The Magus of Genesis

Lesson 11 Startup/Awake

"Ah, already! Why are you such a gut, you stupid monkey!

Again today, the water color was malignant while striking down flying pieces of wood.

"Isn't the water too fine? Hey, Ruffle."

"Uh, I don't know…………"

"That's not true -. You know, Lynn thinks so too, don't you?

"I think this is what boys are like. So did the kids I used to be close to."

"I don't care, Wood Jane. Will you stop flying with me!? You're all right, but if you hit me, you're dead!?

"Oh... sorry..."

Lower your heads together to Tia screaming for real thoughts.

Well, that being said, the Little Fairy is the race that has lived this over-combatant world with its lightness. It won't hit me that easily, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

"We're getting along... can I just say, that's..."

"That's good."

Though I feel like we're fighting all the time. Groaning so, Nina agreed without hesitation.

"It's a lot for young elves these days. A child who looks down on non-elf races and doesn't deal with them properly"

"Aah…… you know what?"

Fighting, on the other hand, means you're treating your opponent as a proper reciprocal.

Well, I don't even know what it feels like.

Elves are different from other long-lived species. Probably the only humanoid species with an infinite lifespan.

At least, I've never heard of an individual who died of life expectancy.

With little exception, they use magic more skillfully than any other species. There's no choice but to look down.

I mean, six hundred years ago, humans were usually treated like livestock.

Although it has been much reviewed thanks to Eye and D'Arga...... do you say history repeats itself or is it getting closer to old perceptions?

"Is the water color that young?

I honestly have no idea how old the elves are. If you say it by the looks of it, Nina looks younger than the water.

"It must have been a little over a hundred."

"That's so young."

I accidentally answer that, and I think I've changed, too.

No one has lived to be a hundred years old.

Nevertheless, I consider myself a little younger than a hundred.

I haven't been very conscious lately because I often look like a human being, but I totally became a dragon.

"Especially that girl, who really admired purple. I wonder if Purple has come to prove the strength of an elf by knocking down a sword that is stronger than himself."

"That is……"

I'm a little confused about what I said.

"Woe to you..."

"It's true, isn't it"

That's all I said, Nina nodded deeply, too.

Utah is not strong in the sword club.

But that doesn't mean that in the historical sword club.

He'll be in his twenties anyway. There are more than a hundred men who draw the blood of the sword. Almost all of them were martial arts men.

Utah is quicker to count from the bottom among them.

... but their moves to constantly drill, devise and polish their swords are clearly stronger every generation they follow. That is an advance in speed that is very difficult to keep up with in the elves.

Because even Nina can't beat the sword club over twenty anymore.

"Sir, I'm done!

Utah will take on the big water wheel and report back.

If you look at them, they all have water wheels of the size and shape of their thoughts.

"Okay, let's try it"

Build a waterwheel carved with letters and who makes the most of them? That's my taste.

"Then who do we start with..."

"I'll do it!

Tia didn't even wait for me to finish, she was the first to raise her hand.

"Um... where's the water wheel?

But she is palm-sized. There was no way I could have anything big about a water wheel, and there was nothing in its hand.

This is it.

Knock, Tia points behind herself with her thumb.

"We both made it."

What was ahead was a super giant water wheel that Ruffle had in his hands.

How many meters is this...

"Nina, can I have it?"

"Mm."

I can hardly attach that water wheel to the water wheel cabin, which is more gigantic than I look like a dragon. Nina instantly absorbed my intentions and made a big tree grow by the water.

If you plug the axle into an empty hole as tightly as in its trunk, the lower end of the water wheel will soak up the waterway. The boulder is Nina, perfect adjustment.

"Then..."

"Oh yeah. Let's make it Awake when we start."

"Ahhhhhhh?

When I said that to Tia approaching the water wheel, Nina glanced at me with a glimpse.

There's no change in expression, but those are words I've never heard of.

"Wake up, wake up, that's what I mean. If you move, it's a spell, right? I want a spell that only activates magic in letters."

I don't usually use English, so I can distinguish it from spells. It's the same logic that doesn't use Japanese for orders when making dogs perform art.

"Aah…… magic words."

Then Nina did something strangely convincing. On the contrary, even Utah and Lynn start to nod, "Magic or Ah" and so on.

"Oh, what's that, magic talk?"

I've never heard of you?

"You only have unusual words to use when you explain magic. The one who writes in Katakana. Energy, firebraces... and dragons."

"Aah…… yeah………"

I didn't mean to avoid foreign language, but if you ask me, I might not have had the chance to use it in my primitive life. But I didn't know that was going to happen at some point...

"Well, that's okay. Tia, that's why I'm asking you."

The Japanese katakana language is a mix of languages from different countries as well as English. It's easier to explain it all magically. I don't even know exactly how many words they come from in the first place.

"Yes, then…… activate (AWAKE)!

Tia slaps her palm with momentum and screams softly.

But the waterwheel did not move at all, in the back of its virtue.

"Hey! Why aren't you moving?!

As I bathe Tia's cry from overhead, I observe the waterwheel still.

The surface of the giant feather had surprisingly small letters written on it.

I see. Did you take advantage of the small size of the tier to write a large number of letters on the huge body you had ruffled together? It looks great and is surprisingly well thought out.

... but just a little bit, the stuffing was sweet.

"Tia, it doesn't make much sense to repeat the same word over and over again."

The water wheel only said, "Take the water and go around". That's all it says surprisingly. Repeating the same letters had no effect was the same as a spell in words.

If I had changed all the rhetoric and written all this, it would have worked properly. If you look closely, the water wheel was moving very slowly. In just one passage of complaining, it's hard to move a giant water wheel like this.

"Well, next time, Atashi's begging you."

What a beautiful curved water wheel the colour of the water is. The shape is beautiful, but how does it work as a water wheel?

"Er, Startup (AWAKE) …… Was it"

At the same time as the water color complained about the startup, the water wheel made of wood was grumpy.

It changes shape to capture water as if it were alive, spitting it out and spinning. Awesome...... Awesome, but what, this way of moving. Everything was different from the water wheel I knew.

"What do you think?

Seeing my surprised expression, Huhun and proudly the water tone stretches his chest.

"Yeah… No, it's amazing."

Frankly, it's like some kind of bug and it's awfully disgusting.

However, it is certain that it is turning more lightly than the water wheels of the Tiers.

The difficulty is that the rotational speed is not constant.

But I guess the way it moved was too complicated. The water-colored water wheel stopped immediately.

After all, I already knew that it was impossible to move the water wheel forever.

The magic that engraved the letters would be the same as normal magic, and the effect would run out when time stood. On the contrary, there was even a limitation that the only thing that could magically have an effect was the carved letters themselves. That's why Utah was skipping Woodjane no matter how many times she did it.

But it wasn't without advantages. You can reuse the spell.

Word spells have to be prolonged every time, but letters can only be activated with one sentence of activation once carved in. If I can build a water wheel that will keep turning for a few hours once it starts up later, it will be a lot easier to get rid of grain and make flour.

"Well, I'll have mine next, please."

Utah takes on a big water wheel and plugs it into the water wheel cabin. I guess I measured the size well. The size was perfect. It also seems to be the most sophisticated and sturdy ever made.

"Startup (Awake)!

"Whoa............!

I raised my voice unexpectedly to the water wheel moving at increased speeds along with Utah's voice. Extremely authentic, the way the King's Road moves. Yeah, yeah, this is good.

However, the momentum of the water wheel does not stop, and its speed is increasing.

"...... Utah ka, what did you write on the water wheel?

"Yes! Here's what I wrote!

Utah makes me try to write an arrow mark on the ground.... right. If the meaning is even there, should it not have been a word?

"Not only is this... pushed by water to move, but it amplifies the power itself, right?

"Yes. I was wondering if the power of water was enough to go around."

To Nodding Utah, I understand why the water wheel is accelerating.

Maybe the rotating force itself keeps getting amplified.

If you have the advantage of being able to use it again and again, there are naturally shortcomings in the magic you use with letters.

It meant that intentions and consequences could be misaligned.

The magic of casting a spell is too large or too small, but it doesn't show very different results than I thought. But when you write in letters, that's uneven. Utah would never have had the intention of accelerating it so much. It wasn't just that the output was too big, the very behavior of accelerating is different from what he intended.

"Yikes!"

The water wheel spinning at high speed came off its core rod, slipping down the waterway and rolling towards the water color.

I just happened to be there, but I wonder why she would be harmed every time...

"Well, I guess it's me at the end."

It was a simple circle around her torso that Lynn took it out without worrying about the water color and Utah starting a fight with Gangan. Without the blades, there are no holes that can pass through the core rod, and it doesn't look very much like a water wheel.

"Seisei, in short, wants to turn the water wheel to turn the molar, right?

As I said, it was inside the waterwheel cabin, not the waterway, that she headed for.

Although it is not connected to the water wheel, the powder production in the stone molar itself is carried out inside this cabin.

"Startup (Awake)"

Lynn fits the wheel in her hand into the stone mold and says so.

Then, the mortar began to spin around.

"Then it would be faster to magically move the molars directly."

Ah! You're right if you ask me!

All I did was detain the water wheel, and the way I did it completely fell out of my head.

"You don't need water, do you?

Though that is true.

Do you, Mermaid, say that? [M]

I couldn't help but think so.
