Under the spring sky, a sea of flowers with tulips blooming dazzlingly all the way to the horizon.
This is Siastulica.
As the home of tulips, representing the affluent central region of Richland, the Ludwig family owned one-third of the area.
"The weather is really killing me...."
Rain, who was lying down with a puppy dog's paw in his mouth and blankly staring up at the sky, sat up abruptly the next moment.
"In order to achieve something, you need to have short-term and long-term goals."
The extreme of magic, truth.
Now that I've made up my mind to see it, I can't waste a single day, even if it was during my childhood.
'Then, shall we call Lu Di Yan again first?'
RudiyËn.
It is an ancient word meaning guide.
That is why I gave this name to the guidance magic that Lin created when she was very passionate about exploring magic.
"Oh-ba, what are you doing?"
I spread out a large piece of drawing paper on a field of grass and was drawing a magic square on it when my younger sister came over to me.
'Ugh, it's annoying… … .'
After being kind to me once, I keep bothering him. Every time I try to kick him out, I hear Lista's voice in my head...
"I'm trying to establish guidelines."
"Guido?"
"Should I make one for you too?"
Then Sherri Ludwig started dancing clumsily.
"Wow~ Woowwooow! Wow~!"
It means I'm very happy.
That guy always spoke like that, as if he had a brain problem.
"The form of the magic square is multi-faceted, and the runes engraved are pillar, remnant, ridge, and ladder."
There are four runes.
It allows one magic to have a total of four characteristics. This is a 4-star magic, the level of the highest magician, which only ten people in the Holy Human Empire can currently achieve.
"elegance!"
As magical power flowed rapidly into the magic square drawn on the paper, the light of the supernatural power began to sparkle like electricity.
Crackle, crackle, crackle… …!
For a moment, I felt a hot sensation in my body, and then my nose suddenly burst out and I felt a stinging pain in my scrotum. The scrotum is the organ where magical power is gathered.
'I guess I still don't have enough magical power to use 4-star magic… … .'
It was a guidance spell that consumed little magic power, so it was a good thing. If I had used battle magic, wouldn't the rebound have been a disaster?
'Your body is like trash… … .'
From physical strength to magical power.
There is no end to training.
As I was pinching my nose in frustration, the magical storm soon subsided and a light took the shape of a butterfly.
"Come here, Ludiyan."
It was a butterfly, a butterfly.
A butterfly with the power of magic that has a clear blue-white color and scatters particles of light with each flap of its wings.
"elegance."
As Seri reached out, she landed on his finger and gently flapped her wings.
Rosushigietra
Detects the target's magical circuitry and magical suitability, as well as the magical power available in the surrounding area.
Particles of light streaming from the wings come together, projecting a string of light into the air.
This is the function of Lu Diyan.
It teaches you what you need to study now, what you need to acquire, and what you can gain from your surroundings.
'The Pillar is a rune that teaches basic magical powers when used in guidance magic, and the Rest is about utilizing magical powers… . . . '
To put it simply, you can think of it as a bunch of runes that are good for learning.
Simply simple to the point of being ignorant.
So, it is a 4-star magic. There is a reason why the world's best Rin couldn't do mental calculations and instead drew a magic square.
"Do you like it?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then go over there and study by yourself."
Have you heard the words of the Creator?
As Lu Diyan flew towards Seri from her finger, Seri smiled and ran towards him.
'First, let's recover magic power... ... .'
When the sun reached its zenith, he sat cross-legged to recover his magical power and then called out to Lu Diyan for the second time.
Gustaba: Objectifies the caster's physical condition into mathematical figures.
ㆍColumn; Current horsepower: 3024.
ㆍYu (留); Current magic ship 77.
ㆍDu (逗); Physical and mental strength 64.
Is the magical power less than that of a beginner wizard? The magical line is a brain ability for mental calculation.
And stamina… … .
Rin, who grew up as an orphan, has a completely different stamina than me. It'll probably take some effort just to raise it to 300, right?
Je (梯); It was judged that it was possible to detect and acquire the secret of the bloodline limit.
ㆍBel Sidious / Bel Curious.
Here my eyes fluttered for a moment.
Bell Sidious… … .
Yes, come to think of it, I am the eldest son of Prince Ludwig of the Imperial Magistrate.
'Do you like this...?'
While I was traveling with Lista, a young girl came to me and said she would prove to me that she was the greatest wizard in the empire and join the party instead of me.
There was nothing special.
He was just a nobody.
I remember it being tricky because of the power of the eyes. They could see through all the magic I used and counter it.
'That's Bell Sidious.'
The bloodline of the Ludwig family.
You can tell what kind of magic your opponent is using just by looking at the flow of their magical power or something?
This was truly an incredible ability.
'Magic is a competition of who can counter better if the skills are the same... '
And Bell Curious… … .
It is said that the legendary eye has been successfully opened by only three people in the history of Imperial magic.
"It is said that while Bel Sidious spies on the opponent's magic, Bel Curious steals the opponent's magic."
The reason the Ludwig family was given the nickname of 'the stealing wizards' was because of those eyes that were successfully opened.
'I don't know the details, but… … .'
I've heard that he has some ridiculous ability, like being able to erase someone's magic or make it his own.
'then.'
Little by little, the goals of my childhood began to take shape.
First of all, there is basic physical strength and magical power.
Without stamina and magic power, you can't do anything. To rise again to the ranks of the great wizard.
"lane."
When I turned around at the sound of the voice I heard, I saw my father approaching me with a nobleman's gait.
"Do you know that there is something called a bloodline limit in our family?"
what?
Were you watching from behind?
"Yes, that's right...."
"It's still a little early, but are you willing to learn about the bloodline?"
Are things going to be this easy?
hmm....
Wouldn't it be a good idea to just keep the theory in your head and then practice it once you have the physical strength and magical power?
"yes."
"Then, starting today, Elin will guide your education. Only while I am away at the conference. When I return, I will guide you personally."
"Elin?"
Hey, what is it?
It's definitely a name in Rain's memories... ... Who was it?
"He is kind-hearted and has outstanding magical talent. He is a professor at
Then, the sound of footsteps on the grass was heard, and Rain's expression turned pale.
"to...."
It was a groundbreaking outfit that broke all the rules of the nobility.
The Ludwig family's robe, which has been modified in a way that reveals the body, has a short hem and narrow chest, and white jade earrings that jingle from both ears.
"Ugh...."
The sharp cat-like beauty looked down at Lane, but then crossed her arms and frowned.
"Oh my, this kid with neither cuteness nor talent is supposed to be personally taught by this genius professor, Elin Ludwig?"
Cavern smiled brightly and pointed at Elin Ludwig.
"Here I am your aunt Elin Ludwig, who loves you as much as I do! I met you when you were six years old, so say hello."
father.
Don't you know what love is?
* * *
"Do you know who I am?"
"Are you Aunt Elin?"
"Haha, you're known as the genius professor Elin Ludwig. A genius professor. A genius professor who hates dullards who can't understand at first glance."
Judging from the fact that he kept emphasizing that he was a genius professor, it seemed like he really liked that nickname.
"So, once I teach you something, don't ever ask me any questions again. Got it?"
That's how the education on blood ties began.
Bloodline limits.
That is, family magic.
It is said that the knowledge of home magic is never organized into documents, perhaps out of fear of theft by other magicians.
In order to learn, one must face the superiors of the family and receive the knowledge engraved in their heads.
"Just take a look."
As Elin focused her magic into her eyes, they burned red and a silvery death-like look was engraved on their eyeballs.
That's Bell Sidious.
Rain let out a childish exclamation as he felt the gaze scanning his body and soul, a sensation he had experienced before.
"wow!"
"How about it, cool? To use this, you need to be able to perform three magical operations at the same time. Three, three! Do you think a kid like you can do that?"
Elin shrugged her shoulders proudly, satisfied with Rain's sparkling eyes, and wrote down a few formulas on the drawing paper.
Magical battle.
Magic interpretation.
Magic vision.
Rain nodded, humming as he looked closely at the formula.
'I thought it would rely heavily on things like innate sense since it's a bloodline limitation, but it seems like theory plays a bigger role than I thought?'
If the clan's founder, Ryuken, hadn't placed such petty genetic restrictions on him, even Rin of the past would have been able to use it.
"You don't get it? You don't get it? No matter how many times you look at it, you still don't get it? You can't understand it?"
"No, I just need time to roughly organize everything."
"Oh my, there's no answer. I have no choice but to teach you something special… What?"
"Thank you for the guidance. I will take care of it from now on."
He bowed politely and opened the drawing paper.
That was Lin's original personality.
Rather than learning directly from someone, I liked to open a book and think and explore on my own. Above all, what on earth could a great wizard learn…?
"No, you don't have to learn it? Hey, don't show off...."
When her niece, with a cruel determination, spread out her writing brush and ink on the desk and began to study alone, Ellin just blinked blankly and then pursed her lips as if to ask where she was.
"Okay, do whatever you want! It's probably not going to work! Don't cry and cling to me later!"
Elin, who was sitting with her legs crossed across the desk while shouting like that, kept glancing at her nephew while pretending to read 『Statistics Only Geniuses Understand』.
"Umm...."
Then, at that moment, my nephew furrowed his brow as if the official arrangement was slightly blocked.
"!"
He took the parchment towards himself, explained the part that Rain seemed to be having trouble with dozens of times more easily, and then handed it back to her.
"?"
When Rain raised his head, wondering what on earth was going on, Elin lifted the book and covered her face, pretending to read. Of course, it didn't even last three minutes.
"Umm...."
I just furrowed my eyebrows while solving the formula, and he snatched the parchment away again, wrote some tips and explanations on it, and then gave it back to me.
"???"
It was strange.
It was so strange that for a while, Lane just stared at the mathematical formulas that Elin had written on the parchment in neat and meticulous handwriting.
'What is this? Is this what modern magical education is like? Or are you testing me right now?'
The boy's mother, Brim, watched her younger brother's attitude with pleasure, and took advantage of Elin's brief absence to approach her son.
"Rain, rain."
"yes?"
"Isn't your aunt a bit strange?"
"yes."
"That's because I'm not honest. In fact, I'm just anxious to teach you everything. Ask me a lot of questions. Even if it's something you already know."
Brim, recalling his past when he attended magic school with Cavern, smiled happily and caressed both of his son's cheeks.
"You were like that when you followed me around with your father. You were so cute."
For Lin, it was a human nature that she could not understand at all.
No… … Where did the genius professor who said he hated dullards who couldn't understand at once go?
When Ellen finally returned, I looked up briefly, pretending to focus on the formula.
'oh my god....'
I couldn't help but be astonished.
He whistles as if he has no interest at all, and doesn't read the book at all, but keeps glancing at my sheepskin.
Then, when our eyes met, he quickly covered his face with the book, but in less than ten seconds, he put it down again and stole a glance at my parchment.
'It's annoying... How can you be more annoying than a six-year-old, Auntie... ... .'
I can't just leave it like this, I can't concentrate either... I opened my mouth, barely suppressing the irritation that was building up to my chin.
"Auntie, I really don't understand this part. What should I do?"
Then, as if reluctantly responding to the call, Elin nervously closed the book with a loud thud. However, just as her mother had said, it was obvious that she was suppressing the smile that was about to split her ears.
"Eh~hey! You don't know this? Really? Ha... Our family is finished, it's finished! Give it to me. What is it?"
"This part."
"This is it! Look, how easy it is to do it this way! Euigeu!"
"okay."
"Ah~! Here, if you use this formula, it's several times easier! Don't you know this?"
"sorry."
"There's so much I don't know! What did you do until you were nine?"
"Yes, that's right."
Although he said that, his expression seemed extremely happy that he had so much to teach.
Oh, I see.
There are no normal people in this family.
Who was it that told you never to ask questions if you don't know something?
"Then what about this?"
"Ha... I really can't help it. I'll just teach you this."
"Then what about that?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk! Is this really the last time? Just ask me another question. Just hit my head...."
"Auntie, what about this?"
"Eww, eww! What's so hard about this… This is really, really the last one!"
That's how Ellen's education was.
Although he was quite a troublesome character, thanks to him, the time it took to acquire theory and practical experience was significantly shortened.
So, on the tenth day of class, Rain felt a pain as if the retinas in both his eyes were burning.
'The pain in my eyes... ... no, the headache is worse.'
As if blood had rushed to his head, the world began to turn red, and his eyes began to glow red, with a silvery death glow engraved on them.
010101010010110101.
No, what is this? Rain had to swallow hard, heavy breaths.
Everything seems to be a number.
Everything in the universe is interpreted as a binary mathematical formula, and information is directly transmitted to the brain, just as if it were the Creator.
'Magic, magic is… …?'
Let's try out some basic magic, 01010101001, the runes and mathematical formulas that make up the magic square were instantly transmitted to my mind.
'Aha, so that's what it was like… … !'
So this is how that little brat saw through all of my magic when he competed with me in the past.
'Is this really the end?'
At that moment, I felt a hot gaze and raised my head, and my eyes met with Elin Ludwig's.
"You, this, this, now, y, in ten days... how...?"
His mouth was trembling.
Not only the mouth, but even the pupils
