Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 96
Episode 96 of The Magic Family’s Youngest Son
was absolutely absurd. He suddenly appears and gives me attention, and then he focuses arbitrarily and now he wants to take my eyes.
‘shit.’
It is true that I was a bit complacent during the three days. Because there was no particular penalty. I thought hard about it, but I wasn’t very earnest.
‘Did Raidione read my mind?’
Anyway, it was sad. I didn’t pray for him to appear first or ask for a gift, so I don’t know why he’s so arbitrary. Is it an illusion that crises keep coming, like the protagonist of a fantasy novel?
The voice came again.
“Answer me. “It’s a child.”
Larsen had a hunch. Raidione is not a very patient god. I had to make a decision quickly. In fact, Larsen had had this similar experience several times. When adding a line using the Creator’s perk, the line had to be filled in with the ‘probability of the world’ in mind. Now, I had to give an answer keeping in mind not ‘probability of the world’ but ‘Raidione’s tendencies’.
I briefly recalled the first time I saw Raidione’s interpretation of concentration.
[You can learn martial arts by interacting with Rosaline?]
[Yes.]
[Is that really what you think? Grandel’s martial arts?]
[Do you think it’s impossible?]
Is Raidione, the god of scheming, Larsen himself interested in ‘learning martial arts’? So you said you were focused? The answer was simple.
‘That’s not it.’
So why did I start to concentrate when we were talking about martial arts?
‘I am not the god of martial arts. He is the god of trickery.’
If so, he would be very good at trickery.
“How long are you going to make me wait?”
“I will answer.”
“I guess so.”
It felt like someone raised their hand and then lowered it, even though no one was visible. It was a strange feeling. It was both amazing and terrifying. If I hadn’t just said I would answer, I could have seen blood dripping from my eyes. This couldn’t have been a fantasy. If the tempo had slowed down even one bit, blood would have literally spurted out of my eyes. Of course, that person would have been Larsen himself. Raidione is not just a good god.
“You allowed me three days.”
“Yes.”
“You told me to find what I needed most.”
“That’s also true.”
Although he is a god who does not have much patience, he did not demand an ‘immediate answer’. Like the god of scheming and trickery. He seemed to enjoy creating and directing situations. Larsen had a hunch.
‘He is a god who likes to complete puzzles by taking step-by-step steps rather than telling him what the answer is right away.’
And it occurred to me that maybe there isn’t just one ‘answer’. Whatever the answer is, it just has to be what Raidione likes.
“But I felt strange. Why did the God of scheming focus on me at that moment and tell me to find what I needed? And why did He appear now and concretize it into a single noun called [it]?”
There was no answer. Larsen continued.
“Because [it] is not some concrete thing.”
“Then what is [it] that you think of?”
Raidione, the god of scheming, wants to see scheming.
“What I need is Raidione’s grace.”
“My grace?”
As expected, loud laughter seemed to be heard in an empty space.
“You’re quite good at using cunning tricks. “That was a good answer.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
From Raidione’s perspective, those words were clearly a compliment. Without asking for anything specific, he said that ‘grace’ was needed.
“What you need is my grace. So does that mean that ultimately I have to make the choice?”
For Larsen, it was also the safest choice. Because I said I needed Raidione’s grace without choosing anything specific. As Raidione said, the gift must be given by Raidione herself. The ball is now in the hands of Raidione. I’m not sure how to take it.
Larsen asked.
“What would you have done if I had asked for something other than Raidione’s grace?”
“No matter what the answer was, your tongue would have been cut out.”
“I don’t remember you saying you would cut off your tongue.”
“I never said I wouldn’t cut it.”
Cold sweat ran down Larsen’s back.
‘I certainly never said that.’
It was a mistake to think that there could be multiple answers.
‘Radione is the answer.’
The answer was fixed. Something like Raidione’s grace or blessing or grace. That was the answer Raidione wanted.
‘You have to be careful.’
After all, it is a fantasy world. You must survive in this vicious and dangerous world where the maid hides her powers, the maid hides her poison, and the librarian is a wanted criminal.
“I liked your answer.”
I felt like someone was covering my eyes with their hands. It didn’t feel as horrible and eerie as before. A warm hand touched my eye. In an instant, the world returned to its original state.
[The blessing of Raidione, the god of scheming, comes.]
[Raidione, the god of scheming, gives ‘two eyes’ as a gift.]
Larsen was able to know what Raidione had given him. ‘Two eyes’ was not the concept of ‘eyes’ as commonly referred to by humans.
‘Special power applied to Cheonan!’
I immediately tried activating Cheonan. Two books were spread out on the desk.
‘do!’
Norran Ice World Beginner Magic Book.
Great Sage Alberto’s great magic book.
Both books were interpreted simultaneously.
‘I can now see two things at once.’
It was already frustrating because the speed of interpretation was so slow. It was a situation where he could not learn only the Ice World magic book, nor could he learn only ‘Daealwi (Great Sage Alberto’s great magic book)’. In fact, I had put it off because the learning speed was so slow.
Heira observed Larsen while clinging to the ceiling.
‘You are reading two books at once.’
It was amazing. Until now, I was clearly looking at one book, but suddenly I see two.
Some time passed. Larsen stood up. Heira asked.
“Confucius. “You looked at two books at once.”
“that’s right.”
“Did you read both books together?”
“huh.”
“I guess both books are magic books.”
Magic is a very advanced science. Ordinary people cannot use magic at all. Cultural goods that only the privileged class who have studied for a long time can enjoy. However, Larsen read two magic books at the same time.
Heira asked again.
“Can I… report to him?”
* * *
Another week has passed since I received Raidione’s blessing.
Larsen realized another thing. ‘Two Eyes’ was not simply the ability to activate the Heavenly Eye in revenge.
‘It greatly increases the efficiency when interpreting one thing.’
However, it did not mean that the interpretation was twice as fast or twice as accurate. Although we cannot know it mathematically, it was approximately 1.5 times more efficient. This means that there was an efficiency improvement of 1.5 times 50%.
‘see.’
I saw meditation. Rosaline’s meditation method. Breathing in meditation. The path of the fighting force that moves accordingly. In addition to the degree to which fighting force and muscles react, when and how fighting force builds up and is absorbed into the muscles.
And then two days passed again. Rosalind grunted as if she was quite dissatisfied.
“How long are you going to keep looking at me like that?”
“one day more.”
“I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to do. “If it weren’t for my father’s orders, this wouldn’t have happened with you.”
In fact, Rosalind hoped she could get something from Larsen.
I still didn’t like it completely, but Larsen had excellent magic fighting skills.
If you have something to learn, you should also learn from your enemies. That was Rosalyn’s mindset, but Larsen just stared at Rosalyn meditating.
Another day has passed. Larsen nodded.
“I think I understand.”
It was much faster than originally expected.
“I’ll try.”
“what?”
“meditation.”
“Meditation?”
Larsen sat down. I closed my eyes. It felt like I was trying to meditate. That is also the meditation of the Grandel family.
“for a moment!”
Rosalind moved quickly. My body jumped out like a spring. He raised his palm and hit Larsen on the back of the head.
Sigh!
There was a sound. Larsen, who was concentrating on ‘meditation’, could not avoid Rosalyn’s hand.
Rosaline screamed.
“What are you doing!”
“what? “I’m the one who got hit, so why are you screaming?”
“Are you trying to meditate now?”
“huh.”
“You have to do it with adults. If anything goes wrong, all the muscles in your body will twist and you will die. Are you belittling my fighting power?”
“…ah. okay?”
“This stupid bastard said let’s see, really.”
“But if I’m wrong, isn’t it good for you?”
Rosaline was startled. uh. That’s what I heard. He said with a slightly red face.
“It’s my job to press you down. I don’t want you to destroy yourself alone. Anyway, I’m waiting. “I will bring my uncle.”
Larsen waited a bit. Wouldn’t it be safer and more certain if Magner, the teacher, would come and take care of it? While I was waiting for a while, Bellatudo and Magner came together.
‘Is the head of the family here with you?’
Gaju is always busy. Since he is a person who has a great influence on the world situation, it is natural for him to be busy. If they cough one mistake, a small country could disappear. I’m not saying that’s actually the case, but it does mean that the influence is enormous. The fact that such a person was walking around leisurely like this during the day meant that he was very interested in Larsen.
Bellatudo asked.
“You learned meditation?”
“yes. “It took about 10 days.”
Bellatudo and Magnor made eye contact. Magner shrugged.
“Look. “Didn’t you say you could?”
Even though he said that, Magner was actually surprised.
Magner worked with Larsen for a long time and coached Larsen directly.
So, I have some understanding of Larsen’s abilities. Larsen also confessed that he had a ‘special eye’.
But I didn’t know I could learn it so quickly. It’s only been 10 days.
It is actually impossible for Rosaline to learn in 10 days what it took her 3 years to learn. If it’s the way it was.
Bellatudo said.
“Let’s see.”
Larsen sat down.
“They say that if you meditate incorrectly, your whole body will distort and you will die. Is that right?”
“right. This is especially true of our Grandel meditation method. “As efficiency and destructiveness are high, there are side effects and risks.”
Larsen closed his eyes. Although there is a risk, two of the best martial artists of our time are here. Nothing dangerous will happen.
I closed my eyes and saw Cheonan’s interpretation.
[Character Larsen Mayton begins the ‘New Grandel Meditation Ceremony.’]
I felt the fighting power hidden throughout my body coming out. The force was like a living drop of water. It felt like it was trying to break through the skin and pop out. I felt as if my fighting power was boiling over.
Bellatudo shook his head.
“It’s like that if you just look at it with your eyes.”
If you make a mistake, your body’s fighting power may run out of control.
Grandel’s fighting power is a very destructive energy. Bellatudo tried to shake Larsen’s body to stop him. You need to wake up from meditation.
But Magner said.
“older brother. Please wait a moment.”
“What are you thinking? “If you leave it like that, it will run away.”
“wait a minute. “Please wait a moment, brother.”
He said he was not the head of the family, but his older brother. As the younger brother, I asked my older brother for a favor. Bellatudo frowned. If a child of the Mayton family comes to Grandel after receiving an invitation from Grandel and something serious happens in Grandel, it is Grandel’s responsibility. For the head of the family of Grandel, the situation is very uncomfortable. However, I listened to my younger brother.
For a moment Larsen could see his own body.
‘The blood vessels dilate.’
It wasn’t exactly expansion. The blood vessels turned blue. It was visible in Cheonan.
It felt like numerous letters were engraved into my body. The feeling was centered in my arm.
It was his arm, but it felt like it wasn’t his arm.
‘what.’
‘Two eyes’ was applied while concentrating on meditation.
Thanks to ‘two eyes’, I was able to focus on meditation and at the same time understand the changes that occurred in my arms.
‘This can’t be right.’
It is invisible to the naked eye, but visible to the naked eye.
Larsen’s right arm began to glow colorfully. And soon it turned black.
The ‘blackening’ that started from my arms spread throughout my body. I felt like my whole body was being consumed by a shadow, but I wasn’t afraid of it.
Larsen knew what this was.
‘Decatra technique.’
It started working.
