fact, Carla, you licked my finger, so you can think so!”

As she giggled and nudged her soft stomach, Karla twisted her body and gave her a weepy look.

“Ahhh… Please don’t tease me… Please don’t stab me… Good job… I won’t lick it….”

“No. It’s okay to lick it next time. No, lick it Instead, don’t try to turn around saying you’re embarrassed.”

“Yes… From now on, I will report everything, good things, bad things, embarrassing things, proud things, without hiding anything….”

I didn’t mean to do that… ?

However, since Karla nodded with a sullen expression was cute, she answered appropriately and changed the topic of conversation.

“Uh…Yes. Let’s do it. That’s what I said a little while ago.”

“… You mean you still have the master’s senses in your throat?”

“That’s interesting on its own, but what I said a little while ago. What the heck did you do?”

From now on, I will spend my academy life learning this and that magic.

The correction of the status window is particularly heterogeneous even in the academy, where the talented people of Eurelia are gathered.

I’m sure you won’t be the only one asking about this.

However, there is no other way for me, who cannot explain the existence of the status window.

Just as the inventory was tricked into subspace bags or dungeon rewards, the only way to cheat this time was to add an appropriate setting.

“I mean… I guess I really am a genius.”

“… Yes?”

Saying that with a serious face, Carla tilted her head while blinking her ruby ​​eyes.

Carla pressed her cheek against her thigh and continued her words.

“Didn’t you just say Carla? It’s not enough to just get a feel for it.”

“Yes. Knowing how to do it and making it completely your own are two very different things.”

“But I did.”

“…….”

Carla opened her mouth wide at my nonchalant answer. She was still fiddling with her hand on my chest.

“Didn’t I say that imagination and will cause phenomena, and intuition and formulas assist them to sublimate them into magic?”

“Yes… Right. It is magic to lightly paint the world with your will.”

“I think my intuition has developed tremendously among them. Once you use magic, you instinctively know what to do.”

“…….”

Nonsense that only the status window correction was fitted to the most ambiguous element, intuition.

Usually, you won’t believe it easily no matter how many times you show it… Carla is different.

Carla, who was the daughter of Lindelheit, a master of magic, would know. I have no choice but to know.

A being that uses magic instinctively.

About the dragon.

H&A is based on a fantasy world where various races live, but dragons are special among them.

Because they are the race that is said to have created magic.

Right now, they are caught up in the battle between good and evil gods and are on the verge of extinction, but they are also a powerful race that cannot be underestimated.

However, since they are also a species that is strangely obsessed with humans, they have left quite a lot of mixed blood.

What if. Perhaps. With a very slim chance.

What if an atavism occurred and someone awakened the dragon’s blood?

What if there is a person who is born with a huge amount of mana but can’t handle it, and lives with the side effect of being unable to respond to mana?

… What if there was one more person identical to the founder of the Lindelheit family?

“…….”

She smiled at Carla, who looked down at me with her mouth wide open.

“Before you put your finger in, teach me some other magic. Carla, like now, if you help me, I think I’ll learn quickly.”

Maybe she’ll be able to learn some lesser magic before she gets to the academy.

… It makes me feel uncomfortable because I feel like I’m overlaying a lie on top of a lie, but I can’t help it.

Because I must never find out that I am from the “Outside” Of this world.
