Episode 14. Magic
Even in countries where history is not studied, there is a person who immediately comes to mind when talking about the magic of life.
‘Harleydenson’
Life magic was magic that was mainly used for attacks and was created to raise people’s standard of living.
It wasn’t until I entered Harley Denson’s memories and gained his powers that I realized.
“It’s a dud.”
If you can’t use mana, there’s no way to learn life magic.

-Tiring!
『《A: Knowledge of Life》
Effect: You have complete knowledge of life magic.
“For an A-class, this isn’t a very good ability for me.”
The rating itself was high in recognition of his contributions to enriching the lives of countless people, but that was all.
“Status Window”
-Tiring!
『[Status Window]
Name: Locke Ron Widia Age: 14
Status: “Mana-incapable body”, “G: Marching spirit”, “S: Super intuition”, “C: Math prodigy”, “A: Strategic genius”
Tendency: “F: Childlike Courage”, “D: Kitchen Charisma”, “G: Fool’s Sigh”, “B: Living to the Heavens”, “G: Janitor’s Effort”

Skill: 【Draw a hero】 【Save ability】 【Hero’s essence】 Number of cards: 0』
“Hmm… … .”
First, I filled up all the status window cells.
Some were useless, and some were high-grade but unnecessary.
The ability to become friendly with animals, “Animal Communication”, doesn’t suit me, so I put on “Knowledge of Life”.
“Will this ever be useful?”
Life magic was not a very popular magic even on the planet Haytons.
Mainly making glowing balls, making cold refrigerators, making hot furnaces, etc.
Harley-Denson’s ability was to literally create the necessities of life.
‘By the way, isn’t that surprising?’
I didn’t know much about Harley-Davidson, but there was something surprising about his memories.
‘Harley Denson was also a mana-impaired being.’
Harley Denson, who has a body of a non-mana spirit, created life magic through countless trials with a ‘magic stone’ for his mother who takes care of him.
‘It started out as a magic stone… … .’
The strategy board artifact that Camelson brought could only be operated by those with mana.
However, Harleydenson was the first to create an ‘artifact’ using only magic stones, allowing those without magic to use it as well.
‘A battery?’
‘I guess so.’
Harleydenson created several artifacts for his convenience, but they were so expensive that even the nobility could not afford them.
That’s why people have been recreating artifacts based on Harley-Denson’s technology.
So that only those with mana can use it instead of magic stones.
“Let’s go to sleep.”
-Tiring!
[I’m sleepy.]

I was dumbfounded by the sight that unfolded as soon as I woke up.
“Are you awake?”
“Hehehehe. You still haven’t come to your senses.”
“… … .”
Vera and Collorence, the etiquette tutors, stood alongside Tesrun.
‘… … .’
What on earth is a maid to the King of Heroes?
“Then… … . Let’s get started right away.”
Berah took out the gruesome wooden stick he had seen yesterday from his bag.
At that sight, Tesrun approached me, who had just gotten up from my seat, with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Duke Aizen… has invited you to dinner.”
“… … Tesrun, have I become much more comfortable? That joke is too much.”
“This is not a joke.”
“… … .”
I could tell that this wasn’t a joke because Tesrun had such a serious expression on his face.
-Whew!

Vera, who was standing next to me, flicked a wooden stick against her palm and said.
“I heard that this is your first time meeting the Duke. When you meet the Duke, I, Vera, will teach you with all my heart so that you will not tolerate even a single mistake.”
“… … .”
***
This was the class I was most afraid of because I had never learned anything about etiquette before, but Berah’s etiquette education was much easier than I thought.
“It’s amazing… … .”
There were still many awkward parts, but even considering that, Vera’s face was filled with surprise.
‘I thought it would be the most difficult… … .’
It wasn’t as difficult as I thought because I only learned how to hold a pose.
The reason why etiquette education, which should be taught from the time children can walk, was not difficult was because of my ability.
Of course, I haven’t learned all the etiquette yet.
There are still mountains of things that a nobleman has yet to learn, including the 35 dances and gaits that he must learn first, how to write with dignity, how to sit, and how to stand normally.
All I’ve learned so far is table manners.
There were some things that were relatively easy to learn because I had carefully observed the eating etiquette of a fallen nobleman I had met during my time as a mercenary and found it fascinating.
“I think this will be enough. I thought it would be about 6 hours of training… … Hmm. I didn’t think it would end in just 1 hour.”
At those words, Colonel, who had been quietly watching my training from the side, said:
“So is it over now?”
“Yes. I think we’ll have to coordinate the rest after class.”
“Then it’s my turn now.”
“……what?”
“Why are you acting like a child? Swordsmanship is something that you have to practice all the time. If you skip even one day, you’ll lose muscle.”
There was no way that the voice of the King of Heroes could be heard by Colonel.
It’s a bit more embarrassing than that.
“Okay. Follow me. What will you do, Your Majesty?”
“I will follow along. There are still many shortcomings, so I plan to watch from the side and slowly correct them.”
“… … .”
Colorado took us outside.
‘Where are you going?’
I thought he would just go to the training ground, but even after arriving at the training ground, Colorado’s feet did not stop.
Rather, I even tried to get out of the area I was trapped in.
“Where are you going?”
Tesrun blocked the path of such a colonel.
“I think I need to go outside for my master’s training.”
‘You’re going out… …?’
From the moment I set foot in this duke’s house, I have never left it.
It was the same in the future.
Because Hals and the Duke were so afraid that they fled from the Duchy, they only stayed there for a day at most, and most of that time they were in hiding.
Well… … . No one came looking for me though.
“If it’s a training ground, I made it just as Sir Colonel said yesterday?”
“Hehehehe… … If you want to properly learn the Spirit Breaker that you have learned, it is not enough to just go to the training ground.”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back on time.”
“… … Even if Sir Colonel is like that, why is Vera-nim going out with you?”
“I told you, didn’t I? I will provide training by your side from morning, noon, and night.”
Tesrun looked at me for a long time and then muttered.
“I think it’ll be okay since the master is always out… … .”
‘I……?’
Have you never been outside before?
‘No way… did I misunderstand that?’
Did I misunderstand the reason why I was able to gain knowledge I didn’t know?
I couldn’t help but laugh as I imagined Tesrun agonizing over the decision on his own.
It was understandable to think so.
When I was talking about a language book that I had never read at the Duke’s house, I thought, “Oh no.”
At this point, I can’t help but think that I have knowledge that I can’t acquire.
‘… … Yes, let’s think that way. This is a good opportunity for me too. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to use this opportunity to familiarize myself with the terrain of the dukedom.’
In the past, I didn’t have time to look at the terrain because I was so busy getting out of the dukedom, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check it out now.
“Hoo… … . It’s a secret from the Duke.”
“Hehehe, don’t worry about that. I heard there’s a dinner party tonight, so I’ll make sure to get there by then.”
It was my first time experiencing the ‘outside’ after returning.
***
The duchy is reputed to be the wealthiest and most beautiful city in the empire after the capital.
“There is no worry on the faces of the people, and the town is always clean, perhaps because it is cleaned. In addition, beautiful sculptures and food attract people’s attention… … It is a really great city.”
“… … .”
“haha…….”
Even though Colorado spoke to me as I blankly stared at the city, I couldn’t respond to him.
‘……beautiful.’
The liveliness and laughter of the people were hard to hear even while traveling the continent.
This also meant that people under the dukedom were safe from crime and away from the threat of monsters.
“young master?”
“… … .”
“young master?”
“Hmm? Oh… … . Hmm. Sorry. I got distracted for a moment.”
“Haha, no. Come this way.”
Colorado took me somewhere.
Since I was the youngest and unknown in the duke’s family, no one knew my face, so I didn’t hide it.
“Straighten your back and hold your head up high.”
“……okay.”
I guess it wasn’t when Vera was looking.
Whenever I walked and my posture was even slightly off, she would immediately swing a wooden stick at me to correct my posture.
“You have to walk with confidence. If you keep walking like that, there’s a high chance that you’ll walk with a figure-eight gait when you grow up.”
“Ah. That’s right, Ms. Bertha. If you walk with your feet flat, there’s a high chance that your soles will flatten. Then it’ll be hard to walk or run for a long time.”
“Put your heels on the floor and walk with your feet pointed outward. It’s better to balance by putting pressure on your big toes.”
“… … .”
I followed Colorado while listening to Vera’s constant nagging from the side.
After walking for about 30 minutes, Colorado brought me to an unexpected place.
“cartel?”
“They say it’s a duel arena, but this place is no different from an arena.”
This is a dueling arena that was created long ago to suppress the troubles of proud knights trying to win over women.
“At first it was a fighting ground for knights to protect their pride, then it became a prison for criminals who had learned martial arts, and now it is an arena for martial artists who come to make money.”
“……no way.”
“I told you, Spirit Break is so hard that it breaks your soul. One of the reasons is the physical training.”
“… … .”
“Come here and train your body.”
I looked at the entrance to the arena without saying anything.
