Concept Grasping Magic Genius Episode 23
Even in the Fireball spell, there are parts that are unnecessary to Rowan.
It may be possible to pursue a more efficient method, even with one’s limited magical power.
When the thought occurred to him, Rowan did not hesitate and immediately put it into action.
‘For now, let’s just keep the fireball and the caster’s mana sensitivity formula. Initial speed, launch angle, and movement angle are unnecessary. We need to consider air and mana resistance… … .’
Rowan dismantled and reconstructed the ritual.
The content I was thinking about was immediately written down in my head and then erased repeatedly.
I wrote down a process, ran it virtually, and if the expected results were wrong, I went back and modified the variables.
Ever since I understood the Fire Arrow spell, my heart’s mana, which had been blazing, continued to spin without rest, and my head also became hotter.
My eyes felt like they were going to pop out and I also felt dizzy from time to time.
Even while running it virtually, my whole body ached as if I had been beaten.
‘It’s okay. You can do it.’
He was the one who sat on the cold floor all day long, exploring mana.
A persistent and excessive concentration combined with a talent for understanding and mastering principles.
This is nothing. It’s so much fun that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed.
Even as dawn approached, Roan did not stop.
“It’s almost done now.”
Finally, after completing the spell, he composed it into a magic circle made of lines and spaces, and then transformed it into a chant using the correct words.
Eventually, even that becomes unnecessary, with only intuition, sense, and will.
Hwaruruk-
Only after I conjured up a fist-sized ball of flame in the air.
Rowan fell to the floor, clutching his head, which was hotter than a fireball.
* * *
The door that had not been open for two days was opened very carefully.
The big boy who entered the room was very surprised to find Rowan lying on the floor.
“What, why are you sleeping here?”
A husky voice, as if puberty had begun.
But Rowan didn’t respond at all.
The boy tapped the rope with the tip of his foot. When there was no response, he pressed his body against the floor.
“Weren’t you sleeping? Are you sick?”
The boy put his hand on Rowan’s head and was startled again by the hot heat.
The boy who had been checking for breathing by placing his fingertips under Roan’s nose now actively placed his ear on Roan’s chest and checked for his heartbeat.
Fortunately, I could hear the sound of my heartbeat very clearly through my sweaty, damp shirt.
Right away.
The boy picked up Rowan and started running towards the dormitory infirmary after kicking the door open.
“Oh no, I’m screwed. My father killed me.”
A while later, the mumbling boy handed Roan over to the infirmary.
A number of people came into the infirmary one after another, each reporting something.
It was unusual given the early hour, and even stranger when you look at the faces of those who came in.
“I thought it was okay because he didn’t show it, but looking back, it was quite a difficult forced march for a child. I also had to sleep out for a long time. I should have moved around a little more leisurely…”
“It wasn’t Sienna’s fault. It was the management’s mistake. I thought we had fully assessed her condition, but we didn’t take proper action. No, maybe it was a mistake to question her as soon as we arrived. In any case, she was a child… ”
“It’s my fault as the head of the academic affairs department. I should have encouraged him more and given him more warning when I was making the schedule. He was a very talented and trustworthy kid, so I guess I just gave him a lot of unnecessary expectations…”
“I feel heavy-hearted because I think I pushed myself too hard from the very first time we met. I even made you practice swordsmanship in addition to running. It seemed like there was potential, so I just did it without realizing it. Was I the one who lost my composure……”
“It seems you’ve been looking at an ancient dictionary until late. I gave you the book too early and gave you useless homework. You had a strange curiosity, but you struggled with a book that was difficult to understand. It’s my fault for not being able to figure it out…”
They have been blaming themselves for their mistakes for a long time.
It was like a fight.
They even insisted that Roan’s future from today be left to them, as if the fault was theirs and they should take responsibility for it.
at last.
“No, I’m just tired. You guys should go back now.”
Unable to handle the teacher’s anger, they looked at Rowan’s face with regret for a while before finally leaving.
after.
After a long time of soft wind blowing through the cracks in the window.
“Hmm…….”
Rowan, who had not woken up even in the midst of the commotion, finally opened his eyes much later that afternoon.
Then I tilted my head at the unfamiliar ceiling and unfamiliar bed.
A boy I had never seen before was sitting on a chair next to the bed, snoring and dozing off.
Rowan gently supported the boy’s head as he was about to fall forward, and the feeling woke the boy up.
“Huh? Are you awake? Are you okay? Are you okay?”
The boy looked around Rowan excitedly, and eventually hugged Rowan with tears in his eyes.
Rowan asked, pushing her away slightly.
“who?”
The boy answered, patting Rowan on the shoulder.
“Lucas von Passau. Your classmate.”
“ah…….”
“I can’t tell you how surprised I was when I sneaked out of school and found you passed out. I wonder what my father would do if he found out. Oh my.”
Lucas looked up at the ceiling for a moment and let out a long sigh.
“I fell?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. He said he just overdid it. It’ll be fine after he rests a bit.”

“ah…….”
Rowan still couldn’t shake off his suspicious eyes.
Lucas continued, realizing that his explanation was inadequate.
“I was asked by my father to take good care of you.”
“Who is your father?”
“Oskar von Passau. Vice-Chairman of the Faith Committee.”
“ah…….”
A benefactor who raided the relief center, rescued Rowan and the children, and sent them to Union.
“Well, since many people already know, I can’t keep it a secret. Later, make sure to tell them that I carried you to the infirmary and took care of you all night.”
I couldn’t remember at all how I ended up falling.
All I could say was that my head was extremely hot and I felt excruciating pain all over my body.
Anyway, after listening to Lucas and examining his clear mana, it doesn’t seem like a lie.
I have been blessed again by my benefactor’s son.
Rowan bowed his head with deep gratitude.
“Okay, I’ll do that. Thank you very much.”
“But you’re more approachable than you look. You talk comfortably even after seeing my face.”
“why?”
“Don’t you look a little old?
It does give the impression of being a bit thick and blunt.
“okay?”
“Yeah. I’m twelve.”
“You entered school late?”
“No. I failed twice because I didn’t meet the attendance requirement.”
“…….”
“Oh, well, there’s no guarantee that I’ll get promoted just because I showed up. I hate studying and I’m not good at it.”
Lucas shook his head from side to side, pouting as if it was no big deal.
It’s as if he’s making fun of the world or the school itself.
“It’s better than I expected.”
“Huh? As expected.”
“I overheard it from someone.”
Sophie once described Lucas as a problem child.
Lucas looked indifferent.
“Who… Well, it wasn’t a good story.”
“…….”
“Well, that’s okay. It doesn’t matter what other people say about me. As long as I’m honest with myself.”
“…….”
Rowan didn’t know where to feel ashamed of saying things like he didn’t show up, that he didn’t like studying, and that he wouldn’t have done well even if he had.
Lucas said.
“By the way, did you really collapse while studying? I heard you said you were going to learn magic.”
“huh.”
“Well, that’s a bit unfortunate. If it’s swordsmanship, we could practice together, and I could watch over you from a little closer.”
Lucas is also interested in swordsmanship.
In fact, it is quite natural.
Since your father is the vice-captain of the Faith, he will have swordsmanship and vision passed down from his family.
Indeed, it seemed like he had been grooming himself well since childhood.
The concentration of mana was extremely strong and the light was pure. He was so tall and thick that it seemed as if his twelve year old age was actually a lie.
Although it may have been innate, Rowan knew how hard he had to train to achieve such results.
It didn’t seem like a lie to say that I trained so hard that I skipped class.
Rowan said.
“But… it’s probably too late to go to school now, right?”
“Where are you going? You fell asleep while studying.”
Looking at Lucas’s determined attitude, it seems like that was too much.
No matter how tired I was, lying down for hours without waking up was not something I could just ignore.
It seems like there’s still some heat left in my head.
“Then how about getting some fresh air? My head is still hot.”
“Well, that could be true. That’s why I skip class too.”
“Yes…….”
“On a day like today, it’s nice to relax by breathing in some fresh air and eating something delicious. Let’s go.”
Rowan was dragged out of the school by Lucas and walked down the alley.
After a few winding blocks, we arrived at the first commercial area within Union.
Higher than the school.
The air was quite cool heading into the evening, and I felt like my head was clearing up.
“Okay, eat.”
Rowan looked around while eating the sausage wrapped in bread that Lucas had handed him.
It was quieter and less lively than the civilian commercial area outside the Union, but there were shops that caught Rowan’s eye that he could not see from the outside.
“I want to go and take a look over there.”
The place Roan pointed to was a magic shop.
Lucas shrugged and took the lead in opening the door.
The inside of the store was very quiet and had a peaceful atmosphere.
A bookshelf filled with old books, decorative objects whose purpose is unclear, and a display case with accessories of various sizes.
Roan was momentarily bewildered by the intense mana light contained in each item.
But Rowan had a big problem when it came to buying things that aroused his curiosity.
‘I don’t have money.’
The money he earned at the orphanage was only used as a tool to gain recognition for Rowan’s talents.
Anyway, it would have been nice if that had been recognized as Rowan’s property and brought back.
Lucas patted Rowan on the shoulder and said, looking at him with a pout.
“What is it? If there’s anything you want, just tell me. I told you to look after me, so that must have been included.”
Rowan answered with his eyes wide open.
“Can I buy everything here?”
“…Not to that extent.”
“Then to what extent?”
“Just pick one. If you pick something like a book, you’ll probably read it for months.”
“…….”
When I actually looked at it, I saw that there wasn’t much money in Lucas’ palm.
If you think about it, when you go fishing, it only takes half a day to collect them.
Anyway, Rowan, who didn’t have any money, had no choice but to consider the price of the item considering Lucas’ circumstances.
What he had chosen was a very old-looking, palm-sized, oval-shaped black stone that had been shoved into the innermost corner under the display case.
Even though it has a high concentration of mana, the price is quite cheap.
‘Perhaps it’s because the water is too turbid.’
I thought so, but the store owner’s reaction was funny.
“You chose the Goetia Stone. I forgot that it was in our house. You probably didn’t know what it was when you chose it.”
“The Stone of Goetia? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
She glanced at Lucas, but he just blinked, not knowing what was going on.
The owner looked at the two children in turn, then ran his fingers through his neatly trimmed mustache and burst into a mischievous laugh.
“Haha. Yeah, I guess you knew that and chose it.”
“What is this used for?”
“It’s just for decoration. You can be sure that it will never wake up.”
“Are you awake?”
Rowan tilted his head, holding the black stone.
No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see any trace of anything.
