Reincarnated Aristocrat Chapter 12 Overwhelming talent
"Well, let's use magic." (Ars)
When we arrived at the plains, we confirmed that there were no people around us and gave Charlotte the tools to use magic.
Magic water and a catalyst engine.
Magic water is contained in a canister made of leather.
The catalyst engine looks like a sphere that is about the size of a baseball ball, with a lot of unreadable mysterious characters.
It has a chain and is placed around the neck.
Ritsu first put magic water in the catalyst engine.
The catalyst engine had a lid, which Ritsu opened. Then poured the magic water from the canister into it. The murky liquid flows into the catalyst engine. Only a small amount can be added.
Once you use magic, all the magic water in it disappears. Therefore, it is impossible to fire continuously.
"Hang this around your neck." (Ritsu)
Ritsu gave Charlotte the catalyst machine that was poured with magical water.
She takes it and hangs it around as she was told.
"I have it on, how do you use it?" (Charlotte)
"You can use it by casting a spell while having it around on your neck. The poured magic water is the magic water of fire, so you can use fire attribute magic." (Ritsu)
"What? There are various kinds of magic water?" (Ars)
I have only seen red magic water. Is there another kind?
"Yes, there are. There are various colors such as blue and green." (Ritsu)
"What happens if the colors are different?" (Ars)
“There a lot of different attributes in magic, and the attribute that can be used is determined by the color of magic water. Red magic water is called magic water of fire because its used for fire magic. Blue magic water is called magic water of water because it activates water magic. Finally, green magic water is called magical water of air because green activates wind magic." (Ritsu)
"How many attributes are there?" (Ars)
"There are a lot of them. In addition to the three attributes, there are lightning attributes, darkness attributes, light attributes, ice attributes, sound attributes, poison attributes, shadow attributes, curse attributes, healing attributes, enhancement attributes, etc." (Ritsu)
It's more than what I imagined.
I think the attributes he listed is a lot, but is there more? I wonder if there is a difference between shadow attributes and dark attributes.
I think there are differences that's why the attributes were separated.
"Messiaen is the main source of magic stones of fire, where they are mined, and also the main source of the magic water of fire. Next to the magic water of fire, Is it magic water of sound?"
Sounds...what is the use of sound magic?
Will it be used when giving commands on the battlefield?
Or maybe it makes a sound bomb that breaks the eardrum.
If that is the case, the caster will be damaged as well, so it's no good.
"Can you tell me the chant?" (Charlotte)
I was a little focused with the explanation, that we forgot Charlotte was there.
"I'm sorry, I'll teach you now." (Ritsu)
Ritsu hurriedly teaches the spell.
"I'm going to let you use the fire ball this time. The chant is 'fire, burn your enemies.'"
This is the magic I used before.
The fire balls fly in a straight line and explode when it hits the target.
The magnitude of the explosion mine made is small.
The fire ball's explosion, which I released, was only small but if a talented one releases it, a larger explosion may occur.
"When you use magic, you have to put your palms forward. Otherwise, it won't work." (Ritsu)
"Right or left?" (Charlotte)
"It's easier to aim with your dominant arm." (Ritsu)
"Then left" (Charlotte)
Charlotte seems to be left-handed.
Ritsu said that the plains were populated with trees and that she should shoot one of them with fire ball.
Charlotte faces her left palm toward the nearest tree that was around.
"Fire, burn your enemies." (Charlotte)
Cast a spell.
Then, the catalytic converter emits light for a moment. Almost at the same time, a flame blasted out of Charlotte's palm.
Flying at a tremendous speed and upon hitting a tree.
A tremendous sound echoed around, causing a huge explosion.
The tree disappeared without a trace.
And only a large crater was left at the site of the explosion.
Ritsu and I look at it with a stunned expression.
Previously, the power of the explosion of my fire ball was like a firecracker. I was shocked to see how it could change with just a different user.
"...Is this really great?"(Charlotte)
"It's not a bad occurrence... I've seen mages on the battlefield many times, but I've never seen Fire ball explode like this before... did you really use it?" (Ritsu)
Charlotte nodded.
"No doubt. She's a magical genius." (Ritsu)
Even if Ritsu didn't tell me, once I saw her magic, I knew it.
“But Ars-sama's ability to see talent is really amazing. I'm impressed.” (Ritsu)
Ritsu said with a respectful look.
I found Charlotte to be an increadible mage, just as her status says.
If people witness her power, even father will have to accept her.
Being convinced that she could be a vassal, we journeyed on the way back to the mansion.
