Next, apart from the brats, I'll talk about Sylph.
I began to teach him magic under the guise of playing.
If he can control magic, then he should be able to fend off the brats by himself.
In the beginning, Sylph could only release elementary ranked magic 5 or 6 times before running out of breath, but in the span of 1 year, his mana capacity has grown considerably. Even if he practiced magic for half a day, he would have no problems with it.
[There's a limit to mana capacity].
There's very little truth to this line.
But magic spells are a different thing.
He is extremely weak in fire magic. He's very skillful in wind and water magic, but he's no good when it comes to fire magic.
Why? Is it because of the Elven blood within him?
No.
I learned during Roxy's classes about the [specialized system] and [weak system].
If it's based on these words, everyone has their own specialized and weak systems.
I once asked him, [Sylph, are you scared of fire?]
Even though he replied with a [No.], when he showed me his palm, there was an ugly burn on it.
When he was 3 years old and both of his parents were not paying attention, he grabbed a metal rod that was in the fireplace with his hand.
[But I'm not scared of it anymore.]
Even though he says that, he might fear it subconsciously.
This experience might affect his weak system.
If you consider the dwarves, there are many who have water as their weak system.
The dwarves typically stay near the mountainous areas, playing and having earth as their companion. When they grow up, they learn smithing from their fathers and live by digging mineral rocks as a livelihood, so their affinity is with fire and earth. However, their activities on the mountain will frequently be met with sudden hot springs, or floods caused by huge rainfall, so they are especially weak with water.
It's probably something like this, and not directly related to race.
Just to add on, I don't have any weak systems.
That's because I was raised up comfortably.
You don't really need to use fire to create warm winds and water.
But teaching him such concepts are troublesome, so I just let him learn fire magic. There's no disadvantage in being able to use fire anytime. Salmonella will be destroyed if you heat things up. One doesn't want to be poisoned to death from food, so they need to thoroughly cook it.
If you use elementary magic to cure poison, most of the poisons can be neutralized.
Even though Sylph struggles with it, he doesn't complain and keeps on training.
That's because he's the one who asked for it.
Sylph, who's furrowing his forehead as he's using my rod (the one Roxy gave me) and my magic textbook (taken from home), looks really beautiful.
Even a male like myself thinks that way. He will definitely be very popular in the future.
(A jealous heart is a father's heart.)[1]
A voice like that suddenly rings in my mind. I quickly shake my head.
No, no. Jealousy has no meaning. Plus, it should always be this strategy.
Ikemen's fishing bait strategy.
With Sylph as the big ikemen and me as the regular dude, women will flock to me, lalala.
[Hey, Rudi. How do you read this?]
As I sing in my mind, Sylph uses his finger to point at the opened page, looking up at me.
That gaze is too powerful. Emergency. It makes people want to hug and kiss him.
Resist!
[That's 『Snow avalanche』.]
[What does it mean?]
[It refers to a huge quantity of snow that has been gathered on a slope. When the slope is unable to sustain its own weight, it collapses. During the winter, there's snow that occasionally drops from the rooftop right? This is the bigger sized version.]
[Is that so....... Amazing. Have you seen it before?]
[Snow Avalanche? Of course...... not.]
I only saw it on television.
I let Sylph study the text book. At the same time, I can teach him how to read the book and write letters. Studying the language doesn't have any bad points.
Even though I don't know what the literacy rate is in this world, it definitely wouldn't be like Japan's near 100% literacy rate.
There is no magic spell that allows people to understand words in this world.
The lower the literacy rate, the more important it is to know it.
[I got it!!]
Sylph makes a triumphant shout. I watch him succeed at casting the the intermediate ranked magic, 『Ice pillar』. A large ice pillar grew out from the earth, glowing under the sunlight.
[You're very familiar with it now, hmm.]
[Yup!! ......But this book doesn't have what Rudi used?]
Sylph tilts his head and asks.
[Hm?]
I remember as he talks about the spell that I used. It's about the incident with the hot water.
I flip the magic textbook and point at two places.
[It's written in here. Waterfall and Heat Hands.]
[.......?]
[Use them together.]
[.......?]
He still tilts his head.
[How do you chant both at the same time?]
Crap. I said it based on my instincts. That's right, it didn't describe how to chant two different words at the same time.......
Now I can't laugh at Paul for being an instinctive type.
I demonstrated the voiceless incantations while casting 2 magic spells at the same time.
Sylph's eyes widen. Voiceless incantations is certainly classified as a higher ranked skill in this world. Roxy is unable to do it, and it's also said that only 1 teacher in the magic university is able to do it.
So I shouldn't teach voiceless incantation, but Roxy's melded magic spells.
I personally don't think it's too difficult, but achieving similar results should be enough.
[Teach me that.]
["That" refers to?]
[The one where you don't need to speak.]
But Sylph doesn't think it that way.
Of course, it appears that using 1 magic spell at the same time is better than casting 2 different magic spells.
Hmm...... Well, if I really can't teach him, then he will choose melded magic by himself.
[Hmm, sure. Well, just use the same feeling when you're casting a magic spell. Gather the mana from your body to your finger tips and try casting the spell with chanting to replicate the feeling. Once you gather the mana, try to remember what spell you're using and squeeze it out from your hands. Try doing that. Start with water bullet.]
Did I teach him well?
I can't explain it to him very well.
Sylph closes his eyes while uttering a [hmmm] sound, twisting his body like he's doing a funny dance.
Trying to do something based on feeling is difficult.
Voiceless incantation is processed in the mind, meaning that different people will have their own methods of doing it.
I felt that foundations were important, so I let Sylph use incantations to cast magic for the whole year.
As expected, it should be harder to use voiceless incantations the more you use chanting. It's like using your right hand to do things till now and then changing to your left. It's an extremely difficult task to suddenly change.
[I succeeded! I succeeded Rudi!!]
But things didn't go the way I imagined.
Sylph happily shouts and casts the water bullet spell repeatedly.
Though he kept using chanting, perhaps it was only for one year. Just like removing the training wheels from a bicycle. The sensitivity of a youth. Or was it Sylph's innate talent?
[Good. Well then, let's try all the magic that you have learned using voiceless incantation once.
[Yeah!!]
Well in any case, it will be easier for me to teach if he knows how to use voiceless incantations.
That's because I'm letting him do what I do.
[Hm?]
Suddenly, rain started to drizzle down.
I turn my head upwards. The skies have already been covered with dark clouds.
The next moment, heavy rain starts to fall.
Usually I pay close attention to the weather to ensure that we could reach home before it rains, but I was careless when Sylph managed to use voiceless incantation.
[Ah---- ah, this rain is really heavy.]
[Rudi, you can make rain, so can't you stop it?]
[Even though I can do that, we're already wet. Besides, the crops won't grow if they don't receive rainwater. I won't interfere with the weather unless there are complaints about the weather being terrible.]
We run towards the Greyrat household while we talk.
It's because Sylph's home is very far away.
