Chapter 90

Thank you for reporting the typo and for your feedback!

As Jusuke explained the parts of the doll and their functions, the group was amazed that such functions could exist in their own bodies.

When Jusuke started his explanation, Arlshein and the others gathered around to listen.

After explaining the circulation of blood throughout the body and how to circulate magic power along with it, Jusuke, who understood the theory, successfully circulated magic power throughout his body.

His body began to warm up, and he started to sweat lightly.

Then, he channeled magic power into his muscles to strengthen them.

Imagining strong and flexible muscles, he strengthened the muscles throughout his body.

When he jumped on the spot, he easily jumped higher than Arlshein's height.

Seeing this, the group became more motivated.

At first, he thought it was the same as when he used the magic sword, but since it made him stronger, he decided it was fine.

Jusuke, who quickly mastered the technique, ran around the training ground.

The intensity of the full-speed run after a long time made him feel a bit off, and Jusuke also became hyper,

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The two of them laughed and ran around, jumping.

The lightness and sturdiness of his body, which he had never experienced in his previous life, made him unable to stop laughing.

Jusuke jumped over his head with a backflip, ran along the wall, and ran around for a while, laughing like a fool, until he was satisfied and returned to the group.

When he looked at the others, Chief Tails Miyah was spinning at high speed with his torso, Yugram was slowly flowing his magic power up to his elbows and knees.

The others were doing similar things, slowly rotating their torsos.

Since there was no other way, he took out a pen and paper, drew a rough sketch of the human body, and roughly drew the blood vessels.

He then drew the muscles in a different color and had Jusuke explain.

The group looked at the diagram intently and continued to train.

As the magic power began to flow into their limbs, he told them that their body temperature would rise when the magic power circulated properly, and they began to channel the magic power to their fingertips.

Physical enhancement, which involves forcibly strengthening muscles that are not usually used with magic power, was found to cause severe muscle pain after use.

In his previous life, the muscle pain that would come two days later came immediately!

Jusuke and he groaned, "Ouch, ouch, ouch," and were laughed at by the others.

Jusuke, despite the pain, had to walk on his own, but he was carried to the cafeteria.

They parted ways with the two teachers and sat at their usual seats, placed their orders, and as they waited, a commotion broke out in the center of the cafeteria.

When he looked over, he saw Cavendish and the former president glaring at each other with a female student caught between them.

The scene was familiar, but the person in the middle was different.

His interest was immediately lost.

It seemed the others felt the same way, as they only watched from a distance without making a fuss.

The female student, who seemed to be aware of the situation around her, was flustered, but Cavendish and the former president ignored her and continued to glare at each other.

If she would just get out of the way, it would be fine, but she just stood there, flustered, not stopping the two, so no one tried to help her.

The waiter brought their meals, and they said, "Itadakimasu."

The cafeteria's children's lunch, which he hadn't eaten in a while, was a bit softer than before, and he could manage to chew it with his teeth.

However, he couldn't finish it all!

After that, he returned to his room, took a bath, and fell asleep.

Good morning.

The weather is clear today.

Yesterday, I suffered from muscle pain, but after a good night's sleep, I'm completely recovered!

Amazing! The recovery power of a young, child's body is incredible!

Shaking with excitement, he completed his warm-up exercises and vocal training, changed into his shell, and headed to the cafeteria.

He met up with Yugram, Digré, and Jusuke.

After greeting each other and placing their orders,

"Jusuke, how's the muscle pain?"

"Ah, it's pretty good, still a bit stiff, but I can move. How about you?"

"Completely fine! I fully recovered after one night!"

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder a child's body has such great recovery power."

"Right, muscle pain that would last a week in my previous body is gone in a day!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

While having a conversation that sounded like it was coming from an old man, the waiter brought their food, and they ate breakfast, then parted ways with Shell and Jusuke and headed to the classroom.

The second semester classes, which start today, are mostly lectures, so how will I pass the time?

While thinking about this, he used Haku as a cushion and sat next to Arlshein's desk.

His existence is now known to many people in the school, but since he is set up as a fairy who has a crush on Arlshein, he can't just walk around alone, as there will be people who will try to capture him. He has no interest in the classes, and if he uses magic, it will cause a big commotion.

While thinking, he casually rummaged through his magic bag and found the cursed magic items he bought yesterday.

When he took them out, he found a compact, square magic item with two mirrors attached, and a small, squishy thing coming out of the mirror part.

He wrapped his fingertips in holy magic and pulled out the squishy thing to remove the curse.

The mirror, once uncursed, became very clear and easy to see, but what was this thing? As he looked at the mirror, his usually forgotten appraisal eye popped up, saying ❨Communication Magic Item - Can talk to someone far away! But you need another one! Too bad!❩

The mirror could show the other person's image and allow simultaneous conversation.

Why does this world have high-tech things popping up from time to time? Is it the former goddess's strange obsession?

If so, she should have fixed the food situation first!

Anyway, when he tried to channel magic power into the mirror, it made a "vroom" sound, and a name, which seemed to be registered in the mirror, appeared on the mirror.

Since he didn't know any of the names, he touched the "delete" button at the edge of the screen, and all the names were deleted.

The operation was similar to a smartphone.

Well, this is on hold since there is no one to talk to.

Next, a few rings.

The design was like a punk-style chunky silver accessory. His second son, Eita, who used to be a boxer, would probably like it.

He also pulled out the squishy things to remove the curse.

The original performance of the rings was that four out of the five could avoid a single large-scale attack magic, a terrifying performance.

Why someone would try to modify such a valuable magic item is incomprehensible.

The remaining one had a complete defense against curses, which was also a high-performance item. It would be good to give it to a king or something.

Next, a long rope made of some kind of leather.

It also seemed to be a magic item, and its original performance was that when infused with magic power and thrown at a target to be captured, it would seal the target's movement and magic.

Next, a drawstring bag.

Its original performance was to store as much water as a swimming pool.

Next, a thin bag filled with white paper.

Its original performance was as a contract. If one party unilaterally broke the contract, the penalty written in the contract would be automatically enforced on the other party, making it a kind of cursed magic item. It might be good for a prime minister or something.

Next, a wooden box similar to a tea box from his previous life.

Its original performance was to store food that would stay fresh and cold, with a capacity of a cart. A refrigerator or cooler?

Next, a bundle of cloth tied with a leather belt.

Its original performance was a tent with a magic barrier against monsters, which could be expanded into three rooms, a living room, and a bathroom.

Next, a bag large enough for Arlshein to fit in, made of a material that seemed to be plastic.

Its original performance was to completely cut off one's presence and prevent monsters from approaching for a certain period of time, with magic defense. It might be useful in a life-or-death situation.

Finally, a square box about the size of a student's bag, made of neither leather nor wood, but plastic-like material.

Its original performance was to automatically create recovery potions when the necessary materials were placed inside, a mysterious box.

Digré bought all the cursed magic items out of curiosity, and he removed the curses and appraised their original performances.

Each one was a high-performance item.

If they weren't cursed, they would have sold for a high price.

Well, they can still be sold now, and the usable ones can be used.

Still, what is the stamp-like or burn mark on all the magic items? There is a pattern or letter-like mark in a circle, which might be the magic array that the fourth son, Shuta, mentioned?

Also, the sizes vary, but they have gems attached.

When he appraised them, it said ❨Magic Stone - Sometimes taken from monsters! Found in the brain or heart!❩

Does it mean I have to tear out the brain or heart of a monster? That's gross!

While thinking about this, the morning classes ended, and he was carried by Arlshein to the cafeteria.

They sat at their usual seats at the end of the cafeteria, which was moderately crowded, and placed their orders.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Keta, what were you so focused on this morning?"

He was told that he was so engrossed in the magic items during the break that it was hard to call out to him.

"It was the magic items I bought yesterday, removing the curses and appraising them."

"Oh! The interesting items from yesterday! So, how was it? Did you find any good deals?"

"Absolutely, all of them were good deals."

"Really! I thought the magic item shop had a lot of junk?"

Since it wasn't good to spread out the items before eating, he took out five rings.

"These four can avoid a single large-scale attack magic, and this one has complete defense against curses!"

"A magic item that can avoid a large-scale attack magic and complete defense against curses? What kind of performance is that, isn't it dangerous!"

"Yes, it's quite a dangerous performance."

"Did we really buy those at that price?"

The three of them were slightly sweating.

"Well, the price is not a problem, since if Mr. Keta hadn't removed the curses, they would have been just prank items, but didn't the shop owner say that they didn't have such terrifying performance?"

"Yes, I heard that too, it was more like a light-hearted feeling that it would be a good deal if the curses could be removed."

"Maybe... the original performance was really that dangerous, but as it was used, the curses piled up and the original performance became unknown?"

"......That might be the case. The ability to remove curses varies among priests, and it's possible that only some layers of the curses were removed, leaving the item incompletely uncursed."

"That Mr. Keta completely removed the curses!"

"And revealed the original performance!"

Arlshein looked at him with a "Ah, I see" look.

"Keta, you're not to blame, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Keta is not to blame, but has a wonderful ability!"

Yugram praised him.

Arlshein and Digré were also smiling, as if to say, "Well, it can't be helped," so it was fine.

There were still more items.

When the food was brought, they ate and returned to the classroom.

Back in the classroom, he took out the other items and explained them.

The others were slightly sweating and their faces were tense, but it wasn't his fault.

"Well, well, it's unexpected, but you've acquired very valuable magic items!"

Digré's character seemed to be breaking, is he okay?

"Ah, well, that's true, so? Which magic item do you want?"

When Arlshein asked with a slightly mischievous look,

"No, no, no, no! It's scary to have such powerful magic items! I'll offer them to the castle!"

"I agree. If we keep them, we'll just be targeted."

"The rope, which seems to be just barely safe, has no use, and the drawstring bag, which only stores water, is a bit tricky to use."

"......That's true, the performance is too good to be useful."

"That's right, if we were to become adventurers after graduation, it would be different, but for now, we have no use for them! But I'm starting to be curious about the performance of other cursed magic items."

"The shop owner said they would be in the capital until the end of the week."

"......Shall we go again on the weekend?"

"Yes!"

"Then, Keta, can you keep these items for a while?"

"Sure."

They plan to go looking for more cursed magic items on the weekend.
