Glory to Earth Magic

Oh no, my stockpile has run out… welp, schedules out the door then.

(AN: Time for an explanation about magic.)

Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

The day after my first meeting with my cla.s.smates. I take a meal with Jonando just like yesterday and go to school with Yatsufusa. Oh yeah, Yatsufusa apologized with tremendous force on the way home yesterday, but I told him not to mind it because I originally did not care. Well…… he apologized with the expression of an abandoned puppy. I think he should have a little more confidence in himself.

The next day when I enter the cla.s.sroom with Yatsufusa, the cla.s.sroom fell silent making it a little awkward, their lines of sight were all directed towards us.
Well, yesterday was yesterday so it’s done. I go to my seat without a worry, I see a large amount of soil placed on my desk.
I have a good guess who the culprits were because three people started laughing when they saw the scene. Their appearances were all around the age of 10 so we weren’t that different. I should not think that n.o.bles will discriminate against only commoners since the basis of identification for them is being inferior. My situation should be fear of retaliation.
There are some older people in the cla.s.sroom that see this but just looks with indifference. I would not want to thrust a stick into the neck of trouble due to discrimination.
The children who were bullying had been calm so it’s possible they have a higher status than me. Even from these points, I have no doubt it’s that threesome.

They would wonder if I would cry or get angry if I were a normal 9-year-old, but unfortunately, I am the oldest in this cla.s.sroom. I’m not so narrow-minded to have anger in my heart. I was famous for my broad mind during this life. Something like Lake Biwa. 

(Aldi.)

I talk to Aldi who was in the bag which was already a fixed position. Aldi exits the doll body and enters the soil on the desk.
The soil beings to move and forms into a deformed doll of around 60-70cm then started hopping around.
Looking at my situation, the three main culprits who had been looking forward to my reaction had been surprised, the other cla.s.smates also buzzed.
Well, it is a surprise if a 9-year-old child started to handle such a thing without chanting and doing such a trick. Though, it’s not something I did!

This is something that I heard from Aldi before I woke up from my coma, I used no magic, now that I woke up from it, my magic increased and now there’s a surplus so she said by telepathy earlier.
The soil doll containing Aldi jumped down onto the ground and approached the window with a ⌈totetote⌋, it jumped up the window and skillfully opens it then goes out of it landing on the soil, leaving the soil doll back to my bag, the white light was invisible to others .

Since I told Aldi to gather up all the soil that was on the desk, I sit down quite pleased with the cleanliness.

“Oh, Alba-kun. You’re amazing to use no chant even though you’re only 9-years-old.“

Yatsufusa says such a thing because he did not notice Aldi, so I answer it humbly so I don’t stand out too much.
Actually, at first, I wanted to improve the position of the earth attribute without attracting attention to myself, but since I knew from experience, I did that earlier so it would show that you shouldn’t do as you like and be adverse.
In fact, the 3 main culprits had a boring-ish look. For a while, there is attention on them.
The teacher came in when the bell rang and the HR began. There is not particularly new information on the HR so finally, the first cla.s.s ended without a hitch.
In the morning was general math cla.s.s, there had been simple letters and dictation with addition and subtraction. The manner of calculation was a cinch for me since it was no different from Earth and familiar. Well, this is dangerous but I don’t want to think about it if it were to become high school level math.

After finishing the cla.s.ses in the morning and the cla.s.ses in the afternoon, the lunch begins in the cafeteria without any problem. I think it’s strange that those three people didn’t try anything else since the morning incident, but I want to think they gave up.
By the way, there is a break time between cla.s.ses, but I did not speak to anyone else besides Yatsufusa since I was given the eye of a n.o.ble in the morning.
When I was with Yatsufusa, I said that it was dangerous……

“I’m not a best friend if I don’t help the best friend in times of trouble!”

He said it with strong words and a face of resolution since there was also the matter of yesterday. Well, it’s okay if it’s me but if they put a hand on my acquaintance’s or Yatsufusa they wouldn’t get away with it. I may not win with magic, but there are a number of cards to get revenge with my hands.
Well, I don’t really want to believe such a thing since I actually want to get along with my cla.s.smates.

Like that, cla.s.ses in the afternoon begun. Elective cla.s.ses are still not available so at first, it seems it’s going to be a lesson about the knowledge of magic. Middle-aged men are doing the explanation while writing on the blackboard.

“Well, the first thing to know is that magic has an attribute you know?”

These are the attributes I’m familiar with, flame(fire), ice(water), wind(thunder), earth(ground), light, darkness, and nothingness. I thought wind and thunder were different things, but I do not mind as they are treated as the same attribute in some games.

“The basic thing the const.i.tutes this world are the 4 elements flame, ice, wind, and earth, there no more than 4 element attributes, there is training to get acquired attributes while still having the inherent attribute  so the three of the four elements are spread all over the world.”

The cla.s.s wants to stop every time the word earth was mentioned. Because malice isn’t felt, it’s good for the time being, but it’s a little annoying.

“Light is said to be only obtained by mainly pious people. It’s said chief G.o.d Akiri-sama is closest to this attribute and has strong attack magic, not to mention it’s recovery magic.“

Oh, well since the holy attribute and the light attribute are strong, in a holy image it’s convincing.

“Then there is the darkness attribute, it’s said to be the closest to Asmodian. You can manipulate the dead…… gravity…… also curses and change shadows into weapons. This attribute is inferior in its image, but it has high power and a gloomy image unlike the rugged earth, so it’s popular in its own way.”

This is a thought from before, but I think the that the temperament of the inhabitants of this is that it’s good to be flashy kind. Well, it’s different since they can actually use magic, but the idea is very similar. Earth may be a little convincing, but it’s still not popular.
It’s because the earth is quiet and has a modest power if you think of it alone, but thoughts have a factor in it since there are no high magic spells for it so it’s hated.
Well, I don’t know if it’s correct since it’s only my opinion.

“And the last one is non-attribute, it’s said to have the most delicate position in a sense.”

Oh, is that so. I wonder why. I’m a little anxious about it since that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Armando didn’t teach me in detail about it.

“Non-attribute is an attribute where you can use different types of magic. For example, summoning magic where you can use the strength from another world…… or you can attract presences of attributes that are present to used yourself. To say what kind of world that place is, it has not been shown what sort of changes that world has undergone, but it has been proven that development in this world exists.”

So there’s summoning magic too. With that attribute, I would need to examine it later. Hopefully, it could be used to improve the earth.
A different world existing is recognized normally…… would you bring the same attribute as yourself from the other world. It may be something amazing. But there are…… times where there’s not enough magic.

“Non-attribute can summon without attribute relation. In the past, there had been a summoner who had fought with the false G.o.d that plunged the world into a crisis. The summoner is one of the five heroes in the story.”

Five heroes are also something I read in a book. The contents are common with a false G.o.d in a royal road type fantasy setting that is trying to destroy the world a long time ago then is defeated by five heroes.
Now the demons or Admodian that exists all over the world is said to be born from the false G.o.d. Well, let’s talk about it later if there’s an opportunity since it’s unrelated right now.

“They are the capabilities, it is talent called a “hit”, the non-attribute also has an ability call “loss”. It is like a magic that can only be used on himself and not interfere others. An easy-to-understand example I think is the improvement of physical ability. Well, losing such a magic “exception” exists, but it is less popular, the exception will be something you will understand one day.”

I was somehow anxious about the exception, but I knew that non-attribute gamble characteristic is strong. I think I shouldn’t be so pessimistic about the earth attribute. If it was my bad head from the past, I might have picked the non-attribute because of the versatility and physical ability improvement.
The cla.s.s about the basic knowledge of magic advances, it was then talking about spells.

“Spells put magic into your words. The words of the spell must be meaningful. In magic, there is also no-chant where a skilled person discards chanting and still activates it.”

It seems something like the soul of language (EN: or Power of words). In a book I read about the sounds and words, it would drive away souls and spirits to cleanse the place. An example could be when a Shinto priest claps his hands lightly. This is a festival and celebrations to rid of demons, I think it also spread to the west being performed.
Huh, I wonder if I put my hands together and chanted a spell and put in more magic power then the power would go up. This also requires verification.

“If you were to use no-chant in a fight, it would take a significant amount of time away from chanting, but the power falls. When you fight a dragon, etc. In terms of easy-to-understand large monsters …… you can use no-chant or ask to be protected so you can chant so you can handle the magic better.”

Sensei continued the description while writing on the blackboard.

“In addition, if you manipulate things that are already existing, you can handle it , but you will be able to handle it more efficiently with a chant. For example, there is a fire burning here, just 〈〈Flame, burn bright and abide my thoughts〉〉 than I can manipulate it with that chant having a sufficient feeling.”

Haa, I see. Yes, that’s a good thing to give a try, I should chant because I have always handled soil without chanting.

“For chants, you’ll have long ones for an advanced spell, but shorter for beginner spell. Now being studied here are a variety of chants which is being fixed. There is a skill to change it on your own, there are a variety of ways to shorten or change the chant statement. The point is that you can make your own magic if you can deal with it. In face, magic masters have 1 or 2 magics they have not published.”

Hmm, unexpectedly I seem to be able to make magic easily. I was wondering what necessary formula I would need to research with little difficulty.

“However, magic will break if the words are no meaningful enough. For example, you can chant 〈〈freezing arrow activate and hit the enemy〉〉 or 〈〈Fire Arrow〉〉, but it will not activate. Of course, magic will not activate even if the conditions are met if it will destroy the world. This is said to be a limit by chief G.o.d Akiri to protect the world he created himself.”

After that, I received the lesson seriously while secretly being impressed by the knowledge of magic I’m hearing for the first time.

(AN: I said a girl would come out. That was a lie.
It’s different. There were a surprising amount of letters when I put out an explanation that was not issued until now.)

This chapter almost murdered me.
