Chapter 30: Experiment
“[Detect Enemy]~. Alright come on, is that n.o.ble actually on my side?”
“Tsk. Why do you doubt people so quickly? As fellow humans, why do you not try the thing called ‘trusting each other’?”
“Stop stalling and just tell me the results of the spell already, GM~”
“Fine, fine. ‘In Gio’s eyes, the figure of the n.o.ble is glowing.’ You satisfied now?”
“I knew it! Now I know he possesses hostility against me, but the question is how much? Is he just miffed? Or does he really want to kill me?”
“Hah! Who knows~~”
♥♦♣♠ d.a.m.n, a conversation with my GM from long ago just replayed inside my head.
[Detect Enemy] does indeed detect hostility, but it does not indicate the degree. It means that worse case scenario, Heldol could just lose it and come lunging at me right here and now.
In the midst of such thoughts.
I hear a hard-sounding noise like kata kata close by. It is the sound of the clattering teeth of the boy and girl who had been holding those magical power detectors. Their faces are also pale.
They are most likely frightened by the Baby Red Dragon sprawled next to me. Although it is just a Baby, its mouth is still big enough to tear off a human's head with a single chomp, so being afraid of it is only natural. When I look towards the magicians, I notice that both Yahman and Nasaria also look very worried about being attacked.
“Apologies about having caused a fright.”
While trying my best to sound calming, I use [Magic Dispel] on the Baby Red Dragon. The large red figure fades and blurs to nothing, causing the two to breathe out loudly in relief.
“So you can both summon and dismiss it at will. Truly impressive. Even if it was an illusion, it would still be worthy of commendation.”
So says Heldol after gesturing with one hand for the boy and girl to return. He is smiling, but there’s no fooling my spell’s effects.
“I can bring it out again, if so needed. But with this, I hope that there is no more doubt as to whether [wizardry] exists or not, yes?”
“Aah, indeed. With that clarified, however, I now have another question of extreme weight.”
It’s that one that Claura asked me before, right? Whether wizardry is a personal ability that only I possess, or whether it is a set of techniques that other people can also learn and master.
…… How am I supposed to answer a question that even I don’t know the answer to?
Going by appearances, it seems that Heldol is hoping for the latter. But for now, let’s try having this conversation.
“Is it whether my wizardry can be relayed as a set of techniques?”
“That is exactly it! We of the [Subjugation Faction] hold magic as a tool granted us by the Creator for the purpose of fighting against anki. When there is an opportunity to strengthen that magic, it is the duty of all magicians to spare no effort in embracing that change.”
Nn? ‘Subjugation Faction,’ and ‘Creator’? Not good, more words that I don’t know. Let's remember to ask Claura later. But well, magic being for the purpose of fighting anki goes right along with my goals.
“As for the answer to that question, even I know not. However, what I amable to do is explain how I became able to use wizardry.”
“Ohhh~”
Delight comes over the face of Heldol and the other two top seats.
But unfortunately, his hostility still remains.
♥♦♣♠ Several tens of minutes later.
“I see. What an astounding mystery it is.”
“Unlike the magic board and magic characters, which naturally show up in our vision, you have to actively dive into your heart, is it?”
I have just finished giving the magicians a complete explanation of ‘the settings behind wizardry.’ To think that it was worked out to such a level of detail—even I am amazed. Of course, I did not tell them the important parts, such as how to train to see the Inner World, about the Door of Wizardry, and about ‘charging.’
Despite that, it seems the magicians are still suffering from quite a bit of culture shock. To be honest, when I think of how they’ve spent years polis.h.i.+ng real techniques, and how all I have to offer are the details of a game, I feel slightly unpleasant.
“If what Margils-dono is saying is true, then does it mean that just like magic, learning wizardry would be difficult if training does not begin at a young age?”
“I suppose……”
The Vice-Leader and Branch Leader begin furiously whispering to each other.
It’s not like I can’t enhance my hearing to listen in or just outright read their minds, but…… the sense of virtues of a modern j.a.panese person that I still can’t seem to abandon, as well as the guilt I feel in regards to these magicians’ efforts, both stop me from doing so.
“What do you think, Margils-dono?”
In the midst of my inner struggle, Heldol cheerfully raises a suggestion.
“As a start, what do you think of an experiment or two?”
“Experiment, you say?”
“Indeed. How about an attempt at teaching us the very basics of the basics of wizardry? I believe this method would be the fastest way to find out.”
“Well…… you have a point. But it will take time, you understand.”
If, after several years of training, the conclusion at the end is that Sedia people cannot use wizardry at all, I wouldn’t even know where to start apologizing. But before even that, I’m still not sure whether I should teach them how to use wizardry. At the moment, I am leaning heavily towards “that is a very bad idea.”
“Actually, this branch is managing a magic school. That place currently applies a new method of teaching magic that I devised myself. For that purpose, I have gathered a lot of talented individuals. I wish for you to try teaching them wizardry.”
“Heldol! I mean, Branch Leader! Surely you are not……!”
For the first time since this meeting started, Claura b.u.t.ts in. Apparently unaffected by her sharp voice, Heldol displays a cool face.
“If it is on those ‘magic soldiers,’ feel free to do as many experiments as you like.”
So saying, Heldol gestures towards young boy and girl in black uniform.
“Tsk. Why do you doubt people so quickly? As fellow humans, why do you not try the thing called ‘trusting each other’?”
“Stop stalling and just tell me the results of the spell already, GM~”
“Fine, fine. ‘In Gio’s eyes, the figure of the n.o.ble is glowing.’ You satisfied now?”
