CHAPTER 9 – MAGIC WARRIOR KAKERU
I tried a lot of things with the mountain cow.
After stopping it from the front, I grabbed its head and smashed it to the ground.
Dropping my waist low, I threw something like a straight punch.
Low kick, high kick, throwing a round kick. I tried possible combinations that would look decent.
I did a lot of things. Every move defeated the mountain cows in a second.
The result, I earned from capturing three heads of mountain cows, but learning a way how to use strength and how to use strength properly, that goal was not accomplished at all.
After all, not by technique, it felt like I was relying on physical strength only.
Using a strong character, pull out some great moves and win, it felt like that.
It’s not interesting like that, I want to move better.
「As I’ve thought, maybe I should learn techniques from somewhere. Like Swordsmanship, or Taijutsu. Should I enter those kinds of dojos」
After cashing out the third head, I strolled the town aimlessly, thought about such things.
If it is like this I could throw a sloppy punch but be able to hunt, if it’s like, that it would be too embarrassing.
Thinking about a lot of things, I walked aimlessly.
Within the passers-by, there was a person that looks magician-like.
Wearing a long robe, holding a staff.
Magic huh, when I think of it I got hit by Almosso’s magic. That also can be technically called as a technique right.
「When I think of it」
……Is magic, something I could use?
☆
「Starting at the conclusion, it IS possible」
Samaras who had completely become a familiar face.
I visited the Merchant Company, and that’s what he told me when I told him I want to use magic if possible.
He knows a lot of things that I do not know of, so getting straight to the point is helping.
「Really?」
「Yes. Basically, every human has magic power. It is either having a lot or few, and good on using magic or not, it’s that kind of thing」
「Everyone? Isn’t there any exceptions」
「Not at all. Weak enough that it doesn’t reach the level of practical use, that kind of cases happens though」
「I see」
「Have you gone diagnosis? It’s not like you can use it right away, but there’s a way to check how much magic power you have」
「Can you do it here?」
「Please, wait for a while」
Samaras went further inside the store. After a while, returned with a crystal ball.
He puts that on the counter, he said.
「This is the tool for that. Opening your palm like this and touchingーー」
The transparent crystal ball was, as soon as Samaras touched, it began to shine from the center.
Like the light of a small bulb, it shook weakly, a light that seems to disappear any moment.
「I’m sorry if I’m wrong but……does that mean that it’s weak?」
I instinctively felt that so I straightly asked.
「Yes it is. I have no talent for magic. Well, it is enough to use the magic that confirms the validity of the Royal House’s crest」
「Ahh, that huh」
I remembered what the soldier did when I came to this town.
「Do I only need to touch it? Is there anything else needed to do?」
「Not at all. It would be confirmed by touching. It’s that kind of thing」
「I got it」
I placed my palm on top of the crystal ball.
In an instance, it shone from the center just like before.
A white light, A bright light that is hard to look straight into.
It exploding spreadーーbut the crystal ball exploded.
The crystal ball that was broken to fine pieces. Its pieces was scattered all over the room.
「T-This is……」
「Uhmm……What does this thing mean?」
「Please wait a moment」
Saramas went back one more time, and took out a crystal ball that was one size larger.
「Please go on, once again with this」
Was it a breakdown or something, or was it a defective good?
While I was thinking of such things, I put my palm on the large crystal ball.
It shines from the center, a white blinding light spreadーーthe same happened earlier only up to this, but this time, it shone brightly but did not explode.
「This shade……maybe……」
「What does this mean?」
「A massive magic power it seems」
Samaras said with admiration.
