Chapter 6 - A Basic Understanding of Magic (2/2)

Ye You spoke softly and slowly, finished very rhythmically. Then he picked up his chopsticks again, put a piece of meat into the bowl, and said, “This is some of my basic understanding of magic.”

“Aiii~~ Is that so, even though I do not understand it, but it feels very awesome. Do you mean that magic is everyone can do?” Sora tried to understand her brother’s explanation.

Ye You nodded, “Pretty much. It is just that the ‘degree’ varies widely, and some people may only be able to make a small fireball after a lifetime of effort, so what is the point?

Might as well buy a lighter. And some can cause the elements to resonate on the first contact, architecting spell and causing incredible phenomena.”

Nonetheless, Ye You wished the Sora could learn a little bit of magic. Not to mention, having power would be very reassuring, wouldn’t it?

Furthermore, with Neet Hime as his influential friend, although she was not that good at magic, her knowledge accumulated as an immortal being was definitely not to be underestimated. With her guidance in terms of cultivation, there would be many fewer detours.

Sora frowned her eyebrows, her white transparent skin, under the direct sunlight, glistened. She was interested in magic, and it was impossible for anyone not to be. It was mysterious and miraculous.

Even if Ye You said that even ordinary people could step into the realm of magic, the fact that Sora had an inherent knowledge of its wonders still would not change.

Saw the appearance of Sora, Ye You traced the trajectory of his finger in the void. Moreover, although it did not leave any traces on the void, his finger’s rhythm seemed to contain some mystery, making it feel very otherworldly.

This was the accumulation of fifteen years of thinking about the mysterious realm, as well as three months comprehension of the knowledge that had been continuously transmitted to Neet Hime.

The traces drawn by Ye You’s fingers formed a single character. Each of which was made up of vertical lines and forty-five-degree slashes, giving it a sense of unsophisticated and straightforward transformation.

“Sora, can you see what I am writing?”

“Yes.” Sora nudged her fair chin, “this is what it called Rune.”

This rune was very much its own thing, easy to identify once you had seen it.

“Exactly. The rune contains a great deal of information in each character and is capable of communicating the elements. We do not need to delve into the principle of its ‘process omission.’ We just need to understand what each rune stands for.

Like ISA (ISA Rune), for example, which symbolizes a frozen state, all we need to do is draw out its structure and infuse it with magic to get the ability to ‘freeze’ it. By abbreviating many tedious ‘processes’ into some symbol and then combining and arranging them, we can get the desired ‘result.’ Simple, right!”

He was so excited and continued his explanation, “This is the ‘Spell.’ Like the mass-energy formula, We do not need to know how this formula is derived, but we can convert the relation between energy and quality just by using it. ‘Magic spell’ is probably similar to that. It is just that now we cannot use magic power, and we cannot stimulate the power of the runes.”

Sora put down her chopsticks. She had discovered a very crucial point that was very difficult for ordinary people to do: “You, you just said ‘infuse magic,’ right? Furthermore, what does this magic power refer to?”

Ye You blinked, “I am not sure because I cannot use ‘magic power’ yet.” But he thought whether it was spiritual power or magic power, their refers to a particular element that has the same properties — It was a mysterious substance that can be easily transformed between quality and energy

What Ye You said was ‘unable to use,’ not ‘unable to feel.’ Sora did not notice this subtle difference.

Simultaneously, there were so many different magic systems, and there was a reason why Ye You chose Rune magic. The first, of course, was that Land of Fantasy had the relevant books.

Also, Rune magic did not require much mental energy from the caster, so it was easy to get started. More importantly, Ye You had long been yearning for Rune magic. Spoke with Rune. One would think of a certain purple old woman… Not the Land of a Fantasy one.

Yesterday, Ye You were still playing FGO, and a call sign went out for Scáthach. That was why he felt sure he got a good affinity with Rune magic.

In case the chat room was connected to Nasuverse later, it might behave a common language with Scáthach when the time comes. That is an influential person.

Taking precautions is the essential operation of a knowledgeable player.

Moreover, most importantly, it was not that Ye You had to be near and far. Instead… he would not say that the magic in Land of Fantasy was simply not learned by people.

The requirements for talent were too high.
