Chapter 135
The change wasn't just in the surrounding air.
His breathing beca rapid, it was difficult to balance, and his joints were under strain...
Thud! Thud thud!
On top of that, even a faint vibration spread throughout the entire castle.
"What is this..."
Kailius couldn't understand the situation that was happening right now.
And it wasn't just Kailius.
There was no one who could fully accept this situation.
"Al-already?"
"What kind of magic is this..."
"As expected, he doesn't disappoint."
Just as the situation was getting more and more serious,
"St-stop!"
Kailius, who instinctively felt that proceeding any further would be dangerous, shouted urgently.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuhan, bowing his head at that shout, withdrew his mana.
Thud thud thud...
Only then did the vibration of the castle stop, and the strange symptoms felt in his body disappeared.
'...Is it real?'
It wasn't a coincidence.
The mage in front of him had really caused this phenonon.
Kailius imdiately asked the Royal Mage, Kalian Asheron.
"Kalian, what kind of magic was written in there?"
The unpublished magic books given to the two were the sa magic book with the sa content.
Kalian would know the answer to this phenonon.
As expected, Kalian said, his hands trembling.
"...Gravity weighting magic."
Gravity weighting magic.
With that one word, no further explanation was needed.
Yuhan.
That guy, who he thought was just tall and well-built, had really mastered the magic written in the unpublished magic book, and showed it off on the spot.
Kailius then turned to the scribe and asked.
"Scribe, how much ti has passed?"
"Your Majesty, it has been exactly one hour."
"One hour... one hour... hahaha!"
In the end, Kailius couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It wasn't the sa kind of laughter as before.
It was just laughter that ca from pure admiration.
"Amazing!"
Kailius, who had only shown a calm deanor until now, continued speaking in an extrely excited tone.
"I have t and experienced countless mages until now, but I have truly never t a mage like you!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, to master the magic in the unpublished magic book in just one hour? As you said, this is definitely an outstanding talent!"
"Thank you for seeing it that way. It was possible because it was such a high-quality magic book."
"Hehehe, there is no need to be humble now. You have the right to be proud of yourself. Hmm, let's see..."
Kailius, who was stroking his chin and pondering sothing, opened his mouth.
"From my perspective, your talents seem to lie in being a Royal Mage, not a commander. What do you think? Do you have any thoughts on this?"
It was a completely unexpected suggestion.
Not only for Yuhan but for everyone else as well.
Everyone stiffened at those words.
It was only natural, as the Royal Mage was the most sought-after position among all the Royal occupations.
The Royal Mage was several levels above the original goal, the Royal Commander.
As such, receiving such a proposal was naturally an unusual occurrence.
But the surprise was only temporary.
'......That's true. The commander position was my own greed.'
Elbert imdiately agreed with Kailius's suggestion.
Yuhan was excellent in command ability as well, but not as much as his magical talent.
He simply wanted to bring him in as his junior, but when he thought about it calmly, it was right for him to take the path of a Royal Mage rather than a Royal Commander.
A mage with that level of skill couldn't be allowed to rot by having him command re soldiers or knights.
On the other hand, Kalian...
'What? He's going to make him a Royal Mage?'
He was seething with resentnt inside.
From his point of view, it was only natural.
How did he reach this position?
He had made truly bloody efforts, defeating all the famous mages in Asternon, and used all his family and connections to get into the King's eyes.
It was the Royal Mage position that he had barely been granted.
But.
'That guy who no one knows where he ca from?'
To make a Royal Mage out of such a commoner with no pedigree?
This was sothing he could never tolerate.
Even if it was a suggestion from the King, Kailius.
'I'll acknowledge his talent, but this is absolutely unacceptable.'
Kalian, who was determined to stop this from happening sohow, opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
Just then, a possibility flashed through Kalian's mind.
"Your Majesty, if I may dare to offer my opinion... I think that guy used a trick."
"A trick?"
Everyone's attention is focused on Kalian.
Even though it could be burdenso, Kalian spoke confidently without being intimidated at all.
"Yes, I think that guy was able to use gravity weighting magic from the beginning."
"......What?"
"Magic, no matter how talented you are, can never be mastered in such a short period of ti. Even the most basic attribute magic requires several hours of investnt."
"So?"
"Even basic magic is like that, but what about unpublished magic, and even gravity weighting magic that is not related to other attributes? Even if that guy is a genius who is born once in a hundred years, it is absolutely impossible to master it in just one hour."
The grounds were valid.
It was not sothing that was put forward simply for the sake of slander, but a speculation based on reality.
Anyone could have suspected it by now.
"......Kalian, how long would it take you?"
"For this level of gravity magic... I think I would need at least a day, Your Majesty."
"......"
Silence fell around them as that answer was added.
Kalian was also one of the magical geniuses who were said to appear only once in a hundred years.
That's why he's working as a Royal Mage.
But.
'Even Kalian needs a day, but one hour?'
The gap was too big.
To the point where Kailius, who had been grinning just now, began to have doubts.
"Yuhan, is what he says true?"
"No, Your Majesty. I have never handled gravity magic before today. Besides, isn't this an unpublished magic book? How could I, who has never even been exposed to the world,..."
Swoosh.
Kailius, who raised his hand and stopped Yuhan, looked at Elbert.
"Sir Elbert. What do you think?"
"What Yuhan says is true. This man is absolutely not the kind of person who would lie about this."
It was an answer without a hint of hesitation.
That ans Elbert trusts Yuhan that much.
Of course, that doesn't an they can just skip the confirmation.
This is sothing that must be addressed.
"Hmm..."
In the chilling silence, Kailius, who had been humming to himself, stood up from his seat as if he had made a decision.
Soon after.
"Bring three more unpublished magic books that are left in the royal family. The most difficult ones."
"......!!"
He issued a shocking order.
Three unpublished magic books.
To be sure, there has never been a case like this before.
But what does that matter?
It's an opportunity to confirm whether the mage in front of him is a black-haired beast or not.
"Yuhan. If you are truly innocent, prove it yourself."
And at that mont.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Yuhan answered confidently.
Feeling his heartbeat racing several tis faster than usual.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised at an angle that no one could see.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Three books are placed in front of him.
Not ordinary books.
Three unpublished magic books, no less.
Seeing that, the heart that had cald down for a while started up again.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
There was only one thought in his head.
'This is an opportunity...!'
When he used gravity weighting magic a little while ago.
His heart was more full than when he used any other magic.
There's also the reason that he learned it almost for the first ti through a magic book, but it's more because of the power of the magic.
'It wasn't just ordinary magic.'
Gravity weighting magic.
He could feel it as soon as he used it.
This is definitely not magic that you can learn anywhere.
***
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Three books are placed in front of .
Not ordinary books.
Three unpublished magic books, no less.
Seeing that, the heart that had cald down for a while started up again.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
There was only one thought in my head.
'This is an opportunity...!'
When I used gravity weighting magic a little while ago.
My heart was more full than when I used any other magic.
There's also the reason that I learned it almost for the first ti through a magic book, but it's more because of the power of the magic.
'It wasn't just ordinary magic.'
Gravity weighting magic.
I could feel it as soon as I used it.
This is definitely not magic that you can learn anywhere.
It can only be mastered if you have an unpublished magic book.
But.
'Three of the most difficult ones, huh?'
Right now, there are three even better magic spells in front of .
Will there be another opportunity like this?
It would be stranger if my heart didn't beat.
'I really want to give him a kiss. Kalian, I like you.'
Just as I was thinking that, the words I had been waiting for finally ca.
"Start, Yuhan."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Flip!
Without hesitation, I imdiately unfolded the magic book.
As expected of sothing said to be difficult, from the first page, the page was filled with dense writing and grotesque formulas.
Just looking at it made my face frown.
However, there was nothing to worry about.
Because I have [Prodigy of Magic], which is more reliable than anything else.
Magic learning ability is increased by 300%.
Flip! Flip! Flip!
With the feeling that my vision was widening, the contents of the book began to enter my eyes, and I turned the pages as I understood them.
After reading about ten pages? I realized roughly what kind of magic I was trying to deal with.
'It's a barrier magic.'
It's not like [Silent Barrier] that blocks noise from my outside, or [Light Curtain] that blocks attacks from the front.
A comprehensive protection magic that surrounds the whole body with a translucent barrier to protect the body.
That was the content contained in this unpublished magic book.
And I, who knew how precious that magic was, beca very nervous.
'I must learn it.'
Barrier magic is one of the magic that can be called the flower of a mage.
But even so, the reason why I haven't learned it yet.
It's precious, but it's also because it was a very high-level magic, unlike what it looks like.
Even when I was planning my mage build, I planned to master it only after reaching the 9th circle.
It was a truly trendous mont of luck to have the opportunity to learn such magic at this point.
'Absolutely...!'
Flip! Flip! Flip!
How much ti has passed?
After reading the magic book with a desperate heart for a long ti.
Finally, after reading the last page, I closed the book with a reverent heart.
Afterwards.
Whoo!
I imdiately drew upon my mana.
I couldn't control the thought that I wanted to use [Barrier] magic right away.
Calmly recalling the contents I had just seen, I implented it as it was.
The flow of mana, image implentation, formulas, shapes, etc., exactly as I read it without any difference.
Then.
Cheering.
Along with the thrilling shiver that announced the success of the magic, a translucent barrier was ford around .
No, should I call it a sphere?
It was as if the surroundings were perfectly sealed off, and even fine dust could not enter.
I had perfectly succeeded in implenting [Barrier] magic.
It was a speed that surprised even myself.
'I can definitely feel that I have reached the 7th circle.'
The 'increased magic learning ability' effect of [Prodigy of Magic] increases learning ability by percentage.
In other words, it ans that the higher the learning ability you originally had, the higher the efficiency it shows.
As such, the speed of learning magic seems to have beco trendously fast as I reached the 7th circle.
Then...
'There's no problem with the others.'
Feeling confident, I silently turned my gaze.
To the two remaining unpublished magic books.
I don't know what is written there, but one thing was certain.
The fact that those will soon be in my hands.
