28 Chapter 29: Concept Magic (2/2)
Nonetheless, I stayed on the defensive as originally planned to see their abilities and they severely lacked training.
Ariel managed to gather enough magic power for a Ventus Tormentum despite casting countless Ventuses but she missed, and due to that she became temporarily immobile since she ran out of mana, after judging that I had seen enough, I ran up to Ariel and used Glacio once we made contact.
I then ran towards Serena who had missed her fireball when she tried to stop me and used Glacio on her too. That was how they lost.
Ariel's mana pool is growing but without a wand, it's still not that high. At this rate, I might have to teach her another concept instead of Wind so she can protect herself... However, that would be unfair on Serena... So I would have to teach her another concept too...
”Damn it god what should I do!” I shouted out
Shortly after they were done speaking, they finally arrived.
”John, we were formulating another plan. Do you mind if we had another fight tomorrow?” Serena asked
I could have sworn we were allies, why do you guys want to beat me so much
”Hmm... I think it'd be more effective to try after the training is over...” I replied
”Then, we'll do it after the training is over,” Serena said
”Alright then, let's start.”
What should I do... Ariel is here so if I teach her the fire concept... Ah... Screw it. I'll just teach them both the same concepts, I'll teach Serena the wind concept and fire. Who cares if the concepts go public? I'll be doing a good thing for society.
Even if I'm making mages which could potentially want to kill me stronger, I'm only teaching them a fraction of what I know.
From what I've seen, with the knowledge I have, I've been able to create magic which has nothing to do with the 4 elements, like the unique magic I heard about. There are many other concepts aside from the 4 basic elements.
For example for physics, I might be able to create lightning spell... I also learnt biology, so I should be able to come up with a healing spell... With chemistry, I might even be able to create gold... Or not.
”Yeah, there's nothing to lose, if anything happens, I'll just learn stronger spells to protect those I care about” I unintentionally said out loud
”What?” Asked Ariel as she was startled
”At our current level, we're too weak. I'll be teaching you guys the concept of all 3 elements which I know, These are, fire, water, and wind. I'll also be teaching ice magic, Understood?!” I said
”Yes!” They both replied with their expressions full of excitement
Well if i-it makes them happy, I won't regret teaching them... Besides, I'm the kind of person who hates the feeling of regret. I've had enough of it in my past life, and I try to live life without regretting anything, even if it was a horrible decision.
”But are you sure john? Teaching us something this valuable, if any of us decide to say anything, you might not get credit...” Ariel said
Ariel, I'm sure she wouldn't do anything like that. Serena we recently met and I don't know much about her so I'll have to leave it to luck
”Well, I trust you both, besides you two, don't come off as the type to take credit for something you didn't do unless you had to,” I said
”I see... Well, I'll be staying with john so when the time comes, I'll just ask you directly.” Said Ariel with a smile on her face
”I'd like to continue staying in this party too, I'm always learning new things and it's pretty fun arguing with john.” Said, Serena
”Thanks... and Serena, what was that you said at the end?” I asked
”I'm always learning new things,” She said
”Nevermind, I might have imagined it. If a kingdom learns of concept magic, it will eventually spread out through spies or mages to other kingdoms, so there's no point in me hiding it, it'll only bring a new era for magicians and make them stronger.” I said
”Yes, that would be the case.” Replied Serena
”Then, I'm guessing it's better if they learn more about it. If you guys wish to tell others or teach them, go ahead. I only think we should wait until we are stronger as a party.
We can use the fact that I discovered this, to gain a headstart and have more time to practice it.” I said with a smile on my face
I'm sure the concept behind the 4 elements will be able to make big changes. But I'll leave that to me of the future to worry about. At least at this rate, all magicians will be able to use more than one element and chantless.
Besides, won't it be cool? I'll be the trigger to a new era, I'm getting excited...
”I agree, once we're stronger, we can teach others about concept magic. You'll gain credit and most likely a hefty reward. Eventually, it'll spread to other kingdoms and everyone will know your name” Said Serena
”Is it something that amazing?” I asked
”YES! I've told you countless times, your master/teacher was the first to find out about the concept! And you were probably the only one he taught!
Unless he taught others who know, but you're the only person I've heard of who can use chantless magic, meaning your master only taught you” Said, Serena
”I see... I guess that's pretty amazing. Imagine how everyone will react in the future when we teach them?” I said
”Probably, dumbfounded.” She replied
”Yeah... But I'm glad I finally reached a decision. We'll start with our lesson, now. Serena, ariel make sure you pay close attention.” I said
”John, wait.” Said, Serena
”What's wrong?” Asked Ariel
”I have something to say... You've shown immense trust in me, so I believe should tell you...” said Serena
”Go on..?” I said
”I'm an elf.” Said Serena
