Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Magic Warrior Kakeru

I’ve tried a lot of things with the mountain cow as my opponent . I tackle it from the front . dragged it from it’s head and dropped it onto the ground . By dropping my waist really low, I made a counter using the thrusting technique that I’ve seen before . Low kick, high kick, i twist my body and made a roundhouse kick . I was trying to get a combo that looks authentic .

I tried a lot of things . Every movement that I made would land an instant killing blow against the mountain cow . The result; I was able to secure the triple amount of mountain cow for that day, I remember how to use my power, though I wasn’t able to fulfill my purpose on properly ultilizing my strength . In the end there was no technique or whatsoever, I was depending on my brute strenth the entire time .

It feels like you’re moving a super strong character like ‘gacha gacha gacha’ and was able to win easily . That is not interesting at all, I want to be able to move brilliantly . “As I thought, it’s better if I go and learn some sort of technique somewhere . Fencing or Taijutsu, it would be better if I enter such dojo . ”

After I turned in the three cows that I’ve hunted, I wandered around the city and thought about that sort of thing . If things continued on like this, just using a normal punch I would be able to hunt the mountain cow . But that doesn’t look cool at all . I thought about a lot of things and walked aimlessly . Amongst the pedesterian, there are people who looked like a magician . Holding a long rope, that person was holding a wand . Magic huh? Now that I think of it, I recieved a magic attack from Arumoss too . If one were to say that it was a technique, I bet it would be a technique .

“Now that I think of it . ”

… . . Can I even use magic?

☆

“To say from the conclusion that I’ve made, it is posibble . ” Saramas had become a familiar face to me .

When I visit the firm, when I ask can I use magic he said those words to me . As I already know a lot of things which I formerly don’t know, the talk proceed faster than before .

“Really?”

“Yes, as long as you’re a human you are bound to have magical power . The only thing that makes you different from others are the amount of your power to be huge or small, or either you can utilize your magical power good or not . ”

“Whoever? Are there no exception?”

“There are no exception, though there are cases where the magical power is too low that practically it cannot be used . ”

“Heee…”

“Would you like to go through a diagnose? Though you cannot use your magical power right away but, we can at least check the level of your magical power . ”

“Can I do it here?”

“Please wait for a few minutes . ” Saramas went to the inside of the shop and went out with a crystal ball on his hand after a while . He then put the crystal ball on top of the counter table . “This is the tool that we use to calculate your magic power . When you touch the crystal ball like this…”

The moment Saramas touched the crystal ball, there were light emitted from the center of the transparent crystal ball . Looking like a light bulb, the shakes a little bit and the light looked so weak as if it will be put out at any moment .

“I’m sorry if I’m wrong but, doesn’t mean that your magical power is quite low?”

“Indeed, I certainly do not have talent for magic . Well, I give it my best to use magic to ascertain the authenticity of the Royal Crest .

“Ahh, that thing…”

I recalled the time when I tried to enter the city, the soldier used magic to make certain of the royal crest on the folding fan that I held .

“All I have to do is only to touch this crystal ball? Do I need to do anything else?”

“There are no other things . Your magic power will be diagnosed when you touch the crystal ball . That all there’s to it . ”

“Got it . ”

I put my palm on top of the crystal ball . In a split second, there appeared a speck of light from the inside of the crystal ball . It was a bright white colored light, it was too dazzling that it made me hard to give it a straight look at it . The light began to spread—– and then the crystal ball exploded .

The crystall exploded to smitheres and then the fragments scattered all over the room .

“Th, this is…”

“Err… what does it mean?”

“Please wait for a few minutes . ”

Saramas once again went inside the shop, but this time he brought out even bigger crystal ball than before .

“Now now, let us re-do it using this crystal ball . ”

Was it a defective product or some sort of accident?

While I was thinking so, I put my hand on top of the big crystal ball . Once again light came out from the middle of the crystal ball . White bright light filled the entire crystal ball, up until now it was the same as earlier, however this time all it did was shone brightly and did not explode .

“This color… could it possibly… . . ”

“What does it mean?”

“You hold a tremendous amount of magical power . ”

Saramas said admiringly .

“If I were to estimate it roughly, it would be 100 times bigger than the normal capacity that an average man hold . Good gracious . ”

“Hundred times huh, well it should be at least that many . ”

Weird enough it resulted in a way which could make one depressed .

Because before I came here, the skill that I got was 777 times overall strength power up . And the amount of magical power that I got was only 100 times stronger than a normal man, the amount is way lower than the original power up . … . . Wait, if I were to think about it carefully it should be around that amount right? In the opposite, a Japanese person like me being able to use magic itself is already weird .

Originally I have 0 magic power . Even if it was multiplied by 777 my magic power should be 0 . Mm . . I understand .

I finally understood the reason behind my 100x magic power but, a weird expression was seen on Saramas looks . He looked very surprised or rather admiring looks on his face right now .

“As expected from Yuuki-sama, I have underestimated you . Who would’ve known that your magical power are on par with the Royal Magician .

“So I have enough magical power to be able to use it right? And how do I use my magic power exactly?”

“There are two ways to use magic . The first one is to find a proper master, and learn from that person . That is the right path . ”

“Right, and how about the second way?”

“It is limited to magic attack but, depending on one’s talent . If you received an attack and you can sort of use that magic, you will naturally learn how to use that magic . However, that way is dangerous as it concerns one’s life . This is the most wicked in wicked way . ”

TLN : To put it in simple word, magic steal . Saramas said with a frown . Emm… if you received an attack and then you can use it… which means . I holds my hand out, I tried to feel out something . “If I’m not mistaken the attack that I received from Arumoss was fire magic— . ”

A fireball came out from my palm . Ohh!! I used a magic . I see, I see . As long as I received an attack once I can already use the magic . In that case there is no need for me to trouble myself to learn it . Little by little I will eventually comprehend on how to use magic . That would be nice .

But, magic huh~ .

As I already learned fire magic, next I want to learn ice magic . For example, fire magic in my right hand and ice magic in my left hand .

“Ohh! Ice magic too! As expected from Yuuki-sama . ”

Though Saramas said that, I was very surprised . How come I can use ice magic?

☆

“Master!!!”

When I returned home, out of the blue Miu embraced me with tears on her eyes .

“What happened Miu, welcome back *mofu mofu*—- . ”

“Master! Master!”

Miu was clinging to my with her utmost strength and her body seems to tremble a little bit .

“It appeared . ”

“What?”

“It appeared!”

“Like I said what had appeared?”

“Uuuuuu……”

She covers her face and came clining . Just what exactly had appeared?

Was it mouse, or was it G? Well she’s a girl so it could be both– . *PACHIN* There was a sound of something burst opened .

“Hiii!”

Miu was terrified, looks like the culprit to it was this sound . I looked at the direction where the sound came from, the sound was heard from inside the mansion . A parched burst sound – rap sound . TLN : [ラップ音|Rap sound – another sound that associated with poltergeist . ]

“ahh! I got it . Now that I think of it, this mansion is a haunted mansion . ”

“Ehhhhhh! Master……” Miu finally looked like she’s going to cry .

“Sorry sorry, I forgot to mention it to you . More like I forgot like I normally would . ”

I see . So it really is a haunted mansion . I spend my time normally in this mansion so I completely forgot about it being a haunted mansion . I’m fine with it though (as long as it means no harm), but with Miu here I at least need to do something . I looked at the mansion direction and think . Now, what should I do?

“Mm? Wasn’t there was a light just for a split ……”

Before I managed to finish my sentences, there was an ice magic attack came from the mansion . The magic attack came from the mansion came out of the blue flying straight toward my direction . I knocked it down . Ice arrow came from the mansion .

“Amazing, it looks like a fortress now . ”

Somehow it has become fun, and I’ve become exited .
