Chapter 40 Behold! My Magic
"Ah right, what are you two up to today?"
Seems like Rosaku-san finished his tea and put it down, I'm still trying to enjoy the tea without lowering the temperature though.
"Umm.. we don't really have any plan other than just visiting you and then maybe walking in the town and just go home after that"
Oh, uncle Alto also finished his tea too, I guess I'm gonna try to lower the tea temperature a bit and gulp it down and put down the cup on the saucer.
"Then, you don't mind if I borrow that kid for today right?"
That kid? Is he referring to me? Well it should be obvious.
"Well if Erwin himself doesn't mind about it then I guess you could Rosaku-san"
"What are we gonna do?"
I'm a bit curious because suddenly Rosaku-san said he wanted to borrow me? I don't really mind it myself, well..me and uncle Alto don't really have anything particular to do.
"I just interested in your magic, Alto said you can use Ice magic at your young age, that's pretty impressive if I say it myself because it's like an expansion of water magic right?"
Now that he mentioned it, I remember something like that in the book, Ilya-ner taught me about it and say that it was awesome when I was able to use it the first time.
"So we're going outside the wall now and see your magic in the open field"
Rosaku-san got up from his chair and walk out from the room, I pick up my sling bag and we follow him from behind to the stable nearby.
"Are we gonna use a horse? I thought we will walk there"
"No, no, no, I don't want to do that, I'll get exhausted as hell if we walk when we get into the gate"
It's not too far, isn't it? Just how old are you actually.
"You will ride with me Erwin, okay?"
"Alright"
Looks like this stable owned by one of Rosaku-san's acquaintance, I saw him talk with a middle-aged man and he just laughing and tap Rosaku-san's shoulder happily.
I wish Rosaku-san's shoulder will be fine soon because I saw him keep rubbing his shoulder all the way until we reach the gate.
"Maybe here is good"
We stopped in the open field, pretty far from the gate but it's still near the wall of the town.
"I'll stay with the horses there"
"Alright"
Uncle Alto went with the horses to the big tree nearby and bind the rope of the horses to the tree and let them eat grass.
"Alright kid, show me some water magic you can use"
Rosaku-san stomps the ground and the ground moves up a bit creating a human-shaped looking golem.
My eyes sparkling looking at it, it's so cool to be able to make such golem like that.
"Can it move? can it move?"
I'm excitedly looking at Rosaku-san with sparkly eyes.
"Ahaha I know you're excited but I didn't make it able to move, I don't have enough soul power to do it right now"
I'm a bit disappointed, but imagining the golem to be able to move must be very amazing.
"Alright show me what you got"
I take steps back and getting ready to cast magic.
[ Water Magic, Water Cannon ]
I hit the golem head and destroy it, Rosaku-san looks satisfied with it and recovers the golem's head.
"That's pretty impressive, you able to use fast cast and able to use low-class magic perfectly, now show me your ice magic kid"
Rosaku-san steps back further from the golem and crosses his hand in front of his chest.
I guess I'll try to use this
[ Ice magic, Extended Ice Shards ]
I stomp the ground and I made cast an ice shard and clone it, Rosaku-san looks a bit amazed and wipe his eye.
"How's that Rosaku-san?"
"Ah, hold on"
Rosaku-san walks closer to me to see, I destroy the magic I just cast and I see the earth golem got destroyed to pieces.
He looks at it and turns his look towards me.
"You imbued clone magic to your Ice shard magic circle right?"
I just nod at that.
"How do I put it..."
He ruffled his hair and look up to the sky.
"People usually use imbued magic to create big scale magic, they use something like a sword or knife to help them create a big magic circle"
"What do you mean?"
I tilt my head not understanding what Rosaku-san told me.
"Like this"
He starts to draw on the ground, a magic circle and he places some Peebles.
"Let's assume this is the magician"
He draws a little circle near the magic circle.
"And this is the mediator for the magician to cast his big scaled magic"
He places some Peebles in the magic circle.
"This magician uses it by adding a magic power into it to create this big magic circle, but it's pretty dangerous since it will need a lot of soul power to do it"
Ahh.. I see
I nod after I understand Rosaku-san's explanations.
"But actually what you did is pretty rare, no magicians actually recreate a magic circle and imbued another magic into it, that's why I'm so surprised, I guess Alto is not only spitting random stuff about you huh"
He just laughs his soul off after that.
