- What am I supposed to do?

The day after I was blessed with the protection of the Creation God and did what is commonly called evolution, I first thought about it.

... is also based on the assumption and presumption that I came to this world for something, other than this. Hey! Though I made a thoughtful decision.

If you calm down and think about it, it's possible that you're having long dreams in an unconscious state.

While considering that possibility, I feel that there can be some other purpose to aspire to an adventurer who can do anything just in case. Hard work, nothing was there. Shoulder watermark, usually hard.

Besides, even if it doesn't mean insurance, I want to be an all-purpose adventurer because I want to do everything.

People's limits? The regulator of the world? I don't know anything about that.

I don't want to be tied to it and live a cramped way anymore. Just really give me a break to go back to the birdcage. I'm free to do what I want here.

… but I can only see vaguely what I want to do.

Although it was good until I set a goal to be an all-powerful adventurer, that doesn't change how far I go. If I tell you, I'm talking about combining what you need with a bundle of such things as strength, skill, and intelligence that are required.

So I want to find a dream that will make that means viable.

But there I am, too, boy. Anyway, if I want to go for it, I want to put it before the best in the world.

Dreams are big, goals are high.

The higher your goal, the wider your dreams become.

Conversely, the larger the dream, the higher the target value required.

Those synergies are important.

The most all-powerful adventurer in the world - it will surely be the title given to the freest adventurer in the world. An adventurer who combines the flexibility to proceed uncompromising against any unknown with the strength to survive this arduous world.

That's the kind of future I paint.

But... what can I do to be the freest adventurer in the world?

This finally led me to the letter... but I can't think of anything. In the first place, it's basically impossible to come up with a way to be the freest adventurer in the world to me with a living area over in Sierra Village. As it stands, it's no exaggeration to say that my world ends at the village fence.

So, here comes a book titled [Adventurer's Dream]. This dish I got the other day in Gabardi with a pinch of waste.

Titlewise, I'm sure this says something like a goal for all adventurers.

With that in mind, I opened the book.

"─ Adventurer.

What do you think of when you hear these words and you take this book?

There is no kiri if you name the impressions of each person, such as those who work to put themselves in danger, those who travel the world, those who receive requests and protect them from vicious demons, and those who commit barbaric acts.

But they have not shown the truth.

Some want to boast of their power, while others have a solid purpose: to live. I wonder, some people who just want to travel the world, and some who do justice to protect people from demons.

The meaning of an adventurer is broad and very difficult to fit into one frame.

However, if I dare to force you to fit into one frame, I answer that adventurers are the dreamers.

Because that's what everyone has. Everyone dreams, not just of any adventurer, but of those who live in the city.

But when it comes to taking risks, people need great courage. If you jump into it yourself, you can't move without a big reason.

Then what is the reason that comes from?

It is decided. It's a dream that people have. Without dreaming, people can't jump into danger. If those without it jump in, they will perish. Adventurers are always a life-threatening job.

The only real adventurers who are thus naturally eliminated and remain are the dreamers.

Perhaps reading this book means that you are a little or already willing to be an adventurer.

But as a senior adventurer, if you don't have a dream, I'll advise you here that you should stop living as an adventurer. That's the lowest line that separates life and death.

However, if you're just not ready to make up your mind, I'll show you one way to read this.

I'm already retired, but once I was passionate about exploring the world's secrets.

It was my dream to explore one of the world's highest secrets - a place commonly known as the Seven Secrets.

It was because the body couldn't do it anymore. Yes, I am the one who lost his dream.

There were four places I could go: the Dragon Valley, the World Tree Forest, the Labyrinth and the Tower of God. But I couldn't make it to the back.

Moreover, the place known as the empty island, the capital of death and the phantom island did not even come true with this eye.

Therefore, I write my dreams here. If I may, I've read this, and I hope you'll fulfill my dreams instead, and I'll write everything I know down here. "

─ Preface.

After reading the chapter that said so, I slowly lowered the book that I had to eat.

"... this is it"

It wasn't what I expected a little bit, but what was in me after reading it was a comforting and unbearable excitement.

"This is it, this! I've been waiting for something like this!

When I read the letters of the Seven Secrets, the fierceness and tremor that ran all over my body is difficult to brush.

I just finished reading the preamble, but the naming that made me feel what I could ask about its harshness and the unknown realm shook my mind pinpoint.

I glanced at the pages detailing each of the secrets as I skipped through the maps showing the directions actually followed by the author, who was once in a while pinched, and the dangerous demonic paintings I met on the road, without excitement or chill.

The contents written there, in fact, in the four secrets that went there, the map even said something quite detailed, such as, of course, keeping in mind, and for the remaining three, the information obtained as a result of tying the literature and so on was detailed.

And the last chapter was spelled out with his thoughtlessness that the story of the author, who had fled back to life and spicy, and thus had to retire from the adventurer, was not to be challenged in a half-baked way.

But the last paragraph. As it was in the preamble, he hoped.

"To you who read this and learned of the danger of challenging the Seven Secrets.

Still, if it's a challenge, I won't stop. Let's praise the courageous choice. And I want to keep it, a dream I couldn't fulfill.

I'm glad for once. I wanted to know what was in that place, behind it. In the end, I had to desist from all the secrets along the way, but you may turn out differently than I did.

Expect, support, and brace it. "

Yes, I entrusted my dreams to those who read the book, and the text was over, but underneath it was a date for me to write the book, or more than a hundred years ago.

"If I were alive, I would have listened to you in person..."

Exactly. You won't be alive anymore. That's a little too bad, the voidness fell on my chest, but when I closed the book with Patan, I put it up in front of my face.

"Domination of the Seven Secrets...... isn't that a big dream worthy of the freest adventurer in the world? I'll take your place."

And one day I'll spell out that experience and write you the second part of this book. That's for the author of this book that gave me a dream.

Winter is over and a new spring is upon us. Hoke ~ and temperatures that leave a little cold in cheerful weather that makes you want to stay home.

In my physical sense, is it time for the cherry blossoms to bloom? Well, I don't have it in this village with raw hate, but I've seen it before where distant mountains are colored with pink dots.

In time for such a New Year's Eve, Dick was becoming even more encouraging for an exam approaching two more years. He's driven by unexplained anxiety about what to do if he falls, etc. I watch warmly that it may be like exam neurosis, but conversely, I'd like to ask how I would fall if I failed an exam for a 7-year-old.

I know that.

Instead of being 7 years old, he's spoken in a respectful tone to a village boy with double the age difference.

'Cause I just said mix it up, and I was there when the blurb shook up and I said no with respect.

With that experience, why do I get anxious that I might fall for the exam?

Hey, I don't know. If you insist, Dick's anxiety element would be studying, but I don't think that other five-year-olds who have been preparing for exams for more than two years are.

Honestly, I think he's an idiot.

But I don't speak of it. If you think you're anxious, you just have to do it until it's gone. There were some practical examples of things that I regret doing, such as studying and training... Well, if you were a child who aspired to be the same knight around you, would you rather think it was reliable?

I'm sure it's not a bad thing. The villagers treat me and Dick normally from around the time they grow up...

But Hate and I are not going to school, so we're going to continue the life that the children of the village see.

Dick goes into exam study too soon, it's time for a year. I did enough of that prep practice.

In conclusion, I'm super free.

Again, I was reminded that there was nothing in this village.

But that's why I don't feel like making a serious effort to make friends. It's purely because it stinks of trouble, and I don't particularly have a play I want to play with them. I can't be serious right now.

That's why I spent more time alone, making the most of it and working to develop the original magic.

... also goes back to when I read the magic book I bought a few months ago.

[Magic legality].

Yes, it was a person named Maris Liberdo who wrote the book that hit the title. It's also recent that the book was put out, and it seems to have been written about 10 years ago.

And, curious about its content, what was written was the degree of interference in the world and the relationship between consumed magic and the formalization of the image process in magical activation, some magic was described based on its reflection as an appendix.

The appendix is fine, but let's take a closer look at the first two.

This world is supposedly created by the God of Genesis. The God of Genesis created numerous lives, first the earth, then the sea, and then the air, and finally men and trees, subhumans and animals.

In other words, we live in the power of God in Genesis.

Then, based on the theory that the power required by the magic of intervening in the law created by the God of Genesis - that is, whether magic depends on the content and scale of the event to be rewritten - it was written that the magnitude of the magic consumption was contrasted between the case of producing and manipulating water and the case of manipulating the water that existed from the beginning.

To conclude, it had been demonstrated that dealing with the water present consumed far less magic.

And then the image process in magic activation was told using the primary magic fireball as an example.

In my case, I think of fire spheres to activate fireballs, but I think of fire and spheres in pieces, and multiply them to activate them. In doing so, even if you change the order that comes to mind, as well.

I mean...

1. [Tue] [Sphere] Fireball

2. [Sphere] [Fire] Fireball

3. [Sphere of Fire] Fireball

If you use the arrow as the direction of the flow of time, you can write it this way. This actually brought what was written in the book intact, but furthermore the author was rewriting this in this way.

1. [Fire] + [Sphere] = Fireball

2. [Sphere] + [Fire] = Fireball

3. [Sphere of Fire] = Fireball

When you rewrite from an arrow to an expression, you know very well that 1 and 2 are essentially the same thing. From this, it can be said that in the image process, the order of imagination is not important, but whether it can be added together is important. In other words, being able to manipulate enough magic but not activate it means that it's not working.

3 more, but this is similar magic activated because it contains elements [fire] and [sphere] in the image itself of [sphere of fire].

What's more, [fire] can be broken down into even finer elements such as [hot] and [red]. That's also true of the [sphere].

In other words, the elements of the image can be combined. And this is what underlies the idea that I might also be able to build original magic, which shows that the image process can be simplified.

In detail, like this fireball, what is commonly referred to as elementary magic with a single or as little as two image processes, but also intermediate magic requires at least three elements, and advanced magic requires at least ten.

Furthermore, the greater the magnitude of magic from earlier theories, the more skill is required to simultaneously manipulate large amounts of magic.

How difficult this is.

Can you understand that I can't handle intermediate magic well? Or can you tell me how much concentration is needed if the magic job is a basic rear guard and it is normal to require a long chant?

However, the synthesis of the images of 3 suggests the possibility that the magical difficulty can be reduced by one step. If this can be applied, it is not impossible to activate complex magic more efficiently and easily.

And what struck me above all was the very formalization of this image process.

Until now, I've seen and remembered it over and over again, but that's where the itinerary of actually writing down the necessary elements and thinking about what's missing.

I may think that's all, but actually, thanks to it, the acquisition of intermediate magic has progressed at an accelerated rate.

At that time, it occurred to me that with these theories, it would not be possible to construct the original magic.

For one thing, I thought it would be difficult to knit from scratch, and I decided to improve my special magic, but things don't go easily.

The magic I named Burning Demon Shochi is a substitute for imitating my father's moves. However, that is a sword move that can be done because it is a demon sword, not magic.

If it's going to raise one big difference, it's going to be the activation speed. Though it is a sword move-like name, it is magical for once, so it is not the kind of specification that comes out if you wave the sword like a demon sword.

But ideally, that is desirable.

Simply think about it, even if you can just use that move over and over again at the right time, it becomes a pretty powerful trump card.

But how can I do that?

After thinking about it, I wondered if I could create a magical sword.

Yes, make the Devil's Sword, magically.

I don't know if it's possible to do that, but if it's similar, it's possible that I can make it, so I tried again.

It was one day that I began to develop such original magic.

"Seems like you've been practicing magic so hard lately, Ray, you want to go to school?

My mother asked me that.

"No, I'm just trying to make some original magic."

"Oh, really? But why don't you go?

"Why? You don't have to go to school to study here enough."

There are many kinds of schools, from the cavalier training schools that Dick aspires to, to the ones for children in general, but what is common to them is that they can only be enrolled at the age of seven. Then over the course of six years, he leaves his parents and encourages them to study and train.

And two years before he became an adult - he graduated at the age of 13, each taking a job in an area of the school, or returning to his birthplace to look for a job. Of course it's not compulsory education, so you're free to go or not.

And if it's not my duty, I'm not going. Assuming I went to a public high school, I told the elementary school to mix up and learn what.

"What do you think? There's still one thing Ray doesn't know or can't do, isn't there? For example, history and geography of the world. To the powerful use of magic, swordsmanship and magic. There's got to be a lot more to learn from Ray, right?

If you're history or geography in this world, it's quicker to find out for yourself. Before that, I think I'll be taught from reading and writing letters.

If you're using magic, you've already got your hands on intermediate magic. Rather, it's too soon, and I feel it would be quicker for my mother to teach me new magic.

But in swordsmanship and mastery, it makes sense. I think I can learn if I can get to know the mould, but I'm a little resistant to breaking my style now. At least, I don't want to waste my time and actively learn.

If they're the only ones, having a father who's strong enough to get in trouble is one of the reasons why they don't want to go.

"You'd better stay here. I can learn a lot more."

"No more... because I look like that guy to the point where I don't have to resemble him, I'm stubborn. You have no choice, I really didn't want to tell you...... you, Dick, do you have any friends other than you?

It's a straight ball! No, my friend!

If Dick enrolls in school, he'll be alone soon, but what's that?

Of course I can't say...

"... I'm not here."

"Yes, then why don't you go make friends?

"Are you going to school for that?

Schools are not so easy to reach in this world. Besides the fact that tuition is expensive, it is also in a local sense.

It is rare that there is a school within walking distance. Most of them live in dormitories at the same time as school. Depending on the location, you may have to make a long journey.

Still, with his hard work and the understanding of his parents, he can get into school. There are so many impure motives, such as going there to make friends.

"I'm fine, nothing. 'Cause this guy's got plenty to play with."

That's what I said, I held the sword and the book in my hand. And then I realized.

That's like the guy whose plant says he's a friend, right?

"... go to school. Then I'm sure you'll have a friend too... no, I'm sure you will."

Stop crying. Because I'm starting to seem like a pathetic kid.

No, I guess so from my mother's point of view... though I'm so botched that I can't deny reality or anything.

After all, I couldn't convince my mother, and my father reported that I was a botch, so I went to school to make friends.

What's wrong with a botch!

Yes, a few days after I was reopened, I was awarded the disgraceful title 'Botch'.

"Guru... I don't think they were born in the same village. Don't you have a sense of fellowship?"

I hate kids.

If I told the village womb boys to take a little wooden sword and chamber it to clear up the stigma, I could run away crying.

I panicked lightly when I activated the magic in front of the kids playing in the square that this would interest me.

Then, having recently acquired something that will become artistic skill, I am no longer a top painter level and now rumored that if I proudly took a sketch of myself to a girl, she would cry saying, "I'm not a face like this."

I can't do this in this village anymore. It broke my heart.

So I'm leaving.

Yes, the children from all over the village cried and my parents scolded me, and I decided to leave the village for good.

"But where are we going..."

My mother taught me there were three candidates for school.

The knight's school Dick is aiming for.

A magic school that has drained numerous famous wizards.

Royal College, which can be accessed indivisible from aristocracy to civilians.

They all seem to be particularly famous schools in the world. There will be competent children from all over the world. I don't care where you go to make polar friends, but for one thing, the Knights School is going to be rolled up to the Knights as it is, so it's an exclusion.

Next is magic school, but this is also excluded. Because it's a long way from home, and because it's a school style that teaches magic mainly so you can tell from the name.

So what remains is the Royal College. The distance of two weeks on foot and the school breeze seem to weigh on the autonomy of the students. Whatever, you're going to lay the groundwork in three years of enrollment, and then you're going to be choosing your own classes like a university for three years?

Well, considering that you can come back to the village for the holidays and the environment where you can only learn what you want to learn, isn't this the best place? It's just an erasure...

"... study for exams... I don't know"

I don't really remember how it was because it was almost 10 years ago, but I don't like it.

When I think about it again, my disgust really stings, but when I think about it, I think that there is nothing in particular to do.

Because...

Swordsmanship The level at which a child cries and escapes.

Magic The level at which panic happens.

Study A level of normally crying if you fall for a test for elementary school students.

"That... what am I supposed to do?

I was in trouble and asked the students.

"First of all, remember the words!

I was told with a very doea face.

"Because the name and place names of things are the problem, remember that, we need to be able to write them! Can I teach you something?

He looked like a very proud winner.

In the meantime, I wrote all the right answers to the problems Dick put out to your father, and I went home.

Then a few hours later, Dick slapped me on the problem paper saying it was a battle, and that became the norm at 3: 00 is another story, but apparently even if you're studying, I'm at a level where you don't have to cry.

That was confirmed, and I decided to forget about this issue.

More than that, it's an original magic development.

I read the magic book and got an idea. I want to finish it before it rots.

But the difference between what you've actually seen or not is huge. Even when I say a burning sword in a bite, the accumulation is not the same as Uri's burning demon Shochu. The sword itself is magic.

It is not an ideal blow, either, but a wave that allows for continuous use. The image has not yet solidified.

All I could do now was elephant a sword.

If you want to fix it to a ceremony, [sword] + [fire] = [sword of fire]. It's still far from complete.

Others, referring to the image process of intermediate magic, have tried to create magic that produces [blades of fire], but unfortunately with a single shot specification, far from ideal. In the sense that it can be maintained, [Sword of Fire] is closer to ideal.

And there's another problem.

Magic manipulation is immature. As a matter of fact, I've been kansting my skill levels for a long time, but I still haven't been able to gather enough magic. The prediction is that the amount of magic that can release as many intermediate magic shots as you want - I'm thinking of an advanced magic level of magic consumption, but I don't have the skill to handle that much magic right now.

Mother said that skill level is a quantification of proficiency, and that kansted is only the extreme and arguably lowest stage. It is really important to build proficiency that is not quantified.

So I wonder if I'm still immature myself, and lately I'm focusing on working out magic manipulation beside formalizing magical images.

I'd like to get it done by the time I get into school if I can, but proficiency in image stereotyping and magic manipulation. If we don't complete these two challenges, we can't do it.

As a result, I began to concentrate both in the sense of working out and on intermediate magic mastery, but how is this also quite possible?

Maybe I don't have a lot of magic talent. Trouble.

Whether we should be glad that we did not have to be brief during the evolution is a subtlety, but the development of original magic in that way made the difficulties extremely difficult in many ways.

Still, I didn't give up, and, oh, no. Again and again, assembling the ceremony, sharpening my skills, a year - before the magical completion, the day of parting came.
