VOLUME 1 – CHILDHOOD
Learning Dangerous Magic
Pack (01/02) ❈ Chapter 4 will be uploaded later… really later… i’m busy right now….
NT: Sorry for the delay. I was a little busy last week dealing with some issues, but I already solved everything (for now). Now… this time I had some extra time, so I could finish two chapters (❈ Chapter 4 will be uploaded later… really later… i’m busy right now….)… the one of the this and last week, so we can act as if nothing had happened, isn’t it great? Hahaha, and… well… that.
Important
NT2: I found the chapters translated for Raising Dead. If someone wants to go see the chapters, just click here. There is the Volume 1 complete.
Now… I plan to continue translating volume 1. There are two reasons for that. First… I already started this, and I plan to carry it to the end … Second… our versions are a little different. I try to see the RTD version to confirm some things and… it was different… it’s not that it hadn’t happen to me with other novels (as with the novel, «Because Janitor-san is not a Hero». My Spanish version and the English version is quite different in numerous parts…) but… well… if I simply continue directly from volume 2, I feel that several things that are confusing may end up appearing due to the difference between the two versions, so… In addition, I am really slow with the translation of the Spanish version (I can only translate one chapter every three weeks right now), so this will prevent me (us) from catching up with it too soon.
It had been two weeks since the library door was destroyed.
The time had finally come.
It was time to read some books and learn about magic.
Although due to the overprotection I had, it would be impossible for me to learn magic without problems.
When the moon rises, the employees go to bed.
That was when I took advantage and jumped out of the cradle.
「…… Fu~u」《SFX of sigh》
Being impatient is strictly prohibited.
Although I might be being too careful.
Inside the library there are lots of books sorted on the shelves.
In other words, even I, who currently has a bad physical condition, could read some of the books that were arranged near the floor.
I also knew which books were there.
It should be among the books that are stacked near the broken door.
I don’t want someone to find me so I’m crawling up there.
Let’s see, it should be around here――
『Directory of Magic Understanding ~ Master Edition ~』
That is.
This was one of the only books on magic that I had within my reach.
Even so I would like to start with an introductory edition.
But all the other books are out of my reach.
I have no choice but to start with this textbook.
I should somehow be able to learn some kind of magic anyway.
Main types of Magic.
⦁ Attack Magic
⦁ Support Magic
⦁ Healing Magic.
Magic are divided depending on their scale, characteristics and purpose.
『Attack Magic』 is a rare thing but it is also relatively easy to learn.
It also has a certain affinity to fire, earth and water.
『Support Magic』 is a type of magic that provides certain benefits in exchange for magical power.
Among the types of spells it possesses are spells of enchantment, detection spells and search spells.
It is very difficult to control, so arduous training is required to be able to use it.
And the 『Healing Magic』.
It is necessary to have a rare talent to be able to use it so that only a handful of magicians are able to use it.
In addition, it has numerous limitations, among which are the fact that it is unable to revive the dead or instantly close up wounds.
「… *Fumu*」《SFX of snort》
Now about the rebound.
In conclusion, because the magic power that is necessary to use to use magic is within the individual’s body, magic cannot be used without being prepared to suffer from its consequences.
Due to these there are many risks when using magic.
The greater the amount of magical power used to conjure the magic, the greater the damage the body will receive.
Either a feeling of tiredness or that of an old wound opening.
It depends on who conjures it.
Oh well.
That would be one of another 100 theories.
Anyway, why don’t I try to use magic to prove it myself?
It would be bad if I use attack magic carelessly while I’m still in the library.
It is also sure if I am able to use healing magic.
So I guess I should try support magic.
『Mega Telepath*… Create a link with the mind of another person through magical power. This ― higher ― version of telepathy is capable of transmitting the thoughts from both sides.
Unlike its lower version, this version also allows the objective to transmit its thoughts.
Nor does it have a range as limited as its lower version.
Magic power consumption • Low ╳ Learning difficulty • High 』
NT: Most of the spells in this novel are written in English with Katakana (a simpler form of writing that is often used to point out how to read some Kanji among other things). There are some exceptions, but most are written in the same way. Anyway, I will put all the text that was written that way (in English with Katakana) in italics to point out the difference.
❈ I also do it (putting word in italics) with the SFX, but this should not cause any confusion since the difference between the two can be noticed.
Oh With this I could communicate with another person even though I still cannot speak.
If I can keep it a secret, then I should be able to tell someone what I want.
In order to use it, I need to memorize the spell’s enchantment.
The most important thing when it comes to acquiring magic is the 『Image』 and the 『Pose』 that you have of it.
Even if I memorize the enchantment, if I don’t have those two clear points I could be a victim of a strong rebound.
Even so, memorizing enchantment is the key to activating magic, so memorizing enchantment is just as important than the Image and the Pose.
I wonder what I should start with.
Let’s try what I can do first.
(…… Deploy magic power)
First I imagined myself using the magic of Mega Telepath, then I began to pronounce the enchantment.
After deploying my magical power, imagine who wanted to link me with magic.
It’s just a test but I hope to be doing it properly.
Then I proceed with the next step.
Now I must open a path between myself and the person whom I have chosen.
The preparations are complete.
After that, the only thing left to do is build the magic circuit and then the magic would have to be activated.
(… From my body, appears, magic circuit―― 『Mega Telepath』!)
Pronounce the charm as strongly as possible inside my heart.
Then I felt like my whole body was getting hotter.
At that time I was attacked by severe palpitations.
「U… Uuah?」
I was shaken.
I wonder if this is what it feels like when magic is activated.
Even so, it’s not that bad.
Then, as I relaxed, some words appeared momentarily in front of my eyes.
【Mega Telepath】
Oh, it seems that somehow, I managed to learn this magic.
The phenomenon of the words that were recorded in my eyes seemed to occur when the magic was acquired.
However, it seems that since I did not find someone to communicate with, the spell failed.
The only thing I hear is a noise similar to that of a sandstorm.
Oh well.
Now I just have to conjure the enchanment to activate the spell.
Alright, I should learn another one.
Learning a very striking spell is dangerous.
But still I need to learn some kind of attack magic for self defense.
Since my body is still that of a child, the only way to defend myself when an emergency occurs will be using magic.
While thinking about it, I began to look for the magic of the lowest power in the master edition.
『Astral Fire… By condensing a large amount of magical power, a fist-sized fireball is generated.
The highly compressed fireball will remain active until it reaches and burns its target or until the user’s magical power runs out.
Magic power consumption • Large ╳ Learning difficulty • Medium 』
This will be fine.
There were magic of other attributes, such as water and wind but their learning difficulty was very high.
Actually, it is really difficult to be able to learn it on the first attempt.
However, the difficulty of this is not so high.
As long as I control it well, I won’t burn everything.
But still, I must handle it carefully.
Then take the necessary resolution start conjuring the spell.
(Demon blood that overflows from my body.
Become a flame and burn everything at my will … 『Astral Fire』)
The entire room was covered by a red light.
At the same time, some letters began to float in the middle of my eyes.
【Astral Fire】
Good, I was able to acquire it correctly.
It was easier than I thought.
In the middle of the room a fireball was floating, which gave off an incredible amount of heat.
It was red and looked like a ruby.
All right, that shouldn’t stay here.
It’s time to cancel the magic――
Zukiri. 《SFX of rebound》
A squeaky pain began to attack my head.
First I felt like vomiting.
Then little by little the migraines began to increase until I went crazy.
「… Ughh, AHhhhhhh!」
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.
What is this? Is it the magic bounce?
But I just use Mega Telepath so easily before …
「…… Ah」
Astral Fire.
Magic power consumption • Large.
The body is affected in proportion to the magic power consumed.
I’m sure it was written somewhere in the Spells Book.
Is not like I forgot that.
I just didn’t expect to suffer this much.
I didn’t know that the damage I would receive from the rebound would be so severe.
This is bad.
The fireball began to wander because I lost concentration.
The flame began to expand gradually showing signs of being about to explode.
At this pace it will cause a great explosion.
「… Giuu, Uaah」
I must stop it.
Who created that flame was nobody but me――
I should be able to do it.
What about with this pain?
I should be able to deal with it with the only good thing I have, my tolerance for pain.
Somehow I managed to prevent the flame from going out while the expression on my face distorted with pain.
Either way, if i run out of magic power, the flame will dissapear, so i just have to endure it a little more.
But, the pain also increased as the amount of magical power it consumed increased.
I must cancel the magic as quickly as possible.
However, controlling the flame requires additional magical power.
In other words, this has only become a vicious circle.
「… Guuh」
I was supposed to be more cautious after I died once.
But still I got carried away by my curiosity.
The pain continued to increase as I lamented, clouding my conscience even more.
At any moment I will pass out.
And then――
「Regis-sama!」
Someone suddenly held my body.
Everyone should keep sleeping.
I could perceive a pleasant vanilla smell.
Then an indescribable sense of security began to spread throughout my body.
I repressed the pain I felt and tried to see the person who was holding me.
It was Wokins.
What is she doing here?
Everyone inside the mansion and even the servants should be sleeping.
As soon as Wokins saw the fireball floating in the room she cleared her throat.
Then he began to conjure the enchantment I had never heard before.
「Oh ancient waterfall, drag everything in your path.
Obliterates death with your sacred water.
Holy Grail, pour down your abundant waters… 『Chaos • Cataract』」
A torrent of water appeared from somewhere covering my entire field of vision.
The fireball began to evaporate the falling water in an attempt to resist.
However, it was a massive amount of water.
Because of that it did not take long to become extinct.
「Are you okay, Regis-sama?」
Wokins looked at me worried.
Apparently, she wasn’t angry.
Even so, in my heart I only felt regret and pain.
Even so.
Somehow she notice that I was in trouble.
(I wonder if she just pretended to be asleep…)
「No, I was asleep.
But suddenly I heard Regis-sama say, 『It hurts』, so I quickly got out of bed…」
「… … … Fuaaa!?」
Do she hear the voice of my heart?
I guess Mega Telepath managed to connect.
Although I never assign a specific partner to communicate with.
It seems that I unconsciously chose Wokins.
She closed the book I was reading.
「It is too early for you to use 『Astral Fire』.
Fitst learn some magic from a lower level if you want to use it again」
I guess I should obey that order.
Using top-level magic so suddenly is not going to take me anywhere.
Oh wait a moment.
I have to ask what I was interested in.
(…… Wokins?)
「What happens?」
(It’s about the fact that I took one of the spell books from the library without permission.
Besides, I’m talking like this
…. You’re not going to say anything?)
It wouldn’t be strange if I felt terrified if I was in her place.
Children should not be able to speak this way at this age.
Even so, Wokins only nodded while smiling.
「I had always thought Regis-sama was different from the rest」
(Did you discover me?)
「Yes, well, it was actually my own intuition」
That means that my performance was not as good as I thought.
Although I struggled to act like a baby.
But still, that’s not what worries me right now.
(… Intuition?)
「Female intuition―― Or should i say the intuition of someone who was originally a magician」
I see.
I was able to see the kind of magic she used and I am sure that it is not something that a normal person can do.
How problematic girl.
「Since I am a Super Maid I am able to do anything.
I just need to see someone’s magical power to know what kind of person he is」
(… Amazing)
「Thank you very much. *Fufu*, I was praised」
Wokins placed her hands on her cheeks while blushing.
What kind of reaction is that?
I still can’t guess what this person is thinking.
While looking at her expression, Wokins opened her mouth saying 『However』.
Then she brought her finger to her lips and said, with a serious look on her face.
「The best thing would be for us to keep Regis-sama’s situation a secret from others」
Apparently my situation was still abnormal after all.
I would like to avoid the problems.
Lets hold back and just do what we can do right now.
「I will keep silent, so please, don’t worry about it」
Wokins said that while pressing her hand against her chest.
I’m thankful.
Seriously, I don’t think I can take anything else.
「Also, the next time you want to study magic, you will do it with me.
Please don’t ever try to do it by yourself alone」
Oops.
It seems I can’t refuse this.
However, it is not as if there is a problem with accepting it.
Also, from now on I will have a magic teacher.
「Got it?」
(Got it)
I agreed.
Then she took my hands.
At that moment Wokins was illuminated by the moonlight which covered her with an indescribable beauty.
「Well, then, I’ll be in your care from now on, Regis-sama」
(I’ll be counting on you from now on too, Wokins)
And that way.
Wokins magic lessons began.
◆◆◆◆◆
By the way, the library had been flooded.
The next morning, Shadiberga was cleaning the Library with an annoying expression next to Wokins.
I really regret that he have to clean all this.
I assure you that one day I will pay you for this.
On the other hand, while cleaning something unexpected happened.
It seems that Shadiberga had been hiding some of his personal books, which was about some issues that a child like me should not get involved yet, in the library.
And this was found by Wokins.
Then Sefina found out about that,
and called Shadiberga to her room to explain why he had that kind of books.
I will only say that the scream I heard that time was the biggest I had heard so far.
I thought about asking Wokins about what happened later.
But, on my way yo ask her, I met Shadiberga, who was leaving Sefina’s room.
His face was paler than I thought possible.
……… Okay.
Honestly, I didn’t have to ask for more explanations.
I recorded this lesson deep in my heart as cold sweat ran down my forehead.
Gentlemen, stay away from danger……!
NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
