Reincarnation Monarch

Episode Four: Unchanted Magic

When Gaius woke up from a long sleep, beside him he stood as his father Lombardo peered in with even worrying faces.

You're awake.

Lombardo asked gently.

Gaius blurred for a few seconds, either to wake up or without knowing the situation, but immediately recalled the earlier incident and apologized to Lombardo.

"Father, I'm sorry.... and Rodemul... thanks"

Following his apology to himself, Lombardo nodded with admiration for his affection, which prompted him to express his gratitude to Rodemur.

Rodemur, who was watching on the side, said in awe of the condition.

"No, I'm sorry I did something that touched your precious self even though it was an emergency."

Lombardo took control of Rodemul, who bowed his head deeply.

"No. It would have been a lot harder without Rodemur. I appreciate it, too."

"Ha. Thank you for your words"

After a series of exchanges, Lombardo turned again to Gaius and asked.

"Now it's Gaius. Can you explain what the hell happened?

Gaius, who was questioned, nagged once and summed up his thoughts a little before slowly explaining the details of the case without covering them up.

Lombardo and Rodemur were greatly stunned when they heard that.

Lombardo had already heard the revelations of the incident from Rodemul, so he knew Gaius had activated the magic, but some of Gaius's explanations concealed a very surprising fact.

It was that Gaius had performed his magic without chanting a spell.

Usually magic is what is activated by casting a spell out loud.

Chanting improves concentration, awakens the magic of sleeping within oneself, and embodies the image that words bring to life and magic is activated.

But on the contrary, I can also say that if the magic has already been evoked by a high concentration without doing anything, and the image is perfectly made in me without putting it to words, then there is no need to chant.

Thus the word unchanging magic itself exists.

But it was actually regarded as a hardship.

To put it, chanting in magic is like pre exercise prep gymnastics, similar to suddenly exercising intensely without doing it is a dangerous act.

Preparation is very important to do anything, and it can be painful to put it aside.

The same is true in the case of magic, where when the chant is set aside, its power can bounce back on itself.

This is the case, for example, where when an attack spell is cast in an attempt to defeat an enemy, attack magic is activated on the person who has said that the chant is insufficient and he or she follows a major injury.

In the first place, the number of people who could handle magic was very small, roughly one in a hundred.

Moreover, most of them were to such an extent that early magic could be handled, and only to such an extent as to warm the fire and water.

There was only about one in a thousand people who could handle attack magic, and still only on a level sufficient to finally defeat the lowest ranked demons.

If you are also a level magician defeating high ranking demons, you become one in tens of thousands.

But even such high-level magicians could not carry out their magic without chanting.

So is there someone who can actually manipulate unchanging magic?

The answer is yes.

Those who were called "magicians".

A magician is a teacher who can lead a magician by reading and writing, and is close to a legend that usually lives in the deep mountain valley (Shinzenyukoku) away from the world.

To be honest, I am glad to say that it is a rare presence at a level where its reality is suspected, and that there are few such people as some who have met the Magic Instructor.

Gaius' chanted unchanging magic was the first level that could be handled in the Wizard class, which is so present, and it was not impossible for Lombardo or Rodemur to be stunned either.

"... magic without chanting... and aqua, the magic of the lowest water, which is releasing so much water...... is it true?

Gaius didn't know at first why the Lombards were looking so surprised.

But gradually I began to realize the seriousness of things.

(... is unchanging magic that awesome... it's done so naturally... and that amount of water was definitely amazing. Actually, I panicked... maybe me, genius)

Gaius laughed in his heart, but bewitched the Lombards with an innocent, healthy toddler.

"... Father... have I done something terrible? ……

Lombardo saw how such an affection was, and a little hastily denied it.

"No, I didn't do anything wrong. That's why I'm not blaming you.... right... just a little surprised."

Lombardo took care of it with a surprised look that wasn't a bit of a fuss.

Then Rodemul, who had not uttered any voice until earlier, opened his mouth.

"Sir. Apparently, Boy's magical sense is not the norm. And I have to say, the total amount of magic is enormous."

(Hmm. I'm still a genius. This is getting interesting, apparently)

"So what do you say, here's one thing for you?

Lombardo then gave a very hurried look.

"That one... no!... No, no, no. Isn't that one busy? No, I guess so. Oh, I'm sure you are, you must be busy!

"Sir. With all due respect, I understand that your husband is very bad at that one. To be honest, I'm a little bad at this, too. No, I know if you don't like him in the first place."

(What kind of guy is that guy?... rather than... Something's getting suspicious about the clouds...)

"But that's something to do with Boy's future. I would fool you to invite her to become your tutor."

Lombardo put his arms together to meditate (meow) and thought about it for quite a while.

And finally opened that heavy mouth.

"... oh... well... if we were to have so much magic sense and total quantity, we wouldn't be able to teach and guide if we weren't so many... but... wouldn't Gaius be pitiful"

(What pity... wait a minute... what kind of guy is that guy really...)

"Sir. I do know that Boy will have a hard time. I'm sure it will suit irrational eyes as well. It might even be like cursing what you were born into in this world. But I'm sure that Rodemur will endure hardship, sneak up on the sneak, and someday become a fine heir to this glorious Schneider family."

"Oh...... right. Gaius would surely fit any eye........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Come to him, Rodemur. And as Gaius' tutor, you must bring him back."

"Ha! I am well aware of the commission. Then I'll go."

Say no. Rodemur thanked him and left the room in a hurry.

Lombardo turned back to Gaius when he dropped off Rodemul's back and spoke gently.

"Gaius... this is a tough trial for you, but you'll be fine... good luck..."

Lombardo spoke that way to his love with a face that still seemed to cry.

And Gaius at the time was taken aback by the speed with which it unfolded.

(What the hell is this development... I'm not kidding... what the hell is going to happen to me...)
