Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 376

 

Modern Magic



"Good morning, everyone!"


When one is desperate, one can do anything.


I am conscious of the basic training that has been taking me until after noon now.


No


We've become accustomed to finishing before noon when we speed up at a deadly pace.


Everyone was sweating like a waterfall and out of breath, but there seemed to be plenty of energy to spare.


Sarah was only sweating a little, which was amazing.


"Today, I'll be taking over as your instructor."


By the time basic training was over, the instructor had disappeared.


And there was a calm-looking old man standing in front of us.


"Take a breath, cool down, and come back to the training center."


The old man leaves after saying that.


"Hey, who is that? A knight?"


Sarah asks me


"Sorry, I don't know either."


"What! Don't you guys know that person?"


One person interrupts our conversation.


He was the top candidate in our batch.


"Who?"


"Ah! I'm sorry! I! I'm Tarkas Urbain, a former imperial noble!"


This guy is loud.


He's always yelling.


"No one asked your name! I'm asking who that old man is!"


"Ooh! That's! I'm sorry! S-stop being so violent!"


Sarah also seems to be angry and grabs Tarkas's collar.


"He is! Yes! If I say so! Oh! If I say so!"


"Speak normally or I'll hit you?"


"I'm sorry!"


I'm sure he got a perfect score in the lectures, but his practical skills were pretty bad.


"That person is Hendil Nam. He's a knight who achieved many feats of magic during the fifth Anti-Holy Kingdom Defense Battle."


"What is this, the fifth Anti-Holy Kingdom Defense Battle?"


"It's a term that I came up with! Isn't it cool?"


He's probably talking about the battle that prevented the fifth invasion of the Holy Kingdom.


What can I say?


This person is a pain in the ass


"So he's a knight and an expert in magic?"


"That’s pretty much it!"


We headed to the training center while having such a conversation.




-----------------




Knight Hendil's lesson on magic begins.


"Well, let's start by reviewing about magic. Who among you considers themselves knowledgeable about magic?"


"Yes! Yes, yes! This Tarkas Urbain will answer! Yes!"


"Well, it's good to have energy. But be careful, because your hotness is a negative."


"…Yes"


Even from the knight's point of view, he looks like a pain in the ass person.


"So, Candidate Tarkas, there are two types of magic in the modern Empire. Can you answer that?"


"Yes! Combat magic and life magic."


"That's a great answer. What's another name for it?"


"Combat magic is [modern magic] [anti-disaster magic]. Life magic is [ancient magic] [natural magic]!"


That's amazing


His answer came out smoothly.


"Good. Now, please answer as much as you can about the basic knowledge of life magic."


"Yes! Life magic is the manipulation of natural phenomena using mana that was established before the Empire.

 It generates fire, water, wind, earth, lightning..."


Sarah whispers to me


"Can Alex speak that fluently?"


"Yes, but not as eloquently as that?"


I wonder if he's got everything he's ever been taught in his head.


"So what about combat magic?"


"Yes! Combat magic was brought along with the Empire by the God of Wisdom, Ginkei.

 It's magic to counter [the disaster that will someday fall from the sky].''


A disaster that will someday fall from the sky


Magic to counter it


That's why its other name is [anti-disaster magic]


What is ancient magic?


Manipulate nature with mana


And throw the phenomena generated by it against the enemy.


What is modern magic?


Converge mana


And strike it against the enemy to cause physical damage.


This is


When it comes to killing or injuring a target, modern magic has the advantage of requiring less mana and requiring less time to cast.


Just to kill the opponent


Magic just for that purpose


In terms of versatility, ancient magic is superior.


It is useful in general life.


That's why it's called life magic.


"……That's all!"


Tarkas' explanation is over.


"Fumu, full marks. You can be proud of that knowledge and the fact that you can say it right away."


"Thank you!"


"Also, please adjust your voice a little more."


"Sorry!"


From here on, a lecture on magic


Tarkas was unparalleled from start to finish.


Tomorrow we will practice magic.


How much magic can Tarkas use?
