The Reincarnated Archmage’s Journey Chapter 5

Episode 5.

training

The thoughts continued.

Kiena, hey.

They are the only two friends of Artel, the original owner of this body, and they are close friends who came up together from the orphanage in the lower world.

I felt uneasy about leaving those two students behind and going up alone.

The three of them are truly one in a relationship.

No, let's think about it differently.

"Should I try raising these two students? How about making them my staunch followers?"

I was a great wizard in my previous life.

I thought that if I received guidance from someone like that, I would be able to reach a certain level even if I had no talent.

The reason I came to think this way is very simple.

It's because of Etar and Tyrant.

Tyrant will surely try to kill me if he finds out I've been resurrected, but I don't know what kind of wizard Etar is now.

Will he try to kill me like Tyrant when he comes back to life, or will he welcome it happily?

Because I wasn't sure, I had to act under the assumption that Etar would kill me.

If Etar had such a plan and I was in the 6th circle and my identity was discovered, Etar would most likely try to kill me.

So, if I have a subordinate who follows me, it will be easier to deal with him.

Even if he was my disciple, it is impossible to know how much he would have grown since it was 300 years ago.

And all the teachers in this school are Etar's subordinates.

Even for me, dealing with multiple high-circle wizards at the same time can be overwhelming.

So, I need my own force to prepare for any eventuality.

Kiena and Heyra were close friends with Artel, so they seemed like students who would step up if they were in danger.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

It is clear that climbing together is more helpful than climbing alone in any situation.

Even though Etar retains his personality from 300 years ago, his final enemies are Tyrant and Cylard.

I believed that it would not be a bad choice to develop these two students from now on.

"You guys are lucky. You're learning magic directly from the Archmage."

Having decided that, I headed to the library.

Strangely enough, the pain that had been stabbing my chest completely disappeared when I thought about raising two children.

First of all, since these students were in their fifth year and still didn't know whether they were elementals or summoners, we had to lay the foundation for them.

I know a great book to lay that foundation.

At least for the basic level, it would be much faster to just look at the book than for me to teach it myself.

***

A library with 10 tiers of bookshelves lined up at regular intervals.

I started looking around the spacious library, looking for books.

Elemental Guide

The Wizard's Guide

A Guide for Beginners

The Difference Between an Elementalist and a Summoner

How to Find Elements Easily

Understanding the Elements

As expected from a 0-class library, which is considered an introductory level, most of the books were very basic.

But since it wasn't the book I was looking for, I didn't even look at it.

By the way, I can't find the book I'm looking for even though I've been looking for it for quite some time.

“It’s strange. That book isn’t some forbidden magic book, nor is it so rare that it’s hard to find….”

I had no choice but to use Mob to search for books.

“《Introductory Guide》.”

This is the title of the book I'm looking for.

But Mob kept saying 'searching' for a while and then asked a rather unexpected question.

-Are you sure you searched for the "Beginner's Guide"?

“……?”

Did Mob originally ask this question again?

I don't think it was like that… … ?

I guess I'm remembering it wrong.

The development period for Mob was shortly after I became Master's disciple.

Mobs are purely for magic school students.

So, at that time, I didn't have much use for mobs, so I only knew very simple operating methods.

Because I was a disciple of the great wizard, I had no reason to study at school.

Separately, my teacher never taught me anything like how to make mobs.

Mob asked a new question.

-What is the name of the author of the book you are looking for?

“Alaize Petra.”

After a long while of 'Searching', Mob finally told me where the book was.

“……I found it.”

《Introductory Guide》

Author: Alize Petra

It was a book that seemed to have been abandoned and tucked away in a corner of the deepest bookshelf in the library, on the tenth floor, the top shelf that a young student could not easily climb.

There were ladders on other bookshelves, but the one with this book on it didn't even have a ladder, as if telling me not to look.

This was the location of the book Mob had told me about.

It had not been touched for so long that all the books on the shelf where this book was located were covered in dust.

If you press your finger on the dust, your fingerprint will be left behind.

The author of the book, Alize Petra.

He is my teacher.

I carefully climbed down the ladder, holding the book in my arms.

So I returned to the dorm with the book.

Then I put the book containing the Master's knowledge on the desk and lay down on the bed.

'Oh, I'm looking forward to it?'

It's been a long time since I've taught someone.

My heart started pounding for no reason.

***

The next day, I contacted the two students from Mobro, and we gathered in the school garden.

Since there was no separate training facility, this was the only place to train.

“What’s going on, why are you calling us all here all of a sudden?”

Hey, still half asleep, rubbed his eyes and asked.

“What’s that old book, Artel?”

Kiena's gaze was drawn exclusively to the book.

“Let’s train during the vacation.”

I immediately said to the two students.

Both of them shared a puzzled expression. But Kiena's expression soon brightened and she asked.

“Training?”

"If we don't know whether we're elementals or summoners by the end of this winter, we'll be expelled. So we'll train to find out."

I have to train these two while hiding my identity as much as possible.

If I, who was usually not diligent, suddenly showed that I was knowledgeable about magic, it would definitely feel awkward.

“I found a good book while I was browsing through the library yesterday.”

So I opened the book.

“《Introductory Guide》? This is the first time I’ve seen this book.”

Kiena glanced at the cover of the book and said.

Then Hey looked at me with a questioning expression.

“Where did you get the idea for a book that Kiena, who goes to the library every day, has never seen before?”

This female student named Kiena seemed to be a student who always studied hard.

A student who pours his heart into his studies.

It's the exact opposite of Artel.

But after five years of being on this introductory level, it felt like I hadn't really gotten that deep.

All the books I needed were listed in the area closest to the library entrance, so I guess I didn't even think about going in.

But does that really mean that you never looked up this book during your five years of student life?

Moreover, it's a book that even Kiena, who goes to the library every day, doesn't know.

This book I brought from the library is not that precious.

It was a widely used and useful book in the past, to the point where it was used as a textbook for beginners.

Could it be that, since 300 years have already passed, it is in danger of disappearing into history?

300 years is a long time, so it wouldn't be surprising if a book more effective than the one my teacher wrote came out.

But since other books don't know me at all and I'm not sure how helpful they'll be, I chose this one.

So, there was a need to surround it appropriately.

Unlike the two students in front of me, my memory stopped 300 years ago.

“I saw it in a book. If you look at this book, you’ll be able to easily find the elements.”

“Was there such a book…?”

Kiena seemed puzzled when she heard my answer, but I didn't bother to answer.

"Look, Kiena. I actually found this book last night and tried to follow it exactly."

I guess it's my turn to step up this time.

I closed my eyes like that, spread my palms wide, and raised them to chest height.

Sararararak.

A breeze blew through the tranquil garden, causing the grass to sway from side to side.

And then I opened my eyes.

"We've reached this point. We haven't found the element yet, but isn't this a significant achievement?"

"really……?"

The two students had shocked eyes.

In fact, the magic just now was just a little bit of wind element.

A gentle breeze created without being tangible enough to be visible.

Artel was a lazy student who slept all day, so he might think it was strange if he succeeded in materializing it overnight.

I gave them both a look.

How about it, the lazy Artel you all know has become this good in just one day. Doesn't it make you want to read a book now?

“It’s all thanks to that book…?”

Hey asked.

Of course, I can't refuse.

"huh."

And as soon as I gave my answer, the two of them snatched the book away as if they were stealing it from me and focused on it.

'success.'

Motivation is enough.

Okay, now I'll just sit back and watch the situation.

“A bird is sitting and resting on a tree. Do you see the bird or the tree?”

Kiena read the contents of the book.

That's a question about whether it's an elemental or a summoner.

Okay, concentrate as much as you can.

It will be on a different level from the classes you have been taking so far.

“I am a bird.”

Kiena's personality is closer to that of a summoner.

“I am a tree!”

Hey, it must be the original text.

Kiena read the following question:

“What is your favorite color when you look at trees?”

Each element has its own color.

There is a close relationship between your favorite color and the element you will be working with, so this question is designed to help you guess.

“I like black.”

My expression hardened at the words that came out of Hey's mouth.

Why did it have to be black?

It's the color I hate the most in the world.

Silard, Tyrant.

Because these two guys have the same color.

'There is a high probability that it is a dark elemental warrior… … .'

It wasn't confirmed, but I couldn't ignore it.

"Imagine you're watching a bird and calling it. You can practice by looking at a real bird, or you can use a model or drawing of a bird."

This is an instruction for Kiena, who is expected to be a summoner.

"Hmm, I see. I definitely get the feeling. Wow, there's a book like this? It's so easy to understand."

As expected, he is a student who studies hard.

Kiena was not only interested in books, she also understood them well.

"I always had trouble understanding things in class, so I'd go to the teacher. But this is so easy to understand."

"Definitely. Since there's no mention of magic, fairy tales, or realization, I think it's easy for me to understand."

Heydo didn't seem like a student who slacks off on his studies.

Since it is a book tailored to the students' level, the effect is immediate.

“Okay, then let’s begin.”

Both of you have decided on your path, so now it's time to walk.

“Could Artel be a wind element?”

Hey asked.

"I don't know either. Come on, let's practice together. The vacation is long anyway."

It wasn't important, so we just skipped over it and focused on training.

About 30 minutes later.

Jack-!

The sound of birds chirping echoed through the quiet garden.

'Hey, no way.'

Kiena has already been successfully summoned?

And that too in 30 minutes?

Of course, it is possible since I studied hard in my fifth year of college, but it is still too early.

The period I originally expected was about two weeks.

'No, I guess not.'

And the moment I saw Kiena, this time I was shocked.

“Artel… this book is really great!”

A brightly shining sphere.

Jack-!

Although there is no bird shape, the sphere is clearly making a bird sound.

'This is unexpected.'

The progress is so fast that it's embarrassing.
