Lesson 19: The Most Powerful Wise Man, Understanding the Lack of Life Experience

I look in the same direction as Alma did outside the store.

There's a blonde girl as old as Alma.

Heh... cute!

"Alma, how was this store? Mine at all. I knew by tomorrow, I can't believe you gave me the Devil's Sword. - Oh? The other one..."

"This guy is Matty. What a man to grant magic to the sword for us!

It was so striking.

No, wait. They're about fourteen, right? Think of your age. My age now... is that it? I'm twelve. There's nothing very strange about that.

Okay. First, calm down and introduce yourself. Naturally, naturally...

"Thank you, Matthias-Hildesheimer..."

"Why are you being so polite all of a sudden..."

Alma put a scratch on me. Absolutely.

I wonder what I'm kidding. Just because I'm twelve now doesn't change that I have thousands of years of memory.

This place draws on previous life's love experience. - Is that it?

On second thought, I feel like my past life experience includes very little about romance.

No. Let's think about it again.

Time lived in previous life, a thousand un hundred years.

history without her, a thousand un centuries (equals, time lived in previous life + time lived in this world)

I see. There's no reason for this to happen. Bifgel's combat experience is still as good as mine.

In the meantime, you introduce yourself. Think about it, you just have to introduce yourself the same way you did with Alma just now.

"I'm Matthias. Matthias-Hildesheimer. I have a last name for once, but three small aristocratic men. The point is, you're a civilian. I came out of the village because I had no fields to cultivate. Call me Matty."

All right. It's not every word different from before, we've got a perfect introduction. If you calm down, there's no problem.

But... I'm not responding.

When I looked at her, she had a somewhat boisterous look on her face, blushing.

... I wonder why. Did I piss you off because I introduced myself around using it?

No. That's a strange expression. What if a magical criminal lurks in the city and gives him covered-up psychic magic?

"Lurii, are you okay?

While I was putting together my detective magic, Alma approached Lurii and followed that cheek.

Jealousy - No, it's dangerous! Although rare cases, there are also types of magic that are contagious by contact!

"... Ha! So, it's okay. Wow, my name is Lurii-Arventrot. This, no fiancée or boyfriend! Hopefully, you can call me Lurii..."

I see. Don't you have a boyfriend?

It is a delightful piece of information, but is it the kind of information communicated in the first person introduction?

... maybe that kind of clinginess in some parts. Other than that, I don't see any reason.

"Nice to meet you, Lurii"

"Nice to meet you!

"Yeah, I'm just finishing my introduction, let's get back to business!

When we finished introducing ourselves, Alma somehow cut it out with a glimpse of something flattering.

... I was unconscious because of my first name, etc., but when I looked closely at Alma, it was inside -

No. Let's not think about anything extra anymore.

"Mattie, you're supposed to give me a magic grant, and Lurii's bringing that sword?

"Matty? Matty's about our age, isn't he? I can't do it with boulders..."

"I think it's common sense that I am too... my Kang says I should leave it to you."

"If you're Kang of Alma, you can't help it"

Does that make sense? Will Alma's Kang hit so well?

"This is the sword that's broken. It's a demon sword that's been passed down to my house for generations, but they told me it's impossible to repair it..."

That being said, Lurii took out a lightweight long sword that broke into two pieces from the root.

Granted magic is probably a degraded version of [toughening].

Much better than the Devil's Sword in this store... but still doesn't look like a very strong sword.

"I'm so sorry, Lurii. If I'd known sooner..."

"Thanks to Kang of Alma, we were both saved. I'm sorry to hear about the sword, but thanks to Alma and Matty, you're going to make it to the exam...... will you make it?

Lurii turned to me and asked me that.

"Of course. If the Vegetarian Sword is complete, you can do it right away. The reward…"

I'm not sure what the price of the reward is.

It'll be over in five seconds, so I don't need anything else to reward you... that won't be the reason.

The granting done by the Fourth Print is as rubbish in a previous life, or even harmful as just wasting demon stones and equipment...... it is also hard to say that it is totally worthless given the price of the weapons here and the circumstances beyond.

But even if we find out later it's too expensive, it could be a problem... here, right?

"Can I borrow one reward?"

"Yes!

Apparently, they accepted.

The value of the grant will come to light in time, and you can decide at that time what to make of it.

If it's cheap, it's cheap, and if it's expensive, we can make a big loan to the noble house. You could call it almost zero Conne or something. For me, it would likely be useful.

"Whoa, we're outfitted."

Hearing his voice, he turned around, where the shopkeeper stood, with the plain body of a lightweight long sword.

Much quicker than I was told, but I don't see any quality issues. Maybe half an hour was a pretty spare time setting.

"Shall we start granting, then? Can you lend me the Demon Stone?

"What, here and now?

That being said, Alma handed me the Demon Stone.

I'll do it now. It won't take long. Just a few seconds.

"Oh. That's about it, right there. The magic you impart is in the same direction as that sword, right?

With a demon stone on my sword, I first synchronize the magic of metal with the magic of demon stone. This is a process called magic toning.

Next, impart magic. The type of magic is... [toughening] [slashing iron]. It's the most versatile configuration I can stabilise right now.

By the way, the Devil's Sword in this store probably skips the first magic tone. That would be the biggest cause of the terrible quality.

It's like a blacksmith who doesn't know the baking process, such as a magic grantor who doesn't know the process. It should go out of business immediately.

"Well, is this it? Give it a try."

That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give Lurii my sword.

"Morning!?

"Dude. There's no way you can end up in such a short time, no matter how much..."

"Right. It should take about ten minutes, no matter how short. If you shake it like this, it's the way it is-"

Whimpering, Lurii receives the sword and waves gently.

"Whether or not the grant is on, it's easy..."

Now, shake it a little stronger.

And I opened my eyes.

"Liar!? It really does take a grant!

First, that's what I should have said...
